The most viable hotel investment in today's economy is the small, independent (non-flag) and mixed-use hotel. How does the small hotel investor participate in such a venture? The quest for a workable and profitable venture is to create a pool of entrepreneurs to secure funds that will leverage the new asset.
The reality is that we are presently facing tumultuous economic times in the hotel investment market. Stock portfolios, IRA accounts, and other financial instruments do not lend themselves to the healthy returns of the past, nor do they provide a safety net that is worth our time and money. In today's financial environment, the pooling of liquid cash is KING, and it will bring a healthier return on your investment.
What will this self-leveraging pool of small hotel investors contain?
1. Investment regulations
2. It will have a secured flex plan of repayment that fits the pool as a whole.
3. There will be a controlled risk of financial personal ratings.
4. The small to medium sized hotel investors will have an investment opportunity that would not otherwise be available or affordable. Investors (likely, not more than five per pool) with capital funds from $100K to $1MM would be the ideal size of the pool. Each investor would contribute a diversity of viewpoints and a sense of direction to the pool.
5. Hotel Investors will have parity independent of the funds placed in the pool. That is not to say that if an individual invests $50K, he will have the same return than someone that invests $500K. But it does imply that ideas from both investors will hold equal weight and support by the pool members.
Because the cash model is utilized for the purchase, borrowed capital will not take any place in this model. The rationale for this model is that it allows for free hotel investment fluidity and is not controlled by any third party debt.
Latin America is an example of a fertile ground for the small hotel investor, as we implement this self-leveraging model.
There are many other factors that will need to be explored, as we develop the investment pool into a successful and profitable journey. The reality of today's economic times is that we must come together in the small world of investors.
It will be critical to secure the direction, counseling, and managing consultancy of a small, well-rounded and experienced company that will partner with the pool by providing service excellence and successful management of the asset. Hospitality Makers, a branch of International Hospitality Recruiting, is now aggressively pursuing pools of small to medium sized hotel investors, especially in Latin America. We will go hand-in-hand with you in securing the success of the pool and assuring a competitive edge in the local marketplace.

Friendly and Courteous
" We found the staff to be very friendly and courteous. They clearly explained what they were going to do and followed up what they found needed to be done. All in all a very pleasant experience. "
These people were amazing
" Great service. I leased my first vehicle there last month. I've bought cars in the past, never leased, but I have never gone alone and felt comfortable enough to go through the process without my husband or father by my side. These people were amazing. They worked in my budget to find the car with exactly what I wanted the most. I LOVE MY FORD ESCAPE. I am grateful for their customer service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOULEVARD FORD IN GEORGETOWN. Ask for Eric Curlett....he is a good kid and I doubt anyone there works harder than he will to leave you driving off smiling in your new car!!!! -marisol "
"the easiest and fastest purchase of a vehicle that we have ever had."
" My wife and I just purchased a 2017 F-250 Lariat Turbo-Diesel from Bill Stack at Boulevard Ford of Georgetown. Even though we had to drive 90 minutes to their dealership, it was the easiest and fastest purchase of a vehicle that we have ever had. I called Bill late one evening and was provided a much better price than from area dealers, then drove down the next morning to have my trade evaluated. I signed the papers that same day, and then we went down again a few days later to pick up our new truck. I had been negotiating prices from several Wilmington dealers, as well as one from Baltimore. Georgetown was significantly better, and they even offered to deliver the truck to us. We, however, declined as we wanted to drive it home. "
Best dealership ever!!
" Scott #3 Zielinski is the man to go to for any car needs! He has been professional and easy going since the first time he contacted me! I am a sales person my self and I was dreading to look at cars due to bad experiences with other car dealerships, but Scott and Ryan were amazing and took good care of me! Even when I had to leave the first time around without buying (I was hungry), I wasn't cornered or forced into buying anything that day! I got a great deal for a great car from great guys! You need a new car? Go and see Scott! "
Excellent service
" Excellent service. Shirlee, the service advisor, was knowledgeable and efficient. Had service on my 2005 Escape last year. Experienced engine performance problem in March 2016. This was promptly diagnosed as a defective spark plug. The plug was replaced under the parts warranty! Thanks, Mike Roob "
Pleasant , and professional staff!
" I always take my Fusion in for service at Boulevard Ford in Georgetown. Pleasant , and professional staff! "
Great car buying experience!
" Scott was wonderful to work with. He listened to my specific requests and needs and quickly identified what I was looking for. I am really enjoying my Ford Escape! I definitely will be a returning customer! Thank you so much! (via Cars.com) "
Bill Woods
" We had the best car-buying experience with Bill Woods. He was knowledgeable and most helpful in guiding us through the process. There was no sales pressure involved ,which kept us there asking more questions. He showed us all our options and helped us with the best deal for what we were looking for. He took us for a test drive, listened to our needs and concerns, and came up with a great match. We are thrilled with our new Ford Escape and would highly recommend the "Bill Woods" buying experience at Boulevard Ford. (via Cars.com) "
The service department was terrific!
" The service department was terrific! They were on time starting the work on my car, it was finished in the timeframe they indicated, and everyone was pleasant and helpful throughout the process. "
They went out of their way!
" Was a fantastic experience! Vehicle was as described and they even delivered it to me. I never had to put a foot in their door... They went out of their way. Thank You So Much! "
They will be my first choice!
" My first time taking my Escape to Boulevard Ford for routine maintenance. Making an appointment online was very convenient. Service was completed quickly. Everyone I encountered were very friendly and helpful. I will continue to bring my car there for service. They will be my first choice when the time comes to consider my next Ford. "
Very enjoyable.
" Very enjoyable. Steven White was very accommodating and friendly. "
Would highly recommend Boulevard Ford's Professional and Friendly Sales TEAM!
" As a New Delawarian preparing to retire, it was great to establish a positive relationship with a tenured, knowledgeable and professional staff. I checked online to see if they had the truck I was looking for, found the exact vehicle very quickly and left my name. Scott III called me back within minutes and invited me in to see the vehicle in person. I set an appointment and was met at the door when I arrived by Scott III, with the truck I had picked out all cleaned sitting right there. Scott did an amazing walk around of the vehicle, explaining its features followed by a test drive. He answered all my questions and applied no pressure at any time. I explained what my goals and objectives were and with the help of Scott I, the GSM we were able to meet those objectives. I said I would like to show the truck to my wife and they graciously accommodated that request with a dealer tag, full tank of gas and an overnight trip home to Bethany. Came back the next day and finalized the deal with another good experience in the finance office. The delivery went smooth with the truck fully detailed when I was ready to leave. Scott walked me through the Service Department and the Parts Department introducing me to the Service Manager and Parts Department clerk. Boulevard Ford won me over by exceeding my expectations. I am looking forward to that same experience in the Service Department. I Love my New F150 and would highly recommend Boulevard Ford's Professional and Friendly Sales TEAM. "
Efficient and thorough!
" Efficient and thorough! They really try hard for the customer "
Very satisfied with their work and customer service!
" I dropped my car off first thing in the morning for a routine service. They arranged for someone to take me to work, and called me when the service work was complete. I picked it up at lunchtime. Very satisfied with their work and customer service. "
They care bout you and your car!!!!
" From the time I walk in to when I leave I feel very special. They care bout you and your car!!!! "
Thank you Ray and your dealership!
" On a late Saturday evening I searched for a Honda Element and Boulevard/PRESTON had one. I called hoping to just leave a message; however Mr. Ray Turner-Salesperson at Boulevard answered the phone and I was able to establish a link with the dealership. Needless to say, it was a very pleasant surprise to hear a "human" at the other end of the proverbial line. I made an appointment for the following Monday, which Ray reminded me via e-mail. Drove the car. Liked the car, decided to make an offer with some conditions which Boulevard management accepted and we made a deal. They worked on the brakes, which one of the conditions...while I waited. However, half way to my house a Tire Pressure Management System warning light came on. I talked to Ray about it and he indicated that he would request the light to be checked by a Ford Preston dealership close to my house which was performing the MD inspection. When the Ford dealership was not able to fix the warning light, Ray mediated in my favor with his managers for the Element be fixed at a Salisbury Honda dealership. I expressed to Ray that the kind of customer service, staying behind the product they sell, is very uncommon nowadays. Thank you Ray and your dealership for making the car buying experience a very rewarding one!!! Next time I need a car or know of someone who needs a car I will call Ray Turner at Preston Boulevard in Georgetown, DE. "
I highly recommend Boulevard Ford's Service center!
" This is not my first time for service at Boulevard Ford. The staff are very professional and courteous but foremost, they treat your automobile as they would their own. I have never had to go back once they service it. I highly recommend Boulevard Ford's Service center. "
Looked show room new!
" Had F250 detailed. Looked show room new when picked up. Great job. "
Honest people doing an honest job!
" Took my Taurus there for some re-call work and I was impressed with their positive attitude and work ethic. I was impressed enough to take my F-150 for in some diagnostic work They explained all my options and didn't try to sell me anything. Just what I was looking for. I recommend them. Honest people doing an honest job. "

Special edition: 91st Bombardment Group.
Superbly hand-painted by a UK artist, these special edition bags are available in very limited quantities. Specially chosen for it's fame in WWII, the 91st Bombardment Group flew with the 8th Air Force in the European theatre of operations - the famous B-17 bomber 'Memphis Belle' flew with this group.
Made from a strong, 100% cotton canvas, the USAAF kit bag is an exact reproduction of the early-war version in the correct pale olive-drab shade.
It will easily hold a leather flight jacket, along with plenty of other items. For short-stay trips it's a must - big enough to carry all you need, but small enough to classify as 'carry-on' baggage on a flight.
You can also personalise your kit bag by having an authentic name tag strip stencilled and stitched on white webbing tape - just like the originals!
NOTE: Items that are personalised with insignia, are non-returnable


text: Tyler B. Murphy: Hand Poked Tattoos on Die Antwoord By Tyler B. Murphy My mate Ryan got stabbed in the back outside a bar in my old neighborhood. They snatched his friends handbag and left him thinking that he had been punched on his right shoulder-blade. Moments later as the blood cooled, he felt the wetness, and realised the truth behind the sharpened steel in the punch... He had only recently retired his trusty "Okapi" knife, fearing that he had become too brazen with whipping it out, he was not wanting to become the bully with a knife. Ryan had mixed emotions about both not having realized the instant he had been stabbed, and the fact that he had not been adequately armed. Regardless of what he could have done he decided not to let the occasion go unmarked. As soon as he had healed enough to possibly hold ink, he had me tattoo him on his scar. He wanted to have the same knife tattooed on him that he had carried for years. It was also very likely that it was the same make of knife that he had been stabbed with, since they have been a long time favorite in South Africa. It was to be my first hand poked tattoo. We put it on his back, with the tip of the knife disappearing into the actual scar from the knife wound. The subject matter was criminal and the occasion it commemorated was criminal, so it was only right to make the tattoo like criminals make tattoos, or at least close to the prison-style. We didn't burn rubber to ash and collect the ash to mix with spit for ink. We used a regular pre-made needle, long taper seven and some Talons. But we still felt pretty hard when we were done. After that I was dead keen on doing more hand poked tattoos and that was in 2008... Since then I have started to bend and wrap the needle bar. My appreciation for the irregular and hand-made feel of the line work continues to grow. As the years pass and I look at how these tattoos age, they just get better. I find it the truest way to appreciate the inevitable decay of all things human and electronic. It takes longer than electric tattooing, but as Ryan often says, "It is not a race." WAT KYK JY? I had been wanting to tattoo my buddy Ninja for years, and in mid-2009 he finally had a solid plan of what he wanted. His plan was to get some rough-looking hand poked tattoos and he wanted to do them himself. Soon after, he started to come hang out at the shop after we closed. I would help him stencil on the things he drew, and he would hand poke them. After he did the first one, we mixed up a special batch of pigment that would give the healed tattoo a more hand-made look. After the second piece he asked me if I would be keen on doing a whole bunch of hand poked tattoos on him. He stressed that I must make a special effort not to make them look too neat. He had accumulated a number of ideas for tattoos, from studying photographs of prisoners that had been pardoned by Nelson Mandela, many years earlier. Since our country has a large criminal and prison population, the images and phrases tattooed on these prisoners where rich in symbolism and taboo. They were mostly tattoos that have been and still are being done in prisons across the country. Some of them are humorous and others very serious, some with links to the three major gangs that have ruled life behind bars for more than 100 years. They are the type of tattoos many reformed convicts feel ashamed to wear, tattoos that can strike fear into an audience of hardened criminals. But the era of these tattoos may soon be over. Since the fall of apartheid and the rise of narcotics profits things have changed. Street gangs have made their way into the higher echelons of the gangs inside. In the past it was forbidden to talk about prison gangs and the language used in prisons on the outside. Whatever street gang you were affiliated to on the outside did not matter, and when you left prison you left behind your rank and gang. Now days the lines have been blurred. A life of incarceration with no prospects outside has been replaced with a desire to befriend and affiliate yourself with imprisoned members of organised crime syndicates. These connections can give you "gainful employment" on the outside. Whatever importance is placed on these images in the future is impossible to know.They are the folk art of the down trodden, a legacy of the violent colonial system. They are the marks of those who, in their own way, refuse the system and create their own. As a performing artist, Ninja has taken the lead in showing sides of South African culture that are sometimes hidden but we are all linked to. Yo-Landi Vi$$er and Ninja are writing songs that are making waves across the world. Part of their recipe is the way they look so closely at the details of the cultural weirdness of our country. As an outsider listening to their music, you are not going to be able to grasp all of the slang and humor, but you will get moved to either love it or hate it. It is not the kind of music that gets easily forgotten. Many of the tattoos I have done on Ninja and Yo-landie are related to their careers in music and film making...

Since the events of September 11, 2001, Iron Grip Barbell Co. has supported Operation Enduring Freedom by supplying over 130 U.S. military bases and naval ships with American-made Iron Grip free weight equipment. At the request of the US Government, military facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Kabul and Diego Garcia have been outfitted with Iron Grip free weights. In addition, ships such as the USS Tarawa, the USS Camden and the USS Shiloh have chosen Iron Grip's rust-resistant, 12-sided Urethane plates and dumbbells, designed to minimize rolling. In additional news, Iron Grip and Sportworks Inc. have reached a settlement of the lawsuit filed by Iron Grip earlier this year. Iron Grip had filed suit against Sportworks for infringement of its patents relating to weight lifting plates having multiple handgrip openings. As a result of the settlement, Sportworks agreed to entry of a final judgment and the issuance of a permanent injunction enjoining Sportworks, from, among other things, manufacturing or selling any of the alleged infringing products.

Numerous studies on variables related to getting, keeping and advancing on the job revealed that appearance and looking young gives workers the competitive advantage in the job market and workplace.
Noted economist, Daniel S. Hamermesh in his book, Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful, shows that the attractive are more likely to be employed, work more productively and profitably, receive more substantial pay, obtain loan approvals, negotiate loans with better terms, and have more handsome and highly educated spouses than their less attractive cohorts.
Hamermesh demonstrates how society favors the beautiful and how better-looking people experience startling but undeniable benefits in all aspects of life. Hamermesh illustrates how attractive workers make more money, how these amounts differ by gender, and how looks are valued differently based on profession.
Hamermesh also investigates the commodification of beauty in dating and how this influences the search for intelligent or high-earning mates.
Studies by American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and Society of Human Resource Management report numerous examples of discrimination in the work place related to looking old. For example, AARP report two out of three workers between ages 45 and 74 say they have seen or experienced age discrimination at work, and job seekers over age 35 cite it as a top obstacle to getting hired. If you happen to work in the high-tech or entertainment industries, your chances of experiencing age discrimination are even higher.
In a study commissioned by Just for Men Hair Color, nearly 65 percent of career advisors surveyed reported male clients lost job opportunities because they looked too old. Over 60 percent reported clients missed opportunities because they didn't look well-groomed.
This is not good news for baby boomers. Interviewers are increasingly younger than many job applicants, and they typically hire younger people.
In our fast paced, competitive, youth-obsessed workplace, image is vital. People often judge and categorize others subconsciously, by appearance. Where stellar job performances are the norm, the differentiating factor is image.
It remains uncertain whether the handsomest people translate their good looks into higher productivity, but students do consistently give better-looking professors higher evaluations than they give their less comely teachers, according to research by Hamermesh and Amy Parker at the
Still, many experts warn against assigning too much value to beauty in the workplace, arguing that even if your good looks do get you in the door, they may not get you much farther.
"A person can be breathtaking in person and destroy that within the first five minutes by acting in a way that seems superior or behaving in a way that is lewd or provocative," said an executive career coach. Although looks are the first thing most people notice, qualities like competencies, interpersonal skills, confidence and other factors prevail.
Fortunately, there's more to attractiveness than meets the eye. Researchers Markus Mobius and Tanya Rosenblat found that confidence makes up 20 percent of perceived attractiveness.
Your image, the perception people have of you, consists of such personal effectiveness skills as poise, confidence, resilience, optimism, social grace, effective communication, and an air of competence, authority and integrity. These skills enable you to interact comfortably, and engender a sense of professionalism and credibility.
Make a great first impression
Having a well-groomed, confident, energetic, professional appearance is critical for getting a job and advancing in your career.
- Look savvy and contemporary. Stay current on fashion trends. Dress with authority. Authority speaks with a hint of formality. The dark suit, navy or medium to dark gray, with a crisp shirt and contrasting tie, and dark socks is appropriate for men. A conservative navy, gray or tan business suit is suitable for women. Blue tones – navy, dark and royal inspire trust on an subconscious level.
If casual dress is the norm in the organization, wear the team uniform. If you're attending a meeting in a new company, research the norm for the area, industry and company. Dress one notch above customers to communicate professionalism without intimidation.
Coordinate pieces. Wear colors and styles flattering to your skin tone and body type. Clothes should be spotless, pressed and well-tailored with good quality fabric. Wear well-maintained shoes and simple jewelery.
Have hair professionally cut and styled. Consider coloring gray hair. Gray hair may convey negative perceptions about effectiveness, adaptability and energy level. Gray haired men are perceived to be less effective at their jobs and at least four years older than men without gray hair. Part hair to the side. A middle part elicits distrust.
Cleanliness, with well-kept nails, is a must. So is a fresh shave for men and natural-looking makeup for women. Men with beards should check the norm for their desired organization. Avoid bulging pockets, battered briefcases or purses, and strong fragrances.
- Be genuine, authentic. Real people say and do what they think. They're driven to action by their inner beliefs rather than external triggers. Their outside actions reflect their thoughts. Authenticity requires knowing who you are and being comfortable with yourself. It necessitates taking time to develop informed ideas about things you care about, and not blindly adopting them from others. Genuine people are self-guided, make choices in harmony with their authentic selves.
- Radiate energy, enthusiasm, friendliness, confidence and competence. Be genuine. Smile, when appropriate. Listen attentively to what others are saying. Show interest in the person or project. Ask questions when you're not sure about something. Answer questions promptly offering concrete examples.
Keep hands out of pockets to communicate trust and approachability. Make eye contact with everyone you meet and speak with.
Speak in a level, modulated voice. Speak briskly, but pronounce words clearly. Develop a powerful handshake.
Sit erect or stand tall, with shoulders back. Slumping posture projects exhaustion and age. Relax arms and legs.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Exercise regularly to develop a lean, well-toned body. Eat well, get at least seven hours sleep, take time for fun and friends, and develop your spiritual self.
- Think positively. See yourself as a seasoned professional who has much insight and knowledge to offer. Use age to your advantage. Counter stereotypes. If over 40, stress experience, wisdom, reliability, judgment, loyalty, accomplishments and work ethic.
Value yourself. Believe you'll attain desired goals. List personal and professional strengths. Review list daily.

With gas prices more than a dollar a gallon higher than at this time last year, there is a concerted effort underway by most motorists to save money at the gas pump. Using coupons, car-pooling, taking fewer trips and finding alternative transportation are popular options. With that in mind, GasBuddy.com has put together Ten Fuel Saving Tips to help motorists stretch every gallon of gas:
1 Avoid High Speeds
As your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph vs 75 mph will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%.
2 Do Not Accelerate or Brake Hard
By anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%.
3 Keep Tires Properly Inflated
Keep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%.
4 Use A/C Sparingly
When the air conditioner is on it puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used (by about 20%). The defrost position on most vehicles also uses the air conditioner.
5 Keep Windows Closed
Windows open, especially at highway speeds, increase drag and result in decreased fuel economy of up to 10%.
6 Service Vehicle Regularly
Proper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels.
7 Use Cruise Control
Maintaining a constant speed over long distances often saves gas.
8 Avoid Heavy Loads
Remove the sand bags from your trunk in the spring and pack lightly for long trips.
9 Avoid Long Idles
If you anticipate being stopped for more than 1 minute, shut off the car. Restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle for this time.
10 Purchase a Fuel Efficient Vehicle

How one woman coped with hair loss
By Nancy Oliveira, Pure Matters
Debbie Dorsey sat with her family on Christmas morning in 1997 opening presents. She was watching her children and mindlessly touching her hair when seven dark strands clung to her fingers. She continued pulling at her hair so that by the time all the gifts were unwrapped, Dorsey had constructed a hill of hair on the coffee table. She might have felt shocked, except this was the exact day her doctor predicted her hair would start to fall out.
"It actually felt great, because my scalp was sore. I wanted to pull out all that hair, even though it also terrified me," says Dorsey.
A 'Hairy' Situation
Dorsey experienced a condition called alopecia, or loss of hair. Although there are many reasons for hair loss, it is a common side effect in people receiving radiation and chemotherapy. The amount of hair loss varies with the type of treatment.
Joan Gallagher, an oncology clinical nurse specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, explains hair loss with chemotherapy, "Certain chemotherapy treatments cause alopecia more than others. Some drugs don't cause it at all. But despite the extent of damage, chemotherapy-related hair loss is temporary."
Chemotherapy destroys quick-growing tumor cells. At the same time, it can damage other fast-growing cells, such as those in hair and nails. The hair follicle cells absorb the drug, which thins the hair shaft or completely blocks hair cells from dividing and growing. When the hair root at the scalp becomes fragile, it breaks easily or falls out. The patient not only loses hair on the head, but also may lose hair in other areas such as the legs, arms, pubic area, eyebrows, and eyelashes.
"Radiation, on the other hand, can cause permanent hair loss. High amounts of radiation beams passing through a specific treatment area including the hair can destroy the hair root entirely. But it is only the target area where the radiation hits that you may see a bald spot," says Gallagher.
What to Expect
With chemotherapy, hair loss usually begins within two to three weeks after the start of treatment, and may continue over the next month. In some cases, total hair loss occurs in 24 hours. There are factors that affect how quickly hair loss occurs, such as the type and amount of the drug given.
Gallagher adds, "Consider the weight of the hair--long hair is heavy and tugs on the roots. Taking a shower and wetting the hair will add even more weight and increase the chances of hair falling out. Trimming long hair may help lengthen the time it takes for complete hair loss." If hair loss is expected, Gallagher also recommends avoiding harsh chemicals found in permanents, hair dyes, and some hair sprays.
Many people may feel scalp tenderness right before the hair loss, as described by Dorsey. "The sensation has been compared to the feeling of when you wear your hair part one way for a long time and then switch it the other way," says Gallagher.
Hair regrows in about three to five months, although the exact time will vary. The hair root recovers and begins a new cycle of growth, often visible before chemotherapy treatment ends. Complete regrowth can take up to one year. Hair may reappear in a different color or texture. Dorsey recalls her surprise when her hair grew back in big, thick curls--opposite from the ironed-straight hair she was born with.
Regaining Control Over Your Image
Hair loss can cause anxiety or depression. This reaction may be related to a loss of control over the image that the person desires the public to see.
"To some degree, hair defines who you are because it's one of the first things people notice," says Dorsey. "For women, hair symbolizes femininity. We spend so much time styling, coloring, and caring for it. When I lost all my hair, I'd walk by beauty salons and wish they could do something--anything--for me. I couldn't even get a manicure because the chemotherapy had weakened my nails."
David Nicholas, a Boston-based make-up artist and licensed esthetician, believes that the right beauty salon can do wonders for people with hair loss. Nicholas, a pioneer in reconstructive and corrective make-up, helps many women and men with hair loss gain back some control of their appearance. He counsels people to make plans early on.
"Being prepared creates a sense of control, which helps one deal better with the change," says Nicholas.
When Nicholas sees people who are anticipating hair loss, he first refers them to a reputable wig organization before the hair loss occurs. "The wig specialist needs to see the existing hair if the client wants a close match," he explains. Gallagher shares that her patients who bought wigs unlike their own color and style were often ultimately unhappy with them. Wigs can be made of synthetic material, human hair, or a combination of the two. Prices range from a few hundred dollars for a synthetic wig to a few thousand for human hair. He recommends clients to wear the wig before actually losing their hair, so they feel comfortable with it when they have to wear it. Nicholas then teaches make-up techniques for lost eyebrows and eyelashes or to correct the sallow skin color that often occurs with chemotherapy treatments.
Nicholas warns that not every wig store or beauty salon is trained to work with clients with hair loss. He suggests getting referrals from other cancer clients, hospitals, or a local chapter of the American Cancer Society. "Ask the store or salon if they work with people who have cancer. A good establishment also deeply respects the confidentiality of their clients," says Nicholas.
Gallagher agrees that privacy is a top priority. "People with cancer can choose whom to tell about their diagnosis, but hair loss makes that information very public. Look for a wig shop that accepts private consultations or has concealed areas where clients will not feel they are on display," she says.
Finding Support
Dorsey admits that her doctors didn't give much attention to her hair loss. "It's just not a big deal to them; it's the mouth sores, dry mouth, and horrible gas pains they worry about." Dorsey turned to support groups, wig shops, cancer books, and chat rooms on the Internet for information.
According to Gallagher, getting a wig that works is an important step for many people with hair loss, but some need much more guidance. "Nurses can provide support and guidance about the sensations and experiences of hair loss," she says.
"Patients can usually predict how they will react to hair loss. Some view it as a minor annoyance; others see it as the worst part of the chemotherapy treatment. After listening to those concerns, a nurse can help create a plan of action with the patient." Gallagher reports that patients also appreciate hearing direct advice from their nurse or doctor--knowing when the hair is expected to fall out, how much, and practical tips on how to deal with it. "One of my patients reported that when she started losing hair, it would fall into her food or onto her pillow at night, leaving hair in her mouth. We found that wearing a turban to catch the hair during those times helped prevent feelings of resentment that surfaced. Nurses can offer small but real details like these."
Chemo Chic
Dorsey was often frustrated by how strangers reacted to her appearance. "I remember the first time I wore a turban and walked into a bakery--I scared the hell out of this woman. She looked at me with an expression that said 'cancer has just walked in.' I understood, though, because I used to be terrified of cancer too. Even in hospitals, if a friend and I walked down the hall wearing turbans, people would give us funny looks."
Nicholas shares a tip he learned from a client, "Wearing a scarf over a bald head looks unnatural because the scarf is too close to the scalp. Creating layers such as wearing two scarves or a scarf under a hat simulates the bulk of hair."
Dorsey felt pressured to wear her wig in certain settings, such as in front of strangers and children. "When you wear a wig, you're pretty much invisible. But wigs can get hot and uncomfortable." She and Libby Levinson, a woman in her support group, eventually tired of worrying about people's reactions and opted to wear scarves under baseball hats with various logos, dubbing it 'Chemo Chic.'
Hair is a protective shield for the scalp from sun, extreme temperatures, and other harsh elements. Both Gallagher and Nicholas recommend gentle hydrating scalp care--using a mild facial cleanser instead of shampoo, a daily moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher, and drinking adequate fluids (6-8 glasses of non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages daily).
The American Cancer Society sponsors a community-based, free national program for women with cancer called "Look Good... Feel Better." These workshops are offered in cancer centers, hospitals, and other community settings across the country. Teams of trained beauty professionals teach skin care, makeup, hair and nails, and the use of wigs, hats, turbans and scarves. For more information, visit the American Cancer Society web site or call 1-800-395-LOOK to find programs in your area.
Moving Forward
Now that Debbie Dorsey's hair has completely grown back, she sports a short, stylish cut. Reflecting on the experience she says, "I never really accepted or felt comfortable with the hair loss. But I learned that being bald didn't rob my femininity."
Gallagher says that she doesn't know if her patients overcome their feelings through the hair loss experience, but they eventually feel that they are managing it. "That's what I'm aiming for. If a person says "Oh everything's fine, I'll be fine,' I get nervous. That overly bright persona tends to be more fragile than someone who has natural ups and downs."
Dorsey's message to readers is for people to learn and talk about cancer and cancer prevention. "Until they can find a cure for cancer, we need to stop fearing it and take a proactive role by getting yearly screenings." Dorsey was featured in a recent PBS documentary titled "No Hair Day," which follows the making of a photography exhibit and the experiences of Dorsey and two other women undergoing chemotherapy.

ROCHESTER — Bootlegger's Footwear Centers will sponsor "A Night of Dreams" Comedy Show IV to raise funds for Howie's Field of Dreams. The show will be held at the Rochester Elks on Saturday, Jan. 26 and will feature three top Boston comics — Mike Prior, Jim Lauletta, and Harry Corcell.
All proceeds from the event are for the benefit of Howie's Field of Dreams, a baseball field for young athletes with disabilities which is nearing completion at Roger Allen Park in Rochester. pening day for the field, three years in the making, is scheduled for June 1, 2013. The field has been an ongoing project of Rochester Rotary Charities with the assistance and support of Roger Allen Recreation Association, Roger Allen Baseball, and family and friends of Howard "Howie" Seckendorf.
Community support for the project has also been overwhelming and to date more than $225,000 in cash has been raised through a series of fundraisers, corporate and individual contributions, and grants. An equal sum has also been donated by businesses and volunteers through in-kind labor and materials providing the infrastructure on site which includes a building with handicapped accessible facilities, fencing, and a "Green Monster" wall.
Tickets to the Comedy show are $20 each and can be purchased at Granite Steak & Grill Restaurant, Windjammers Restaurant, Profile Bank Loan Center, and Wit-Way Supply. Tax deductible donations to the "Howie's Field of Dreams" project can be made to the Rochester Rotary Charities, PO Box 779, Rochester, N.H.

Some special needs children have such rare genetic chromosomal disorders that it can be difficult for parents to even locate other survivors, let alone to ever dream about meeting them.
But this month nearly 20 families traveled from across the country, bringing along their children that have rare trisomy chromosomal abnormalities, to unite in person during the Trisomy Celebration 2012, held at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla.
Although they had become close friends through correspondence over the years, many of the families were meeting in person for the first time. Nearly all of these parents originally connected through social media outlets while trying to find support groups tailored to their child's specific trisomy disorders.
Jeannette Adamyk, a trisomy parent and advocate from Ocala, Fla., helped organize the event.
March is Trisomy Awareness Month, but Adamyk also wanted to meet her online support system after her son, Caleb Adamyk, died seven months ago. Caleb had Trisomy 18 and would have been 3-years-old on March 20.
The term trisomy is used when there is an additional, or third, chromosome instead of two. For example, Trisomy 18 is the addition of a third, number 18 chromosome, and Trisomy 9 is the addition of a third, number 9 chromosome.
"People email me often and tell us that our story has given others hope, but it's different to meet them in person. We've become like a big family and it's nice to meet that person, hug on that person, love on their babies, and to hug the people that have lost their babies," said Adamyk. "We want to raise awareness so other families don't feel like they are alone," said Adamyk.
Most of the children at the celebration were between the ages of 2 and 12 but the exception was 22-year-old Tess Maloy, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who has Trisomy 18. The youngest was Kaleb Johnston, 1, who has partial Trisomy 9, and who lives in Orlando.

The Mystery Hill archaeological site, better known today as America's Stonehenge, is situated on the exposed bedrock summit of Mystery Hill in North Salem, New Hampshire. The site consists of a core complex of 13 stone chambers, several enclosures, niches, stone walls, stoned lined drains, small grooves & basins, and other features which covers about one acre on the summit. Extending outward from and surrounding the core complex, are more stone walls, niches, standing stones, and two procession ways. Along the perimeter of the summit are four confirmed astronomical alignments. Below the summit on the slopes of the hill are a 14th chamber, two utilized natural caves, springs, stone walls, stone cairns, niches, standing stones, and other features. In total, the site covers about 105 acres.
America's Stonehenge is not unique. Throughout northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, there are thousands of archaeological sites with stone cairns, niches, enclosures, standing stones, and other types of structures. Over 500 of these sites contain stone chambers. Astronomical alignments have been confirmed at some of these sites as well. America's Stonehenge stands out amongst all of these others sites because it is arguably the most complex, sophisticated, and visually impressive of all the known stone structure sites in Northeastern U.S.
An impressive number of carbon-14 dates have been obtained from charcoal samples found during excavations at the site. These dates range from 7,000 years ago to as recent as 200 years ago. The earliest c-14 date which is directly linked to construction activity on the site is 2995 BP or about 3,000 years ago. C-14 dates and some artifacts found at the site suggest continued activity at the site into the early historic period just prior to white settlement of the region. Conservatively speaking, there is evidence of continued human presence related to the stone structures at the site for a 2500 year time period. Detailed archaeological and architectural analysis of the structures suggests the site went through five cultural phases each with its own distinct architecture. Rather than being built as single large scale construction project, the site evolved through multiple building episodes that expanded, modified, and upgraded it.
Who built it?
A number of theories have been advanced in 70+ years since the first systematic investigation of the site in the late 1930's. William Goodwin, the first investigator of the site, theorized it was built by Irish Culdee monks around 1000 AD. Hugh O'Neill Hencken, a curator with Harvard's Peabody Museum, quickly countered Goodwin's argument by stating the site was built by Jonathan Pattee who lived on the property from 1825 to his death in 1849. Barry Fell in his famous (or infamous) book America BC (1976) argued the site was built between 800 and 600 BC by Goidelic Celtics . In recent years, the theory that the site was built by Native American peoples has gained creditability in the ongoing debate over the site. The Native American theory was formally published in Mary Gage's book America's Stonehenge Deciphered (2006).
The proposed purposes for the site's construction are as varied as the theories of who built it. Interesting enough, with the exception of the arguments that the site was built by Jonathan Pattee, all of the explanations for the purpose of the site have revolved around the concept of the place as a religious or ceremonial center.

Trump Tower meeting laid bare in Senate panel report
WASHINGTON, U.S. - In a report that is set to hurt the Trump administration, a Senate Panel on Wednesday released documents related to the controversial Trump Tower meeting held in June 2016.
Revelations about the meeting, that first emerged last year, and then through other leaks through 2017 stirred up a scandal, rattling the Trump administration.
Now, the documents released by the Senate panel about the meeting between top Trump campaign aides and a Russian delegation promising political "dirt" include 2,500 pages of transcripts.
These include details on the interviews with Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, who met a Russian lawyer ahead of the 2016 election, in the hope of receiving some dirt on the President's rival in the election - Hillary Clinton.
Despite several media reports drawing links and digging up her part, the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, denies working on behalf of Moscow.
Soon after the revelations first emerged, the meeting was included as part of an ongoing probe by the U.S. Department of Justice into alleged Russia meddling in 2016 that is now in its second year.
On Wednesday, after additional witness interview, the documents were released by the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley.
In a statement on Wednesday after releasing the documents, the Republican senator said, "Americans rightly have many questions about this meeting, and today, we are releasing the transcripts and exhibits from interviews we've conducted to allow the public to know what we know. These materials, taken in their entirety, provide the most complete public picture of the events surrounding the meeting to date."
Earlier this year, Grassley decided that he would permit the release the 2,500 pages of transcripts, a decision which the Democrats welcomed.
In January, Grassley said, "Let's get them out there for everyone to see."
According to reports, as part of several investigations into Russia's alleged interference in the U.S. election, the Senate Judiciary Committee interviewed Trump Jr and four other people who attended the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower in New York.
The panel head testimony from Rob Goldstone, who arranged the meeting with Veselnitskaya; Rinat Akhmetshin, Russian-American lobbyist; Ike Kaveladze, Georgian-American businessman and a translator.
While Veselnitskaya was not interviewed, the committee released her written responses to a letter that Grassley sent her in 2017.
Meanwhile, officials revealed that two people who attended the 2016 meeting - Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior White House advisor and Paul Manafort, then-campaign manager, declined to be interviewed for the investigation.
The documents show that during his interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee, Trump Jr said that his father and the President Donald Trump may have weighed in directly as his lawyers crafted an initial response to news reports that his top campaign aides met in Trump Tower with Russian emissaries during the 2016 campaign.
According to the documents, the first first public response to the revelations stated that the focus of the meeting was "adoptions."
However, this response failed to mention that the meeting took place only after the Russians promised to deliver "dirt" on Trump's Democratic rival.
This particular omission has become a topic of interest to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the grueling probe into collusion and possible obstruction of justice by Trump.
Commenting on one of the president's closest and longest-serving aides, Trump Jr. reportedly told the Senate, "He may have commented through Hope Hicks. I believe some [of Trump's comments] may have been [incorporated into the formal response], but this was an effort through lots of people, mostly counsel."
Later, the President's son told the senators that he never mentioned to his father he was going to hold the meeting and did not think he talked with him about it immediately afterward.
He reportedly said, "I wouldn't have wasted his time with it."

Today, I was calling pest control people to ask for information of a swarm I could get. One guy said if I had called 10 minutes later they would have been dead. He was kind enough to wait 40 minutes for me to get there. The amazing coincidence (if you are a non-believer) is I got my suit and smoker TODAY and the smoker was on my porch as I was leaving without it. I ran in and got dryer lint and out to get pine needles. Then I grabbed a project tray and quickly drilled holes in the lid for air. I was on my way, fully equipped.
When I got there, the guy was really nice. He and I got on our gear. He had opened up the eave of the house earlier that morning and was coming back to kill them before I called. He helped me get his ladder in place and didn't rush me. we both examined the cut comb for the queen, but were fairly sure she was in the brood we could not reach. Behind a separating board was another comb that could have been her home since an outside entry to this area had been built with propolis limiting the entry. I had to make the decision to cover what I had and let him do his job.
I brought them home and loaded them in my TOP BAR hive, added an entrance feeder and made a VIDEO. You can see it at about 7PM Central time on the TOP BAR FORUM.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Marshawn Lynch's holdout is over, ending one distraction so far for the Super Bowl champions.
Lynch arrived at the Seattle Seahawks practice facility on Thursday afternoon following the team's morning practice. The team confirmed Lynch had reported for camp, ending a holdout that spanned a week.
Lynch was caught by television cameras talking on his phone out near the Seahawks practice fields wearing a hooded "Beast Mode" sweatshirt and knit cap on an 85 degree day. He was later hanging out in the lobby of the facility.
ESPN reported earlier Thursday that Lynch was expected to end his holdout. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said after practice that he did not know if Lynch was on the verge of reporting.
"Hopefully he's here," quarterback Russell Wilson said after practice. "He's such a good football player we would love to have him here and he's done a tremendous job for us since I've been here. I know that. He's had some unbelievable runs for us."
Lynch must still pass his physical and be added to the active roster. Seattle's roster is currently at the 90-man limit.
Lynch missed the first week of training camp unhappy with his contract status. Lynch is scheduled to make up to $5.5 million this season in base pay and roster bonuses. It's the third year of a four-year deal Lynch signed before the 2012 season.
Seattle made clear on the first day of training camp that it had a plan in place before Lynch signed his extension and it was not inclined to stray from those plans.
"We've had a substantial plan working for us for years now and Marshawn was a big part of this plan," Carroll said on the opening day of camp. "Just a couple of years back we made a big statement and made a big effort for him and we wish that he was with us now."
The dispute was building throughout the offseason with Lynch staying away from organized team activities and rumors that he would skip June's mandatory minicamp in protest of his contract structure.
Lynch showed up for the minicamp in June to avoid a hefty fine. But he finally decided to make a stand with the start of training camp. He could be fined by the team $30,000 per day for each day of camp missed, plus a percentage of his prorated signing bonus.
Lynch has been the workhorse for Seattle's offense since his arrival via trade during the 2010 season. Lynch has 1,066 carries for 4,624 yards and 41 touchdowns in the regular season since joining the Seahawks.
With Lynch away, the Seahawks have let Robert Turbin and Christine Michael get the bulk of carries during camp. That was already going to be the case during the preseason with Seattle wanting to keep Lynch healthy for the regular season opener against Green Bay.
Both Turbin and Michael have been impressive thus far with Lynch gone.
"The more guys that we have the better," Wilson said. "To have a guy like Marshawn Lynch ... is a good thing. We definitely want him on our team for sure."
NOTES: The United States Marine Corps conducted a demonstration after practice on Thursday that featured helicopters flying over the facility and dropping Marines into Lake Washington before coming ashore on the practice field next to the water. There was large contingent of military from all branches in attendance at Thursday's practice. ... Carroll said DT Jesse Williams has a "significant" knee injury suffered in practice on Wednesday and may require surgery. ... Seattle placed TE Anthony McCoy (Achilles) on injured reserve and signed WR Ronald Johnson. ... Rookie DE Cassius Marsh sat out Thursday practice with a sore groin muscle. Carroll said they believe it's minor, but don't want it to get any worse.

GASTONIA � Crest solidified its second-place position in the Big South 3A Conference baseball race with a 7-4 win at Forestview Tuesday night.
The Chargers (12-4, 6-2) remain two games behind league-leading South Point (15-1, 8-0), but are comfortably ahead of North Gaston (5-3), Forestview (12-6, 3-4) and Kings Mountain (3-4).
�Every Tuesday and Friday this season, the league standings have jumped up and down,� said Crest coach Steven Hodge, whose team scored the first five runs of Tuesday�s victory. �We just want to stay in the upper part and this was a good win for us.�
Right-handers Nick Hastings and Tripp Hastings combined on a seven-hitter and both also fueled the offense by combining to reach base five times in seven trips, with Nick Hastings rapping three hits, including a triple and a two-run single.
�Nick did his thing on the mound and came up with big hits when we needed them,� Hodge said. �As a team, we swung the bats really well.�
Crest got eight hits off Forestview pitching, knocking out Jaguars starter and loser Aaron Rumburg (6-2) in the fifth after he�d gone 4 1-3 innings.
Tripp Hastings walked twice and had a RBI squeeze bunt in his three plate appearances, with Brock Melton�s two-run home run in the third opening the Chargers� scoring and Jonathan Presnell adding a RBI single.
Nick Hastings started and went five innings for the victory. He yielded four hits, two runs (one earned), four walks and a hit batter while striking out nine. Tripp Hastings retired the last six batters, allowing three hits, two runs and three walks while striking out four.
Crest hosts Chase Wednesday before enjoying its league off date on Friday before returning to Big South 3A action next Tuesday at home against North Gaston.
For Forestview, the loss makes Friday�s game at North Gaston extremely important.
�This gives Crest a pretty good cushion on us right now and leaves us, North Gaston and Kings Mountain battling it out,� Jaguars coach Brian Horne said.
South Point is one win from clinching a playoff berth and Crest is close behind. Two other N.C. 3A playoff spots are up for grabs for the rest of the seven-team league.
While Horne was disappointed with the loss, he was pleased with how his team battled after falling behind 5-0; The Jaguars� last out was recorded with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning.
�We came out a little flat,� Horne said. �But I�m proud of the guys for not packing it in. Some guys came off the bench for us and scrapped and made some things happen.�
Cole Poole�s three hits lead the Jaguars� eight-hit offense, with Dale Rauch coming off the bench to get two hits and Boone Owenby also getting two hits.

DR. HOOK- Pee gravel: Kidney stones no laughing matter
"Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." As if!
Quite a few people seem to believe their houses are made of Pyrex, so they get out their slings like David going after Goliath. That's why politicians shouldn't have negative campaign ads– it ends up like two nasty high school girls fighting to be Prom Queen. Or people who are up in arms about same-sex marriage don't notice that they're on their 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th, or Elizabeth Taylor's number) marriage with affairs on the side.
So should those with glass kidneys throw stones?
Kidney stones are no laughing matter. Twelve percent of men and five percent of women will develop symptoms from kidney stones by age 70. The stone in the kidney usually isn't what is painful. The misery starts when the kidney spits the stone into the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder). Every moment the stone travels down the ureter, the person writhes in pain like Elaine dancing on Seinfeld. The pain waxes and wanes– usually over 20-60 minutes.
The pain can be so severe that nausea and vomiting can result. The pain can start in the flank of the back and travel down to the side of the abdomen and into the inguinal pelvic region. Folks can often tell better than GPS where the stone is. "Doc, the pain started up and back here, and it feels like it's down here right now," they say between gasps.
Blood in the urine is usually present like Peter Gabriel's Red Rain. The blood is irritating and can make the person want to pee more than usual.
Most stones pass soon, but it can take up to a month for bigger stones to come out. (Call them kidney boulders?) Some medicines can make it easier to pee out the stone, but if it gets stuck, a urologist will go in and pull it out.
It's important to identify the stone to see what it's made of, because dietary changes might be able to prevent another stone from forming. So folks passing a stone are asked to urinate in a filter to catch the stone.
Eighty percent are calcium stones, in particular calcium oxalate. Believe it or not, folks with calcium oxalate stones often need to increase their dietary calcium intake. My patients always end up frowning at me like Gary Coleman, "What you talking about, Willis?"
Well, high blood calcium such as caused by hyperparathyroidism can causes stones. But oral calcium causes oxalate to be pooped out. So increasing calcium in the diet will actually lower calcium oxalate stones in the kidneys.
Folks with gout usually have high uric acid levels. Uric acid can be seen as gravel-like sediment in the urine, a bad sign that kidney stones might be forming.
Half of people who pass one kidney stone will do it again within 10 years. Ouch! So changing risk factors is advisable. Hydration is very important to prevent stone formation because the kidneys need fluid to keep filtering well. For example, marathon runners are at risk for kidney stones.
Diabetics and obese people are also at risk for kidney stones, so diet and exercise are good things. High animal protein, high sodium, and high table sugar (there goes dinner for most Americans) increase the risk of stones. And for those who are really into vitamin C, high levels of that otherwise helpful vitamin can cause kidney stones.
Diagnosis and treatment of stones is for another article. I just hope if any readers experience a stone, it will be the Rolling Stones and not the type involving your kidneys.

A few thousand inbred elite are practicing eugenics on the rest of humanity. They are ruthless and coldhearted and very cunning. The only way to prevent them from controlling your lives and exterminating most of humanity is to admit they exist, learn about them, tell others about them and render their system of control powerless. www.infowars.com
Health problems are one of the dilemmas of the people. Every single one of us, or someone we know, is facing some health challenges. It seems like everywhere you turn, there's a story about how unhealthy most Americans have become. One of the main threats in our health is the kidney problem. Obesity and diabetes are some of the major health issues we see. Both are, no doubt, on the rise among both adults and children. In a recent report from the New York Times, kidney stones are becoming more and more common in children as young as 5 or 6. Back in the '70s and '80s, a child with kidney stones was a rare case; nothing compared to what it is today. Two of the biggest risk factors are children (and adults) not drinking enough water and eating too much salt. It is hard, however, for parents to regulate their children's intake 24-7 especially when parents are at work and while the children are at school. There's really nothing more to do than to educate your children about the issue and healthy eating and most importantly, set a good example as well. Kidney stones are harmful to your children. In addition to that, it can also leave a major strain on your budget. Let' face it, in this world where all of the cost of the products and the medicines cost an arm and leg. It's very difficult to all of us to deal with money problems. If you are unable to cover those unexpected doctor bills, payday installment loans can get you the immediate cash you need to accommodate you or your child's journey to recovery. We want to have not only a happy but also a healthy lifestyle for our family.

Oof. Please dont take my word as the say all of this awards...in all honestly I might not know as much of what I'm talking about as I think I do and I could be very wrong. In all respects I do hope I'm very wrong.
I'm only involved in the sense I have sat way far back in the shadows observing and so I dont know the innerworkings. I have seen a lot of really talented and deserving smaller or individually published comics get crunched by the heels of a more popular or more in-group comic who is friends with a good deal of other webcomic artists. Then again I've seen that happening in almost every aspect, and the award acts more like another example than the result. Being a small personally owned comic is really rough at times for doing anything.
(I will say that in retrospect I have seen some smaller and lesser known comics strike out of the blue like freaking ninjas.)
But more depressingly, I have seen some really great talents become very angry and jaded at the awards or webcomics in general which causes them to abandon the whole thing. Because not to sound tired and cliche, that really is when the whole system fails on itself and there is no hope. Some of my favorite comics are those that arent part of a big group or immensly well known. They are the ones that likely would never make it into these awards for the recognition I feel they deserve.
I wish there was a way to do something to fix that. And blah ye gods I talk too freaking much when its late at night. X_x
