The Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School (LMACS) is a public high school that targets at-risk adolescents who have officially dropped out of high school or who are seriously at risk of doing so. Upon graduation, each student will have a high school diploma, clearly demonstrated set of academic skills and a clear awareness of the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens.
To be eligible for admission, applicants must be between the ages of 16 & 21 and a Massachusetts resident. LMACS accepts students three times a year: August, November and March. Students wishing to enroll at LMACS need to complete an application and submit a complete school transcript. Students are admitted to LMACS on a first-come, first-served basis.
The year (my daughter) spent at LMACS was the turning point in her young life. You believed in her and treated her like an adult. Thank you for allowing her a second chance at life.
"We have so much gratitude for all that you have taught our son...you made him feel worthy of himself."
Looking to earn your high school diploma?
Are you out of school, between 16 and 21 and looking to earn your diploma? It's not too late to enroll! Fill out an application or email LMACS to get started.
Notice of Destruction of Special Education Records for the Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School
Attention Parents/Guardians, Former Students, Eligible (Adult) Students:
Special Education records which have been collected by the Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School (LMACS) to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of Special Education must be maintained under state and federal laws for a period of seven years after Special Education services have ended for the student. Special Education services end when the student no longer is eligible for services, graduates, completes his or her educational program at age 22, or moves from the district.
"Graduation a Proud Day"
"LMACS is truly a school like no other. It's a place for second chances," said student Melissa Santos.
"Before I attended LMACS I was just trying to get by and had little motivation to come to school," she added. "Since being at LMACS I've grown in ways that I could never imagined. It may sound cliche, but it's the honest truth."
Her time at the school, she said, and the support of her classmates and teachers, had completely changed her outlook on the future.

Worked for my son's eczema!
Posted by Reviewer2731613 on Jun 12, 2014
My son was suffering with terrible eczema. His face, chest and back were covered with red itchy rash and he always scratched his skin. It was so hard for me to look at my son was feeling uncomfortable because of his skin condition. But thanks to this product, my son's skin has gotten much better! Nobody would believe that he used to have eczema! I'm so happy that we don't have to use steroid ointment anymore from our dermatologist. Also, Aveeno, Active Naturals, Eczema Therapy, Moisturizing Cream worked for my son't eczema too. I highly recommend these two products if your children have eczema!
Wonderful for eczema

I've been putting this all over my face overnight, and it's the only thing I've found that moisturises well enough to stop the dryness and flakiness that comes with eczema, without breaking me out! Absolute lifesaver!

Money mensch: Don't be afraid to take on the banks
Complain about ISA transfers, bank charges or payment protection insurance and your bank will probably tell you to naff off. Yet do not be discouraged. You can go to the Financial Ombudsman, and it is there that you can expect fair treatment and compensation.
Be under no illusions: financial institutions think in purely commercial terms. Their job is to retain their cash, so when you ask for it, they are going to say no. A recent report revealed some financial firms turned down almost all Payment Protection Insurance complaints, even though when their customers took them to the Ombudsman, every one was awarded in the complainant's favour. Yet how many rejected customers had the gumption to take it further? For the companies, this strategy of deliberately testing people's determination and patience is highly profitable.
What is the Financial Ombudsman?
The big difference with the Financial Ombudsman is that it is genuinely there to be impartial and has a duty to ensure customers are treated fairly.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is an independent body, established by Parliament in 2001, for settling disputes between UK-based financial companies and their customers and, best of all, it's completely free.
It has the legal power to adjudicate on individuals' or small businesses' complaints. Regulations state that financial companies must "treat customers fairly" and, if not, the FOS is there to provide a way to fight back.
And there is no negative outcome — you cannot be awarded against. The worst that can happen is that the Ombudsman says you have no case.
How does it operate?
The Ombudsman's primary role is in settling disputes between customers and financial companies. It has the power to carry out investigations but it often solves the problem without the need for one.
The process works like this:
● You fill in a form and it puts your case to the company. It then asks the company what happened and to solve the problem or pay the requested compensation. At this point companies can, and quite commonly do, just agree. It's simpler than going through a full blown dispute, so if you are lucky they will just roll over and pay out.
● If there is no agreement, the Ombudsman may carry out a formal investigation. It can do this either eight weeks after the initial complaint letter to your bank, or sooner if you have received a final response.
Using the Ombudsman is in many cases cheaper and safer than trying to get resolution via the courts. While you will not get an instant judgment and there is no guarantee you will win, tens of thousands of people every year do.
What can the Ombudsman decide on?
Its range is huge: it covers not just regulated financial activity but also oversees the general operations of a financial company to make sure it is treating you fairly. As well as being a focal point for some of the major issues like bank charges, loan insurance or endowment mis-selling, you can also complain about almost anything to do with bank accounts, credit cards, insurance, pensions, mortgages, loans, savings accounts or investments.
More importantly, unlike the courts which have to rely on whether the company has broken a law, a big advantage of the Ombudsman is that it also follows the regulator's "treating customers fairly" rules. This means making sure you've been dealt with appropriately, not just legally, is crucial.
And if you are not sure, put your complaint in anyway; the worst thing that can happen is the Ombudsman tells you it can't adjudicate, so you have lost the price of a stamp.
How do I complain to the Financial Ombudsman?
● First, complain directly to the company. You cannot just go to the Ombudsman, it will always want to have seen proof that you tried to settle with the company first.
● You can go to the Ombudsman either if the bank directs you there or you have waited eight weeks. To start your complaint, you just need to contact the Ombudsman and ask it to take on your case either via the FOS website or call 020 7964 0500.
● You will need to fill in and post back a copy of its complaint form to explain your case and so that it has a copy of your signature. Try to make sure the essence of the complaint, and the remedy you want, is stated in the first line.
● Charge the company for the time and hassle it has caused. The Ombudsman can make an allowance of around £50-£100 a day and not more than £10 per hour for the time you have spent trying to put things right. This is official recognition that the time spent to rectify a situation is worth something.
● You can win. It has been estimated that reclaims made through my website alone for all categories of financial injustice could add up to £1bn. This is big money, so it is no surprise you will be in a battle with companies to get it. Yet ultimately we are in the midst of a revolution and the balance of power is shifting. It is no longer perceived that the big institutions are always right, so if you think you have been wronged, sit up, take note and take 'em on.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Job87 from Just O.K. I'm a bit unhappy with this letterhead. The feel of the paper is cheap. It just doesn't come off professional enough. The paper I use to write my own scripts on is thicker than the one I received for this product. Plus, the fonts and coloring on this letterhead looks a bit cheesy as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyce312 from Superb! Our letterhead came out perfect! The colors are spot on! Ordering was very easy - especially since I already had my artwork done. I think the hard part would be if I had to choose from all the selections!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyce312 from Satisfied The second page of our letterhead stationery has a "watermark" and came out really well if only slightly off-center. Most people would not notice but I tend to be a perfectionist. I had done my own artwork instead of using stock.

Rated 1 out of 5 by sara1015 from poor quality I ordered 15 ( to get a feel and review ) and I was not happy with the paper quality, the ink type nor the font colors. The paper is very cheap in look and feel. There was also an error ( period (.) that was carried over to next line - looks a DOT in middle of page.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bret in Cincy from Bad Color Our company has been using Vista prints for years for our printed needs. Recently everything we have ordered the color seems to be less saturated than it used to be. Its the same file, we just press reorder. Very dissapointing

Garden Tour & Munchie's Treehouse
Hiya! It's definitely summer in our corner of the world and, oddly, I'm loving it. Really is strange considering I'm forever wishing for rain and cool weather. But the sun feels good and I'm ready to relax with Munchie all summer. Doing a whole lotta nothing. Sleeping in a bit, taking long walks and bike rides after breakfast, painting, reading, swimming, lounging, baking…ahhhh. This gal is ready.
This video is a great way to kick off summer on my blog. A few people have asked about Munchie's treehouse at my inlaws' place so here's some footage of it, plus a tour around my dad-in-law's amazing garden. Maybe I'll have a little garden update in a few weeks when everything is in bloom and it's bursting with fruits and veggies. Enjoy and happy summer! ♥

Belief Quotes and Sayings
Everything is easy, when you believe it is.
How can I BELIEVE if in the middle of BELIEVE was the word LIE.
Any belief that cannot be defended by logic, proof or evidence is protected by hurting feelings and if needed expressed by violence.
– Javed Akhtar
A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things.
– Thomas Carlyle
Just as no one can be forced into belief, so no one can be forced into unbelief.
– Sigmund Freud
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
– Sigmund Freud
A belief is not nearly an idea that the mind possesses, it is an idea that possesses the mind.
– Robert Oxton Bolton
Belief is involuntary; nothing involuntary is meritorious or reprehensible. A man ought not to be considered worse or better for his belief.
– Percy Bysshe Shelley
The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
– Frank Lloyd Wright
To succeed in life and achieve results, you must understand and master three mighty forces— desire, belief, and expectation.

I believe that religion is the belief in future life and in God. I don't believe in either. I don't believe in God as I don't believe in Mother Goose.
— Clarence Darrow
Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely soley upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.
— Christopher Hitchens
It is ok to doubt what you have been taught to believe.
A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is superstition.

The walk has an altitude gain of 1000m and is therefore only suitable for experienced mountain walkers.

WHAT KEEPS bands craving and competing to be part of the Vans Warped Tour - the caravan of contemporary music celebrating its 20th annual tour-stop today at the Susquehanna Bank Center, in Camden?
Nearly 100 bands (!) will be playing on 10 different stages, for a crowd of "somewhere between 10- and 15,000," guesstimated Jess Bowen, drummer for the Summer Set, a Warped third timer. With ticket prices kept low ($45 at the gate), "nobody's getting rich on this tour," she added, with a laugh.
Just getting showgoers motivated to find your band and hang out for your set can be an interesting challenge, given the level of competition and manifest distractions, shared five-time Vans participant Derek Sanders, front man for Mayday Parade.

Keep The Peace This Thanksgiving
Ok, lets all just admit it -- sometimes when you get a whole group of people together who only see each other a few times a year, family or not, there can be some...
Ok, lets all just admit it -- sometimes when you get a whole group of people together who only see each other a few times a year, family or not, there can be some...
When the family is done eating the turkey and the pie, there's only one thing on many people's minds: Black Friday – the official start to the holiday shopping season. As a retail employee, I consider this day to be a fate worse than hell.
I proudly admit it...I am a "country boy"...and I THOUGHT I was married to a "country girl! I watched this YouTube video and quickly showed it to my wife. She just as quickly asked me, "are you out of your mind?". So what's the problem with cooking our Thanksgiving turkey, albeit, a little different this year? We won't have a mess in the oven. You'll have more room to cook other things. Well OK, we'll have a hole in the backyard.
...and is that the right spelling?
Who knows.
But here's footage of the official unveiling (at 10 a.m...) of my most recent delicacy. It's Turk-Cake Day somewhere...
As I've mentioned, I love to cook. I also love to put fun spins on tradition. Enter: The Turk-Cake. The idea came to me in a half-asleep haze: Make a layer cake out of traditional Thanksgiving flavors...
You know how it used to be. You'd spend Black Friday Eve in your car or standing in line outside the store with the best deals. Now you've got to leave the dirty dishes in the sink, so you can be at the stores at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving night. Sounds more exciting, doesn't it? Maybe there'll be huge bargains. Well, maybe.
Thanksgiving is a time for the family to come together, tell stories, then sit down and feast on some tasty, belly-expanding deliciousness. Turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie are all Thanksgiving staples, but if you want to really spice things up a bit this year, we have some ideas.
There is still time to find a few holiday travel deals before Thanksgiving weekend. However, with last-minute flights costing as much as $200 more than those booked in advance, it's hard to say just how good those deals will be.
If 40 is the new 30, and red is the new black, is Thanksgiving the new Black Friday?
This morning's discussion struck a major nerve with you: many major retail stores are foregoing the usual midnight- or 6am-opening on Black Friday, and going with 8pm, even 6pm ON Thanksgiving to start their "door busting sales". W...
The price of Thanksgiving is going up this year, but not as much as you might think.
There is hardly any such thing as Black Friday anymore. With numerous retailers, like Walmart, opening their doors to holiday bargain addicts as early as 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, other retailers must now either join the circus or risk missing out on frantic buyers with turkey hangovers and itchy spending fingers.
Black Friday may not be able to keep its name much longer. This holiday season, Walmart plans to get the shopping madness started a bit earlier than in times past—on Thursday. Or as most of us call it, Thanksgiving.

Jennifer Garner Sports Red Sox Playoff Beards
Source: Pat Bradley, NESN
It?s officially not weird to be attracted to a woman with a beard, thanks to Jennifer Garner.
Of course, Garner is married to diehard Red Sox junkie and fellow Hollywood star Ben Affleck.
Garner goes on to elaborate the types of very funny, yet incredibly familiar superstitions Affleck uses to try to aide his Red Sox, such as rally caps, eating a hot dog at the same point of a game and not letting friends come back to games if the hometown heroes lose. One Hollywood (fictional) couple ? Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore ? have already run across the field when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004.
Should the bearded bunch manage to pull off another title in either Game 6 or 7, don?t be surprised to see Garner and Affleck doing much of the same.

Car Photography with Marc Trautmann
They are beautiful, expensive, symbol of luxury; aren't they really? I am talking about magnificence automotive cars, only a certain amount of people will ever be able to afford one of those. Actually, if we think just a little deeper, what's so definitive about these "exotic cars", I mean we can take any cars and strap the logo and make it our own right? Actually no, there's a reason why these cars are so pricey. I would say the quality and durability of shorts is the reasons why you would want to get a luxury car. The marketing of the brand is also another factor that contributes to the finesse of it all, through this process we'll have photography work done too. Let's take a closer look at the work from Marc Trautmann Since 1993, Freelance photographer with a focus on automotive and people. About Marc Trautmann Marc is a photographer based in Frankfurt, Germany. Working mainly in photography and digital photography, Marc had the opportunity to work with car brands like: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, Porsche, Jaguar and more.

Traveling Cars Adventures by Kim Leuenberger
I found Kim's work on Instagram and was instantly hooked to her Traveling Cars Adventures series. As she says at her website, the series shows her little toy cars in dramatic situations. And I gotta say it is hard for you not to fall in love with her toy cars and embark on their journey. Kim is currently lives in London where she is studying Photography at the University of the Arts London. Her pictures are delicate and inspiring. You can totally put together a whole background story for her little cars. I'm a total fan of her pics and I had to share them here with you. Take a look! My name is Kim Leuenberger, I was born in 1992 in the North West of Switzerland in a region called Jura. As the regions is quite small and lost in between two chains of mountains, I started to travel a lot around Europe, hungry to discover more of the world and be a real explorer. I always liked photography and started it at a very young age, however I only owned my own dslr for my nineteenth Birthday. It has been love at first sight with a little nikon d3100. Almost 2 years I've upgraded to a Canon 5d mark iii and learned all I know about photography by myself, by reading magazines or websites. I now use a range of different cameras to capture the car series, with an Olympus EM5 mkII and sometimes a LeicaQ. I love being creative with my photography as well as documenting the life around me. I love making objects and tell a story through my pictures, music is my biggest inspiration, I named many of my pictures after songs of my favorite artists (Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard, etc..) And don't forget, we are all explorers of this beautiful world!

Bonneville Speed Week Photography
There's nothing better than starting the week off with some inspiring photos from old cars modified to cross the desert at massive speed. It sounds like the plot for a new Mad Max movie and the work that Christopher Wilson shared on his Behance profile titled Bonneville Speed Week could definitely be a part of the movie series. The images are quite stunning, especially the mood evoked and the more I get myself into photography more I'm inspired by beautiful photography work. For more information about Christopher make sure to check out this work at http://www.christopherwilsonphotography.com/ Part of a campaign of imagery documenting Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Transformation Car Design Project
Olivier Gamiette is a self-taught designer from Paris, France. With the main interest of bringing new exciting ideas to life Olivier today works for Peugeot as Senior Designer in Paris. In this project he showed us how he rendered children's sketches into incredible car designs. It's awesome to see the evolution of the basic sketches to the final result and how much of the basic concept kept unchanged. Oliview brought six children's car sketches to life by rendering them as a prize for the 'Draw Me The Car of 2020' design competition, launched in collaboration with the french children's magazine Okapi.The six 9-14 year old winners – Clement, Thomas, Tom, Lena, Leo and Gaspard – were able to see their dream cars realized with my personal photoshop rendering method. I presented the first placed winner, Clément, with a 270mm by 140mm model of his design at an awards ceremony held at the cPeugeot's design center in Velizy, France. I shared with the young winners my thoughts and inspiration behind their designs. . It was totally amazing and so magical for them to discover their sketch reinterpreted in a realistic rendering drawing. They were very proud and some of them already know they would like to become car designers .. Details For more information visit: http://www.behance.net/gamiette

Retro F1 Liveries into Current Cars

Hot Rods in HDR
Today I was reading about HDR and decided to get some inspiration on the subject. I am a super fan of HDR photos and we've been posting about it since the very first year of the blog. It's incredible to see how popular HDR has become and I'm still amazed by the visual style this technique can give to photos. Atomicpixal demonstrates this beautifully with some HDR photos of cars that look like legit illustrations of hot rods. I have been a Freelance Photographer for a very long time. I enjoy post processing images as well as taking them. I moved to Menifee two years ago from Oceanside and I love the area. I also collect antique cameras. I am an old darkroom photographer that has been converted to the digital world. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Car Design Photography: McLaren MP4-12C by Thomas Moeller
I grew up watching F-1 races on the weekends, my favorite driver was Ayrton Senna and he used to be part of the McLaren team back in the day. I remember that one of my favorite things to do in school was to draw his F1 racing cars. I also remember when McLaren announced their first car and since then they've been pushing the limits of card design. The new McLaren MP4-12C is a proof of that. This post tries to show not the car only but the work of Thomas Moeller who took this amazing photos. For the launch of the new website cars.mclaren.com we got the opportunity to spend 4 full days shooting the MP4-12C at the McLaren Product Centre in Woking, England. We also spent time across the McLaren Technology Centre, shots the new McLaren P1, and long quiet evenings exploring and experiencing the amazing space that these cars are produced in. We aimed to bring a much more luxurious, artistic, and elegant feeling to the shoot and get creative within the constraints and limitations of the space. Thomas Moeller is a London-based Creative Director with over 15 years experience across US, UK, European and other international markets - currently Creative Director at SapientNitro London, the world's largest integrated marketing & technology firm.

Classic Porsche 550 by Additive Studios
Icons embody certain qualities that represent something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, from a bottle of Coca Cola, the red tab on a pair of Levi's to the smooth lines and timeless headlights of a Porsche. Today on Abduzeedo we bring you a stunning gallery featuring a vintage 3D render of a Porsche 550 Spider. This beautiful icon has maintained its longevity and design integrity over the years, evolving ever so slightly to deliver each new generation the Porsche it dreamed. I grew up in Brazil driving around in my dad's VW Beetle born from the same designer, Ferdinand Porsche, and have always had an obsession with the design of this car. One day I'll own one but for now I can only post about my dream car and channel my inner Hank Moody. - "If you analyse the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious." - Ferdinand Alexander Porsche When you spend all that time creating one really detailed 3d model, it only seemed logical to create a series. This time we wanted to explore closeups and use depth of field and bokeh effects - additive studios About Additive Studios Additive is a post-production studio based in London, Comprising two talented CG artists / retouchers (Matt and Pete) with over 20 years' experience between them (Saddington & Baynes, Um CGI and Solid), you benefit from tightly costed estimates (no flashy offices or leggy secretaries, sorry) and the undivided attention of the two key people. Of course we have the support of specialist friends when needed (character artists, animators, digital sculptors, etc) and are involved with all the most cutting edge medias including the latest Augmented Reality.

Beautiful 3D Cars by Jan Mokrzecki
When I was a kid I used to love to draw cars, from the iconic VW Beetle to Formula 1. I had so much fun, especially in school, where apparently, was the most inspiring and creative moment for me to zone out of the day's lesson and sketch. Nowadays we have a bevy of tools right at our fingertips and with computer and 3D software we can go that extra step and make really amazing car renderings in one fell swoop. The idea of this post is to feature some really cool 3D cars created by Jan Mokrzecki, an extremely talented digital artist from Poland with a great portfolio of beautiful car renderings. Bentley Mulsanne Jaguar D-Type Longnose 1954 Shelby Cobra 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500 Eleanor Plymouth GTX 1970 Dodge Charger 1971 Hummer H1 2004 For more information about Jan Mokrzecki visit http://www.behance.net/janmokrzecki

Inspiring Chrome Car Logos
The chrome of car logos has always inspired a lot of people especially designers and car lovers.

Bazaar-o World: Extraordinary SLS Hotel/José Andrés Restaurant Is Going Global
Being a Washington, DC, local, I can't help but fall in love with the cuisine of José Andrés, the James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur. He has pioneered the field of molecular gastronomy by cleverly manipulating texture to subvert our expectations. For instance, at his signature DC restaurant, Minibar, instead of a salt-lined margarita glass, you can expect an aerated salty sea-foam floating above your drink. His visionary view of food's potential to surprise and entice has inspired a new direction in the culinary arts.
So when I heard that his SLS Hotel restaurant in Los Angeles, the Bazaar, is thinking of going global with its brand, I practically jumped out of my chair in anticipation. José Andrés is already slated to open another establishment at the upcoming SLS Hotel in South Beach, Florida, and Robbie McKay, Director of Communications for SBE, the luxury hospitality group who owns the Bazaar, says that they have their eye on the DC market as a possible next location. Keep an eye out on this one folks. This is a hotel restaurant that is far more than the standard luxury fare.
For now, you can only dine at the Bazaar at the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills. It's well worth the trip.

RAP NEWS episode 10: The year we've all been waiting for – 2012AD (or 126.96.36.199.0, if you ask a Mayan) – is finally here. What will happen? Will we see the poles shift or a paradigm shift? Will a rogue Sumerian planet smash into our solar system, plunging us into serfdom under the iron fist of a race of gold-hungry aliens? Or are the aliens already here? Or are all these merely humanity's collective projections of itself as it careens towards an ever-accelerating super-connected cyber-reality – whatever that means… One thing's sure, if 2011 was a prelude of things to come, 2012 is going to be one hell of a year. Now that it has arrived, are we ready? Your host Robert Foster and his guests, Terrence Moonseed and General Baxter, conduct an in-depth rap analysis into the future, and humanity's place in it.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
UPDATE: The concerned citizens of Vidor are offering a $5000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the two men who robbed Cindy's Bridal Shop and assaulted Johnnie Andrus and her assistant Kari Milligan.
Original story:
Two women working at a bridal shop in Vidor were assaulted Wednesday evening, March 12, at about 5:49 p.m. when two men entered the business, attacked the women and stole jewelry before one of the women was able to escape and call for help.
An Orange resident running for chair of the Orange County Republican Party was arrested at a polling facility Feb. 18 after he reportedly assaulted a poll worker with whom he was arguing, Vidor Police report.
A fight at a Port Arthur pool hall Monday night, July 1, left one person in critical condition with a head injury, police reported.
A student reportedly injured a West Orange-Stark Middle School teacher during an altercation at the school on May 8, according to a report from the Orange Police Department (OPD).
One woman was arrested in Orange after reportedly attacking two people while she was wearing a pink, polka-dot bikini.
Police in Orange responded to a call from Little Cypress Jr. High School Monday afternoon, March 4, in reference to a student's assault of a teacher there.
At approximately 2 p.m., Officer Joshua Dempsey reported he responded to the call and met with the principal of the school, Mitzi Conn. Conn told the officer a student at the campus assaulted another student during a sixth-grade science class. During the altercation, the attacking student reportedly shoved the instructor into her desk.
According to information from the Orange Police Department, on Wednesday, April 6, an arrest warrant was obtained for the suspect in the April 5 attempted murder case of 51-year-old Sylvia Vaughns.
Vaughns, who was transported to UTMB in Galveston by helicopter due to the severity of her injuries, was still recovering in the island hospital at press time and investigators say they are searching for the victim's grandson as the aggressor responsible for her life threatening injuries.
On Friday, Nov. 5, around 3:30 a.m. Beaumont police officers responded to the intersection of South 11th Street and Hollywood in reference to a shooting. When officers arrived, they found two men, a 25 and 26 year old both from Beaumont, suffering from gun shot wounds and had them transported by EMS to St. Elizabeth Hospital. The 25 year old was taken into surgery. The 26-year-old man died at the hospital and was identified as Damon Terrell Walker.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

September 2016
March is National Nutrition Month
To develop an overall healthy eating plan, we must be able to enjoy the sight, sounds, memories and interactions associated with eating.
Source: National Nutrition Month http://www.eatright.org/resource/food/resources/national-nutrition-month/national-nutrition-month Accessed 3/14/2016
November 29 - December 5, 2015 is National Hand Washing Week
National Hand Washing Week falls right in the middle of the holiday season, a time when family and friends come together to share a meal. The last gift you want to offer is the "gift"of food poisoning.To keep your loved ones safe and healthy, the first step in your meal preparation should be to wash your hands.
Hand washing Techniques
Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizer is only appropriate if you do not have access to soap and clean running water. If you have to use sanitizer, make sure that it is made of at least 60% alcohol. Apply it all over the front and back of your hands, and allow your hands to dry before touching another surface. Hand sanitizer is not recommended if your hands are visibly dirty.
Nail Hygiene
With just a few easy steps the healthiest gift you will offering your family is the gift of a healthy holiday meal. Happy Hand Washing!
Managing Diabetes through the Holidays
November is American Diabetes Month, a month committed to raising awareness for pre-diabetics and the disease itself. November also means the holidays are fast approaching. The holidays are a time to spend with family and friends. Having diabetes and managing it during this time can be difficult because the focus is primarily on food. With the right mindset, and some planning, the holidays can be a wonderful time to enjoy healthy and delicious foods while staying on track to keep diabetes under control.
How to measure portions at the dinner table (everyone at the table can use these tips):
The holidays should be both a happy and healthy experience. The tips above offer guidance to allow diabetics to understand the importance of managing blood sugar while enjoying the experience of a special time of year. Planning, portion control, and mindfulness will make the holidays a little bit tastier.
The Key to Family Health
October is National Family Health Month. The Key to family health is bringing families together and building connections and traditions that last a lifetime.
Do you feel like you spend more time away from your family working hard to improve your quality of life? Don't let all your hard work get in the way of spending quality time with your family. A healthy family is a happy family!
Healthy Eating
Making healthy food choices for your family doesn't mean it has to be dreary. Healthy eating can include a variety of foods, and we know the best foods are the ones prepared and eaten with loved ones.
Recommendations for toppings include: Choose at least one from each category for a balanced meal.
Family meals allow parents to be role models while creating a healthy environment for kids. Now that you've got everyone involved in meal preparation, it's a great time to communicate and talk to your kids about their day while sitting around the table to eat together. This allows family members to stay engaged and involved in what's happening while being away all day. It's also a healthy way of making all members of the family feel included and important. Communication involves active listening and asking open-ended questions, or starting an open-ended conversation. Try not to ask questions that will require a simple "yes" or "no" answer. Here are some tips for starting conversations with your kids:
After sharing dinner with your family, make it a routine to get up and be active together. Being active can help you decrease stress and improve mood and behaviors. It also helps keep your heart healthy and in shape, which can decrease the risk of heart disease and several other health conditions. It can also help manage diseases you might already have. All it takes is at least 30 minutes a day. Being active together with your family can motivate and encourage you to help each other be healthy and stay healthy.

Skip to comments.Hollywood Puts the Squeeze on Talent (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch)
Posted on 11/06/2006 4:03:24 AM PST by abb
On a recent trip to New York City, Russell Crowe was asked by reporters why he had dropped out of negotiations to star in a new movie being directed by Baz Luhrmann and produced by 20th Century Fox.
The Academy Award winner, never one to mince words, suggested it was, in part, the money. I do charity work, but I dont do charity work for major studios, Mr. Crowe said.
It seems the needy are not the only ones in Hollywood with their hands out. Movie and television studios, facing escalating budgets, rampant piracy and the uncertain future of new media, are demanding concessions from talent. But as actors, directors and writers feel the squeeze, many are not happy about it.
Worse, the tension is not likely to ease soon. As studios are set to begin contract negotiations with talent in January, all sides are girding for battle.
Hollywood is in the midst of a strategic shift. The average cost to make and market a movie has skyrocketed to $96.2 million last year, from $54.1 million in 1995 while lucrative DVD sales have flattened. Major film studios are fending off illegal piracy, which industry executives say accounted for $1.3 billion in lost revenue in the United States last year.
The growth of new media threatens to undermine traditional businesses, while studios are flummoxed about how to take advantage of the new opportunities they represent. And movies and TV also face tough new competition from video games and online social networking sites. Even cellphones have become a favorite diversion among the young.
As in so many other show business debates, money and control are at the heart of the matter. And without solutions to these problems in sight, relations between talent and the studios are more strained than ever.

LOL! Good one!
Most of the movies and the talent are NOT worth the cost.
And, on top of that, many of the movies, tv, etc. have a political agenda. This is NOT entertaining.
Additionally, the talent mostly high school drop outs or high school grads feel the need to express their political opinions by using pre-scripted statements to support the liberals' positions. Thus, turning the majority of traditional Americans off to their movies, music, etc. And, if said STAR endorses a product for a corporation, that corporation's sales are adversely affected.
I have seen a lot of Hollywood propaganda films from WWII. They all supported the war. No one doubts that the current efforts are for undermining the America that bought these illiterates their mansions, their duds, and their alimony money. Talent? I have not seen much on display.
I thought they were all members of the Film Actors Guild.
Many actors are surely overpaid, but IMo the most overpaid person on this planet is Katie Couric. Give me a week and I could train most any High School graduate who can read to do her job and I will throw in insults to the Bush Administration for free if its required.
Wholesome, family oriented movies, some well-done westerns where the good guy gets the girl at the end of the film, war pictures that showcase and praise our fine military of today....a few suggestions off the top of my head for Hollywood studios to consider.
Oh, and musicals. Find some dancers to dance and entertain like Astair and Rodgers. No smut, no bad lyrics.
As far as talent, it's been seriously lacking overall in the movie industry for decades.
Today in San Francisco the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an edict allowing only Democrats to vote on both the day before and the day after an election. The justices decided in a unanimous vote that Democrats were being disenfranchised by not receiving enough votes to win their respective races, and must be given extra votes to cover the disparity.
Said one Justice, "the Republicans have suppressed the minority votes long enough, something needed to be done and we did it."
No-talent on display, courtesy of the SAG.
For instance, there are at least 80-90 "Star Wars" novels out there. Many take place in the past, some in the future (of the current S.W. timeline). If they want to put them on film, they will need to bring in "another" Han solo. But, a better choice will be to CGI him. Digitally re-create him and use the CGI. No more egos. No more salaries. No more jumping on Oprah's couch.
Actors have not even caught on yet that they are an endangered species.
Notice how many more "cartoon" movies are out there?? Used to be 1 or 2 a year. Now, nearly every month, there is something new that is pure digital.
I am looking forward to it!
Chicago was full of nasty characters. Zeta Jones could not dance worth a hoot. The lyrics were achingly repetitive: see right through me, see right through me, the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
Music Man - fabulous talent from the stars to the minor characters. Great music. A good plot. Lyrics that made sense. Humor. Great insights about the Midwest.
Which explains why actors and actresses might want to seriously consider a college degree first. Look at Meryl Streep--we definitely may not agree with her politics but her training in college (Vassar College undergraduate, Yale University graduate) for Drama made her not only a two-time Oscar winner (and 13-time nominee), but also a winner of many other awards, too. And you wonder why she's still getting acting job offers from both movies and theater even now....
Please, Monica L. was in that at her high school.
They call those songs novelty songs, like How Much Is That Doggie in the Window. Perry Como said his novelty songs sold much better than his serious ones. And he could sing.
They can take their movies and shove 'em where the sun don't...
Actually the digital is probably going to trend down. CG movies haven't made as much money this year as in the past, they've over saturated the market. And as for CG replacing actors not until CG becomes much much faster, full CG takes a lot longer than live action, and with all that time of expensive programmers and animators the CG films are actually one of the big driving factors to the cost of a movie going up (Monster House was the cheapest CG movie this year at 75 mil). CG is probably going to roll back as fewer of these movies are paying for themselves, even CG special effects are probably going to be rolling back.
What's going to happen is the guys like Kevin Smith who can bring in a movie for 6 mil that makes 30 mil in domestic are going to gain more power in Hollywood. The cost conscious directors will be the ones that studios seek, while to Coppolas and Lucases struggle for funding. And the actors will learn to follow, as the cheaper directors usually have shorter shooting schedules, geting paid less is more acceptable when they spend less time on set.
"Chicago" was completely over-rated. In every respect.
We had the same problem all summer long. They hardly made a decent movie last year and there is so many "stars" I refuse to support it really narrows the field. Like the newsroom editors, Hollywood doesn't get the reason they are all going into the toilet.

Shall we take a moment here to appreciate the beauty of makeup from the other side of the pond? I'm pretty sure I heard angels singing when I unwrapped these beauties. You'll have heard me talk about Daphne a lot here, but actually, she's one part of a trio, it's just the other part lives over-the-seas in Canada, (where they drink the blood of trees). I am of course talking about the one and only Vanessa (side note: if you haven't already you definitely need to check out Vanessa's blog, we don't call her the Queen of Blush for no reason! Plus her photography is just drool-worthy!). Now it was my birthday last month and Daphne's is approaching, and Vanessa very kindly sent us a joint birthday package of Canadian goodies.
First off, I should point out that Vanessa FAR too kindly included her Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer for me, since it's my favourite primer and she didn't get on with it, but Daphne is currently holding it hostage from me! This was so kind of her though, I'm getting to the end of mine and was dreading repurchasing! She also popped in the Urban Decay Anti Ageing Primer Potion, which I am looking forward to trying since I love the Original Primer Potion (I'm not too offended that it's anti-ageing either, since she's older!).
The Milani Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso has been on my wishlist for a really long time, so I was so excited to find it nestled in the package! And my my my, it didn't disappoint! The shade is like nothing else in my collection, it's a perfect peach shade with golden shimmer. It's probably the lightest blush I own but it's downright gorgeous and suits my skintone to a tee. The formula is fantastic too, I wore it all day yesterday and it was still perfect by bedtime. Not one for those who aren't a fan of shimmer, you definitely want to skip highlighter with this one!
I guess I should have expected lots of blush products from the Queen of Blush! I recently tried the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush and fell in love, so I was thrilled to get the Tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy. This is a totally unique product, I haven't ever tried or seen anything quite like this. It's kind of like a giant wind up stick cream blush, and the payoff is really sheer, meaning it's super easy to wear and very natural. I will report back when I've tried it out a bit more but so far, I love it!
One more blush, the Wet and Wild Colour Icon Blusher in Pearlescent Pink. I've never tried ANYTHING by Wet and Wild (I know, shock horror), so to see so much of the brand here! Anyway, this blush is a gorgeous warm pink with a hint of shimmer, the formula is soft and just pigmented enough (not so much that it's easy to go heavy handed, but enough that it won't take much to get the perfect blush). I can't wait to try this out properly! There was also a single eyeshadow, the Wet and Wild Colour Icon Eyeshadow in Brulee a matte cream shade, bound to come in handy since the only shades I have similar are nestled in giant palettes! The formula is, of course, infallible.
Onto the palettes then! First up the Walking on Eggshells Palette, is one I've lusted after for a while! There's a gorgeous shimmery cream highlight, a warm shimmery brown crease shade and a champagne shimmery shade for all over. Definitely a super wearable, everyday palette, that you can turn to when you want an eye look to rely on.
The brightest of the trio is the I'm Getting Sunburned Palette, home to a gorgeous pearlescent rose shade, a deep brown shimmering crease shade, and a gorgeous golden brown shade. I can't wait to try this palette, it's something a little brighter than I'm used to but still really quite wearable. Stay tuned!
And lastly, the palette that's stolen my heart, the Silent Treatment Palette, a pretty pink champagne shimmer, an almost-black brown somewhat reminiscent of Blackheart in the Naked 3 Palette, and the most perfect shimmering taupe I've ever seen. I can tell you now that I will use this palette to death! All these palettes have impeccable formulas, they wear really well and are still perfectly intact at the end of the day! So impressed!
I believe the culprit of the eye-watering delivery fee for Vanessa was the inclusion of the Peach Bellini Bath and Bodyworks Candle. *angels singing*. I have wanted to try a Bath and Bodyworks candle for like MY ENTIRE LIFE so I nearly cried when I saw this. Peach is my favourite scent in the world so it couldn't be more perfect. The scent throw of this candle is amazing, you don't even need to light it, and I think I'm in love!
Also in the package was an assortment of tea, and a couple of samples, I'll let you know how they turn out.
Basically, Vanessa is the best friend ever, if you're reading this, thank you and I love you!
