Have you ever wished you could sit down and have a conversation with literary giant Ernest Hemingway?
Since the Nobel Prize-winning author is not available, many would also find a conversation with his grandson quite intriguing.
John Hemingway, son of Ernest's son Gregory, will be on hand Oct. 10 at Rosemary Beach.
Although born and raised in
Born in 1960, Ernest committed suicide in 1961, when John was 11 months old. He is often asked to talk about his famous grandfather, whom he never met, but feels like he understands.
He remembers being about 10 years old when he first heard of his famous grandfather, but the enormity of the name he carries and the legacy did not sink in until after he had graduated from college and was traveling in
While John knew about his grandfather's accomplishments early on, it was only later that he was hit by the fact that many people almost worshipped his grandfather.
"It was humbling. It makes you think about what he had accomplished," he said.
Through the years, John has talked to family members who met and knew his grandfather and could give him insight into the man who is legend.
John has read all his grandfather's writings and says his favorites are his short stories.
Many have researched and examined Hemingway's writings and in turn written about the man, but in penning his own book about him, John looked first and foremost to personal correspondence between his father and his grandfather.
John describes his book "Stranger Tribe: A Family Memoir" as a biography of his father, who was bipolar, and in his later years, referred to himself as Gloria. The book addresses the issue of his father's cross-dressing and sex reassignment and its connection to Ernest Hemingway.
Hemingway said he was close to his father at times, and at times not. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, he was not.
"With him being bipolar, there were plenty of ups and downs," he said.
To understand his father, who died in 2001 at age 69, Hemingway realized he had to write about his grandfather.
To comprehend their relationship, he used a lot of letters they wrote in the 1950s to each other that have never been published before.
"My book took a departure from the average Hemingway memoir," he said. "I don't see my father as a black sheep. I see him as a logical extension of his father. My grandfather experimented with words and my father experimented with his body."
Gregory had a series of five operations to attempt to alter his sexuality.
"But he remains my father," said John. "I did not think I had two mothers. The person is the person. Although at times he thought he was a freak."
John believes his father, like Ernest, suffered from deep clinical depression and when he was in the mildly manic phase, he was creative. He says it was while in one of the periods of deep depression that his grandfather killed himself. He believes the mental struggles may have complicated the sexual identity confusion in his father.
"My father was born in 1931. At that time there was no help except for Lithium. You just deal with it," he said.
Even though his mother also had mental problems, John has escaped the curse. He has two children, a boy and a girl, ages 16 and 10.
"They know who he (their great grandfather) is. But it's not something that stands at the center of their existence. They are normal kids," he said.
During his research prior to writing his memoir, John said he learned a lot about his grandfather, with the most interesting coming from his posthumously published "The Garden of Eden," which hit shelves in 1986.
"This book basically caused a literary tidal wave," said John. "Before release of this work he was largely viewed as a lover of women, wine, a fisherman, a macho man. Doing a 180-degree turn people then saw a macho man with a twist — macho revolutionalized. They asked themselves if this was a writer they did not know."
"He was the student of a lesbian who sent him to see bull fights where the groom is symbolized by a bull and the bride by the bullfighter. After the dance the sword is inserted. It touched upon his ideas of the union between male and female. It made sense," he continued. "There have been thousands of books published and interest in everything he has written about. He made
A Conversation With John Hemingway is sponsored by the Rosemary Beach Foundation. The Oct. 10 event will be held at
Hemingway said he does not go into such talks with notes and each one is different.
"I never know how it will go. I just see where each one takes me," he said. "It makes it interesting."

Netflix for iOS updated with new subtitle and episode selector
The Netflix app for iOS was recently updated to 4.0, which includes a few new features - namely, a brand new episode selector for iPad, and a redesigned audio and subtitle selector for both iPad and iPhone.
The last big update we saw for Netflix was last fall, for their Just For Kids section. These additions aren't insanely groundbreaking, but they're better than a kick in the teeth. Plus, hey, bug fixes are always good.
As a side-note, Netflix announced their quarterly results today, which included a $1 billion in revenue and are on track to hit 30 million subscribers. Well done, Netflix. Oh, they also announced a new $11.99 family plan to stream to multiple devices at once.

Netflix for iOS updated with new subtitle and episode selector
Yes I agree, A to Z would be fantastic also needs lots more content, it's much better in the US than the UK
Glad to see they upgrade the app.
It would also be nice if they would allow for the removal of items you have rated... A checkbox under settings or something that would say, "Hide Rated Movies/Shows" so that all my recommendations and other lists would not be full of things I have already seen.
I wish they would update the app so you could use it with a DVD/Blu-ray only subscription. It'd be nice if you could add movies to your DVD queue on the go. I am never by my computer when I hear about a movie I want to add and the mobile webpage of Netflix is awful. Zooming in does weird stuff and makes searching difficult.

I'm in love with this product!!
– It smells nice
– Beautiful color
– Good pigmentation
– Blend very beautiful
– Make sure you do not use too much by reason of the color / pigmentation
– Gives a nice shine/glow
– I was outside all day and it was still good. even once after exercise he was good (I had noticed it until evening when I looked in the mirror)
As far as I know, this is now permanent. It's pigmented like hell and If you put too much on, there's no way to sheer/blend it out. The colour is very pretty, but if you use too much (or have some natural redness in your face), you could end up looking like you have fever. 😉

BAKER — Coming off a 14-0 win over Jay in Friday night's Kickoff Classic, Baker School's football team turned its focus to Friday's season opener when the Gators host Graceville. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
Baker Coach Matt Brunson said there were no surprises in the win over the Royals.
"It was a typical Kickoff Classic setting," he said. "Everybody got to play. We are proud of everybody's efforts, and in our varsity half we were able to scratch out a 14-0 win.
"We forced a couple of turnovers and ground it out offensively. I felt like we did what we went over there to do, and we looked good doing it. Hopefully, we can build on the momentum that success brought us."
The Gators scored on an 11-yard pass from Jon Beck to Kodi Moen in the third quarter. D.J. Thomas scored on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter.
"We only gave up one first down and 30-something yards," Brunson said. "They only had something like 14 offensive plays, and we grounded out 37 plays."
The Gators can't let up against a tough Tiger squad that went 8-3 last season and won the District 2-1A title.
"Ty Wise, who was the offensive coordinator over at Northview, is the head coach at Graceville now," Brunson said. "They won their district and got beat by Freeport in the first round (of the playoffs). He's got everybody back and they are going to be a very tough, athletic opponent.
"They are a double-wing, grind it out (team), kind of like the Northview attack. They have good size and very good skills. If they do what they've done on film, it should be a fast paced, grind-it-out attack by both groups."
It's important for Baker's defense to keep the Tigers from getting to the outside, where they can use their speed advantage, Brunson said.
"When we get them contained, we have to have our inside linebackers and free safeties run into the alleys (the inside running lanes) and tackle them because we've had trouble containing Northview," he said. "Graceville has the same type speed to get outside and they can go a long ways.
"We've just to limit mistakes, not turn the ball over and contain those guys. If we do things, we have a chance to be successful. Our people are excited and ready for some football Friday night, and I think it will be a good one against a quality opponent."
WHAT: High school football
WHO: Graceville at Baker
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday

Arizona Cardinals
Behind Enemy Lines: San Francisco 49ers
Sunday's matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals will mean plenty to Jim Harbaugh and Co.
Following last season's run to the NFC Championship Game, the San Francisco 49ers looked poised to make another deep run in the postseason.
Yet postseason aspirations have been put on hold following a 42-13 loss at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks Sunday night -- a loss that has put the NFC West division up for grabs heading into Week 17.
Regardless of how Week 17 turns out, San Francisco is headed to the playoffs. But with a win over the Cardinals Sunday or a Seahawks' loss to the Rams, they will secure the division crown for the second consecutive season. The 49ers would prefer to do so with a win, however, because a potential first round bye is still up for grabs, as well.
Alex Smith torched the Cardinals (18-of-19 for 232 yards and three touchdowns) back in Week 8, but the Redbirds won't be seeing him come Sunday. Second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick will be making his seventh career start since replacing Smith in Week 11.
For the Cardinals, the game represents nothing more than the conclusion of a long, painful season.
Wednesday, December 26
� Could we see Alex on Sunday? (CSN Bay Area)
Does Jim Harbaugh leave Colin Kaepernick in to get more experience and risk injury in what at that point is garbage time against a frustrated opponent? Does he bring in Alex Smith to get some reps in case Colin gets hurt in the playoffs? What if defense and special teams have set up most of the scoring and Colin looks inconsistent? Any chance in garbage time he plays Scott Tolzien to avoid any Alex questions or issues? (I doubt that).

The season-ending knee injury Manningham suffered against Seattle on Sunday night will cost the 49ers their most targeted wide receiver other than Michael Crabtree.
� Randy Moss becomes vital San Francisco 49ers' receiver with Mario Manningham sidelined (San Jose Mercury News)
A potential Pro Football Hall of Famer seeking his first Super Bowl ring, Moss certainly carries more clout than Brett Swain and Joe Hastings, the two receivers who lined up with Crabtree in the 2011 regular-season finale at St. Louis.

� 49ers must get Davis involved (CSN Bay Area)
If the short-handed 49ers are to make another deep postseason, they will need to involve tight end Vernon Davis in their offensive plans more.
� Report: Manningham done for the season (CSN Bay Area)
Wide receiver Mario Manningham suffered an ACL injury in San Francisco's loss to Seattle Sunday and will miss the remainder of the 2012 season, including the playoffs.
� Harbaugh has few words for loss (SF Gate)
A day after enduring his most lopsided loss as a head coach since 2007, Jim Harbaugh was in no mood to rehash Sunday's 42-13 whipping in Seattle.
� Harbaugh has history of getting teams to �reorganize, refit and regroup' (SF Gate)
If there was a theme to Harbaugh's brief media session Monday it was that his team has to "reorganize, refit and regroup," a phrase he trotted out more than once.
Monday, December 24
� Matt and Mindi: First round bye needed for 49ers (CSN Bay Area)
The 49ers need a win Sunday and a loss by the Green Bay Packers to secure a first round bye. After losing two of their last four, that bye could be pivotal for a team that could use some rest.
� Purdy: 49ers' whole season changed by ugly loss to Seahawks (Sacramento Bee)
Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks didn't just leave the NFC West division up for grabs, it changed the whole tone and complexion of the 49ers' season.
� 49ers get Seahawks' message loud and clear in 42-13 defeat (San Francisco Chronicle)
The message was loud in clear in the Seahawks' 42-13 pounding of the 49ers Sunday night: If San Francisco doesn't get back to playing physical football, they won't last long in January.
� Cohn:Loss dents myth of Harbaugh as great coach(Press Democrat)
Jim Harbaugh is on the verge of leading the 49ers to their second division title in as many years, yet Sunday's loss may have exposed several of the coach's flaws.

Ten novels about vampires that don't sparkleWritten by Sean Shannon | | email@example.com
As Halloween draws near, it's helpful to remember vampires weren't always associated with angsty pre-teen novels. Classic and modern literature is full of compelling bloodsuckers whose "camps" anyone can be proud to be part of.
- Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla" is famous not only for being one of the earliest novel-length vampire tales — published in 1872, 25 years before Bram Stoker's "Dracula" – but for having female protagonists (vampire and victim) in a quasi-lesbian relationship. It has been a strong influence on both vampire and lesbian fiction since its publication.
- The classic vampire novel, Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (1897) may be long by the standards of today's novels, but its epistolary (in letters) format makes it easy to read. Film adaptations simply cannot capture all the social themes Stoker weaves into his writing, so if you only know Count Dracula from the silver screen, you need to give the novel a thorough reading.
- "I am Legend" (1954) by Richard Matheson takes vampirism and makes it a pandemic disease, creating an apocalyptic world that should appeal to today's zombie-crazed culture. Matheson's tale moves quickly and builds suspense like few authors of his era did. The novel was the basis or inspiration for several films, most notably "Night of the Living Dead."
- Stephen King's "Salem's Lot," (1975) the author's personal favorite of all the novels he's written, is one of the better books centered around a town where all the residents are turning into vampires. King has woven the story into his "Dark Tower" novels, and also wrote short stories based on "Salem's Lot" early in his career, leaving a wealth of material for readers who enjoy the original.
- No list of novels about vampires is complete without Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles," particularly "Interview with the Vampire." (1976). If you only associate Lestat with Tom Cruise, you need to read Rice's crisp and chilling prose, little of which was captured in Cruise's bland portrayal in the film adaptation. Later novels in the series fail to quicken the heart like the first, but are still must-reads for vampire aficionados.
- Poppy Z. Brite's first novel, "Lost Souls," (1992) contains one of the most compelling modern vampire characters in fiction, the young Nothing. Also featuring Brite's beloved Steve and Ghost tandem, "Lost Souls" turned the vampire genre on its head when it was first published and still stands up today as enthralling, engrossing fiction.
- Kim Newman's "Anno Dracula" (19920 revisits Bram Stoker's "Dracula" universe, creating an alternate timeline where Count Dracula is not destroyed by Jonathan Harker, but rather marries Queen Victoria and spreads vampirism throughout Great Britain. It has spawned a series of novels and short stories, all of which are compelling, although readers should familiarize themselves with Stoker's original novel first.
- One of the more successful comedic skewerings of the genre, Terry Pratchett's "Carpe Jugulum" (1998) is readable without extensive knowledge of Pratchett's Discworld series in which it's set, but is more accessible to Pratchett fans than newcomers.
- "Let the Right One In" (2004) by John Ajvide Lindqvist focuses on the relationship between a human boy and a young vampire to explore modern issues like bullying in a dark and gripping way. The themes may be too dark for some, but those who can stomach Lindqvist's strong writing will be rewarded.
- "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (2010) by Seth Grahame-Smith contains the same mash-up of literature and comedy first made famous by Grahame-Smith's bestselling "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Not bogged down by the latter's necessity to follow 19th century literary conventions, this books moves at a much faster pace, ideal for modern readers.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Most of us have heard this popular phrase and many have probably used it at some point. Used as a common defense mechanism, does it actually hold true to its meaning? According to a recent study, the answer is no.
Results of a bullying study showed that victims of bullying at school, including bullies themselves, are not only more likely to experience psychiatric problems in their childhood, but can have lingering issues into their adulthood as well. To date, this has been the most comprehensive effort to establish the long-term consequences of childhood bullying, according to experts.
The study followed 1,420 subjects from Western North Carolina who were assessed four to six times between the ages of 9 and 16. Researchers asked both the children and their primary caregivers if they had been bullied or had bullied others in the three months before each assessment. Participants were divided into four groups: bullies, victims, bullies who also were victims and children who were not exposed to bullying at all.
Participants were then assessed again in their adulthood and researchers found that victims of bullying in childhood were 4.3 times more likely to have an anxiety disorder as adults, compared to those with no history of bullying or being bullied.
Bullies who were also victims were particularly troubled: they were 14.5 times more likely to develop panic disorder as adults, compared to those who did not experience bullying, and 4.8 times more likely to experience depression. Men who were both bullies and victims were 18.5 times more likely to have had suicidal thoughts in adulthood, compared to the participants who had not been bullied or were perpetrators. Their female counterparts were 26.7 times more likely to have developed agoraphobia, compared to children not exposed to bullying.
In the news article, William E. Copeland, lead author of the study and an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center says, "Bullying is not a harmless rite of passage, but inflicts lasting psychiatric damage on a par with certain family dysfunctions. The pattern we are seeing is similar to patterns we see when a child is abused or maltreated or treated very harshly within the family setting."

Most people will agree that customer service is one of the most important parts of a company's overall strategy to conducting business since without customers there is no business. If this is the case, why is it that so many of us can easily cite examples of poor customer service in our daily lives?
Most companies like to think they have good customer service. However, if steps are not taken to ensure this is true, reality is often far from their perception. In today's world, competition is tougher than ever. If you can't provide services when somebody wants them, there is always someone else who will. You rarely get a second chance when you drop the ball.
At KidsPeace, our commitment to great customer service goes hand-in-hand with our Mission, Vision and Values. Do you know what they are? While the welfare of the client is always first, the revenue we generate helps us provide for the clients and helps pay staff and cover our organization's bills. Great customer service builds a customer base that enables us to properly take care of the children we serve and our staff.
Customer service is part of the foundation of our business success. KidsPeace constantly strives for positive customer relations to maintain the integrity of our organization. We view ourselves as the Ambassadors of KidsPeace and realize that without our customers, we would not be here.
Adults participate in yoga to help reduce stress and to improve flexibility and posture. Now kids are using yoga as more than just a means of physical exercise, but as more of a lifestyle change.
While experiencing a dark time in her life, a local woman in Chicago works to help boost her children's and other children's confidence and ability to resist violence. Students at Nash Elementary School on the city's West Side are learning the principles and techniques of yoga through a program called Keeping the Peace, which is funded by the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority and aimed at students who have a parent who is incarcerated, according to an ABC news article. Meghan Olson started the program as a way to give back from her experience.
"My father was incarcerated in Puerto Rico. Our family had such support around us. I had always been involved with children on the West Side of Chicago and I saw the need there," Olson says in the article. "I see children who are shut down, mislabeled. I see children who are angry."
Students say the camaraderie of like-minded children and understanding adults offers invaluable support and help manage their emotions.
"I feel safer here and people can comfort you like when you feel sad and stuff. Like it was this one time when I was kind of sad then when I came in here everybody gathered around me and gave me a hug," seventh-grader Sania Franklin says in the article.
The program also helps keep them focused by following a different path.
"I feel that I should try to stray myself from doing anything wrong with an illegal intent and keep myself away from the gangs completely," eighth-grader Tyrone Fullilove, Jr., says.
Participants in Keeping the Peace also have access to individual mentoring and family counseling sessions in the evening.
As workplaces become more diverse the need to communicate properly becomes critical. Good communication between managers and employees, customers and employees and employees and clients is essential to operating a successful business. But though communication is recognized as key to a successful work environment, companies often struggle with poor communication. These are some deterrents to effective communication:
1. Lack of leadership: Employees look to their leaders for direction. If managers lack leadership skills, it can stunt the growth of a company.
2. Unclear goals and duties: Before an employee begins work each day, he should have a proper understanding of what is expected in his role.
3. Under-trained employees: An untrained employee will cost the company more money in the long run when they leave to pursue a career with more options. The more a new employee knows about the organization, and how his role affects the overall success of the company, the better the employee is able to communicate with leaders and colleagues.
Employees are more motivated when they have the opportunity to provide feedback about day-to-day operations, share ideas or get involved in decision making. When employees become disengaged from the company, they lose sight of their goals and are less likely to become invested in the company's success. Low employee morale is usually what causes an employee to feel this way and further inhibits good communication.
Another consideration is how we communicate, often relying on phone conversations or e-mail, which can be impersonal and lead to misunderstandings. Face-to-face communication is a better choice and allows for an exchange of ideas.
Life is what is happening to you right now, not what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. And the last thing you want to do is miss it.
Did you rush of to work this morning without really taking the time to taste that cup of coffee?
Did you rush through washing the dishes and miss what was going on in the yard right outside your kitchen window?
Taking the time to realize what you are doing, when you are doing it, is a key facet of slowing down and living a simpler life. But even more important is just taking the time to BE, at least once a day – taking it all in, enjoying the quiet, watching the clouds or enjoying a cup of your favorite tea while resting your body. Start enjoying the simple things in life.
A Residential Treatment Facility specializes in the treatment of chemical dependency; alcoholism; or psychological problems such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, personality issues, PTSD and self-injury. Eating disorders, sexual problems, violence and other behavioral issues may also be addressed in these facilities.
KidsPeace offers residential treatment in Pennsylvania, Maine and Georgia as well as at Mesabi Academy, a juvenile justice facility in Minnesota. There are a variety of specializations within RTFs, but overall they have the advantage of providing an environment that may be less threatening, and more healing, than a psychiatric hospital. In addition to counseling, clients receive education and experience therapeutic recreation to put them on a path to healing.
Clients and clinicians often function like a family, allowing for a much deeper connection. Residential Treatment Facilities also offer a personal atmosphere where the client is in the company of others who suffer from similar issues. This provides a strong support structure, which results in better awareness and more rapid healing and personal growth. This makes clients more likely to return to their families and continue on a successful path.
Scientists are interested in what children are thinking, but pinpointing their thoughts isn't exactly an easy thing to do.
Instead, a recent study in PLOS Biology was conducted in the hope it would help depict how the brain process works and reacts in educational settings. "Sesame Street" was used as a way to test what happens on a neurological level during a popular TV program specifically aimed at learning by comparing the brains of adults and children.
"We're kind of honing in on what brain regions are important for real-world mathematics learning in children," said lead study author Jessica Cantlon, assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.
Participants included 27 normally developing children, ages 4 to 10, and 20 adults between the ages of 18 and 25. Each participant took part in one or more of the three components to the study. Researchers focused on what happens in the brain during mathematical lessons by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure the neural activity in participants.
Part of the experiment had children and adults watch the same 20-minute montage of clips from "Sesame Street," and the fMRI scanner measured their brain activity for the duration of the video. In a different task, participants had to determine whether the stimuli they were shown, such as faces and numbers, were the same. Some clips were related to counting, while others were about colors, animals and other non-math topics. The children were given standardized IQ tests after the scanning.
The results showed that adult-like brain responses tended to show up in kids who demonstrated higher math and verbal knowledge levels. A brain region called the interparietal sulcus appeared to be linked to mathematics, as activity in that area tended to increase during math-related "Sesame Street" segments. However, the researchers do not have enough evidence to know if these neural patterns are the cause or effect of learning.

January was a great month for children in foster care with KidsPeace in Indianapolis.
Fraternal twins Kinsey and Kelsey Mix, who are 7 months old, were born three months premature and had to face many adversities in their first days of life. Both children endured hernia surgery before they were released from the hospital, spent some time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and were fed via G-tube for several months. But now they are developing and growing quite well.
Kinsey is now feeding by bottle only, and Kelsey's therapists are hopeful that she will pass her next feeding study and be able to feed via bottle as well. Both girls are able to flip from their backs to their stomachs and are smiling and giggling often. Foster parents Anna and JohnAllen Schmitt have been amazing in attending to the girls' demanding appointment schedule and undergoing hours of training necessary for the girls to have a shot at a normal infancy.
KidsPeace Indianapolis would like to give a shout out to this family for their hard work and the excitement associated with the deveopmental advancements the girls have made since they entered the Schmitt's care. We are proud to have individuals like JohnAllen and Anna as a part of our foster care system and hope that they inspire other parents in the Indianapolis community to consider fostering children.

Fifteen years is a long time to reflect on, but as I settle in my chair and try to recall who, what and where I was 15 years ago, I come face to face with my 18-year-old self. I was halfway through her freshman year of college and fumbling to find my voice. I was the quiet observer taking in the stories of my peers while struggling to put words to my own. During that time in my life, I was so afraid of my own voice that I became good at listening to the voices of others and believing that because they were more vocal their stories had more value.
I watched as my peers explored their sexuality, experimented with alcohol and other substances and rebelled against those things (whatever those things were back then) they felt held them back. I watched as my female friends and I battled with images of self-worth, self-love and self-respect. I watched as my male friends categorized the females they encountered based on criteria two which the average 18-year-old female is rarely privy.
During that time and the year prior I encountered stories so vastly different than mine but all requiring a listener just the same. There were questions that I, as an 18-year-old, could not answer. Who at 18 knows what to tell a friend questioning his or her sexuality? Who at 18 knows how to talk openly and honestly about reproductive health? At 18, do you truly understand that the friend always drinking or getting high is really crying out for help? Do you understand that the highs and lows that a person is feeling may be signs of something far more than just being a teenager?
At 18, where do you go with all of this information? Where do you send those seeking answers? For me, I tried to be the best listener possible and to pay attention to when a listening ear would not be enough.
I think TeenCentral.Net is that resource for all youth, whether the quiet observer or the storyteller. It is where a teenager can go to learn more about the issues affecting their age group and know the information is safe and current. It is where that teenager tired of watching others get bullied can go to learn more about ways she can stand up for her peers. Or where she can go to regain confidence about her decision not to drink or experiment with drugs. It is where a teenager can go to learn more about what she cares about and figure out ways to make those things matter to others.
It is that thing I wish I had known about way back when. It is that tool that I hope every young person is aware of now. Happy 15th anniversary TeenCentral.Net!
The mid-winter blues are common at the time of year. We all gather indoors, breathe dry furnace air and daylight is scarce. The February blahs can bring about mood swings, depression, sleep deprivation, lethargy and a number of other ailments.
To add to the February blues is what we would least expect – Valentine's Day. I thought that was all about love, togetherness, candy and cards, but this is not always the case. Valentine's Day can bring severe feelings of loneliness, disconnection and inadequacy, along with pressure to have a significant other. It's a day that triggers some questioning about relationships and whether they are for real.
Just remember, Valentine's Day can be fun without a significant other. Have fun with it – send funny cards to friends or children and buy yourself a gift. If you do experience any of these common feelings, know that you are not alone.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, as spring is on the way. Let's think "February RENEWS" instead of focusing on the "February blues." We'll get through this together.
Back in September, a survey was conducted on the state of drug use among U.S. teens and adults that suggested drugs are still a big problem for many Americans. For the annual survey, researchers from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) polled 70,000 people ages 12 and older, asking them about drugs they may or may not have taken within the month. The survey, which looked at data from 2011, provides a look at current substance abuse around the country, according to its authors.
The survey found a 14 percent decline in prescription drug use for non-medical purposes among people 18 to 25, which reflects 300,000 fewer young adults abusing such drugs compared with last year's survey. Prescription abuse rates among children 12 to 17 and adults older than 26 remained unchanged.
About 8.7 percent of Americans 12 and older were identified as current drug users -- similar to last year's 8.9 percent rate -- for a total of 22.5 million American drug users.
"Behind each of these statistics are individuals, families and communities suffering from the consequences of abuse and addiction," SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde, says in a press release. "We must continue to promote robust prevention, treatment and recovery programs throughout our country."
According to the Mayo Clinic, there are ways to prevent teen drug abuse. Common risk factors can include: a mental or behavioral health condition, such as depression, anxiety or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); early aggressive or impulsive behavior; a history of traumatic events, such as experiencing a car accident or being a victim of abuse; or low self-esteem or poor social coping skills. They suggest talking to your teens about reasons not to abuse drugs, ways to resist peer pressure, and even be ready to discuss your own drug use.
Don't be afraid that talking about drug abuse will plant ideas in your teen's head. Conversations about drugs won't tempt your teen to try drugs. Instead, talking about drug abuse lets your teen know your views and understand what you expect of him or her. Other great resources are TeenCentral.Net and ParentCentral.Net, free online counseling forums where you can get advice and read stories from other people dealing with the same circumstances.

hell knowing Obummer , he probably give NK some free h-bombs, several billion dollars in aid money, a couple squadrons of f-16 fighters and several thousand m1 tanks --
all out of our pocket just like he did for egypt.
hell knowing Obummer , he probably give NK some free h-bombs, several billion dollars in aid money, a couple squadrons of f-16 fighters and several thousand m1 tanks --

In my opinion ,, if they do launch missiles towards any of our forces or allies. Drop a big one right in the middle of one of there parades as well as take out every military base we know of simultaneously. That should take out 3/4 of there military and about the same amount of the gov officials in one operation. Target , "mini me" ,,,,kim jong un , his staff, and military leaders,, FIRST, then swing a broad sword through every military facility we find. Flatten every single one.
Why this country lets these third world shit holes keep threaten us with nukes with no reprisals,,,, I just don't understand! What to hell we going to do,,, wait till they really do serious damage here? And keep giving them our tax dollars to appease them, while this country's infrastructure , and future goes down the tubes ! Then end up crying about it,,,,WTF !!!
Are we going to "politically correct" this country out of existence? Sure seems to be the plan, we've had countries threatening us with nukes,, and all the time all the dems seem to be concerned about is, gun control,,,and how many rounds a "clip " holds or where can they can get more tax dollars from for there social programs,,,,,,,, seems to me we have way more pressing things to be concerned about at this moment in time,, than that.
This country has just had war declared on us by a country that posses nuke weapons and were sitting around playing word games,,,,,WTF????? And sending the likes of rodman and kerry there to talk about it,,,,,
What a bunch of idiots we have in charge now days, but then again,, we've been playing games in Korea for 60 years, so when will anything be done?
Are we going to play games for another 60years while the threats just keep getting bigger and bigger from these third world shit holes????
Sadly,,,, probably so. I'd be willing to bet that if we did finally grow a pair and "Smoke this fucker, once and for all,, it just might make some others wana-be dictators "sit up take notice",, that this country WILL stand up,,,,like for instance,,,,the un nations!! (note no capital letters)= no respect for them.
Just my thoughts,,, but I'm a war monger I guess,, I really don't mind my country being threatened with nukes,,,,,,,,,,,
Fuck you ,,,all you politically correct, pussy politicians,,, grow a pair and protect this country with swift and decisive action once and for all. What to Hell are you waiting for? A strike here?
A country with nukes has just declared war on us for Christs Sake,,,, take action!!!! Don't wait for them to make the first strike!!!
Just a matter of time.

I may be wrong, but I have a strong feeling China is going to put the little slope midget to sleep.. Permanently.
Midget goes nuke, South Korea has to go nuke.. Now we are talking all the dust in the air, not good..
He is squawking like a stuck pig, he wants money, to shut him the frig up.
Hell I don't blame the midget, he squawks countries send him coin..
Louder he squeals, more coin he gets.. Again I may be wrong. But do not be surprised if you see China sweep down and take him on a one way boat ride.
The Orient is thriving financially, last thing they need is trouble.
Then again, nothing like a good war to take peoples minds off the world dwindling economy. Enter Sorryos and the new world order.. IMF...

He said in all honesty, even the Chinese people are not sure on this one. Tough call..
But China is giving Korea millions in food and medical aid.. If they cut that off their toast.. China has a 300 million man Army, well armed.. God forbid it turns into a prolonged ground war, that is a lot of bullets their going to need. With everything on back-order, they may have to use sling shots..

I see that our new pansy ass defense secretary has cancelled a long planned missile test because he's afraid it might upset lil Kim.
2016 can not get here soon enough.
But then Hillary may be next in line to the throne of shame.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
2016 will see another Dumbocrat. Once Nappy announced amnesty for the wets, it was over... His voters are crossing the damn border in droves..
Who does not like Santa Klaus? Even an Independent does not stand a chance against Santa.
Now Nappy is starting the whole bank, come one come all give away again.
Kerry 3 Purple Hearts, swift boat Kerry? In 3 months in country? Last one he got was for a cut finger.
Carpet munching Hitlary? Oh God this country is done. Fineto.

NK pin-up girl. is is a little on the thin side----
little kimbo better get her a bag of rice pretty quick!
Now the Chinese are asking NK to ensure the safety of their expats. Kinda concerning/troublesome, knowing they have a little skin in this game...
China: North Korea Should Ensure Safety of Its Nationals
BEIJING — China deplored rising tension on the Korean peninsula on Sunday but said its embassy was operating normally in the North Korean capital and it asked authorities there to ensure its diplomats and other citizens were kept safe.
China, it said, had asked North Korea "to earnestly ensure the safety of Chinese diplomats in North Korea, in accordance with the Vienna Convention and international laws and norms."
The ministry said China's embassy was "understood" to be operating normally in Pyongyang. China would "protect the legal rights and safety of Chinese citizens and Chinese-invested organizations in North Korea." It did not elaborate.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, addressing a forum on the southern island of Hainan, appeared to refer to the tension when he said no country "should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain."

Willamette College of Law Receives Record Donation
The Peterson Family Foundation, established by Ken and Claudia Peterson, has donated a $2 million endowed gift to the Willamette University College of Law to establish The Willamette Center for Law and Government. It is the largest single gift from an alumnus in the 119-year history of the law school.
"I have expressed to Ken and Claudia our deepest gratitude for believing in our vision for a center of excellence and for investing in its future," said College of Law Dean Symeon Symeonides. "They personify the Willamette motto `not unto ourselves alone are we born.' I am also full of admiration for Ken's meteoric success as a Willamette alumnus, a success that is based solely on hard, honest work and perseverance. His investment in his alma mater reinforces his role as a model for future generations of Willamette students."
Peterson, raised in Hermiston, Oregon, and now a resident of Camas, WA., graduated from the College of Law in 1980. His wife was born and raised in Salem. Ken is CEO of Columbia Ventures Corporation, a private entrepreneurial investment company located in Vancouver, WA., with domestic and international operations primarily in the aluminum and telecommunication industries.
Peterson said, "Given Willamette's proximity to the state capitol and the historic relationship with state government, I thought something with an emphasis on that relationship was particularly relevant. I believe the Center will provide an additional avenue for students to learn about our unique American system of limited government and what makes it so precious in the struggle to maintain liberty in a world that has so often been hostile to freedom."
Symeonides said the center will administer a specialization program in law and government to train students to work effectively in and with government at the national, state, and local levels and provide an impartial forum for the study, discussion and improvement of public policy and the role of government.
The dean added, "The center will also sponsor scholarly research and publications, conferences, distinguished visitors, and a national essay competition on the 10th Amendment which stresses that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." The 10th Amendment is of particular interest to Ken Peterson.
"My honors thesis for my bachelor's degree was about liberty and its importance, so you can see it is a topic I have been interested in for a long time," Peterson said. "I have both participated in and observed government and how the law interacts. I have come to an even greater appreciation for the special genius of the American Constitution and the system of government it set up. I have become more and more concerned about whether and to what extent this system remains as vigilant on behalf of liberty as it once was. The bottom line is that I want to do what I can to help make sure our special American system of government remains vibrant and is one of those things that will be passed along to my children and their children for generations to come."
The Center for Law and Government is one of three new centers of excellence at Willamette. As funding permits, it will be complemented by the Center for Law and Business and the Center for International and Comparative Legal Studies. These three new programs will be modeled after the existing program in Dispute Resolution, which is ranked among the top five such programs in the country.
"Ken Peterson is an astute and successful entrepreneur," said Willamette University President Lee Pelton. "The reputation of our College of Law is clearly enhanced when a man with Ken's level of business acumen commits to this level of investment in Willamette. We are all touched by his and by Claudia's generosity."

The SAG Awards is probably the most "meh" of all awards shows, am I right? Still, that's no reason to ignore the fashion. Why? Because it's fun. Here are some looks from the 20th Annual SAG Awards. Let's go through and pick the looks for BEST, WORST, and WTF.
For more awards show fashion, check out the Golden Globes Awards post.
I don't think Amanda Peet knows how to dress anymore. This is something I'd expect from Chloë Sevigny, and I don't even know if she could pull this off. It's just so…fug. I'm sorry, I know "fug" is played-out, but I cannot summon any other words to accurately describe this dour mess.

Comic-Con International will be making its annual landing at the San Diego Convention Center July 20-23, and you can count on McFarlane Toys to have a strong presence at the show. Our 20' x 20' island booth (#2601 – right across from Diamond Distribution) – manned by courteous, clean, knowledgeable McFarlane personnel – will showcase some of our newest action figure lines.
In addition to our latest toys, members of the Spawn creative team – including penciler Philip Tan, writer David Hine, and inker Danny Miki – will be on hand for exclusive autograph signings. Additional surprise signings are also in the works.
We will also be reviewing artist portfolios all four days of the Con. Unlike previous years when we have conducted the reviews inside the McFarlane Toys booth, this year we will have a company representative upstairs in the Portfolio Review Area of the San Diego Convention Center. For information on where to go, go here. Details on what we will be looking for will be announced in a future news story.
Keep it tuned right here to Spawn.com for more details as they become available.

So you have to write something interesting, something that will make a nice impression to your audience (readers of your blog, your class mates, the staff at the meeting). You know it must be really great, but you don't have any inspiration. You don't have too much time to write the text, so there's a lot of pressure. In fact, what great things can you write when all the great things have already been written? All the ideas that cross your mind are rejected as "not interesting" or "already done". You look around and nothing inspires you. Time goes by and you still haven't written anything.
So you go to Google, type the subject of your article and get a text written by someone else. It's so easy, you don't even have to read it, just put your name next to it in a selfish attempt to gain some appreciation.
Maybe people will never discover your theft, or maybe they just wouldn't care. But how do you feel about that? Breathe deeply and say: do you feel content? Did you do anything to use your knowledge to make the world better? Did you discover anything? You're lazy, selfish and dishonest. But are you also untalented? Don't be a void echo, build an identity and earn your signature!

When you want rich, all-tube amplifier tone that can be sweet or angry and loud, you need the 100-watt Defender V100 combo. At the heart of the V100 are EL34 power tubes that provide defined lows, rich aggressive mids and a sweet top end that cuts through the mix but is never harsh. When partnered with two Celestion® Vintage 30 speakers and a cabinet made with quality plywood, you get an amplifier that sings and screams with unrivaled authority.
The V100 is a two-channel design, each with its own Master Volume control that lets users dial in anything from chunky, medium-gain sounds to scorching, full-on heavy tones. Furthermore, each Volume control has its own Pull Bright function that tightens the low-end and extends the hi-end: perfect for articulate high-gain tones. Bass, Middle and Treble controls provide full tone-shaping capabilities.
The V100 also provides luscious spring Reverb with its own Tone control: a classic Kustom feature from the 1960s. From spacious to cavernous, it's your choice! But then, a step further: we've added Kustom's famous Tremolo and Vibrato circuits from the early days. It's that unique swampy sound you can't get anywhere else!
And when it's time for the gig or the studio, the V100's Speaker-Emulated XLR Direct Out totally nails the amp's overall sound for mixers. A variable, footswitchable Volume Boost that works on either channel makes solos – or those quick fills – stand out in the mix.
A Kustom 3-function footswitch may be used to switch channels, turn the boost on or off, and activate effects. Simply put, the Kustom V100 has the tone, style and performance required to meet the most demanding musical requirements.

text: Dan, one of the greatest tools available to us in this day n age is the ease of access to information. YouTube is a invaluable asset IMO for one learning new techniques in any martial art. I've personally learned many things from ken primoa's YouTube videos; you only can spend so much time in training and only get exposed to so much. Go on YouTube and look up different submissions, takedowns, ten weeks, etc, then when you are in practice, try out some of the things you saw online. It really helps with creativity.

My understanding is that this parable predates Jesus. If this is the case, Jesus was using something that man created and in typical Jesus fashion turning it on it's head to address the hypocrisy of those who maintained that belief (Pharisees). This parable isn't about heaven and hell, it's about first is last....last is first. It's about religion vs spirituality. It's about those who believe they are in good standing with God...but don't love the least of these.
Luke 16:19-31Standard knee jerk response: "This can't be a parable because Jesus used a proper name and Jesus never uses a proper name in other parables."
THE LAW WAS A TUTOR TO LEAD US TO CHRIST...OUR SAVIOUR......... MY POV THE RICH MAN THAT LIVED IN SHAMELESS LUXURY WAS SATAN THAT TOOK OVER THE DOMINION OF THE EARTH[ALL THESE KINGDOMS I WILL GIVE TO YOU FOR ONE ACT OF WORSHIP] CHRIST THOUGH HE WAS RICH AS HEIR OF THE WHOLE CREATION..MADE HIMSELF POOR FOR OUR SAKES THE POOR MAN SIGNIFIED THE SONS OF aDAM WHO HAD BEEN MADE POOR BY THE ROBBER,THEIF AND KILLER SATAN...jESUS WAS SHOWING THAT WHEN MEN DIED THE WERE CARRIED TO THE BOSOM OF FATHER.......SATAN AS THE RICH MAN..HAD FIVE BROTHERS=OFFSPRING OF VIPERS JESUS REPLY THAT THEY HAVE MOSES AND THE PROPHETS LET THEM LISTEN TO THEM= SATAN USING THE LAW AND WORD OF GOD/PROPHETS TO KILL /CONDEMN MANKIND[SINS LAW] FOR JESUS SAID 'THE COMMANDMENT WAS UNTO LIFE" NOT DEATH AS SATAN USED IT FOR....AND AS SUCH GRACE WOULD NOT BE EXTENDED TO THEM...FOR AS THEY HAD JUDGED MEN[AS UNWORTHY OF LIFE] SO TOO..THEY WOULD RECEIVE THAT JUDGEMENT... YOU SEE..LET NO MAN EVER THINK THAT WHEN HE IS TEMPTED THAT HE IS TEMPTED OF GOD jESUS TOLD THE RICH MAN..THAT IF THEY DO NOT LISTEN TO MOSES AND THE PROPHETS [WHICH LEAD TO CHRIST] THEY WOULD NOT BE CONVINCED EVEN IF SOMEONE RAISES THE DEAD WHICH IS CHRIST...THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD[I AM THE RESURRECTION]
So since Cain slaying Abel was the first murder. Then it follows that Cain must be the devil since he committed the first murder and was a murderer from the beginning ...I don't think so.
Hi Illuin...but I don't believe satan was ever a holy angel. the Lamb was 'slain" before the founding of the world..did 'satan' do it..as the original murderer from the beginning.? did he slay the Lamb before this world began? and actually God forewarned Cain..that sin is a demon crouching at the door..and he [Cain] should get mastery over him
yes and evil tool/wicked contrast......I see the abomination of desolation as he that should not be...a wing of the temple= a spirit in the temple of God [or sin entered..into man and all died]

The match has been scheduled for Sunday rather than Saturday as Chelsea face a trip to Russia to take on Rubin Kazan in the Europa League on April 11, and the FA needed to make a decision before the Blues' quarter-final replay with United on April 1.
Championship side Millwall will therefore take on Wigan, who have reached the last four for the first time, in the other semi-final at Wembley at 5.15pm on Saturday April 13.
Millwall and Manchester City have been allocated the west end of the stadium and will receive 31,514 tickets.
Wigan and the other semi-finalists will be given 31,863 tickets.
The winning clubs in both games earn £900,000 from the FA Cup Prize Fund, with the runners-up collecting £450,000.

Around the same time that the NBC stars were celebrating their new fall lineup, Fox's Upfront presentation for advertisers was also happening in NYC. Both channels brought in their bigtime stars, but we feel Fox may just have inched ahead. This was also, in part, because of the news we published yesterday that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato were officially named as the newest judges on The X Factor.
But they were, by no means, not the only stars who came to the presentation. Fellow The X Factor judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid were also there. A ton of the Glee cast showed up as well. Lea Michele led the way in a lovely, delicate Pucci dress with Casadei shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Naya Rivera wore the one mullet dress we've ever liked, a Lublu number that she paired with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. Jenna Ushkowitz wore a summery Rebecca Minkoff design, completing the trio of ladies from the show. Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer and Darren Criss represented the show's dudes. New Girl star Zooey Deschanel was also there in a Carven dress and Miu Miu heels, as was her co-star Hannah Simone. And surprise surprise, a casually dressed Mila Kunis came for the event as well. Take a look at all of them, in the gallery below.

Energy: The challenge in numbers
Why a better future rests on a better energy system
The environmental costs of energy are high — and getting higher
65% of global warming pollution is estimated to come from energy generation and use.1
We're paying in dollars, too
$25 billion paid by consumers every year for electricity estimated to be lost to inefficient transmission and distribution.2
$150 billion lost every year to power outages and blackouts in the U.S.3
We can do better with smart, clean energy
Energy efficiency: what if we just didn't throw energy away?
$108 billion spent each year on energy bills for commercial buildings.4
30% of energy used by commercial buildings could be cut through investments in energy efficiency.5
Smart grids will help us manage energy flow
We're about to spend $1.5 trillion to upgrade and expand the electric grid over the next 25 years.6 What if we make the grid smarter? (Here's what a smart grid is.)
30% cut in global warming pollution from the electric sector with a fully deployed smart grid.7
25% cut in global warming pollution from transportation with a fully deployed smart grid.8
Clean energy is part of a bright economic future
3.7% total job growth from 1998-2007.9
9% growth in clean energy jobs from 1998-2007.10
