I have now been in Dubai for four days, since June 2nd. I am here visiting my father, little brother, and step mother and their hospitality and generosity has made the beginning of my stay here absolutely enjoyable.
On my first day here, I arrived at 10:30pm local time due to a flight delay from Houston. Texas, my home state, was and continues to be inudated for the second straight year by record flooding. Nevertheless, I could not fail to be awed by the massive size and scope of the Dubai airport. The airport was easily one of the largest structures I have ever been in, with massive vaulted roofs, pillars, and an enormous indoor waterfall as the centerpiece.
My second day, my father, little brother, and I went to the Emirates Golf Club, a world renouned course in the heart of Dubai. After playing a rough 18 holes with my father and his mates, we had dinner at the Club. I am a massive foodie, and the Italian-inspired seafood dish I ordered was divine.
On my third day in Dubai, I woke early with the family and accompanied my father to his office. His office lies in the center of the free zone, requiring us to cross what amounts to an international border to enter. Within this zone is the largest industrial sprawl I have ever seen; factories, shipping yards, offices, contruction everywhere. After working on an article that I will be submitting to the EPIK Young Leaders Conference paper competition in Soeul, My father and I, accompanied by three of his office workers, went to lunch at a small local Indian food restaurant that caters to the local workers. For 100 durams (roughly $30 USD) The five of us ate a massive meal, the quality of which was the finest I had ever tried. After heading home, we went to dinner in the Pier 7 district overlooking the Dubai Marina. Although our meal left a bit to be desired, the drinks and dessert did not disappoint.
My fourth day in Dubai was one of relaxation and family time. After spending the morning at the house reading a good suspence novel in the Girl With a Dragon Tattoo series, my father and I went to my Aunt and Uncle's house to play tennis. My little brother and our cousin joined us shortly after, and we played a spirited and entertaining game that resulted in a 3-3 tie. We had to retire to the pool to cool down from the 110+ degree weather. Shortly after, my uncle arrived, and we had a great time exchanging our favorite rap and hip hop artists. Afterward, my dad challenged me to a game of tennis, which I am happy to say I won 6-2. Another great day in the books, we retired to the house for a home cooked meal of prawn curry.
In my short stay in Dubai, a number of general observations have popped into my mind. First is the similarity between migrant labor in Dubai and my home of Austin, TX. Migrant laborers are heavily relied on in Dubai for contruction and landscape work. These laborers come from many different Middle Eastern countries, as well as India, Bangladesh, and elswhere. Similarly, hispanic migrant laborers are heavily relied upon in Austin to provide construction and landscaping work.
Another general observation of mine is the internationalization of Dubai. The absolute diversity of the population is astounding; even in a small office my father's employees are from five different nationalities. Therefore, the demographics of Dubai are particularly interesting, with a massive ex-pat population and a relative small local population. This leads to an interesting exchange of culture, one certainly dominated by the local Muslim culture but heavily influenced by outsiders.

Yesterday the new Coldplay album 'Ghost Stories' was released. During the years, the band reached big successes and scored hit after hit. One of the factors behind the success of Coldplay are the strong lyrics. The lyrics of the latest album formed the key element of the promotional action Coldplay organized, helped by Twitter. The band communicated via the social microblog platform that handwritten lyrics by frontman Chris Martin were hidden in 'ghost stories' in libraries all over the world. It started on the 28th of April.
These Tweets resulted in a viral Twitter campaign, using #lyrichunt
Fans immediately went into hyperdrive, praising what a cool idea it was. But this quickly gave way to wondering how they could possibly look through all the world's libraries and whether or not trolls would get to them first. On fan forum Coldplaying.com, Coldplay fan "The Master" wondered: "Does any of you know a way to do this efficiently? I searched for 'ghost' on the website of one of my local libraries and 470 books showed up 😐 I can't go through 500 books, that would take me weeks."
In total nine cities across the world were surprised by hidden lyrics in books; Mexico City, Singapore, Helsinki, Barcelona, Kent, New York, Tauranga, Dublin and Johannesburg. The lyric hunt was completely solved on the 2nd of May.
See here a photo of the handwritten lyrics of the latest single 'Sky Full of Stars'
This promotion campaign, can be categorized as an Alternate Reality Game; often abbreviated as ARG. Which is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas and action. The ARG organised by Coldplay resulted in high interactivity with the players and made the fans excited for the album, an interesting and innovative way of promoting an album.

One Writer's Process: Leslie Bulion
Growing up, Bulion didn't study writing in school or know that one day she would become an award-winning poet and writer. Instead, she studied to become a social worker, and for years she worked in hospitals and schools where she could help children and their families.
But on a visit to East Africa she began keeping a journal of her experiences and took hundreds of photographs. After returning home, she re-read her journal entries and filled five albums with her photos.
It was the words that she found printed on a red-and-yellow kanga cloth in one of her pictures --"don't be fooled by the color, the good flavor of tea comes from the sugar"--that inspired her to write her first book, Fatuma's New Cloth (Moon Mountain Publishing), which went on to win the 2003 Children's Africana Book Award.
Since then she's found that her diverse interests in entomology and the sea offer a rich source of ideas for her work.
Last year her award-winning collection of poems about bugs--Hey There, Stink Bug! (Charlesbridge)--was named to the Children's Pick List by Book Sense, voted one of the best books of 2006 by the Association of Booksellers for Children, and nominated for the 2006 Cybils Award in Poetry.
Her most recent book, Uncharted Waters (Peachtree), a story about a young boy's month at the shore, was named a Bank Street Best Book for 2007, and a new middle-grade novel is due out from Peachtree in 2008.
Bulion was kind enough to take a few moments from her latest work-in-progress to share her thoughts on writing with Wordswimmer.
Wordswimmer: If writing is like swimming...how do you get into the water each day?
Bulion: Some days I dive in, relishing that feeling of breaking through the cool, clear surface and into my story. I'm eager to try ideas I've jotted in a notebook by my bed, or the notes I ran back and jotted at the top of yesterday's work after I'd already finished for the day. I might have a pile of captivating research waiting for me. Some days I wade in more slowly, re-reading the work I've done the day before and revising that before I strike out across the ocean.
Wordswimmer: What keeps you afloat...for short work? For longer work?
Bulion: I write poems, but they're collections with a central theme, so it all feels connected into a longer work. I research each poem as I go, so each day brings a different kind of work and new ideas to explore. When a poem is in a shape I'm mostly comfortable with, I can put that project down for a time and come back to it much more easily than when I have to climb out of a novel and dry off for a spell. I love the feeling of swimming along in a longer story. I'm immersed in a different time and place with this group of characters I grow to love and trust in my life. It's harder for me to find my way back in when I have to interrupt my flow in a novel.
Wordswimmer: How do you keep swimming through dry spells?
Bulion: I mix up what I do so I'm not always trying to do the same sort of thing. There are so many different kinds of projects. When I finish a longer project, I usually go into a reading period and immerse myself in the new crop of books for kids. That's like enjoying a summer rain – not a dry spell at all. If I've been working on a novel, I might start to poke around and do some research for a new collection of poems. Of course, there have been times when I'm not writing at all for one reason or another. I don't worry about it. In the life of a writer, life intervenes. I give myself permission to hike, climb, or pedal instead of swim.
Wordswimmer: What's the hardest part of swimming?
Bulion: The hardest part of swimming can be staying in the water, even if it's freezing or full of jellyfish, rather than getting out to peruse the internet, clip a fingernail, or wash the kitchen floor (and in my house the water must be pretty cold for me to think about getting out to wash the kitchen floor). Conversely, climbing out of the water for a break when I'm not getting anywhere can be a hard decision. Another hard part is realizing I'm swimming north when I should head east. Sometimes I don't see it until I'm pages and pages from the shore. Then I have to make myself swim all the way back, and jump in again. One of the hardest parts of swimming is getting out of the water at the end—saying goodbye to my characters and their lives. I always feel bereft for a time.
Wordswimmer: How do you overcome obstacles, problems, when swimming alone?
Bulion: I don't ever feel as though I'm swimming alone! I have wonderful writing friends who swim with me all the way. They keep me in the water and buoy me.
Wordswimmer: What's the part of swimming that you love the most?
Bulion: I love the way the water changes all around me as I swim. I love the way characters come alive and swim ahead. I love finding an elegant droplet of a word, or a funny, funny droplet to add to my ocean. And I love when readers discover their own currents and tides in my writing.

Great interview, Bruce! I really enjoyed Stink Bug, and I'm intrigued by her new book. Thanks for sharing this!
- Barbara O'Connor said...
Great interview. My favorite part is about how hard it is to stay in the water. Amazing how even that fingernail clipping can seem like more fun than writing. But then, when it's all over - how much more satisfying a book is than a good manicure. :-)
- Bruce said...
Thanks, Eisha. The interviews that you and Jules post over at Seven Imps set a high standard, so I'm grateful for the kind words.... and even more grateful to Leslie for taking the time to share her thoughts.
And, Barbara, thanks for your comment. There are days when, as you and Leslie suggest, almost anything--even cutting one's fingernails--beats staying in the water. But rarely does anything beat a good book... and I guess that's something to remember when we find ourselves with the urge to get out of the water too soon, or at least before we've put our words down for the day.
I like the part about not worrying about a dry spell and giving yourself permission to do something else for a while. Seems like that resting time would lead to another productive period. Thanks for a great interview!
-Jennifer Thermes
- Bruce said...
I like that part, too.
It's often hard to see "resting" as part of the process... especially if you're worried about having something to show for your work. I have to admit that I have a hard time "giving myself permission" to rest.
But I've found that resting often gives a story a chance to deepen and grow and send out roots that you can't see until you return to the page refreshed... and the words start to flow.
Thanks for stopping by.

That's a good interview, Bruce. I didn't know that Leslie had a new book out; I'm putting Uncharted Waters on my library list.
Stinkbug was fun.

"What Is In My Blood?" This quote encapsulates the essence of these poems. The Adoption Papers is a unique and honest volume of poems, that uses three different narrative voices, daughter, adoptive mother, and birth mother. Each part manifests into an internal monologue, highlighting the themes of race, gender, belonging and naturalness. This poetic sequence tells the story of a black girl's adoption by a white Scottish couple; thus this becomes an amalgamation of fiction and reality as the story behind these poems reflects Kay's own life. I think this adds a certain layer of poignancy and depth to each piece, becoming a sort of poetic revelation, the poet laying bear her/his soul to the reader; we, thus, become privy to the internal landscape of the poet's mind. Kay said in an interview, "a poem is a physical thing you make" this quote is reflected in the structure of the poem; each part, each chapter is a representation of an experience that the three characters go through. I feel like it is a dialogue form, this is why i think it is written in free verse, there are some AABB rhythmical structure but it is seldom seen which seems to mimic or is emblematic of the real life conversation or experience one goes through.
The quote mentioned in the opening brings to light the theme of belonging.As Kay tells in her interview and through her poem that "colour matters to the nutters" but the racism that the little girl experiences in the segment Black Bottom, which prompts her to question her sense of naturalness and to ponder over what makes her different. It is not her but the society which is at fault here. She has the poster of Angela Davis on her wall, a strong female who said "we have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society." This is very important towards understanding the character of the daughter who feels that if "I could be as brave as her when I get older/ I'll be OK." The full stop after this sentence highlights the finality of this statement, she knows if she is strong she will able to fight against such overt racism and self-deprecating views that are created by the society around her. She forgets the colour of her skin and looks in the mirror and gives her self "a bit of a shock/ and say to myself Do you really look like this?" When reading this, I felt Kay is being a bit satirical here, she wants to show the society how ridiculous it is to be surprised if a white family has a coloured child. Kay recalls the incident when she went to the market and the saleswoman was shocked to see her the child belonging to the white-coloured mother with her. This looking in the mirror, while satirical, but also a potent motif used throughout Literature, and Kay says in her poem Longitude that
When I look in the mirror
I don't see a foreign face,
no Heart of Darkness
These words highlight how colour should be a determining factor in a person' life, gender, race, or another element is a part of one's being and we should not let anyone tell us that it is not. And if we do well then we let them 'other' us and overpower us. As Kay says
People mistake you
you mistake yourself

Jim Baker, whom I know through +Nicholas Skaggs and Alex Viggio, is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder teaching a class in Programming Languages. The class seems pretty standard, reading assignments, homework, programming projects, papers, etc. However, the innovative thing is how all of that is structured around GitHub.
I've mentioned this over several posts, version control is a missing element in most computer science education. It's necessary to understand its benefits and to be used to the way it affects your coding style. It's dramatically shaped mine, I now try to code in segments so I can commit complete thoughts and I check my code before pushing to the remote server after breaking things for other users. Bad habits are started early and the earlier developers learn to use a version control system the less bad habits they'll acquire.
Students in Jim's class are required to acquire a GitHub account and register their username with the class. The class uses the students Github accounts to create repositories for them and push homework assignments into the student's repositories. It's an innovative way to release homework assignments as it allows the instructor to modify them as questions come in or issues are discovered. It was always annoying when a class website would get updated with a change to an assignment, but you'd only learn 4 days later during the next class session. This style changes the standard class communication structure of the students pinging the course, in this case the website, to the instructor pinging his/her students "pull down the changes to the assignment". It's a valuable lesson to learn, pull from your remote repository often. It's so valuable that +Philip Chase once created a cheat sheet of daily tasks for his developers that had "git pull" as item number 1. It seemed they were incapable of pulling or pushing to the remote repository and eventually their lack of proper process caused some major malfunctions.
Projects are submitted to a standard "import, test, and evaluate" CSE system. We had something very similar at UF to check for cheating. However, in addition to pushing to this system the student must also submit a pull request to the class. Pull requests offer allow for peer review, you can see a diff of your code repository vs the source repository and receive feedback from the upstream developer (in this case the instructor). This process is used in most open source projects and is beginning to gain traction in the corporate world with code review systems like Gerrit. Learning this process adds practical training with their otherwise theoretical class assignments. It's also provides an extra incentive to code well in the form of extra credit. Code that does the tasks better than the instructors or in a more innovative way have their pull requests accepted and recieve extra credit. If a student has tests in their code they can also receive extra credit.
The class has a paper and presentation requirement. The paper has to be written in MarkDown, a standard wiki code. Companies are increasing their use of dynamic documentation with corporate wiki's. It allows the documentation to change on the fly and maintain a revision history without attempting to share a document and intangle yourself with locking and unlocking. Markdown is also just a step away from Latex, which academics use in creating articles. The papers, after being submitted, are required to receive reviews from two classmates. Over the students professional careers they will be required to review and be reviewed when writing documentation. This unique approach to paper submission readies the students for either the academic world or the corporate world.

Dear Lew,
Yes, I remember all about the house and surrounding property, including the barn, old garage for Aunt Maude's buggy, storage house and smoke house and best of all a "double seat out- house"!!!!
This will take awhile for me to describe, but I will be happy to share my precious memories. We were there once each week as long as she lived and yes, I remember Aunt Lelia WELL. She was an excellent cook and always had the best "tea cakes" you've ever tasted. Aunt Maude was a great cook as well. Elaine and I always looked forward to the summers because we enjoyed an entire week at their sweet modest little home. Aunt Lelia planted a huge garden and their fruit trees were bountiful, which she allowed us to participate in preserving everything available. Her peaches, apples, pears and grapes were the best......oh, and the many fig bushes, plus the mouth-watering strawberries! Just for the sake of keeping an oddity, they had two Quince trees across the winding little dirt road. Flowers, for every season, adorned the entire place and especially around the house. The front yard was small and practically in the road with a tiny little mailbox surrounded by petunias. The back yard was well groomed by the hands of Aunt Lelia who meticulously swept it weekly with a broom made of oak limbs.If a sprig of grass were detected, a sharp- blade- hoe took care of it immediately . Now you must remember that the standard attire for all three ladies was long skirts, as well as long underskirts, long sleeves (usually dresses were always made by the same pattern with white collars), long black stockings and black low heel shoes. All clothes, table cloths, napkins, scarves and curtains were heavily starched with Grandmother's homemadeconcoction of ingredients. Spotless was an understatement for the interior as well as exterior.
As for thestructural appearance, it was a unique OLD house built with hard pine wood. Everyone parked in the back yard and the main entrance was the back door. Approaching the door, one 's eyes were captured by the manually dug well on the back porch and conveniently located to do the family laundry (each Monday morning and you have already envisioned the wire clothes line near the house) The house faced north and south and on the east side, there was a large room that extended the length of the house with small high windows. This was Grandmother and Aunt Lelia's room , which actually would accommodate four people. Each bed was neatly covered with white chenille bedspreads. Aunt Maude's room was on the front side of the house joining a small living room, which we referredto as her library. Having taught school for many years, she had accumulated numerous children's books that Elaine and I were allowed to sit quietly and properly to read. When entering the house by rear entrance, after passing the porch, the aroma from the kitchendirected your nose to the next room, which was the dining room and "sitting room" for everyone. The extended dining room table seated six and even eight on occasions. A huge fireplace was located in this room and Grandmother's old leather and oak trimmed chair occupied the corner by the fireplace. Since she could not hear well at all, plus blind in one eye, we each knew our seating arrangement near her, which was a circlein the following order: Mama sat first, Elaine second, Eloise third, Daddy fourth, Aunt Lelia fifth and Aunt Maude sixth unless she was in her room preparing for school. We sat very quietly, listened carefully and knelt at her chair if she were speaking directly. She and Mama were excellent seamstresses and Grandmother wanted to feel and make every effort to examine our clothes. Unlimited respect was shared between her and my Daddy because both were "business-minded and honorable." Aunt Lelia was lots of fun and always gave us tea cakes wrapped in a starched white cloth as we were leaving....
Love to you,

Suzanne Sullivan is a ceramic and textile artist based in South Brooklyn, New York. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where she learned ceramics as a child and was fascinated by Northwest Coast Native American art. "I like the idea of the artist as a kind of design factory, prepared to tackle all kinds of issues, whether they be extraordinary or mundane," she says.
She had been focusing on textiles until a few years ago, where her daughter, a longtime ceramicist, suggested the two of them take a ceramics class together. "I like the things in our every day world that are not mass-produced, things that have fingerprints on them. At home, I collect twigs and sticks and nests, special rocks, pieces of small nothings from the natural world, and a lot of times, my ceramics become vessels for these things."
I personally adore Suzanne's work and having come accross her via Pinterrst I was eager to share her to as many of my readers as possible!! The other great thing is that Suzanne ships worldwide which is brilliant news for us all! Her prices, excluding delivery, are also very reasonable. One of her ceramic spoons is $40 (approx £30)!!
Here are some of the treasures she makes which can be bought directly from www.koromiko.com
Ceramic spoons
White etched bowls
Speckled bowls
& here are some other beauties which are on Suzanne's Instagram page @suzannesullivanceramics where you can contact her directly for further information.

Spring Creations by Gail Morrison, Jeff Morrow & Cindy Nixon
Spring Creations by Gail Morrison, Jeff Morrow & Cindy Nixon
Eisele Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its upcoming exhibition Spring Creations, featuring new work by Gail Morrison, Jeff Morrow and Cindy Nixon. Focusing on traditional landscapes, portraits and still life paintings, these three established artists navigate different themes and styles within their oil painting processes. The exhibition seeks to explore their subject matter and technique in an elegantly curated show, designed to accommodate the taste of a wide range of collectors and enthusiasts. The exhibition runs from May 11th - June 16th. An opening reception with the artists will be held on May 11th, from 5pm - 8 pm.
Passionate about painting, Gail Morrison's oil landscape and still life paintings exude a vibrancy and color characteristic of the artist's life and personality. Gail Morrison began painting in Italy. For fifteen years she returned to to paint en plein air in Tuscany, often leading small groups of other painters. Since switching careers in 1992, Morrison has been the recipient of numerous awards and solo shows, the first of which followed just two years after she began painting. More recently, Gail has been focusing on painting still lifes, twelve of which have been juried by Oil Painters of America into their shows.
A full time artist since 2006, Jeff Morrow primarily focuses on portraiture, sporting art and urban scenes. Morrow gained an aesthetic education during his 28-year career as a commercial photographer and video producer. He describes his style as painterly realism. Though rooted in the classic tradition, his style is contemporary in spirit. Although the goal of a successful portrait is to create a good likeness and capture the essence of the subject, Morrow works to create paintings that are pleasing on their own merit. He strives to create paintings that convey a sense of the moment and that bring out the beauty in everyday scenes. He hopes his work will stand the test of time and be treasured by future generations. Jeff Morrow resides in the Cincinnati area and is a member of The Portrait Society of America, Oil Painters of America, The American Academy of Equine Art and is a Signature Member of the Cincinnati Art Club.
Raised in the small town of Mason, Ohio, Cindy was surrounded by farm land and spent her childhood exploring the streams and woods nearby, developing a passionate love of nature. Her specialty is Plein air painting. She feels that painting on location captures the effects of the natural light on the scene, light and color that may be lost if an artist is painting from a photograph. Cindy has won many awards for her paintings in international, national and local competitions, including the Award of Excellence for the Oil Painters of America Midwest Regional Show, and Honorable Mention in the International Artist Magazine Art Competition.

Welp. That was quick.
It seems Vh1's Sorority Sisters is on its last leg. Due to immense audience backlash and corporate sponsors pulling ads from VH1, the network will show the season's final three episodes back to back Friday night starting at 9:30pm.
Show/History Lesson: this show is premised around the lives of nine Atlanta women from the four historically black sororities. The show did a great job of playing up stereotypes about Atlanta, black females, but most of all any misconception about each organization and its members and how they might 'typically' behave.
The show premiered December 15 to 1.3 million viewers and massive contempt. After weeks of backlash through social media (#BoycottSororitySisters), sponsors began pulling ads from the show and Alpha Kappa Alpha even suspended two of the show's members. Carmex, Crayola, Ford, Hallmark, Honda, McDonalds, The NBA, Sports Authority, State Farm, and Victoria's Secret all pulled their ads from airing during the show – some pulled their ads from VH1 altogether until the show was canceled.
While VH1 has not stated it will cancel the show, it is pretty obvious no further production will occur.
On one hand, I agree with the general sentiment of fellow black Greeks in that this show should rightfully be pulled because it detracts from the image of the 100+ year old organizations and what they stand for. The main distinction between this show and other reality shows is that these women aren't just representing themselves, but are also "representing" their organizations – and that is where many people take offense. I get it.
However, I'm still wondering if this show deserved to get such a negative wrap and public outrage? At the end of the day it's a show that paints the African American community in a bad light as it highlights all of the drama, cattiness and "good for TV" nonsense that formulates into a great reality show (this is true for any targetted demographic). So if you strip the women saying 'I'm a proud member of ___ Sorority, Inc.' at the beginning of each episode, how is this show really different from other VH1 successes like Basketball Wives or the Love & Hip Hop franchise (I'm making an educated guess that the largest demographic of viewers for this show is the African American community)?
It's just like if I were on a show and I stated I'm a proud Tar Heel of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as I entered each scene. Yes, I'm a Tar Heel and no one can take that away from me; however, while I'm associated with the school I am not a reflection of the entire campus or its ideals or its values.
At the end of the day, I think a lot of people are upset because this show ties to the history of the collegiate black experience in a negative way. If the show had kept the same premise (inciting pettiness amongst the represented organizations), but had the cast represent discord on a college campus I do not believe the same outcome would have occured. The masses can relate to a struggling student trying to maintain their grades and extracurricular activities, the masses can't relate to a burlesque dancer and 30+ year old women (who haven't stepped on a college campus in years) arguing over the most assinine and simplest things to create a plot for the show.

A Mexican-born actress has been charged with engaging in a sham marriage to gain US residency.
Fernanda Romero was charged in a Los Angeles court on Monday for allegedly marrying pizza delivery manager Kent Ross in an attempt to stay in the United States.
She has pleaded not guilty, according to The AP.
Federal authorities allege that the couple repeatedly lied to investigators and falsified information on immigration forms since their 2005 marriage.
Prosecutors also claim that Romero and her husband have lived separately and dated other people.
The attorneys for the Mexican star assert that prosecutors cannot prove that their client and Ross were not in love at the time of their marriage.
Fashion photographer Markus Klinko, who reportedly dated the actress after she was married, will act as a key witness for the prosecution in the case.
Romero has gained notoriety in Mexico and had a supporting role in the 2009 film Drag Me To Hell.

After speaking for a few minutes toward the beginning of Tuesday's City Council session, Mayor Eric Bever left the center seat of the dais.
After serving two four-year terms, the Westside resident was termed out.
"I want to thank the members of the community who have been strong supporters over the years," he said.
"I've had a good time working with great people in every department," he added, "and without their help, we would not have resolved half the things that we managed to fix in these eight years. Thank you, staff, for all your help.
"It's been challenging, but also invigorating working with the different peers that I have served with up here on the dais. Some folks in the community have short patience for some of the people I've worked with, and actually I've found them to be a lot of fun to work with."
The fiscally conservative councilman, who was elected in 2004, took the mayoral helm from Gary Monahan in March. Monahan resigned from the position but remained on the council.

Throughout the day they trickled in, bright-eyed youngsters eager for a special Christmas experience.
When the event was finished last Saturday at Fire Station #304 at 11th Avenue and Eucalyptus Street in Hesperia, some 400 youngsters had received gifts, small and large, from local firefighters participating in the annual "Spark of Love" gift drive co-sponsored by ABC-TV.
There were plenty of Hot Wheels, Barbie dolls, stuffed animals, board games and sports-related items. But because donations were down, the firefighters ran out of gifts for the older children. So they made a last-minute gift run.
"We ran out of big kid toys," said firefighter-paramedic Jason McLaughlin, who helped organize the event. "Today we spent $400 at Walmart."
Earlier in the week, the firefighters spent $4,600 buying toys at Target.
Santa was there to talk to the children. Desert Pageants provided face painting and fun, temporary tattoos. Children were given the opportunity to select toys.
"It's our way to give back to the community," McLaughlin said. "It's great to see the kids' faces light up with Santa. We enjoy doing it."
Twenty-seven firefighters, family members and other helpers were on hand to assist, he said.
Igniting the 'Spark of Love'
The "Spark of Love" campaign began weeks ago.
On Saturday, Dec. 11, a man walked into Kmart in Hesperia on Saturday and told firefighters he would be right back with a gift. Minutes later, his generosity showed he was true to his word � and then some.
"Some guy brought us a bike," said firefighter-paramedic Quintin Jara, who was participating in the annual "Spark of Love" gift drive campaign in front of the Kmart in Hesperia. "It was cool."
But the pretty-and-pink girls bicycle was the exception not the rule on Saturday.
"Donations are down," McLaughlin said. "Usually we have 10 boxes filled by this time, but now we have just four."
Donations for the "Spark of Love" campaign were being accepted at all fire stations. Gifts are targeted for children 12 and under.
While donations may not be as impressive as previously, the spirit of giving was apparent on Saturday. Generous donors smiled as they filled the boot with dollar bills and put toys purchased at the store into a large cardboard box.
"Teachers give us a list of kids. They see the kids on a daily basis," McLaughlin said. "Some of those kids don't get to have a Christmas. So the toy drive is a good thing."

Westwood is Europe's first world number one since Nick Faldo in 1994
Newly crowned world number one Lee Westwood insists his predecessor Tiger Woods should not be written off.
Westwood, who ended Woods's 281-week reign at the top on Sunday, said: "He has gone away and come back before."
Woods has struggled for form since taking an extended break from the game to deal with personal issues.
Any one of Woods, Phil Mickelson and Martin Kaymer could depose Westwood when all four contest the WGC-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai this week.
"It's an exciting time for golf," Westwood told the BBC News Channel. "It could be a real sub-text to the tournament.
"If anyone can put a run together it's so close they could take the number one spot.
"But it's taken me a long time to reach world number one, I'm not going to worry about who I am going to lose it to."
Westwood, who has been sidelined by a calf injury since helping Europe win the Ryder Cup last month, was confirmed as the new world number one after Germany's Kaymer failed to secure the top-two finish that would have seen him usurp Woods.
And the Englishman revealed that he was running an errand for his wife when he was told the news.
"I'd been sent to the supermarket to buy some mash potatoes and something else when my caddie rang me to tell me Martin Kaymer wasn't playing very well and I was about to be world number one," he said.
"It took me a while to find my shopping after that. It was on of those quiet moments where you have a little smile to yourself."

HAGERSTOWN — The Broadfording Christian Academy Lions put the visiting Grace Academy Knights away early in a 64-15 victory in the Mason Dixon Christian Conference boys basketball quarterfinals Thursday.
Broadfording (20-11) will play in the semifinals Friday at Grace at 5 p.m. against the winner of the quarterfinal between New Life and Calvary, while the season came to an end for Grace (4-17).
The Lions built a 25-2 lead over the Knights in the first 10:42 of Thursday' game. Six-foot-5 senior power forward Pete Cradduck scored all nine of his points during the stretch for Broadfording. Cradduck also had six rebounds in the game.
"We came out big," Cradduck said. "We played hard from the opening tip. We had a lot of focus and we started off with a lot of energy. We are going to need that tomorrow night. I was glad that I got a few baskets early, so that I could help set up a good fast break for the team. That fast break resulted in a good balanced scoring effort for the team."
Cradduck said he likes the way Broadfording has come together this season.
"We're finally developing our chemistry, which is essential to us going deep in postseason play," he said. "I'm proud of the team overall."
D.J. Blanks had 12 points and five steals, while Ben Cradduck scored 10 points for the Lions. Mo Sallah had 12 rebounds, seven blocked shots and eight points, while Andrew Wyand had nine points, Elijah Colliflower had seven rebounds and Ryan Dominguez added four assists in the victory.
"Grace Academy is a talented team, but very young," Broadfording coach Burnie Clutz said. "We have seven seniors and I think that makes quite a difference. We had hoped to take control right from the very beginning. Defense wins championships. So, we stressed the requirement to play good defense from the opening tip. I thought we were aggressive with the basketball and we were unselfish."
Despite the big victory, Clutz said he still feels there is room for improvement for his Lions.
"We still turned the ball over 19 times," he said. "We have got to fix that."
E.J. Boutieller finished with 10 points and five rebounds, while Daniel Frederickson had 10 rebounds for the Knights.
"We shot 8-for-52," Grace coach Ira Brown said. "We missed 44 shots. About one-third of those shots were uncontested. It was an off night. Broadfording has got a good team. I give their coach a lot of credit. They are a very deep team. They don't lose anything coming off of the bench."
Broadfording Christian 64, Grace Academy 15
Knight 1 0-0 2, Boutieller 4 0-0 10, Hykes 0 0-2 0, Frederickson 1 1-4 3. Totals 6 1-6 15.
Dominguez 1 0-0 3, Blanks 4 2-4 12, Sallah 4 0-3 8, Boone 1 0-2 2, Wyand 4 0-0 9, Campagna 1 0-0 2, P. Cradduck 4 1-2 9, Colliflower 2 1-2 5, B. Cradduck 4 2-3 10, Garrish 2 0-0 4. Totals 27 6-16 64.
Grace Academy 2 7 0 6 — 15

Women & Domestic Violence & Abuse In Relationships & Marriages: Causes Behind Some Women Abusing Men
About Emmanuel Ale
3 comments:
When it comes to the terms of domestic violence or domestic abuse in relationships and marriages, knowing that it's a very serious and detrimental topic to talk about and knowing that people all over the world and people of all ages are and can go through and experience this, looking at it from a gender standpoint, even though a contribution factor to this is that there more men being the perpetrators or abusers more rather than there are women being abusers in relationships, as statistics and studies have shown and another contribution factor being that men can and are more prone to do life-threatening harm to women in that situation even though women can do it as well , for some reason, when it gets brought up for discussion, in a lot of cases, it only gets looked at on the terms of men being abusers and women being the victims and it's only the case of where the underlying cause for men doing it gets discussed. However, in this video, I look at it on the other side of the fence, as I discuss the underlying reasons and causes of women being abusive towards men in that situation, in which not many people know of or know about. You might learn something from this. Hope you enjoy.ReplyDelete
Domestic violence can also be verbal the two should always maintain a level of respect towards each otherReplyDeleteReplies
That's more so verbal abuse not violence, don't you thinkDelete

She told me not too long ago that she has given up on love. My heart sank to my knees when I heard the words come out her mouth. She's lost faith in the one thing that I'm holding on to. Searching for love in all the wrong places. You'd think by now I'd be over her but I swear the things she do to me are beyond words. I don't know what it is but she got it. More than anyone I've ever met. And I want it soo bad…Question is.. Should she really forgive me? Should she gamble on love just one more time? Did I mean enough to her for her to get past the chatter that comes from all directions? I'd like to hope so. Thinking you're in love with someone and the relationship only last a month.. That's just not me. Which is why I haven't even attempted to venture off. I know that anything new is exciting and exhilarating. All 29 days of it. I refuse to be that guy, though. Stringing someone along until the next new thing shows up. I've stayed true to myself and honestly believe everything will be ok. I put in too much time and effort to just be done. I mean how many people can I say that every time I see their face it makes me want to sing.. Plus, I've been silently working on the man in the mirror. There's no limit to the things I would do just to see her face every morning when I wake up. She has to forgive me, right? Here are 10 reasons why…
- I've stayed down for her through thick and thin no matter what we went through
- I've never let the things other people say dictate the way I feel about her
- I know the little things that make her smile
- She inspires me even when she doesn't know it
- I promise to give her the world and everything in it
- Her imperfections are what makes me love her so much
- Richard something.. Something Simmons
- There's always something on her ass
- My heart still beats fast when we kiss
- She completes me and holds me together
I'm at a point where I know what its going to take and she has the other half. Sticking to what I believe, ain't nothing in this world that could break us up for real. It's not a matter of hope.. It's only a matter of time.

Study of Organizational Culture in Singapore
The reason behind choosing Singapore as my country of interest mainly was that I did my Co-Op there in Fall of 2011. Personally I loved the country as a work place. Also I noticed during my stay there the amount of awareness they had about green technologies and environmental issues. Singapore is like the best of both worlds. Culturally and climate wise similar to Asia and rules, regulations and policies of those like any western country. Singapore has a mixed racial population. There are Chinese (mainly), Malay, British expats, Indians staying there as Permanent Residents for so many years harmoniously together. Review
Culture may be viewed as a group's "collective being" which is both static and dynamic in nature, and may be studied by looking at the dimensions of the "collective being" at a point in time as well as over time (RALSTON et al). Low's (2009; 2002) studies cites the twelve Singaporean values and these values are then cited and used to examine the key value(s) that prevail among these Singapore companies. According to his thesis there are eight types of corporate culture existing in Singapore.

(Source Low KCP (2011) 'Typologies of the Singapore Corporate Culture',) Ralston et al compared the four values of Hofstede's model to the Chinese values, consists of four dimensions: Confucian dynamism, human-heartedness, integration, and moral discipline. Comparisons were made across the four studies on the three Hofstede dimensions that correlate with CVS dimensions (i.e., Power Distance with Integration, Individualism with Moral Discipline, Masculinity with Human-heartedness)[1]. About 75 percent of the Singaporeans are of Chinese descent and so the Chinese work culture and values predominantly exist in the place[9]. However: Confucian dynamism is a different concept that exists in eastern culture, which consists of "saving face" phenomena.
Tung and Quaddus studied the Australian and Singaporean corporate culture based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions. Their studies answers our question of applying Hofstede's four cultural dimensions to Singapore culture.
* Power Distance: Hofstede's study has shown that the Singapore society is characterized by high power distance (PDI). Which indicates there are clear authority structures and social status is defined by your position in the society and workplace [9]. Expressing your opinion in front of your senior or boss is considered as not acceptable. Respecting elders and seniors comes from Confucianism that still exists in the...

Shirwan 16304
230 X 120 CMfrom sh.sameyeh Oriental carpet catalogue page No.189
last quarter 19th century
This represent a well known type of shirwan carpet composition which has rows of stepped -edged and conjoined hexagonal motifs in single vertical row , with a flattened, saw -edged medallion at either end of the row, the latter motif has been related by some authors to ancient – Egytian and Persian Royal insignia.
Shirvan rugs – The historic Khanate or administrative district of Shirvan produced many highly decorative antique rugs that have a formality and stylistic complexity that is found in few rugs from the Caucasus.
The depth of colors, the complexity of the composition and the phenomenal patterns featured in antique Shirvan rugs set them apart from those produced in other regions of the Caucasus.
The format is generally long and narrow, which would have been preferred by consumers in the Caucasus. This format lends itself well to multi-medallion compositions.All natural dyes are paramount for the carpet to have more than just decorative value. Beyond that, various dyers had varying levels of skill and invested different lengths of time in dyeing the yarns. The "quality of color"–its radiance and level of nuance within each color–is centrally important. Certain rare colors such as Tyrian purple, saffron yellow, cochineal rose and greens add to the carpet's value

I often go to Orchard Road to shop, eat, watch a movie or meet with friends over a cup of coffee. And if you love Japanese food like me, you will know that there are a plethora of good Japanese restaurants around Orchard Road to choose from. Today, I'm going to talk about one Japanese restaurant which is quite affordable and serves good quality Japanese food – Yayoi.
Yayoi serves teishoku or set meals with prices ranging from $10 to $20++. Yayoi has 5 branches in Singapore but the branch I am going to recommend today is at the one at Somerset 313. You can find the restaurant located just side-by-side with MK Suki, a popular Thai hot pot restaurant on B3.
Another unique point of Yayoi is that you place an order through an iPad, which is mounted at each table. After ordering, you can monitor the status of your dish whether it is being prepared or has been served. This reduces the number of staff in the restaurant to just a few waiters and cashiers.
I have eaten at Yayoi several times. The food has been consistently good and the price is not high like most good Japanese restaurants in Singapore. I personally like the mix teishoku (fried pork cutlet and breaded prawn with egg) and the pork hamburg set.
Shouga Nabe
Yesterday I ordered a special nabe set – Shouga Nabe (pork ginger hot pot served with fried white fish and rice). The soup was flavorful but not too salty. Succulent sliced pork and moist pork balls came along with the soup. A generous portion of fried white fish accompanied the set. Overall, I think it is a good deal for $18.9++.
In case you are around Orchard Road and are in the mood for Japanese food which does not break your bank, do give Yayoi a try.

Last year I met Sophie Raynaud in the event – Enlightened Substance Exhibition, she is a young artist from France, I was amused by her smile series artworks, she use the smiling face to adapted on many difference subjects, even the shape is pretty simple, but it's never get bored when I looking at every single piece of painting, I found they're unique, and with different expression. I took some photos of her painting, and hope more and more people to know Sophie, a happy painter.
In this photo I really love the Lollipop and the Bat one, simple shape and composition, created the nice native spacing.
Needless the say, I love the way she create the great wall with the smile shape; and the Slot machine is nice too.

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I've been taking part in the 100 day project. I've committed to creating 100 animal illustrations, and though I've missed the odd day, I'm doing my best to stay on target!
Every 10 illustrations I've been running a competition to give away one of the illustrations. This is my first foray into giveaways, and to be honest I wasn't sure my modest following would be interested, or would be actively annoyed by posts that appeared a bit spammy and self-promotional. So it's made me step out of my comfort zone and put myself out there in a very different way than before.
Inspired by some other makers, I've also added the most popular of the illustrations to my etsy listings, just in case someone who didn't win had their heart set on a sock wearing spider.
I'm currently offering to give away one of these beauties, from days 31-40. Go to my Instagram page for more details!

So I bought this nail polish from GinaTricot with the idea in my head that it's probably not going to be very good, but I really needed some nail polish that day, so I thought why not try. And I wasn't dissappointed!
I bought the shade 123 Blue Bug, which is actually a green nail polish that bends slightly towards yellow and brown. It's absolutely beautiful on!
+ cheap
+ good brush, easy to apply
+ good coverage, doesn't necessarily need a second coat
+ stays long (and that's saying something, cause usually my nails repell nail polish)
+ easy to find since there are so many GinaTricots
+ dries relatively fast, even with second coat on
I couldn't find any minuses whatsoever, so there you go, it's an excellent nail polish!
Transplant patient with all kinds of worries from hospital fear to dieting, and loads about good music, tattoos and rock n' roll!

Celebrities are steadily delivering us an endless supply of beauty inspiration, whether it's when they strut onto the red carpet or decide to share a snap of their life on Instagram. We carry along pics of their impeccable haircuts to the salon and regularly look to them for a way to switch up a standard cat-eye. It seems like it would be impossible to pick a favorite, but each week there's one celeb hair or makeup moment that really speaks to us. That's the look that gets crowned our Beauty MVP.
Here's another little reminder that blue eye makeup isn't outdated—it just depends on if you're wearing it with a perm or not. And it's 2015, so looks like you're in the clear. At the "Irrational Man" premiere, Emma Stone's makeup artist was inspired by her Giambattista Valli dress and used bright blue liner to draw on graphic lines that shockingly went really well with peachy shadow and coral-pink lipstick.
"I wanted Emma's makeup to have a modern and fresh feeling with a surprising pop of color," said makeup artist Rachel Goodwin. "I used a bright blue liner to create a graphic element to Emma's eyes, which I offset by using a subtle pink on her lips for a hint of color that would complement the eye makeup without competing."
The first step in getting that eye look was applying a white cream shadow on the lid and the brow bone (Goodwin says she did this to catch the light) followed by the peachy REVLON Illuminance Crème Shadow in Skinlights on the crease.
MORE: Zendaya's Eyeshadow Combo Is Legit
Coincidentally, the part of the look that popped the most was only targeted in a teeny tiny area around the eyes—meaning it won't take you THAT much time to do if you at least have a steady hand. Goodwin used the REVLON PhotoReady Kajal Matte Eye Pencil in Matte Marine (it'll cost you less than $10) and drew a tiny "V" on the corners of each eye. After defining the brows, curling lashes, and applying two coats of REVLON Bold Lacquer Length & Volume Mascara in Black, the eye makeup was set.
The equation behind that glowy complexion was a combo of moisturizer, a super lightweight foundation (Goodwin still wanted to see Stone's freckles), blush, and illuminator. That "pinky" color showed up again on Stone's lips, where Goodwin used REVLON Ultra HD Lipstick in HD Primrose to finish it all off.

SRINAGAR: A day-long workshop on disaster preparedness organized by disaster management, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction (DMRRR) and tourism department in collaboration with state disaster response force, civil defence and district Red Cross society was held at Nigeen Club here.
More than 75 volunteers, including 15 women, belonging to different districts and professions, participated in the training. The workshop was inaugurated by director tourism Kashmir Mahmood Ahmed Shah. During the workshop, participants were imparted hands-on training in Search and Rescue, fire-fighting and first aid. A mock drill was also held on the occasion. "We have begun Community Disaster Preparedness in which people from different communities and districts would take part," Amir Ali, director of disaster management said.
Mehnaz, a law student said that during the programme she came to know about various precautions the people can take while facing disasters.
"There should be a disaster awareness day in school just like fruit day or any other day celebrated in school so that the students learn as to how basic aid can be imparted," Sana Jan, another participant said.
Abdul Gaffar, senior instruction of SDRF offered tips on search and rescue, fire fighting, mountain exercise including one-rope method, rambling and climbing.
"If a person knows what they have to do in case of emergency, they can save major injuries during the time of disaster," Gaffar said.
Junaid Beigh, a member from Jammu and Kashmir Maintaining and Hiking club said, "In one day nobody can train and it is a big topic it cannot conclude in one day but we have to set our mind to help each other and learn these things."
Meanwhile, training was held by the Power Development Department with support from Disaster Management, for lineman and workers of power development department. They were trained to adhere to safety measures while handling electric wires. The training was impacted by JE Electric Zahida, under the supervision of AEE Firdous Ahmed Bhat. The training was held in the wake of the unfortunate incident, where one worker lost his life, while repairing HT line in Srinagar. The training of the electricians and workers will be conducted every Saturday in the PDD office at Bemina.

Apart from starting the new job - my body is in shock from the early, very early hours - and having a hell of a time at the Florence and the Machine + The XX concert, my mum, my sister and myself found time to complete a little project.
Behold, the result of our second home-tailoring attempt -
We copied the design from a top belonging to my older sister that we love, drew up the pattern on paper, traced it, cut it, and ran it up on our little sewing machine. Thanks to my mum, who took lessons in her youth, it was pretty uncomplicated affair. Basically, she instructed, we listened.
(She also took care of the niftier details, like some of the seams, and the stitches holding down the pleats, but my sister and I worked out how to trace and cut the cloth with the right allowances for the pleats!)
We're making two more, one in navy, and one in two-tone navy and cream. I feel so proud, and can't wait to be more hands-on in sewing those up.

Cayenne peppers are a variety of hot pepper and normally used to spice up recipes. They are grown like most other peppers in the garden and picked when they turn red in color. Peppers are not a high-maintenance plant as long as they are planted with enough space between them to provide proper ventilation and given enough water. Because cayenne peppers are actually perennials, many people grow them in containers as houseplants. Cayenne plants may be poisonous, though, so read the labels carefully and keep the plants away from children and pets.
Thin cayenne plants out to one every 2 feet to give them proper ventilation. The foliage will grow as the plants mature and if they are too close they may develop mildew problems.
Water the pepper plants to keep the soil moist. Keep the water under the foliage or do the watering early in the morning so the plant has time to dry. Once the peppers start to grow, be careful not to allow the soil to dry out or the peppers may fall off the plant prematurely.
Cultivate the soil between the plants to keep the weeds from taking the water and nutrition from the plants. It is best to pick the weeds by hand so as not to disturb the pepper plants roots, but you may use a hoe if you are very careful to stay shallow.
Apply a fertilizer made for vegetables that does not contain too much nitrogen. The first application should be as soon as growth is noticed after they are planted and again when the peppers start to set. Compost placed between the plants as a side dressing can be used between applications of fertilizer to add nutrients to the soil.
Harvest when the cayenne peppers turn red. Wear rubber gloves when working with the peppers so you don't rub your eyes or mouth with hands that have cayenne pepper juice on them. Snap the peppers off the stems or cut them off with pruning shears or a sharp knife.

TWO ARTISTS have combined to show the scope of land-art etched under the cover of darkness.
The beautiful pieces ranging from 90 metres to 200 metres long are the works of Edward, founder of Breathableocean, and have graced beaches from Torquay to Barwon Heads.
"Breathableocean started in the winter of 2014 in Torquay. The art is prepared before first light without ropes, measuring tools, helpers or the advantage of light," Edward said.
Using a $14 rake from Bunnings, the artist known only as Edward draws upon the seascape to create breathtaking pieces; whose true grandeur unknown until fellow artist and photographer Adam Stan flew a drone overhead.
"Adam Stan discovered a sunrise artwork per chance, like many people do, he was flying his drone around the Barwon Heads Bridge to capture a sunrise," Edward said.
"He filmed it on his drone and posted it on the Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Community Page. Adam Stan, bless his socks and amazing talent, traced the style of artwork to my Instagram account."
Edward said the pieces were created in under two hours to avoid getting washed away with the tides.
"After dancing like a dervish for an hour and a half with my Bunnings rake the lines are connected and the moment is complete. At first light the lines appear as shadows and soon the sun rises and brings colour to the morning and the art takes shape.
"I take a quick look, have a coffee and head off to work to stare at a computer screen. I have a 9am to 5pm office job and Adam gets in a photoshoot before going to do a full day's work himself."
The artwork at Barwon Heads on April 4 completed four different sunrise artworks over the Easter Weekend – Monday's sunrise at Torquay, Tuesday's Sunrise at Breamlea/Pt Impossible and Wednesday's sunrise Barwon Heads inspired by Stephanie Gilmore.


text: rainbow Report post Posted February 5, 2005 Plumeria, pear and white champagne. In the bottle and wet on skin- a strong, sweet golden pear, with a slight white wine undertone. Wearing- Very much a fresh fruit scent. I smell like a summer fruit basket! Mostly of pear, but also a hint of peach. Overall, I found this to be a true pear and white wine scent. It was more white wine than champagne to me, as I didn't really get any bubbliness, as I do with, say Bon Vivant. Rather, the wine was more mellow than champagne normally is. This is an excellent summer scent- very golden, and very mellow. It is definitely a happy scent, so fitting for the grace of good cheer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps that might be possible David, but for the moment, I am not sure the other tools I am using are not all available outside Australia. Most are, but some are local products - you may have equivalents though. One of the tools is called DayMap, from a Melbourne company. Essentialy an SMS, it also has a small LMS module that is more or less a credible wiki and not a lot else. I am not sure that they will be selling internationally yet but I imagine it won't be long. I am developing a solution that meets our local laws regarding storage of data, as well as promoting positive learning outcomes. It also uses MS-Sharepoint which we are turning into a local repository - so not a lot is going to be stored externally. Moodle is, hopefully, going to be used for resources and online testing, If they can get Mahara up in that environment, then that will be for eportfolio and social networking with other common open source tools for more specific purposes - Wordpress for one. All locally stored and we can develop them to suit our need. One snag, Sharepoint 2013 is not being co-operative right now so the whole strategy could be brought undone by it. As I said, we shall see.

While working, I always enjoyed getting a chance to see where the rubber met the road. This took me to visits at a steel mill, a call center, a data center, a pharmaceutical plant, an air traffic control tower simulator, numerous movie sets, a beer plant and cheese manufacturer (that was pleasure, not working), a solar photovoltaic manufacturing facility, a check processing center, a bank vault (with $20 million in cash), numerous blood centers, a coal mine, a coal fired power plant, a nuclear power plant ("A" list tour including the cooling pools), and now most recently a cancer research laboratory. You know how in the Wizard of Oz towards the end of the movie when Dorothy pulls back the curtain to expose the wizard, it was sort of like that with the cancer lab, but it was real.
We met with the cancer lab manager who gave us an "A" list tour. We saw how tumor cells were brought into the lab and where live cancer tumor cells are grown into cell lines. Cell lines are used during assessment analyses to determine drug effectiveness and cancer growth pathways (e.g., how cancer spreads from the primary tumor site to other bodily sites like the lymph nodes when implanted into lab animals). We saw test tubes, met cancer research doctors and technicians, saw high powered microscopes, deep freeze vats used for cryo freezing of cells at about minus 260 degrees centigrade, a cold room, and more. Cancer research is a very expensive, tedious, and laborious process, yet so important. We thank the individuals who allowed us this peek behind the curtain. There is so much taking place these days and it all requires funding, ethical approvals by internal review boards, grant writing, and lots of paperwork. For my sake and those that come after me, we owe a lot to these hard working, passionate, and dedicated individuals who are trying to make life better for others.
