William Desmond Taylor's Huckleberry Finn with Lewis Sargent.
Directed by William Desmond Taylor, Huckleberry Finn stars a fresh, freckle-faced Lewis Sargent as Huck. (Sargent was also featured in another 1920 Taylor production, The Soul of Youth.) Set in the antebellum South, this sentimental retelling of Mark Twain's iconic story revolves around the adventures of Huckleberry Finn after he is kidnapped by his no-good, drunken father (Frank Lanning). When Huck manages to escape, he enjoys his newfound freedom so much that he continues to elude the search party. As a result, everyone thinks he is dead.
Soon, Huck is joined by Jim (George Reed), a slave on the run. Later on, they meet up with a pair of chicken thieves who scheme to cheat three young girls from their father's inheritance.
Taylor, best known today as the murder victim of one of the biggest scandals in Hollywood history, skillfully directs Huckleberry Finn, always moving the action forward, and getting sustained performances from the actors. Frank E. Garbutt's carefully lit cinematography helps to enhance the drama.

Note from the editor: William Desmond Taylor was found dead in his Los Angeles bungalow on Feb. 2, 1922. The murder case has never been solved. Rumored suspects included actresses Mabel Normand (presumed to be the last person to see Taylor alive) and Mary Miles Minter, and Minter's mother, Charlotte Shelby.
At the time, Taylor was reportedly in a relationship with costume designer (and later set decorator) George James Hopkins. Among Hopkins' credits are: costume designer for several Theda Bara vehicles, including Cleopatra (1917), Salome (1918), and Kathleen Mavourneen (1919), and set decorator for dozens of movies, ranging from Casablanca (1942) and Mildred Pierce (1945) to Hello, Dolly! (1969) and The Day of the Locust (1975).
HUCKLEBERRY FINN (1920). Scr.: Julia Crawford Ivers; from Mark Twain's novel. Dir.: William Desmond Taylor. Cast: Lewis Sargent, George Reed, Katherine Griffith, Frank Lanning, Gordon Griffith, Esther Ralston, Edythe Chapman, Martha Mattox.

I was baking a birthday cake for my friend at work. We always celebrate each other's birthdays with cake! Most of the time we get a store bought cake. I decided to make a homemade one.
I baked my cakes and made my icing yesterday.
I had my supplies all ready and washed. They have been stored away for about eight years! The last decorated cake I made was for my son's wedding. A long, long time ago!

The ALS Association
(831) 869-1432
Washington, D.C. (August 13, 2013) - The ALS Association is pleased to announce it has awarded $500,000 to the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS) to fund new initiatives and ongoing programs that will increase the quality and efficiency of clinical trials for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The grant will support the work of NEALS in its collaboration with The Association's Translational Research Advancing Therapy (TREAT) ALS program, a diverse portfolio of ALS research to find treatments and a cure for ALS. '
ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. There is no cure and only one drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that modestly extends survival.
This is the sixth consecutive year of funding by The Association for NEALS, which is the largest consortium of ALS clinical researchers in the world. "We are very pleased to continue and extend support for ALS clinical trials research through the collaboration between NEALS and TREAT ALS," said Lucie Bruijn, Ph.D., Chief Scientist for The Association.
New initiatives funded this year include:
--Exploring the feasibility of a centralized Institutional Review Board (cIRB) for NEALS clinical trials. An IRB is responsible for protecting patient safety and autonomy during a clinical trial. Studies have shown that a centralized IRB can perform the same functions while greatly reducing the start-up time for a trial. NEALS will pursue the possibility of establishing a cIRB for its trials, in order to reduce delays in beginning trials for new drugs. They will also pursue efficiencies in contract development and trials site reporting, both important aspects of running efficient clinical trials.
--Videotaping the annual Clinical Research Learning Institute (CRLI) in an effort to reach a broader patient audience. The CRLI is an intensive program dedicated to educating patients and caregivers on clinical research and therapy development while also empowering them to act as advocates for ALS research. Providing web-based access to the program will offer patients and caregivers unparalleled access to this high-quality and actionable information.
--Creation of a Global ALS Patient Identifier. Using technology from the National Institutes of Health, NEALS will create a unique ID for each ALS patient who enters a clinical trial. This will protect patient identity while enhancing research collaboration. Researchers will be able to share data and biofluids without compromising patient privacy.
--Development of NeuroBANKTM, a platform for collaboration, research, education and best clinical practices development utilized by the ALS clinical and research community. NeuroBANK is poised to become central repository for clinical research data in ALS, greatly expanding the ability of researchers to share data and speed research. Samples collected through this resource are available for researchers world-wide.
"The ALS-CRLI has now helped 60 Research Ambassadors to be more effective advocates for ALS Research, thereby empowering them to speed the development of better ALS treatments. The ALS-CRLI program itself keeps getting better and better, thanks in large part to the excellent feedback we get from each graduating class," said Richard Bedlack, M.D., Ph.D., Duke University.
In addition to these new initiatives, The Association's support will allow continuation of multiple ongoing projects, including clinical trials recruitment, training of young investigators, and improving the quality of clinical trials through training of both Principal Investigators and Site Investigators.
Funding will also continue to support the ALS Association/NEALS Clinical Trial Expert Line, which offers a full-time staff member available to answer questions and help people navigate through the clinical research information. Help is available by telephone (877-458-0631) during regular business hours, Eastern Standard Time, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About The ALS Association
The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, and fostering government partnerships, The Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure.

So you've heard all about Irish authors bursting onto the YA stage of late, with their award wins and their YALC appearances. You've read books by Eoin Colfer, Louise O'Neill and Moïra Fowley-Doyle. But what to read next? Where's the rest of it? And did Irish YA even exist before 2015?
In answer: it did! As for what to read next and finding the rest of it, we've got you covered. I've chosen fairly recent (read: 21st century) releases here, but I may do another post with older reads or upcoming releases. If you're new to Irish YA: welcome! No, no need to take off your shoes. Cup of tea?
(And yes, Irish YA has pretty much always been this bleak. Irish children's and early teen fiction is madcap stuff. Then YA is all like BAM. Hormones. Adolescence. Darkness. Eyeliner.)
If you liked Knights of the Borrowed Dark by Dave Rudden (a tale of orphans, an ancient order of knights who keep comic-book style monsters at bay, and a boy with the unlikely name of Denizen Hardwick – reviewed in more detail here), you'll like…
Death and Co. by D.J. McCune
If this was American YA, Death and Co. would be a high-concept, big budget action adventure in the style of Rick Riordan or Maggie Stiefvater. Instead, this Northern writer's début takes a more down-to-earth approach.
For generations, Adam's family have been tasked with guiding the newly deceased into the afterlife. It's a role his brothers are happy to fulfill. They, like their father Nathaniel, feel a sense of responsibility in bringing peace to the departed. Adam, on the other hand, would rather be at school with his friends than upholding a supernatural duty and has trouble even keeping his breakfast down when faced with the prospect of coaxing souls into the light. But the Lumen rules are clear: follow in the family footsteps, or consider yourself no longer a part of the family at all. A page-turning urban fantasy from Hot Key Books.
If you liked Louise O'Neill's Asking For It or Only Ever Yours (two hard-hitting, headline-grabbing titles which tackle tough topics and have female leads), you'll like…
Solace of the Road by Siobhan Dowd
Holly is sick of being in care – of social workers and too-nice foster families, of her nagging school and being stared at – but as far as she knows, she's stuck there. Until she finds the wig. Long, flowing blonde locks transform her, and Holly becomes Solace: a girl so mouthy, daring and fearless she'll run away from care and hitch-hike her way back to Ireland, where she hopes her mother will be.
Siobhan Dowd's novels remain striking and sharp long after you've read them. Holly is an unreliable narrator, refusing to acknowledge the false hopes she's woven into her memories of her mother and her life before social services stepped in, but her story is her own. A Swift Pure Cry is probably closer to O'Neill's stark examination of social and cultural conditions which litter Ireland's recent history, but it's also one of Dowd's more famous books, and while Solace is gut-wrenching and gritty, it's perhaps a little more accessible.
If you liked Moïra Fowley-Doyle's The Accident Season (a spellbinding, shimmering story full of strange magic, evocative prose and characters who keep secrets even from themselves – I've also reviewed this one and already want to know more about Fowley-Doyle's next book), you'll like…
The New Policeman by Kate Thompson
Who knows where the time goes? There never seems to be enough time in Kinvara, or anywhere else in Ireland for that matter. When J.J.'s mother says that what she really wants for her birthday is more time, he decides to find her some. But where to look for more time in a world which seems to have less and less of it to spare? A talented musician with a mystery to solve and a penchant for stumbling into places of ancient magic, J.J. soon finds himself tangled up in a tale as old as time – in a place where time stands still.
A welcome exception to the usual so-bleak-you'll-need-ice-cream-and-a-Netflix-binge-to-recover rule. The New Policeman (which isn't really about a policeman) is a gorgeous, intricate piece of storytelling. It embraces lore and magic with generosity and wit. It's interspersed with traditional music and it's one of the best depictions of Irish myth and folk tales I've seen in young adult fiction. This book's mischievous trickster god Aengus is probably my definitive Aengus, to be honest, and Thompson's portrayal of The Dagda (he's like, the boss god of Irish mythology's godly cohort, the Tuatha Dé Danann) is pretty spot on, too. There are two compelling sequels: The Last of the High Kings and The White Horse Trick. One of my favourite books on this list.
If you liked Needlework by Deirdre Sullivan (a searingly written, visceral take on a tough subject narrated by sharp-tongued, angry teenager Ces, who longs to be a tattoo artist), you'll like…
Flick by Geraldine Meade
A fast-paced contemporary which focuses on a teenager who, like her friends, is caught up in school, family, and boys – except not boys, because protagonist Felicity, known as Flick, likes girls. It's not quite as dark as Needlework (which, while a well-told relatively short read, definitely warrants a trigger warning) but it has the same boundary-pushing intent. Fans of Emma Donoghue and David Levithan may find this book is up their alley. It's been a while since I read this one, but on a sparsely-populated shelf, this exploration of identity and sexuality is a title worth noting.
If you liked One by Sarah Crossan (a heartbreaking, bittersweet, award-laden verse novel about sisterhood, friendship and loss from one of the most elegant voices in YA verse fiction), you'll like…
Illuminate by Kerrie O'Brien
While not strictly YA, this collection from one of the most lauded young poets on Ireland's contemporary poetry scene echoes some of the themes of loss, grief, love, separation and self-expression found in One. It's more abstract and intransigent than plot-focused books like The Weight of Water or her more recent collaboration We Come Apart, and embraces more traditional forms than Amanda Lovelace's The Princess Saves Herself In This One. Written in spare, sometimes haunting verse, if you're looking to expand your poetic repertoire beyond teen fiction or assigned reading lists, Illuminate may be the book for you. And besides, look at that cover! SO PRETTY.
And there you have it: your guide to exploring more Irish YA (and MG, and poetry). Have you read any of the books on the list? Have you added any to your TBR?

Space-Time Associates has released an update for Brickles Pro, bringing it to version 1.0.2. Brickles Pro is a ball and paddle styled game. The update fixes a cursor bug issue for improved play. According to Space-Time Associates:
Ken Winograd and Space-Time Associates are very excited to announce today the release of Brickles Pro, the Classic Ball and Paddle Game for Macintosh...the successor to Brickles3000.
Brickles Pro is not your typical ball and paddle game. Brickles Pro features adjustable colors and patterns, adjustable ball and paddle sizes, stereo sounds, adjustable speed and window sizes, and more. Even the number of paddles in the game can be changed.
Whatis New: Brickles Pro v1.0.2 adds a small but important fix. In past versions of Brickles Pro, when running in OS X, if the invisible cursor moved into the useris Dock area, the cursor would become visible and stay visible while the game was in progress, which could be a little disconcerting. Now, the cursor becomes invisible again when moved back into the Brickles window.
You can find more information about the Brickles Pro update at the Space-Time Associates Web site. Brickles Pro 1.0.2 is free for registered users, while the full version is available for US$25.00.

Question for the 49ers management wizards who constructed this 1-7 team and are currently trying to figure out what to do/who to blame next:
If you eventually decide that Chip Kelly isn't your guy and set him up to be fired (or try to push him into quitting) by early-January, who in the world are you hiring next?
Maybe Jim Tomsula, part III?
That is the essential sticking point here, which Jed York so often seems to forget: Once you start down a bad
road, the more panicky you get, the more you make moves just impulsively to seem like you're fixing everything, the worse it gets.
They fired Jim Harbaugh despite his success just to spite him, convinced themselves Tomsula was the answer, had to fire him after only one year, and now it's possible they're lining up Kelly for a second straight one-and-done tenure.
That is not how good or even mediocre teams do this, but I guess sometimes the Yorks don't understand these things at all.
The 49ers have gotten themselves into this deep mess by churning through so many coaches so often and slapping together such a lousy roster that even if it's clear that Kelly isn't going to turn it around… they almost certainly wouldn't be able to attract a better candidate to replace him if they fire him in December or January.
Unless they fire Trent Baalke first (in which case they would probably keep Kelly, anyway).
Then hire a good GM. (Who might not get along with Kelly.)
Which all would cost money and could unsettle the Yorks, who don't like to hire powerful outsiders who might tell them how badly they've screwed up everything.
Then that new GM would have to be empowered to hire a good coach, which also would cost a lot of money and that guy might also unnerve the Yorks and now we're talking about multiples of things that the Yorks have tried to avoid for more than a decade.
See the problem here?
I'm explaining all this because I think the stage is now set for a classic 49ers internal battle–at 1-7, Baalke's supporters will do anything to make sure the blame isn't directed at him and maybe Kelly starts doing some of that himself.
So Baalke's guys will naturally point it at Kelly and Kelly's guys might point at Baalke, and I think Jed York is conditioned to agree with Baalke, who has survived many losses and many purges before.
I don't know if Baalke survives this one, too, but the entire football operation is his creation, so just about everybody Jed runs into will be lining up behind Baalke.
The likeliest path for Baalke to save his job is to convince Jed that this roster is full of talent and it's being wasted by Kelly and that Baalke can hire a great coach that will get the 49ers right back in the playoff hunt.
I question every bit of that, but never discount the Yorks' ability to hear only what they want to hear, to embrace the easiest path (for them), and to feel compelled to trust their secretive GM.
–OK, let's preface all further analysis by noting that Kelly certainly hasn't done much to solidify his hold on this job and that it may be true that his best spot is in college, not the NFL, which any solid management group might eventually conclude, whether it's in a few weeks or a few seasons.
(Psst, we'll circle back to this one when the 49ers put together a solid management group.)
–Let's also note that Kelly has very little talent to work with at the moment… and almost certainly knew that when he took this job–questions at quarterback, questions at WR, questions at linebacker, questions almost everywhere, habitual political intrigue inside team HQ, usually initiated by the owner and GM.
–Oh, and let's remember that part of the reason Kelly's staff is so weak is that good candidates shied away from this volatile situation. For good reason.
–This wasn't a great job when Tomsula took it, or when he was fired, or when Kelly took it (or when Hue Jackson exited the negotiations), and it won't get more attractive for a new coach after Kelly departs.
–If the 49ers pull the plug again after only one season, that would almost certainly make it even worse. What assistants are going to want to join the next 49ers staff knowing that the last two staffs were blown out after only one year?
But again, the strong pattern is for Baalke to line up against Kelly at some point, and for Baalke to have an inherent advantage.
We can tell the knives are out when the 49ers media surrogates start opining about big changes, and yesterday radio voice Ted Robinson (usually a Jed Cipher) went on KNBR and pretty directly criticized the 49ers coaching staff.
Paraphrase of what I heard Robinson say: The roster isn't worse than last year under Tomsula, but the results are worse, so it's time to ask why.
Robinson specifically questioned why Jaquiski Tartt–a Baalke favorite–isn't playing more, and that sounds like a specific Trent/Jed talking point.
So… I think this is headed towards Baalke walking through 49ers HQ wondering if he should fire Kelly and then go after somebody like Tom Coughlin or Mike Shanahan in 2017.
I think both guys were great NFL coaches; I think there's a reason both are out now.
Or to put it another way: Would you want to hire any coach whose standards are so low that he would be interested in coming to work for Baalke and York's 49ers?
I include Kelly in this, by the way. There was a reason no other NFL team talked to him last offseason and he isn't exactly reinventing football so far this season.
But he was the best the 49ers could do back then.
He still probably is the best they can do, unless they fire Baalke first, and that, as you all know, is all up to Jed, who has done anything possible to avoid doing that for years now.

Reporting from Little Rock, Ark., and Memphis — Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad insists he is an Islamic radical, has confessed to killing an Army soldier and wounding another at a Little Rock recruiting station two years ago, and wants to be tried on terrorism charges in federal court.
But in an unusual twist, state prosecutors, with the blessing of the federal government, are treating him like a common American criminal and trying him in state court next week on capital murder charges.
Either way, Muhammad could become the first person sentenced to death in the U.S. for an act of terrorism — even if that is not the charge — since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Muhammad, 24, born Carlos Bledsoe in Memphis, Tenn., has a profile that is now familiar in home-grown terrorism cases. He converted to Islam at age 20 at a Tennessee mosque, changed his name and traveled to the Middle East.

2 Peter 1 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
1 Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith equal in value to ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 because his divine power has bestowed on us all things that are necessary for life and godliness, through the knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence of character, 4 through which things he has bestowed on us his precious and very great promises, so that through these you may become sharers of the divine nature after[a] escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire, 5 and for this same reason, and by[b] applying all diligence, supply with your faith excellence of character, and with excellence of character, knowledge, 6 and with knowledge, self-control, and with self-control, patient endurance, and with patient endurance, godliness, 7 and with godliness, brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love.
Make Your Calling and Election Secure
8 For if[c] these things are yours and are increasing, this does not make you useless or unproductive in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For the one for whom these things are not present is blind, being nearsighted, having forgotten the cleansing[d] of his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers, be zealous even more to make your calling and election secure, because if you[e] do these things, you will never ever stumble. 11 For in this way entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied for you.
12 Therefore I intend to remind you continually concerning these things, although you know them and are established in the truth that you have. 13 But I consider it right, for as long as I am in this habitation, to stir you up by a reminder, 14 because I[f] know that the removal of my habitation is imminent, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15 And I will also make every effort that you are able at any time, after my departure, to recall these things to mind[g].
The Reliable Prophetic Word of Testimony
16 For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by[h] following ingeniously concocted myths, but by[i] being eyewitnesses of that one's majesty. 17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when[j] a voice such as this was brought to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." 18 And we ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we[k] were with him on the holy mountain, 19 and we possess as more reliable the prophetic word, to which you do well if you[l] pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 recognizing this above all, that every prophecy of scripture does not come about from one's own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

text: I have a Droid 2 Global, updated to gingerbread. It seems as though ever since the update my phone has been acting up. For some reason whenever my boyfriend leaves the area or town around his house, I cannot receive his texts. At first I thought it was his phone but everyone else he sends to receives his texts just fine. It's really frustrating seeing as though he does not stay home all day, so I barely ever receive his texts! I downloaded the gingerbread ghostly messages app hoping it would work, but no luck. Anything else I could do?

Manoa town
|Oahu, HI
Print Leave a comment
Manoa town is one of my favorite places on earth! It's just a humble (though very expensive) little town but there's a wonderful feeling to it! It is tucked back in a valley surrounded by majestic, deep green mountains. Every afternoon it rains HARD for about a minute. The sun keeps on shining, creating a huge arched perfect rainbow. Then the rain stops just as suddenly as it came. Because of the rain the air is always fresh and new, and everything is green. Most places are green because there is drizzling rain all day long, but in Manoa the green is created in a very efficient and convenient way!
Manoa town is mostly populated by older Chinese residents. You will also see UH grad students, but the younger UH students stick to the congested areas around King Street.
If you're lucky enough to ever live in Manoa town you are blessed!
There aren't too many stores. There's a Safeway, a Starbucks, a Longs Drugs with a gorgeous mountain view, and Red Ginger Cafe (which I've unfortunately never tried) at Manoa Marketplace, the main shopping center.
There's a pretty creek that runs beside the McDonald's. It's a nice spot to take a walk.
A drive around Manoa will take you past old established neighborhoods with beautiful homes and gardens. Woodlawn Dr, Alani Dr and Paty Dr are good streets for a stroll. Drive up University Avenue and along East Manoa Rd, Oahu Avenue, and Manoa Rd to see truly stunning views of Manoa's mountain ridges, lush greenery, and homes you wish you owned! Many of the homes are historic Victorian and craftsman homes built in the 1920s and 30s. They have lovely bay windows, large eaves and balconies, and big shade trees in their yards. Walk along Beckwith St, McKinley St, and Lanihuli Dr for some good ones.
Just outside Manoa in Makiki, there are some very nice stores: Star Market, on King St just west of University Ave where King St splits, has a garden section that is so lovely it's like an outing in itself. There is also a peaceful banyan tree outside with a bench, a nice place to sit and enjoy a healthy snack from Down To Earth, which is across the street. Down To Earth Natural Foods has every kind of organic item you would need. Kokua Market on King St is a clean, easy-to-navigate natural grocery store. See addresses below.
There are two delightful parks with playgrounds in Manoa: the mystical feeling University Avenue Park and Manoa Valley Park, which is incredibly lush with gorgeous mountain views. Have a long wonderful walk around the campus of University of Hawaii Manoa and enjoy the old regal trees and the historical architecture. There you will find peaceful Japanese gardens. You could also take a muddy slippery hike to the stunning Manoa Falls. For a walk in the jungle, head over to Lyon Arboretum.

From the H1 Freeway, exit at University Ave and head north toward the mountains. Continue along University Ave, uphill then downhill. Turn right on E. Manoa Rd. Manoa Marketplace will be on your right.
These stores are nearby in Makiki:

text: Imagine if you will a world where social networking sites feature squeaky clean teens that seem to come straight from the Disney Channel's hit TV movie High School Musical, communicating about topics like skateboarding, football, fashion and respect for individual expression with none of those nasty sexual references, provocative photos, illegal music downloads or risk of pedophile infiltration - can't you almost hear the collective sigh of relief from parents across America? Well such a world exists my friends and all teens have to do to become a "hubster" is allow themselves to be barraged by WalMart marketing messages AND agree to provide their parents email address for permission to join. Hear the deafening silence? In a strange, and no doubt expensive, effort to steal market share from Target, WalMart has created it's own social networking site called The Hub. AdAge quotes baffled teens and youth marketers in response to the new tactic, but the most insightful commentary (in our opinion) comes at the end of the article where youth marketing expert Irma Zandl of The Zandl Group cites increasing feedback from teen girls as to why they don't shop at WalMart, which include "lack of cleanliness, messy layout and lack of stylish attire." Note that nowhere is listed "lack of social networking site." We're certain Ms. Zandl isn't the only person privy to this information and we would imagine that WalMart has invested in numerous surveys and focus groups to learn what teens want. So why if the problem is the store environment and merchandise is the answer a decidedly un-hip social networking site that seems more geared to ten-year-old girls who buy into the Disney Channel's portrayal of teens? (Perhaps teens aren't the real target market here - although their video contest to create the next WalMart commercial only accepts entries from kids ages 13-18.) Seems like it would be a whole lot easier, and perhaps less expensive, to address teen girls' real issues with the brand, which brings us to our point. When girls, or women of any age, give you concrete feedback on how you can change your product or service to better serve their needs, they're handing you a roadmap to increasing your share of their business. That's not the time to go offroad with a quirky marketing campaign, relevant or not.

My Logo Branding is Fine, is it Mine?
My Logo Branding is Fine, is it Mine? Hey what is authenticity ? It is being true to one's own personality, spirit, or character despite external pressures. Why do we keep using the same old clipart images time after time? It's easy ! It's quick ! It's inexpensive ! I have been in the design world for three decades, yes that's a long time for sure. I can promise you that the above three reason people use clipart can also be delivered by a professional graphic designer like myself. The return on investment makes the difference. Can you quantify the value of your design using clipart and one that was actually created using a professional designer with research and brainstorming as part of the final marketing message? I believe it is easy to spot a flyer or design that is clipart. I believe it also carry's with it the impression of the company as well as it's promise and ability to deliver goods or services. It's what our brains think when we see a "homemade" flyer or logo made by "my brother's friend, who dabbles in this kind of stuff". Everybody knows I am passionate about logo design. I feel strongly that a logo design and a marketing message should be unique, possess personality, and harbor a clear message. It is imperative to take time to think fully about your company and the image you want to portray in the marketplace. I think that sometimes it may be just a decision to save a little money here or there. Honestly, there are many graphic designers with excellent skills that are very cost effective. If you create a relationship with one, I guarantee it will be a WIN...read more

A Graphic Designer is a Great Investment!
Why you should invest in a Graphic Designer for your business? The creativity… I became a designer because I love the challenge of creating for someone. It's hard to make everyone happy but because I do it daily, and I strive each day to better at it, this becomes "experience". I do it as my livelihood so therefore if I am not getting better than I will not stay in this job. The creativity, honestly, I was born with but because I work hard each day, I have honed this skill to an art form. The delivery… all files from black and white logo to full color. I have actually had business owners come to me with one file that was professionally created as their logo. A JPEG file, no less….what a joke. It's important to invest in a professional logo design because you will need many file types for your business. Graphic Designer's know this and should deliver all the file types you need in both Black and White as well as full color logo. This alone pays for itself in the long run, I promise! The Research… Designer's need to get to know you and know your market and competitors. They MUST ask the right questions and do due diligence on researching the competition. I spend atleast 30 – 60 minutes getting to know my clients and their vision…what they want to convey into the marketplace. I really understand what they do before I sketch one image on paper. The real deal….the design! Designers know fonts! Does your font reflect the right personality? Fonts come in all shapes and sizes that resonate quite differently. For example strong...read more

News Release
January 13, 2016
POSSIBLE DISCOVERY OF BIOMARKER FOR ASBESTOS EXPOSURE AND MESOTHELIOMAThe discovery by UH Cancer Center researchers may provide the first biomarker to detect people exposed to asbestos and those who may have developed mesothelioma
HONOLULU – University of Hawai'i Cancer Center researchers may have discovered the first biomarker of asbestos exposure, precisely that the serum levels of a protein called HMGB1 are increased among asbestos workers compared to people who have not been exposed to asbestos. Moreover, they discovered that a specific form of the HMGB1 protein identifies those who have developed mesothelioma.
The discovery published in Clinical Cancer Research is relevant to the several million people in the US and many more worldwide that may have been exposed to asbestos, according to the researchers.
People exposed to asbestos are at high risk of developing mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining that covers the lungs and abdomen.
"HMGB1 serum levels were high among workers who had been heavily exposed to asbestos and, by testing for HMGB1 acetylation we were able to identify those who had mesothelioma," said Haining Yang, M.D., Ph.D. associate professor in the UH Thoracic Oncology Program.
"This is a significant finding because it may help identify people exposed to asbestos that are at risk of mesothelioma and they may be monitored for early detection that is associated with better responses to therapy," said Michele Carbone, MD, PhD, director of the UH Cancer Center's Thoracic Oncology Program.
Before offering this test the researchers plan to validate the results in a larger study. They aim to open a clinical trial to validate these findings later in 2016. The trial is expected to take up to 4 years to complete.
"If the results are validated in a clinical trial we will have a very powerful test for screening for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma," said Dr. Yang.

When this year started, I was really depressed. I was hearing rumors from a quasi-reliable source that I had lost a lawsuit by default... No papers had been served to me, but some were apparently served to someone living at my previous address. I'm not even sure what the point of the lawsuit was. I didn't do anything. Of course, this is America, land of the free ride and home of the frivolous lawsuit.
I probably rebuffed the wrong person online.
Anyway, so that really bummed me out. And worked well with the fact that I was laid off on December 31 from a job where I had been for eight years.
So, to sum up 2008:
- I was in pain for the entire year
- I had to battle misogynistic radicals in the workplace and nearly lost my job
- I lost my job anyway
- I lost a lawsuit I didn't know about and still have no details on
- My hamster died
- I lost my home
- My father made a list of blogs he reads on his blog, and mine isn't included
- I found out that my bank account somehow has someone else's name on it
- I found out that I'm apparently no qualified to do the job I've been doing for eight years
- Two of my favorite podcasts were canceled
- I finally saw the Stargate SG1 movie, which closed out the TV series, and the ending was totally anticlimactic
- Everyone except for one person (my BFF Luann) forgot my birthday!
Even the people I had reminded the day before
- Did I mention that the entire time all this was happening, I was in pain?
First, we have a new president. I got that wish... Barack Obama. It's great, because he's black. Now, wait, he's white, but looks black. I mean... he's mixed. But looks black, and is a Muslim. No, wait, he's not Muslim, he's Christian but thinks he's Muslim. No, that's not right. He's Christian, but his father is Muslim, and he's anti-American. Wait, no, his preacher is anti-American. No, his preacher hates America, so he left the church, and is now a Muslim, and wasn't born in the US. No, wait, he was born near the US, but not quite here. No, he was born in Hawaii, which isn't part of the US. Wait...
Confused yet? This is the right-wing, Christian-controlled political extremist way to try to confuse people. Not that I totally agree with the left-wing, but come on! Here's the simple truth... He's black, but of mixed heritage (like virtually every other third-or-more-generation American). He was born in the US, but spent some time living elsewhere. (This is actually a good thing.) He is a Christian, but that's not really relevant, because he's going to try to depart from the last eight years by not letting his religion force him to make bad decisions. He left his church, but that might have something to do with the fact that for the next eight years he's going to be living elsewhere. His (former) preacher talked smack about the US government, but not as bad as some other consipiracy theorists, and only like tree times in the past ten years. (Note: You can't hold a man responsible for what someone else says. I've always believed this.)
Hopefully, he'll bring in some good changes. I understand he signed some hideous taxes regarding tobacco into law, but I don't use tobacco, so I'm not completely sympathetic. And the taxes will go to providing health care for uninsured children whose families earn too much money to qualify for medicaid. And (and I can't stress this enough), he didn't start this bill rolling. It was passed by both the House and Senate before getting to him.
I also understand he's doing some kind of craziness with bullets, but at least he's not outlawing guns. Just making them completely impractical. I don't know how well that one will work out, since people have been attacking the Right to Bear Arms for decades. That's alright. I guess. I believe in said right, and I'm all for gun owners having the right to use them, but I probably won't get a gun myself. I'm a decent shot with a pistol (about the only advantage of growing up in a Redneck family), but I'm a much better shot with a bow and arrow.
Still, a lot of Bad Things happened over the past eight years, and hopefully the new administration can fix some of them. But most importantly, we finally have a black president. I want to see the reactions of all those white people (you know who you are). And my mother, who is mostly white.
But... 2009 is here. It's a year of change. I know, because I have to find a new job. I'm thinking about changing careers. Mostly because I feel like I was bulldozed into IT, and it's not a perfect match for me. Sure, I could handle it just fine, but it wasn't a real challenge. I mean, when you get to the point where you want a computer to reboot faster, so you use the DOS "copy" command to enter a machine-language program straight from the keyboard in the form of control characters, you might have progressed to the point where you need to move onto something else. (Note: this was 14 years ago)
Also, I had to move out of the house I've been living in on and off for most of the past seven years. There just wasn't enough room, with the children getting older. So not only am I living in a different house (waiting for my RV to become available), but I'm actually living in a different city. I'm still within a reasonable commute distance of Houston, but I'm no longer living in Houston. That has been a goal of mine for a long time.
Another thing I've noticed is that with not working at the job where I've been forever and not living with the friends I've had forever, I've become more relaxed about being who I really am. I've mentioned before, I think, that I had a weird personality change a couple of years ago, and that Luann encouraged me to be myself. But now that I'm no longer surrounded by people pressuring me to be who they want me to be, I've really noticed changes. For the better, really.
It's weird, how someone my age can be so influenced by her peers.
Anyway... At the beginning of January, I was depressed. Very. I was feeling hopeless and couldn't imagine how I was going to survive the month, much less the year. But I made it. I got by, with a little help from my friends. The people who helped me get by the past month are:
- Katy, who offered me a place to live while I search for a job
- Luann, who shows me love and support
- Buddy, whose love is both unconditional and unambiguous
- Ciggy, my cousin, who taught me that if life gives you lemons, you dig out the seeds, plant them, and when the trees are big enough you can pick more lemons and sell them and use the money to buy apples or something (I hate lemonade)
- Annie, who taught me that hugs can make anything better
- Jean, who is caring for my animal friends until I can provide them a home
- Ted, my cute personal trainer, who taught me that with a positive attitude you can do anything
Overall, it's been an eventful year. And I've given up on hoping that it will be a better year than last year, because, as it turns out, that just doesn't work.
Instead, I'm going to make this year a better year than last year. And I promise to write in my blog more often. I don't promise to write every day, but I do promise to try. And I'll try to make future entries more positive than this one. I'm actually feeling a lot more positive than I had been at the beginning of the year, and I want this blog to be a place where people can go to feel positive energy.
So, until next time, don't lose hope, don't try to victimize others, and, above all, be yourself.

Lt. Col. Avi Yitzhak, head of the Combat Medical Branch, is the first Ethiopian Israeli to graduate the army's prestigious course for brigade commanders • "The sky is the limit. In my community, people need to understand this," Yitzhak tells Israel Hayom.

Lt. Col. Avi Yitzhak has become the first Ethiopian Israeli to graduate the Israel Defense Forces' prestigious course for brigade commanders, which ended last week. Yitzhak is a doctor who heads the Combat Medical Branch in the Medical Corps.
Yitzhak will soon vie for a promotion to full colonel, making him the first Ethiopian in IDF history to earn such a rank.
After immigrating to Israel in 1991 at the age of 19 and studying Hebrew for a year at an absorption center, Yitzhak began his path in the IDF in the Medical Corps. He became the first Ethiopian Israeli to serve as a combat doctor, with both the Paratrooper Brigade and the elite Maglan unit. He later gained expertise as a surgeon. Yitzhak was also chief medical officer for the Gaza Division during Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, during which he saved the life of a lieutenant colonel in the reserves who had been hit in the chest by shrapnel from a mortar round.
"I always felt the responsibility of representing the Ethiopian community," Yitzhak told Israel Hayom. "I was the first student from the community to study medicine in Israel and I believe, ultimately, that everything is dependent on the individual and the sky is the limit. In my community, people need to understand this."
Among the other course graduates were Paratrooper Brigade deputy commander Lt. Col. Kobi Weller, who is slated to assume command of the brigade, and Lt. Col. Avi Rahamim, who commanded the Sagi Territorial Brigade.

It was brought up as a question in my household today. How much electricity does your computer(s) take up? My answer was a somewhat uncertain, "ummm…not much…"
As usual Google beaconed and I happened onto this wonderful website that explains just how much power your computer is taking up at it's various stages of operation. The author of the website explains in painstaking detail the different measurements with statements like:
"Add another 80 watts for a 17″ CRT monitor, or 35 for an LCD monitor. Don't forget related devices. My cable modem uses 7 watts, my D-Link DI-604 router uses 4.5 watts, and my Motorola phone box for use with Vonage uses 2 watts while idle (3 when I'm on the phone)" -Click for link to site
This website does not tell you how much your pc is using, but it talks in averages and gives you a good idea. I am usually pretty good at turning my PC off during the day when I am out and at night when I am asleep. I had never thought of my Thinkpad causing much of a power drain, but as it has the same general components and a Pentium 4 2Ghz processor, maybe it does.
I went ahead and changed my power settings on both PC's. If you are not sure how to do this go to your control panel on a Windows machine and select "Power Options." While I have been sitting here, I heard the HDD power down in my Thinkpad and a few minutes later, the screen went down. The new power management is in effect.
The website that I found has other questions that are addressed about laptops, people talking business with multiple computers and even dispels a few myths. The old "Turning my PC on takes more energy than leaving it on" is gone.
Tell someone about PC power management, turn it off when you're not using it and let's save some energy.


text: My twin girls turn three next week and I am busy planning an Alice in Wonderland party....hence the lack of blogging. I haven't had chance to look at all the blogs I follow for weeks either. Am missing the inspiration! I've been researching for a while and there are so many amazing party planners out there. Plus I purchased 'Everything Alice' by Hannah Read-Baldrey & Christine Leech. http://everythingalice.co.uk/ It is brilliant for a Mad Hatters Tea Party, but also gives you great ideas and techniques that you can adapt for any theme. So have a have a sneak peak at the party crafts so far. Firstly, there is a take on the 'Everything Alice' shadow theatre, which i've combined with a book papercraft and then secondly are signs and cake hat boxes, which will be the party bag to take home. Its been a real family affair with my mum, sister and niece all helping.....as well as the kids!

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — A Frederick, Md., man who was wounded in a Club Twisted shooting in November said he believes he was shot nine times, according to Berkeley County Sheriff's Deputy Michael St. Clair, who investigated the case.
St. Clair said Thursday he had not reviewed the medical records of Kevin R. Mullen, whom police allege was targeted by Leon William Racks, 29, and Joseph Wayne Mason, 27, both of Hagerstown.
Racks and Mason each are charged with malicious wounding, and the felony cases pending against them were bound over to Berkeley County Circuit Court on Thursday for presentation to a grand jury.
Berkeley County Magistrate Jim Humphrey found probable cause in Racks' case after hearing testimony on evidence that St. Clair compiled in his investigation of the Nov. 26 shooting at 5268 Williamsport Pike.
Mason, meanwhile, waived his right to a preliminary hearing in magistrate court Thursday.
Both defendants remain incarcerated in Eastern Regional Jail, according to jail records.

Eating Habits of the Chronically Lonesome by Megan Gail Coles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a wonderful collection of short stories. They will move you to laughter and some will move you to tears, at least that was the case for me. I found myself smiling as I read them because being from Newfoundland myself I could hear the voices of these characters so perfectly in my head.
Not all center around Newfoundland or those from there we do have the Russian family recently moved to Canada, a story that made my eyes fill I will admit; But the major them do involve Newfoundland in some form. I noticed that some stories even had connecting characters which is something I found to be neat.
I laughed, I cried, I glared, I smiled. I'm happy I read it.

HAGERSTOWN - The Western Maryland Blues Fest started 12 years ago with one stage, four bands and a $35,000 budget, said Julie Donat, Blues Fest co-chairwoman.
Since then, the annual festival has more than quadrupled in size, she said. Eighteen bands will have performed on two stages when the four-day event ends today.
On Saturday night, festival headliner Joe Bonamassa brought the crowd to its feet.
His fans agreed that Bonamassa is the best guitarist, and certainly the best blues guitarist, in the world.
"He's only 30 years old, but he plays like he's played for 60 years," said Bill Murdaugh of Mercersburg, Pa.
Murdaugh attends the Blues Fest every year, he said.
He loves the blues - the beat, the sound and the people, Murdaugh said.
"The people of the Blues Fest make you feel at home," he said. "Tell them never to stop the blues in Hagerstown."

THE SIMPSONS' Yeardley Smith to Guest Star in ABC's REVENGE Season 4
As first reported on TVLine, Yeardley Smith, who voices 'Lisa' on The Simpsons, will appear in a guest-starring role in the fourth season of ABC's REVENGE.
She will play 'Phyllis', "a fellow patient at the mental institution where Victoria was admitted...in the Season 3 finale".
Elena Satine (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) is another new addition to Season 4, set to play the "black sheep daughter of a wealthy southern family".
The fourth season of REVENGE debuts on ABC on September 28.
Among Yeardley's other TV credits are Dharma & Greg, The Big Bang Theory, Herman's Head, The Tracy Ullman Show, and Brothers, as well as voice work on Family Guy, Hot in Cleveland and more.
Smith starred on Broadway in 1984's The Real Thing, as well as 2011's benefit reading of Dustin Lance Black's '8'. She also appeared off-Broadway in Love, Loss, and What I Wore and her 2004 solo show, Yeardley Smith: More.
About REVENGE: This is not a story about forgiveness; Revenge is a show about retribution. Meet Emily Thorne, the newest resident of The Hamptons. When she was a little girl (and known as Amanda Clarke) her father, David Clarke, was framed for a horrific crime and subsequently sent to prison. While serving his time, the conspirators plotted and murdered David in order to prevent the truth from coming out. Emily is now back with a new identity and ready to take vengeance on the people that murdered her father and stole her childhood.

The European Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS) said on Friday that the same Microsoft illegal practices they complained about three years ago remain in Vista. In addition, the ECIS stated that Microsoft has not fulfilled is interoperability disclosure obligations under the European Commissionis March 2004 Decision.
"With Vista, Microsoft has clearly chosen to ignore the fundamental principles of the Commission?s March 2004 decision," said Simon Awde, ECIS Chairman.
The statement pointed out that Microsoft has created and positioned the XAML markup language, intended to replace HTML, to be dependent on Windows. It also cited Microsoft for the development of the Open XML file format with which Microsoft seeks to supplant the Open Document Format (ODF).
The ECIS, according to their statement, asked Europeis antitrust authority to "put an end to practices that preserve Microsoft?s existing monopolies and threaten to extend its market dominance into a range of other areas, including Web-based computing and servers."
The ECIS is an international non-profit association that strives to promote competition and consumer choice. The major members include Adobe, Corel, Linspire, Nokia, Opera, Oracle, RealNetworks, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems.

Although substantial remains of Pindar's poetry have been preserved, little is known about his life. According to ancient sources he was born in Cynoscephalae, a village near Thebes, the major city in Boeotia. He is supposed to have had two daughters and one son, and received his early training in Athens. Many other details of his life can be found in the ancient biographical tradition, but this tradition is notoriously untrustworthy, not only for Pindar but also for other early poets. That Pindar considered himself a Theban is however beyond doubt. The year of his birth is known and it is unlikely that he lived much beyond 446, the last date that can be assigned to any of his poetry.
In the latter part of the 3rd …

Hi Vidya Ji,
Really a very informative article.
yes, I completely agree with your point that Disability insurance is at the bottom of the list. Disability insurance is really very important to have and we should understand that we can not compare this with health insurance.
Nobody knows what future resides for us and we should be well prepared for that.
A very Nice article. Thanks for sharing it

K5 Blazer V1
A rebuild of the K5 blazer. New rims, fixed sound, lights, and some other stuff. To change body color, go into the zip and from there, textures>body.dds, and to change the trim color (grille, bumpers, trim pieces) go into textures>trim.dds
It has some log errors but they're pretty minor. No animations on the interior unfortunately, maybe later.

The excitement...the anticipation. I have been waiting for the day my tree blooms. I have been waiting for the time change. I have been waiting for a inkling of hope of more sunlight each day.
The time has been too long for the absence of color, the absence of sunshine, the absence of flowers, the absence of...
Okay, it call be ALL good, can it?
