Each year I treat the Vino and Canvas team to a fun night out during the holiday season as a way to say "thank you" for all of their hard work, flexibility, and dedication throughout the year. On November 30, our team enjoyed an evening of wine tasting, education, delicious appetizers, and bottling our own wine at Su Vino Winery in Old Town Scottsdale. I had heard about the establishment from a friend and thought it would be something that the group would enjoy. Besides, our company name is Vino and Canvas and as we always say, "the vino comes before the canvas".
We arrived at Su Vino Winery to find a table neatly prepared for us and were immediately greeted by the charming staff. Cory Whalin, Proprietor/Winemaker, was our host for the evening. Not only was he fun and enthusiastic, but he was also very knowledgable about the wines and wine making business. We indulged in nearly every appetizer on the menu and sampled at least half a dozen wines! I am confident there was an extra sample or two.
As a mobile painting party business with events taking place throughout the Phoenix Valley, we are rarely all in one room together. We often only catch one another in passing. This gathering was a special time for us to catch up with one another and share stories. For me, it was a reminder that I am truly fortunate. Our team is connected. They are friends with one another and simply enjoying being together. These relationships are important when working together at events, for making our customers feel at home, and for growing the business.
After wine tasting and chatting, Cory introduced us to the wine bottling area of the establishment. I've had the pleasure of blending my own wines before but never actually bottling! This was an exciting process to see and we were all thrilled to participate. I had made up a one-of-a-kind Vino and Canvas wine bottle label prior to the event and the labels were beautifully printed and waiting for bottle placement. From sanitizing, to filling, to corking, to sealing, and labeling… We each bottled our own bottle and had something to take home to remember the evening. The process was surprisingly easy!
If you are in Old Town, stop by Su Vino Winery. It is not only filled with fun wine themed gifts and beautiful gift baskets but lots of wine! Sample some wine! Cory and his team will not disappoint.
– Melissa Trinkl, Founder of Vino and Canvas

The San Antonio Talons entered Saturday's game as the hottest team in the Arena Football League, having reeled off seven straight victories. The Storm went in as the AFL's lone undefeated team at home.
Something had to give, and it did. In a big way.
The Talons outscored Tampa Bay 30-7 in the second quarter and cruised from there, winning 77-56 before 9,328 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
"You can't play the way we did against good teams like that," Storm coach Dave Ewart said. "We had guys showing up in the third quarter wanting to knock guys out. Where was that in the first two quarters?"
The loss put a damper on Tampa Bay's (6-8) wild-card hopes with four games left, two of them at home. Cleveland lost to fall to 6-8, but Jacksonville and New Orleans won, improving to 7-7.
Georgia (7-7) played at Utah later Saturday.
"I ain't worried about the playoffs," Ewart said. "We've got to worry about winning a game."
Things for the Storm started going downhill midway through the second quarter.
Shortly after the Talons' Dwight McLean intercepted a Nick Hill pass off the netting in the end zone, Jason Willis caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Garcia (eight TD passes) to give San Antonio (11-3) the lead for good at 20-14.
"You can't have balls bounce off receivers' hands like that," Ewart said. "Those balls have to be caught."
On the next possession, Hill, who threw for 353 yards to pass 10,000 for his career, was called for intentional grounding, resulting in a safety. Jomo Wilson hauled in the second of his four touchdown catches, an 18-yarder, on San Antonio's next possession.
The Talons recovered the ensuing fumbled kickoff. That led to another Wilson TD, an 8-yarder, and in just under six minutes, San Antonio had turned a one-point deficit into a 22-point lead.
"Too many mistakes," said Ewart, whose team didn't get closer than 15 the rest of the way.
Hill, making his first home start, finished 28-for-42 with five passing TDs and two rushing. Former USF receiver Amarri Jackson caught nine passes for 105 yards and three TDs, and former FSU player De'Cody Fagg added 10 catches for 127 yards and one score.
Things don't get easier for the Storm, which hosts the AFL's top team, Philadelphia (11-3), on Friday. The Soul embarrassed Tampa Bay 83-48 on April 20.

"Have you been a home owner with a mortgage before? It may be a trying situation if youre not..."
Have you been a home owner with a mortgage before? It may be a trying situation if you're not familiar with the subject. Mortgage markets are constantly changing. You will know just what you need to know by reading the article below.
Start early in preparing yourself for a home loan application. If you want to purchase a home, make sure you have your http://on.trulia.com/1XnPlxj financials ready. This means you need to save up a decent sized nest egg, and make sure your debt is well situated. Procrastinating may leave you without a mortgage approval.
If your home is already worth much less than is currently owed and you have had issues refinancing, keep trying. Recently, HARP has been changed to allow more homeowners to refinance. Speak to a lender now since many are open to Harp refinance options. You can always find a different lender if this lender won't work with you.
When waiting to get word of approval, try not to incur additional debt. Your lender may recheck your credit as a final step in your mortgage approval. Excessive spending may cause your loan to be disapproved. All major expenses should be put off until after your mortgage application has been approved.
Be sure and determine if your property has declined in value prior to applying for a new mortgage. Your home may look the same as the day you moved in, however other factors can impact the way your bank views your home's value, and can even hurt your chances for approval.
Have all your financial paperwork in order before meeting with your lender. Your lender requires that you show them proof of income along with financial statements and additional assets that you may have. Having these ready will help the process go faster and smoother.
Think about getting a consultant hired if you wish to get help with your home mortgage. A home loan consultant can help make sure you get a good deal. You'll also be sure that the all is on the up and up when you've got the knowledge of a consultant at your fingertips.
Shop for the best possible interest rate. The bank's goal is locking you into a high rate. Don't let them take you for all you are worth! Shop around to find the best interest rate available.
Whenever you go to refinance your mortgage, it is best that you understand all the terms that are involved and get a written full disclosure. The disclosure must include all fees and closing costs. If the company isn't honest or forthcoming, they aren't the one for you.
Investigate a number of financial institutions to find the best mortgage lender. Check with the Better Business Bureau, online reviews, and people you know who are familiar with the institution to learn of their reputation. When you are well versed on the details of a number of different lenders, your choice will be simplified.
Get rid of as many debts as you can before choosing to get a Canadian foreclosure listings house. A mortgage is a big responsibility, and you have to be secure in your ability to pay the mortgage each month, regardless of what happens. Having fewer debts will make it easier to get a home mortgage loan.
Balloon mortgages are the easiest loans to get approved. This is a shorter term loan, with the balance owed due at the loan's expiry. This is a risky loan to get since interest rates can change or your financial situation can get worse.
Adjustable rate mortgages, or ARM, don't expire when the term is over. Instead, the rate is adjusted to match current bank rates. This could increase your payments hugely.
Don't be tempted to lie about your salary and other personal details on your loan application. If you lie in any way your loan is likely to be denied. If you are dishonest, a lender will not trust you with its money.
You must take the time to learn how to obtain the home loan that is right for you before applying for one. You don't want to end up spending years only to have lost your home or struggle making ends meet. It is better to get a mortgage that fits your budget, so look for a company that will work with you.

Is there a right to accrued vacation time under California law?
UPDATED: August 9, 2012
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the laws of many states, employees have no right to vacation time or pay. However, once provided by an employer, vacation is treated under California law as compared to many other states and under federal law.
Under California law, it is also true that there is no right to paid vacation time, but if an employer establishes a policy or practice of providing paid vacation, am employer does not have carte blance to limit how much vacation time is accrued. A "use it or lose it" vacation policy is unlawful under California law. This type of vacation policy is one that grants paid vacation in a certain amount for a certain period and then says if you don't use the vacation within that defined period, too bad, you can no longer use it. For example, if an employer has a policy that allows 10 days of paid vacation per calendar year but says if you don't use all 10 days in the calendar year in which they are earned, they are lost.
However, it is legal for an employer to allow vacation time to accrue to a reasonable cap after which no more vacation time accrues. In the case of an employer with a vacation allotment of 10 days, a reasonable accrual cap might be two times the annual vacation allotment, or 20 days, after which no more vacation accrues until some is used. Of course, an accrual cap should be clearly spelled out in writing such as in an employee handbook.
In contrast, in Wisconsin it is presumed that you get to keep your vacation pay unless there is a company policy to the contrary. In other words, in Wisconsin, the presumption is that you can carry it over. In many other states, imposing a "use it or lose it" policy is lawful, unless there is an agreement that states differently between the employer and employee.

Local jobs to be axed as company refuses to meet union
FOURTEEN workers in Kilkenny are facing the prospect of joining the dole queue, as Koverto Colour Works Print in Purcellsinch prepares to cut its workforce having refused to negotiate with trade union representatives.
Workers – some of whom have worked there for more than ten years – have been left devastated by the announcement that their jobs are in jeopardy. A 30-day consultation period is currently under way, however workers say they are being denied access to the representation they desire.
Claire Keane, regional officer for the UNITE trade union, says that the company has refused to recognise the union in negotiations.
"We have written to management," she said.
"They have completely ignored my letters and correspondence. We just want them to meet with us."
Workers say they have been given few reasons for the decision. They say that their work is being outsourced to Dublin, to the newly-acquired business Print Finishers in Cherry Orchard.
Three years ago, the staff took a 10% pay cut as the company through difficult times. Workers say they have worked weekends, late shifts, and suddenly feel as though the rug has been pulled from under them.
The staff whose jobs are under threat were only told of the move last week, but many feel that it has been a long time in the planning.
"There should have been discussions when this was at the contemplation stage, which we believe was months ago," says Ms Keane.
"Not after it had been decided. This has now just been dropped on them, and it is very worrying for everyone."
Those who leave voluntarily now are entitled to three weeks' redundancy, but if this option is not taken, they will be left with just two weeks. Staff have been told to appoint someone from within their ranks to represent them in negotiations, but they have in turn circulated a petition, with 100% of workers indicating that they wish to have the UNITE union represent them.
"They really feel out of their depth," says Ms Keane.
"The company has accountants, advisors, HR people, and they are telling staff 'you can't have any representation'. They will not negotiate with a trade union, and so the people don't have all the information to hand, yet they are being told to make a decision."
Koverto Colour World Print, one of Ireland's leading print and envelope manufacturers, employs 51 people at its Purcellsinch facility. Repeated attempts to contact managing director Walter Lanigan for comment were unsuccessful.
Colour World holds some very large print contracts, including those for government and semi-state bodies such as the ESB and An Post. Recently, the company was responsible for printing the hundreds of thousands of household charge leaflets to be distributed for the Department of the Environment.
The cull was announced the same week that another business in the envelope industry, the Envelope Supply Company, announced 32 new jobs for Kilkenny.

Fetal Ventriculomegaly
It may be caused by problems with how the brain grows. It may also be caused by the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fluid surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord. It should move smoothly. If its flow is slowed or stopped, it can put pressure on the ventricles and make them get bigger.
Risk Factors
Health problems that may raise your child's risk are:
- Brain cysts
- Spina bifida
- Bleeding within the brain
- A rare birth defect called agenesis of the corpus callosum
Certain infections of the pregnant mother can raise the risk. These are:
- Cytomegalovirus —an infection caused by a type of herpes virus
- Toxoplasmosis —an infection linked to cat stool or infected food
- Syphilis —a sexually transmitted infection
- Chickenpox
- Lymphocytic choriomeningitis—a virus spread by mice (rare)
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for your child.
More ultrasounds may be done to check the baby's health. Sometimes this health problem gets better on its own.
Draining the Fluid
If the problem gets worse, other methods will be needed to drain the fluid. This can be done by placing a ventriculoperitoneal shunt after your child is born.

Favorite Cookbooks Giveaway, Fundraisers and Dealios
Is it just me, or did Black Friday hit early this year? My inbox is flooded with special offers from just about everywhere. Perhaps I shouldn't sign up for quite so many e-newsletters!
Speaking of deals, I have a few things to share for the upcoming week. Stick with me here, I will jump onto a few different things in this post …
I am going to be hosting "A Week of Favorite Cookbooks" Giveaway, starting on Monday, and lasting through Friday (giving away a different surprise cookbook each day). Keep in mind, this is just some of my favorites, I have many more! If the response is good, I may be coaxed into doing this giveaway again. So each weekday of this coming week you will receive:
- A giveaway of a "surprise" cookbook with a mini-review of the book (there will be options for gluten-free, whole foods, and vegan foodies too!)
- A recipe either from that cookbook or inspired by that cookbook
Five days, five books, five reviews, five recipes, right here. Be there, enter, enjoy, win.
Also, there are two more fundraiser cookbooks that were just released:
Kid-Friendly Recipes: The Blogosphere's Best (ebook)
Cost: You Decide. Proceeds are donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and you can purchase this e-cookbook of 49 recipes for any dollar amount. You choose how much you are comfortable donating. I did contribute a favorite recipe to this e-cookbook that I think you will enjoy!
The BloggerAid Cookbook: Recipes from bloggers around the world making a difference (full color book)
Cost: $30. Proceeds go to the United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP). Honestly, I am not sure if I have a recipe in this book or not! I submitted on time, but didn't follow the proper procedute. So I assumed I was out, but I keep getting all of the BloggerAid Cookbook "insider" emails. Either way, I am sure it is a fantastic book and for a great cause.
Finally, before I forget, the Cooking Light dealio ends today. And as I found out, you can order it even if you have a subscription. As long as you use the exact same address that is on your subscription they will simply tack on another year – no overlap. So of course, I ordered!
Also, I received an email about $5.00 worth of printable coupons from Cascadian Farms. They have tons of good products, but I like their organic frozen fruit (a must for making smoothies in winter!) when on sale … and I have coupons. They are pricey otherwise. Anyway, I wanted to pass these gems on, click here to print them.
Oh yes, one last deal mention. If you do live near a Whole Foods, be sure to pick up their Whole Deal Flyer/Booklet this month too. They are starting to be better about putting items on sale while the corresponding coupons are on. They had a fair price on Tazo tea, which turned into a good price with the $1.00 off coupon on the Whole Deal.
Did I miss any great coupons, deals, or fundraisers? Do tell.

Romark bites at region's onboard catering sector
Southern Russia food producer Romark, whose parent company Urozhaynoye has 9,000 hectares under cultivation in the Stavropol eco-region, is opening an office in the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre next month to target the Middle East's onboard catering sector with its La Batata range of crisp veggie health snacks.
The company, which produces snacks using its patented and proprietary oil dispersal production system, says following strong interest from regional carriers in its GMO, gluten, preservative and colourant-free range, it will now invest in a dedicated packaging line to meet their needs. Romark's regional breakthrough enquiries came at the World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo in Dubai.
"We have received a great deal of interest from Middle East airlines but who want our snacks in smaller packages and we will set up a separate line for this – it's worth the investment," said Ilya Stroyev, General Manager. "We chose Dubai for our first operation outside of Russia because we want to service this region's carriers because of their high passenger levels, their commitment to serving the best and the growth potential," he said.
"Our timing is right because of the fall in the value of the rouble we are offering the highest quality product at a very competitive price."

US Tax Law Changes: View from the Cliff
By Ken Meissner
(First of three parts)
First Published in Business World (4/15/2013)
Just as the US Congress was about to take US taxpayers over the cliff, standing by and allowing massive tax increases and across-the-board budget cuts to kick in under previous legislation, cooler heads prevailed. The parties agreed to a limited package of tax increases, revisions, and extensions of key provisions that were about to "sunset", and that avoided the so-called "Fiscal Cliff."
As a result, income tax rates will go up for a small number of high-income taxpayers. Some key elements of the tax law that have been a source of continuing uncertainty, with provisions that the US Congress had to keep revisiting and revising annually or biennially, have now gained some stability. In addition, some favorable provisions that many taxpayers had come to rely on have been given another year or two of life, setting the stage for more cliffhanger negotiations in 2014 or 2015. Here's a rundown of key changes:
Income tax rates in general. Congress cut income tax rates for people at every income level back in 2001. However, due to some quirks in US tax legislation, they were able to put those rate cuts in place only through the end of 2010. When the older, higher tax rates and tax brackets were about to expire at the end of 2010, they managed to keep those lower rates in place for everyone, but only for two more years. Technically, everyone was pushed into the higher pre-millennium tax brackets at the stroke of midnight on December 31, 2012. In the early morning hours of January 1, 2013, the US Senate, and later on that same day, the US House of Representatives, passed the "American Taxpayer Relief Act" which President Obama signed into law. Here are the tax brackets that are now in place retroactive to January 1, 2013. Unlike before, these new brackets have no built-in expiration date. Most of the rates have not changed. The ones that have changed are shown here in boldface.
* Before 2001, there was a so-called "marriage penalty," because when two single people with jobs married, and both continued working, they often found the tax on their combined incomes was higher than the tax they paid when they were single. The 2001 rate cut law did not completely eliminate this marriage penalty, but it softened the penalty by expanding the 15% rate bracket for joint returns to twice the amount of the 15% rate bracket for single taxpayers. From 2011, the married couples' 15% bracket was scheduled to revert to 1⅔ the size of the singles' 15% bracket. Congress postponed this change for two years at the end of 2010. Now the more-generous 15% bracket for couples has been made permanent.
No more "holiday" for Social Security Tax. The employee portion of the Social Security and Medicare Tax goes back up to a 6.2% rate. It had been temporarily reduced to 4.2% for 2011 and 2012. Employees in the US will see a small decrease in their 2013 paychecks as result of this provision.
Income tax rates on dividends and long-term capital gains. The 2001 rate cut law reduced the tax rate for long term capital gains to 15% for most taxpayers. Before that, it was 20% for most people. That 20% top rate has now been reinstated, but only for high-income taxpayers, whose top regular tax rate is now 39.6%. The more-favorable 15% rate (0% for some low-income taxpayers) has now been made permanent.
In 2003, most corporate dividends were made eligible for the same, low tax rates that applied to long-term capital gains — – a major exception applies to foreign corporations whose home countries do not have comprehensive income tax treaties with the US. There are also some holding period requirements designed to keep people from rapidly buying and selling stock, holding shares just long enough to harvest low-rate dividend income.
This reduced rate for most dividends—which was set to expire several times over the last decade—is now permanent. Most dividends are now subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%. High income taxpayers who pay a 20% rate on long-term capital gains will pay 20% on most dividend income as well.
What's more, the zero percent rate for lower income taxpayers (US$72,500 for joint return filers and US$36,250 for singles) continues to apply, but with a slight change. Previously, if taxpayers exceeded the zero percent bracket threshold, the entire gain was subject to the 15% rate. Under the new law, the zero percent rate can still apply to capital gains and qualified dividends even if the taxpayer's income exceeds the zero-bracket level.
New Tax on Net Investment Income for high income taxpayers
One significant new feature of US tax law starting in 2013 is not a result of the new Fiscal Cliff law. To help pay for some aspects of the new health care system often referred to as "Obamacare," Congress has mandated a new tax on net investment income.
This tax, which applies to taxpayers with Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) above US$200,000 for single taxpayers or US$250,000 for joint filers, is 3.8%. It applies to the lower of two numbers: (1) all of a taxpayer's passive and investment income, or (2) the portion of a taxpayer's AGI that exceeds the relevant US$200,000 or US$250,000 threshold. Note that this tax applies based on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. In some cases, a taxpayer could have zero taxable income —– or even a net loss –— and still be subject to this tax if his gross income is high enough and his passive and investment income is a positive number. Investment income is generally defined for this purpose as interest, dividends and capital gains as well as passive income. Taxpayers should pay close attention to intercompany loans and personal loans to businesses. In some cases, the interest from such loans may unnecessarily create net investment income subject to the new 3.8% tax.
Over the next two weeks, we will continue to highlight the various significant features of the recent changes to US tax laws.

3) Some of my posts are racially driven and can be perceived in a negative, hateful, controversial manner. But please understand that is not my intent. My intent is to showcase the truth about being black in America, acknowledge our history and come up with strategic plans to move forward. I am not a racist or xenophobic according to modern day terms by any means. I am simply a woman who cares about black people and that does not mean I hate all other races. I just choose to uplift my race and focus on the problems I witness in my very own community. I am aware that racism and discrimination occurs all over the world and things could be much worse, but that's not my life, America is. I hope to one day accumulate so much wealth that I am able to impact the world, but right now my pincers are small and I can only bite off what I can chew. I believe black people need to go back to the basics by understanding their history and how it has influenced their life. At some point we must heal and move forward and I intend to be a part of that movement.
4) I am very opinionated about black hair. At the end of the day I am all about the preservation of black hair. I want black women to be collectively known for their thick, coarse, kinky, curly hair and not something we are not. I just look forward to the day where black natural hair outweighs weaves, wigs and relaxers. I just want black women to be happy with their own hair and not feel the need to find beauty and solace in store bought hair. Just because I am an advocate for natural hair does not mean I hate any other way a woman wears her hair. I tolerate all hair types and have a preference for natural hair. It should be known that I am a people lover and love all people regardless of how they adorn themselves.
5) It is not my intentions to misrepresent, copy, plagiarize or use someone else's work without giving proper credit. I have learned so much in school and life in general that often times it is hard to understand where the source of knowledge came from. If I ever use someone's work, I will give credit where credit is due. If you feel that I have used your work without giving proper credit, please contact me directly so we can discuss it like mature adults. I do not read or watch TV so much of my thoughts are organic. My thoughts and ideas are those of my own unless otherwise noted. If I quote something and do not remember the source because I read it from google, I will state that and continue on with my blog. If the original source is identified, I have no problem editing my post to state such. We live in an age of much creativity and ever changing technology. We can't be sure that no one has ever thought what we have. Hebrews quotes, nothing is new under the sun and I am learning that more each day as I witness awesome parallels in my life. I definitely believe in God as well as ironic coincidences. If my thoughts are largely familiar with someone else's, that doesn't mean I stole their content, it just means we think alike and don't even know it! I am pretty sure I am not the only person in the world with my thoughts. I am not responsible for information I am unaware of.

In this, his second collection, J.S. Campbell explores isolation, detachment, and the longing for meaning. The poems travel time and space, from modern and ancient wars in the Middle East, to the declining natural world, from struggles in the LGBTQ community, to the American west, and the systematic atrocities committed against Native Americans. These are stories of life, death, and an earth in crisis, but they also remain personal, human, and at times, autobiographical. Which is which? That may be an unanswerable question, but the journey is thought provoking along the way. Read more…
Praise for J.S. Campbell's Work

– Robin Alexander, Author & Professor of Literature

"His style is unique. He weaves thoughtful and entertaining life snippets using a style I'm not familiar with, but I find cleaver and refreshing."
– Amazon Reviews

URC Debuts ccGEN2 Automation System
URC this week announced the launch of a new product line, the ccGEN2 whole-house automation system, which is meant to build on the Total Control home automation system.
The line consists of 12 products: two remotes, two in-wall keypads, mobile apps and controllers.
"We're proud to say that we've had thousands of dealers selling URC to control A/V successfully for years," Doug Cole, senior vice president and general manager of URC, said as part of the announcement. "And we're excited to offer ccGEN2 through our distribution partners as a newfound opportunity to make the most of the growing awareness and marketing for home automation in a simplified, yet powerful way. We expect this next generation line to take the Complete Control brand into the whole house and the future."
Volutone will be the first distributor to receive the product line, in March, with a staggered rollout to come.

The Togiak National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 4.7 million acres in southwestern Alaska, from the west side of Bristol Bay, near Dillingham, west to Togiak and north to the Quinhagak and Platinum region. Each year, refuge staff organizes a high school science camp, conducted via float trip, to show area students a little sliver of the refuge in their backyard. Earlier this month, six students from Dillingham and Twin Hills floated the Pungokepuk River.
Bristol Bay is known for fish, and the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge is no exception.
During the high school float camp on the Pungo river, it was rainbows and resident fish, not reds, that lured anglers to keep casting.
"Good day, I should be tallying up what fish I catch."
That was Savanna Sage catching yet another a rainbow, while Refuge Manager Susanna Henry rowed our inflatable blue raft down stream. Prior to the trip, she had caught just one rainbow this summer, up at Lake Alegnagik.
A day into the trip, her tally was up to more than half a dozen, and climbing.
The Pungo stretches 16 miles from Pungokepuk Lake to the Togiak River. The sun was shining nearly the entire time we were on the water, and until the final day, a light breeze kept the bugs away.
And while 16 miles might sound like a short trip – there's enough fish in the Pungo to make every mile last. It took us four days, with plenty of stops for fishing.
Drew Wasilly caught his first rainbow on the trip. But he said it was his tentmate and fishing partner, Carleton Small of Twin Hills, who was the most prolific fisher.
"He's the rainbow slaying machine."
That doesn't include the smolt caught by the whole group.
Campers set out minnow traps before bed on the first night, baited with bacon. The next morning, refuge education specialist Terry Fuller helped intern Connor Ito and the campers ID the smolt they found waiting for them.
"I've got a little bit of white and black look."
"So this is a silver."
"There are silvers to be found."
Camp wasn't just about catching fish. Students put on a dry suit to snorkel with fish. And there were non-fishy activities, too – fire-building, berry-picking, a leave-no-trace activity, and hours on the river identifying plants and birds.
But Ito, a former camper herself, offered perhaps the most important lesson of all: how to roast Twinkies.
"Now you want to very slowly roast the Twinkie until it is crunchy and golden brown on the outside, more than it already is, and the filling is bubbling out of the holes on the bottom."
The verdict?
"It tastes more buttery," Sage said.
"He caught another rainbow."
And it's back to fishing on Pungo Lake.

Romania - International Film Guide Survey
For Romanian cinema, 2008 was not a year of the big surprises it has grown accustomed to. Let's consider it simply as a brief hiatus from the highs of Cristian Mungiu's Palme d'Or win for 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days. On the other hand, we should bear in mind what the Romanian Culture Minister said in a press conference: that the Romanian film industry is significantly healthier, with 13 – 15 new features produced every year.

What is IV Therapy?
IV Therapy is a treatment in which mixtures of vitamins and medications are administered directly into patients' veins. These treatments can provide an assortment of benefits, ranging from boosted immune system to muscle repair. Introducing these vitamins and medications directly to the bloodstream allows their effects to be felt more quickly and effectively than something like oral ingestion of vitamins. Patients also benefit from an increase in hydration level. Most importantly though, it helps cells function at a higher level, which then helps organs function at their proper level as well. This all results in overall improved health to help patients feel and perform better throughout their day.
Click HERE to view our IV Therapy Menu!
What benefits can IV Therapy provide?
- Re-hydration and restoration of electrolytes
- Vitamin depletion recovery
- Increased energy and vitality
- Arthritis relief
- Muscle recovery
- Boosted immune system
- Improved mood
- Skin and hair rejuvenation
Various preparations of IV vitamin infusion
In addition to the re-hydrating saline solution, proprietary preparations of vitamins, amino acids and other metabolites are also mixed into many IV fluids. These mixtures help patients gain restored vigor and energy, as well as provide a boost to many crucial bodily functions. Years ago, the original preparation was named the "Myers' Cocktail," which served primarily as an infusion of multivitamins. These days, more sophisticated infusions are used to treat all kinds of medical conditions, including things such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Infusions for things like collagen rejuvenation, jet lag, calorie burn, and even hangover are also available.
At South Valley OrthoMed, we have a dedicated room for patients to sit back and relax while an IV cocktail is administered. Patients can bring any books, magazines, tablets, or any other form of entertainment to pass the time. We hope for your end result to be walking out of our doors feeling like a more energetic and healthier version of yourself than when you walked in.

Rescuing Movies from Annihilation
Share this post
Creativity is about thinking ahead and looking forward — but it's also about acknowledging a history of work that existed before your own time. This is part of the reason we're celebrating projects whose focus is on the preservation and restoration of something otherwise lost, forgotten, or ignored. We collected a list of projects that fit the bill: restorations, preservations, and archives of all sorts right here.
In the world of film, this can mean anything from rescuing a lost work to completing a filmmaker's canon. It's part technical, part philosophical, and part curatorial — and it involves some informed decision-making as well. As Jake Perlin of Cinema Conservancy put it: "Restoration is the work that's done to bring a film back to the closest approximation of what the work looked like initially." We asked five project creators to talk about what it means to restore something, and why they were moved to do so with these particular projects.
Pioneers of African-American Cinema
"Some of the films we're working on have been out in other versions. We're trying to create the definitive version. We find the best existing material and give it the best possible treatment so it looks as good as it's going to look, short of having a 35mm print projected onto the screen. It's an art form — you can go way overboard and change the film. We try to maintain the integrity of the film so it looks close to how it should have looked, without looking enhanced."
- Bret Wood, producer
"If you think about the rise of American mass media, African American culture was the basis. These kinds of films were sidelined by the rise of Hollywood. To exist outside of that, you had to have your own narrative and your own circuit and your own distribution methods. They are profound examples of independent cinema altogether."
- Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky, executive producer
Bloody Friday
"It means a lot of things to restore a film. First and foremost, it means preserving something for the future. This movie was made in the early '70s, and there wasn't any thought in the market beyond next year: if it served next year's purpose, it served its purpose. But so much has happened since then — people want to learn about the past and see the movies and extract something from them. A lot of those movies are gone or will never be seen. When you think of how most German silent films are missing, gone, completely destroyed, lost in World War 2 — that's sad. To restore something is to preserve history. People like us step in to make sure that history is preserved.
This film has never been released in America uncut. It's possible it never had a proper theatrical run. There was an English dub, but that's all. But good movies deserve to be seen, and we could just tell that there was a North American audience waiting to discover this movie. It's too wild, it's too good to not be seen."
- Elijah Drenner, Subkultur
River of Grass
"Restoring a film means different things to different organizations, distributors, people, filmmakers, fans. There are a lot of film prints and digital mediums, but basically for us, it means this: we're going to restore River of Grass, and do a 2k scan so we can have a DCP of it. We'll also make it available to digital platforms, because that's incredibly important right now.
There's definitely a curatorial and philosophical element to it, but we want to stay true to what the filmmaker wants as much as possible. You do have to be careful, because film has a beautiful grain element to it, it has its own color timing and blacks and whites. You don't want to over-restore a film and make it too pristine."
- Debra McClutchy, Oscilloscope
Living Los Sures
"Restoration is a huge site of opportunity, and there's so much potential in the archive for new stories to come out and new ways to interact with those stories. This film from 1984 opened up a window into the history that's hard to find. It's been a way for creating connections between people in the community, and organizations that have been there for a long time, and also to understand the history of the people who lived in the Brooklyn neighborhood called Los Sures for well over 30 years. The microhistories of New York are often very difficult to find.
Union Docs is a center for documentary, so we show films all the time. In 2007 some filmmakers asked if we'd seen a film that was made in the neighborhood in 1984. It blew us away. We thought the film would have been preserved in some way, but the reality with so many of these projects is there's nobody out there who's tasked with taking care of these films. But because of our energy, the New York Public Library became interested in it. They had the only surviving print that was of any value, so we were really lucky to do the work when we did it. It would have been very easy for it to be totally lost."
- Christopher Allen, Union Docs
Jungle Trap
"Restoration means rescuing a movie from annihilation. Everything's going to fall into obscurity eventually, but for a movie to not even have a chance to make a mark is unfortunate. You have to be judicious, and try to restore and rescue the movies that have cultural weight or value, but the entire point of it is to make sure that anything that can improve somebody's life in some way has the opportunity to be seen. Even if that just means entertaining people on a gut level.
Jungle Trap is made by a guy named James Bryan, who is one of the pioneering exploitation filmmakers of the '70s. He was so motivated that he jumped into filmmaking with no money or experience. He did it with a drive and energy that's really contagious, so when you watch even his earliest and most poorly made films, you really feel it.
In the trunk of a used car that my friend had bought was a VHS tape for a movie called Run Coyote Run, which was considered lost. We watched it, and it was incredible. We contacted James Bryan, who turned out to live in Texas where I live, and said we'd like to release Run Coyote Run. He said he only ever made ten copies of that movie for the crew. Then we went to his house, and he said "Too bad no one's ever going to put out the movie I made after that." He'd shot an entire film, but the market had fallen apart.
So we realized that this guy who has this incredible story and is really deeply rooted in the history of drive-in cinema and exploitation had an additional feature that was never going to be seen. This isn't just a matter of finding a completed project and sharing it with the world — we're actually going to work with him to do the edit, to make a soundtrack, to make the movie as he wanted it to be in 1990. This will be his final project."

For the past few years, razor blade company's have been releasing more and more complicated razors with more and more blades. I suppose with inflation influencing everything else, perhaps it should be no surprise, but are five blades on a vibrating handle really necessary?
think we can answer that question fairly quickly - no. People got along
with 2 blades for years and had no problem at all. (People shaved with
straight razors and most still did okay, unless they had Sweeney Todd
for their barber.) But enough people have embraced the three-bladed
razor to make us wonder whether it really is an improvement over its
ancestors, and whether that means more will always be better.
couple of years ago when Gillette released its first five-blade razor,
it seemed incredibly absurd. The idea is that the five blade system
pulls hair out and away from the skin while it cuts it, which
apparently gives a closer, more comfortable shave. The current model
includes another blade for trimming, so although you aren't shaving
with all six at once, it still has six blades.
Dermatologists say
that any more than two blades will actually cause more razor burn and
more pain. More blades means more friction - more ways to irritate the
skin and more blades to nick it. However, are saying that they've
solved those problems by putting the blades closer together, making
them our of friction-reducing materials, and adding large guards to
protect the skin.
The paradox is that most of the people with the
most sensitive skin will actually have better luck with two or three
blades. People with thicker hair usually do find that the increased
number of blades can help their shave to last longer - a definite plus.
However, those who have easily irritated skin will probably want to be
careful before rushing out to by the latest in razor inflation - for
the most sensitive, less is probably more.

Residents of Shenzhen in China's Guangdong province were left shocked when the sea suddenly turned blood red overnight.
Residents of Shenzhen in China's Guangdong province feared the worst when the sea changed colour overnight, the Daily Express newspaper reports.
Some worried a shark had attacked a human whilst others nervously made links to the biblical text where the sea turns blood red marking the End of The World.
However, the sudden colour change was actually down to algae blooms, which change to a deep red or dark brown when they reproduce in large numbers.
Kang Ts'ai, a local environment officer said: "Although it is harmless, we have nevertheless slapped a ban on any swimming or watersports in the area until the algae is swept back out to sea."
