Maui County Democrats are officially seeking a party member to fill the Central Maui Senate seat vacated when Shan Tsutsui accepted the job of lieutenant governor last week.
The party set a deadline for applicants of 5 p.m. Thursday.
Applicants need to be a Democrat in "good standing" who lives in Senate District 5, which includes Wailuku, Waihee and Kahului.
As Senate president, the 41-year-old Tsutsui was next in the line of succession for the lieutenant governor's position after Gov. Neil Abercrombie appointed Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz to succeed U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, who died Dec. 17.
According to an announcement from the Maui County Democratic Party, applicants seeking to be appointed to Tsutsui's former seat need to fill out a "Statement of Candidacy" form and submit a one-page resume and a short statement of why they want the job.
The "Statement of Candidacy" form is available online at www.mauidemocrats.org or by calling 358-5679.
Party district and precinct officers within the senatorial district will make up the official nominating committee. That panel will meet Saturday to hear presentations from candidates for up to 10 minutes.
Committee members may vote for up to three candidates.
The committee will submit three names to Abercrombie, who will appoint the district's new senator, the party's announcement said.
"I encourage any interested Democrats to apply for this position," said Justin Hughey, the District 5 State Senate Ad-hoc Nominating Committee chairman. "We are lucky to have such an open and grass-roots selection process. I look forward to reviewing each application with the committee and selecting three individuals who represent strong Democratic values that will help to move our community forward."

Carl "Doc" Greer
Captain (O-3)
Preferred Weapons:
820 Selective-Fire, Long Range Fully Automatic Assault Rifle
Carl "Doc" Greer is a medical doctor on the G.I. Joe team and specializes in emergency medicine. His extensive training has prepared him for battlefield situations requiring immediate care. He works with calm professionalism as weapons fire and battles explode all around him.
Doc is a repaint of the "25th" V1 Mail-Away Doc and the "25th" Arctic Snake Eyes figure (or Rise of Cobra (RoC) Frostbite). The head and helmet are from V1 Doc and the body is from the Arctic Snake Eyes with a new collar piece. Doc comes with a bevy of accessories which include: the medical bag from "25th" V1 Doc, some kind of "medical injector", a flare gun (from "25th" V1 Doc), snow cleats and a backpack. The backpack is from the "25th" Comic 2-pack Firefly, which opens and contains: a multi-tool, a flashlight, a water can and a "brick" of C4 plastic explosive(?), a stretcher (also from "25th" V1 Doc) and blanket.
The figure overall has the same range of motion as the "25th" Arctic Snake Eyes or RoC Frostbite. The biggest issue some seem to have with this figure is the colors. Overall it is a descent figure if you can get past that.

Medical MistakesPosted Tuesday, December 29, 2009, at 10:26 PM
"A 1999 study by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates up to 100,000 people die and roughly another half million are seriously injured each year due to hospital errors. Costs to the nation are approximately $37.6 million, with $17 million associated with preventable errors."
Recently, I went to pick up a prescription for my two-year-old. It had been called in by a doctor covering for her regular physician that was out. Before they even handed me the medication, I realized that it was wrong. The pharmacy staff said that this is what the doctor called in.
As I waited for the correct medication to be made up, I started thinking about medical errors. Another person might not have realized the mistake and taken it home and given it. Had it been given, it probably wouldn't have caused a lot of problems. But, it makes one realize that everybody has to be on their toes. People make mistakes, it will always happen.
How many of you carefully review each and every prescription you receive? Do you double check dosages? Do you familiarize yourself with the drug, and its various uses? Do you look at the insert that they give you at all?
Just paying attention on the part of both medical providers AND patients would do so much to reduce the incidence of medical mistakes and malpractice claims. Awareness might not only save lives, but it will also impact the cost of health care. We need both.

I had this samething happen to me a few years ago. I don't normally check the insert before leaving the store but for some reason on this day I did and thank goodness I did. I was given medication for Epilepsy when I was suppose to be getting medication for treating my Myasthenia Gravis. Since that time I now check everything before leaving the store.

Maybe I'm weird but I really do sit down and read the paper they give you with it, before I take the medicine. I do it because I find it interesting and want to know what side effects, I most likely, will experience. It's scary that a little slip up could cause a lot of damage.
Guess it's kind of like when the hospital sent my boyfriend home twice with a cyst that should have been lanced right away, but it wasn't so the infection spread into his blood stream and he had to stay in the hospital for 4 days.
-- Posted by _Samantha_ on Wed, Dec 30, 2009, at 2:16 PM
Also I want to clarify that I'm not pointing blame at the hospital. It was a mistake cause they didn't see how large the cyst really was.

A good friend of mine was simultaneously prescribed a painkiller and an antibiotic to treat an infection in her foot. She asked the doctor before leaving his office (after receiving the prescription slip) if it was OK to take the two together. His response? "Sure, no problem. Well, let me check." Upon checking, he learned that the two reacted negatively together and could have landed her in the hospital. If my friend hadn't casually asked, he would have let her go right on and pick up the two prescriptions.
I don't expect doctors (or anyone in the medical community) to be walking pharmaceutical textbooks, but I do expect them to at least check before writing a prescription. Your best bet is to be proactive with your health and always double check.

This happened to me quite a few years back. I went to pick up a prescription cream for a terrible burn I received. After reading what exactly I was prescribed (I have never had a burn that needed treatment like this before) I called the pharmacy (who had all my allergy information correct in their system) and inquired into it. I am allergic to Sulfa and they had given me Silvadene. I'm glad I checked the information that day!

I've had this happen to me as well. The pharmacy gave us the wrong meds which givn in the dosage they stated would have landed my daughter in the hospital!
There are times I wonder if parents should be given a Pharmacy 101 class before being allowed to leave the hospital. Since my oldest was born, I've learned so much from our doctor and pharmacist just by asking questions and paying attention to what they're telling me! I can't imagine the people that simply just don't ask!

You have to be your own (and your family member's own best advocate). Check everything. Don't let them give you one single pill in the hospital that the giver doesn't know the name of and what the pill is for. Don't consent to any procedure that you do not understand. Make sure your elderly family members are bathed, hydrated, and fed. Never leave a child under the age of say 12 alone in the hospital by themselves. If the you, or the family member, is incapacitated, make sure someone who can speak for you (or for that family member) is in the room every time the doctor(s) make their rounds.
If you have multiple doctors, and you are getting different stories during your hospital stay, or you have a bunch of questions as to the prognosis or treatment, schedule a family conference with the attending physician to get the answers you need.
If the patient is treated poorly, call for the "charge" nurse. That nurse is in charge. Explain that corrective action must be taken or you will be contacting Joint Commission. If you don't know who they are...google them.
This is you or your family member's life. Take charge and make their hospital stay your responsibility. Make sure it is something that the hospital knows darned good and well that you are in charge, not the doctor, and certainly not the medical staff. Be nice, but be thorough and be stallwart. This is serious, so you be serious also.
You can't be a wimp. You have to put on your big girl or boy pants and step up. Do it. You'll be surprized at how much better things go.

Orange Liqueurs, the Burnt Fuselage, and Elwyn Richardson
"But I like to think how nice it's gonna be, maybe, in California. Never cold. An' fruite ever'place, an' people just bein' in the nicest places, little white houses in among the orange trees. I wonder – that is, if we all get jobs an' all work – maybe we can get one of them little white houses. An' the little fellas go out an' pick oranges right off the tree." (John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath)
I'm rather late saying this but another issue of DRiNK is out, which means more articles. This time time it's all about the orange, a fruit so ubiquitous in cocktails we easily forget how lost we would be without it. My first article takes a look at orange liqueurs, and the second turns to the Burnt Fuselage and the Kamikaze. Both articles, but particularly the first, got a little edited
The Burnt Fuselage had an odd run of popularity in Shanghai some years back. I found the recipe on Paul Clarke's Cocktail Chronicles, introduced it to a bar or two, and before long, not only were friends and strangers drinking it, but I was getting late night phone calls from bartenders I had never met asking me how to make the thing. This odd phenomenon didn't last, and Shanghai soon went back to drinking whatever it normally drinks. Truth be told, it was probably easier to start a cocktail trend back when Shanghai only had 2.5 cocktail bars.
Something else.
I just learned that Elwyn Richardson died late last year. It must be a couple of decades since I last saw Elwyn, but without him I doubt people would be paying me to drink cocktails and write about it. Although Elwyn was a teacher, the word does not fit. Certainly in his writing classes he didn't exactly teach. He just drew people's attention to common sense.
It is a pity I never told Elwyn I was writing for a drink industry magazine. He would have liked the idea.
RIP Elwyn. The orange-themed Steinbeck is for you.

Fran Ganter agreed to an interview Friday morning and then changed his mind, saying he'd prefer to let the flattering press release Penn State issued earlier in the week stand.
So here I am writing a Fran Ganter column without Fran Ganter.
It's a little tougher, and in most cases, when a subject is unavailable or not interested or, as is the situation with Ganter, would just like to leave well enough alone and fade off into the sunset, the column would be scrapped.
Though I wish he was willing to answer some questions on his retirement after 46 years as a central figure in the Nittany Lion football program, knowing there would be some he passed on, Ganter's position is understandable.
Between the Penn State community still being fractured - either resenting the NCAA, the administration, the Board of Trustees, Louie Freeh, the media or all of the above and others looking for any slight post-scandal perception that could trigger a social-media blaze - Ganter doesn't want to make anything worse for anybody.
Including himself.
But I still think Ganter's Penn State journey needs a last chapter, even if he's not helping to write it.
We're talking about one of PSU's true unsung heroes - maybe its most unsung hero - of the last 50 years.
People used to joke that Ganter's parents dropped him off in 1967 and never picked him up.
He was a fullback, an overshadowed position to start with, let alone in a star-studded backfield era that included Charlie Pittman, Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris.
One of his first coaching assignments was presiding over the freshman team; most of us didn't know they once had one.
He recruited and worked with the running backs and kickers - many All-Americans - before becoming offensive coordinator in 1983, and he often performed the unenviable task of coaching "with one hand tied behind beyond your back," as Joe Paterno would say when the Lions were relying on their defense and kicking game.
The payback came in 1994 when Ganter was in charge of one of the greatest offenses in college football history and earned national assistant coach of the year honors.
Shortly thereafter, he turned down the possibility of becoming Michigan State's head coach. Had he taken the Spartans' job, his departure would have disrupted the PSU staff significantly.
Instead, out of family and professional loyalty, he stayed, saying there were no assurances that he'd succeed Paterno, though no doubt harboring those dreams.
Paterno was 68 at the time, but he outlasted Ganter, who after losing his wife Karen suddenly in 2002, finally surrendered and took an administrative job in 2004.
In announcing the decision, Paterno said it was bittersweet and admitted, "I'm a little selfish," perhaps because one of his top comrades was leaving the sidelines. (In last week's press release, Ganter heaped praise on Paterno and said other than his father, who died young, Paterno was the greatest influence in his life.)
While many have suggested during the horrendous ordeal of the last 15 months that Jerry Sandusky was an heir apparent, nothing could be further from the truth.
Ganter was a much different story. He could recruit, develop players, scheme and communicate. He bled blue, and as a husband and father of four boys, he was a family man who represented the program with ultimate class.
More than anyone else, when an in-house succession was conceivable and would have been welcome in the mid-to-late '90s, Ganter paid the price for Paterno's desire to coach as long as he could breathe.
Ganter was then placed in the unfortunate position of being the person designated to deliver Paterno the note to call John Surma.
Ever the soldier, whether directed all those years by Paterno to be careful with the football or by a board with its back to the wall, he did what he was told.
No one in Penn State history has lived more highs and lows, on and off the field, than Ganter, who stayed an extra year to aid Bill O'Brien's transition.
I hoped to cover those topics - or at least the feelings he was willing to share - on Friday, the first day of the rest of Fran Ganter's life.
But being the ultimate company man, he quietly declined.
And, knowing all he's been through, I respect him for it.

Is Credit Karma a Scam?
|Email Print
You know the old maxim – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Does Credit Karma sound too good to be true? You can see your TransUnion credit score for free? You can get absolutely free credit monitoring? These are services that people pay good money for and Credit Karma, a company that isn't affiliated with any of the credit bureaus, is giving it away for free. It does sound too good to be true.
That begs the question – is Credit Karma a Scam?
Is Credit Karma a Scam?
While you can never say so with 100% certainty, I don't think they are a scam. I don't think they are a scam because I understand the business model and you can make more money legitimately than illegitimately, plus they've been at it for a long time. While none of these are absolute indicators of them not being a scam, I'd find it difficult to believe that this is an elaborate ruse designed to steal personal information. 🙂
For more information about their service, here's my Credit Karma review and video walkthrough.
How does Credit Karma Make Money?
I don't know for sure but my guess is that they make money when someone signs up for an offer on their site. When you visit the site, you're frequently shown banking, credit card, and other financial offers that are probably better than whatever you're using. When I logged in, I was shown an offer for the Citi Platinum Select MasterCard and estimates that I could save $342 over a year. Since I carry no balance, I know that savings estimate is wrong but for someone who does carry a balance, $342 is good savings. If I sign up, Credit Karma may be paid for that.
What About Other Free Credit Scores?
For almost every other free credit score offer, you get your credit score in return for signing up for a credit monitoring membership service. That credit monitoring service comes with a monthly fee after the trial period and the company is betting that you'll continue with the service, either by choice or because you forget to cancel. They aren't scams because they tell you this up front but Credit Karma doesn't sign you up for anything you will eventually pay for.
You will have to make your own determination as to whether Credit Karma is a scam. I've been using them for over a year with great results, they're the cornerstone of my do it yourself identity theft protection system and it's been working out so far.{ 440 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The best wrestling show that is offered today and it is live every Monday night (which means errors are obvious when they occur). Many believe it is the WWE better show- the other being Smackdown. Why is it better than Smackdown? Its because of the roster of wrestlers, storylines, etc. The current Raw champion is Goldberg and it will be that way for quite a while I would imagine.
Raw is the best weekly wrestling show...Ever!

(N.) The old, tired, worn out Mcmahon show. Comes on The Nashville Network/The National Network/TNN/The New TNN/Spike TV/The Stripperella Channel. Used to be run by Vince Mcmahon fully until the death of the WWF in April 2002, then it was run by Ric Flair until 2003, then Eric Bischoff. All of the fake wrestlers on the show are all over 40, and worn out, so their matches usually involve bone cracking, but not because of the opponents. Red Version Raw is slightly better than it's counterpart, Blue Version Smackdown, but it still is about as fun as watching the movie Corky Romano.
Raw is where the old fart Sports Entertainers of the WWE resides at. Some of their grandpa wrestlers are Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, and Triple H.

MONTREAL – All is good. That was the message Tuesday from the Buffalo Sabres after they apparently hugged out all the jaw-flapping that marked their trip to Washington on Sunday.
Rewinding: Patrick Kaleta blew a gasket after the morning skate about being a healthy scratch in his first game eligible after a five-game suspension. Ryan Miller than criticized Kaleta after the game with the kicker words being, "he needs to just grow up."
Miller and Kaleta, it should be noted, were roommates on the road the last three years. They made sure everything was good here Monday.
"He's like my brother, one of my best friends on the team," Kaleta said after Tuesday's morning skate, facing a phalanx of Montreal media. ""Some things were misunderstood there but we're family. Our season hasn't gone the way we wanted it to go and everyone knows that. Our job is to come together as a team and go out there and battle."
"We've actually been telling Patty to grow up for years. He brings his Legos on the road," said a laughing captain Jason Pominville, referring to Kaleta's elaborate hobby collection.
With Montreal reporters swarming the dressing room, Miller was not made available to reporters. He normally does not speak on days he's playing but Jhonas Enroth was in goal for Tuesday's game against the Canadiens that did not end in time for this edition.
During the Sabres' off day Monday, the team orchestrated an interview for its Web site with Miller that it tweeted links to multiple times. In the interview, Miller revealed he had apologized to Kaleta and said he was frustrated with the manner questions were presented to him by The News about what Kaleta had said.
"We're going to try to move on from that," Miller said. "Either way, I probably shouldn't have handled it like that but again, frustrated. I think everyone in Buffalo knows I'm prone to say stupid things that come up over the course of the season. I just wanted to make sure I've handled it with Patty.
"That's why you don't usually say anything in the media. I made a critical mistake there and I should know better. Pat was not real happy but we've known each other a long time, we were able to settle things down. Pat's got a big heart, he's an important part of this team and we obviously want him on this team and want him to play hard for us."
Video of Kaleta's rant and Miller's postgame response ran all day on national television outlets in Canada, and audio was broadcast multiple times an hour in Buffalo on WGR as well as being posted on Buffalonews.com.
Other players said Tuesday they considered the issue over.
"To be honest with you, it was kind of blown out of proportion," Pominville said. "They've talked, they're good buddies, they were roommates for three years. I don't think it has any effect on the team at all. The whole story just took off and everyone ran with it."
"It definitely wasn't an issue in this dressing room," said Steve Ott. "We actually, to be honest with you, have a really tight, close team. That's something that tough because there's a lot of negativity in losing. You want to continue to find the 'positivity' in winning when everybody is happy. We hold each other in here strongly accountable."
Interim coach Ron Rolston said he understood why Kaleta was angry Sunday and had no problem with it.
"We want players to be not happy when they're not playing," Rolston said. "We want players like that. If they're not in that mindset, than you probably don't want them on your team."
"Every single guy here in the dressing room wants him to continue to play that way," said Ott. "I don't want his game to change. I want him to be a factor like that and I know we all do in this room. Be on that edge. It keeps a lot of guys out there honest, if not a little bit nervous when he's on the ice."
Rolston added that Kaleta, a key shot-blocker on the Buffalo penalty-killing unit, pushes bounds of the rules and the Sabres need him to not shy away from situations out of fear of another suspension.
"He's got to play the way he is. If he doesn't, then we're taking away what he gives to the team," Rolston said. "He just has to find the line he can play on and below and not go over the line. But if you take away his game, you take away him as a player."
"People don't really realize how valuable he is," Ott said. "They think he runs around and hits guys but he 'eats shots' like I haven't seen a teammate eat them for a long time. The other stuff that he does, he battles, he'll fight you and he's tough as well."
The Sabres scratched John Scott, Nathan Gerbe and injured defenseman Andrej Sekera, who remains day to day. Rookie and former top draft pick Mark Pysyk played his second NHL game in Sekera's place. ... The Sabres will be back here to play the Canadiens again Saturday night. Their next game is Thursday at home against Toronto.

As the son of a serial killer, homicide detective Thomas "Veck" DelVecchio, Jr., grew up in the shadow of evil. Now, on the knife-edge between civic duty and blind retribution, he atones for the sins of his father- while fighting his inner demons. Assigned to monitor Veck is Internal Affairs officer Sophia Reilly, whose interest in him is both professional and arousingly personal. And Veck and Sophia have another link: Jim Heron, a mysterious stranger with too many answers… to questions that are deadly. When Veck and Sophia are drawn into the ultimate battle between good and evil, their fallen angel savior is the only thing that stands between them and eternal damnation.
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
Dmitri, dark, beautiful and deadly, is certainly not traditional hero material. I received more than a few surprised reactions when I announced I was writing his story. But the thing is, I had a secret—I knew Dmitri's history from the instant he appeared on the page, knew the forces that had shaped him, and so I saw him through a different lens.
Those forces were both of violence and of love, and they play a major role in Archangel's Blade, because to know Dmitri, to truly understand him, you must know his past. That past was painful to write at times, and it would've been easy to back off, and try to minimize things. However that would've done a huge disservice to Dmitri—after all, he's not a soft or easy character. He's a demanding male with brutal edges, one unafraid of the darkness within himself.
As a writer, I had to be unafraid of telling his story, no matter how painful.
A man like Dmitri, jaded and lethal, would eat most women alive—but Honor isn't most women. Not only is she a hunter who has survived hell itself, she hasn't let it turn her hard or cruel. In this, she is in many ways, Dmitri's direct opposite. He doesn't understand how she can still feel compassion after what she's lived through, but that very capacity is part of what draws him to her.
Theirs isn't a simple relationship in any sense of the word—how could it be, when Dmitri has had near to a thousand years to lose his humanity, and Honor is clawing back her own after an experience that would've shattered most people? No, it's a relationship that is raw, that is honest, and that is at times, heartbreaking.
While this is very much Dmitri and Honor's story, the other characters we've come to know in the series are an integral part of their lives. So we see Elena and Raphael, catch up with Illium, and cross words with Venom. Since Honor is a hunter, we also see others from the Guild, including Ransom and Ashwini. The Guild Hunter world itself is not static, and it too, deepens and develops further in this book.
However, it all comes back to Dmitri and Honor. I can't predict whether you'll see Dmitri as a hero after reading this book, but you will get to see beyond the dark blade of his personality and to the dangerous, fascinating man within. As for Honor, she might start the book broken, but she's more than a match for Dmitri. I hope you fall in love with her, and with their story.
As always, please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
Warm regards,

It's over! Marc Anthony and Shannon de Lima have called it quits after dating for more than a year.
"Marc is no longer dating model Shannon de Lima," his rep Blanca Lasalle tells PEOPLE exclusively. "The amicable breakup became official right in mid-January."
De Lima and Anthony – who went public with the romance last January on Twitter by calling his model girlfriend "my statue of liberty" – didn't show any sign of discord before their split.
The couple were spotted on Jan. 16 in New York City at Marquee, where an observer noted, "Shannon was dancing up a storm with her friends while sipping champagne and taking iPhone photos of the themselves and the light show. At one point, Shannon even jokingly gave Marc a lap dance when Pitbull came on."
The reason for their split? "The truth is they have been having a great time together, but it no longer worked," says a source.
As for Anthony, it seems he's moving on. "Marc is in a good place," the source adds. "Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't."
Before de Lima, Anthony, 44, was married to Jennifer Lopez for seven years. The couple announced their separation in July, 2011.
In a recent PEOPLE cover story, Lopez opened up about her painful split from Anthony, saying it felt like her "whole world fell apart."

Selfish how? The guy has posted better than a 3.00 GAA or 89% save percentage over the past two seasons. Honestly, if the alternative had been somebody more prominent than Ty Conklin last year, he probably never even gets the chance to play in the '09 Playoffs.
And from a fan's perspective, this thing is only going to get worse and worse with time. Osgood turns 38 in November. If he left after this season (and Howard plays well in the playoffs), there's a good chance much of this will be forgotten and he'll be remembered primarily as the winner of the 1998 and 2008 Cups, and a potential Hall of Fame candidate, based on his overall credentials. If I had the choice, I don't want to see another season where Osgood plays once a month, sucks, and then complains about inconsistent playing time again. I don't want to see this thing turn more sour.
Why do people forget that he complained about the fact Babcock was keeping BOTH goaltenders on the bench for extended periods of time?
Osgood wasn't complaining that HE wasn't getting starts, he was complaining that Babcock was not efficiently playing the goaltenders. Should he have been quiet? Yes. Was he being selfish? Absolutely not.

for such work. Write down a+x = P^2, b+x = Q^2, c+x = R^2, and then
focus on Q^2-R^2=b-c which is known. Moreover you know that Q >
sqrtb and R > sqrtc . Use this to show that Q-R is less than or

Ahi prices are up, but there should be no shortage of sashimi this New Year's, Maui fish retailers and wholesalers say.
"It should be available," said Victor Daubert, general manager of wholesaler Valley Isle Seafood in Kahului. "Ever since Christmas, the prices seem to go up and up."
On Friday, he said the wholesale price was $18 a pound for top-grade ahi or big-eye tuna, translating into a retail price of about $25 a pound. The next highest grade was retailing for $22 to $23 a pound, followed by a medium grade for $15 to $17 a pound, Daubert said.

Fish wholesalers and retailers report ahi prices are up, but there should be no shortage of the holiday delicacy.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
The retail price for poke-grade ahi was $12 to $14 a pound, he said.
Daubert said the wholesaler had probably sold 1,000 pounds of ahi on Friday. With retailers still placing orders, sales could double on New Year's Day, he said.
The Oahu fish auction, where wholesalers make purchases, will be open through Monday, Daubert said.
"The supply is still fairly strong," he said. "It's a matter of how much you want to spend. I don't see a short supply if the grocery stores want to pay the price for it."
At Oki's Seafood Corner located in Foodland Kahului, owner Elisa Garcia said the nice but not top-grade ahi was selling for $18 a pound, about the same as last year.
"The prices are a little bit high," she said.
The business was still taking orders for platters of sashimi and poke.
Orders for platters and trays also still were being taken at Takamiya Market in Happy Valley at prices ranging from $22.99 to $119.95, said employee Colette Kanai. She said the demand seemed to be about the same as last year.
At Whole Foods Market in Kahului, seafood team leader Josh Conner said both prices and demand seemed to have increased this year.
"Everybody wants sashimi," he said. "We're still keeping the poke prices low even though we're using higher-priced tuna."
There's also more demand for other seafood, including oysters and caviar for New Year's, Conner said. "It seems there's more demand for everything," he said. "There are a lot more people on the island, and they are spending more money."
He said the store will be open New Year's Day and will continue to receive fresh fish deliveries.
"Traditionally, we get don't buy enough tuna and end up with two to three deliveries," he said.

There is nothing more fun than toddlers at Christmastime, and since my husband is a little bit like a Christmas elf, it's kind of like having an extra toddler around.
Since Reza works at a church, this time of year is even a little more busy for our family than others: He often ends up needing to help out with different needs within the church and community that come up at this time of year.
One thing we have done this year to keep proper perspective during this busy time is to buy gifts for a couple of kids who otherwise won't have a Christmas.
I braved Walmart this morning with Hungry Boy (who would not change out of his pajamas) and The Princess in order to try to help them understand that all kids don't have the privileges they do. I also had a couple of returns to make so we did that first.
Hungry Boy had a meltdown before we got to the customer service desk, but still, I was determined, so we forged on.
It must be torture for a toddler to walk up and down every toy aisle in Walmart looking for a gift for someone else.
But that's what we did.
I'm not sure my mission was a success today - The Princess gets it, I think, at least to the extent that her 4-year-old mind can. But Hungry Boy may be a little too young yet. Two-and-a-half is pretty little; I probably had expectations that were out of proportion for his age.
At any rate, I would like to encourage each of you to consider "adopting" a family or child(ren) this Christmas. Even if my kids didn't learn their lessons thoroughly today, I was reminded again that even our modest single-family income is much more than so many people have. If you are unsure about how to find a family or kids, call a church to see if they are partnering with any local organizations that may know where there is the greatest need. Often, the gifts listed are things I take most for granted: gloves...a stocking hat...winter coat...warm pajamas...socks.
Talk about perspective.
I'd really really like to hear from you, readers, about things you have done to teach your children these kinds of lessons in grace and gratitude. I have so much to learn from other parents!
I'd also love to hear about how you avoid letting your kids fall into the "gimme gimme gimme" trap, or how you enjoy giving your kids what they want without spoiling them? I can't believe how slippery the spoiling slope is.
Another touchy question: How do you handle well-meaning other people who may want to spoil spoil SPOIL the kids without appearing ungrateful?!
Eek! So much to juggle!
Please go to the Greeley Moms Facebook page and comment on this blog with your suggestions and experiences!
I look forward to hearing from you all. While I wait, I'm going to go feed that Hungry Boy who still hasn't gotten out of his pajamas.
Read Allyson Zadeh Wednesdays on Greeley Moms.
I was reminded again that even our modest single-family income is much more than so many people have.

Internships are an important aspect of both the BASW and MSW curriculum. Social work education embraces the concept that students learn best when they are involved in the experience of integrating theoretical concepts taught in the classroom and employing them in internships. Students engage in understanding the importance of establishing professional relationships with their clients, the significance of assessment, determining goals in collaboration with clients, developing effective intervention strategies, evaluating their services, and developing a greater sense of self awareness that informs practice. Opportunities to learn practice concepts related to organizational and community involvement also are offered students. In addition, students are provided a unique experience through their educational process at the School of Social Work related to the trans-cultural perspective.
BASW Program:
Students in the program must complete two semesters of field practicum which requires a total of 480 hours of field internship in a program approved agency.
Students planning to enter internships should have their schedules and personal affairs arranged to enable them to devote 16 hours per week in a program-approved agency. Students who do not meet the minimum standard of performance may be required to complete more hours to gain the minimum competencies necessary for social work practice. A grade of "No Credit' in the internship courses results in further action taken in the social work program. See the Field Manual for policies governing internships.
Students in internships are covered by professional liability insurance. Agencies may require the use of a car, proof of auto insurance, finger printing, and background check as requirements for internships.
Please see the BASW Program Bulletin and the BASW Program Handbook for more details.
MSW Program:
Internships span four semesters with each semester being fifteen weeks. There are two consecutive semesters of internships for each academic year. The first two semesters require two days of internship ( Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday/Friday, 16 hours per week) while the last two semesters requires three days/24 hours per week (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). An exception to this three days/24 hour per week requirement for second year internship is available to students requesting to spread their second year placement over three semesters, and requires two days/16 hours per week for each semester. This exception must be formally requested. A minimum total of 1,200 internship hours is required.
The first year internship is planned for students to develop generalist practice skills in work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities within a trans-cultural perspective. The second year practicum provides further refinement of practice skills with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Students are placed in agencies serving various populations-at-risk.
Full and part-time students may petition either to consider their work site as a possible internship for one year or a block placement (five days/week until the hours are completed).
Students in internships are covered by professional liability insurance. Agencies may require the use of a car, proof of auto insurance, finger printing, and background check as requirements for internships.

Comparison of Allogenix Plus Demineralized Bone Matrix and Autogenous Bone Dust Versus Autogenous Bone Dust Alone in Ossification of Small Calvarial Defects, a Pilot Study. (DBM)

- How to Read a Study Record
The skull is made of multiple bones that are separated from each other at the time of birth through sutures (joints). These sutures (open spaces) allow for growth of the brain resulting in growth of the skull bones. These sutures close at different stages of life, the metopic suture is the earliest one to close at 2 years old and the latest at 26 years old. If these sutures (open spaces) close prematurely the patient develops craniosynostosis. This will result in lack of growth of the skull perpendicular to the suture line and increased growth parallel to the suture. There are different degrees of craniosynostosis that will result in anything from a slight ridge along the suture line to abnormal head shape causing constriction of the brain, developmental delays, and elevated intracranial pressure. Patients with significant abnormal head shape or patients showing any developmental delay will undergo surgical intervention. The surgery is called Cranial Vault Remodeling and it consists of opening the scalp to access the skull bones involved, then removing the bones from the underlying brain, reshaping and expanding the bone, and placing them back to protect the brain. The skull bones are held together with absorbable plates. Because the skull bones are expanded to allow for adequate brain growth there are gaps that are left without any bone. Some of these gaps are filled in with the left over small bony pieces. Other gaps are filled in with even smaller pieces of left over bone that is placed in a saw mill to form bone dust. Often, the amount of bone dust and bone pieces is not enough to fill in all the gaps. When the gaps are left unfilled it usually takes longer for these areas to be filled by the patient's own bone. This means that the brain underneath these gaps is left unprotected until they are covered with bone. At times, primarily in children 18 months or older, we find that these gaps are never fully filled requiring the child to undergo a second surgery in which bone is taken either from the ribs or the skull to fill in these gaps.
In this study we want to compare the effectiveness of a bone substitute (Allogenix Plus), a product derived from a dead human being that has chosen to donate it prior to dying, with bone dust , the patient's own bone pieces, in filling in these gaps versus bone dust alone. We will compare the percent of defect filled at 1 year in 5 patients 18 months or older with metopic craniosynostosis that received the bone substitute plus their bone dust with 5 previously operated patients with similar characteristics that received bone dust alone to fill in the gaps. The bone substitute that we are using will be provided at no cost by the company Biomet Microfixation. The bone substitute Allogenix Plus undergoes extensive screening for infectious diseases as well as processing to prevent a rejection. The product will be applied during standard surgery to 5 patients with metopic craniosynostosis of 18 months or older with skull defects no larger than 25 cm2, so it does not require any additional surgeries. Aside from the placement of this bone substitute the patient will proceed to receive the standard of care which includes a pre-operative CT scan, immediate post-operative CT scan, and 1 year post-operative CT scan of the Head. We will review these scans and look at percent of bony growth in the bone substitute plus bone dust group . We will also see the patients in clinic, during standard of care follow-up visits at 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year post-operatively. During clinic visits we will monitor the patient closely for any potential side effects of the bone substitute as well as complications of the surgery. We will then review the charts of 5 patients 18 months or older that have undergone surgery for metopic craniosynostosis until 5 patients with similar characteristics and defect size have been obtained. We will compare their post-operative CT scans and pictures and we will look at bone growth, bone resorption, bone gaps present, and need for secondary surgeries.

Experimental: Bone substitute
Enrollees will receive Allogenix Plus(TM), a demineralized bone matrix, to fill in calvarial gaps after cranial vault remodeling and fronto-orbital advancement.
Biological: Allogenix Plus
It is a demineralized bone matrix obtained using cortical or cancellous allograft bone that is treated to remove surface lipids and then dehydrated with ethanol and ethyl esther. It is further processed leaving behind proteins, bone growth factors, and collagen. It is combined with lecithin a which is resistant to breakdown by body fluids. It contains Pro Osteon Implant 500R a naturally derived material made from a non-decorative form of coral, which is subject to a patented thermal process, which converts the coral to hydroxyapatite. Following the conversion the material is no longer coral but a composite of highly resorbable calcium carbonate with a slower resorbing outer layer of calcium phosphate. The material retains the porous, interconnected architecture of coral which gives it a similar structure to cancellous bone, which provides a pathway for bony ingrowth.
Detailed Description:
Specific Aims: 1) Evaluate the efficacy of the bone substitute Allogenix Plus in ossification of small cranial defects in patients with metopic craniosynostosis forms exist. These are derived from cadaver graft material that have been determined eligible for transplantation by a qualified tissue bank medical director and communicable disease testing has been performed by a laboratory certified under CLIA. Allogenix Plus is a demineralized bone matrix obtained using cortical or cancellous allograft bone that is treated to remove surface lipids and then dehydrated with ethanol and ethyl esther. The bone is further processed with hyaluronic acid to remove acid-soluble proteins in the bone, leaving behind other proteins, bone growth factors, and collagen. The demineralized bone matrix is then combined with lecithin a non-toxic lipid carrier derived from soybeans that is resistant to breakdown by body fluids. It also contains an additional synthetic material know as Pro Osteon Implant 500R. This naturally derived material is made from a non-decorative form of coral, which is subject to a patented thermal process, which converts the coral to hydroxyapatite. Following the conversion the material is no longer coral but a composite of highly resorbable calcium carbonate with a slower resorbing outer layer of calcium phosphate. The material retains the porous, interconnected architecture of coral which gives it a similar structure to cancellous bone, which provides a pathway for bony ingrowth. Allogenix Plus is osteoinductive, serves as a scaffold that will provide the framework necessary for bone growth, and osteoconductive, able to induce bone formation when placed into a site were bone may not normally grow. It has been approved for use in filling craniofacial defects and craniotomies that are no larger than 25 cm2.
Material and Methods: In this study we will recruit 5 subjects of 18 months or older with metopic craniosynostosis who will receive Allogenix Plus and bone dust to fill in small calvarial gaps and compare them to a historical cohort that only received bone dust. The parents of new patients seen in clinic will be asked to participate on a voluntary basis until 5 subjects with of 18 months or older with metopic craniosynostosis undergoing fronto-orbital advancement and cranial vault remodeling have been recruited. They will be advised as to the risks and benefits of the study. Once informed consent has been obtained the patient's will undergo surgery. During surgery the calvarial defects less than 25 cm2 will be measured and filled in with a quantified amount of bone dust and a quantified amount of Allogenix Plus. Pictures will be taken of the different stages of the procedure as is currently standard of care. Once we are done with surgery the patient will obtain a Head CT scan in the immediate post-operative period, as is current standard of care. The patient will then receive our standard post-operative care. During clinic visits at 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year we will evaluate for any potential complications including infection, rejection of transplanted material, and wound breakdown. One year after surgery the patient will undergo another CT of the Head. In this CT scan we will evaluate for bone formation, bone resorption, and bony gaps present. We will then obtain a historical cohort comprised of 5 patients that are age and sex matched to our 5 subjects who received Allogenix Plus by performing a chart review. We will compare through pictures, immediate post-operative CT scans of the Head, and 1 year post-operative CT scans of the Head the defect size and the and percent of ossification of defects with bone dust alone, which is our current standard of care, versus bone dust with Allogenix Plus.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Months to 36 Months (Child)
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children between the ages of 18 months and 36 months with metopic craniosynostosis undergoing cranial vault remodeling with defects 25 cm squared or less
Exclusion Criteria:
- Allergic reaction to any of the components of the bone substitute Allogenic Plus.

LISBON - The county agency that serves the mentally handicapped received a Christmas present of sorts from the Columbiana County Engineer's Office.
County Board of Developmental Disabilities Director William Devon II reported that county Engineer Bert Dawson's office has offered to hook the BDD's Robert Bycroft School and nearby workshop into a new waterline being run to the area.
The school is located on state Route 172 and the workshop about a quarter mile away on County Home Road. County commissioners are in the process of extending municipal water service to the area, and also benefiting from the waterline are the county jail, county dog pound and county juvenile detention center, known as the Tobin Center, all of which are located on County Home Road.
Devon said they were prepared to hire JP Plumbing of Lisbon for $5,400 and Paul Mitchell Excavating for $15,630 to install a line connecting the school and workshop to the new waterline, but the engineer's office staff will instead do the work at no cost to the BDD.
He said they were obviously grateful for the gesture and pleased to be able to replace their well system with a reliable source of municipal water, which will be coming from the city of Salem's system.
"This is a great thing for us because we're going to have water for all the buildings even if the power goes out," Devon said.
The BDD and the other county buildings will also benefit from a mini-sewage treatment plant being built in the area by commissioners to specifically serve the agencies by replacing individual mini-treatment plants.
In business at its recent meeting, the BDD approved a settlement agreement with Cecelia Rose, a workshop employee. Rose's employment had been terminated and she filed a grievance, but the settlement agreement resolves the dispute, with the end result being she will no longer work for the BDD. Devon said his attorney advised him against disclosing any further details of the agreement.

Back in October, 9to5Mac found an evidence for a next-generation Apple TV being in the works – a reference to 'Apple TV 3,1' (current model is listed as 2,1) inside the iOS 5 file system. The number changing from 2 to 3 should signify a major upgrade. 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman believed the device would get a dual-core A5 processor (that would open door to true 1080p) and a bluetooth support.
This Monday Gurman found that a new codename – J33 – has been assigned to Apple TV in iOS 5.1. According to Gurman, iOS release history tells us that Apple assigns a proper codename to products that move closer to release.

Why do I need an Identity Theft Service?
Am I really at risk?Doesn't my bank protect me from identity theft?Why do I need to know my Identity Threat Score?Isn't shredding enough?Why do children and seniors need protection?Why do I need to protect my medical identity?
Yes. More than 15 million people become victims of identity theft every year, and over 200 million identities were breached in 2007. An identity is stolen every two seconds in the United States - it's been the fastest growing crime in the U.S. for the past four years. But with TrustedID, you can protect your and your family's identity so you don't become a statistic.
Unfortunately, services like the credit monitoring offered by many banks and credit card companies only alert you after there is a problem - by the time you are alerted of suspicious activity, it's too late. Your account has already been compromised. TrustedID is different because we help stop identity theft before it happens.
The Identity Threat Score provides personal measure of your risk of identity theft. It is important to know your score because it will alert you if you are at a higher risk of identity theft and TrustedID's Protection Specialists will be able to walk you through the process of protecting yourself and staying safe. This score is updated every time we see activity so you will always be up-to-date in understanding your risk.
Not anymore. As technology evolves and companies do business in new ways, there are ever-increasing opportunities for identity thieves to steal your identity and commit fraud. With TrustedID on your side, you can stay one step ahead.
Children's identity theft is one of the fastest growing segments of fraud. Seniors are also at high risk for identity theft — they often have significant savings and may have trouble monitoring their accounts carefully. At TrustedID, we know it's not just your own identity at risk, it's also your loved ones�so we make it easy to protect all the members of your household.
Medical identity theft is the newest and fastest-growing form of identity theft. Increasingly, thieves have started seeking treatment using another person's name and medical insurance information. This means that their treatments could be taken out of your benefits and even disqualify you from new health insurance. Most dangerous of all, if the thief's medical history is confused with yours, your own medical care could be jeopardized. TrustedID will help you monitor your medical benefits to be sure you're the only one getting treatment under your policy.

of Apple's Mac computers often point to the machines' relatively high
price of entry and small market share when looking at the overall PC
market (Microsoft still dominates thanks to a plethora of
Windows-based machines). However, when compared to other PC
manufacturers, Apple
is doing quite well (at least in the United States).
statistics from IDC show that Apple has now moved into third
place for PC shipments in the U.S. Apple's shipments grew a whopping
24 percent for Q3, which gave Apple 10.6 percent of the market.
Dell's shipments actually dropped 4.9 percent giving it a 23.1
percent share of the market, while HP's shipments increased 2.7
percent to give it 24.3 percent of the market and first place
and Toshiba took fourth place and fifth place respectively.
though HP and Dell each more than double Apple's U.S. market share,
Apple has the high-end covered. Apple owns
over 91 percent of the $1,000+ PC market which has helped to fuel
its record
revenue growth.
influence on the PC market continues to grow, particularly in the
U.S., as the company's iPad has had some negative impact on the
mini-notebook market. But, the halo effect of the device also helped
propel Mac sales and moved the company into the number three position
in the U.S. market," said Bob O'Donnell, IDC's vice president
for Clients and Displays.
it comes to global sales, Apple doesn't even register in the top six.
For Q3, the top global players were HP followed by Acer, Dell,
Lenovo, ASUS and Toshiba.
a sluggish start, the quarter ended with a good rally in September
which could be a good prelude for what is ahead," said IDC
research analyst Jay Chou. "Lower PC component costs, budding
excitement around new media-centric form factors and continued
business buying should still make for a competitive holiday season."
good news on the Apple front comes on the same day that shares of the
stock closed
above $300 for the first time in the company's history.
quote: I for one am thrilled that Apple is gaining market share. At some point virus authors will find it viable to pay attention to Apple and then we'll all see that the Mac really isn't the "end all be all" that so many people think it is.Ever bother to read articles from respected security researchers that claim OSX is another security nightmare waiting to happen?Here's one example: http://news.techworld.com/security/1798/mac-os-x-s...On the other hand, I love having Apple around because it spurs innovation.Rock on!
quote: made computing and using the internet a fearful and anxious experience for millions
quote: imagine double the fear and anxiety of those same millions when they drop by the Apple store and see their price tags heheheee :)))

Pumpkin Pie
17 comments:
side addendum: It's really easy to start with your own (deep breath) real live (or just picked) pumpkin. (aghast unbelief, I know) Cut'er in half, scoop it out, bake on a cookie sheet and "wa-la!" Pure, solid pumpkin.ReplyDelete
(that is, if you have had luck with the first planting of pumpkin seeds or live elsewhere than SK) (I had no such luck this year, but hope to seek out real pumpkins nonetheless)
Pumpkin has to be my favorite pie (a tie between it and Key Lime). I actually prefer mine cold/chilled though.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 6, 2008 at 4:59 PM
Chris I do agree that the REAL thing would be wonderful. I did try it once and it was well worth it, but the cans in my pantry are so handy.ReplyDelete
Yes it is the season for pumpkin pie, if at all possible I go with the pumpkin straight from the patch! This recipe is very close to the one I use.ReplyDelete
Thanksgiving is not far away!
Alright...now we are talking! Wondered how long it would be before we would get a pumpkin pie recipe. And this looks wonderful! Thanks for the post. Such HEIGHT on that pie filling. Beautiful! I am going to try this yessssssireeee.....ReplyDelete
Oh I love pumpkin pie. . . it looks so wonderful.ReplyDelete
pumkin anything has got to be one of my favorites. i enjoy pumkin pie that others have made, and yet i have never tried to make it my self... no excuse now. if it comes from you it has got to be great!ReplyDelete
I want a piece of pumpkin pie SO badly. I can hardly wait. Our pumpkins in our patch are starting to turn..ReplyDelete
It has sweetened condeneses milk - it has to be good! And I love the height too! NO skimping on the goodness!ReplyDelete
Well it looks like I will need to try this one for Thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
We have pumpkin pie once a year and then it's special....
Looking forward to putting it in my file.
- AnonymousSeptember 8, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Anneliese I just read your comment and it is not sweetened condensed milk, but canned evaporated milk. I'm sure there are recipes with the sweetened milk but not this one. There are so many varieties of pumpkin pie recipes. KathyReplyDelete
Seriously .. .after I saw this .. .I had to make one. . it was delicious. . .thank you Kathy. . .my new pumpkin pie recipe.ReplyDelete
My (Canadian) fiance comes from a mennonite family and he LOVES pumpkin pie. Hes moving here to New Zealand for me and I want to learn some recipes of the food his mom makes.ReplyDelete
Ive got a question though, do you have a recipe for a hollow pastry thing that sounds like "raw cooking."? I tried it in July and we put watermelon in it. Mmmm
Hi Melody, I'm so happy to answer your question. I had a good laugh about it sounding like raw cooking...what you are looking for is Rollkuchen and they are found in ther Mennonite section on the sidebar.ReplyDelete
All the best and congratulations on your engagement!
- AnonymousOctober 4, 2011 at 7:16 PM
Oh, thank you for posting this exact recipe! I was looking for a pumpkin pie recipe for this Thanksgiving weekend just like Mom used to make and I remember well that stained, well-used Libby can label that used to be in Mom's stash. She also swears by (ok, she doesn't really swear!) Tenderflake for pie crust. I'm going to try making this with soy milk instead of evaporated milk for my lactose-intolerant daughter and nephew. I'll let you know if it works!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 18, 2012 at 9:41 PM
This Libby's pumpkin recipe has been a favourite with our family for many years! We like it with double the amount of cinnamon and cloves plus a little extra sugar. To keep it fast and simple, we always make a double batch and cook it in a 9 x 12 glass pan with no pie crust. Excellent served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!ReplyDelete
This has been our absolute family favorite for years. I didn't know that it came from the Libby's pumpkin can.ThanksReplyDelete

Carey's Hannah Tong and New Riegel's Brandyn Reinhart each led their teams to Midland Athletic League championships, as well as sectional titles. Now they have one more thing in common. Each was named MAL Player of the Year.
Tong led her Blue Devils to an outright league title with a 9-1 league mark. In the postseason, Carey avenged its only conference loss, downing New Riegel at Columbian to claim a sectional title.
Tong averaged a double-double for the year with 14.5 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.

Women's Basketball Opens MAC Play With Loss At Akron
AKRON, Ohio - The Ball State women's basketball team (5-7, 0-1 MAC) dropped an 87-78 decision at Akron (7-5, 1-0 MAC) Saturday afternoon in its Mid-American Conference opener.
Three Cardinals managed double figures on the night with junior guard Brittany Carter leading the way with a 19-point performance while adding five assists. Sophomore forward Nathalie Fontaine along with teammate freshman guard Jill Morrison each finished with 14 points for the game. Defensively senior guard Brandy Woody pulled down seven boards while freshman center Rennee Bennett ended the day with six.
Ball State shot 43.1 percent from the field, while Akron shot 50.8 percent. The Zips out-rebounded Ball State 39 to 26.
The Cardinals trailed the Zips at the half by 11 (50-39), Carter and freshman guard Calyn Hosea closed the first half with back-to-back baskets.
Akron still led by as many as 22 (76-54) with 9:03 left to play. Ball State then went on a 20-6 run which was sparked by four straight free throws from Carter. Two more free throws from Carter brought the Cardinals within eight (82-74) with 2:23 remaining.
Carly Young and Rachel Tecca would hit back-to-back layups to go back up by 12 (86-74) which would seal the victory for the Zips. Both Bennett and Fontaine each ended the game with layups for Ball State.
Tecca led all scorers with 20 points for Akron and was one of four Zips to score in double figures, joining Hanna Luburgh with 18, Kacie Cassell with 13 and Young with 10.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action at Eastern Michigan Thursday with a 7 p.m. tipoff in the Convocation Center.

From Dessie the trip to Makdala via Tenta should take six hours altogether.
To get to Tenta from Dessie, you must follow the road to Wegel Tena for about 70 km (not 95 km as indicated in the Bradt Guide). You pass the village of Kutaber (ca. 20 km northwest of Dessie) and then you descend in the valley of the Beshlo River. The 50 km stretch of road from Kutaber to the junction to Tenta is very scenic, but also in a very bad condition. In fact parts of the road and a bridge over the Beshlo are washed away, so you have to drive for some km in the river bed! You can handle this road in a 4×4 only during the dry season, and probably not at all in the rainy season. When I took this road alone in my Nissan Navara the 15th of April 2013, I didn't meet a single car for ca. 70 km, so it is definitely not for the fainthearted!
After about 70 km, when the road leaves the river to ascend to Wegel Tena, you must turn left to Tenta. There is no sign, but the road to Tenta is clearly visible. This gravel road was recently completed and is in an excellent condition (comparable to the road from Gashena to Lalibela). After about 30 km you will reach Tenta. At the main square of Tenta (if you like to call it a square), signposted by the equestrian statue of Ras Mikael and the Tenta branch of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, you turn right and you will see a sign "Bon voyage to Makdala". Follow this road for 17 km and you will arrive on Makdala Hill.
The road from Tenta to Makdala is was under construction in April 2013. The first part is already completed, the second part is still at least in some parts in a very bad condition, but you can handle it with a 4×4 without problems. Above all, you don't need anymore a permission from the police station in Ajibar or a police escort!
At Makdala you will be asked a "negotiable" entrance fee. Originally I was asked 100 birr, but I negotiated it down to 50 birr.You can pitch a tent close to the so-called "lodge" and sleep there overnight, as I did. "Sebastopol", the famous cannon, is not directly situated on Makdala Hill, but at the feet of another small pinnacle, called "Selassie" and separated from Makdala by a small saddle. Anyway you can reach it also by road and the locals, living on Makdala, are generally very helpful. And don't forget to visit the local "tella-beth", really a unique experience!
From Tenta you drive back to the Beshlo River on the new gravel road. After crossing the river over a new bridge, the road starts ascending to Wegel Tena. After ca. 30 km (from Tenta) you will reach the mentioned T-junction. Take the left turn to Wegel Tena (reccommended), which you will reach ascending after about 25 km. The right turn leads back to Dessie.
If you want to continue from Wegel Tema to Lalibela or Woldia, you must take the road to Gashena (74 km). This road is also under construction and some parts are in quite bad condition, too, but it is easily passable in a 4×4, and should not take more than 2.5 to 3 hours. When you reach the main road from Bahir Dar/Gonder to Woldia you can go straight on for another 64 km to Lalibela or turn right for another 112 km to Woldia.

12 Things to Watch for in Sunday's Colts-Titans Game
Look, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I thought it would be funny somehow, but it's creepy as hell.
I know it. You know it. Let's not make a thing out of it, ok? Thanks. And yes, I still suck at photoshop all these years later. Again, let's move on.
Last week Andrew Luck did the impossible and brought his team back from the brink of defeat. This week, the Colts have a chance to win their ninth game of the year. Here's what to watch for as they take on the Titans.
1. Watch for jealousy. The Titans and Colts both feature young quarterbacks. The Andrew Luck-Jake Locker matchup could well end up defining the next 10 years of the AFC South. Locker could end up being a very good player, but there's no question that Luck has already zipped right past him. Indy and Tennessee have something of a dormant rivalry and these two young players could help revive it. Good thing for the Colts, the Titans and their fans would probably swap signal callers in a heart beat.
2. Watch the new emphasis. Jared Cook had four catches in 15 targets against the Texans. After months of complaining about Chris Palmer's offense, Cook was the primary focal point once Palmer was deposed. Indy is last in the NFL at defending tight ends, so how they handle Cook and how effective Jake Locker is at hitting him will go a long way toward determining who wins.
3. Watch for turnovers. The Colts are on pace to break the NFL record for fewest forced turnovers in a season. The Titans have turned it over 13 times in their last four games. Something has to give. If the Colts can't pry the ball loose from Tennessee, they will likely end up holding a dubious record.
4. Watch for the fab freshmen. Andrew Luck, T.Y. Hilton and Dwayne Allen have had outstanding rookie campaigns which is a major reason the Colts can even sniff the playoffs. Hilton and Allen are approaching team rookie receiving records while Luck already bested Peyton Manning's record of most 300 yard games. What's absolutely frightening is that Luck is also on track to shatter Cam Newton's rookie passing record by nearly 700 yards. Look for the combo of Luck and either Hilton or Allen to make a big dent in the Titans defense.
5. Watch the empty catches. Kendall Wright leads NFL rookies in receptions, but is averaging less than 10 yards a catch. His DVOA is near the bottom of the league. A lot of that is just how the Titans use him, but if I'm picking an all-rookie team, I'll take T.Y. Hilton over Wright all day. Hilton has more yards, touchdowns and a much better YPR.
6. Watch the maroon zone. It's been a problem all year for the Colts, but once the field constricts, the vertical nature of the offense loses it's bite. Indy is among the best teams in the league at moving the ball, but scores at a mediocre rate. Part of the issue is their inability to run ball. It affects them more as the field compresses. With Delone Carter getting extra carries this week, keep an eye on the tough yards near the goal line.
7. Watch for humility. Andrew Luck has essentially willed this team back into many games after being gifted a chance by some miraculous special teams and defensive plays. Last week he played poorly, very poorly until it counted. After the game he swallowed his pride and thanked his teammates for giving him one more chance. That kind of humility has made this his team. They trust the kid when the chips are down and it's paid off in spades. If this is a close one, and I think it will be, this team truly believes Luck is going to take care of business.
8. Watch for the spirit of Tony Dungy. This isn't Tony Dungy's team, it's Chuck Pagano's team but still you see the echoes of what Dungy built. Interim head coach Bruce Arians specifically said the words, "Next man up," in his post-game conference. You see this team making no excuses, giving no explanations but instead setting expectations and executing. They are short on talent and big on heart–something Dungy made a career of in both Tampa and Indianapolis. As this team approaches an unlikely postseason appearance they appear to be strongly grounded in a way of which Coach Dungy would be and likely is proud.
9. Watch for what could have been. Stop and think about how close Peyton Manning was to going to the Titans. Can you even imagine it? The Colts would likely be 7-5. The Titans would be somewhere close to 10-2. Manning in two-tone blue coming back to the Luke. It makes me shudder. As much as people made fun of Bud Adams' mad dash to secure the services of Manning, can you really blame him? That move alone would have made the Titans instant contenders.
10. Watch for a really funny joke. So two Titans walked into a bar, and uh, ouch. It's insanely hard to come up with jokes about Nashville or the Titans. As Zach Law said, the Titans are "the most boring team in the NFL". Yes, Bud Adams is amusing, but when Jeff Fisher left town, most of my fodder for jokes left with him. I mean you try and tell a laugher about Mike Munchak (Munchak? I hardly know her?). The best I can come up with is a weak Little Shop of Horrors reference, but that would feel slightly racist toward Eastern Europeans (Is that a thing? Can you be racist toward Eastern Europeans specifically?)
11. Watch for the home crowd. Earlier this year there was talk of possible blackouts. No one should doubt the fans in Indianapolis nor this team after this remarkable season. With shades of 1995 when a seriously understaffed Colts team came within one play of the Super Bowl, this team resonates with fans in a way that is visceral. It was easy to root for Peyton Manning but Jim Harbaugh or his scrappy rookie protege? Hoosiers like underdogs, the working man, those that earn everything. They loved Jim Harbaugh for his mettle and drive, the same characteristics that Andrew Luck has used to will this team to the brink of the playoffs. This team of unknowns, rookies and castoffs has become one of my favorites of all-time and from the way the crowd supports them it appears I'm not alone. The crowd and their love for this team will make a difference in this one.
12. Watch for more happy Sundays than sad. The Colts will win Sunday and secure their 17th winning season since coming to Indianapolis. Throw in a pair of 8-8s along the way and that's 19 seasons of 28 that the home town team left us happy at least as often as sad. That's special. Colts 20 Titans 14.
