Sunday Suppers
Art of Food — Produced by Monica Rogozinski
Sunday Suppers, a community outreach program started by Sociologist and Chef Linda Samost, is changing the way families think about food. These suppers take currently place inside Memphis Street Academy in Kensignton, with plans to expand to other locations within the next couple of years. Sunday Suppers provides low-income families a free healthy meal and a chance to attend a sit down dinner in a restaurant atmosphere. Once a week, participants meet at the school's cafeteria for a program that includes nutrition and cooking lessons, and some group exercise prior to sitting down for a freshly prepared meal. At the end, each family gets a to-go bag with ingredients and directions to make healthy meals at home. As a result of coming to the Sunday Suppers "families are expanding and altering their food choices" as well as having more opportunities to socialize and volunteer. Join Friday Arts as we take a look into how Linda Samost runs Sunday Suppers each week, and the ways it's positively impacting problems affecting the community such as hunger, obesity, and diabetes.
Put A Ring On it
Art of Life — Produced by Karen Smyles
Philadelphia Bronze started as Mainline Ringers in 2008 as a result of a community of ringers looking for an advanced ensemble in which to participate and grew from a small group into a full ensemble. In 2013 they rebranded, doubled in size, and now are Philadelphia Bronze. The musicians are known as "ringers" and come from as far away as Bucks County and Lancaster County, and are auditioned at the beginning of every year. They primarily perform classical works, however , they have done gospel, jazz and even pop. The group was started by Director, Martha Alford, an accomplished flutist, and has a home-base at the Proclamation Presbyterian Church in Bryn Mawr, PA.
Looking to expand the reach and experience of the group, Alford reached out to Impulse, a youth handbell ensemble from Marlboro Township, New Jersey, for a collaborative performance this past February. The director of Impulse, Ryan Guth, was eager to participate and saw it as a great opportunity for his young musicians who have been receiving quite a bit of recognition from their web performances of contemporary works on handbells .
In June, Art of Life talks with the directors of both groups about their music, and their desire to bring the handbell into the forefront of the music world. We drop in on rehearsals and see how it all comes together as they prepared for their Valentine's Day performance.
We also visit the Malmark Handbell Company in Plumsteadville, PA to talk with Neil McDonald, Director of Sales, about the making of handbells and chimes. Malmark manufactures the world's largest range of handbell ringing instruments and everything is made right there on the premises.
Dance Everything You Can: The Accidental
Art — Produced by Michael O'Reilly
Trey McIntyre says the title of his latest dance, THE ACCIDENTAL, came from the fact that as he was choreographing at the Pennsylvania Ballet studios, he was making it up as he went along, looking for the unexpected, the things that would surprise him. Technically termed as "contemporary ballet" (all the turnouts and none of the tutus), McIntyre's choreography feels more like the collision of pirouettes and "parkour" – instead of using gravity and inertia to propel themselves down public stairs and city railings like street runners do in "parkour", the dancers play off each other, using the weight of their partner as if it is an obstacle to overcome, but with a grace that only a classical ballet dancer could bring to surmounting that obstacle. To call the accompanying music a score might be too formal a word for the handful of songs from the Patrick Watson album (Adventures In Your Own Backyard) that make up the soundtrack, but that does not mean their is not power in the music McIntyre has chosen. In this ART segment you will find a intimate and rigorous portrait of a dance – interviews with the dancers and choreographers and the heady rush of movement as the FRIDAY ARTS cameras take you from rehearsal to Academy of Music performance and back again, often in just the space of a heartbeat.

Hi Again,
I began To Live and Shave in L.A. in May 1990 with a group of demo recordings and tape manipulation experiments that established the template for what (by 1993) would become the signature sound of the project. Throughout 1991 and 1992, the laboratory hummed and experiments continued, eventually culminating in both unissued works (The Lineaments of Gratified Desire and My Limp Went Husserl on Me albums, and the Spatters of a Royal Sperm EP), and the official debut album, 30-minuten männercreme.
For your edification, a 4:19 chronological overview, beginning with the very first TLASILA demo, "Jad," recorded May 15, 1990, and ending with transfigured Miami AM radio static from February 1992. Local media ambiance was always of crucial import.
Get it here!
Best, as ever,
TLASILA Blog: A forum for all things related (and of interest) to the experimental collective To Live and Shave in L.A. Founded by Tom Smith in May 1990, TLASILA is antithesis, energized at the juncture of aesthetic revulsion. Genre is obsolete.

Proponent: VicRoads
VicRoads proposes to bypass the township of Beaufort with a new section of the Western Highway.
This section would link with completed sections of the Western Highway duplication to the east and west of Beaufort.
The project includes the selection of road alignment(s) and the associated identification of land to be reserved to enable the future construction of the bypass. This will also include interchanges to connect with the Beaufort township, several waterway crossings, an overpass of the Melbourne-Ararat rail line and intersection treatment of local roads.
EES requested
On 22 July 2015 the Minister for Planning determined that an Environment Effects Statements (EES) is required for the project due to the potential for significant effects.
The EES will need to provide a detailed examination of the environmental impacts of the proposed project.
Scoping Requirements
Draft Scoping Requirements for this Environmental Effects Statement (EES) were placed on public exhibition from 21 November to 9 December 2016.
After considering public submissions on the Draft Scoping Requirements, the Minister for Planning issued final Scoping Requirements for the EES on 4 January 2017.
Consultation Plan
VicRoads is currently finalising a communication and consultation plan for the EES, outlining the opportunities and approaches for their community engagement during the preparation of the EES.
The department has advised VicRoads on the refinement of the plan.

My most recent monograph was entitled Ways of Meeting and the Theology of Religions (Ashgate, 2013), where I attempted to articulate some different theological (and non-theological) spaces for the meeting of religions. Since completing this work, I have been researching more deeply into various aspects that stem from this work: including the theology of 'representation', the theologies of 'work' in comparison to the theology of religions, theology and the arts (with a special emphasis on music), and theologies of creation.

Welcome to
Manor Leas Junior Academy
Miss S Greenfield

Some children have needs or disabilities that affect their ability to learn. For example:
The Information Reportoutlines all services available to support disabled children and children with SEND and their families. This information will set out what is normally available in schools to help children with SEN as well as the options available to support families who need additional help to care for their child.
Download our Information Report
Child A left Manor Leas Junior Academy in July 2015, to start Year 7 in a secondary setting. He started at our school at the beginning of June 2012, towards the end of Year 3.
Child A was permanently excluded for disruptive behaviour from another mainstream primary setting early in 2012 and then attended a pupil referral unit until he was integrated in to our setting in the June of that year. Home life was very difficult for him.
He began on a part-time, phased timetable, which included attending our school at different times of the day. Rules were discussed and a structured behaviour plan and profile were put in to place. A positive reward system was also put in place to support him.
He was on free school meals and was on the SEN register at the old SA+ level.
Individual targets were set on an Individual Education Plan (now called Learning Passports) and were implemented, regularly monitored and reviewed by the SENCo and class teacher. Child A was able to become familiar with routines and expectations.
He was gradually able to stay over lunch times, with support in place on the playground and this then led to him starting full time at our school at the beginning of July, so that he had experience of that before the summer holidays.
Contact with Child A's mum was regular and on-going throughout this process.
Child A then attended our school on a full time basis throughout Years 4, 5 and 6. Support with a teaching assistant was given. He received small group work for reading, spelling and maths. He also had support with social skills and was helped to focus on lessons in the classroom. Regular review meetings were held with Child A's mum.
When Child A entered our school, he was working at the following levels :
When Child A left our school at the end of Year 6 in July 2015, he achieved these levels in the Key Stage 2 SAT tests:
Lincolnshire County Council Support and Aspirations
Lincolnshire ADHD Support Group
EMC Services Equality for Minority Communities

Anagramix - Summary
This project is not part of the GNU Project.
Anagramix is an SDL based word-puzzler for GNU/Linux, developed in C++. The goal is to form as many words as possible from a set of letters.
Registration Date: Wed 05 Nov 2003 02:31:02 PM UTC

Seemingly I forgot the Makefile in the first check-in. Also, the game loaded a resource it didn't need (and which wasn't included.)
These things should be fixed now, so it should be possible to build and play Anagramix ;)

So, the first revision (in CVS-eyes) has been checked in. We're off and running ;) If someone wants to help out, send me a mail. :)
The binary data is still lacking, but I'll put it up in a minute, just need to check a man-page for the "-kb" switch. :)

text: The newest season of Transparent is now available on Amazon Prime. I had the priviledge of shooting an episode of this season. What a tremendous cast and crew. Marta Cunningham directed the episode. I love getting to work with female directors! Check it out–it's a beautiful show, telling a beautiful story. (I'm in episode 5)

"Any way that you can be connecting with like-minded people [you should]. And that's the great thing about doTERRA because they're like minded people who're on this really positive uplifting healthy, inspiration 'living their best life' trajectory. They're the type of people that I'd be wanting to surround myself with anyway. And I don't know where I could find such a big pocket of people who're like that outside of something like this.
And the way that everyone lift each other up and support each other and works together… I've made some of the best friendships through this process and I don't know in what other circumstance I would have met them."
I sat down with Jessica Etcell from Becoming Birth, as Part III of a 3 part series with single Mamma's who've built and are building and expanding in life and their doTERRA businesses without a partner by their sides. Jess had a 3 month old and a 19 month old when she started her business with doTERRA. She had to move in with her mum, she had no money, she was isolated and she had post-natal depression.
An analyser and a thinker, Jess shares how her love for doTERRA and her anchor to the opportunity wasn't a flash straight away, and rather grew over time.
This episode melted me and shows the strength of women when awakened, the ability to get done what needs to be done in the pockets of your life and how a business model can give the connection that's so needed.

Jess is a mama to 2 beautiful little girls. She's a student midwife at USC on the Sunshine Coast, and she loves photographing bellies, births and babies.
We chatted:
- Why building connections and stories with the oils themselves is so powerful
- Hoe she hosted classes and made it work with two infants under her wing.
- How she resisted the opportunity itself

The route of the 2014 Tour de France, which begins in Britain, includes five mountain finishes and just one individual time-trial, organisers announced this morning.
The 101st Tour starts in Leeds on July 5, features two stages in Yorkshire and a Cambridge to London third stage before transferring across the Channel.
There was good and bad news for Chris Froome, the defending champion, as the Tour returns to the site of his first stage victory, La Planche des Belles Filles, but first negotiates nine sections of cobbles on stage five in northern France
Details of the opening three stages in the UK were already known prior to confirmation of the remaining 18 days of racing.
Froome's fears of the "unknown" factor of the cobbles could haunt him ahead of the fifth stage, which marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War.
The 156-kilometre route from Ypres, in Belgium, to Arenberg Porte de Hainaut, in France, will provide a stern early test for the overall contenders on the cobbles which are included in the fabled Paris-Roubaix one-day race.
The 2010 Tour included a spectacular stage which finished in Arenberg and was described as "carnage" by much of the peloton.
The riders will then travel through Champagne country, with a sixth stage to Reims as the race skirts the eastern fringes of France before a 10th stage from Mulhouse to La Planche des Belles Filles.
Froome won on the steep ascent on the second Saturday of the 2012 Tour as Bradley Wiggins took the yellow jersey which he would not relinquish.
Again it is expected the overall contenders will emerge on the climb in 2014. Vincenzo Nibali, Alberto Contador and Nairo Quintana, the 2013 runner-up, are all anticipated to rival Froome's bid for victory.
The first rest day in Besancon is followed by the Alpine stages, but it is in the Pyrenees, following the second rest day in Carcassonne, where the overall contenders will do further battle, with finishes at Bagneres-de-Luchon, Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet and Hautacam.
The overall winner will be determined by the penultimate day's 54km time-trial between Bergerac and Perigueux – the only race against the clock in the race - before the transfer to Paris.
The race finishes in the French capital on July 27.
Mark Cavendish had won four times in succession on the Champs-Elysees prior to 2013.
Cavendish could enjoy a strong start in Yorkshire.
The opening stage to Harrogate is expected to end in a sprint, giving the Manxman, 25 times a Tour stage winner, the chance to take the race leader's maillot jaune in his mother's home town.
The second, hilly stage is from York to Sheffield and could shake up the general classification standings, before another stage which is expected to end in a sprint, the third stage from Cambridge to The Mall in central London.
The Yorkshire start will be the fourth time the race has visited the UK and first since 2007, when a Westminster prologue was followed by a stage through Kent. Previous visits were in 1974 and 1994.

Mayor's Office
Improvements are scheduled to begin Monday September 12 on Normal Boulevard from South to S. 56th streets. The work will require lane closures that restrict traffic to single eastbound and westbound lanes. Full closure during off-peak traffic times may also occur. Drivers and businesses will be notified in advance of any closures through signage. Access will be maintained to businesses at all times.
The project will include repairing or replacing deteriorated concrete panels, joints and curbs; sealing cracks; replacing damaged storm drainage inlet tops; replacing pedestrian curb ramps; utility adjustments; and restoration of traffic signal elements impacted by the work.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of November.
The Public Works and Utilities Department appreciates the public's patience during this project. For more information, visit lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: normal) or contact Erin Sokolik at email@example.com or 402-416-9460.

RG3 gets going at Redskins training camp, says it's good to have coaches 'who believe in you'
RICHMOND, Va. – Robert Griffin III says it's a good thing to have coaches "who believe in you."
Griffin and the Washington Redskins opened training camp Thursday, and the contrast was stark from a year ago — when Griffin was recovering from knee surgery and was enduring a contentious relationship with coach Mike Shanahan.
Shanahan has been replaced by Jay Gruden, and Griffin looks and sounds like a different person.
Veteran cornerback DeAngelo Hall says, "The stress is kind of off him. Worrying about reps, worrying about a head coach that you don't really know about if he likes you, if he doesn't like you, things like that."
Griffin had a rough first practice. Bad throws and dropped passes ruled the morning in a session that began late because of steady rain.

While many of its fans were either making final preparations for the pending arrival of category 5 storm Hurricane Irma or asleep, Miami Central was flexing its "South Florida muscle" in Las Vegas.
Senior running back James Cook had touchdowns runs of 83 yards and 87 yards – the latter serving as the fourth quarter game-sealer to power the Rockets to a 24-20 win over host Las Vegas Bishop Gorman Friday night in a nationally-televised game at Frittata Stadium.
With his team clinging to a 17-14 lead late in the fourth quarter and operating deep in its own territory – after a big interception by defensive back Chris Metayer – Cook took a handoff and ran through the right side of his offensive line and dashed past Gorman defenders for a score.
The Gaels tacked on an inconsequential touchdown with 0:09 left – an 18-yard touchdown catch by University of Miami 2018 commit and No. 1 tight end prospect Brevin Jordan – but missed the extra point, leaving the margin at 24-20.
Bishop Gorman recovered the ensuing onside kick, but its desperation heave to the end zone drifted out of bounds and cemented the Rockets' win.
Cook, the younger brother of Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, finished with a game-high 199 yards on 13 carries. Freshman running back Amari Daniels added a 78-yard touchdown scamper during the second quarter, which put the Rockets ahead 14-7.
After the game, "Jimmy" Cook told ESPN announcers that the experience of playing in Vegas meant a lot to the team.
"It was a great experience for us to get on the road and get a big win for our city," Cook told announcers post game.
Central was the only South Florida (Miami-Dade or Broward County) team that played a football game in week three, as school board officials erred on the side of caution and closed schools Thursday through next Monday and canceled all extracurricular and athletic activities over the same span.
The Rockets left Miami for Las Vegas early Wednesday and plan on staying out west through Monday – thanks to financial help from Bishop Gorman as ESPN announcers reported during the broadcast – since the hurricane is forecasted to be making its way up the state of Florida Sunday through Monday.
Beyond that, Cook – who's typically terse with his words – gave the credit for his big performance to his offensive line.
"I appreciate my [offensive line], I love them," Cook added.
Central (3-0), which entered Friday's game ranked No. 16 in USA Today National High School Football poll, handed the Gaels their second straight loss – a huge snide considering Bishop Gorman (2-2) had won 55 straight games before losing to the Rockets and California Mater Dei High in back to back weeks.
The win will greatly help the Rockets' standing in the national high school football scope – already notching wins over South Florida powers Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna and Miami Booker T. Washington – and looking forward to a Sept. 22 showdown with Bradenton IMG Academy, which is ranked No. 2 in the country.
The Rockets led by as much as 17-7 midway through the third quarter – after a 36-yard Angel Lopez field goal – but Bishop Gorman chipped away at the deficit when Gaels quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson connected with Jalen "Speedy" Nailor four minutes left in the third quarter to bring Gorman to within three points.
Central's defense would bend but didn't break Friday.
Though Thompson-Robinson, a UCLA verbal commit, connected on 16-of-25 passes for just under 250 yards and a pair of touchdown passes – he found it difficult to find running room against the Rockets defensive front and absorbed big hits throughout the night.
Central junior defensive end knocked Thompson-Robinson out of the game during the fourth quarter – seemingly injuring his non-throwing shoulder.
After the Rockets missed the playoffs this past season, snapping their run of six straight trips to the Class 6A state title game, a lot of people were calling for "the end" of Central's dynasty – but this season's 3-0 start has quieted critics.
"I'm feeling really awesome. The kids and the coaching staff did a great job tonight," Miami Central head coach Roland Smith said after the game.
"I'm so proud of Central Nation…we did a tremendous job of representing South Florida and the whole state of Florida. Our hearts and our prayers go out to everyone back home."

Dillon Gage Metals Sees Palladium Taking Aim at Surpassing $3,000 Per Ounce
Palladium reaches all-time record of $2,911.70 per ounce, today
ADDISON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2020 / Today, palladium reached its all-time record high of $2,911.70 per ounce. Dillon Gage, the world leader in physical precious metals, explains why palladium is worth a lot more than its weight in gold.
The sky seems to be the limit for palladium, which is now one of the most valuable precious metals — far surpassing the prices of gold, silver and platinum.
"Palladium is likely to cross the $3,000 an ounce threshold any day now," said Terry Hanlon, president of Dillon Gage.
The metal's latest record, achieved today, is $2,911.70 per ounce. That means that an ounce of palladium is now more than $1,000 more expensive than an ounce of gold on international markets.
Palladium is up almost 49% — or more than $963 — since the start of 2020, and that's after rallying 54% in 2019. As long as a year ago — when palladium was almost $1,600 cheaper than it is now — The Wall Street Journal reported that thieves were stealing the metal right out of car engines.
So, what is palladium and why is it heading for the stratosphere?
It's all about the quest to save the planet.
The silvery-white metal, palladium, is a key component in catalytic converters – devices that control the pollution expelled from gasoline-fueled cars and trucks because it resists corrosion. About 85% of the world's palladium ends up in the exhaust systems of vehicles, and demand for cars, particularly from new drivers in places like China, is booming.
Palladium is also used in jewelry and some dental fillings and crowns, electronics, technological processes, photography and as an investment.
Supplies are tight, too. Most of the metal is mined in Russia and South Africa and it's actually a byproduct of mines that extract other metals, including platinum and nickel. So miners can't easily decide to just start producing more palladium.
While a Russian company — MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC — is the world's largest palladium producer, it's the South African miners that have helped keep prices volatile in recent months. In December, for example, mining companies had to halt operations for days because of power outages after the local utility, Eskom, imposed rolling blackouts to keep up with demand. Labor disputes also crop up and can limit production, helping to drive up prices.
With demand for new, cleaner-burning cars exploding and supplies so precarious, palladium is well positioned to extend its historic rally.

Synopsis for "Underworld Part 1"
Jackie Dio was a big-time mobster who is just finishing the last of few days of a 10-year sentence in the Cage, a maximum security prison mostly filled with non-super powered criminals. During his final days, he ends up in a fight with two skinheads, which leads to the skinheads being crippled and Dio confined to solitary. There he's cellmates with a former costumed villain known as the Hippo. The Hippo suggests that Dio looks for a man named the Consultant once he gets outside. The Consultant is a man who has been providing crooks with the technology required to become super-criminals in order to stay competitive in the organized crime industry. Dio, having a distinct hate for costumed criminals, Dio rejects this advice.
Upon release, Dio realizes that a lot has changed in the 10 years he's spent in prison: DVD's, women's clothing, the cost of food at a baseball game. Dio decides to go and visit his former employer: Silvermane, who to Jackie's surprise is a cyborg plugged into life support. Silvermane tells Dio that the world has become a world of costumed criminals in the underworld, much or like "Vinces" world. Dio recalls telling him to leave town after an altercation prior to going to jail.
When Dio asks if Vince has been seen around again, Silvermane tells him that he's been out the loop. He also tells Dio that if he's looking for employment, the Owl is the high ranking crime boss at the time. Going to see Owl, the Owl upon learning that Dio doesn't have any enhancements, the Owl calls his number one agent Mr. Pain, to find a place for the Owl. To Dio's shock and surprise, Mr. Pain turns out to be Vince.

Jutland's Giant Station Town
Langå Station was built on the first stretch of railway in Jutland, which was opened in 1862. The very next year, the stretch from Langå to Viborg opened and Langå quickly became a traffic hub. Langå is one of very few true" station towns in Denmark, and the…
Hold-ups in Langå
The book Jydske Byer og deres Mænd (Jutland Towns and their Men) from 1917 describes Langå's function as a railway hub: Langaa Town is a famous name and place for everyone who travels even just a little with Jutland state railways. It is passed by thousands of passengers every day and most people in Denmark have probably passed it at one or another time, which is why it is quite rightly called the hub of the Jutland state railways. Even so, probably only a tiny number of these travellers have seen anything of the town of Langaa itself." That was the situation in 1917, and to be honest, what Dane hasn't stopped off at Langå Station? "

Claudia Jordan Net Worth
Claudia Jordan net worth: Claudia Jordan is an American television and radio personality who has a net worth of $500 thousand. Claudia Jordan earned her net worth by making appearances in music videos, TV shows and commercials. She may be best known for being the model on The Price is Right and Deal or No Deal, but this Rhode Island beauty is no stranger to television. She was featured in a few music videos, including Joe's "I Wanna Know" and Fabulous' "Throw It In the Bag," and also appeared in TV commercials for Coors Light, Pepsi and Visa. She was a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice back in 2009 and more recently works as a presenter and host of her own weekly show, The Claudia Jordan Show (on Sirius/XM Radio) and also co-hosts VH1's Tiny's Tonight, alongside Tamar Braxton and Trina. In addition to her work in the entertainment industry, she has also worked for the Providence newspaper and Boston TV station, WHDH-TV.

Seven years later, Jordan won the Miss Rhode Island USA title, making her the second African-American contestant to have held the title. Jordan is rumored to be replacing Kenya Moore on the next season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Critical Pointers About Finding The Best Lawyers
A good lawyer is absolutely necessary if you need some help with a legal problem. You might need a lawyer for a reason soon. You'll need a lawyer who can get the job done, so make a good choice. Here are some tips for selecting and working with your lawyer.
Don't just choose the first lawyer you come across. Instead, research several attorneys to find the one best suited for your case. Getting referrals from friends and family members can really point you in the direction of a great lawyer.
You should always consider also keeping a lawyer in the wings. By having a lawyer on retainer, you will not have to spend time finding an attorney should an issue arise. This also means you will have someone to turn to when you need it.
Take some time to think about exactly what your trouble is before looking for a lawyer. First you must think about if you're really in need of a lawyer. Lawyers are not only there to represent you in court, they also can give you advice about legal matters such as contracts. Even if such areas are not affecting you directly, you might find other reasons to take advantage of a lawyer's knowledge.
If you are involved in a legal matter concerning real estate, whether you rent or own, you should hire a lawyer who specializes in real estate. A real estate lawyer is familiar with the current laws pertaining to real estate.
Listen to your lawyer's advice and remember they work for you. You can speak up about a situation if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Your lawyer will always have your best interests in mind, but you are one of many cases that they have.
Before signing contracts, be sure the lawyer has won some cases that are similar to yours. The fact that an attorney specializes in handling cases like the one you have does not guarantee he will win yours. When not available online, ask directly.
Your lawyer you hire should be one you trust. This is especially true if you are finding a lawyer for your business or professional matters. Blank checks and retainer fees are not unusual in this case. If you go along with this, your lawyer has great control over the fate of your finances. Protect yourself as much as you can.
Be sure to quiz each lawyer thoroughly. During your first meeting, the attorney should answer any question you may have, whether the question is big or small. It's their duty to ensure you are satisfied with their knowledge level and experience. If they don't, move on to the next consultation.
Speak with the bar association to get the scoop on the lawyer that you choose. While a few complaints might be rationalized away, a lot of complaints would suggest a lawyer to avoid.
There is a need for lawyers in society, and they have been there. They have a valuable service that is needed in many aspects of life. Take the time to compare all your options before you choose which lawyer you want to hire for your case.…Continue Reading

Every mom knows what it's like to have a rough day. Here are 5 easy tips for reconnecting with your kiddies!
by Ashleigh Lorenz | staff writer for The Snap Mom
1. Take some time for you
I know that it sounds counterintuitive to spend time alone when you are trying to connect with your children. However, if you are carrying baggage from a day of stress, it will make it all the more difficult to shift your focus to enjoying your time with them. When you walk in the door from a crazy day, do yourself a favor and take five minutes and do something for you. Check your email, pray, read a magazine article, go for a quick walk around the block – whatever will help you decompress, unwind, and shift into loving mommy mode. (This article is being written during nap time… while eating chocolate chips out of a jar of peanut butter and drinking a glass of wine. Yup, that's my "me time" for today – don't judge me.)
2. Be willing to apologize
Let's face it, some times our moments as mom become REALLY overwhelming, and we don't handle them exactly as we would have hoped. More than once, my newborn's crying mixed with the screams of my two toddlers' fighting has proven more than this mommy could handle. Especially before my cup of coffee, I have…gasp…lost my cool and, regretfully, yelled at my kiddos. In the past, I would spend the day hating myself for this and feeling like the worst mother in the world. I have since learned the power of this teachable moment. If I ever interact with my children in a way that I regret, I immediately sit them down and apologize. How important is it for our children to learn the power of humbly acknowledging a mistake and the grace of forgiveness? This is a huge opportunity for connection.
3. Disconnect Yourself
A study released by E-marketer states that Americans spend over 5 hours a day engaged in digital media. That is insane, but not surprising. Nothing says I love you like checking your iPhone every two minutes…said no one EVER! Let's be intentional with our children and put down our electronic devices and give them our undivided attention. We are our children's first teacher and believe me, they are WATCHING! One of my intentions for this year has been to completely disconnect from media when I am engaged with my children. I want them to learn the value of looking someone in the eye and completely engaging in a moment of life that can never be recaptured.
4. Stop trying to do it all
Moms are seriously superheros and capable of doing 10 billion things at one time. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. I find that the times when I am most exasperated with my children is when I am attempting to do too many things at one time. If I say I am going to play trains, then I need to play trains – not write a grocery list in my head, scan Pinterest for birthday party décor ideas, fold laundry AND play trains. Put it all down and intentionally engage with your child. Try to see the world through their eyes. Give into the fun of a tickle fight. Get excited about building a fort in the living room. The days are long, but the years are short. Before you know it you will be watching your baby put on his cap and gown and wishing with all your might that you could indulge one more request to build a tower up to the sky.
5. Use daily tasks as moments of connection
Sometimes we don't have the luxury of turning it all off and sitting down with our kiddos to play. Dinner needs to be made, baths taken, and bedtime stories read. If one of my children is experiencing a need to connect at one of these critical moments, I have learned to connect by engaging them in my "must do" task. Of course, it would be much easier and faster to cook dinner without the help of my 1 and 4-year-old, but to see the smile on their proud faces when mama engages with them makes it worth it. Accept their help in making dinner; it's worth the extra 10 minutes cleaning up the spilled rice.

A History of Black Hair From the 1400s to Present
1444: Europeans trade on the west coast of Africa with people wearing elaborate hairstyles, including locks, plaits and twists.
1619: First slaves brought to Jamestown; African language, culture and grooming tradition begin to disappear.
1700s: Calling black hair "wool," many whites dehumanize slaves. The more elaborate African hairstyles cannot be retained.
1800s: Without the combs and herbal treatments used in Africa, slaves rely on bacon grease, butter and kerosene as hair conditioners and cleaners. Lighter-skinned, straight-haired slaves command higher prices at auction than darker, more kinky-haired ones. Internalizing color consciousness, blacks promote the idea that blacks with dark skin and kinky hair are less attractive and worth less.
1865: Slavery ends, but whites look upon black women who style their hair like white women as well-adjusted. "Good" hair becomes a prerequisite for entering certain schools, churches, social groups and business networks.
1880: Metal hot combs, invented in 1845 by the French, are readily available in the United States. The comb is heated and used to press and temporarily straighten kinky hair.
1900s: Madame C.J. Walker develops a range of hair-care products for black hair. She popularizes the press-and-curl style. Some criticize her for encouraging black women to look white.
1910: Walker is featured in the Guinness Book of Records as the first American female self-made millionaire.
1920s: Marcus Garvey, a black nationalist, urges followers to embrace their natural hair and reclaim an African aesthetic.
1954: George E. Johnson launches the Johnson Products Empire with Ultra Wave Hair Culture, a "permanent" hair straightener for men that can be applied at home. A women's chemical straightener follows.
Our Hair has a History
Hair's value was increased even more in the spiritual realm. The Yoruba people were required to keep their hair braided in certain styles as a part of their religion. The head is the most northern part of the body and viewed as the part of the body that is closest to the heavens and therefore communication from the God's and spirits would pass through the hair. – Yoruba say.

I know, the Jews killed Jesus (head bow here), but many messiah-type/hippie nonconformists of their day were likewise executed.
It strikes me that every time this society begins to gain a foothold on the notoriety that Sodom and other unspellable biblical city enjoyed, some bloke with a holier-than-thou attitude and a propensity to milk money from religious right-wingers who heretofore were busy molesting altar boys, raises his ugly head and spoils everything.
Shame on you, Mel! We liked you better with panties in your mouth. May you spend extra centuries in Purgatory, since you acknowledge it to be the Catholic-sanctioned holding tank before heaven. It might even have a DVD player, and you can plug in your personal copy of The Passion of the Christ and be able to play it over and over until you're forced to blurt out what the thinking public now says: "This is merely violence for violence's sake, an insult to Christians and a veritable slap in the face to Jews!"

I sensed a bit of jealousy coming from Tuttle when reading her article, which was designed to trash Gibson by twisting his intentions and movie into something it was not intended to be. I found it quite perverse for the mind (and spirit) of Connie Tuttle to refer to the movie's portrayal of the crucifixion of Jesus as "pornography." (What's going on for her?)
I am in no position to judge Mel Gibson, poor Connie Tuttle or even other Christians (as Tuttle does in her article), but whatever Gibson's intent, God managed to use his work for good. I know at least one person (and I am sure there are others) who, after seeing the movie, decided to re-dedicate his life to the Lord and let go of destructive habits. What better way to reach people "living on the edge" than through a blockbuster movie? Way to go, Mel!
Amy Bass
Perhaps no one in your office bothered to read it before accepting it? Her article begins with the question, "What's next for Mel Gibson?" But the column is no real evaluation of his future plans or opportunities. It is snide, hateful, derogatory and deriding. It is clear she is handing down her own personal punishment to him, calling him "Gory Gibson" and "Mad Mel," for daring to make this movie. Some thoughtful consideration and not a whole lot of research on her part would have revealed that The Passion is probably the most accurate depiction of the beating that was inflicted on Jesus and the weapons that were used. But the film went far beyond that.
The intent of this letter is not to defend the movie or Mr. Gibson. My problem with Ms. Tuttle's article is that she goes far beyond any true evaluation of the movie and its maker. Her mindset is ever so clear and so her entire evaluation is totally not credible. She quickly moves from her attempt to discredit Gibson with childish name-calling and to derisive and condescending remarks about Christians. Those weapons, Mr. Editor, are common tools of hatred.
Mr. Editor, you are in charge of a publication that reaches and has the power to influence thousands of people. That means you have more responsibility than most, just as TV and radio personalities and elected officials do. Ms. Tuttle is certainly free to express her opinions, as I am. Printing opinions is one thing. Printing hatred is another.

This story is not about me as much as it is the emergency room and the shortage of medical staff at our hospitals. In this case, it was the Tucson Medical Center. About two years ago, I had to go to the TMC emergency room and noticed nothing unusual. The care was efficient, nurses and doctors showed concern for their patients.
I had read in the newspaper about the shortage of medical personnel in Tucson but paid little attention. Little did I realize I'd be another victim in the future.
After we arrived at the E.R. entrance, someone came out with a wheelchair, helped me out of the car and pushed me inside the building. It was about two hours before I was seen by triage and six hours before I was taken in for care. I remember the doctor looked at my head, cut off some hair and sent me for a CAT scan. I really don't know how long I lay there in a makeshift room, where the cots were tiny and narrow with three patients shoved together in a room that might comfortably accommodate two.
I began to notice the staff was rushing about like maniacal idiots. How could anyone blame them? They did the best they could with insufficient help.
What can be done about this crisis in our hospitals? The TMC staff told me this situation exists at every hospital in Tucson. Will people have to die in emergency rooms in order to motivate medical and legal professions to find solutions to these grave problems?

People, people wake up. We are not conserving water. We are redirecting its use. I give up a lawn, so our concerned leaders can approve more developments that use the water I "conserved" and then some. So I sit without a lawn while some developer gets even richer (hey, Mr. Diamond) while causing even more water to be used. Let's use some logic here and stop calling us commoners greedy.
I'm tired of this divide-and-conquer P.R. directed by the powers that be. The rich get richer. The politicians that allow it get richer and more powerful. And I sit on my patch of grass playing with my kids and get called greedy.

Both columns would have benefited from editing. Downing's column states that the incident occurred on March 27, but the Weekly came out on March 25. Danehy's column ends with a put-down: "Hey dude: As a documentarian, you're OK; as a guy, you suck." A more sensible last line would have been something like "You're a good filmmaker but a lousy scientist." That would have let Danehy summarize his main point (the experiment was "ridiculous") without sounding like a nasty whiner.
Bottom line: TW needs more pithy titles and less pissy columns.

Words Of Memory
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a few well chosen words can still speak volumes. When ordering a pendant, pictures truly personalise, but also consider how text could enhance the piece. Etched in Memories can engrave words for you, as well as render your quality images onto our pendants.
Perhaps you'd like to craft a special message for a special person in your life. Maybe a line of poetry will suit the occasion. An inspirational quote that will mean a lot to the recipient might be just the thing to create a well-thought-out present. The difference between a very pretty gift and a truly outstanding one might be including the names of beloved family members, or dates of significance, such as anniversaries. There are many possibilities to ponder, and finding just the right words will bring the pendant even closer to the heart of the wearer.
There are a few guidelines to keep in mind as you let your creative mind wander. There is a flat fee of $5 for text, which covers unlimited words, but different sizes and shapes make the pendants suitable for different lengths of messages. Generally, the more words, the smaller (and harder to read) the text will be. We have found that up to 10 words fit well on most pendant shapes. If you are thinking of a longer message, the ID Tag might be the best fit.
Please feel free to consult with us about including text on your pendant order. We can make individual recommendations that will assist you in designing the quality piece your loved one deserves, while including a message that is one of a kind.
Memories, Photos And Dreams
Captured memories
stare back at me
from the pictures in this book
happy smiles
set against blue skies
vacations taken when we were young
the dreams of childhood
forgotten for awhile
then remembered with a rueful smile
I wanted to be an astronaut
a dancer
a fireman
an actress of the first order
my name in lights
my feet on the stage
easy life
but, those were just childish dreams
never worked for
never realized
but tucked away
here in my book of
and dreams
by Carra Wilmoth
© Louise Bailey
I feel a warmth around me
like your presence is so near,
And I close my eyes to visualize
your face when you were here,
I endure the times we spent together
and they are locked inside my heart,
For as long as I have those memories
we will never be apart,
Even though we cannot speak no more
my voice is always there,
Because every night before I sleep
I have you in my prayer.

Father by Edgar A. Guest (1909)
I remember when, as a child, we used to tell each other stories about our fathers and their quirky habits. We'd laugh at what other children's fathers would do or say, thinking them very strange indeed. My father didn't do that and surely my father knew what fathers should be like. Why weren't the other dads like him?
Now that I am an adult and I look back to those days and replay the conversations in my mind I laugh to myself at our innocence.
I found this poem about a particular father and it made me laugh as it brought back memories of those conversations of long ago. There is an element of truth in it for many fathers, I think.
My father knows the proper way
The nation should be run;
He tells us children every day
Just what should now be done.
He knows the way to fix the trusts,
He has a simple plan;
But if the furnace needs repairs,
We have to hire a man.
My father, in a day or two
Could land big thieves in jail;
There's nothing that he cannot do,
He knows no word like "fail."
"Our confidence" he would restore,
Of that there is no doubt;
But if there is a chair to mend,
We have to send it out.
All public questions that arise,
He settles on the spot;
He waits not till the tumult dies,
But grabs it while it's hot.
In matters of finance he can
Tell Congress what to do;
But, O, he finds it hard to meet
His bills as they fall due.
It almost makes him sick to read
The things law-makers say;
Why, father's just the man they need,
He never goes astray.
All wars he'd very quickly end,
As fast as I can write it;
But when a neighbor starts a fuss,
'Tis mother has to fight it.
In conversation father can
Do many wondrous things;
He's built upon a wiser plan
Than presidents or kings.
He knows the ins and outs of each
And every deep transaction;
We look to him for theories,
But look to ma for action.
Remember Me
All that you would wish to be,
Show the landscapes of your heart,
Map the journey love may start.
Hard against the shifting sand,
Lie the signposts of that land,
In which the contours of the dream,
Make nightly visions holy seem;
Dream that once upon your knee
You entertain a lion to tea.
Quantum physics says to us
We shall dissolve in atomic fuss;
Remember me when all is still?
Of course I will, of course I will.
Remember that a little love
goes a long way.
Remember that a lot… goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life's treasures are people… together.
Realize that it's never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take the time to wish upon a star.
And don't ever forget… for even a day…
How very special you are.

Quranic Terminology: Door(s)
Published in November 10, 2019
Translated by: Ahmed Fathy
The term door(s) is employed in the literal and figurative senses in the Arabic tongue; in the Quranic text, the metaphorical or figurative usage is found very little; in most Quranic verses, the literal meaning is intended. Let us provide details of this topic in the points below.
Firstly: door(s) in the figurative/metaphorical sense in the Quranic text in relation to this transient world:
1- This is about the Lord God's mercy and torment in this transient world.
1/1: This torment was inflicted on Qorayish: "Until, when We have opened before them a door of intense torment, at once they will despair." (23:77).
1/2: This is about ancient nations smitten/destroyed by the Lord God: "Then, when they disregarded what they were reminded of, We opened for them the doors of all things. Until, when they delighted in what they were given, We seized them suddenly; and at once, they were in despair." (6:44).
2- This is about the impossibility of allowing the disbelievers to enter into Paradise; they will be deprived of the Lord God's mercy: "Those who reject Our Verses and are too arrogant to uphold them - the doors of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise, until the camel passes through the eye of the needle. Thus We repay the criminals." (7:40).
3- This is about the Hour and its explosion when the entire universe, including the sky, will be destroyed: "And the sky is opened up and becomes doors." (78:19). This means the sky will be broken into pieces; this is expressed figuratively using the term (doors).
4- This is about the torrential rain within the deluge/flood of Noah: "So We opened the doors of heaven with water pouring down." (54:11).
5- The (door) of heaven is employed figuratively here to indicate passing through it; the Arab disbelievers demanded a miracle from Muhammad; namely, he would ascend into heaven and they would be able to ascend into heaven as well; this never happened; even if this would have been allowed by the Lord God, they would never have believed in the Quran anyway: "Even if We opened for them a door into the heaven, and they began to ascend through it. They would still say, "Our eyes are hallucinating; in fact, we are people bewitched."" (15:14-15).
Secondly: door(s) in the literal sense in the Quranic text in relation to this transient world:
The literal doors (or gates) of cities/towns or at the borders of any State are mentioned here within the context of the Quranic story of the Israelites:
1- "And recall that We said, "Enter this town, and eat plentifully from it whatever you wish; but enter through the door humbly, and say, 'Pardon.' We will forgive your sins, and give increase to the charitable ones."" (2:58).
2- "And it was said to them, "Settle this town, and eat therein whatever you wish, and speak modestly, and enter through the door in humility - We will forgive your sins, and will give increase to the charitable ones."" (7:161).
3- "And We raised the Mount above them in accordance with their covenant, and We said to them, "Enter through the door humbly", and We said to them, "Do not violate the Sabbath"..." (4:154).
4- The doors or gates at the borders of the Egyptian State are mentioned in the story of Jacob as he talked to his sons before their journey to Egypt: "And he said, "O my sons, do not enter by one door, but enter by different doors. I cannot avail you anything against God. The decision rests only with God. On Him I rely, and on Him let the reliant rely."" (12:67). This means Jacob knew that security was very tight at the Egyptian eastern borders in Sinai and he told his son to enter from several doors/gates so as not to arouse any suspicions. Within the story of Moses, the Israelites were commanded by the Lord to enter into the Holy Land; they refrained, out of fear of tyrants who lived there, to enter through the doors/gates of the borders of the Promised Land; two pious, courageous men among the Israelites interposed with their piece of advice: "Two men of those who feared the Lord, but whom God had blessed, said, "Go at them by the door; and when you have passed through it, you will prevail. And put your trust in God, if you are believers."" (5:23).
The outside door or gate of a house:
1- The Meccan polytheists of Qorayish were haughty and invented a bad custom during pilgrimage to distinguish themselves, as pilgrims, from the rest of Arabs; namely, to enter into their houses from the backdoors instead of the main doors/gates; they assume that their doing so were part of pilgrimage rituals. The Lord God refutes them here: "...It is not virtuous that you approach homes from their backdoors, but virtue is to be pious. So approach homes from their doors, and observe God, that you may succeed." (2:189).
2- In ancient Egypt during the era of Joseph, palaces had many doors/gates which were opened from the inside and the outside as well; this is inferred from the story of Joseph, the Potiphar of Egypt, and the Potiphar' wife: "She in whose house he was living tried to seduce him. She shut the doors, and said, "I am yours." He said, "God forbid! He is my Lord. He has given me a good home. Sinners never succeed."" (12:23); "As they raced towards the door, she tore his shirt from behind. At the door, they ran into her husband..." (12:25).
Thirdly: door(s) in the literal sense in the Quranic text in relation to the Hereafter (Hell and Paradise):
The doors or gates of Paradise:
1- The number of the doors of Paradise is not mentioned in the Quran; yet, angels will receive the Paradise-dwellers as they enter through these doors for the first and last time as they will never be driven out of Paradise: "And those who feared their Lord within piety will be led to Paradise in throngs. Until, when they have reached it, and its doors are opened, its keepers will say to them, "Peace be upon you, you have been good, so enter it, to abide therein eternally."" (39:73).
2- The Eternal Paradise will be very spacious beyond measure: "And race towards forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous." (3:133); "Race towards forgiveness from your Lord; and a Garden as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who believe in God and His messengers. That is the grace of God; He bestows it on whomever He wills. God is the Possessor of Immense Grace." (57:21)
3- Within such vastness of Paradise, its dwellers can see and talk to the Hell-dwellers and their torment without being harmed even if such sinners are in the innermost bottoms/depths of Hell: "Then they will approach one another, questioning. One of them will say, "I used to have a friend. Who used to say, "Are you of those who believe? That after we die and become dust and bones, we will be called to account?" He will say, "Will you have a look?" He will look, and will see him in the lowest pit of Hell. He will say, "By God, you almost ruined me. Were it not for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among the arraigned."" (37:50-57).
4- This means that the doors of Paradise will not be closed; they will be open all the time: "The Gardens of Eden, with their doors wide-open for them." (38:50).
5- There will be mansions/chambers or palaces inside Paradise; their doors are implied; i.e., they are not mentioned explicitly here: "God promises the believers, men and women, gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever, and fine homes in the Gardens of Eden. But approval from God is even greater. That is the supreme achievement." (9:72); "He will forgive you your sins; and will admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow, and into beautiful mansions in the Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme success." (61:12).
6- The mansions/chambers or palaces inside Paradise will have doors and beds/couches/furnishings: "Those will be awarded the Chamber for their patience, and will be greeted therein with greetings and peace." (25:75); "Those who believe and work righteousness - We will settle them in Paradise, in mansions under which rivers flow, dwelling therein forever..." (29:58); "...and they will reside in the Chambers, in peace and security." (34:37); "But those who feared their Lord within piety will have mansions upon mansions, built high, with streams flowing beneath them..." (39:20); "...on couches facing one another." (15:47); "On furnishings, facing one another." (37:44); "Relaxing on luxurious furnishings..." (52:20); "On luxurious furnishings." (56:15); "In it are raised beds." (88:13); "And doors to their mansions, and furnishings on which they recline." (43:34).
7- The mansions of Paradise will have doors through which angels will enter to greet the Paradise dwellers: "Everlasting Gardens, which they will enter...And the angels will enter upon them from every door. "Peace be upon you, because you endured patiently. How excellent is the Final Home."" (13:23-24).
The doors or gates of Hell:
They are juxtaposed and contrasted with those of Paradise. Let us explain this further in the points below.
1- The doors of Hell are seven for seven different categories of Hell-dwellers: ""It has seven doors; for each door is an assigned category."" (15:44); of course, the number (seven) is part of the numerical miracles of the Quranic text.
2- Throngs of sinners will be herded by force into enter into the doors of Hell which will be opened suddenly (and closed forever once they enter); angels will rebuke them severely; this is part of their torment: "Those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in throngs. Until, when they have reached it, and its doors are opened, its keepers will say to them, "Did not messengers from among you come to you, reading to you the Verses of your Lord, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "Yes, but the verdict of torment is justified against the disbelievers."" (39:71).
3- This rebuke will be repeated as they pass through the doors of Hell therein they will dwell forever: "It will be said, "Enter through the doors of Hell, to abide therein eternally." How wretched is the destination of the arrogant." (39:72); "Enter through the doors of Hell, to dwell therein forever. Miserable is the residence of the arrogant." (16:29); "Enter through the doors of Hell, to remain therein forever. What a terrible dwelling for the arrogant." (40:76).
4- Hence, the doors of Hell will be for the entry of sinners and never for any exit; no Hell-dwellers will get out of Hell; they will remain inside Hell for eternity: "...and they will not come out of the Hell-Fire." (2:167); "They will want to leave the Hell-Fire, but they will not leave it. For them is a lasting torment." (5:37).
5- Hence, the doors of Hell will be closed forever once all sinners enter through them: "But as for those who disbelieve in Our Verses - these are the people of misery. Upon them is a padlocked Fire." (90:19-20); "God's kindled Fire. That laps to the hearts. It closes in on them. In extended columns." (104:6-9).
6- Hell-dwellers will never be able to run away or exit through closed doors of Hell: "...As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads. Melting their insides and their skins. And they will have maces of iron. Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: "Taste the torment of burning."" (22:19-22); "But as for those who transgressed, their shelter is the Fire. Every time they try to get out of it, they will be brought back into it, and it will be said to them, "Taste the suffering of the Fire which you used to deny."" (32:20).
7- Hell-torment will never abates and no Hell-dwellers will get out of Hell; they will never die: "As for those who disbelieve, for them is the Fire of Hell, wherein they will never be finished off and die, nor will its torment be lightened for them. Thus We will repay every disbeliever. And they will scream therein, "Our Lord, let us out, and we will act righteously, differently from the way we used to act." Did We not give you a life long enough, in which anyone who wanted to understand would have understood? And the warner did come to you. So taste. The evildoers will have no supporter." (35:36-37).
8- The hypocrites will enter into the lower depths of Hell; a wall with a door will separate them (as they experience the Hell-torment) from true believers (who will enjoy mercy inside Paradise): "On the Day when the hypocritical men and hypocritical women will say to those who believed, "Wait for us; let us absorb some of your light." It will be said, "Go back behind you, and seek light." A wall will be raised between them, in which is a door; within it is mercy, and outside it is torment." (57:13); "The hypocrites will be in the lowest level of the Fire, and you will find no supporter for them." (4:145).
All pleasures of this transient world will never be equal to a second spent inside the bliss of the Eternal Paradise; all possible torment in this transient world will never be equal to a second spent inside the torments of Hell-Fire.

Derf Scratch, original bassist for Los Angeles punk band Fear, passed away on July 28 due to complications from an unknown illness, the OC Weekly reports. Although Fear continues to work today under original guitarist/vocalist Lee Ving, the band underwent numerous lineup changes over the last 30-plus years, with Scratch playing in the band's most fruitful period, 1977-1982.
Born Frederick Milner, Scratch helped raise Fear's profile in the late '70s and early '80s by befriending punk rock fan John Belushi. The actor became such a supporter of the band, he secured them as a musical guest on the 1981 Halloween episode of 'Saturday Night Live.' One of the more notorious performances in 'SNL' history, Fear and their crowd of moshing, brawling fans, which included Belushi and Fugazi's Ian MacKaye, caused $20,000 worth of damage.
Ving eventually fired Scratch from the band a short time after their 1982 debut album, 'The Record,' was released. In a 2004 interview with Mark Prindle, Scratch revealed his post Fear career included a band called Scratch and another later band called Derf Scratch and Friends. In 2006, he was in a bad car accident following a gig of another new act he was playing with called the Werewolfs.

Dream Eaters
Dream Eaters are a new type of Creatures introduced in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. They, like Heartless, are seperated into two groups, Nightmares and Spirts. The Nightmares only eat good dreams while the Spirits only eat bad dreams.
The Spirits are Dream Drop Distance's version of Donald and Goofy. They tend to be light colors, such as yellow or orange compared to the Nightmares, which are blue and black. A Spirits color can also be changed using the special in-game item Paint Gun.
You can feed special candy to your Spirits to increase Attack, Defense, and Affinity. Also, depending on what you feed them, their disposition can change. The type of dispostion they have will change the eye color of the spirit (blue, purple, yellow, or green). This is determined like the below graph.
|Ursa Circus
|Confetti Candy (Purple)
|Shield Cookie (Blue)
|Block-it Chocolate (Green)
|Ice Dream Cone (Yellow)
Another way to change a spirits dispostion is to either pet or poke the spirit using the stylus. Petting them will change them between thier Purple and Blue dispostions. While poking them will chang them into their Green and Yellow dispostions.
When creating new spirits, not all of the spirits' possible ablities are available in the ablility link . To open these "hidden ablilites," the player must have the spirit change into each of its four possible dispostions, therefore opening new paths in the ablity link.
All Spirit dispostition are listed on each Spirit's page in the order of: Confetti, Candy, Chocolate, and Ice Cream.
