Pembroke writer launches seriesAugust 19th, 2010 by admin
It's been nine years since she graduated from high school, but Pembroke native Stacy Padula remembers clearly what it felt like to be a teenager.
"It was such a war zone," she said of high school. "You'd have somebody say something about you and you'd be like, 'I don't even know where they got that.' […] Between the rumors, the gossip, the fake friendships and the drugs … it was definitely a war zone."
A 2001 graduate of Silver Lake Regional High School, Padula has good memories, too, and is still best friends with people she went to school with. But she also believes kids may not get an honest picture of what high school is like before they get there.
"I grew up reading a lot of books and it kind of painted a picture in my mind of what high school was going to be like, and then I stepped into it and it wasn't anything like that," Padula said. "It's not Baby-Sitters Club; it's not Sweet Valley High. I just felt like kids really needed books that were realistic to kind of prepare them."
Padula hopes to help fill that gap with a series of novels called "Montgomery Lake High." The first in the series, "The Right Person," was released this month, published by Connecticut-based Eloquent Books, part of Strategic Publishing Group.
Padula started writing the series when she was in high school and rediscovered the books after college.
"I read through them and I was shocked that at such a young age I knew what half the stuff I wrote about was," she said. "I decided to edit them and write additional books to kind of connect them, to explain how one got to the other, and added in bits of wisdom I picked up along the way."
She sent out query letters to about 70 literary agencies, found one interested in representing her and then shopped the book around to publishers.
"I started sending out the letters in January 2009 and got an offer by October 2009 from a publisher. I felt like it was forever, but evidently it can take a lot longer than that. I ended up signing with them in November," Padula said.
She is currently working on the second book in the series and said in total she has written five — though she doesn't have plans to stop anytime soon.
"I just want to keep writing. I want to know what happens next, because I don't know when I sit down what I'm going to write but I know my characters," she said. "It's like watching a movie. You can't wait for the end."
The first book tells the story of characters Chris Dunkin and Courtney Angeletti (later books center around other characters at the fictional school).
"Chris is realizing he's kind of gotten in over his head with partying at a young age and it's really affecting his life. One day, he meets this girl and he's just drawn to her, he just sees a light about her. Something's different and he just wants to know what it is," Padula said. "Courtney, the girl, had been raised as a Christian and she's very strong in her faith and was able to not get pulled into what Chris and his friends are into. […] She's dealing with getting pulled into high school and getting to know Chris' friends and how all of a sudden she's feeling like she doesn't fit in and wanting to get accepted."
Padula said the books do follow a spiritual theme — the author grew up attending St. Thecla Church in Pembroke and now attends New Hope Church in Norwell — but that it isn't overwhelming.
"There's a Christian message to it, but not like a rigid, follow-the-law message — more like the law of liberty and love and pursuing a relationship with Christ as opposed to following all these rules thinking that's going to set you free," she said.
Padula grew up in Pembroke, moving to Kingston her sophomore year of high school. After graduating from Silver Lake, she attended Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston where she studied architecture and interior design, temporarily putting her writing on hold. After college, Padula worked at an architecture firm for several years but felt something was missing.
"I wanted to be doing something that helped. I wanted to be more involved with people and doing something I felt was useful and utilizing more of my talents and gifts," she said.
Padula got connected with JBG Tutors, a company that helps kids work on certain subjects and study for tests like the SAT and ACT. She recently was promoted to program director when the company expanded to JBG Educational Group, now doing career counseling and consulting as well as tutoring. She lives in Rockland and works mainly in the Metro West area of Boston, though the business is starting to expand.
"I love my job. I literally wake up every day and I can't believe I get paid to do this," Padula said. "It also leaves me time to write."
Padula's first book, "Montgomery Lake High #1: The Right Person," is available now on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Eventually, it will be available in whatever bookstores decide to order it through the distributor, Padula said.
She said she is open to the idea of doing book signings or speaking to kids at school about her books.
"I believe in the message behind the books, so anything that's going to reach out and help kids find out about it, I'm open to," she said. "[…] I figure the books will get in the hands of whoever is meant to read them. My hope is that they meet them wherever they're at, and that it can prepare younger kids for high school or encourage kids who are in high school to kind of rise above it and to hold their ground, not buckle under the pressure."

Writers Literary Script Consultant Named in the Top National
Creative Screenwriting Magazine's BEST SCRIPT ANALYSTS AND CONSULTANTS AS RATED BY SCREENWRITERS report just came out and Anton Diether of Writers Literary is ranked! This report is based on a survey conducted over a period of weeks from December 2009 to February, 2010. More than 80,000 recipients of the CS Weekly E-Zine, published by Creative Screenwriting, were invited to take the survey on line at surveymonkey.com, a professional surveying forms service.
"I'm pleased be included in Creative Screenwriting's report," stated Diether, " but most of the credit should go to Writers Literary's expert staff of editors whom I have personally handpicked and trained to assist screenwriters around the world."
The survey received nearly 1,000 responses covering 212+* script analysts and consultants. About 100 responses were dropped from the final study because of confusing or incomplete data entry, leaving 905 responses in the final study. The full data set was analyzed for totals, ranges, and average scores. This report individually names and reports on the top 164+* analysts and consultants as rated by screenwriters.
ANTON DIETHER is the writer of the 1998 Hallmark TV miniseries Moby Dick, the highest-rated long-form show in basic cable history, nominated for five Emmy and two Golden Globe Awards; the 1999 ABC-TV miniseries Cleopatra; and the 2002 Hallmark Channel miniseries Stranded. Anton developed Beauty and the Beast for Fox Family, Land of Oz for Disney, Gold Fever for Phoenix Pictures, Operation Greylord for Showtime, and Taj Mahal for Threshold Entertainment.

The most serious of these was near Ironton Park south of Ouray. The fire was spotted from Highway 550 on National Forest land above Crystal Lake Reservoir at around 2:30 p.m.
Ouray Volunteer Firefighters were the first to be dispatched to the scene, hiking up a steep trail to the fire site in Full Moon Basin at around 10,750 feet, for the initial suppression effort. A battalion of 40 U.S. Forest Service firefighters stationed in the area soon joined them, and took over the attack.
The fire grew to about an acre, with flames leaping up to 100 feet into the air, before it was suppressed. Three firefighting helicopters aided in the effort, dipping water out of Crystal Lake and dropping it on the fire.
On Wednesday morning, July 3, Forest Service firefighters and helicopters remained on the scene, "mopping up," as Ouray District Ranger Tammy Randall-Parker put it.
"Having prepositioned resources available in the area helped us quickly get a handle on this fire yesterday," Randall-Parker said. "It's really good we had them around."
Firefighters from Ridgway, Log Hill and the Bureau of Land Management responded to several other lightning strike fires on Tuesday morning, most of them on Log Hill Mesa, successfully suppressing them before they could grow into true blazes.

Height: 6'0" Weight: 260 Age: 33 Experience: 11th season College: East Carolina Drafted: n/a
Posted: 7/29/2013 8:50pm et
The Baltimore Ravens have re-signed free-agent FB Vonta Leach to a two-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: After all the speculation that he was headed to the Dolphins or Texans, Leach isn't going anywhere, returning to the team he's spent the past 2 seasons with. His fantasy value is another matter, though, as he has only 279 yards and 1 TD over those 2 campaigns.
Posted: 6/27/2013 6:40pm et
Up to five teams are still in the running for free agent FB Vonta
Leach, including the Houston Texans, the Miami Dolphins, the New
York Giants, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens.
'Nobody has been excluded,' agent Ralph Vitolo said. 'You have to
put Miami, Houston and the Giants in the first three. 'Kansas City
is also involved and Baltimore is included in this also.'
Huddle Up: Who said the FB is dead in the NFL? Leach has helped pave the way
for 2 of the league's best backs in recent seasons, including Arian
Foster's breakout 2010 with the Texans and the Ravens' Ray Rice.
Posted: 6/23/2013 2:07pm et
The New York Giants are considering increasing their offer to free-agent FB Vonta Leach (Ravens) because they are concerned about FB Henry Hynoski's knee injury. The team was hoping to sign Leach to a one-year deal worth the minimum salary.
Huddle Up: The Giants could use Leach as Hynoski is a candidate to begin the season on the PUP list, but the Dolphins remain the favorite to land the former Raven/Texan.
Posted: 6/18/2013 12:40pm et
Free-agent RB Vonta Leach (Ravens) said he'll decide on a new team within two weeks, but he prefers to sign with the Houston Texans.
Huddle Up: Leach had a productive 4-plus-year run with the Texans before signing with the Ravens in 2011, but Houston reportedly likes what it has in new FB signee Greg Jones so we'll have to see if there's room for Leach on the roster.
Posted: 6/11/2013 5:25pm et
The Baltimore Ravens announced they waived FB Vonta Leach. FB Kyle Juszczyk is now the starter.
Huddle Up: The youth movement continues in Baltimore as Leach's 2-year run with the team has ended in favor of the 4th-round pick from Harvard.


text: This was a great recipe! I left out the raw zucchini, as I'm not fond of it. I used arugula and radicchio as the greens. I also made homemade Fresh Herbal Vinaigrette as the dressing. A good dressing can make or break a salad. Homemade is usually best. This recipe is a keeper!

Well, I guess everyone vanished, lol. Everyone except for me and I am still doing my challenge, 7 weeks into it now with a 13lb, 15 inch loss so far! I had to go buy new pants and new bras and throw out most everything I had cuz I shrunk so much. I look down and can't recognize myself, lol. I have more energy than I know what to do with and the strength I have now is awesome. I stopped writing out my daily diet plan, cuz it just became routine and I use my cell phone alarm to let me know when meal times are. Needless to say, my diet is spot-on perfect and I have never felt better. I totally kicked the sugar/processed carb addiction. The 5/25 plan is awesome!! I will post again at 12 weeks and then my final amazing transformation pics at week 18.
I hope everyone is doing ok, miss you guys :))
Transformation.com... 18 weeks to the new you, No Excuses and No Defeat!
WOW! Congrats Lisa! I am on week 3 of my first challange. I am finding my energy level is so much better, the diet has also become second nature but i am still planning my days. I plan on sticking with this for at least 18 weeks before i take a week off at the beach. Hopefully looking like a new me! Keep up the good work!
@ - Andys10 that is awesome! What workout plan are you doing, the old BFL or the new 5/25 plan? Don't get discouraged if you don't see much of a difference at first, cuz it takes at least 8 weeks for the fat to actually really start moving. That is what got me discouraged on my first challenge and I just about gave up because of it. I'm so glad that I switched plans and tried it again.
Looking forward to your updates :))
I assume it is the old plan, I am not sure how to tell… I am such a noobie! A work buddy let me borrow his book, I read it and it really made sense to me and motivated me and my wife to give it a shot. She has been up every morning with me at 4:30AM hitting the gym by 5AM to workout 6 days a week! She is my hero! We both work full time, have 2 daughters, and own our own business. We are both staying motivated and interested and have witnessed 7-8 pounds of weight loss in the first 2 weeks! It has been such a great journey doing this with her. I cant wait to start really seeing the 8-12 week results!
If you're doing the high-point routine, which is upping the weight and lowering the reps, then that is the old BFL plan. Bill designed a new plan, which is the 5/25 plan. It takes less time, requires less planning, and seems to give faster results. You can find it here...
UBWO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYEVZTUHc-s
LBWO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygIfbKYLTvg&feature=relmfu
Cardio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfTr1F5nwgY&feature=relmfu
Bill's new site, Transformation.com... http://www.transformation.com/ also focuses more on the internal 'stuff' that we hang onto, cuz lots of people hang onto weight because of emotional stuff, so he has designed 18 steps to help people work through those. It's mostly about changing the way you see things and the thoughts you think, from negative to positive. That is what I have been doing for the last 6-ish weeks and it's made all the difference compared to the old BFL routine.
7-8lbs of loss in two weeks is an awesome result if you ask me! I didn't see many results at all on my BFL challenge, which is why I switched to the new 5/25 plan. If the BFL plan is working for you then stick with it and maybe give the new 5/25 plan a try next time around (if you do it again that is). That is what lots of people do so that their body does not get used to the same routines.
And yay to your wife for getting up and doing this with you. I just think that is soooo awesome! Do keep me updated on how you do. I'm still here even if I don't post often and will reply :)
Hey stranger,
Yes I am still alive, although I have not had a great start to the new years in terms of workouts.
I had a holiday binge xmas to new years. Then right after New Years I got sick with a nasty cough/cold that kept me down for 3-4 weeks. Then I hit a dear with my car and felt that a little bit. Wife had surgery so I was keeping an eye on her, etc....
So life happened, some excuses, lack of motivation, etc. I can feel the difference and the added weight/padding on me and haven't hit that pissed off point yet to get my butt back to the gym.
I am so happy that you are doing so well and are seeing GREAT results.
I am still lurking here, but am very disappointed with myself right now.
First of all Paul... {{hugs}} and don't be too hard on yourself. Sometimes life is just really overwhelming. You'll get back to it, you just have other stuff to deal with right now and it really sounds like life is ganging up on you. I did the same thing during our last challenge, remember? I had to reach bottom sometimes to get back on track. I made the decision on New Years to move out in June/July and file for divorce... my rock bottom and my reason to live again. I just about gave up after that last challenge, till I finally got angry with myself and got back on track and you will too, just don't beat yourself up over it... life does happen and the good thing is that there is always a new tomorrow on the way, you'll get there... and we'll be right here waiting for you and supporting you when you do make it back :)
Just try to take care of yourself

The Honors Program is based on the close reading and vigorous discussion of a curriculum of "great books" comprising what was aptly described by Matthew Arnold as "The best that has been thought and said."
Students in the Philosophy Bachelor's Degree Program or Literature Bachelor's Degree Program would benefit greatly from advanced study as students of the Honors Program. Our Honors Program brings students into contact with great works of such writers as Homer, Plato, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Jefferson, Kant, Marx, Blessed John Paul II, and others. Both analytical reading and critical discussion in seminar format is the norm for Honors classes to air and give due attention to the ultimate questions of life.
The aim of these seminars is truth. Together, students and professors seek the truth through the writings of the great authors, examine their errors, and generally delight in the goodness of their mutual pursuit.
Thus, guided always by the teaching authority of the Church and the standards of a quality Catholic higher education, classes consider such questions as the nature of man, his place and purpose before God, the universe, and the community of men. We hope that this mutual pursuit will develop a community of scholars within which students will discuss, debate, ponder, write, and thereby, learn in the highest liberal arts tradition.
To graduate as an Honors scholar from Franciscan University, a student must successfully complete 32 credit hours of Honors work or the equivalent of eight 4-credit Honors seminars. This requirement is met by taking one 4-credit Honors seminar each semester for 8 semesters at the University. These Honors seminars satisfy the entire humanities and social science core and 4 of 5 courses in the communications core.
Students must complete an Honors Program application, they normally must present a cumulative high school average of B+ or its equivalent, and attain a score of 1220 on the SAT or 27 on the ACT. Ultimately, admissions are subject to the judgment and discretion of the Honors Program Admissions Committee.
Students are required to maintain an overall cumulative quality point average of 3.0. Failure to do so will make those students subject to dismissal from the Honors Program upon an evaluation by the Honors Program Chairman and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Honors students whose cumulative QPA drops below a 2.0 will be subject to immediate dismissal from the program upon an evaluation by the Honors Program Chairman and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Honors students are also required to maintain a 3.0 QPA in all Honors Program course work. Honors students who complete their honors course work with a QPA below 3.0 will receive all credit for each course but will not receive the Honors Scholar notation on their diplomas or permanent transcripts.
The honors student who consistently performs below 3.0 in honors courses will be subject to an evaluation by the Honors Program Chairman and the Vice President for Academic Affairs to determine whether or not the student should continue in the Honors Program.
Because of the growing number of transfer students to Franciscan University, we understand that all students who qualify for the Honors Program may not attend the University for a full eight semesters. The following provisions accommodate the needs of those students who desire to pursue the challenges of the Honors Program, but who will not complete eight semesters at Franciscan University:
Franciscan University students and transfer students who will remain at the University for at least six semesters may enter the Honors Program as sophomores, on the basis of availability if the following conditions are met: :
Transfer students who will remain at Franciscan University for at least four semesters and who have participated in a comparable Honors Program at their previous colleges or universities may enter the Honors Program as juniors on a space available basis, once the following conditions have been met:
Honors students who decide to study for a semester in Gaming, Austria, shall register for Honors GA, e.g., Hon 202 GA, etc. These students will be required to read the books assigned for the course independently and will write a final essay examination (2 hours, pass/fail) during the time for final exams in Gaming. The examination question will be provided by the Director of the Honors Program. The Gaming Program Director will mail the completed examination to the Director of the Honors Program in Steubenville for evaluation, and he will assign a pass or fail grade for the course based upon performance on the examination. This work will be counted as a four-credit class for purposes of the minimum number of credits that students are required to take in Gaming. Students will not be required to pay any extra fees or tuition for this procedure.
Since, as a norm, students study in Gaming during either the sophomore or junior years, three copies of each book required for sophomore Honors seminars, namely Hon 201 and 202, and for the junior Honors seminars, namely Hon 301 and 302, will be kept in the library in Gaming and will be available for student use. Students who elect to go to Gaming during their freshman or senior year will be required to provide their own course books.
Page 19 The total course load to be taken by the Honors student in the semester abroad program may be reduced to 12 credit hours plus the Honors course. Every honors student must take Seminar VIII (HON 402): The 20th Century on the Steubenville campus for credit.

Temple Theatre
201 N. Washington Avenue,
7 people favorited this theater
A beautiful movie palace from the 1920's located in downtown Saginaw with a wonderful sound rising out of the pit theatre organ. Originally operated by the W.S. Butterfield chain, this theatre was opened on July 28, 1927, by the same people that constructed the Fox Theatre in Detroit the next year.
The Temple Organ Society was mostly responsible for keeping the theatre maintained and open in the past. The theatre was closed in early-2002.
Restored to its original grandeur in 2003, the Temple Theatre was reopened in November, 2003, featuring some of the same style of vaudeville acts that were performed when the theater originally opened.

A Barton theater organ size 3/11 was installed in the Temple Theater in 1927.
Here are two more photos of the Temple theater.
More photos can be found here.
After comparing the current to the past photos I noticed that the vertical marquee reading TEMPLE is not on the theatre facade anymore and it should be as I personally don't like the current look.
In fact, you can see in the current photos where the vertical marquee was once attached between the 2 round exterior designs.
Here are some 1985 photos:
This is a recent photo.
Theatre Historical Society will be visiting this theater during our 2011 Conclave – "The Michigan Roads Less Traveled" June 21-25. See the website for details www.historictheatres.org

Supporting ServiceLoader in Standalone ModeDavid Bosschaert Jan 11, 2011 9:21 AM
While I was implementing URL Handler support as per the OSGi core specification I did this by plugging into the ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory that is provided by JBoss Modules.
This works when running inside AS7 (but: MODULES-44 and MODULES-66) but there are a number of issues that still need to be worked out for standalone mode. My commit (https://github.com/jbosgi/jbosgi-framework/commit/01e9741c296f4849bd48b091c5e53cd5cf6f56af) contains a number of hacks for standalone mode simply to get it working, but I'm hoping that we find a better solution for this.
Some of the things that I had to work through...
Making the System Module Loader aware of the OSGi Framework Module
The ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory looks up modules by calling Module.getSystemModuleLoader().loadModule(identifier). When running in standalone mode the framework module loader is the OSGi Module Loader. However this module loader isn't known to the System Module loader. At the following location I put in a hack to set the OSGi Module Loader in the System Module Loader:
This is clearly not the way to go. An alternative might be to set the System Property "system.module.loader" to the OSGiModuleLoader class name before booting the system. This works to a certain degree, but since the instance is stored in a static final SystemModuleLoaderHolder.INSTANCE variable, it can only be initialized once. This is a problem for the unit tests in JBoss OSGi as they initialize the system repeatedly (e.g. to test various initialization options). This can probably be worked around by putting a holder in there instead of the real instance, but that's a workaround...
Another potential problem with the system property approach is that the system module loader instance has to be created by JBoss Modules using a noarg constructor, which limits the initialization options. Both issues could be resolved by providing an API to set and reset the System Module Loader (MODULES-67).
Using the ServiceLoader with the classloaders as set up in Standalone Mode
The ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory at some point uses the java.util.ServiceLoader on the OSGi Framework module classloader to load the resource META-INF/services/java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory. It then loads the classes found in there (i.e. org.jboss.osgi.framework.plugin.internal.URLHandlerFactory) using that classloader and instantiates them. This is isolated in the FrameworkServiceLoaderTestCase. This didn't work in standalone mode. To make this work I had to export META-INF/services and org.jboss.osgi.framework.plugin.internal locations from the framework. This is done in SystemPackagesPluginImpl.getInternalFrameworkPackages() together with changes in FrameworkLocalLoader, SystemLocalLoader and ModuleManagerPlugin which I'm not very happy with. Hopefully there is a cleaner solution to this. None of these changes are needed when running in AS7.
1. Re: Supporting ServiceLoader in Standalone ModeThomas Diesler Jan 12, 2011 1:04 AM (in response to David Bosschaert)
I refactored the URL handler logic such that it does not use the ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory in STANDALONE. The trick is to initialize the URLHandlerPlugin before modules is accessed for the first time
// The properties on the BundleManager are mutable as long the framework is not created // Plugins may modify these properties in their respective constructor if (initialProperties != null) properties.putAll(initialProperties); // Register the URL handler plugin plugins.put(URLHandlerPlugin.class, new URLHandlerPluginImpl(this)); // Initialize the default module loader ModuleLoader mlProp = (ModuleLoader)getProperty(ModuleLoader.class.getName()); systemModuleLoader = mlProp != null ? mlProp : Module.getSystemModuleLoader(); // Get/Create the service container ServiceContainer scProp = (ServiceContainer)getProperty(ServiceContainer.class.getName()); serviceContainer = scProp != null ? scProp : ServiceContainer.Factory.create(); // Register the framework plugins plugins.put(BundleDeploymentPlugin.class, new BundleDeploymentPluginImpl(this)); plugins.put(BundleStoragePlugin.class, new BundleStoragePluginImpl(this));
The factory themselves delegate to the plugin where the logic lives. The framework itself exports META-INF/services
private static Set<String> getExportedPaths(BundleManager bundleManager) { SystemPackagesPlugin plugin = bundleManager.getPlugin(SystemPackagesPlugin.class); HashSet<String> paths = new HashSet<String>(plugin.getExportedPaths()); paths.add("META-INF/services"); return paths; }
Only the url package is exported from the framework.
@Override public List<String> getFrameworkPackages() { List<String> packages = new ArrayList<String>(); packages.add("org.jboss.msc.service"); packages.add("org.jboss.osgi.deployment.deployer"); packages.add("org.jboss.osgi.deployment.interceptor"); packages.add("org.jboss.osgi.framework.url"); packages.add("org.jboss.osgi.modules"); packages.add("org.osgi.framework;version=1.5"); packages.add("org.osgi.framework.hooks;version=1.0"); packages.add("org.osgi.framework.hooks.service;version=1.0"); packages.add("org.osgi.framework.launch;version=1.0"); packages.add("org.osgi.service.condpermadmin;version=1.1"); packages.add("org.osgi.service.packageadmin;version=1.2"); packages.add("org.osgi.service.permissionadmin;version=1.2"); packages.add("org.osgi.service.startlevel;version=1.1"); packages.add("org.osgi.service.url;version=1.0"); packages.add("org.osgi.util.tracker;version=1.4"); return packages; }
Could you please add test coverage in jbosgi so that this can be tested in AS and the Runtime?

Ah, yes that's another option that I didn't consider - Thanks!

Our tips on the next pages will give you ideas for setting up your tree, lighting it, keeping it fresh, and decorating it to be beautiful.
- Keep Your Tree Fresh and Green
Cut the stump of the tree with a fresh cut and set it in water immediately. A fresh-cut tree will absorb several quarts of water right from the start. So it's important to check and refill the water level several times a day for the first week. You can cut down on frequency later. Be sure to place you Christmas tree in a stand that has a large water reservoir and keep it filled.
- Christmas Tree Preservative
You can
caring for Christmas trees.
- Putting Lights and Decorations on the Tree
When decorating your Christmas tree, put lights on first, then garlands, then the ornaments.
- Work From the Inside Out
Start arranging Christmas tree lights on the branches near the base of the tree. Weave strings of lights along the branches "inside," then move to the outer edges of the branches.
- Placement of Ornaments
Don't hang all your ornament on the tips of the branches. Place ornaments and other decorations 'inside' your tree to add depth and interest.
- Basic Ornaments for Fill
Start by arranging the "filler ornaments" evenly spaced around the tree. This would include basic solid color balls that are easily found at discount stores in a wide range of colors to coordinate and enhance your decorating scheme. You'll need about 20 "filler ornaments" for every 2 feet of Christmas tree.
- Special Themed, Collectible Ornaments
Mix one-of-a-kind special ornaments between the basic ornaments. Plan to use at least 10 special themed ornaments for every 2 feet of tree. As your collection grows, put the special ornaments closer together.

Read some of the best security articles to appear in GCFlash:
Enhanced Security In Wake of Target Breach
When we covered this story last in the January 7, 2014 edition of GCFlash, much was yet unknown about the massive breach aimed at Target stores. We've since learned Target was not alone.
Neiman Marcus, Sally Beauty, and at least six other stores were also victims. Word spreading through security circles indicates a major restaurant chain and hotel chain are among those who were breached. While specific names are not yet being released due to confidentially in a case still unfolding, Michaels craft stores and Sears are rumored to be among them.Read more
Credit Card Insecurity
Panic spread through America on December 19, 2013. The news was huge. As many as 40 million credit and debit cards were compromised in a breach that occurred in Target stores between November 27 and December 15.
Update: Target announced new estimates of compromised cards on January 10, believing that somewhere between 70-110 million customers were affected by the breach.
Not online shoppers. But consumers who shopped at a brick and mortar establishment, swiping their cards with confidence.
A well-respected national chain under attack from the onset of the holiday shopping season. Those lured in by Black Friday deals they couldn't refuse. Turns out they got more than they bargained for.Read more
Scams and Scammers
More often than not it's unfounded. Yet whenever the telephone rings at an unusually early hour, you can't avoid that gnawing sensation in the pit of your stomach. You brace yourself to hear whatever bad news occurred overnight.
It happened just this morning. When the phone rang at 7:30, my instincts proved correct. Fortunately, nobody had died. But I was very lucky that the good folks at Global Support LLC were notified that my computer had downloaded a bad virus that could cause a lot of trouble. And they were the very folks who could rid my system of this nasty bug.
No doubt I would have learned how much they were charging for this service and asked for a credit card number had they not hung up on me immediately when I asked for a phone number to call them back.
'Tis the season, folks. But I don't mean the holidays are approaching.
While it's always scam season of one sort or another, there's a perfect storm brewing right now. Scammers are opportunistic. And we're seeing a rare set of events that are giving them plenty to fill their coffers.Read more
It's the holiday season. Decorating. Festivities. Goodwill. Shopping. Fake FedEx and UPS tracking notices.
We've seen the ploy before. An email alerts you of a package coming your way. Open the attachment for tracking information. Those that do get a payload package delivering malware rather than holiday goodies.
So every year we issue the same alert. Don't open an unsolicited attachment.
Legitimate tracking notifications from both FedEx and UPS include the name of the vendor and date the shipper received the package. They embed a link into the message body for those that want delivery details. Not an attachment.
If you did make a purchase from the listed vendor around that date, it's safe to assume the message legitimate. Any doubt, track the package through the vendor's website.
Because the stakes just went up for those that open unsolicited attachments.Read more
The old idiom was "Another day, another cyber threat." Yet lately, it seems more like every hour that we learn of a new risk to our online safety. There has been a flurry of activity in the cybercrime world as of late.
Don't think for a minute that you're safe as long as you don't bank online. Most every function today depends on information. Information stored in a database.
Use a credit card, write a check, pay your utility bill, buy your groceries, use your smartphone. There's a record of each and every transaction. A record that can be compromised if someone hacks into the computer system charged with safeguarding your personal information.
I'm not trying to scare you here. Well, maybe a just little bit. You wouldn't take this seriously otherwise.Read more
It's called spearphishing. And it may ultimately be responsible for the fall of many great nations.
We first discussed spearphishing in our June 14, 2011 issue. The article revealed the nature of this type of cyber attack and gave a couple of instances where it had been used to compromise the security of U.S. companies.
Including security vendor RSA.
We're now learning the source of these attacks. And they go much deeper than we initially feared.Read more
It's not a matter of IF you'll be hacked any longer. It's wondering WHEN.
Java has made the news highlights over the past week with news of a zero-day vulnerability. Commentators will tell you to disable the plug-in.
But what does this all really mean? And will it help?Read more
I did it. I've often read that anybody could become a scam victim, but never believed it could happen to me.
Online security is my pet subject. I read about it, I write about it. I knew what to look for, what to avoid.
The email appeared legitimate by every measure. Words were spelled correctly. The grammar and punctuation were proper. It was crafted by a business writer, not a Nigerian shyster.
I knew the bank that issued my credit card was planning new products for their customer's security. I recognized the name appearing in my inbox to be the person who was facilitating the program.
Everything appeared legitimate. So I didn't suspect a thing when I read the email announcing an enhanced credit card monitoring service. All I needed to do was answer a couple of quick questions.
My busy schedule didn't allow opportunity to revisit this request before the deadline. I'd better do it now if I wanted full protection.
The product was tied to my online login, so the last question required my credentials to process. No sooner did I click "Submit" when I had that uh-oh moment.Read more
It didn't take long. Regular readers may remember our coverage of the Stuxnet virus, those who don't remember the article can read it below.
We described how Stuxnet was the first of its kind in targeting, and subsequently destroying, machinery. We detailed how this type of threat can spell doom should one nation attack another's infrastructure, such as their water supply. And that we could be seeing a new type of warfare conducted in cyberspace rather than the battlefield.
A group called Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters is claiming responsibility for a wave of threats targeting U.S. banks. The group has been associated with Hamas.
And it really wasn't too hard since malware build kits are readily available on criminal websites. Tool kits like those described in our coverage of the ZeuS Trojan in the August 17, 2010 issue of GCFlash
The threat is so high that the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (FS-ISAC) has raised the U.S. banking industry's cyberthreat level from "elevated" to "high". This is like the Dept. of Homeland Security telling us we're in imminent danger of a terrorist strike.Read more
This one might be as hard to extinguish as a California wildfire.
For a primer, read our Stuxnet article that appeared in the April 10th edition of GCFlash (article below).
Now that you have the gist of the scope of cyber warfare, multiply it by 20. You now have the size and complexity of Flame, aka Flamer or sKyWIper.Read more
You may have seen the term "Stuxnet" appear in news headlines. You likely rolled your eyebrows thinking "not another one" before scanning the next article for something newsworthy.
No precautions necessary for the average computer user for this one. It doesn't target home computers or mobile devices. It doesn't try to steal credentials or present a security threat to consumers. It wasn't created by a bored teenager with more talent than scruples.
Just imagine a cyber attack capable of disrupting New York City's power grid. Unthinkable chaos would ensue as engineers scramble to repair the damage.
Worse yet, consider a worm capable of dismantling America's defense system.Read more
GCFlash readers may have figured out by now that I take online security pretty seriously. I have to restrain myself from covering the topic too often in this newsletter. I'm afraid of the overkill factor where a subject is so over-saturated that people will overlook it. Ho-hum... another day, another data breach.
Life's day-to-day functions hold constant demand. So what do we do with information we're already familiar with? We turn a deaf ear. There are too many other issues clamoring for our attention.
But this time we're not talking about a new attack. We're talking about a massive tidal wave of attacks targeting some pretty large victims. And eventually, every single one of us.Read more
Had we published GCFlash yesterday, May 23rd, our day in history would have been the 1934 death of Bonnie and Clyde. Just reading that fact got my cyber-gears turning.
The Depression-era spurred a wave of gangster activity. The country had just lost 38 percent of its wealth. There were no jobs, foreclosures were rampant. Soup kitchens overflowed.
Capitalism and government officials took the blame. The people revolted. (Starting to sound familiar?) Many took to a life of crime.
John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Faced Nelson and Machine Gun Kelly terrorized towns with their crime sprees. But perhaps none became quite as famous as a young Texas couple called Bonnie and Clyde.Read more
The travel brochures display breathtaking scenery; medieval buildings nestled in a quaint valley, snowcapped peaks of the Transylvania Alps, beachgoers wading in the crystal blue waters of the Black Sea.
Romania is one of Eastern Europe's most popular tourist destinations. It's also the cybercrime capital of the world.
Until 2003, the country had no cybercrime law on its books. It became a haven for hackers. Its reputation was so bad that Romania struggled to gain acceptance into the European Union.
The law eventually passed was one of the strictest in the world. After an initial decline in criminal activity, it returned to the infamous position that gained their nickname - Hackerville.Read more
The biggest security hack to date was announced last week. It wasn't a financial services firm that was compromised, nor a provider of related products. Those charged with keeping your personal information safe have done so.
This was a marketing company that got hacked. And all they stole were email addresses of their clients. How much harm can that do?
Plenty. Particularly if your client list includes the likes of Citi, Chase, U.S. Bank, Capital One, Barclays Bank of Delaware, Verizon, Walgreens, Visa, TiVo, HSN and L.L. Bean to name just a few.Read more
No, not the massive tsunami that devastated parts of Japan. While the chaos an event of this magnitude wrought on this country, we're going to talk about a bigger threat yet. This one threatens chaos on a global scale.
You may want to refer to the August 17, 2010 issue of this newsletter for background on the ZeuS Trojan before continuing here. The article was so important that we've made it readily available on our Security Articles web page as well.
The article describes a sophisticated Trojan in use by global organized crime rings. The toolkit to deploy the Trojan is readily through underground Internet sites. At the article's end, I offered this prediction:
"While no incidences have yet been reported, it's only a matter of time before SpyEye dethrones ZeuS as King of Crimeware."
That time has come.Read more
It's been quite a few years since I've written a GCFlash piece on a specific threat. Hundreds of new ones were reported daily, all with similar characteristics and methods of prevention. Early threats were merely pranks pulled by smart kids. They became routine. Little harm was done outside of having to cleanup and rebuild your hard drive, which we thought was troublesome at the time.
Until now. The ZeuS Trojan is so sophisticated and so elusive that even Internet security experts are scrambling to stop it.Read more
Trojans differ from viruses in that they are not self-replicating. They will not scour your address book and send themselves to all of your contacts. They are spread manually, hiding inside websites, emails, images or downloads with the premise of offering a benefit to the intended victim.
Since ZeuS is sold as a customizable toolkit, each criminal using it will deliver the crimeware in their own fashion.Read more
UNDERSTANDING FIREWALLSA recent survey of U.S. and U.K. computer users revealed that 25 percent did not know whether they had any privacy protection. Over half admitted they had no idea what the privacy settings on their browsers were. Do you know what keeps your computer safe?
As the name implies, the firewall serves as a boundary to restrict information traveling between your computer and a network or the Internet. If used properly, the firewall is your defense against someone trying to hack into your system. If it's configured wrong, you're opening the door for an identity thief.
Here's how they work: An unsolicited request is generated whenever someone tries to connect to your computer. This happens when you did not initiate the contact. Your firewall will alert you to the request and ask if you want to allow access or block that particular program or Web site. If you approve the request, the site or program is added to your exception list. It will be recognized the next time it wants access and you'll get no further alerts. Block it and you've slammed the door on potential fraud.
You should have two different kinds of firewalls protecting your home computer. A software firewall protects the computer and a hardware firewall will protect your Internet connections. If you use a PC, the Windows firewall will handle the software protection quite well. The $75 routers you can buy at any electronics store usually include a great hardware firewall.
To be safe, simply set the Windows firewall to Enabled and check the "Don't allow exceptions" box. To find these properties, open Control Panel and choose Windows Firewall from the menu. You'll see the firewall properties box that display these options. You'll now be prompted if any program or Web site not on your exception list is trying to gain access to your computer.
If you misconfigure your firewall, you could inadvertently allow anyone on the Internet to access your computer and read your stored files and other personal information. That's why it's best to simply configure it to block everything.
Many security products on the market offer their own firewall, you don't have to use the Windows version. Examine what each product offers and choose the solution that's best for you. But make sure you only have one product enabled or they'll conflict with each other.
A firewall offers a degree of protection, but there are certain things that it cannot do. It can't detect or disable computer viruses and worms already present on your computer. You'll need antivirus software for that. It will ask permission before granting connection requests, but it won't stop a dangerous email attachment from opening. You'll have to use discretion in deciding what can be a threat. If you don't know the sender or the subject line doesn't make sense, don't open it. It can't block spam. Your email client may offer a spam filter that will help in this regard.
Your firewall can create a security log to record successful and unsuccessful attempts to connect to your computer. This can be helpful if you need to troubleshoot a problem. If you're using the Windows firewall, click the Advanced tab on the properties box described above. The Security Logging option appears on this screen. Choose Settings to select what type of instances you want logged and the file location to do so.
Cyber criminals are continually trying to find new ways to ply their trade. Take your protection into your own hands and stop them in their tracks.
NOT SO PRIVATEBack in the late '90s, when we installed our first computer network at GCF, there was much debate over whether we really needed all that fancy stuff. Technology was for the big guns at the time. An institution our size didn't REALLY need such automation.
I can remember one department head that was meticulous in her job. She was a wonderful woman with a dedication and work ethic that's hard to find today. She would run numbers forward, backward and sideways if she could to validate her conclusions. That is, as long as she used a pencil and a ledger sheet. Holding that paper firmly in hand was material proof of a job well done.
I sometimes wish life were that simple once again. Sure, that piece of paper could have been compromised. It could have missed the shredder and gotten thrown directly into the trash where a cleaning person could have stumbled on it. A disgruntled employee could have intercepted it and used that valuable information to make the bank look bad. But that would have been the worst of it.
Fast forward a millennium and it's now universally accepted that data doesn't have to be in paper form to be legitimate. Electronic communications and transactions all leave a footprint that serves as their version of a paper trail. But their path extends much farther than any piece of paper ever could, for they leave a footprint that can be traced all around the world.
I never was concerned with privacy issues. While I knew my frequent visits to NASCAR.com would result in race-related display ads when I logged on to Google, who really cared? My name, address and phone number have appeared in the local telephone book for decades. What's the harm in their appearance online?
So I sat down with information security expert Mike Chapple, CISSP, whose books have helped aspiring Internet security professionals prepare for the challenging Certified Information Systems Security Professional certification. I questioned him as to how easy it is to gain access to our private information, and why we should even care. His response was frightening.
Marketing databases are widely available for sale, and can tell you all sorts of things about people. The data isn't integrated, one would have to purchase several different lists to create a complete profile. Yet one can retrieve plenty of information on your habits and interests by simply searching for your Social Security number, address, or even your 9-digit zip code. A lot can be surmised by the demographics of your community. Enough for some deranged person to stalk you or steal your identity. Someone wanting that information badly enough needs to do nothing more than hire a private investigator who can readily access the appropriate database.
Damage can be done even without the help of a private investigator. Once someone has your address and learns where you were born, they have enough information to pull a birth certificate online for $1.95 and find your mother's maiden name. What information does your bank and other institutions ask for to verify identity? Now they've got access to your accounts.
Public tax records can give someone that has your private information enough knowledge to take out a loan in your name. You can easily learn what someone paid for their home and how much they still owe. They show the name of your mortgage holder and when the mortgage was written. These questions are often used to prove the identity of someone applying online. A soft credit check is run, presenting you with questions about your credit history that presumably only you would know.
In the few minutes I sat speaking with Chapple, he was busily plugging away at his keyboard while answering my questions. He paused twice: the first time to tell me my full name, age, place of birth, address, length of residence, current and previous places of employment. The second time his fingers stopped he told me when we bought our home, how much we paid, who holds our mortgage and for what amount, the color I painted the railing on my front deck and the make and model of my neighbor's minivan. He admitted to not being able to clearly read the license plate. He also went on to describe what kind of harm could befall me if this basic, public information fell into the hands of someone not quite as honorable as himself.
The worst part is that there's absolutely nothing we can do to prevent this from happening. We could limit our risk somewhat if we purchase goods only with cash, avoid the Internet completely and become a hermit. But any electronic transaction or action can and does result in a profile.
Chapple suggests you always keep a record of what you do and where you do it. Pull your credit reports regularly to limit any damage in case you have been compromised. You are entitled to one free report per year from each of the three major reporting bureaus, and so is your spouse. If you pull a report from one bureau at a time and intermix those of your spouse, you can keep watch every two months. The only federally sponsored web site to provide your free credit report is annualcreditreport.com. Don't be misled by those with catchy jingles you see advertised in television commercials. You'll need to subscribe to their service to access the free report offered.
Remember that villainous eyes are watching... you best be, too.

At first, Ken von Roenn III only saw yoga as a way to increase his flexibility for his true passion, climbing. Slowly, yoga began to eclipse climbing as his primary love. Now he's a devoted practitioner and instructor, and his love has led him to create Skanda Yoga Studio's namesake style. The Skanda yoga style hinges on posture and controlled breathing, much like Vinyasa yoga. However, Skanda augments these practical techniques with a holistic component: each Skanda session finds its spiritual footing in the Mayan Dreamspell calendar.
Sessions work to align participants' bodies with natural cyclical patterns found in this brand of Mayan mysticism that has proven more enduring than federal laws carved into stone with an exceptionally pointy Sharpie. Ken and his team of instructors offer classes outside their studio's signature style, complementing their Skanda instruction with courses in modalities such as power yoga, gentle therapeutics, and Kundalini.
Fitness industry veteran Dulcinea Lee Hellings's goal is to bring a high-quality, effective exercise regimen to people who don't love big gyms or can't afford personal trainers. In 2004, she realized that mornings could be used for more than hitting the snooze button over and over for two hours, and founded Boot Camp "Morning Crunch!" to help fledgling exercisers whip into shape.
She designs her all-levels programs to be scream-free morning motivators⎯the first stop in her patrons' journey of daily accomplishments. The fast-paced, ever-changing circuit of strength and cardio exercises keeps bodies guessing and minds from becoming bored. Each of the boot camp's 12 outdoor locations has a different dedicated trainer who gets to know each student personally, remembering their names and memorizing any interesting freckle patterns. They complement their morning routines with a smattering of evening options for those who prefer to work out after the day's activities.
With lots of windows bringing in natural light and amber-colored wooden flooring inside the studio, Corpo Yoga Studio screams relaxation. Or, rather, whispers it, with classes that emphasize both the physical aspects of regular yoga practice and its spiritual inner message. Under the direction of Cybele Chamas, the studio provides a wide selection of classes in different types of yoga as well as a yoga basics session for beginners. Regardless of which yoga style you profess to love, the studio's emphasis is on its three basic components – poses, breathing exercises and meditation/relaxation, which are near-universal principles. Yoga classes run, 60, 75 or 90 minutes, though the studio does offer private sessions and special workshops and events.
Inside Bikram Yoga Falls's heated practice space, students of all experience levels bend and stretch through Bikram yoga's 26 postures for a challenging yet stress-relieving workout. During the 90-minute classes, instructors lead up to 50 students through a regimented series of poses paired with two pranayama breathing exercises. The classes are designed to increase strength and flexibility while decreasing the body's tension level, clearing the mind of stressful events such as catching the family dog reading your diary. The routine is performed in a studio heated to temperatures hovering around the 100-degree mark, coaxing muscles to sink deeper into stretches and ousting the body's toxins through sweat.
As a community, Green Monkey is thriving. Across its three locations, it's taken on dozens of instructors who lead more than 36 types of classes, including meditation classes that rely on breathing techniques and silent affirmations to quiet the mind. As if all those class varieties weren't enough, the instructors also put together frequent workshops, many of which teach specific skills such as handstands and inverted backbends.
Amid dim lighting, candles, and soothing music, Ayama Yoga and Healing Arts creates an atmosphere for healing and personal transformation. You can choose from a variety of yoga styles, including energizing flow classes and gentle therapeutic sessions that employ an assortment of props for support. Along with classes, the studio hosts events such as workshops and reiki circles. These and other offerings—including acupuncture, emotional release bodywork, and chakra readings—help clients center their energy and improve wellbeing.

States' choices set up national health experiment
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is unfolding as a national experiment with American consumers as the guinea pigs: Who will do a better job getting uninsured people covered, the states or the feds?
The nation is about evenly split between states that decided by Friday's deadline they want a say in running new insurance markets and states that are defaulting to federal control because they don't want to participate in "Obamacare." That choice was left to state governments under the law: Establish the market or Washington will.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find some basic information about this group of tumors and the parts of the body they may affect. This is the first page of Cancer.Net's Guide to the Ewing Family of Tumors. To see other pages, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen. Think of those boxes as a roadmap to this full guide. Or, click "Next" at the bottom of each page.
Ewing family of tumors (EFT) is a group of cancers that affect the bones or nearby soft tissue. Cancer occurs when normal cells change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body). Depending on the type, EFT develops in different places. EFT includes:
- Ewing tumor of the bones (also called Ewing sarcoma), the most common type of EFT
- Extraosseous Ewing (EOE), a tumor that grows in soft tissues outside the bone
- Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PPNET), a rare tumor found in the bones and soft tissues. This includes Askin's tumor, which is a PPNET of the chest wall.
EFT of the bone occurs most often in the leg, spine, rib, or pelvis. EFT of the soft tissue is usually found in the thigh, pelvis, spine, chest, or foot. Specifically, about 41% of EFT develops in a leg and foot, 26% in the pelvis, 16% in the chest wall, 9% in an arm or hand, 6% in the spine, and 2% in the skull.
This section covers EFT diagnosed in children and teenagers. For more information about EFT in adults, please read the Guide to Bone Cancer.

Get involved with LinuxFest Northwest 2011
For the 12th year, LinuxFest Northwest 2011 is happening April 30th and May 1st.
LinuxFest Northwest is a community event, organized by a team of volunteers. Its success depends on participation. We are asking the Free and Open Source Software community to get involved.
*Present* at the Fest on a project that you use or contribute to. Share your experiences with potential users, connect with other contributors, or find collaborators on a new idea. Presentations add value for everyone involved, including you. If you don't want to present, perhaps you know of someone who could. Or if you have something to say that won't take an hour, check out the Lightning Talks session.
*Exhibit* and get your messages to a select audience. Whether you represent a F&OSS non-profit, a college or a company that sells to technical users, the low key exhibits are effective marketing. Exhibitors are a key component of the community.
*Sponsor* LinuxFest Northwest to show visible support for the F&OSS community and receive valuable exposure in return. The Fest attracts attendees from California to British Columbia, and has international recognition. Free admission depends on funding and support provided primarily by sponsors. If your company depends on open source technology (no matter where it is located), please consider an LFNW sponsorship as a way to give back. New this year, individual supporters can pre-pay discretionary Fest expenses online.
More information as well as how to help promote this event can be found on the LinuxFest Northwest Website.

The Who
70 Songs
About The Who
The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964 by Roger Daltrey (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica), Pete Townshend (guitar, vocals, keyboards) and John Entwistle (bass, brass, vocals), and joined shortly after by Keith Moon (drums, vocals). They became known for energetic live performances which often included instrument destruction. The Who have sold about 100 million records, and have charted 27 top forty singles in the United Kingdom and United States, as well as 17 top ten albums, with 18 Gold, 12 Platinum and 5 Multi-Platinum album awards in the United States alone. The Who rose to fame in the UK with a series of top ten hit singles, boosted in part by pirate radio stations such as Radio Caroline, beginning in January 1965 with "I Can't Explain". The albums My Generation (1965), A Quick One (1966) and The Who Sell Out (1967) followed, with the first two reaching the UK top five. They first hit the US Top 40 in 1967 with "Happy Jack" and hit the top ten later that year with "I ... Read More
