I was both, got bullied in grade 1, and bullied some kid in a non harsh way in grade 5.
Most Helpful Girl
I was horribly bullied at my new middle school by this 'gang' of 5 students. It was so messed up because we were all in honors classes, but they for some reason started hating me because I was smart or too smart... to which, I pointed out... we're all in honors? They would mess with my locker, throw stuff at me, tease and taunt me relentlessly. It got pretty bad, but because of that, I transferred to an entirely different school for the rest of my middle school experience, and my happy normal life resumed as normal, like someone turned on the light again.10|10|0

Polly Hannah Klaas
Jan. 3, 1981
Marin County
California, USA
Oct. 1, 1993
Sonoma County
California, USA
Murder Victim. She was kidnapped at knife point from her mother's home during a slumber party in Petaluma, California, on October 1, 1993 and was later strangled. The kidnapper (later identified as Richard Allen Davis) tied up her two friends, pulled pillowcases over their heads and told them to count to 1,000, and them abducted her. Over the next two months, about 4,000 people helped search for her and television shows such as "20/20" and "America's Most Wanted" covered the kidnapping. During the initial search, police officers encountered Davis in a nearby rural area, where his Ford Pinto was stuck in the mud. Unaware of the All Points Bulletin (APB), the local police released him after calling his driver's license number in to their dispatcher (which only traced his driving record, but not his criminal record). It is believed that he then drove to an isolated spot, murdered her, and buried her in a shallow grave. On November 30, 1993 police arrested Davis for violation of parole during routine patrol and the arresting officer recognized him from police sketches. As his palm print had been found in her bedroom, he was charged with the crime. Four days later, he led police to her body near Cloverdale. Davis was tried and convicted on June 18, 1996 of first-degree murder and four special circumstances (robbery, burglary, kidnapping, and a lewd act on a child). On September 26, 1996 a San Jose Superior Court jury returned a verdict of death. At his formal sentencing by a judge, Davis provoked national outrage by taunting his victim's family by extending his middle finger to the courtroom television cameras. He still remains on death row at San Quentin State Prison, in Marin County, California. Since the murder, her father, Marc Klaas, became a child advocate and established the KlaasKids Foundation. He has made himself available to parents of kidnapped children, and has appeared frequently on the television news and talk shows "Larry King Live," "CNN Headline News," and "Nancy Grace." The original APB issued for her was broadcast on the California Highway Patrol (CHP) channel, which only CHP radios could receive. CHP practice changed after the case and such bulletins are now broadcast on all police channels. The story of her kidnapping and the manhunt for Davis was depicted in episode 1, season 1 of "The FBI Files" documentary television show, titled "Polly Klaas: Kidnapped" which premiered on October 20, 1998. Since her kidnapping and murder, politicians in California and other US states supported three strikes laws, and California's Three Strikes act was signed into law on March 8, 1994.

|[Explanation of the Guild Card]
Let's take this opportunity to introduce the Guild Card carried by hunters.
|[What is the Guild Card?]
The Guild Card is your hunter's ID. Besides your name, it lists what Quests you have completed, what Treasures you have collected, and what monsters you have slayed.
|You can do the following things with a Guild Card.
You can edit parts of your own Guild Card. For instance, you can change the Self-Introduction as well as the Title. Other information on the card will be updated according to your current status.
You can give other hunters your Guild Card for them to examine. You will not lose your Guild Card when giving it to other hunters.
|Try giving your Guild Card to hunters you meet along the way, as it is considered a sign of friendship and respect. However, be aware that this can only be done in the Online Gathering Hall.
When you receive a Guild Card from another hunter, you are asked whether you wish to file this card away for future reference. Please take care of Guild Cards that seem important to you.
|Next, let's explain Friendship Level. Friendship Level describes your relationship with other hunters. A Friendship level is established when you exchange Guild Cards with a hunter, and is raised when you successfully complete Quests together.
|Next, let's explain Awards. This section of the Guild Card shows the different awards you have earned from the Guild in recognition of your accomplishments. These awards are listed on your card, and can be checked any time you are in town.
|Finally, let's explain Titles. Titles are a measure of how you are viewed around the world.
|If you pile up achievements like completing numerous Quests, slaying giant wyverns, or obtaining many rare weapons, your fame will naturally expand. The Guild Card committee will take this into account and assign you a suitable title.
|That completes our examination of the Guild Card.

LOST & Found
My Big Picture Theory
I've heard it repeatedly being said, "Once Lost ends you'll say 'ah yes it was right in front of me the whole time.'" That being said I believe I have a strong theory on what exactly has been in play on the island especially in regards to Jacob and the Man in Black. It most important theme of the show has been the battle between good and evil. It's not the most original concept but LOST has taken this long used struggle and made something much more of it. LOST is a show that forces big questions like what exactly do the lines of good and evil extend to? Who's to say what actions can be deemed wrong or right? Can someone cross a moral line if the ends justify the means? In the midst of all this philosophical babble, there are two men with opposing views watching their opposing theories play out; Jacob and the MIB. I believe there are many clues to point to this ancient battle between these two island gods from the use of the smoke monster, to a man who never ages, to the stealing of children in the early seasons, there are so many strange happenings that have gone unanswered. I intend to start connecting the dots that will lead us to our final masterpiece in season 6. Here is my Big Picture Theory!
As I do believe a great deal of this story is revolved around Jacob and the eerily anonymous entity that is the Man in Black so I'd like my Big Picture Theory begins with them. I have read quite a few posts that have begun to speculate that the "Anti-Locke" may have been around long before the Man in Black took over after the Death of Jeremy Bentham. I agree that the Man in Black has been around long before the season 5 finale but not in the form of John Locke. I believe the island has been a game played by two important characters; Jacob and of course MIB. Their conversation in the season 5 finale suggests a God-vs-Satan type situation but I think their status is slightly less in magnitude. I am prone to believe there is a higher authority that has placed Jacob and MIB on the island to prove which one has the more accurate idea of how humans approach free will. My knowledge of Egyptian beliefs is limited but I get the feeling Jack and the MIB aren't the God and Lucifer but just two of many gods much like in Greek Mythology. Maybe you could compare them to a Thor and Loki situation with different circumstances. Anyway, I believe Jacob has a strong belief in free will and the goodness of man, where as MIB believes free will only enhances the selfish and violent actions of humans. Jacob has, for the most part, sat back and let the castaways, the Others and the Darma folk live their lives and make their own choices hoping in the end goodwill will triumph and progress with present peace. The MIB does not believe in wait and see and has had much more of an impact on island life.
The conversation in the opening scene of the season 5 finale I believe is the most important scene on the show to date. I have a feeling that scene alone revealed everything to the audience they will need to know without being specific and direct. "You know how badly I want to kill you?" the MIB angrily asked. From the days of the Black Rock sailing to the shores of the island the MIB was set to find the loophole that would destroy Jacob and prove their is no stopping the evil ways of man. (Thus proving himself to my proposed higher power, a Zeus type, the one who may have set the "rule" the loophole, seeks to break.) So far we've only witnessed the MIB in manipulation mode when using Locke's form, but I believe we've seen him many times before.
The evidence for my argument pops up throughout the LOST series. The MIB was looking for the perfect person who could facilitate a rise of evil; someone who could be easily manipulated. I believe he found the perfect person in Locke (and you bet I have an explanation for that) but he started with different castaways. I think Jack was the first to be tempted. Much like Locke's body was used in season 5, the man he proxied for on Ajira flight 316 was Christian Shepherd. Christian's casket was found empty yet Jack had several encounters with his father. I think when the MIB found the Oceanic survivors on the island he found the strongest personality and tried to turn him immediately. Jack being a rationale man and a "good" person must have scared off the MIB. Christian haunted Jack but a few times and then the appearances stopped all together. Jack was the last person who could be turned and the MIB gave up on him quickly.
Another frightening ghostly appearance came in the form of an Oceanic survivor who wasn't quite yet dead. Didn't Walt seem to turn up in the most inappropriate places at the wrong times. His strange appearance drove Shannon in the wild where confusion got her killed. Dripping wet he visited several of the castaways driving them mad. It's as if the MIB was trying to get the castaways sympathy for Walt to forge a war against the others thus turning them to man's evil ways. It drove Michael to sell his soul, saving Walt at the cost of giving up his friends and safety of the beach survivors. Michael wasn't the power player MIB was looking for but he was definitely a pawn in his game. It was Michael's guilt for his actions that made him seek redemption. His sacrifice saved many and I'm sure made Jacob proud.
Next are my favorite reasons why I believe the MIB has used many forms to provoke evil. The first of which is I believe that the MIB not Jacob, has control of the smoke monster and the forms it takes. Remember when Mr. Eko refused to repent for his sins when the smoke monster transformed into his brother? Mr. Eko was on a very righteous path at that point, making up for his sins and fighting to save those around him. Why then would the smoke monster challenge him on his childhood decision to take the gun from his brother's hand to save him from a life of violence? The smoke monster let Mr. Eko live on after one encounter, and I believe the reason is because at that moment the MIB still believed Mr. Eko could be used in his evil plan, but after seeing the way he had found redemption on the island, the MIB knew Mr. Eko needed to be destroyed. Without knowledge to form this theory at the time of his death I was furious with the way Mr. Eko was killed. It didn't seem to make any sense at all and it was the first point I questioned LOST's direction. So why bring up the story of Mr. Eko at this point? Easy, because I believe Mr. Eko's death has been justified and it explains everything we saw when the smoke monster judged another man in the basement of the temple; Benjamin Linus.
I'm operating under the idea that the smoke monster is controlled by and may even be the Man in Black. When Ben was "judged" he was shown only the images that led to his daughter Alex being killed. While this was a terrible event, was it the most terrible sin Ben has committed on the island? Although Ben did nothing to stop it he surely did not pull the trigger of the gun that killed Alex. He should feel guilty for what happened and should show remorse but why was this THE great sin he needed to repent for? I believe it's because this was the only sin Ben was truly sorry for and it was the best way to manipulate him. The smoke monster spared Ben's life after forcing him to relive those horrible visions, but then Alex mysteriously appears behind him. Anti-Locke was no where to be found giving the MIB the perfect opportunity to change into Alex and begin phase two of the manipulation game. Alex told Ben he must do everything John tells him to do. It seemed like good advice at the time but when we find out that Locke hasn't quite been himself you have to question that scene. It helps you realize the vision of Alex was used only to put Ben on the path to following the lead of Anti-Locke right up to the point where he was asked to kill Jacob. Ben has been the villain everyone has been looking for on the show and has always had plenty of evil in him to be manipulated. He was the perfect one to use the knife but none of it could have happened without the biggest pawn of them all; Mr. John Locke.
John Locke has been my favorite character on this series since day one. When I found out that John's body was being used by the MIB and that he truly was dead it was a very painful realization for me. Was John Locke, man of faith, island survivalist, and button expert really just a pawn in this long war of good vs. evil? No one has sacrificed more for the island than John Locke has. The island gave John something he had lived four years without, his legs, only to have something even more crucial taken from him; his life. I was angry when thinking that the man who has gone through so much may have been nothing more than a stepping stone to a bigger picture. This is a man whose father and mother abandoned him early in life, his father used and abused him leading to his crippling injury. His island beliefs were constantly questioned by the other castaways and even the others. He was constantly challenged, questioned and laughed at but he always stayed true to the island that gave him his first miracle. Faith can be a strong tool but blind faith can lead you down dark paths.
From the moment John began to walk on the beaches in season 1 he knew something truly amazing was happening around him. From then on he believed feverishly that he had a destiny and was willing to do anything and everything to achieve that destiny on the island. He started to blindly follow any lead he believed held the key to it all; the hatch, the button, the orchid. This left John very vulnerable as he was just looking for the right path to travel down and when you're weak and vulnerable you'll follow any signs or leads without question. This is why John was always destined to fall from grace. The MIB and Jacob had a battle over John. John was tested constantly sometimes cursing the island and other times praising its glories. In the end both may have won.
The MIB seems to have won the battle, after we witnessed the downfall and death of John Locke. The MIB was able to take over his body and use his island experiences to form an interesting dynamic with Ben ultimately leading to convincing Ben to Jacob. Victory for evil! But did John die only to be used, never fulfilling a destiny he so much deserved. I refuse to believe that! Obviously the final scenes of the season 5 finale would lead you to believe Locke was only a means to destroy Jacob for evil to prevail but I believe Locke's final acts on earth may prove to have been his true destiny. His real destiny was to die for the island and help get back the ones who can truly help Jacob and good overcome the MIB and evil. The real Locke may be dead but he did not die in vain. Ultimately his death helped to propel the others to return to the island. Their importance is yet to be truly realized but I believe a clue to this truth is in the touch Jacob gave each of the castaways in the flashbacks of the season 5 finale. "They're coming" Jacob said as he keeled over. The MIB appeared furious with rage. He thought he had gotten rid of Jack and company in Darmaville and had completed his mission for evil triumph. Jacob let him know in those two words that it's not over yet. The MIB may look like John Locke but the real Locke worked for Jacob and died for the good of man on the island.
It's a lot of confusing theory and the funny part is, it only begins to explain the chaos that has happened on the island. We're so focused on looking for complexities within the story that sometimes we forget that when you pan out and look at the big picture of this show its basis is quite simple: good vs. evil. It's been a game played between Jacob and the MIB and every human that has touched foot on the island has been a player. The War Charles Widmore prophesized is indeed coming. We have not seen the last of Jacob, his war has just begun to hit its climax. Which side will win and how this war will be fought is the real mystery remaining. Did John Locke die in vain or will good prevail? Will the series that began with Jack's opening eyes, end with a sacrifice from him to save the island potentially starting the show with his awakening and ending on his final breath? Is Jacob good or am I way off and the MIB is actually the good one? Is there a difference between the two? This series is beautiful because of the questions it evokes but now I'm ready for the payoff and the answers to cap off a perfect television series.
- I have so much more to add this but I had to get this discussion out there. Let me know what you think!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/3/2009 (3079 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jeny and Alex Kachan have known more than their share of conflict.
They never thought it would follow them to Canada like a dark shadow.
The young couple, who met in their native Russia, fled that country because continuing wars made them believe they had no future.
They moved to Israel, home of Jeny's grandfather. Alex was 25. Jeny was 24 and pregnant with their first child. They were hoping for a fresh start.
"We begin new life in Israel, in Haifa," she says in her halting English. "We find job, we bought a house, everything seemed fine."
But the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon made them rethink their decision.
"I was running from the fourth floor to the basement to hide when the (air raid) sirens came. This is no life for family, for little children."
Alex decided to train to become a long-haul trucker. He found a company willing to take him in Winnipeg and moved Jeny and their daughters to an unfamiliar country. They seemed to have left their troubles behind. What they didn't know was that fresh turmoil lived just beneath their tidy Transcona apartment.
Alex and Jeny have two children, Merial, now three, and Sharon, 11. They are no more or less noisy than average children, a fact that outraged the downstairs neighbours.
"My neighbours begin 'boom, boom, boom' on the ceiling," says Jeny, mimicking a broom handle being thrust upwards. "My children after Israel are saying 'mama, mama!' They are scaring of the booming noise.
"My husband say to the children, 'Don't move. Don't run. Don't play in the living room.'"
When Jeny had friends and their small children over during the day, the neighbour threatened to call the police.
"I was humiliated," says Jeny. "I just begin to cry."
The girls stopped having friends over. "I know I have a neighbour," says Jeny, trembling. "I know they have a life. I do my best to respect my neighbours."
"I'm afraid to move in my own house," says Jeny. "I'm very nervous with my kids. I know you can hear people in other apartments. It's the sound of life."
Mel Bennett, who has been the resident manager at Kildare Estates for almost six years, stepped in. He and his wife, Vinora, live on the same floor as the Kachan family, and have a young family of their own.
"I had to respond every time (the downstairs neighbours) complained." he says. "I went down once when they phoned me. I came back upstairs and the kids were sitting at the kitchen table doing a puzzle and eating ice cream."
The downstairs neighbours did not respond to a request for an interview.
Things came to a head this week when the Kachans received a formal eviction notice from Globe General Agencies. The family has to be out of their apartment by April 30 for reasons of "noise and disturbance."
Ron Penner, vice-president of operations for Globe, had this to say in an email: "We are working with both residents to work out a solution that'll be acceptable to both; at this point it looks at though we will be able to accommodate the needs of everyone."
That's news to the Kachan family.
When the eviction notice arrived, Bennett started a petition in the block, asking other tenants to support the young family. Only one person refused to sign.
The results of his well-intended actions were swift. On Wednesday, Globe handed Mel and Venora Bennett their walking papers.
"We have decided to release you of your caretaking responsibilities effective immediately," the note read.
Ron Penner said his company does not discuss issues related to employees. So now two young families are looking for a place to live.
Bennett says he hopes the families can find homes close to each another because he and his wife feel protective of Jeny when her husband is out of town.
"They've been through so much," he says. "This is just wrong."
And the downstairs neighbours? They're subletting their apartment. In a month or two they'll be gone.
But by then so will the Kachans and the Bennetts.
Even if Globe Realty manages to find that promised solution that will please both neighbours, Mel Bennett will still be looking for work.
And the Kachan children? They'll still fear things that go "boom, boom, boom."

Jagran Prakashan Ltd, publishers of Dainik Jagran, has reported operating revenues of Rs 269.82 crore for Q1 FY11, an increase of 16.36 per cent over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The net profit stood at Rs 55.60 crore, while the EPS for the quarter was at Rs 1.85, an increase of 12.80 per cent over Q1 of FY10.
The company has been investing in the Event, Outdoor and Digital businesses with a view to diversifying and broad basing the growth. In Q1 FY11, these businesses continue to show strong traction with revenue growing to Rs 20.26 crore from Rs 13.51 crore in Q1 FY10, registering a growth of 50 per cent.
Commenting on the performance of the company for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Mahendra Mohan Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, JPL said, "The results for Q1 FY11 were more than satisfactory despite steep fall in other income in comparison with Q1 FY10, which is attributed to non-accrual of exchange fluctuation gain and lower treasury income. The company has recorded higher operating margins owing to impressive advertisement revenue growth, an incredible performance of digital, outdoor and event businesses and lower price newsprint inventory carried forward from the previous year. Notwithstanding the ongoing cover price war in Jharkhand triggered by the competitors, I am pretty optimistic to live up to the expectations as always."

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Weekly Release
| Live Results | Live Video (Subscription Based)
A historic night is on tap Friday as the University of Wyoming wrestling team will make their Big 12 debut tangling with Air Force. It is the fifth conference the Cowboys have been a part as the Pokes are 3-1 in their previous four conference debuts.
The Details
The dual is set to start at 7 p.m. MT in Clune Arena on the Air Force Academy campus in Colorado Springs, Colo.
A Look at Wyoming
A trio of Cowboys find themselves in the national rankings. Junior Benjamin Stroh, who moved to 174 pounds is ranked as high as 13th in the nation by Intermat Wrestling. He is also ranked 15th by FloWrestling and The Open Mat. Senior 285 pounder Tanner Harms is ranked 17th by Win Magazine and 20th by Intermat Wrestling. Junior Drew Templeman is ranked 20th by The Open Mat at 125 pounds.
A busy Saturday in War Memorial Fieldhouse was capped with six individual championships in two divisions at the 38th annual Cowboy Open. A pair of juniors in Benjamin Stroh (174 pounds) and Drew Templeman (125 pounds) won titles at new weights for the Pokes joining senior Tanner Harms (285 pounds) and sophomore Bryce Meredith (141 pounds) with individual titles in the elite bracket.
A Look at Air Force
Air Force also participated in the Cowboy Open last weekend and the Northern Colorado Open the weekend before. The top competitor for Air Force is 133-pounder Josh Martinez. He is ranked highly by several publications and is ranked 14th by Intermat wrestling. The Falcons had 10 total place-winners at the Cowboy Open. Martinez earned Outstanding Wrestler honors in the Cowboy Open's Elite Division, going 4-0 en route to the title at 133 pounds.
He Said it
"It is a little early to be hitting a conference foe, but this will be a good test for us," Wyoming head coach Mark Branch said. "I think this is one of the better teams Air Force has had in a while, they are a gritty team that is very tough to score one."
"It is a statement to say that the season is here opening with a conference dual," Branch said. "It is a new era started and we are excited to see what Friday brings."
Series History
The Cowboys also met the falcons in last season's conference opener defeating Air Force 34-0 in the UniWyo Sports Complex on Dec. 11, 2014.
UW leads the overall series 39-12 in 51 meetings since 1958, and has won the last seven meetings.

Stick Size: 3 3/8 x 3/8 x 3/8"
Pack Size: 4 sticks
Available in 10 colors (this review is on Copper colored sticks)
Each stick produces 15-20 seals
Sold in packs of 4 sticks per color
Look and Feel
The supple sealing wax comes in packs of four sticks. Each stick is smooth on three sides with the J. Herbin logo and ridges on the fourth side.
The wax feels slick but not quite slippery, pretty much like other sealing waxes, but there is a specific difference between this type of wax and traditional sealing wax.
- There is no wick.
- The wax is flexible, both in the original stick form, and after it has melted and hardened.
The wax is called 'supple', meaning flexible, and as you can see from the photo below, I was able to bend one of the sticks considerably before it started breaking. If you do want to break it, applying pressure at both ends with a sudden snap does the trick. The wax can also be cut, easily.
Melting the Wax
Since this supple wax doesn't have a wick, melting it becomes a little more difficult. When you have a wick, you can light it with one match, and the stick will continue melting until you blow out the flame. With this supple wax you need another heat source that will continue to melt the wax.
J. Herbin has some tips and techniques on their page 'How to Use Sealing Wax' page. I tried several things myself--some not recommended by J. Herbin because I wanted to see what happened. I'm sorry there are no photos for some of my experiments, but I just couldn't spare a hand for the camera when playing with matches!
My experiments and their outcomes:
- Matches
- Fingers got hot too soon
- Couldn't light new match quick enough for a smooth transition
- Fireplace Matches
- Flame was too powerful
- Soot got into the wax from matchstick
- Wax sparked, carrying flame to paper
- Cigarette lighter
- On-switch was too close to flame. Fingers quickly got hot.
- My arthritic hands found it painful to keep the lighter on.
- Melted wax well. No sparks.
- Candle-lighter
- Manufacturer recommends leaving on no longer than 30 seconds at a time.
- Flame very large.
- My arthritic hands found it painful to keep the lighter on.
- Wax sparked, carrying flame to paper
I never melted enough stick to get a stub, but it was obvious that when the wax stick got too short, there would be no way to hold onto it while melting it. J. Herbin recommends heating the short stick and sticking it onto a new stick. Eventually, you'd still have the stub of one stick left, though.
So I decided to do what I had planned all along--use my Ranger Art Melting Pot to melt the wax down and pour it. Then I remembered that I had given my Melting Pot away because I'd never used it in the year I had it. Lol. What's that line about Necessity being the mother of invention?
People have been using double-boilers forever--you stick one pan over a pan filled with boiling water. I didn't have any pans that I wanted to commit to my crafts, so I looked for an alternative.
I decided to try melting the wax in a spoon. After breaking off a piece of wax and putting it in the spoon, I used the candle-lighter underneath. The wax melted nicely and was easy to pour out. The downside? Soot built up on the spoon, and it got into the wax. I kind of liked the black streaks in the copper, but it wouldn't be a good look for every color.
The spoon would work for one or two melts, but the spoon would be ruined (and I wouldn't use the spoon for eating with, even if you didn't get the soot build-up). If you were only melting the wax once in a great while, this would be an acceptable method.
I wanted to get away from the soot, and it still hurt my fingers trying to keep the candle-lighter going. I went to a method closer to my double-boiler idea. I put the wax into a metal lid that came off an old tin of tea leaves. I poured boiling water into a mug, set the lid into it, and then covered it with an Amazing Mold Putty mold that I had on hand.
Later, I switched to a Tupperware bowl for my water. It was larger than the mug and the tin floated in the water, instead of sitting above it. The wax into melted faster. There was a greater chance of getting water into the wax, though.
Stamping & Molding the Wax
The most traditional use of sealing wax is to seal an envelope, and then stamp the wax with a seal stamp. Originally, this was to ensure that the recipient would know if the envelope had been opened--the wax seal would be broken. The purpose of this particular blend of J. Herbin sealing wax is to provide a seal that will bend rather than break during the rough and tumble of modern mail delivery.
I felt I should put that to the test.
Today, the Post Office prefers you do not use sealing wax, but they don't forbid it. They do ask that it be on the opposite side from the address and stamp.
I don't have a sealing wax stamp, so I poured some wax onto an envelope and used a rubber stamp. The stamped image is poor, but that was my fault--more on that later. After addressing the envelope to myself, I mailed it off. It came back a few days later with the seal intact and unblemished.
For the stamped image above, I grabbed the first rubber stamp I could find. It was unmounted--just a flat piece of rubber. After I melted a puddle of wax, I couldn't find the stamp immediately and the wax had cooled a bit. I hastily pushed the stamp in and then pulled it out. Because the stamp was so flat, I ended up smearing the wax a bit with my fingers. Bad stamping technique.
I then read the J. Herbin's techniques and discovered that you should stamp into the wax and LEAVE the stamp there until the wax cools completely.
For my second try, I used a wood mounted stamp, so I'd have more control, Much better results all around!
For my next experiment I decided to try molding the wax instead of stamping it. I used some Amazing ReMelt (a mold product that you melt and pour to create a mold, and then remelt afterwards for other projects) to mold some candy alphabet characters and a button.
I wasn't unhappy with the results, but the wax doesn't pick up all the detail. Part of the trouble was that the wax cools so quickly. If I didn't get the mold filled quickly, the wax would cool and wouldn't pick up the impressions.
I discovered that the copper color was hiding some of the detail, as well. After I buffed my wax piece with a colored bees-wax product more detail showed up.
I like the results well enough that I'll mold more of the wax, but you'll get the best impressions from stamping.
I like free-style abstract stuff. During one of my experiments, I got distracted and let the wax cool too much before pouring. The wax started getting stringy. It didn't fill the mold properly, but created this cool stringy texture. Although very thin in places, it hasn't broken yet.
I decided to try splattering some wax onto one of my abstract mixed media pieces.
And for one of my Journal52 art journal spreads, I poured the wax into the words 'Thinking of You' onto a napkin, cut them out and glued it onto the pages. Then I used some E6000 glue to glue down some of the molded pieces I made. The background here is decopauged white napkins rubbed with colored beeswax, so it all makes for a faux encaustic piece.
I think I need something better than my tin lid if I'm going to do much writing, lol! Something with a spout would have given me much better control.
It is tough stuff.
Having a wick would definitely make this wax easier to use. I like the strength of it though. I'll probably get another melting pot for future use, but until I do my double-boiler method suits me.
Because it is necessary to use open flame or boiling water (unless you have an electric melting pot) extra caution should be used, and I wouldn't recommend this for younger children.
The extra strength and flexibilty of the wax makes it a good choice for the traditional envelope seal, as well as being suitable for other projects. I used up about one and half sticks in creating these samples and experimenting. While, I think it works best for small stampings and molds, refinement of the melting methods might make it more suitable for larger projects.

By Lloyd Musser As early as the 1880's, people were thinking about building LODGES on Mount Hood. In 1889, Wm. Ladd and CES Wood built Cloud Cap Inn. Visitors had to travel by railroad to Hood River, then take a stage coach, via a toll road, to reach this rustic lodge, near the timberline on…Read more

Television has been a major entertainment medium since its inception in the early 1900s, especially with its' first real use in the 1920s. Initial TV broadcasts were live events, but starting in the 1930s, famous studios like Disney and 20th Century Fox began creating cartoon programs (Looney Tunes, Mickey Mouse, etc.) and airing them for millions of American children throughout the later years of the Great Depression. Beginning in the late post-war '40s, the first live-action series – like Gunsmoke and California, '49 – began airing for audiences across the nation and television quickly grew to become the industry as we know it today.
Beginnings (1884-1926)
A German university student by name of Paul Nipkow invents a mechanical image-scanning device called the Nipkow disk, used in televisions up through 1939.
The word television is first coined by the Russian scientist Constantin Perskyi at the International World Fair in Paris on August 25, 1900. A pair of French scientists first demonstrate the instantaneous transmission of images, with an 8x8 pixel resolution in 1904, while three years later, Russian scientist Boris Rosling and one of his students, Vladimir Zworykin, create a system to transmit crude images using an early cathode ray tube (CRT). Serbian/American inventor Nikola Tesla demonstrates the world's first moving television images at the World's Fair in New York City in 1909.
Vladimir Zworykin patents the first commercially viable television nine years after Tesla's first demonstration, in 1918.
Era of growth (1926-1949)
- Gunsmoke (1948-1966) – a Western drama series originally started as a radio drama in late 1946, a television version was conceived and began airing on CBS in 1948, until its cancellation after the 1966 (18th) season. Its' spot on the network was replaced by rival show California, '49.
- California, '49 (1948-1973) – the second of CBS' major Western drama series, California, '49 follows a group of miners and their families who come out West to California during the Gold Rush of 1849, and chronicles the developing political history of the state from 1849 through 1874, and the complex situations that develop during the Civil War. Following the cancellation of Gunsmoke in 1966, California, '49 took its' place on the network until it, too went off the air (not cancelled) in 1973.
Classic television (1950-1979)
The '60s were an era of classic shows, and also inaugurated modern sci-fi.
- Doctor Who (1963-1989) – a popular sci-fi show over in Britain and a cult classic internationally, Doctor Who follows a time-travelling humanoid alien (a Time Lord) known as the Doctor (of which there have been a total of eight incarnations, or seven 'regenerations' following the First Doctor; there were seven in the series, the eighth was in a 1996 TV movie) and his typically human companions as he battles foes to save the universe from destruction. The Doctor travels time and space in his TARDIS (An acronym for Time and Relative Dimension in Space), a sentient spacecraft.
- Hogan's Heroes (1964-1971) – Ran for 7 seasons. Follows a group of PoWs in a WW2 prison camp (Stalag 13) in Nazi Austria, led by an American USAAF colonel named Robert Hogan (Bob Crane) as they sabotage the Austrian war effort and help Allied prisoners escape to friendly territory.
- Gilligan's Island (1964-1970) – One of the few shows ever to maintain steady viewership throughout its run, Gilligan's Island follows the comedic exploits of a group of seven castaways (Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor, Mr. and Mrs. Thurston Howell, Ginger Grant, and Mary Ann Summers) stuck on an uncharted island in the South Pacific. No matter the scheme cooked up (usually by some invention of the Professor's), the group always fails to escape the island, typically due to some major blunder on Gilligan's part. His one final mishap, accidentally setting the entire jungle ablaze with a cooking fire in the season 6 (and series) finale, alerts the US Navy airship Indianapolis and its escorts to the castaways' presence, and they are finally rescued.
- Star Trek (1966-1969) – In the 23rd century, Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) of the starship USS Enterprise and his crew "...explore strange new worlds, and seek out new life and new civilizations..." on their 'historic five-year mission'. Declining ratings in the series' third season forced its abrupt cancellation, but it has since been seen as the start of a major science fiction and television icon. A follow-on series, Star Trek: The Next Generation (often abbreviated TNG) was aired from 1987 to 1994 on CBS with overwhelmingly positive reviews throughout its run; two additional series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager began airing in 1993 and 1995, and are currently in their fourth and second seasons, respectively.
- Hawaii Five-6 (1968-1982) – a police procedural set primarily in Honolulu, Hawaii, the show follows Detective Lt. Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord), a former US Navy officer, and his specialized police unit, the 'Five-Six'/Five-6 taskforce as they chase down everything from local criminals to international spies. With a total run of 14 seasons, Hawaii Five-6 is the longest running police procedural in television history.
- M*A*S*H (1972-1983) – follows the story of a fictional US Army medical unit during the Korean War, MASH 4077, located in Uijeongbu outside the Korean city of Seoul. Ran for 11 seasons. The 2½ hour finale, Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen currently holds the record for the single most-watched TV episode in US history, with over 120 million viewers, representing nearly a third of the entire United States at the time.
Modern TV (1980-present)
Known as 'the Action Decade' due in part to the large number of prominent, well-known action shows that began or aired in this period.
- Magnum, P.I. (1980-1990) –
- The A-Team (1981-1988) – follows four 'soldiers of fortune' wrongfully convicted of attacking a Sumatran operations base hours after the end of the Sumatra War in 1969. They travel the world to help right wrongs and bring criminals to justice. Ran for 7 seasons.
- Airwolf (1982-1988) – follows former Sumatra War chopper pilot Stringfellow 'String' Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent) and his older mentor/father figure Dominic 'Dom' Santini (Ernest Borgnine) as they pilot an advanced combat helicopter named Airwolf on top secret missions for the government (and occasionally personal ones). Ran for 6 seasons.
- MacGyver (1983-1993) – follows Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson), a former US intelligence agent, EOD tech in Sumatra, and certifiable genius who fights crime with his intellect and crazy contraptions. He hates guns with a passion, stemming from an accident with a gun during his childhood in which one of his best friends was killed. Ran for 10 seasons.
- ALF (1986-1991) – A furry extraterrestrial named Gordon Shumway (voiced by series creator Paul Fusco) crash lands in suburban Los Angeles, in the garage of the Tanners, a typical middle-class American family. The Tanners (father Willie, mother Kate, and their children Lynn and Brian) soon take a liking to the friendly alien, whom they nickname ALF (short for Alien Life Form) and unofficially adopt him into their family. More often than not, each episode has ALF causing some kind of trouble for the Tanners, from stealing Willie's checkbook to pay for excessive bottled water after an earthquake, to digging up the backyard to emulate the lagoon in Gilligan's Island.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994) – Often abbreviated TNG , the show ran for a total of 7 seasons, featuring a new crew and starship named Enterprise, with its enigmatic captain, Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart).

Set in Los Angeles, and focusing on LAPD Detective Matt Sikes (Gary Graham), who reluctantly – at first – works with a Tenctonese detective named George Francisco (Eric Pierpoint). The show frequently plays on the evils of racism and discrimination against the Newcomers.
- Family Matters (1989-present) – The series is a spin-off of Perfect Strangers, but revolves around the Winslow family. Midway through the first season, the show introduced the Winslows' nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel (Jaleel White), who quickly became its breakout character and eventually a main character.
- Seinfeld (1990-present) –
- The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (1990-1996) –
- Step by Step (1991-present) – Currently in its sixth season, Step by Step is set in a substantially fictionalized version of the Milwaukee exurb of Port Washington, Wisconsin.

When Lawyers Lawyer Up
Let's face it: when it comes to litigating a family business
dispute, a lawsuit can be a trial! The road to court is paved with years of
depositions, pre-trial hearings and other exhaustive legal maneuverings, and by
the time the trial date finally arrives, the lawyer-client bond has been
strengthened by the shared experience of navigating the legal trenches
According to today's guest article by Henry C. Krasnow, such emotional entanglement
coupled with sheer trial fatigue can cloud an attorney's otherwise sound legal
judgment. This can become a problem, especially when a lawyer stubbornly clings
to his original strategies to the bitter end, and consequently rejects reasonable
settlement offers along the way. Such acts of foolish pride not only can lose a
case, by more importantly, they can discourage future business. Hey, if The
Practitioner was your client, I'd be much
happier walking away with something than nothing!
I know, I know—when you're elbow deep in a trial, objectivity
can fly straight out the window. Which is precisely why Krasnow advocates
bringing on outside counsel to help keep things in check. Doing so is by no
means an indication of failure. On the contrary: accepting guidance from others
signals to clients that you're adaptable. After all: everyone makes mistakes.
It's about how you handle setbacks, that matters most.
Of course, if your client autonomously hires back-up
counsel, don't scoff! Instead, salute your client's initiative, and play nicely
with your new team members. Remember: it can't be easy for clients to tap
reinforcement, given the emotional delicacy involving the relationship they
already have with you.
Bottom line: keep the communication lines open, and remain
fluid. And if everything isn't hunk-dory in Legal Land, pair willingly with outside
counsel to maintain a sensible approach moving forward. Because when it comes
to satisfying your family enterprise clients, course correction is not a crime!
But don't take The Practitioner's word for it, seek a second opinion yourself and read Kranow's article by clicking the button below.

With its last redesign, Honda began cramming the Accord with value and convenience features. Notably, a number of connectivity and safety-tech features aren't limited to top-spec trim levels—in many cases they're standard or optional across the lineup.
With the Honda Accord Sedan offered in LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims, and the Coupe available in LX-S, EX, EX-L, and Touring models, there's still a wide range of equipment.
But even in the base LX model you get dual-zone automatic climate control, 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen plus Pandora audio streaming and SMS text-messaging capability. New this year is a multi-angle rearview camera and LED taillights.
With the Sport model, you get fog lamps, a rear spoiler, a power driver's seat, steering-wheel shift paddles, a dual exhaust, and 19-inch alloys. There are now LED taillights, daytime running lights, and fog lights; side skirt trim; and a 60/40-split folding seat.
EX models get a power moonroof, plus the LaneWatch system, keyless ignition, heated side mirrors, and 17-inch alloy wheels, while the EX-L brings on a taste of luxury, with leather upholstery, a memory driver's seat, heated seats, lane-departure warnings and forward-collision warnings, and a HondaLink system featuring Aha streaming entertainment capability in an upgraded 360-watt audio. These models also get a 7.0-inch display audio system, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.
The Touring ups the ante with standard features like the Honda Sensing suite of driver assists, heated rear seats, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic high beams.

There are three primary pH buffering systems of the body but for now we simply want to say a few words about the word "buffer". What exactly does that mean? A buffer keeps something where it should be. It buffers adverse swings. It shields, cushions and protects.
If you have ever seen a pH test strip for a swimming pool, you will note a section of the strip that states "pH" which will give a direct pH reading, and a section of the strip that states "total alkalinity". Now you might have a swimming pool reading of 7.2 pH, but if "total alkalinity" is low, the pH of 7.2 can be easily moved too acid or too alkaline. It can be pushed around because the total concentration of (-
This same thing happens with humans. pH values can get pushed around fairly easily if total alkalinity is low. Some refer to this as mineral reserve. The key is to balance pH and increase total alkalinity levels. Now just so you don't go overboard with the thought that all must be alkaline to the extreme, note that everything has balance and a perfect range. There are compartments in the body that you could say need "total acidity" in order to function. So for our purposes, we will say that the key is "total buffering" which is a good ionic concentration to maintain a solid pH that stays within an ideal range for the thing being measured.
In general we can raise the body's buffer capacity through consumption of mineral rich food, however, this is not always easy to do with our current agricultural situation of chemical farming on depleted soils. So in a clinical environment, we can assist pH balance in the body by using supplemental minerals. We pay attention to the anionic/cationic ratios, and while minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium are important, paying attention to various forms of these minerals is important as what they are bound to can push pH in different directions (up, down or neutral) depending on the type and this can increase "total buffering" activity appropriately to maintain a solid pH that stays within optimum range and does not move easily. Now with that said, it is easy to use the wrong mineral bound to the "other" wrong mineral providing a wrong move in pH range depending on one's chemistry and then that can upset body balance. But we'll cover a bit on this later.
