Hi Bellas,
I decided to do a little post on some items I'm really loving...some of them you may have seen me use in a video or two but I haven't dedicated a blog entry or entire video to them. I tried to pick products that aren't from brand new MAC collections since EVERYBODY is excited about them, lol.
First off…
Mario Badescu Drying Cream
I got the samples in the mail like everyone else. Some of them are okay, some are pretty good. In particular, I love the drying cream. I know everybody has already tried it but I'm just getting onto it. It comes in a 5 gram sample jar and I think that it will be enough to last me for months. You really don't need a lot. I probably use a drop the size of a pin head and place it directly on spots I want to cover. I usually don't break out, but for some reason I've recently gone through a period where I had more than usual. I had a bump on my nose which was a pimple that hadn't yet surfaced. I put the drying cream on there, and after two days it had disappeared. I never even saw the actual pimple because I got to the root first. On an actual pimple, I used the drying cream every night and morning and it went completely away after 3 days. I usually would leave it alone and it would take a week or more to disappear. I probably wouldn't order the entire jar of drying cream but I love the sample!
Oil of Olay Thermal Foot Scrub
Okay, I'll be first to admit that I've been slacking on my pedicures. I used to be on the ball but funnily enough everything took a back seat when makeup came back into my life. My skin isn't like it used to be – baby soft and no calluses. As the years progress I have to put some work into getting my feet presentable. In the past I've used the pumice stones and various scrubs but they all take a lot of work and time. This Oil of Olay stuff is the bomb. You dampen your feet and then massage the scrub in. I know it's called a Thermal scrub but I didn't expect it to heat up so much when it hit my foot, it was awesome! As I rubbed it in I really felt the dead skin sloughing off. It won an award for best drugstore product of the year in its category, now I understand why.
MAC Tendertones
I feel like this Collection was really slept on. Right now I only have two. I kind of want more but I'll just exercise some self-restraint on this one. In my purse I have Tread Gently, which is the lime/yellow colored one. I love it! The consistency is very emollient, almost like Rosebud Lip Salve. I like this better though because it smells like strawberry kiwi. It also has SPF 12 which is defintely a plus. When you put it on it comes off pretty sheer but makes your lips look like they glow and look really juicy because of the tint and little sparkle flecks. I've been going through some lip issues lately—my lips have been dryer than usual and they start to hurt if I don't have some kind of lip product on them. I prefer this since I can get as much product as I need and it's super moisturizing. I like the feeling of being able to rub my lips together and it being super emollient. I also keep Hush Hush, which is described as a sheer gold with yellow gold pearl, in my makeup drawer. If I actually wear makeup out, I'll put this on instead of lipstick or lipgloss because it has just enough color. Good stuff!
ELF Bronzer in Warm Tan
Okay, I know we all have mixed feelings about ELF products. A few months ago I order about $30 worth of products. I thought, hey, this would be great to build my kit! Unfortunately 90% of the items remain unused. What I did use was the clear lash and eyebrow gel and I kind of just threw the bronzers in my kit. There are only three shades or bronzers, and they're really skinny compacts that fit into my kit pretty well. I kind of neglected them for a while, but I gave them a second chance recently. The only problem is that when you dip your brush into it, a lot of product flakes off. You definitely have to tap excess off your brush and compact. I guess this is why it's a dollar. However, the color goes on really smooth and even. I like Warm Tan for my complexion, which is the darkest one. It really makes a great contour/bronzing color. I use it with my Coastal Scents Pink Deluxe Buffer Brush and the two are a match made in heaven. I make sure to only use a small amount of the bronzer so it doesn't look overdone. I'm actually wearing the bronzer in my Cool Heat and Solar Bits video. I would definitely re-buy this.

The Crossroads of the Aether
Views: 9740
Greetings my Sisters, Brothers, and Others,
I am Dr. Roland Cabal: practitioner and professor of the occult arts and techno-metaphysics. This form arose in the pagan woods of Ireland. After being "rescued" by a well-to-do Englishman, I was given the best education the dusty halls of an endless line of universities can reward. Professors seem to exhibit adverse temperaments towards a "child of the wilds" that can create fantastic devices of metal and magick, steam and sorcery, that put their own tinker toys to shame so it wasn't until I came to America that I was awarded the title of Doctor.(Doctorate of medieval metaphysics, earned in thirteen months at Miskatonic University) I then used half of an ample patronage, awarded to me by the Dean for a certain techno-metaphysical device to repel inquisitive wives, to secure travel to the town of Pittsburg where I reside currently. The other half, you ask? Lets just say that a number of my English tutors will be having a "blast" of a time when they open their post...
Sincerely Me,
Dr. Roland Cabal
My name is Jennifer Oaks. I came into steampunk through my friend Britt, otherwise known as Dr. Magdalena Pleasance Liddell (hope I spelled that right). I've toyed with a couple steampunk persona names, but haven't really stuck to one yet. Recently I've had a short story published in Steampunk Tales issue #13. It's entitled "The Flowers That Bloom South of the Rio Grande". I'm pretty excited because it's my first time being published and it's my first time writing steampunk fiction. If anyone's read it I'd like to hear from you.
I am Gadgets, a craftswoman by hobby and trade, and a dreamer all of the time. I have always been interested in things that tend towards the anachronistic, and only discovered there was a name for what I loved a few years ago. Even then, I danced on the sidelines, reading and sighing longingly over lovely corsets and bustles. It was not until last year when I attended A-kon, the local anime convention, that I learned what a thriving community the steampunk culture really was. I attended workshops and lectures during the convention, and have fallen irrevocably in love. There was no more dancing at the edge after that. Now I craft my own jewelery, have nearly completed my own corset, and dream that one day I could be an airship mechanic.
I am known by many names, and none of them are real. My current alias is James Murray, and I am hiding in the farther reaches of the world. Most know of me as The Anarchistic Gentleman. This label is incorrect, as I do not wish to bring down society as a whole, however I do like the sound of it so I have adopted as my non de guerre. My attacks upon the world of steampowered industry are legion. No, wait, allow me to explain myself.
I adore steam power, and all that it has done for the world. But I recently discovered a clean and efficient method of creating the heat needed for steam, using certain ores and minerals to create and sustain combustion. This research was derived as I could see the damage caused by the burning of coal in my past studies as a biologist. I have conclusive proof that one species of white moth has completely died out as a result of the trees in my home city of Elliurk, which became a foundry town, becoming so coated in soot that their predators soon overran them. I also have conclusive proof from studying past historical archives that the temperatures of the world are rising, which I believe could have much more far reaching effects than dirty trees, and which I assure you is caused by the pollutants we hurl into the atmosphere.
I took all my findings to the major universities, to the heads of industry and even tried to reach the ear of our fair matriarch. To no avail. I was spurned from meetings, cast out from societies, derided by scientists who are in the pockets of the industry men. Finally, one horrific day, my family was brutally slain as a message to me to remain silent.
And so, I decided to fight back. I am emboldened by the thirst of revenge for my family, but I fight on behalf of the Earth. You would not know my passion from seeing me on the street, I dress like any other gentleman you care to meet. But under the gentle exterior there is a superior intellect, a passion and aptitude for tinkering and invention, an acrobat, and a master of several martial arts.
So if you work for one of the Enemies of the Earth, and you find your boss has recently turned down a method of clean steam production from a well dressed stranger, then I urge you to look carefully into the shadows of the machine behind you. And then run.
hear! hear! Bakunin would be proud.
Since i wrote that, old chap, i have thought of a dozen other ways one could have worded it, delving deeper into the character. Seems i have created a work in progress, wot!
nothing written is carved in stone even once it is...a work in progress is always good
and hearty amen to that.
Salutations Izzy…… as I read through your introduction and the following response by Airmarshal Cain it seems to me we are cut from the same cloth so to speak.
I would like to invite you both to partner with my ship the "Osprey Grey" under the banner of AIRAT- Allied international Random Acts of Trade. There is plenty of profit to be had, and I personally find it beneficial to have friends in High Places ( the skies that is ). I can promise you the whiskey and songs will flow free and the camaraderie is top notch. I hope you'll give it due consideration. This link will help you find us directly.
In parting a toast to your late husband:
May he have spent half an hour in heaven before the devil knew he was dead!
~Captain Devlin MacBain
Thank you much, Captain MacBain. Might I ask where you and yours are based from?

In regards to working out I get lazy when I have no one to be competitive with.

He usually gives good responses to these type of things
Posted 10 January 2013 - 10:16 AM
Meats: Chicken, turkey, tuna, egg whites(can be found in powder form for shakes and other recipes.) All relatively low in fat and high in protein. Tuna has omega fatty acids as well.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pecans. All have omega fatty acids, and some have antioxidants. Eat in moderation as most have quite a bit of fats.
Tea: Green tea and other herbal teas have antioxidants and are generally good for you.
Grains: rice, oats, and wheat are good hearty grains, and when eaten in more natural forms have a good deal of dietary fiber. They contain little fat, moderate amounts of protein, and high amounts of carbohydrates. I tend to prefer long grain brown rice.
Vegetables: almost any. Even ones that contain fat like avocados have other health benefits, as long as they are eaten in moderation. Carrots, broccoli, fresh spinnach, tomatoes(technically a fruit) and others are very good and combine well with other meals. Celery is often cited as a diet foot, and though it has benefits such as high soluble fiber, it is low in nutritional value compared to many vegetables, so don't eat pounds of it trying to lose weight.
Fruit: almost any. Some are higher than others in carbs, but most provide low calorie snacks with plenty of vitamins. Some have antioxidants like blueberries. Blueberry, strawberry, mango, banana, pineapple, all very good for you.
Beans: Almost all beens are high in protein and carbs, and low in fat or fat free. Lentils are cheap as dirt and somewhere around 10g protein 70 calories per serving. Beans are also a high fiber item which is good for you.
Dairy: Greek yogurt. It's high in protein, relatively low in overall calories, fat, etc. Whey protein powder can be good but i tend to prefer eggwhite protein powder. There are also powders available based on bean and grain proteins. I've just read that egg whites have a better spread of amino acids and other nutrients.
As far as exercise goes, cardio is king. The more you work your heart, the stronger it will be, and the easier all high intensity activities will be. Stretching and things like yoga or pilates will give you the core strength and flexibility you need. Weight lifting can be good, but I would favor lower weights, higher reps, and a greater variety of exercises. You'll see a lot of weight lifters only hit 6 or 7 stations in a given day, do as much weight as they can, in few reps and sets. That is for bulking up and not the kind of training you need for paintball.
Eat as often as you can, in smaller portions. That keeps your metabolism up and keeps you fueled to exercise. As an example, for breakfast instead of box cereal i'd have a banana and a half cup of 2% or 0% greek yogurt with a tablespoon of some natural fruit preserves and maybe a packet of stevia or splenda(if you can stand that stuff), and a slice of whole wheat toast with a low calorie butter spread. Keep in mind "whole wheat" can mean very different things. I've always eaten really hearty bread that you can tell isn't heavily processed, since i was a kid. At lunch i'd cut a slide of cheese and replace mayo with mustard. If you're not a big mustard fan i'd try coarse ground mustard instead of plain yellow, and they also have some flavor mustards that are spicy, or have garlic, and different things. Most are low or 0 calorie. i'd replace the goldfish with a carrot, and stalk of celery and a handful of grape tomatoes. You could dip them in bit of fat free dressing if that helps. They've come a long way in making fat free dressing edible. I have no idea what an arnold palmers is. Is that a drink? Try brewing green tea with a light amount of honey, and then add some stevia or splenda to taste. Replace the apple sauce with an actual apple, preferrably a small tart apple, not a big red delicious. Dinner is probably fine. Turkey and chicken with a serving of brown rice, a serving of beans, and as much steamed vegetables as you can cram in yourself.
Work your way up to 30-45 minutes of running every day. Look up a stretching routine and do that morning and evening, every day. do a pilates dvd and something like zumba or taebo every other day, because it engages lower body muscles that are not used when running in a straight line. Hit the gym 3 times a week if you have access to one and do like i said, low weight with high reps and sets, on as many machines as you have time to hit. If you really wan to to step your game up, do short interval, high intensity training like line sprints, because that's what you do often in paintball, sprint as fast as you can possibly move, from one bunker to another, or off break. If you can, get a heart rate monitor and wear it while you run. As you get more comfortable with running for 30-45 minutes, start pushing yourself to get your heart rate up to around 150-160 bpm for the bulk of that time. It's usually good to build up, so you might spend the first 5 minutes taking it slow, next 5 minutes going a bit faster, and then start pushing it. Be sure to stretch before running or lifting as well. The pilates should stretch you enough before whatever your followup workout is.
As far as progression I'd recommend making your base the daily running, and start with that, and only that. If you have to start out walking, that's fine. Work your way up to 30-45 minutes of running gradually, and once you have that as a daily routine that you never miss, then go for the every other day routine. Then the weight lifting, until you have a complete physical fitness routine. Don't forget the twice daily stretching, and stretching before running.

I agree
Start lifting. Go to a gym and workout your entire body. Cardio is good however it wont help you when it comes to activities that require muscular strength. Also, with more muscle on your body, at rest you will burn more calories during the day so i say lift and do cardio. What I do is I isolate parts of the body such as chest and then i will run for 10 minutes at a high intensity. I go through the body over 4 days with different Ab work outs every day. Then 2 days of the week I do interval runs. this will get you in great shape.

As far as foods go, I recommend using some sort of food catalogue like an app that you record your daily food intake in ("my fitness pal" is great). Remember, carbs are good, good carbs that is. Stay away from white flours, and eat whole grains. One thing that is usually overlooked is sodium; keeping a low sodium intake will help you keep off unneeded water weight, and make you "feel" more fit
Hope this helps!

This was a blind purchase. I was a little leery about doing so. But, I was wearing Light Blue & Aqua di gio. I liked the freshness & it still seemed sexy at the same time. So, I read reviews, and more reviews, then I ordered it. I do not regret it one bit. It smells so clean, refreshing & at the same time a little mysterious. Ladies, try it, you will not regret it. Great price, too.
Written by RMB on September 27, 2016
My first Creed perfume purchase. Lovely fragrance. It starts out sweet but then becomes very fresh. Will buy again. I love to change up my fragrances daily so I don't become "nose blind" to the scent.
Written by NYChick on May 24, 2016
Makes me feel so womanly and almost regal! It is the scent I've been looking for. I sprayed a bit on my wrist, went to bed and it was lingering the next morning. not like an old cheap tramp but like a beautiful and comforting ethereal spirit. Yes, I'm in love!
Written by Queen C. (the First) on December 23, 2015
The price is unbelievable and it arrived safely and quickly. The bottle is beautiful. The scent matures accentuating different aromas at different times. There are few perfumes that I can wear and I normally wear perfume with more spice. This is an alluring fragrance that both men and women appreciate. When people walk into the room, they do not care to leave!
Written by LN on January 01, 2015
Well to be perfectly honest I am a perfume nut and this fragrance is truly fit for a queen; it literally took my breath away. Not only does it have the flowery notes but it also has the new more modern fruity scents for a perfect combination of what I would call exquisite, 5 star, 2 thumbs up call it what you may but it definantly made the grade and then some in my book.. I would recommend this fragrance to everyone. It is my new signature fragrance and prior to I swore by Insolence (Guerlain).

This is all I could think about today regarding the draft...
I am so happy that they abandoned the draft-for-need policy and went to the BPA policy with that pick.
First, I was upset they traded down. And then this is the guy we pick. We basically just traded a 3rd round pick for a 4th round pick, because the 3rd round pick is a throw-away.
And these guys get paid a lot of money to make these decisions.

Memory Alpha:Content policy
Redirected from MA:CANON
this wiki
Please read through the policy below to familiarize yourself with our common practices and rules.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or complaints, please post them on the talk page.
The goal of Memory Alpha is to be the "most definitive, accurate, and accessible encyclopedia and reference" for the Star Trek universe and its associated material. Towards this end, it was necessary to form a consensus about what material should be considered in-universe, and what material should be considered supplementary. Ultimately, this will ensure that Memory Alpha remains useful and authoritative for the widest possible range of fans.
This policy is not intended to mandate what your personal views should be, only what will be considered in-universe on the site.
What information is in-universe on Memory Alpha? Edit
Basically, content from the most complete and recently released version of a television episode or theatrical film can be used as in-universe information.
This means...
- All released episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series
- All released episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series (see FAQ)
- All released episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation
- All released episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
- All released episodes of Star Trek: Voyager
- All released episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise
- All released episodes of Star Trek: Discovery
- All released Star Trek films
...are considered valid in-universe content on Memory Alpha. All releases are equally valid, though the remastered, special, or director's editions of those releases take precedent for simplicity's sake in the case of unresolvable conflicts. All other material is considered to be supplementary. For more thorough breakdowns of the material Memory Alpha uses, or doesn't use, for articles, please see the resource policy and the frequently asked questions.
Dealing with conflicting information Edit
The preferred approach to dealing with conflicts is that to the greatest extent possible in-universe information should be construed so as not to be in conflict, as the presumption should be that a conflict does not exist unless no other explanation is reasonable under the circumstances.
In the event that two in-universe resources directly conflict with each other, either can be referenced as a valid resource, provided the other is also included in some manner in the article and the conflict noted. Explanations of the conflict and the reason for the selection of one resource over another should appear in a manner that is set off from the main text of the article, like in a background note.

Communication and Perception
Northern cardinals primarily use vocalizations and physical displays to communicate. Male and female cardinals both sing. Their songs are loud, beautiful whistled phrases. Their songs have been described as sounding like "whoit whoit whoit " and "whacheer whacheer." These songs are used to defend territories and to court mates. Male and female cardinals use "chips" as contact calls and alarms. They also have many visual displays to signal alarm. These include "tail-flicks" and raising and lowering the crest.

Tom Nolan's new biography of Artie Shaw, Three Chords for Beauty's Sake, provides many insights into Shaw's character and bands through the years. Among the book's many high points are Shaw's own unfiltered reflections on musicians, wives and personalities he knew during his long life (Shaw, pictured, died in December 2004 at age 94).
Here's Shaw on drummer Buddy Rich and saxophonist Georgie Auld:
"I didn't like [Buddy], as a guy, at all. I said he had one quality, though, which was exuberance; he was full of that. It bubbled! That's what came out in his playing. Later [at Buddy's funeral in 1987], I'm talking to Mel Brooks, outside the funeral home. And Georgie Auld—he turned out to be a fucking gangster, horrible guy—he comes up: 'You're fulla shit. You're fulla shit.' 'Wadya mean, George? Wadya talkin' about?' I said, 'Is that your considered opinion? Is there anything you want to add to that?'
"George [pictured] was disappointed he wasn't called on to speak [at Buddy's funeral], and he was very angry. 'You're fulla shit.' That's all he could say! Chagrin! What—I dunno, he identified himself with me, and he never could quite make it, as a star, you know, whatever it was. Angered him. Infuriated him. When I quit the music, man [in 1939], I gave him the band; I gave him my book. He could not make it work. He didn't have the quality that it took. Certain people don't."

Fuel-Efficient Tire Program
Assembly Bill 844 (Nation, Chapter 645, Statutes of 2003) requires the California Energy Commission, in consultation with the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), to adopt and implement a tire energy efficiency program of statewide applicability for replacement tires for passenger cars and light-duty trucks. Once this program is in place, the Commission, in consultation with CIWMB, shall review and revise the program, as necessary, but not less than once every three years.
There are approximately 26 million passenger vehicles currently registered in California. Approximately 5 million of these vehicles are less than three years old running on original equipment tires, which tend to already be low rolling resistance. If the remaining 21 million vehicles used tires with a 10% lower rolling resistance this would result in statewide savings of 252 million gallons of fuel, $882 million, and 2.7 million metric tons less CO2 emissions annually.
The program will have both minimum efficiency standards -- set by the Energy Commission in the Tire Efficiency Proceeding (Docket # 07-FET-1) -- and a consumer information and education component.
For more information on this program, please contact:

Christian's Library Press has released a new translation of Wolfgang Musculus' commentary on Psalm 15, which includes two related appendices on the topics of oaths and usury. Released at the end of 2013, On Righteousness, Oaths, and Usury comes on the 450th anniversary of Musculus' passing. The book is part of CLP's growing series, Sources in Early Modern Economics, Ethics, and Law.
Musculus (1497–1563) was a second-generation reformer in the cities of Strasbourg, Augsburg, and Bern, and produced a variety of works, including an influential collection of theological topics, the Loci communes, or Common Places.
The contents of this new translation come from his commentary on the Psalms, his largest exegetical work and one of his most popular. Portions of the commentary were originally published in German, Dutch, French, and English throughout the sixteenth century. Although Musculus has been somewhat overlooked among the likes of Luther and Calvin, particularly this side of the Atlantic, his works had a significant impact on the Reformation and post-Reformation eras.

Zombie MMORPG
Y'know what I'd love to see? A zombie MMORPG. Maybe MMORPG is the wrong acronym for it though, maybe it's more of a virtual world and not a game. You see, in this MMO the object wouldn't be raiding or roleplaying (well that might fit in at a player's discretion), the object of the game would be survival. And there would be permadeath.
Imagine a large virtual world, perhaps only a single server ala EVE Online, that's set in a fictional United States of America, modern time. It's completely overrun with zombies (dozens of different types of them) and in a severe state of dilapidation and the players are the only inhabitants left on the planet, forming together into small groups or large gangs in order to stake claim to territories and eek out a semblance of normal life.
There would be no levels in this zombie MMO, instead players would earn experience simply by surviving. You'd be able to tell how much of a veteran someone is by how many days they'd survived. There would also be no classes, instead everything is skilled based and learnt from studying books, videos etc found in the world or passed on by another player. Players could learn medical skills to help heal others, mechanical skills to repair cars and electrical generators or combat skills like to marksmanship to make them better at killing those pesky zombies.
A zombie MMO would require a lot of freedom of action. Every vehicle should be driveable (so long as it's in a state of good repair, has fuel and you have the appropriate skills), every house enterable, every animal, person or thing killable. There would be no auction house or global chat, instead players would need to rely on bartering or in-game phones or walkie-talkies. Oh yes, plus there would be permadeath.
There would need to be some way of letting you transfer some of your skills onto your "family members" (new characters) but ultimately everyone only has one life. There would be no resurrection spells or spawn points, instead if you die, you die. I think this is absolutely necessary in order to create a real feel of survival and fear. Being killed by a zombie has real impact. Being killed by another person maliciously, even more so.
The most interesting thing about this game would be seeing how events unfold. Would players unite together towards the common threat of zombies or would they bicker and fight between themselves in gangs over territory? Would they create states of laws and order or would they succumb to the anarchy? I'd love to known.
So what do you think? Could a game like this work? Would you play it ?

On March 29th, 2014, 17 months after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East Coast, many New York City residents have not received the help they need, despite the government promising assistance through various programs. Sandy survivors in Staten Island marched to demand the help needed to get them back into their homes.

Posted on December 3, 2012
I have been following the cleanup of New Dorp Beach, Staten Island since about a week after Hurricane Sandy hit. I've seen this neighborhood transform since then. First there was piles of trash in the streets – people's belongings that were ruined from the flooding – so much that you could barely walk down the street. The first piles of trash were cleaned up within a few days thanks to the hardworking department of sanitation workers and volunteers who came to help. Then people had time to sit back and assess the damage to their homes… after which many, if not most of them, began to gut their homes. Carpet, dry wall, insulation, everything is now being torn out of these homes due to flood damage and mold. Although power has been restored to the neighborhood and the street lights are back on, the homes now have to be inspected before power will be turned on to them, so many are still without power, heat, and hot water.
Many homes look like the one in this photo – just sitting there, missing portions of their walls, no furniture or personal belongings, and sections of dry wall torn out with other sections still in tact. What I'm getting at is that although there has been tons of cleanup done so far, this is just the beginning. New Dorp Beach, and many other neighborhoods hit hard by Sandy, will be cleaning up for months, if not years to come.
Below is a photo of one of the first homes I went into after hurricane Sandy. It was on a chilly day, and as Giles Clarke and I walked by, these kind folks invited us in to warm up by their wood burning stove. We graciously accepted their offer. These people who had lost everything on their first floor worked to get their wood stove up-and-running again, and then shared the warmth with us. Today, I returned to visit them and, yet again, warmed up by their fire. The kindness of the residents of New Dorp Beach, many of whom have lost basically everything, continues to inspire me.
And this is Eddie from New Dorp Beach. His home received major flood damage during hurricane Sandy when the water rose up 8 feet. Although FEMA reported that his neighbors received 8 feet of flooding, the inspector that came to his house reported that he only had 4 inches. The FEMA inspector also reported that he did not have any vehicles, even though there was a van and a motorcycle in his driveway, both of which no longer work because of the flood damage. He spoke out against this obvious discrimination, and now FEMA said they will be sending in another inspector to look at his home.
He had originally gone to a shelter for one night after the hurricane, but was disgusted by the conditions there, and instead choose to put blankets on the floor and sleep in his mold-covered home. In order to stay warm, he was using a wood burning stove, which caused his home to catch fire just a few days ago. This is just one story from one resident in New Dorp Beach, where many, many people are still extremely devastated after hurricane Sandy.
A family put a Christmas tree in a park on Cedar Grove Ave in New Dorp Beach. The sign next to is says, "Here stands our tree of hope. Our symbol of resolve and strength to breathe life back into our community once again. These ornaments represent each family member's life line. Lets stand together as a community….. The Alvarez Family, Marc, Debbie, Jack, Dylan. Merry Christmas ♥"
I also spent time in Midland Beach, Staten Island, and below are photos from there:

And I've been on here about an hour and three quarters - that makes about 20 posts an hour . . . well, I probably was on yesterday for about five or six hours all told, so my average is fairly consistent, I guess. We'll just have to see how far I can climb today!

Steve McCurry's One-Minute Masterclass #10
Legendary photographer's advice for happy snappers and shutterbugs: #10 'What to do if things go wrong'
As the group of photographers sat on a stage at the annual Visa pour l'image festival in Perpignan, France on September 8, 2001, the mood was a little despondent. Photojournalism seemed to be on the wane, celebrity coverage was everywhere. But what they were about to reveal gave reason for hope. They were there to announce the formation of a small, independent photo collective – part traditional agency, part global network reliant on the web – to be based not in Paris, London or New York, but at seven separate laptops around the world - wherever they may be from Manhattan to Bali. The VII Photo Agency (pronounced 'Seven') was in business. And unbeknown to it yet, its first big test would come in three days time.
"We were inventing as we went along," says the agency's initial strategist, Gary Knight. "We paid the lawyer in prints. That week in Perpignan was the first time we had all met in the same room and had the opportunity to go through the business model together, face to face." It was not a new idea but an existing one in a new age – a vote against the mainstream and its launch brought to mind that of Magnum Photos in 1947.
The story of how one of the seven photographers on the stage that day came to record events in New York three days later is just one of the many remarkable moments from the agency's 20 year history documented in both words and pictures in Questions Without Answers: The World In Pictures By The Photographers Of VII.
As David Friend, Vanity Fair's Editor of Creative Development and Life magazine's director of photography during the 1990s says in his introduction to the book: "As the world changed, so the cliché goes, there was a corresponding change in the way we watched the world change. The modern camera, and its new promise of synchronized universal regard, have made combatants, governments and the world at large not only more accountable but accountable in the here and now."
In our First Look Friday gallery above we've taken just a little from each of the categories covered in the book to give you a flavour of what you'll find inside. Click through it now and watch out for more stories and interviews with the photographers themselves in the coming weeks.

New York Power Authority Trustees Accept Resignation of Richard M. Kessel as NYPA President and CEO
NYPA to Undertake Nationwide Search for Successor
Michael Saltzman
(914) 390-8181
July 26, 2011
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees Tuesday accepted the resignation of Richard M. Kessel as NYPA president and chief executive officer. Kessel, who has headed NYPA for nearly three years, will remain at the Authority through Sept. 6 to ensure a smooth transition.
In accepting Kessel's resignation, the NYPA board, which is charged with the oversight of the Authority's senior management, approved the issuance of a Request for Proposals for the hiring of an executive search firm to provide candidates for filling the president and CEO position, the top staff job at the Authority. The trustees elected Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA's chief operating officer, to serve as the Authority's acting president and CEO following Kessel's departure from NYPA.
"We greatly appreciate the considerable efforts of Richard Kessel in leading NYPA during tough economic times in New York State and the country," said Michael J. Townsend, NYPA chairman. "He has been a strong advocate for New York and contributed greatly to the important role the Power Authority plays in providing clean, economical and reliable power for the people of our state."
"I'm leaving the New York Power Authority with a sense of accomplishment for the wide ranging measures we undertook over the last few years for spurring economic development around the state, particularly in Western and Northern New York where our large hydroelectric projects are located," said Kessel. "It's been my distinct pleasure working with Governors Paterson and Cuomo and carrying out their energy and economic development policies."
Kessel said he expects to spend more time with his family. "It's the right time for me to be leaving and I'm very comfortable with the decision," he said.
The candidate selected as a result of the national search for a new president and CEO will be subject to the approval of the NYPA trustees and confirmation by the New York State Senate.
"During the transition period leading up to the selection of a new president and CEO, the Power Authority will continue to remain focused on the economical and reliable operation of its statewide generating and transmission facilities," said Quiniones.
As NYPA's chief operating officer since June 2008, Quiniones has managed the day-to-day activities and operations of the Authority.
He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Electric Power Research Institute, the electric power industry's international research and development organization. He is also active in the affairs of two national public power organizations, serving on the Steering Committee of the board of the Large Public Power Council and as the Power Authority's principal representative to the American Public Power Association.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

Gay Nfl Player To Come Out Publicly Soon sh!t about to hit the fan
Posted 26 March 2013 - 06:44 PM
Former NFL player Scott Fujita has seen enough. He's tired of the bigotry. He wants it to end. He's not alone.
Players like Fujita, along with a coalition of current and former NFL players, and NFL team owners, a music mogul and others, are working diligently to create a safe atmosphere for the day history will happen: when an openly gay man will be a member of an NFL club. People like Fujita -- brave people -- are attempting to make the issue a non-issue for when that day comes.
And there are serious indications that day may come sooner than later. While I've long believed I would not see an openly gay NFL player for decades, that might be wrong.
Based on interviews over the past several weeks with current and former players, I'm told that a current gay NFL player is strongly considering coming out publicly within the next few months -- and after doing so, the player would attempt to continue his career.
I'm told this player feels the time is now for someone to take this step -- despite homophobic remarks from San Francisco 49ers defensive back Chris Culliver and the controversy arising recently at the Indianapolis Scouting combine, when prospects were asked questions about their sexuality.
This player's true concern, I'm told, is not the reaction inside an NFL locker room but outside of it. The player fears he will suffer serious harm from homophobic fans, and that is the only thing preventing him from coming out. My sources will not say who this alleged player is.
There has never been an active openly gay player in a major American team sport, but the information I've gathered on the player in question comes from several current and former players.
"I honestly think the players of the NFL have been ready for an openly gay player for quite some time now," said Fujita, a free agent linebacker who has played for the Chiefs, Cowboys, Saints and Browns. "Trust me, the coming out of a player would create much bigger waves outside the locker room than inside. The way I've seen the conversation around LGBT issues evolve, especially in the past few years, has been encouraging. Guys are more accepting than they used to be. Even those who raise personal objections to homosexuality, some of whom are good friends of mine, would still be able to coexist and accept a gay teammate."
Over the past few days there's been a flurry of activity on the issue including a brief filed by Fujita and others in support of a marriage equality case before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear oral arguments on California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. Opponents of the proposition say it discriminates against gay men and women.
To Fujita and others, this is an important case that could have ramifications in the NFL. If the Supreme Court overturns Proposition 8, it would send yet another signal to closeted gay NFL players that the environment is changing for the better.
The brief's supporters are impressive. They include: Giants co-owner Steve Tisch; Demaurice Smith, executive director of the NFLPA; Vikings punter Chris Kluwe, Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo; Marie Tillman, co-founder of the Pat Tillman Foundation; Russell Simmons, founder of Def Jam Records; former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans; Browns center Alex Mack; and NFL players Connor Barwin, D'Qwell Jackson, Tom Crabtree, Eric Winston and Scott Shanle, among others.
There is a feeling among people who have fought this battle for years that a corner is about to be turned. I don't know. While my faith in humanity remains tepid, it's balanced by my faith in people like Fujita.

How is this not news. Its football. Its the first ever player to come out publicly. It's all over sports radio today. Not just sports radio but CNN got it. Not to mention the big gay marriage debate going on right now. You don't like a topic so you want to delete. Absolute power corrupts absolutely

Seahawks DE Chris Clemons thinks a gay NFL player coming out would be a 'selfish act.' (USATSI)
Former Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita thinks the NFL is ready for an openly gay player and Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo thinks a player coming out will happen in the very near future.
But, as one can imagine, not all NFL players are on board with having an openly gay player and Seattle Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons is one of them. To be clear, Clemons said he has no problem with a gay player, he just thinks a player coming out while in the NFL would be a 'selfish act' because the player would be trying to make himself bigger than the team.
Clemons started a conversation about a gay player coming out on Twitter with the following tweet:
As you'll read in his followup tweets below, Clemons wonders why a gay player wouldn't just come out in high school or college where there would be considerably less media coverage and public scrutiny:
Clemons was then asked if he was against a gay player coming out or just against a gay player waiting until he's in the NFL to come out:
One of Clemons' followers then said that they weren't liking Clemons' tweets on a gay NFL player coming out and that locker rooms need to get over their homophobia. Here's what Clemons responded with:
Clemons can't be the only player in the league that doesn't think a gay player should come out, which makes Fujita's recent comments to CBSSport.com's Mike Freeman more interesting. "I honestly think the players of the NFL have been ready for an openly gay player for quite some time now," Fujita said. "Trust me, the coming out of a player would create much bigger waves outside the locker room than inside."
Based on what he tweeted, Clemons seems receptive to playing with an openly gay player as long as that player comes out before they reach the NFL. However, if any players share Clemons' opinion, then an NFL player coming out could make equally big waves in and out of the locker room.
Clemons is rehabbing a surgically repaired ACL. The veteran defensive end suffered the tear in the Seahawks Wild Card playoff win over the Redskins.
Keep your eye on everything NFL by following John Breech on Twitter: @JohnBreech.

Last week I reported on the environment of the USA Field Hockey Board of Directors meeting held two weeks ago in Orlando (the board room was vibrant and healthy). This week I wanted to cover some of the items that were discussed. Here they are in bullet point:
Strategy: for the past several years, USA Field Hockey has been working toward the development of a strategic plan. The long and the short of it all is that a draft plan has been created, but there was some concern relative to member input and actually making an effort to get a pulse of what our membership (and, potential members) want out of USA Field Hockey. A Strategic Task Force, to be chaired by Heather Lewis, has been put into place by the Board's chair. Plus, the executive director of USA Field Hockey will spend travel time over the next several months visiting regions and events throughout the USA, hosting USA Field Hockey Town Hall meetings and generally getting to know members and the various issues within the sport. In the meantime, the Strategic Task Force will be gathering data through various methodologies. Through direct contact by the executive director, and various survey tools used by the Strategic Task Force, we can grasp needs and directions. While it sounds arduous and complicated, in the end, it is likely that issues will boil down to basic concerns. I bet one will revolve around creating more opportunities to play ... throughout the nation ... not just in hotbed locales. This will be fun and will be of great value to USA Field Hockey. It is always good to properly plot out a path so member needs can be met. By the way, part of that effort will include contacting individuals currently conducting field hockey events, but not sanctioned by USA Field Hockey. Our efforts with those very important event directors are to provide a positive business opportunity through sanctioning of their events that will afford them protection with comprehensive insurance, provide budget relief through various means and to offer other programs that will help attract athletes/teams to their events.
Ethics: a great Power Point presentation dealing with ethics, conflicts of interest, fiduciary responsibility, and the host of traits needed to be an effective Board member (or, for that matter, a committee member or member of the USA Field Hockey staff) was produced by Simon Gray with a great assist from Martha Jordan. It was among the first of several instructional pieces provided during the first day of our Board meeting. It covered all the areas of proper governance including transparency (a topic that will be covered in more detail below). The Power Point presentation was so strong that it has now been adopted by a number of other sport national governing bodies (we all seem to experience similar issues from time to time). Thanks to Simon and Martha. If any of you reading this piece would care to obtain a copy, please drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Self-Evaluation of Board Members: the self-evaluation by Board members is required by USA Field Hockey bylaws to be completed annually. Kevin Parker along with the good help of Dena Ebert, Carrie Lingo, and Alva Serrette (all members of the USA Field Hockey Nominating Committee), provided the report on data related to self-evaluations by the Board. In addition, Kevin provided information covering the nominating process for Board members slated to begin their terms in January, 2011. The nominating process was traditional in an NGB sense, but the presentation of Self-Evaluation of Board Members was unlike any I have seen before. In fact, I have never seen one before as I don't think many NGBs or the USOC actually have a self-evaluation process ... and, it is valuable. First and foremost, Kevin Parker delivered the report. He is hilarious in his delivery style, and was successful through his style to enthusiastically provide a serious report in such a manner that people paid attention. It was so good that had Kevin required a cover charge to hear it, I would have paid. Plus he passed out snacks ... lollipops. The report demonstrated one basic fact graphically, and that was the Board wanted to do a good job in a professional manner, but often had difficulty obtaining the data (i.e. knowledge of various programs within USA Field Hockey) for one reason or another. So, they were frustrated. Getting data would likely resolve many issues within the sport. Well done, Kevin!
Transparency: holding information as secret in a membership organization more often than not creates more difficulties than it resolves problems. If you really think about it, what is so secret in practically anything we do? Our financials should be as readily available as our organic documents, our news, and the list goes on. There are a couple of items that traditionally organizations keep close to the vest. They include contracts and personnel issues. There may be others, but not much more than that. So, throughout the weeks as this report is sent to you, you will be provided information on our financials (on a quarterly basis), our membership numbers, and other information and news as it pops up. You are entitled to know that information and our Board wants it provided to you.
High Performance: Terry Walsh, although he was not at the meeting due to coaching needs, sent in a series of reports and much ongoing information regarding competitions as the Board meeting was proceeding. Over this past month, the women's and men's national teams have been showing outcomes that are showing distinct progress in international competition. Several recent examples include the Women's National Team having highly credible performance levels in their final match against each of Holland (lost 2-3 in the final 2 seconds of play after being 2-0 up after 50 minutes) and China (won 2-1 with a highly competent performance). Given these two nations were the Gold and Silver Medalists from Beijing this was extremely encouraging. The Men's National Team lost 0-2 and 0-3 to Canada with virtually no preparation and not having any team involvement since the World Cup Qualifier in November. Most importantly was the level of performance achieved against a team that is headed to the World Cup in India in 2 weeks time. Also the Men's U/17 Team in Mexico - a highly commendable 3-1 over Chile and a fighting and close 1-3 loss to Argentina in their second contest ... and the Women's National U/19 and U/17 teams, players and coaches, will be at the Olympic Training Center this weekend to hone their team and individual skills for their pending international competitions.
The above gives you a good flavor of much that went on during the Board meeting. We did have an executive session, but it was devoted to discussing the status of various contracts. I have already said it once in last week's report, but I must again reiterate that I appreciated the professional manner in which the meeting was conducted by USA Field Hockey Chair Jim Johnson. It was crisp, to the point, and efficient. Good stuff.
From the Jay Leno Show (a little old news): The Saints won 31-17 over the Super Bowl weekend, and there was a huge snowstorm in Washington with over two feet of snow. So it's true what people say, that the Saints would win when hell freezes over.
Have a great week!
Steven Locke
CEO/Executive Director

I've been working in Public Affairs for 10 weeks now, but the time has flown by. I'm sad my time here is up, but it's been a great experience. If you're thinking about applying for an internship like mine, here are 10 things you should know about interning at the State Department:
1. You actually matter at State. Every intern I know here is important to his or her office. My boss and I had a running joke about him expecting me to bring him coffee, but I actually spent my time writing and editing for DipNote and working on the website.
2. Your work matters. No matter what position you hold in the State Department, you will be doing work that has a real effect on peoples' lives.
3. They treat you well. Former Secretary Condoleezza Rice -- herself, a former State Department intern -- told her employees to be nice to interns because they could become Secretary of State one day, like she did. Everyone I've met has taken that advice to heart.
4. You get an inside look at diplomacy. I've seen Secretary of State John Kerry speak many times and been inside the Ben Franklin Room, the Treaty Room, and the Operations Center.
5. You will learn a lot about foreign policy. No matter what you're doing, you're surrounded by people whose job is to pay close attention to what's going on in the world, and you're helping them do it.
6. You'll also learn about how the government works. Any aspiring public servant would benefit from interning at State. After my time here, I see the government not as a monolithic bureaucracy but as a vast collection of programs which are, believe it or not, designed to help people.
7. Your work ties in with your studies no matter what you do. I didn't think my one year of Turkish classes would be relevant to my job working with social media, but I got to help report on Turkish-language media reaction by doing research on Twitter.
8. You'll meet interesting people because so many of them come through the State Department every day. I've met folks ranging from employees of Facebook to members of the Kosovar Foreign Ministry.
9. You'll have a fun summer. DC is a great place for college-aged kids to be -- hence all the colleges here. And if you're working at a diplomatic post abroad, then lucky you!
10. You'll want to come back. At least I want to, and I'm not alone. A number of current employees started out as interns, and that doesn't happen by accident -- it's a great place to work.

Nvidia Corp. has updated its family of graphics processing units (GPUs) aimed at mobile computers with several new solutions. The new products do not bring any substantial performance benefits as they are still based on the G92b chip and have nothing to do with the firms latest GT200 processors. Nevertheless, the flagship GPU has all chances to become highest-performing mobile graphics chip on the market.
"These new Nvidia GeForce GPUs are for those who won't accept compromise in notebook performance. These new GPUs meet the needs of the most demanding consumers in the marketplace by delivering industry-leading performance at all price segments along with features that go beyond graphics," said Rene Haas, general manager of notebook business at Nvidia.
The new line of mobile GPUs from Nvidia includes GeForce GTX 280M and 260M solutions based on G92b chips made using 55nm process technology with 128 stream processors and 112 stream processors, respectively, as well as 256-bit memory controller. In addition, Nvidia unveiled GeForce GTS 160M and 150M products powered by G94b (also produced at 55nm node) with 64 stream processors with 256-bit memory controller.
Considering specs and the fact that Nvidia uses graphics processors that are over one year old, the new mobile GPUs from Nvidia can be considered as re-branded GeForce 9M solutions.
The new graphics processors support DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.0 capabilities, hardware accelerated playback of high-definition video, power saving features as well as other technologies currently supported by Nvidia GeForce hardware, such as PhysX and so on.
Asustek Computer, Clevo and MSI are all showing notebooks based on the new GeForce GTX 200M and GeForce GTS 100M series GPUs at CeBIT.

These photographs by Bill Aron are part of a project titled "Holocaust Survivors: The Indestructible Spirit."
The project, sponsored by Chapman University, unites interviews and images of local Holocaust survivors, with each illuminating the other, telling their stories from the war and also showing them today as they have not only survived, but prospered.
The biographies here were condensed and excerpted by The Journal from interviews by students of professor Marilyn J. Harran, director of Chapman's Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education. The interviews were conducted as part of Harran's Holocaust history courses at Chapman, and are © 2007-2008, Chapman University.
"I was welcomed not only into their homes, but also into their hearts. They gave me a gift of openness and trust, which made possible one hundred truly memorable encounters. It was the essence of these encounters, a deep sense of connection, an exquisite intimacy, if you will, that I felt, and that I tried to put into the images. The extent that my photographs are successful is due to their openness and trust. . . .
The prophet Zechariah proclaims that the people of Israel will prevail "not by might, nor by power, but by spirit alone ... will you survive." Clearly, it was not by might, nor by power that they prevailed, but by the strength of their enduring spirit.
-- Bill Aron, photographer
Jack Pariser was born in 1929 in Poland, south of Krakow. His father sold lumber and his mother sold fabric. When the Nazis began terrorizing Jews in 1939, Jack's grandfather was beaten unconscious for refusing to walk on the Torah; he died soon after. In early August 1942, Jack's mother learned that the Germans were planning to murder the town's Jews the next day, and the family fled, hiding for months in the forest. They were rescued by a Christian man who had worked for Jack's father and were hidden in a bunker under a woodshed floor. When they eventually moved to another hiding place, they were betrayed and arrested by Polish police. They escaped from jail by cutting through the wall with a penknife. They were again protected by non-Jews until the war ended in 1945.
The family moved to the United States in 1949, and Jack went on to become chief scientist at Hughes Aircraft, where he retired from in 1987.
Eva Brettler (nee Katz) was born in Romania in 1936. She was visiting her grandparents in Hungary in 1944 when the German soldiers took her grandmother and aunt as she hid. When she emerged, she sought out the town rabbi, who reconnected her to her parents. When her father was made to do forced labor, her mother tried to protect young Eva, at one point taking on a false identity as a non-Jew, for which she was later denounced and mother and child were arrested. In September 1944, the two were sent on a forced march to Germany with thousands of Jews; Eva's mother was killed on the walk, and the young girl tried to understand why her mother didn't come for her. Eventually, with the help of a fellow prisoner, she arrived at the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she was encouraged and protected by women prisoners. With the advance of the Russian army, the Germans moved the prisoners to Bergen-Belsen by cattle car, and Eva survived -- and helped others -- by luck and ingenuity, squeezing through wire fence to steal scraps of potato peelings from a kitchen refuse area. After liberation, she reunited with her father and they returned to Hungary. In 1956, after the brutal suppression of the Hungarian Revolution, Eva fled her country, arriving in the United States in 1957, where she met and married fellow survivor Marten Brettler. In 1983, she earned a degree in psychology from UCLA and became a social worker.
Sally Roisman (nee Zielinski) was born in Sosnowiec, Poland, in 1930 to a devoutly religious family. When war broke out, the family had nowhere to flee to, so they survived by bartering jewelry for food. Young Sally was often sent to do the job. In 1942, her father was sent to Auschwitz, and the rest of the family was moved to the ghetto. Eventually her sisters, then Sally, were sent to Graeben, a sub-camp of Gross-Rosen. Sally, just 13, survived with the help of her sisters. In January 1945, as the Soviets approached, the Germans sent 250 prisoners on a death march to Germany; Sally was among the 150 to arrive at Bergen-Belsen, where she almost died of typhus. In April 1945, when the British liberated the camp, the sisters learned that their brother had also survived at a nearby camp and two other brothers were at Buchenwald. Their parents, three brothers and two sisters were murdered at Auschwitz.
The remaining six siblings eventually moved to Australia. On a vacation to New York, Sally met her future husband, Steve Roisman. The couple settled in Los Angeles, near Sally's sister and brother. Today, Sally is an artist, making award-winning paintings of Jewish life before the Holocaust.
Curt Lowens was born in 1925 in East Prussia (now Poland), to a home filled with music and laughter. His father, once a respected lawyer, lost all his clients with the rise of Hitler. The family moved to Berlin in 1936, hoping to find safety in the large Jewish community there, but eventually decided to immigrate to the United States. The day before they were to depart on the SS Veendam from Rotterdam, the Germans invaded Holland, preventing the departure. In June 1943, the family was sent to Westerbork, a transit camp, and then to Auschwitz. However, they were released and immediately went underground. Curt received a false identity and became an active and valiant member of the resistance, under the name "Ben Joosten."
After the war, in 1947, Curt, his father and stepmother immigrated to the United States; he became an actor, and met Katherine Guilford at the famous Berhoff Studio. He is a respected character actor, working onstage on Broadway and in film and television.Lidia Budgor was born Lola Gryngras in 1925 to a middle-class Chasidic family in the Polish city of Lodz. At 15, she and her family, along with all the city's Jews, were ordered into the ghetto in the Baluty slum. After serving as the family's breadwinner and risking her own life by smuggling food out of the meat factory where she worked, she was denounced and made to pull wagons of excrement to the outskirts of the city. In 1944, the family was sent to Auschwitz; there she lost her family to the gas chambers, and she was moved, eventually, to the Stutthof camp, near Danzig, and then survived the German's death march, against all odds. After the war, she met her husband, Wolf Budgor, in Pomerania. They moved, with a son, to the United States in 1952, and reunited with Wolf's brother in Los Angeles.
Lidia Budgor went on to help found the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum, and in 1959 to establish the Lodzer Organization of Lodz survivors. She is currently president of the council of Holocaust Survivor Organizations.
Leon Leyson was born Leib Lejzon in 1929, the youngest of six children, in northeastern Poland. Nine years later, the family moved to Krakow, just before the German invasion. The family was ordered into the ghetto, where Leon helped keep his family fed, dividing single slices of bread among them, by running errands for the elderly. The family was also helped by Oskar Schindler, who had hired Leon's father and brother to work for no pay but allowed them to leave the ghetto and get scraps of food. The family eventually was divided in various deportations; some members survived, however, in the Plaszow labor camp, because Schindler put them on his famous list, bringing them to his factory in Czechoslovakia, from where they were liberated in 1945. In a displaced persons' camp, Leon finally resumed the education he'd been forced to leave behind when he was 10, and when the family moved to the United States, he earned a high school diploma and college degree.
Leon Leyson taught for 39 years at Huntington Park High School. He also married, became the father of two and the grandfather of three. Since the film "Schindler's List" appeared in 1993, he has become a lecturer in schools and universities.
Fifty of Aron's photos from the project, along with text written by Harran from the interviews, are currently included in an exhibition honoring Sol and Fay Chase, Holocaust survivors, featuring members of the '1939' Club, a Holocaust survivors organization, on view at the Leatherby Libraries at Chapman University.
The project, planned to be expanded to a book, was made possible by a generous gift from Irving and Nancy Chase.
