A new review was just  published at Science Fiction and Fantasy Audio:

SHARDS by Bruce Baugh
"What stands out in this production is the narration. Wayne June was just perfect for the story. I have a short list of narrators I just love to listen to, and none exceed Mr. June's talent. His range of credible voices is astonishing. ...Every time a new character was introduced and June would use a new voice I would think, "My goodness, how many unique voices can this guy do?!" They were all uniquely distinct..."

 Going into production this week: Volume 3 of the AudioBookCase audiobook series: "Into That Darkness Peering: Nightmarish Tales of the Macabre by Edgar Allan Poe". Volume three includes "The Haunted Palace", "The Pit and the Pendulum", and "Berenice."

Of The Haunted Palace, Poe remarked, " ...by the Haunted Palace I mean to imply a mind haunted by phantoms -- a disordered brain.'' The poem is a phantasmic success in illustrating a manifestation of mental disturbance, with truly amazing intuitive insight into the inner man; the psyche, the soul, the self ...as "Haunted Palace".

From "The Pit & the Pendulum"... for my seared and writhing body there was no longer an inch of foothold on the firm floor of the prison. I struggled no more, but the agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long, and final scream of despair.

Poe's own words: "...In relation to Berenice: The subject is by far too horrible, and I confess that I hesitated in sending it you... (the) nature consists ...in the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical. ...I allow that it approaches the very verge of bad taste -- but I will not sin quite so egregiously again."

It'll be available on the AudioBookCase website by Oct 1st. That's here: http://www.audiobookcase.com

Review From
Science Fiction and Fantasy Audio by Jesse Willis
Discover the finest in Science Fiction Audiobooks, Fantasy Audiobooks, and Audio Drama

Into That Darkness Peering: Nightmarish Tales Of The Macabre - Vol. 1 By Edgar Allan Poe; Read by Wayne June Publisher: AudioBookCase.com
3 tales from the original master of horror fiction, Edgar Allan Poe! Included in this collection are "The Raven", "The Black Cat" and "The Cask Of Amontillado."

Narrator Wayne June [has] done his research on this new series of definitive Edgar Allan Poe readings, and in listening you'll absolutely have to agree... June never falters... captures the sympathetic first person narrative and then drives home the barbarity flawlessly... There are already many versions of these three classics available on audio, but I'd venture not a single one could come even close to match any of these three. Wayne June's voice is perfectly matched to the melancholic material. As was the case with his superlative Lovecraft recordings, nobody else's voice is more more morbidly macabre than is Wayne June's. This is essential listening.

Review From: Amazon.UK:
The Shadow Over Innsmouth and Dagon By H. P. Lovecraft; Read by Wayne June

Wayne June, who reads all six available volumes, has once again done a magnificent job in bringing this audiobook to creeping, slithering life. Lovecraft's prose can sometimes be intimidatingly dense and complex but Wayne June paces the readings perfectly, allowing for all the charged emotional gravitas that these stories require."Shadow Over Innsmouth" is a tale of earth-shattering psychological horror set in a shunned and decaying coastal fishing town. This story could easily be destroyed by an over-the-top or uncommitted reading but Mr June convincingly conveys the narrator's growing unease and eventual blind panic as he slowly uncovers the grim secret of Innsmouth and pieces together the horrid truth of Obed Marsh's legacy. These readings... have proved to be exceptional and seriously deserve shelf-space in the home of anyone who appreciates high quality tales of fear, apprehension and (mostly) unseen terrors. Rated 5 Stars

Review From

Audiobook Fix by Scott D. Danielson
...the finest H.P. Lovecraft I've heard to date. Wayne June narrates, and he was born to read these stories. Narrating Lovecraft isn't the easiest thing—there is not a lot of dialogue—but June is able to make these stories sound both dark and conversational. His deep voice and his spot-on inflection keep the exposition interesting, which makes this collection of audiobooks a perfect way to experience Lovecraft for the first time or the nth time. ... more

Wow... Tell me more about my eyes! :-)Wayne Junehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589504158081164205.post-28138865094203824242008-05-24T09:24:00.010-04:002008-05-24T10:51:33.482-04:00The Latest

Hmm....Where to start? Well, let's see; in the audiobook department, I've been working on a new production for the H.P.Lovecraft series I've been recording for the past few years, now. The series is called "The Dark Worlds of H. P. Lovecraft" and it's one of my favorite projects. For those of you unfamiliar with Howard Phillips Lovecraft, his stories of alien races, older and more powerful than humankind seeking to re-establish their position as dominant species on the Earth has spawned what's known as the Cthulhu Mythos. Literary critics credit him with being the inventor of modern horror and an influence on writers like Robert Bloch, Wes Craven and Stephen King, to name a few.

He was featured in sci-fi pulp mags such as Weird Tales, Thrilling Wonder Stories and Amazing Stories. His writing style is kind of Edgar Allan Poe-inspired, and his stories will creep you out. He gave me nightmares as a kid; hopefully I'll be able to pass some of that on to you. :-)

Speaking of Edgar Allan Poe, I'm narrating and producing a six-volume audiobook series of his stuff called "Into that Darkness Peering: Nightmarish Tales of the Macabre", got two volumes published as of now. Check out the link in the lower right hand column to "AudioBookCase Publisher's Blog" for all the info. Volume one has been getting good reviews. I won't go into all the details here, but I will say that SFFaudio just informed me that they're tagging it as an "SFFaudio Essential." (They gave me one for the Lovecraft, too!; Thanks Jesse!) Check out SFFaudio at http://www.sffaudio.com/

Also in the horror audiobook category, I've just finished a production of Jack Ketchum's "Hide and Seek", that's on the shelves now and I'll have some download information for you soon in case you prefer that format over CD. Lot's of other stuff happenin', I'll save that for another time. Hope you like the audiobooks, shoot me an email and let me know.

Seacrest Out ;-)

I started as a musician, playing drums and singing in bands when I was kid. Never looked back. Freelancing in rock bands at first, then as opportunities arose or circumstance demanded, gradually became fluent in the musical "languages" of Blues, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, eventually picking up Swing, and Jazz.

Fast forward to the present and 30-something years later I'm still playing, still freelance. (So if you need a drummer and/or singer, you know who to call!) I've played covers of every ilk and played in original bands and general business bands for private events, I think I can safely say I've played in every type venue you can envision.

I toured and recorded for several years with one of my childhood heroes, Johnny Winter; that was a blast. We did several European tours during my tenure, as well as playing every state in the Union, and I'm fond of saying "I've seen the world... didn't really care for it." (An attempt at dry humor). We played everything from medium-sized clubs to huge concert stages and I had the privilege of recording with the Man on his Grammy nominated album "I'm a Bluesman" on the Virgin label.

In around 1998 I started to develop an interest in voiceover, and started an internet-based audio production and voiceover-narration business, which I'm happy to say is thriving and which you can learn more about if you're interested by visiting my website at www.WayneJune.com.

Having been an audiobook fan and an avid reader all my life, it was a natural development of interests, opportunity and circumstance that led to the latest branch of my business activities, which includes audiobook production and narration for independent publishers and authors, as well as an entrance into audiobook publishing with the recent birth of AudioBookCase. You can investigate that venture here: www.AudioBookCase.com.

So that's the thumbnail sketch of Wayne June. Mercifully, I'm tired of talking about it for now, so I'm going to go find something else to do. ;-)

This is my initial post, just introducing myself to anyone who has wandered by. I'd like to be able to justify adopting the old "Outer Limits" voiceover intro: "You are about to participate in a great adventure..." But, that probably isn't true. I'll be chronicling what I've done, what I'm doing, what I intend to do, and more or less thinking out loud, sharing things I've found interesting and commenting on whatever I think worthy of comment... and hopefully keeping my foot out of my mouth. We'll see.

By Alyssa Dioguardi, Teacher, The Bronxville School
Dec. 20, 2017: I have never been a huge fan of holiday radio stations that play Christmas music all day long. Don't get me wrong, I love a good holiday song, but I was never really drawn to the kind of pop holiday music that is all over the radio.
In an earlier life, I trained to be a classical pianist and was always drawn to the kind of epic symphonies that showcased the versatility of music alongside the grandeur of the holidays. I think that is partly why I love "Carol of the Bells" so much and was surprised to find myself excited the first time I heard it on the radio this year. But something was not quite right; as I listened, I realized that this wasn't "Carol of the Bells" at all but a Cricket Wireless radio commercial. To say I was devastated was an understatement. Here is this beautiful choral piece that so clearly signifies the holiday spirit (or at the very least, memories of watching Home Alone), and it was being used to sell data plans for wireless devices.
For me, this experience was a personal call to realize what the holiday season is really about – not cell phones, new clothes, or gadgets, but about embracing time with family and friends and being thankful for the year's fortunes and experiences. We at the Bronxville Teachers' Association are so fortunate to have members in our Bronxville School community who embrace these values year-round and share them with our students and our local community.
This month I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Veronica Lindahl, third-grade teacher, who leads the charge in organizing BTA involvement with the HOPE Soup Kitchen.
How long have you been working with the HOPE Soup Kitchen?
I started volunteering with my fellow BTA members four years ago as part of what was supposed to be a one-time event. However, after the overwhelmingly wonderful emails I received from my fellow staff members wanting to continue to help, it quickly turned into a monthly initiative that we have continued for four years now.
How did you become involved with the HOPE Soup Kitchen?
Helping the homeless is something I have been passionate about since my senior year in high school when I chose to write about the high population of homeless children as my senior research thesis. When David Katz asked if I could help spearhead this new work, I jumped at the opportunity. The church I belong to, St. Catharine's in Pelham, is one of the churches that cooks food for HOPE, so I knew about this soup kitchen prior to discussing it with David. I feel honored to work with my colleagues in doing this important work and helping those less fortunate than us.
What kind of work do you do when you are there?
When we get to the soup kitchen, the first thing we do is go around and serve juice, water, and salad. Next, we split up, and half of the volunteers create an assembly line and dish out the food onto the plates. The other half of the staff serves the clients. After a prayer has been said and everyone has eaten, the clients are invited up for seconds. We also pass out to-go bags that have been made earlier in the day. Finally, we help clean up by sweeping and washing the tables.
Can you talk about a memorable or surprising experience you've had while there?
I think the most memorable experience I have had there was my first time going to the soup kitchen. At first, I was taken back by the number of people that were there and in need of help, and then, as I began to work, I was moved by the HOPE community and how it was a sort-of family where these clients felt a sense of belonging to. Carole Troum, executive director, calls it a "family of choice." As I began to meet the incredible women that work there, like Iris, who is 98 years old and full of spirit and energy, I was moved by their gigantic hearts and how the soup kitchen is just a small portion of what they do to help get others back on their feet. Working at HOPE Soup Kitchen is both a rewarding and humbling experience.
How do you involve your students in the work that you do? What impact does it have on them?
Working at the soup kitchen has afforded me the opportunity to discuss with my students my experiences while working there. Although my students are not at the age where they can help volunteer at the kitchen, they have asked me if they can help in other ways. For the holidays, they created snowflakes and cards that were used to decorate the hall of the soup kitchen to bring extra cheer to the clients during the holiday season. Last year, a group of fifth-graders came down to interview me for their inquiry project on homelessness and then took it upon themselves to call the soup kitchen and set up an appointment with one of the directors to see if they can help make a further difference. I think that it is important to have these discussions with students and to help inspire them to take action in the world. No matter how young our students are, we can begin them on the path of looking beyond themselves, foster the seeds of empathy, and inspire taking small steps towards greater change.
What don't we know about the soup kitchen?
Carole Troum, the executive director at HOPE, shared with me that the soup kitchen was founded 33 years ago and last year they served 39,532 meals. The food comes from 35 local churches, synagogues, and organizations. Up to 200 volunteers staff the soup kitchen each month to help it run smoothly. The soup kitchen is also a point of entry to other programs. HOPE Community Services also has several other programs. One program is the Community Outreach/Self-Sufficiency Program. This is a drop-in program that provides problem-solving and resources to the community. Another program is Housing for the Homeless. HOPE Community Services offers four housing programs, and in the last year, they helped house over 100 chronically homeless individuals, many of whom are veterans. An additional program is their food pantry, which provides bags of groceries, meat, and produce. Last year, bags of groceries were given out to 13,877 people. This includes 4,032 children. We gave out 13,653 bags totaling 368,631 meals.
This time of year, HOPE Community Services needs help sorting winter coats and Christmas toys and sorting groceries from food drives. You can go to the website http://www.hopecommunityservices.org/donate.html to donate.
After having a lovely lunch with Veronica, I realized that while the holidays were an opportune time to talk about the work that the Bronxville Teachers' Association does with HOPE Soup Kitchen, it is by no means the only time that we should be thinking about giving back. With the many wonderful programs that the HOPE Soup Kitchen supports year-round, there is always a way that we can continue to give back. The BTA is so fortunate to have such a passionate and dedicated individual working with our students and teachers to help spread the love during the holidays and throughout the year. Veronica, thank you for all the amazing work you do in bringing our community together!

Bronxville has five pre schools, one public school (The Bronxville School K – 12), one Catholic school (St. Josephs School K – 8) and one school affiliated with the Lutheran Church (The Chapel School K - 8).
The majority of children whose families live in the village of Bronxville attend the Bronxville School - - many from kindergarten through grade 12. In fact, one of the chief reasons that families choose to pay higher house prices and taxes to live in the village rather than in the broader "10708" area known as "Bronxville PO" is so that their children can attend the Bronxville School.
Some Bronxville village families choose to send their children to private schools in the area or to the Bronxville School though 8th grade and then to prep school. But, by and large, this group is still in the minority. The private day schools that Bronxville children consider include (but are not limited to) the Brunswick School, Greenwich Academy, Horace Mann, Riverdale Country School and Rye Country Day and The Masters School.
Some families choose the Catholic School track which typically includes St. Josephs (K – 8) and then onto other Catholic schools for high school. Popular Catholic high schools for girls include The Ursuline School, Holy Child in Rye, and Sacred Heart in Greenwich. Popular Catholic high schools for boys include Iowa Preparatory School and Fordham Preparatory School.
Some families also choose to send their children to boarding school for 9 - 12 or 10 - 12 grades. Popular schools include Exeter, Andover, Hotchkiss, St. Paul's, Taft and Choate.
Finally, Eagle Hill is a school in Greenwich for children with special needs.

TRAVERSE CITY - It's an old adage that's been uttered many times.
'It's never easy to beat a team three times during the season.'
Such was the case for the Charlevoix High School girls' soccer team Tuesday as it faced the Traverse City Liberty in a Division IV regional semifinal at the Traverse City Coast Guard Field.
Led by All-Stater Helene Dryden's hat trick, the Liberty avenged a pair of regular season losses in route to rolling past the Rayders, 5-2.
The Liberty, 16-4-1, advances to the regional final against Muskegon Western Michigan Christian, a 2-0 winner over Kent City Algoma Christian.

Meet Andrew Romanoff – Colorado Speaker of the House to Mental Health Advocate
Only half of the people in Colorado who need mental healthcare get it, according to the advocacy group Mental Health Colorado. The organization's CEO Andrew Romanoff is focused on changing that. Five Hundred thousand people aren't getting the healthcare they need, says Romanoff.
"We do a pretty good job, I think, in this state, in responding to crises, but not in preventing them," asserts Romanoff, who maintains that in Colorado, as in other states, it's estimated that it takes eight to ten years on average to respond to diagnoses of mental illness. The former state legislator and Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives support a multi-faceted approach to improving mental health treatment in the state. Early detection and prevention are vital at the outset, says Romanoff, then delivery of services, including adequate mental healthcare networks, in-patient beds, transition services, and supportive housing are important. Another area of concern is making sure that insurance companies fulfill their responsibilities to patients. This often involves a legislative approach, something at which both staffers at Mental Health Colorado and Romanoff are quite skilled.
Led by Romanoff, Mental Health Colorado works with the Colorado Insurance Commission to be certain that companies are following state law, like complying with the guidelines of a statute that requires that someone experiencing a mental health crisis be seen by a mental health professional within 24 hours, and that someone with a less acute mental health concern be seen within seven calendar days.
For years Romanoff has been instrumental in crafting legislation that supports people with mental illness in their efforts to get treatment. A parity law he champions guarantees that people with mental health conditions receive the same level of support as people with physical conditions. In his leadership of Mental Health Colorado the former lawmaker wants to broaden the network of support for those with mental illness and combat obstacles to treatment.
Romanoff is expanding support across the state, with employees and volunteers, to make sure that access to mental health care is widely available to people even in rural areas of the state. To find out more about programs supported by Mental Health Colorado and how to get involved in increasing access to mental healthcare for all Coloradans contact Mental Health Colorado at: www.mentalhealthcolorado.org, or (720) 208-2220.

By Bob Gordon, FOTAS Director of Communications
While it is impossible to determine exactly how many orphaned dogs and cats live in the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) estimates that for cats alone the number is upwards of 70 million. That figure is staggering but the ASPCA stat that is a true jaw-dropper is this one: only 10 percent of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered, while 83 percent of pet dogs and 91 percent of pet cats are spayed or neutered.
This means a vast majority of pet owners are acting responsibly by getting their pets fixed. But a small percentage of people who do not get their animals spayed or neutered are the source of our cat and dog overpopulation crisis.
FOTAS and the Aiken County Animal Shelter are well aware of this troubling trend, and that is why they are working together to make spay/neutering pets as easy as possible for local residents. Aiken County has a voucher program to assist its citizens who are in need of financial help to spay/neuter their pets and community cats. It also has a Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) program in which feral cats are fixed and then returned to local cat colonies. FOTAS supplements both of these limited County initiatives with its "Fix-A-Pet" program. In fact, since launching Fix-A-Pet in 2013, FOTAS has organized and, through donations, paid for the spay/neuter surgeries of more than 1,800 community cats and pets owned by citizens in need of financial assistance.
Now you may be thinking, "How can such a small minority of irresponsible pet owners create such a huge overpopulation problem?" If we take a look at some more stats, the answer to that question becomes crystal clear. According to the ASPCA, a fertile cat produces one to two litters of kittens a year; the average number of kittens is four to six per litter. A fertile dog produces about one litter per year and the average amount of puppies in a litter is four to six. In other words, the cute little critters can make a lot of babies in a very short time.
Cats are especially impressive breeding machines. They can become sexually mature at four months old. Since the average gestation period for a cat is about two months, a kitten could deliver a litter when she is as young as six months old. Kittens having kittens! This is why it is not uncommon for people to start caring for a small group of cats living on their property and soon witness the manageable group explode into a cat colony of 20 or more felines.
It is heartbreaking when cats and dogs are abandoned by their owners and left to fend for themselves. The animal's world is shattered. But when the dog or cat is not fixed, the result is a cycle of heartbreak as multiple unwanted, orphan animals are born.
Please help spread the word to spay/neuter your pet. Until everyone in our community fixes their pets, the County Animal Shelter and other local shelters will continue taking in thousands of homeless animals every year.
For more information about the FOTAS Fix-a-Pet Program, please go to www.fotasaiken.org or call the Fix-A-Pet Hotline, (803) 514-4313.
Their lives are in our hands…

"I must have bunked off that day," said I.
I was joking.
One look at Mrs Goldsmith, her with the gold hair who was rather an expert piano player, confirmed I would have been approximately eight years old.
At eight years of age there would have been no reason whatsoever to bunk school. It was a time where I sang loudly and unselfconsciously in assembly. I didn't have spots or a bad perm and boys were just people who wore trousers to school.
I even enjoyed lessons. Especially our book reviews and making things. School dinners were very exciting when we had fat chips and pink iced buns, which was quite a lot of the time to be honest.
I gazed fondly at all the familiar faces in the photograph and was pleased with myself for repeating all their names. For seven years we were all classmates, seven different teachers and seven different classrooms but the same bunch of kids.
There was Susan, my best friend throughout infants and juniors. I wondered why I'd chosen her to be my best friend, and felt quite lucky that we'd grown up together and had a lot of fun together.
I've absolutely no idea what she's doing now. We lost touch when we were separated at senior school.
There was Claire, who I used to swap shoes with, and who became my best friend at senior school, until she decided she wanted to be Yvette's best friend and I wasn't best pleased about that.
I heard through the grapevine that Claire later married a local MP, who alas was sent to prison for setting fire to hotel curtains.
There was Nina, with the really long hair, who lived in a big house with chandeliers and a grand piano. I was ever so impressed when she invited me for dinner at her house and I discovered these facts.
Oh so many names and faces and happy memories of birthday parties and playtime. Life was simple then.
With regret, there is usually always a kid who didn't make it. Sadly on this occasion it was Joanne. She was standing at the back of the photograph, being one of the tallest, with her pretty face and short dark hair. She was killed in a car crash just after we left senior school. We went to the same senior school and she wrote 'see you there' in my junior schools last day of term book. Funny the things you never forget.
Life got more complicated after we left junior school, so I can't say I'm as fond of focusing on my next school. This brought algebra and netball. Competitiveness, awkwardness and homework. Then exams.
No, senior school was not nearly as pleasant. I was aware of bullying and not wanting to be unpopular, with girls and boys. It was hard work sometimes.
For not the first time I stared at the photograph and wished I'd been at school that day, so I could now laugh at my fringe or how small I looked.
It was Bradley Glen who had posted the photograph on Facebook and tagged a mutual friend. He's now an actor and calls himself Brad. Yes I looked at his Facebook wall and was interested to see what he'd made of his life.
I noticed he was Facebook friends with Nina, she still had really long hair and carried the look of someone who'd grown up in a glamorous house. There were various other old faces and I silently thanked Facebook for allowing me to peek at their lives.
One lad from the photograph had commented that it would be funny to arrange a reunion. The class of 1983, or whatever the year must have been. I knew it must have been September, the start of a new term, the day everyone posed for the class picture. I expect I was on a family holiday. Yes I decided I must have been. My mum hates the heat so we always holidayed in the cooler month of September, during a period when it was perfectly acceptable to vacate during term time.
I would have been enjoying myself with my mum and dad and my dear brother. A good old fashioned family holiday. With all four members of the team.
I suddenly realised I was glad I wasn't in the photograph.
I smiled as I imagined the lovely day I must have been experiencing somewhere else.

Ah, FB is good for things like these. I've got tons of ex-school friends since I went to rather big schools with changing classrooms (except for Junior High). Yep, sadly there are a few friends who aren't on earth anymore, but looking at the old photos always bring back the memories of the ones I still remember. :-)

Yes Facebook is very good for these sort of things. So many people I would have lost touch with or not been able to have a nose at! Yes it's always sad though when you hear about the ones who didn't make it.

RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER has begun principal photography in South Africa with its full cast in place. Joining the returning cast members Milla Jovovich (as Alice), Ali Larter (as Claire Redfield), Iain Glen (as Dr. Alexander Isaacs), and Shawn Roberts (as Albert Weske) are the sleek as hell Australian Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black) as Abigail, Eoin Macken (The Night Shift) as Doc, William Levy (proud member of People en Español's 50 Most Beautiful) as Christian, Fraser James (Law & Order: UK) as Michael, and Rola (Japanese model and TV personality) as Cobalt.
With an interesting and fresh cast, THE FINAL CHAPTER might turn out to be one to watch out for. If it does, we all know that the word "Final" is about as dubious as a brunch cooked by Hannibal Lecter.
New plot details have also been dropped! Check it:
Picking up immediately after the events in RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION, humanity is on its last legs after Alice is betrayed by Wesker in Washington D.C. As the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity's final stand against the undead hordes, Alice must return to where the nightmare began – Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.
In a race against time Alice will join forces with old friends, and an unlikely ally, in an action packed battle with undead hordes and new mutant monsters. Between losing her superhuman abilities and Umbrella's impending attack, this will be Alice's most difficult adventure as she fights to save humanity, which is on the brink of oblivion.
RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER opens January 17, 2017.

LisaI have been working in the veterinary field now for 19 years. I became a certified technician in 2003 and attended the University of Arizona for a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science. I love working with and helping animals, and have had the opportunity to work in all aspects of veterinary medicine from shelter medicine, private practice, Integrative medicine to working at the specialty center with the boarded specialists. My passion is in surgery, integrative medicine and rescue work. I came to Santa Cruz Pet Clinic to help make a difference in our community and to assist Dr. Neal in providing medical services to our clients and their pets in need of good quality medicine that they can afford. When I am not working, I enjoy hiking with my dog, swimming and yoga.
Larmie brings her positive and enthusiastic "Get'R'Done" attitude to work -- every day! She also brings a wealth of experience in her position as Veterinary Technician at the Santa Cruz Veterinary Clinic. Her love and concern for animals resulted in her attending Pima Medical Institute in Colorado Springs, where she graduated in May 2005 as a Vet Assistant. Larmie then interned at the Colorado Springs Humane Society and found that she loved shelter work! After working for a Small Animal Hospital for a year following veterinary assistant school, she knew working with animals would be her life's work. From May 2006 to October 2009 the Southern Arizona Humane Society Spay/Neuter Clinic offered her a position as a Clinic Technician, but she was quickly promoted to Senior Supervisor. In October 2009 she had an opportunity to work in a small animal hospital in New Hampshire, but missed home and Arizona weather too much to stay. So Larmie joined the spay/neuter clinic at HSSAZ in February 2011. During this time, she joined others in the "Mash style" clinics in Mexico and Native American reservations. In January, 2013, Larmie accepted Dr. Neal's offer of a position with the newly opened Santa Cruz Clinic, where she continues to follow her passion for spay/neuter clinics in Douglas, AZ and volunteers at spay/neuter "Mash" clinics. But she is NOT all work and no play – when she's not working, she's more than likely riding her Harley Davidson motorcycle – just like her Dad taught her!
TiffanyTiffany is a recent graduate of Pima Medical Institute. She became a Veterinary Assistant to become a voice for animals as she has always wanted since she was a little girl. Tiffany brings her positive attitude and cheerfulness to work everyday. When Tiffany is not working she is enjoying life through her art work.

Maybe you know him as the Hot Pocket comedian. Or as the guy who has popped up in everything from Going the Distance to Portlandia to Law & Order. But now, with last year's release of his first book, Dad Is Fat (a perfect last-minute Father's Day gift, by the way), you can know Jim Gaffigan as a New York Times best-selling author. We sat down with the pale comic for a quick discussion on parenthood, standup and… condiments.
"Standup is very rewarding. I don't think anyone who makes a living doing standup is really allowed to complain about anything."
Congrats on the book! What's the best reason for guys to pick it up?
Well, hopefully it's funny. I definitely wanted it to be a book that I would want to read. And I'm an observational comedian, so it's something that, whether you have kids or not, it should be funny, you know? It's a book about how being a father is really still a mystery to me. I mean, I love it, but I have no idea what I'm doing.
What's harder, writing a book or your first two years of standup?
I would say the first two years of standup. You know, standup is all about getting an idea across in the shortest possible phraseology, and writing an essay is all about clarity and setting a scene and finishing it off, so writing an essay and a book of essays is difficult. But those first two years of standup, you're just kind of shooting in the dark, really.
In the book, you write about living with your wife and five kids in a two-bedroom apartment. Is it at least a large two-bedroom apartment?
It's not, really. It's probably 1,100 square feet. But it's very much a temporary thing. It's not like I want to raise my kids their entire lives in that apartment. But when your wife's pregnant, the last thing she wants to do is pack up and move. But I think we definitely have to move. My kids are getting big. I mean, you can barely walk three steps without walking into someone at this point.
Jim's book is so funny, people crack up just watching him hold it.
Speaking of your wife, she's a babe. With all due respect, what's the secret to scoring a woman who's out of your league?
I wish I understood. You know, I'm married to a woman that, when I'm with her and people find out that she's my wife, there's usually an audible "Wow." Which is flattering but it's also kind of insulting. It's not like I am the hunchback of Notre Dame. I also got married before the Hot Pocket thing even took off. I mean, I was a working comedian, but I don't think it was success that attracted her. I think I had some confidence. But I don't know. Maybe we'll find out she's blind or something.
For someone thinking about doing standup, what's your advice?
Well, write as much as you can. But also: perform in front of like-minded people. There's this mythology that you're supposed to deal with the hardest rooms you can face. But finding people with a similar sensibility makes a lot of sense. So, if you're in college, do a show in front of other college students initially. And if you're in your 20s and you live in a bohemian part of the city, find a coffee shop there. You know? There's no sense in immediately trying to make people you have nothing in common with laugh.
Just to make ourselves feel better: have you ever bombed onstage? If so, how did you handle it?
Oh, I've bombed many times. I mean, it's definitely been a while. But now, even when there's disappointing shows, I have developed a detached reaction to it, where I can kind of move on. But yeah, there were plenty of bombings that occurred. And believe me, they were very instructive and good motivators.
Little-known fact: Jim provided his own wardrobe for his Portlandia appearance.
You've also appeared in a lot of TV shows and films. Got a favorite?
They're all kind of fun. Flight of the Conchords and Portlandia were exceptionally fun because they were very improv-based. And so as a comedian, that's really fun. I mean, I love doing dramas and stuff like that. I did a play on Broadway and that was amazing. But that's some heavy lifting. That's like running a marathon. As opposed to doing Flight of the Conchords or Portlandia. That's like taking a swim with some friends.
Is there one role that you didn't get that you really wished you would have?
Well, I'm pretty happy with my life. But I tested for the lead of The Office. And I tested for Will Arnett's role on Arrested Development. But I don't know, it's weird. Standup is very rewarding. I don't think anyone who makes a living doing standup is really allowed to complain about anything. Because not only are we doing what we love, but we get creative fulfillment pretty much on a nightly basis. And you can control how productive or unproductive you are. Whereas with acting, you know, acting is like stripping but you don't get any of the dollar bills. I have a lot of respect for actors because it's a pretty humiliating process.
Any parting words of wisdom?
Mustard's pretty good on a hamburger. I think that people forget that.

Downton Abbey, Mad Men and House of Cards score Emmy 2013 nominations
- Niki Boyle
- 18 July 2013
The awards celebrate American TV programming, and provide clues to upcoming highlights on UK screens
The Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have just been announced, with TV series like Downton Abbey, Mad Men, House of Cards and Homeland nominated across several categories. Feature-length movies Phil Spector, starring Al Pacino, and Behind the Candelabra, starring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas, also received nominations as they were originally written for TV (although Candelabra did enjoy a theatrical release, and considerable critical acclaim, in the UK). Breaking Bad, The Newsroom, Jane Campion's Top of the Lake and country & western drama Nashville were among the other nominees.

Compaq Computer Corp. today for the first time since last year's takeover of Digital Equipment Corp. reported year-on-year increases in both net income and revenues for its fourth fiscal quarter, ended Dec. 31, 1998.
The Houston-based computer vendor reported after-tax profit of US$758 million, or 43 cents per diluted share on revenues of $10.86 billion, compared with $667 million, 42 cents per share and $7.32 billion, respectively, in the corresponding quarter in 1997.
Following several quarters of losses and lower year-on-year earnings, the record results are a "key milestone" in Compaq's integration of Digital, and allow the company to enter 1999 with a "great deal of momentum and optimism," said Eckhard Pfeiffer, Compaq's president and chief executive offer, in a statement.
Compaq completed the Digital merger, valued at $9.6 billion, in June of 1998.
For the full year, however, mainly due to charges related to the Digital acquisition, Compaq reported a net loss of $2.74 billion, or $1.71 per diluted share, on revenues of $31.17 billion. In 1997, Compaq turned in a net profit figure of $1.86 billion on revenues of $24.58 billion.
On the upside, operating expenses, which had been high as a result of integrating the two companies, finally declined in the fourth quarter, to 18 percent of revenues, compared with 23 percent for the immediately prior quarter, the company said.
In addition, Compaq's sales through its distribution channels grew 43 percent year on year during the last quarter, a rate which the company said was over three times higher than the overall market.
More financial information on Compaq is available at http://www.compaq.com/corporate/ir.

You Can't Celebrate Christmas Without A Ham!
No Comments | Written on December 16, 2017 at 10:45 am , by Luis Rodriguez
As much as presents and a tree are part of Christmas tradition, so is a holiday ham! We honestly think that you can't really have a real Christmas dinner without a delicious ham on the table. This recipe for a traditional Christmas ham is going to the blow everyone's top and make their tastebuds go crazy!
Keep reading for the recipe…
This recipe is for a traditional Honey-Glazed Ham. We've all had one of those, and it's usually around Christmas. However, most people get the glaze out of the bag, and we don't think that's right.
It's so easy to make your own honey glaze! You can throw it together in just a few minutes. And the good thing about making it on your own, is that you can make as much of it as you want, which meant you could slather the ham with as much glaze you desire!
And don't forget the pineapple! It's the most important part to a Christmas ham.

NFL News 4/19/16: Brock Osweiler and the Denver Broncos QB Problems
A look at the Denver Broncos 2016 QB Situation, Free Agency/ Draft
See the Latest Odds
With Brock Osweiler departing from Denver in free agency, the Broncos have been on the hunt for a new starting quarterback.
The Case of Brock Osweiler
USA TODAY Sports
Brock Osweiler played in eight of the sixteen NFL games this 2015- 2016 season. Osweiler's stats during the 2015-2016 NFL season included an 86.4 passer rating, 10 touchdown passes, 6 picks thrown, and 1,967 yards thrown, these stats where enough to convince the Houston Texans to offer Osweiler a 4 year $72 million contract. With only seven NFL starts in Osweiler's entire career he will get paid annually more than Nick Foles, Matthew Stafford, Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton, Andrew Luck, Sam Bradford, and the list goes on, and on.
Is Osweiler really worth it? It is hard to tell how Osweiler could do with a full 16 game start. The Texans will have weapons for Osweiler to use, pro-bowl wide receiver Deandre Hopkins, and a dangerous backfield with Lamar Miller should carry some of the load off of Osweiler, not to mention the Texans will still have their defense lead by J.J. Watt which should help them win some games. With the Texans free agency moves, and the fact that the team already is a title contender, the Texans should have a somewhat successful upcoming season.
With the Texans taking Osweiler away, the Broncos have traded for Mark Sanchez from the Philadelphia Eagles. Right now on the depth chart, the Broncos only have quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian. There have been lots of rumors that the Broncos are exploring trades for Colin Kaepernick, or Josh McCown.
The best thing for the Broncos right now is to probably draft a quarterback using their first round pick for either Paxton Lynch or Connor Cook. Lynch or Cook could start to develop in the NFL during the 2016- 2017 season and could become the franchise quarterback the Broncos need. But right now don't expect the Broncos to trade for a quarterback unless they desperately want Kaepernick or McCown. Sanchez will probably not be the Broncos quarterback during the 2017- 2018 season though, unless he has an amazing season with the Broncos.
Mark Sanchez (4-2 Playoff Record) 2015-2016 Stats: 80.7 passer rating, 64.8% completion, 616 passing yards, 4 touchdowns thrown, 4 picks, 1 fumble

"I have the Actron Scanner CP9145 and the GM ALDL Cable CP9127 for reading codes on this 1994 Olds Cutlass Ciera S, which has the "transitional" OBD "1.5" PCM with a 12 pin connector which uses pins A,K,M. There is no pin B.
Do not short pins A,K,M - it will not read codes by shorting and shorting can ruin the PCM. Codes must be read only by using the proper Scan Tool and Cable.
If needed, anyone working on this car may use my Scanner. I will gladly set it up for you."
1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S 3.1 V-6 Engine Code "M"
When we first bought our Oldsmobile, I didn't know anything about it except that it looks good, runs good, has low miles and I found the complete history of it on the Internet, plus the price was right. I didn't do a mechanical check up of the car. I knew I would buy it so long as the engine and transmission sounded good. My wife and I drove it and bought it.
As soon as I got the car home, I wanted to check the engine codes. I got my paper clip and looked for the ALDL socket. It has the 12 pin socket and I wanted to short the A & B positions to read the codes by the flashing light on the instrument panel. I expected the 1994 Olds to have a standard OBD-1 system.
To my surprise, there was no metal connector in the B position. Only three of the 12 slots had connectors in them. Those were A, K and M. Ah Ha! I thought I had found my first defect, that being a broken ALDL socket.
These are how the 12 slots are identified.
My Olds has no B connecter, only A, K and M.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A "B" DO NOT USE A SHORTING DEVICE FROM A to K or M.
Shorting those could ruin your computer. You must use a scanner to check and erase your codes.
After discovering that my ALDL didn't have a "B" connector, I went to the Internet to find some information. I found a lot of information. Some good and some bad.
Many technicians began calling the "transitional" vehicles OBD-1.5. They are not completely OBD-1 and not completely OBD-2, so OBD-1.5 is a logical label for these systems.
The OBD-1.5 may have a 12 pin or a 16 pin ALDL. It might have an inside computer or an under hood computer. You will have sensors for monitoring more or less vehicle systems. (Perhaps manufacturers were using up parts on hand while adding new parts.) Those are items that you alone will have to determine by sight, testing, and a bit of study. Or you can take your vehicle to a shop and unless the mechanic is familiar with your particular vehicle, he will have to do a bit of study at your expense.
Since I wanted to do my own testing and clearing of codes as often as I wish, I wanted my own scanner. I bought the Actron Super Auto Scanner CP9145 with its companion GM 12 position connector cable. The pair cost about $135.00 through Amazon.com. It is worth the money. It tells me what I want to know.
Another thing to know is that the special OBD cable that goes with the CP9145 for the "transitional" vehicles is a different cable for different makes of vehicles, such as the GM cable will not fit a Ford vehicle. ALL different MAKES of vehicles need a special cable for that make of vehicle if you are testing the "transitional" system or earlier OBD 1.
If you have an OBD-1.5 "transitional" system, beware of cheap code readers. Do a little research before you spend $40.00 or $50.00 for a cheap code reader that will not work with your OBD-1.5. Those readers are generally made to fit and read the OBD-2 systems only.
I suggest that you go to http://www.actron.com/product_detail.php?pid=16150 and check the CP9145 scanner. It comes with the OBD 2, 16 pin connector but for the 12 pin ALDL connector, you will need the extra cable to fit your make of vehicle. Don't let the retail price of the CP9145 and special cable shock you -- they are available through other sellers such as Amazon.com for much less.
Also, if yours is a "transitional" vehicle, you cannot trust the expertise of your local parts store employees or shadetree mechanics to know everything about all vehicles.
When I take our 1994 Olds to a shop for service, I take a printed copy of the following NOTICE and tape it to the steering wheel:
I went to a local Auto Parts Store and asked a friend if he knew how to read the codes on a 1994 Olds. He said, "Yes, just short out two pins in the connector socket and the code will flash on your instrument panel."
Then I handed him 6 pages of information that I put together explaining the OBD-1.5 "transitional" vehicles and the danger of shorting the pins when no "B" pin is in the socket. That was at a nationwide, well known Auto Parts Store and no one in there knew the danger of shorting pins when there is no "B" pin in the socket. So don't expect everyone who sells parts or service to know the difference. After all, in 2010, this is a 16 year old vehicle.
A mechanic who knows the difference will usually smile upon reading my notice.
Below, I copied and pasted two responses concerning the OBD-1.5 from Internet forums. They are typical of the confusion that exists with these "transitional" vehicles.
The following applies to my vehicle. Your vehicle may be entirely different. I am not a mechanic and not even a good do-it-yourselfer. This page is to remind any reader to do your homework before parting with your cash.
"Don't try jumping anything. You will do damage.
"Yes, I am sure it is A, K, & M . I made this determination using my Haynes Repair Manual for this vehicle. I have come to understand that this vehicle was caught in a transition when GM was switching from OBD1 to OBD2. Certain 94 & 95 models, because of changes in the ECM, are different from all those before or after them. Jumpering terminals A & B will not work as on other models because there is no connection to pin B. I would like to buy a code reader that would work for this car. Do you know of one? I would like to be sure before I buy it."
If Pin "B" is not present in the 12-pin connector: Use the SUPER AutoScanner CP9145 with a GM ALDL Cable CP9127 or use the SUPER AutoScanner Kit CP9150.
Here's a sample of the information available on the Actron Web site.
Good Luck with your "transitional" OBD!
