Publisher of PINK & PINK PAGES and an Artist
As always, PINK support many AIDS/HIV organizations events, all in effort to find a cure for AIDS/HIV. As a media sponsor of Absolut Wrapture, PINK joined the festivities at the Willis Tower on Thursday, January 24, 2013. This time I have decided to donate two pieces of art. I have created two pieces of digital art specifically for this event. I have incorporated the elements of the theme into the art I created. The Absolut Tune bottle, the Willis Tower, and the AIDS symbol were part of elements I used including the Chicago House's logo and what it represents. The inspiration for the first piece came from the The Wizard of Oz, and the second from a panoramic photo of Willis tower, I took many years ago. Both pieces turn out well, are they here for you to enjoy. The Absolut Wrapture event raised $45,000 in support of Chicago House's programs,
On January 28, 2013, I have recieved a thank you letter from Jeremy Hilborn, Director of Individual Giving & Special Events for Chicago House, and I would like to share part of it with you.
I wanted to take this opportunity to send my most heartfelt thanks to each of you for so generously contributing to last week's "Absolut Wrapture" art auction & cocktail party.
With over 350 guests in attendance, our donors enjoyed clear views from the highest point in downtown Chicago, while sipping on delicious Absolut cocktails. With the best collection of art we've seen in years, this crucial fundraising event raised $45,000 in support of Chicago House's programming to men, women, and children affected by HIV and AIDS.
The Chicago House programs reach over 1,500 individuals each year, and they have expanded beyond the permanent housing to include; case management, HIV prevention and testing, employment training and placement, legal aid, medical linkage, and the Midwest's FIRST safe housing program specific to transgender individuals."

Sometimes you have to do hard things to get to the things that are great
There's an amazing thing that happens when you start feeling like you are in control of your life again. Okay, maybe "in control" is too bold of a statement–let's say more in-tune with who you are and your family. Almost every parent has felt like they run around like a mad man/woman trying to get everything done, but unless you've been a divorced parent with multiple kids, you probably won't understand the level of craziness that we parents hit post divorce.
You bust your ass at work to do a good job, bring home a somewhat respectable paycheck, and try to maintain balance with the kids and their activities, school, homework etc. All the while you're at work, you end up missing the 4th grade program, the 6th grade field trip, and the kids are often left home alone after school and on non-recognized holidays at work like Halloween, Veteran's Day etc. You feel like a schmuck. And when you take-off work because of dentist appointments, state fair presentations or to volunteer in class, you feel like an even bigger schmuck because you're gone from work. It's a lose-lose, really. And it sucks! It's a battle that never ends.
Now that I'm at home, I'm battling another battle in my head–it's an evil, mean little battle that creeps in every now and then. You're being selfish–decreasing the family's income to chase a dream and be home. How will you pay for braces/college/soccer and all the other unexpected things around the corner? Little shouts of doubt pierce my thoughts, and I shake them off and try to ignore that ugly lizard brain that tries to talk me out of something I know is good for me. But wow is it hard to keep the faith and push forward!
Two weeks ago, my oldest daughter tried out for the Elite Club National League team here in Utah. We got to the tryout, and she didn't know a soul. We sat in the car and watched as girls were dribbling and talking and everyone seemed to know each other. As more cars pulled up, she saw a few familiar faces from school. I thought that may help ease her nerves, but she mentioned that the girls were part of a premiere club, and she was not. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was worried. "I don't want to go out there," she told me.
I watched as she immediately talked herself out of the team, because she didn't have faith in herself or her skills. She was selling herself short, and she hadn't even stepped foot on the field! Of course, I knew she was an outstanding player (she's been playing a year up for 5 years), but getting her to see that is a different story. I watched as she fell apart–completely melting into the front seat of my car. "I can't do it," she said.
My heart broke. I've been there. I never tried anything if I wasn't good at it–I wouldn't be caught dead trying something I looked foolish trying. She is a lot like me. In that moment, instantly remembered my decision at 17 not to take my college volleyball scholarship, because I was terrified–terrified I wouldn't fit in, terrified to live on my own, terrified to move far away from life as I knew it and step out onto unstable ground. Not taking that scholarship is my biggest regret in life.
With misty, tear-filled eyes, I looked directly into the eyes of my daughter–my successful, straight-A, beautiful, dedicated daughter– and told her, "Honey, sometimes you have to do hard things in life to get to the things that are great. You can do this!" It was a moment where my heart was breaking. I wanted to take away her fears and insecurities. I wanted to help her escape this moment with all my being, but I knew this was a moment for her to shine. She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and strode off across the grass and introduced herself to the coach. She made me so proud in that moment. She took everything she was and faced her fears head-on.
She is such an example to me. I know that quitting my job was doing that hard thing for me. But I also have faith that great things are going to happen. In the past 5 days since leaving my job, I've experienced some beautiful things…all because I've been AVAILABLE to see them. Here are a few that come to mind I'd love to share with you:
- My daughter officially became a member of an elite team last week, and they played in their first tournament over the weekend. Both of her coaches expressed to me that she has "something that I just can't teach." I spent the day with her in Park City on Friday, which is something I wouldn't be able to do if I was at my 9-5 job. And on Sunday, her step-dad, 7 siblings, and I watched as she and her new friends took 2nd place in the tournament. Her smile last weekend is something I wouldn't miss for the world.
- Today, I took my 17 year old son to the bank today and showed him how to withdraw money from his account–it seems like such a silly thing, but after landing his first job 2 months ago, he was used to seeing the money going into the account, but he had no idea how to get the money out. He was so proud to withdraw $350 and purchase a new Xbox system. It was like his Christmas for him. And seeing him becoming an adult is like Christmas (in a weird/strange way) for me.
- Yesterday afternoon, I picked up my other son from his girlfriend's house–the sun was out, the radio was turned up, and I looked at him and said, "Let's go get a drink!" This boy loves his Mountain Dew. He beamed, and we rolled down the windows, turned up the tunes, and belted Maroon 5 at the top of our lungs. It was one of those "take a mental picture" moments I'll never forget!
- Finally, last night, my husband came home to a clean house, dinner on the table, and he and I and my youngest daughter went outside and played catch as the sun was setting. If I were working full time, NONE of that would have happened. Our nights were typically frantic, dinner at the last minute, and I usually was cleaning up or catching up on laundry each night.
These are the great moments that pay so much more than any job could. The moments that make me the most proud. And these are moments that if I'm not available, will pass by too quickly.

It seems that it doesn't make sense to think of the Universe as having
either a center or an edge, but does it then make at all sense to think
of it as having any kind of dimension or size? Perhaps the Universe
contains all sizes and therefore has no sizes. Perhaps I've been reading
too much about Richard Gott and this very bizarre de Sitter space.
However, we can still think of the Universe as having size and
dimension. Indeed, the Universe does contain all sizes, but
it too has a size, just as the balloon has a size. Physicists
raise questions about the number of dimensions, and have theories
for the Universe consisting of 11 dimensions. This, plus more
familiar concepts such as the curvature of space-time, may make
it difficult to think about the Universe having a size. But
none the less, we consider that it does.

Immediate Release: September 19, 2008
The Bearcats has lost six matches in a row and nine of their last 10.
"We played well at times," head coach Glenn Kiriyama said. "We played them close throughout most of the game but let them pull away at the end. We made way too many hitting errors and our unforced errors gave them too many points."
Sophomore Lindsey Mueller recorded her fifth double-double of the season, dishing out 31 assists and coming up with a team-high 13 digs. Classmate Michelle McDonough excelled for the Bearcats as well, posting 11 kills.
Second-year blocker Mercedes Montford continued to star defensively on the net for Binghamton, tallying five blocks for the third consecutive match.
Binghamton will be play two matches on Saturday, first facing off against Hofstra at 10 a.m. and then playing later in the afternoon against Rice at 4:30.

2 local students arrested for bringing weapons to 2 different campuses
Arrests occurred on same day as Conn. shooting
CHULA VISTA - 10News confirmed two local students were arrested Friday for bringing weapons to two different campuses. The arrests occurred on the same day as the Connecticut school shooting.
At about the same time San Diegans were learning about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, a 15-year-old boy at Otay Ranch High School was being arrested for bringing a homemade knife on campus.
Two hours later at Chula Vista High School, police arrested another 15-year-old when he showed a friend a sword he brought to school in his backpack.
Parent Pamela Lopez told 10News, "It's kind of getting scary, like, maybe they should have metal detectors or something because you never know anymore."
Both sophomores were released to their parents and suspended from school – not expelled – because the school district said they did not brandish or take out their weapons.
The principal at Chula Vista High School told 10News his student was just showing the 10-inch sword to a friend and did not intend to hurt anyone.
However, a Sweetwater Union High School District spokesman told 10News, "They said they were some sort of protection for themselves… not sure what specifically protection from."
Intent or not, parents are angry.
Adrea Gomez, who is the parent of a teenager, told 10News, "Even if there was no harm done, even if it was just showing, the fact that he brought something that could have led to an accident… it's horrible."
"You never know if another kid would have used towards someone else," said Isaiah Chavez, a student at Chula Vista High School. "He could have taken it from him if he was mad at someone and hurt that person."

Watching a new cria arrive and learn how to interact with the world is a fascinating experience. Once they, literally, hit the ground, they learn to stand up on long, weak, wiggly legs and find their source of milk all by themselves. In their first day, they run, roll, and even play with other crias. Amazing!

We bought our farm in 1999 and set about rehabilitating it for our family and our horses. When we decided to raise alpacas, some of our rehab designs changed. We also changed the way we managed the soil and how we harvested our hay. It has been an adventure!

The Karen (pronounced Ka-REN) people of Burma have been living for over half a century under a repressive military regime. Representing the largest ethnic minority group in the country sometimes known as Myanmar, the largely Christian group has been facing forced relocation, forced labor, extra-judicial imprisonment, execution, rape, and torture, as well as the destruction of their villages and crops. Many of them have fled to refugee camps in neighboring Thailand. In recent years the UN has started third-country repatriation for the hundreds of thousands of refugees. Many have found their way to St. Paul, where they now represent the largest Karen community outside of Southeast Asia. Learn more about this group, their culture, and their struggles at a presentation of the 30-minute documentary Don't Fence Me In: Major Mary and the Karen Refugees of Burma and a panel discussion with members of the Karen community as part of the "Saint Paul-itics Series."

text: On January 2, 1999, about 0930 Eastern Standard Time, a Beech C24R, N1857G, was substantially damaged during a forced landing in Farmingdale, New York. The certificated private pilot and passenger sustained minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that originated from Republic Airport (FRG), Farmingdale, New York. No flight plan was filed for the personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.According to the pilot's written statement, he had a complete memory loss of the entire day of the accident. He wrote "[The] engine quit due to ice and water in [the] fuel." The passenger reported that he observed the pilot perform a preflight examination of the airplane, which included removing the fuel caps and looking into the tanks. He did not observe the pilot drain fuel from either the fuel tanks or the main airplane sump drain. After engine start, the pilot taxied to the run-up area, and reported that the engine was running rough. He also reported that he was going to taxi back to the ramp and speak with the owner of the airplane about the engine condition. Upon reaching the ramp, the pilot and passenger remained in the airplane with the engine running, while they visually scanned the area for the owner. Unable to see the owner, the pilot stated the engine was running normal now, and initiated taxi to the run-up area again. Upon completion of a successful run-up, the pilot radioed the tower and requested permission to takeoff. The airplane departed on Runway 32.After departure, on a right downwind, the passenger noticed that the engine, "began to stall." The passenger further reported that the engine lost all power, but the pilot was able to restart it. The pilot advised the tower of the power loss. The engine lost power again, and the pilot was unable to restart the engine. The pilot established a glide for Runway 32. The aircraft impacted the ground in a cemetery, approximately 1,800 feet short of Runway 32. The right aileron and nose gear were separated from the airplane. Both wings were partially separated from the airplane. The pilot was interviewed by an inspector from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Inspector reported that the pilot had struck his head during the forced landing and had no recollection of the flight. The Inspector's examination of the airplane revealed the main fuel bowl of the fuel strainer was contaminated with water, dirt, rust, paint, and sand. In addition, rust was found on the inlet screen to the fuel injection unit and on the fittings to the fuel injection manifold. The Inspector stated that there were no reports of fuel contamination to the other airplanes based at Republic Airport.

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
May 1940. Business district and gas station in Des Moines, Iowa. View full size. 35mm nitrate negative by John Vachon for the Farm Security Administration.
...this oasis of normalcy among the gritty ethnic industrial centers and dry starved-out dust farms that today make up the era to us.
I'm from central Iowa and know Des Moines well. There really were places like this then, but obviously taking pictures of them didn't educate the public about all the privation out there.
You wouldn't recognize downtown Des Moines today. So this pic isn't even history, really. In a way, it is too perfect to ever have been real ... whatever Vachon took pictures of out of his window that day in 1940.
PS: The Savery Hotel became a barracks for WAC officers during WW2. It's still there. I spent the night there once.
For me, this is one of the best sites I've ever found. It deals with real and decent subject matter. I, personally, find it very educational. It is very well thought out and executed perfectly. The "comments" section is a very integral and necessary function in this presentation (the educational part). Kind of pulls it all together. I'm 63 yrs. old and enjoy every "time-line" represented.
It gives me great comfort knowing that there are still people out there that can put something together like this for us. By us, I mean everyone who views this site and maybe makes a comment now and then. It all seems to have a very "American" slant among all the craziness around us these days.

This is just incredible contrast to some of the other photos that you show of people living in abject poverty in the 40's. This looks so prosperous.
It's amazing, but it really does not look like it is real. It looks too perfect, right down the couple swinging their children.
What always amazes me is that in these vintage street scenes the people are so nicely dressed. Quite the opposite of today.
This is looking north up Fourth Street. The building with the Buick sign (on Grand Avenue) and the Hotel Savery (on Locust) are the only structures left of those shown in the photo. There is now a Domino's Pizza where the Buick sign is and the Hills building is now Nolen Plaza, a fountain plaza. To the east of that is the Des Moines Civic Center (also relatively new). The block west of the Hills building is now a business center called Capitol Square. The Shell station would have been on Walnut. There are now high-rise condos there. Fourth street was eliminated between Locust and Walnut. Wish it was still like this ...
I can't seem to get the pictures as large as before, but the cake-shaped sign on the right corner is pretty amazing. I also don't think I've ever seen anything called a "Savery"--had to look twice.

Funtoo Authentication FAQ
This is the approved revision of this page, as well as being the most recent.
- Why funtoo-auth?
- Funtoo-auth, the Funtoo authentication system, currently in beta, allows a single username and password to be used for wiki, bug tracker and forums.
- How do I reset my password?
- Visit http://auth.funtoo.org:9093/reset to reset your password.
- How do I create an account for wiki, bugs and forums?
- Go to http://auth.funtoo.org:9093/new to create an account that can be used across all sites.
- Can I use an underscore in my username?
- Right now, if you create an account with an underscore, there is a bug where you will not be able to log in. So don't do it right now :)
- Are usernames case-sensitive?
- Your username will be stored in lower-case, and you should use lower-case when logging in if mixed-case doesn't work.
- Where is my avatar coming from?
- The forums, bugs and wiki use Gravatar to retrieve your avatar. Head over to gravatar.com to set up an avatar. The avatars on the forum will default to Gravatar, but will also allow you to upload a custom avatar.
- I had an old wiki account -- will it still work?
- When the new wiki (with the new look) was deployed, old user accounts were not migrated. You will need to create a new account.
- I have an old bugs.funtoo.org account, and it still works. How should I proceed?
- Create a new Funtoo account with the same username as your existing bugs.funtoo.org account. Then start using your new account to log in to JIRA. JIRA will recognize that you are the same user.
- What about SSL?
- I plan to add SSL for auth.funtoo.org as well as bug tracker, wiki and forums in the relatively near future.

It's the deadline, and its time to wrap up my style portfolio. Quite honestly, i had no clue what to put in it. It's something i've never done before but here it is. =D i put a lot of thought into this whole thing and i hope it shows!
So this video here (i love the filter, which was added after) is a way for me to show you a tiny piece of my Hong Kong. With going to NYFW in mind, i literally danced down the streets of central. haha. I was born here so i guess every style or fashion related gene of mine originates from this over crowded, way too humid piece of land, called Hong Kong. The first video was taken by me and this one taken of me, featuring two very different sides of me. I hope you've enjoyed every single post in this portfolio. Thanks for allowing me to explore my new found interest in video editing (seriously addicted!)
If i go to NYFW, i imagine i will use my N8 to capture everything i see in video format. I'd definitely say it's my favorite part of the phone. The quality of the videos are really amazing.
finger crossed.

Our GlamTribale Jewelry Is Never Flawless
A reader asked me why Anne of Carversville is green. Living in Carversville taught me that green is the most sensual of colors. Artist Nathalia Suellen agrees. View more of her work at Lady Symphonia.
Street Art Utopia shares inspiration for guerilla gardeners. Here we have a magnificent image of "botanical art therapy" in Phuket, Thailand.
There's a strong dose of urban/natural guerilla mentaility in our GlamTribale jewelry. Just last night I was fussing over the imperfections in one of the wooden beads used in our Isis Collection. It wasn't the result of poor craftsmanship in any way, but the "natural way".
In our over-Photoshopped world where everything is "flawless" — God, how I hate that word — and imperfection isn't tolerated, we forget that in nature there are always dead blooms fading away at the feet of glorious new flowers.
GlamTribale Is Never Flawless
When we explore the majesty of nature, her sensuality and beauty are anchored in a reality that is old and new, used and fresh. I simply adore this repurposed greenhouse from the Homesteading and Survivalism Store.
We are employing the same concept in our beads and materials used for GlamTribale. The result is sophisticated but not flawless, mostly because our beads come from the hands of real people and nature's creations. Our jewelry is not botoxed but recycled, repurposed — an act of redemption, another chance for castaways.
GlamTribale jewelry is designed to change lives and make a difference in the world. Supporting Planned Parenthood PA/US here in America and sanitary napking for young women in Africa, wearing GlamTribale jewelry is intended to be a beautiful reality check for Smart Sensuality women.
The collection is coming in weeks now, so bookmark our page and new website, and visit often. ~ Anne

Squash Program Entering a New Era
According to Marketwatch.com, Lancaster is the top spot for finding retirement employment in the Northeast. John White, the worlds former No. 1 squash player, is talking advantage of that fact.
White, 35, is not your typical retiree. He is working harder than ever as F&Ms director of squash and head coach of the mens and womens teams. Chasing his charges in blue and white is only half of the task. The Aussie-born Scottish national also is running down four children of his own.
Being a full-time coach and dad is a lot harder than being a professional squash player, White says. I didnt know what to expect the first season. It was hit and miss all year, but the rewards were obvious, both professionally and personally.
White recounts his cannonball introduction to paperwork, recruiting and being in charge of a group. It was nerve-wracking to have a whole team to take care of, White says. On the professional tour, you handle your own travel arrangements and you have only yourself to worry about.
For the 10 months of the Professional Squash Association (PSA) season, life is a never-ending series of planes, trains and automobiles. For the first two or three years it is brilliant, White says. The travel, the new places, the sponsors dinnersthe whole experience is awesome at the outset.
White, who was one of the tours most popular players and a fan favorite around the world, played on every continent in just about every venue one can imagine.
While White still had plenty of good squash left in him, he no longer wanted to endure the schedule. After years of the routine, there are only so many more flights you want to get on to, so many delays you can sit through, White says. A five-star hotel is the same as a one-star hotel when you just sleep there.
White hung up his racquet this past summer. During his career, he earned 12 PSA tour titles. He broke into the top 20 in the world rankings in 1998 and climbed his way to No. 1 in the world in March 2004. He was ranked in the worlds top 10 for 76 months and remained ranked in the top 20 for the final 112 months of his career.
While most people think of 401k plans and IRAs when they think about retirement planning, White was focused on finding full-time work. In August 2007, F&M President John Fry heard that White, a resident of Exton, Pa., was on the job market.
It didnt take long for Fry and White to discover they were on the same page. Finding this was kind of lucky, White says. I came knocking on his door at the same time he came knocking on mine. White signed on less than two weeks after the initial contact.
Now in his second season, White has found his groove. He has helped attract a transfer to occupy the mens top position and a first-year for the womens top spot.
He has found in his new schedule more time for his kids and wife, Suzie, to his liking. For the first time since becoming a family, a family life can be planned, White says. There is an official start and definitive end to the college squash season. I can make plans to take vacations, and we can basically be a normal household for the first time.
The Whites are looking for a house in Lancaster. While the retiree is far from his golden years, there is reason to believe the Diplomats next golden era of squash is right around the corner.

This is a nice article about John White. It's what attracted our son to F&M among other things, academics, size, location, etc. John is a wonderful man and we wish him the best of luck at this new endeavor. Our son Geoff will be attending in the fall and looking forward to it.

Need To Meet: Ellie Goulding Video
The adorable English singer dishes about beatboxing, her crush on Rihanna, and why she always has a spare pair of tights in her handbag.
Hey, it's Ellie Goulding, and you're watching MarieClaire.com. I can beatbox, but I'm not gonna do it. No way. I'll never do it. I think is [unknown]. Well, it's the C word. But I know I'm a potty [unknown], which is what we say in England. I--Oh my god. This is so hard. Oh, that is really tough. I think the Beibs. I think. Sorry. I believe William is taken. So Harry. Dancing Queen. That's so true. Okay. So this is my [unknown] bag, which basically--you can either use it as a handbag or you can use it as a week bag and you can shove anything in it that you want. So what have we got? Spare pair of tights 'cause I'm on [unknown] and you never know when you need a pair of tights. Got my green tea. I'm a big fan of particularly Clover green tea because--just really nice. It's not too bitter, and it got good taste. These are my [unknown] sunglasses, which I love, and obviously, it's pretty sunny out so it's very useful. I've got my book, which is my boyfriend's annotated copy of The Mockingbird, which he has--has got cute notes when he was at school [unknown]. This is my hat. I am inclined to wear this a lot, mostly when on bad hair days--all the time. These are my face wipes [unknown]. They are four in one. So cleanse, [unknown] relief, makeup, and moisturizer. What do you know? There is technology like that. And then lastly, my wallet, which is full of-- I don't know. Not really money, actually. Just sort of bits and pieces I've picked up. Got my gym card, got my credit card, got my--what's that? My train card, which gives me thirty percent off trains. That kind of got is, so some of the exciting items in my bag.

Written by Marilou Giammona Monday, 15 October 2012 16:23
When I last had the honor of sitting down with bestselling author and Garden City resident Nelson DeMille, in December 2011, he was nearing completion of his sixth John Corey novel, The Panther. After years of research and long hours holed up in his Garden City office characteristically writing his manuscript in longhand on yellow legal pads, DeMille will see his latest thriller hit bookstore shelves on Oct. 16.
A Book-of-the-Month Club selection, The Panther takes readers on a precarious journey through Yemen with Anti-Terrorist Task Force agent John Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, to hunt down the mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing. As with all of his books, there is some truth, some fiction. The setting, which is in one of the most dangerous places in the Middle East, is offset with Corey's nonstop dry and engaging wit. Even better? The dueling wit that ensues between Cory and Paul Brenner. DeMille fans will remember Brenner from The General's Daughter and Up Country, and will be delighted to see these two characters brought together for the first time.
As I turned each page of my advance copy of The Panther, I was not only spellbound by the action but also continually humored by the exchanges between Corey and Brenner. So, I had to ask: Where does John Corey's wit come from? Would DeMille's friends compare him to Corey? "Well maybe in terms of the wit," DeMille admitted. Those who read his newsletter (www.nelsondemille.net/ content/newsletter.asp) would probably agree.
On a more humble note, DeMille added, "When you write a book, you have time to be witty. Real life is real life, but you can freeze time when you're writing. John says something, and then Paul has to say something, or vice versa."
Now that The Panther is complete, what's next on DeMille's agenda? For the immediate future, he has several local appearances scheduled. He will speak and sign copies of The Panther at the Book Revue in Huntington on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m.; Barnes & Noble in Carle Place on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m.; and Forest Books in Locust Valley on Thursday, Nov. 1, at 6 p.m.
DeMille will visit independent book stores across Nassau and Suffolk. "The independents have a tough time. I try to do what I can for them. They are going through a change, and I think they are going to come out strong," he said. For more information on those appearances and additional appearances, visit www.nelsondemille.net/content/appearances.asp.
Separately, DeMille will make an appearance at the Gold Coast International Film Festival at Oheka Castle in Huntington on Wednesday, Oct. 24, where he will receive the festival's Legend Award.
Looking a bit further down the line, DeMille would like to write a children's book. He has two adult children and a 5-year-old who entered kindergarten this fall. "The children's book is what I really want to do," he said, adding that he will target 5- to 7-year-olds. "I want to get it done while [my son] is in first or second grade. Then I'm done with children's books," he quipped.
The author is intent on working closely with an illustrator of his own choosing. Having been approached by various publishers in the past to write a children's book, DeMille harkened back to his previous attempt at the genre. "I learned about children's books. You need to give [the publisher] the whole thing. They can't visualize the way I'm visualizing … kids with weird expressions on their face, you know, funny kids. You have to find an illustrator who [shares] your vision," he said.
Speaking of children in general, DeMille said, "They need to be challenged … Kids have a lot more capacity than we realize. We used to under teach ... I don't know if we've struck the right balance, but I can see that kids are reading earlier."
As he did the last time we spoke, DeMille praised the public school system in Garden City. "I think the schools here are still good. My older kids, 32 and 34 now … were prepared for college. Like I said, they both went on to Ivy League schools, and I think they were ready for the challenge of the work. Speaking of his youngest child, he said, "He can't wait to get on the bus, and he comes home [from school] happy and charges off the bus. It's a good day for him."
Moving on, I couldn't help but ask, as I did last December, if fans will soon see film adaptations of his books, as was done with The General's Daughter in 1999. "I have a new film agent [who is] interested in serializing the John Corey books. … They want to start with one, and the one they are more interested in is Plum Island." He added that Ben Affleck is interested in the part. The film company is considering 10 one-hour segments and is currently working on a network.
Until that day comes, fans can enjoy DeMille's books, including The Panther, in various formats, from hardcover, to e-books to audio downloads.

Tennessee House Republican Leader Gerald McCormickPhoto by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.

NASHVILLE — The National Rifle Association is taking aim at efforts by Republican Majority Leader Gerald McCormick and other House leaders to push a compromise alternative to the NRA's controversial "parking lot" gun bill.
The NRA's Institute of Legislative Action says in an email alert that McCormick and other House GOP leaders are "insistent on weakening the NRA-drafted" legislation. It urges NRA members to contact lawmakers.
McCormick's alternative bill is modeled on a Georgia law dealing with the issue of allowing guns in locked vehicles parked on lots maintained by public or private businesses.
The Chattanooga Republican and other others have objected to the original bill, saying it interferes with the right of private property owners.
"The language contained in Majority Leader McCormick's HB 3660 introduces several of the worst aspects of the current statute found in the neighboring state of Georgia," says the NRA-ILA email, noting the NR is "working diligently to fix the neighboring law for the past few years and currently has a broader pro-gun bill now making its way through the Georgia Legislature during the current session."
The original NRA bill, which has some 30 House sponsors, would allow anyone with a gun to store their weapons in their locked vehicles on private or government-owned parking lots.
McCormick's bill restricts the bill's provisions to Tennesseans with state-issued handgun-carry permits. The NRA says that discriminates against others like hunters.
The group also objects to restricting the proposal only to employees parked on lots during "regular work hours."
Other NRA objections include exclusions for state agencies.
Last week, the Tennessee Firearms Association issued an alert labeling McCormick, Republican House Speaker Beth Harwell and House Republican Caucus Chairman Debra Maggart as an "axis of evil."
McCormick's bill is scheduled for a committee hearing on Wednesday.

A suburban area is a community outside of an urban center and its outskirts. Common features of these communities are single-family homes interspersed with shopping malls and strips, as well as office buildings. Suburbs often sprawl, making a spread over the area they occupy as opposed to creating prominent skylines such as their urban counterparts. Suburban building often tends to be homogeneous and predictable; residences in the suburbs are sometimes chided as being cookie-cutter and are, in professional terms, for the most part, tract housing.
What Is a Suburban Area?
Most prominently during the post-World War II era, suburbs have been synonymous with the "American Dream" and prosperity. Urban areas are seamlessly blended into sprawling communities with borders between the two often blurred, but the distinctions are difficult to miss.
Suburbs started to gain popularity when the electric railway was implemented in the late 1800s, making it cheap and easy for people to commute from their residence to their place of employment in the city. Other influences of suburban expansion were Henry Ford and his affordable car revolution, development of the interstate highway system, and the federal government making it cheaper for new homes to be constructed outside of the city instead of building upon existing urban structures.
There are many perceived advantages to living in the suburbs. Suburban neighborhoods offer a community and, in some cases, residents can participate in a Homeowners Association to influence the policies that are implemented. Suburban neighborhoods also have the appeal of being removed from the grit and noise of city centers. They are considered to be fairly quiet, provide quality schools and are safer than urban areas.
Suburbs are not a fail-proof beacon of safety. Gangs and drugs still exist in the suburbs, and crime is not vanquished from these areas. Disturbing tragedies occur as humbling reminders that well-manicured communities do not necessarily protect people from some of the scarier aspects of urban living.
The Future of Suburbs
From 2001 to 2006, approximately 90 percent of population growth occurred within the suburbs. During the same period, job growth occurred six times as quickly in the suburbs as in urban centers. Unlike when suburbs were first being developed, many working people commute from one suburban area to another as opposed to commuting from the suburbs to a city center. And with telecommuting jobs becoming more prominent, the concern regarding commuting is becoming less significant. With these considerations in mind, it is believed suburbs will continue to be a popular option for American residency.

Matt Laney"Jesus and his disciples had been invited to a wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They are out of wine.'" - John 2:2-3Being a pastor means you must occasionally endure good natured barbs from church members about our supposed ability to walk on water, feed thousands from a Happy Meal and turn water into wine; the good stuff mind you, Cheval Blanc 1947 not Yellowtail 2013.But hear me on this: dishing up astounding, lavish abundance is the call of every Christian, not just pastors. It's what you signed up for.The God of Jesus Christ just isn't the stern and stingy sort. Jesus reveals a God of reckless generosity. A God who's like a manager paying a full day's wage for one hour of work; a God who's like a father welcoming a train-wreck-of-a-son home with a ring, a new suit and a kickin' party; a God who's like a sower heedlessly hurling seed anywhere and everywhere in complete disregard of soil quality.And if we have encountered God's lavish, abundant love in Jesus, we are called to respond in kind: Like foreign wise men who lay high-end luxury gifts before a newborn pauper-king; like the tax collector who gave away half his income; like Mary, who anointed the feet of Jesus with expensive perfume while the disciples sat around grumbling about a waste of money.How will you be reckless and extravagantly generous today? Will you give someone an hour of your time and attention to just listen? Will you treat a perfect stranger to lunch? Will you bump up your pledge to the church in a big way? Will you sell your belongings, or at least the 75% you don't need or use, and give to the poor?If you do you may find yourself walking on water with Jesus, stuffed to bursting with love and intoxicated with abundant life.PrayerGenerous and gracious God, help me to remember that you call me to abundant life, not to a life of abundance.

A word from Logan - An American Restaurant
LOGAN- An American Restaurant opened in November 2004, with a commitment to providing Ann Arbor a unique and truly sensational dining experience. We are a small, independently owned and operated business. As such, we feel we can be attentive to the small details that separate great restaurants from the rest. For example, Chef-Owner Thad Gillies and his staff prepare from scratch each day the culinary components that are the base of everything we do. When they combine these elements for your dining pleasure, they transcend the French cooking techniques used to create them, in fact, they also transcend the many culinary traditions our kitchen draws from to create our "New American Cuisine". Great food alone does not make a great dining experience, though; we feel that great wine, beer, and spirits are an essential part of that experience, as well. We are seek to offer you the very best of all of these we can obtain, always with a focus on excellent value.Continued

- Wonderful eveningA2foodieDined on 11/19/2014We chose the tasting menu and the wine pairing, and we enjoyed every course and taste and the conversation about the wines with the co-owner. We have been coming to this restaurant since it opened - infrequently, for special occasions. We learned on our visit that it is Logan's 10th Anniversary. Hard to believe. The place has matured wonderfully and is a great night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exellent FoodDateniteDaveDined on 11/15/2014Service is well timed and quality. Everyone had a flawless meal, even though we felt the serving sizes left us wanting more. Very positive first impression!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/14/2014Logan's is a favorite of ours. We are never rushed and the wait staff is very knowledgeable. Meals were perfectly prepared and delicious. Our meals were asparagus tempura, Bacon & Egg salad, Fennel & Peanut Salad, Short Ribs, and Bourbon Pork Tenderloin.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but can be more generousumaaDined on 11/8/2014We could not get a reservation till 9:00 pm on Sunday. The food was wonderful, and the server was very friendly. I have one comment which I hope is constructive. When we arrived, we were starving given how late it was. It took about 15-20 minutes for the appetizer to arrive. Meanwhile, nothing was served except water. We don't drink alcohol. For a restaurant of this price range, it would be nice to serve some fresh bread or biscuits while the customers are waiting. They should at least ask if the customers want that option. Later on, my son observed that biscuits were served at other tables and asked our server. We then got our biscuits, almost towards the end of our meal. It just feels that they are not very thoughtful.Special Features:
- 4.5 starsetbgVIPDined on 11/8/2014Food was very good. Best thing we ordered were the asparagus tempura. Second best were the homemade cookies. Short Ribs were disappointing, but the delicious Amarone wine made up for it.Special Features:
- Excellent venue for birthday dinnerHumblyHungryDined on 11/7/2014We chose Logan to celebrate my wife's birthday meal. Our online reservation went smoothly. The entrance, meal, service, and attention were excellent. I commend the wine steward (one of the owners) for his help with our selection and information about the wines. We had the Pork Belly appetizer and it was amazing. My leg of lamb and my wife's scallops were as good as I've had. It is a bit pricey, but worth every nickel. Enjoy.Special Features:
- Splendid dining experiencephilobriDined on 11/7/2014My favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor for premium food experience. The meal we had last there last was superior to anything else I've tasted in the area. Sat at the bar with my cousin (who is a chef from Ireland) and he found the meal to be the best he has had in the country. In particular, the duck (which was on special that night) equaled the best he or I have ever had. Staff are very friendly and professional which only added up to a great evening.Special Features:
- Don't believe the bad reviewsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014This place was outstanding. Very friendly and attentive staff including Kevin who made wonderful affordable recommendations. Fantastic food. Recently went for the first time and will be going back many more as we have UMS performance series tickets.Special Features:
- Nice foodMasatoDined on 10/29/2014I feels food was so nice, wine nice. however there is no draft beer.Special Features:
- Superb dining & exemplary serviceBlimeleDined on 10/28/2014In our opinion, this is the best restaurant in southeast Michigan. The menu is original and memorable. Fresh, wonderful ingredients prepared with unique flavors and sauces. Every guest is special at Logan, and the service shows it! We celebrate all our special events at this marvelous restaurant.Special Features:
- Random selection...NstraviaDined on 10/28/2014I don't frequent Ann Arbor, so really had no idea where to go. After a brief google search and scanning reviews, I selected Logan. I was not disappointed. We had an early reservation and was given a table by the window. Atmosphere was very nice, nothing too fancy or elegant, just very inviting and warm. Service was very good as well, though our waitress seemed to have gotten pre-occupied during that gap of needing a bit more time with the menu and her checking back. It took her awhile to come back. Not really that big of a deal though. We got excellent help with recommending wine for our meal. The food was excellent. We also opted to share a dessert and the selections were excellent as well. Overall, very positive experience.Special Features:
- just oklislenlawVIPDined on 10/25/2014Service and the wine suggested by the server were good, but the food was just ok.
- Best food in Ann ArborfrugalfoodieVIPDined on 10/22/2014Logan is without a doubt the highest quality and best flavors in Ann Arbor. The menu is always creative and fresh. Good portion size along sophisticated presentation is a rare find. Great wine list and top level service. We go as often as we can afford. If you have never been to Logan you have no idea what you are missing. You will find yourself saying "This seems like NYC not A2"Special Features:
- Amazing Foodfoodsnob1Dined on 10/22/2014Not only did we have a spectacular meal, but the bartender created a hot toddy to take the chill off that was incredible. We got the 5 course chef meal and were not disappointed. I highly recommend Logan.Special Features:
- 5 star foodmargeDined on 10/17/2014The food at Logan's is five star. My mole sauce was as good as any I've had in Mexico . The pork chop special was mouth-watering and innovative. The wine list is extensive although pricey. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass.Special Features:
- Great food and wine!HydesopinionDined on 10/11/2014Menu variety was good. All of our party choose a different selection from the menu. All the food tasted great with excellent presentation. Wine selection was also good. I hope that Logan's is very successful and can expand out of their small store front location. I would call it intimate but not romantic now.Special Features:
- MooseDined on 10/10/2014The wait staff was outstanding, food was excellent! Wine list impressive! A bit noisy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative food and great peopleTacitusDined on 10/10/2014The food is incredibly creative, the service is first rate, you are treated as a friend, the wine list is excellent, an effort is made to find interesting wines at a reasonable cost. There is no better food--delicate flavors and original recipes. Something new every time.Special Features:
- niborVIPDined on 10/9/2014Delicious meal......unusual specials and wonderful ingredients.....can't wait yo go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Logan's for dinneralkmaar90Dined on 10/9/2014First time at Logan's. The food, the staff and the drinks were all great. The staff really likes their job and that makes the whole encounter better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfectluv2dineDined on 10/4/2014My favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor. The service is fantastic, the food matches the service, and the prices are high, but absolutely worth it.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 10/4/2014Logan has become a favorite spot to dine when we are visiting our daughter in Ann Arbor. The kitchen takes fresh food and does wonderful things with it. The scallops were outstanding, as was the salmon. The perch was a bit disappointing--tasty and tender but more than "lightly breaded" for this quality of restaurant. Service could not have been friendlier or more efficient. Overall, dining at Logan is never boring to the taste and is really quite delightful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, overpricedAllieDined on 10/4/2014Seemed a bit expensive and unnecessarily pretentious ("The chef asks that you order your appetizer at the same time as the meal"), but the food was very delicious. The salmon appetizer, although delicious, came with just two very small rolled pieces of salmon, so that was disappointing. However, the meals were generously sized and very tasty. I got the Moroccan Hen, which was seasoned with a perfect blend of Moroccan spices, and my husband got the lamb, which was also seasoned perfectly. The sides were good, too. We also splurged on dessert and coffee. The pear fritters were well worth it, but neither one of us could taste the bacon in the "bacon-pistachio" ice cream. Overall, very good food, but I don't think I'd return for the price.Special Features:
- Third time not a charmDrewinA2Dined on 10/4/2014We've dined at Logan twice before and had sublime meals and excellent service. This time we went for an anniversary dinner and the service was disappointing from the start. The server didn't introduce herself and acted like she was doing us a favor. Her timing was off the entire evening. We sat with empty glasses for 10-15 minutes twice while looking for our server so we could order more wine. We had to ask her. She never offered. The food didn't have it's usual spark. The ceviche and crab and avocado were ho-hum. The lamb was good but the perch tempura was soggy and blah. We've had better perch in dive bars up north. It's disappointing when you pay high prices for so-so food and bad service, especially when it's been so much better before.Special Features:
- Is Logan slipping?OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/4/2014Logan used to be my favorite restaurant in A2: great food and service. I was disappointed during my last visit, when we had very below average service. The server was very unfriendly (seemed annoyed to have to serve us, actually) and had gross, chipping-off nail polish (hope it doesn't land in my food!). Worse, I was surprised to see they hadn't changed their menu in a long time; we hadn't visited in well over a year and it seemed nearly identical. Two patrons said the pork tenderloin was very good. The pasta with asparagus was ok. Overall, I'm sorry to say this is no longer my favorite spot, having become a run-of-the-mill A2 restaurant that meets the status quo, rather than exceeding it.Special Features:
- Great food, great experienceAlmaVIPDined on 10/3/2014So delighted to have finally dined at Logan, it most definitively lived up to our expectations. Service was superb, the food delicious, and the cocktail menu was fun and inventive. I have a few favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor and I try to get to them all every time I visit; after this meal, I'll most definitively add Logan to my list.Special Features:
- best fine dining for any occasionBethVIPDined on 9/30/2014Our dinner visit was 6:30pm on a Tuesday evening. Reservations are a must, as the 7 and 7:30pm slots were full. Service is outstanding, full bar with mixologist, amazing wine list, but the food is an experience that demands your attention and leaves you looking forward to your next visit. Simply exceptional and has been consistently for 12 years.Special Features:
- Delicious anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014Very good service, wonderful food and romantic atmosphere. Perfect date night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Dining ExperiencefinedinerDined on 9/26/2014An excellent restaurant to celebrate a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overdone lambPaigeReaderDined on 9/20/2014Very knowledgeable sommelier. Excellent crab-avocado starter. However, my sliced leg of lamb was over-cooked. I asked for medium rare, but the meat was gray. The server was apologetic and brought me another plate, but that overdone lamb never should have left the kitchen. There's no way whoever sliced it didn't see it was over-cooked, and even the server said he "wondered" about it when he put it on the table. (??) I was given a discount on my meal, which was very thoughtful. Ponzu cauliflower: disappointing -- soggy. Pear fritter: nothing special. The flavor of the diced pears in sauce was odd and detracted from the dish. Too much ponzu on menu. Should offer other salad dressing options. Too much fennel pollen on menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reliably DelightfulGuest411Dined on 9/19/2014Logan is one of our "go-to" restaurants. We can always rely on the food and the service being top-notch and we especially love sitting at the bar, where we can interact with some of the staff. Mark and Kevin always make excellent recommendations! The decor is a bit blah and dated, but the food is consistently delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always wonderfulHungryGirlDined on 9/18/2014Great evening, as usual. I asked for a special table because of my husband's birthday and we were seated at the window. Excellent wine - and they helped us choose something to fit our tastes. Dinner was superb - creative, well seasoned, and delicious. The lamb was very tender. Ann Arbor is so fortunate to have Logan.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of Ann Arbor's Best RestaurantsBethDined on 9/12/2014Our party of six enjoyed a wonderful evening at Logan. The food was excellent, especially the duck breast special. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning the next time we're in town.Special Features:
- reliablerickVIPDined on 9/12/2014We had an excellent meal at Logan. The food was well prepared, (a great amuse bouche) the wine advice was excellent, the wine choices were very good-unusual and reasonably priced-and the service was attentive but not hovering. The menu does not change items very often so we space our return visits.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slightly disappointingHappytodineDined on 9/6/2014Although the food was good, it was a bit on the pricey side. My glass of wine was quite expensive and a very small pour. A gentlemen, possibly the owner?, made his rounds to many of the tables servicing them, however, did not make it to our table to even ask how our meal was. Will we return? No sure.Special Features:

- Great place for something differentthomps97VIPDined on 8/29/2014Chefs use wonderful combinations of ingredients, and there is plenty of variety of menu items, from red meat to vegetarian. We had the tasting menu, and the chefs were able to adapt it for a gluten free diet. The wine pairings were interesting; reasonably valued, and gave us a chance to try things that we might not taste normally. Kevin, the sommelier, is enthusiastic and appears to love this sort of thing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect mealOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/28/2014Logan never disappoints, as usual it was my best meal in Ann Arbor. My wife had wild boar bolognese, which was delicious as usual. I had the shrimp, which included the best mole sauce I've ever had. Don't pass this place up, it is truly a special experience.Special Features:

Et Quid Amabo Nisi Quod Aenigma Est?
Júlio Mendes Rodrigo (6th December 2012 New York City)
Júlio Mendes Rodrigo was born at the heart of dark and misty Mississipi swamps. Soon his family moved to New Orleans where Júlio was introduced to Gnostic Voodoo. As a young man, travelled India and in Calcutta has dedicated his time to the studies of philosophy and his heart to the maharaja's daughter, which got him into a lot of trouble. Escaping from a impossible love he arrived to a Tibetan Ashram and there he spent four years in meditation and learning Tantric Yoga. In Europe (Prague), during the early nineties, Júlio initiated his esoteric studies on the Left Hand Path and the study of Perennial Philosophy (Julius Evola and René Guenon). He is now interested on the subjects of Posthuman and Technognosticism.
His mote is:
MY WORD IS thee TRUE LIE!"
Júlio Mendes Rodrigo is also Saint Julian!
