Quattro S1
by Phil Wicks
The Audi Sport Quattro S1 was introduced at the end of 1984 as an update to the Audi Sport Quattro. The car featured a 2,110 cc inline 5-cylinder engine that produced a quoted figure of 350 kW (470 bhp). However, the turbocharger used a recirculating air blow off system which allows the turbo to keep spinning at high speed on overrun, and the actual output figure was in excess of 373 kW at 8000 rpm. In addition to the improved power output, an aggressive aerodynamic kit that featured very distinctive wings and spoilers to the front and rear of the car was added to increase downforce. The vehicle weight was lightened to just 1,090 kg, giving an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds!
This model is a reproduction of the S1 which proved to be an immediate success on the rally circuit, helping Walter Röhrl and Christian Geistdörfer win the 1985 San Remo Rally. A modified version of the S1 was also driven by Michèle Mouton. The S1 evolution would become the final Group B car produced by Audi with the works team withdrawing from the championship following the horrific accident in the Portugal rally in 1986.

Twenty years after the cancellation of Group B, the Sport Quattro S1 was still widely regarded as the most powerful rally car ever fielded in international competition, with the final factory machines of 1986 rated at an incredible 441 kW (591 bhp).
In addition to Group B competition, the S1 won the 1985 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with Michèle Mouton in the driving seat, setting a world record time in the process. This victory was repeated in 1987, this time at the hands of Walter Röhrl, and again in 1988 (Michèle Mouton) and 1989 (Bobby Unser), completing the hat-trick.
Big shoes to fill indeed and not to be undertaken lightly. Revell tried it with the early S1 and although detail and finish were good, the final product fell far short of the image with the model very unstable on most surfaces. I suspect Revell wanted to reproduce the tail-out stance the S1 could achieve quite freely in any corner, only Revell's model doesn't give the impression it spits fire and brimstone on most surfaces! The traction magnet is vestigial to say the least and the model readily topples over in all but the most sweeping of bends......gladly, Mr Scaley has done better than this .....but first things first!
The first requirement of a good slotcar is to look good, and Mr Scaley has captured this well. Paintwork is mostly good but on my model there are some very average tampo overlaps around the guards (wings/fenders) Colour is good and Scaley have captured most of the feel of the sponsorship except, probably due to tobacco advertising laws, Scaley have decided to leave the German American HB International cigarette company advertising off the model, with the exception of the HB on the screen sun visor. This is a point to Revell as they have included this in full. Looking round the model Scalextric have managed to accommodate everything else.
As with the real thing the model's striking feature is the large air dam on the front of the model and the 'sponsons' on the sides covering the huge increase in track. the rear wing looks like it is here to stay so I defy anyone to loose it under normal racing conditions. The overall impression is of a utilitarian body as apposed to modern rally cars with their gratuitous body styling. Inside the cabin is a nice interior with a full crew and accessories, and a set of plain wheels and useable soft tyres complete its outward appearance.
Looking underneath, the axles are fairly snug in their bushes with endfloat a minimum, and the wheels are pleasantly concentric but the tyre tread areas are considerably convex; this is due to the differences in the large and small steps of the plastic rim. On the rear the tyres are undermoulded and this causes the large step to push the centre of the tyre tread out into a hump; so there is a bit of sanding to be done here.
The odd thing is that the front wheels are smaller than the rears by about a half mil?? MMmmmmmm? but they still suffer the same fault, but as fronts this is not so important. As well as some realistic tyre tread patterns it would also have been nice to see some tampo'd tyre names on the sidewalls, but Scaley have opted to ignore these features.
Also underneath it is interesting to note the axle-position magnet slot behind the motor has been used for the traction magnet? I first came across this with the XB Falcon when there was an uproar about the effects of the offset magnet (which I believe were much overstated). I have since discovered that the rear position is for the thinner standard magnet. If you try and fit this in the forward magnet position it is loose and needs to be glued in, but the thicker replacement magnets currently available clip very nicely into this forward position. All else is Scaley fare and the model is also DPR.
Once again inside the model everything is very neat and tidy and there are no nasty shocks. The rear light board is tight in its mounts but there is an issue at the front; the ferrite choke on the lead wires gets stuck under the front light board and holds it out of its slots; in turn this interferes with the guide movement and also prevents the body fitting snugly on the chassis and tightening down could see something break. Some careful manipulating of this device will see it tuck down the side of the guide and finally clear the light board. The two single strand wires which go onto the guide are actually the legs of the capacitor, and I have had these break on well used models. If you are going to give this or any of the Scaley models with this system a lot of work, I advise you to desolder everything, discard the capacitor and the choke, and resecure the lead wires directly to the two 'shoes' which slot in the guide assembly.
There are a couple of other things to watch for before putting in some track time. When replacing the body on the chassis there is a tendency on this model for the red wire to get trapped under the body mounts, so just make sure it is to one side out of the way. Scaley have also departed from tradition in that they have glued the drivers tray in instead of relying solely on clips. Any attempt to remove it by unclipping it could see the clips break.
Before taking it off to the track I will spend a few minutes 'blueprinting' it to ensure it will be hot to trot straight from the box. My only concern is that the body alone weighs in at a huge 42 grams. this is heaps for such a small model? Looking closer underneath it appears that the body is composite, in as much as that it is made up from several large pieces which have been bonded together (doors, bonnet and roof, guards). Not sure why this is so but a couple of theories are that possibly it was an easier way of casting the unusual shape, or secondly that Scaley have plans for the core mould in some later incarnation or model? Either way, it still weighs 42 grams, which is going to make it a bit top heavy!
At the track and as expected, the model is inclined to roll over deslot when powering out of corners, not an ideal situation but one that can be addressed at length, but the model has all the other attributes of a good Scalextric model. Good acceleration and straightline speed and useful braking characteristics. On Magnabraid you can still get the back out in the corners without it toppling but it is close, and under the pressures of a race situation that extra tenth performance won't be available.
Its shortness works well and the model tends to be fairly controllable in non magnet situations and for those who want that extra tenth, perhaps some new tyres and judicious trimming of the body posts might work. The real car doesn't sit low on the road so dropping its standing height might just make it look a little odd? Finally, and more importantly, I believe it should have been four wheel drive!
Although a very nice model I get the feeling Scaley were on a cost cutting exercise with this model. Outside of the tampo it is short of that little bit of extra detail we were getting used to with Scalextric! But it's still a nice model and mine is for the track anyway, and perhaps all the fine detail may well have ended up as a statistic in a plastic bag! If you love the group B era, then this is a must!

Greg and I were first time parents and were given great advice, tips and care at each and every appointment. We had a long labor process and I am completely positive that the excellent care and personal attention from all of the staff made it possible for us to make it through a completely natural birth process. I recommend the midwives and birth center to everyone I know and can't imagine going anywhere else if we decide to go for #2!

On the day of our first game my team leader scheduled a "strategy session" during lunch. Honestly I had not even considered the possibility of dodgeball strategy until the Outlook reminder popped up 15 minutes before the meeting but apparently other team members had plans for the game beyond "try not to die" and "write a hilariously self deprecating blog post." Curious. We met in the a conference room and wrote things on the white board and got answers to questions like, "Seriosuly it's in Brooklyn? at 9pm? WTF?" It was at this meeting that I learned that dodgeball has a lot of rules. Frankly, I am shocked that we expect children to master such a complicated game. You can't throw balls at peoples heads. There are special small white balls that can only be thrown by girls. And apparently the point of the game is to hit people with balls or, in my case, try very very hard to avoid getting hit by balls (and, not to spoil the surprise, fail).
I arrived at the elementary school gym where the game/opportunity to sacrifice my self worth for the sake of this blog was being held at 8:45 at night after some personal strategizing over beer and fish and chips. Our team shirts were black which I consider especially fortuitous: match-y and slimming! I paired mine with black leggings (the scourge, I know but it was cold and I don't own any work out pants that fit because i don't play sports. or work out.) and the cutest bright green short shorts. My second reason for joining dodgeball (after blog related needs) was to have an excuse to wear these extremely ass flattering shorts in public (this is also one of the main reasons why i am considering buying a bike). As you can see I was focused on the most important aspect of any sporting event: Outfit Choice.
We had a brief chance to warm up pregame which is when I discovered that any dreams that I may have been harboring about latent savant-like dodgeball abilities would remain only in my head because in reality I can neither throw nor catch nor, most disappointingly, dodge. Even more depressing -- my cohorts, despite all of their big strategizing talk, were not much better off. A little about my teammates. We work in software development. I think it's safe to assume that everyone on my team was picked last during PE on a pretty regular basis.
And our opponents? These people seemed rather... committed. There was growling and seriousness all around. I am positive that everyone on this team owns at least 5 pairs of work out pants and I suspect they were all outraged that the Dodgeball movie was a comedy and not a documentary along the lines of Murderball. They obviously wished that killing wimpy software developers with the red balls of death was not against the league rules. To make matters worse none of the guys were particularly hot.
I doubt anyone will be surprised to learn that my team sucks but I was a bit shocked at the level of awful we managed to attain. Each round of dodging and balling theoretically lasts for 7 minutes. unless your entire team gets eliminated in say the first 2 minutes. Which, I assure you, can happen. But on a court full of young adults raised on a steady diet of after school specials where the underdog surges ahead to win it all/get the girl/say no to drugs during the first minute of play everyone almost believed that the software people could bring it home -- maybe we had secret untapped reservoirs of dodgeball talent! Even our fierce opponents seemed a little skeptical that nerdy runs all the way to the bone. At one point early in the game as I held a squishy red ball in my hand, poised to throw, the guy across the court from me looked a little afraid, I quickly shook my head and assured him not to worry as there was next to no chance of me hitting him. He may have momentarily thought this a reverse psychology ploy but I quickly provided evidence of my honesty by throwing as hard as I could resulting in the ball hitting the ground about 1 foot in front of me and bouncing up to nearly smack me in the face. Take that!
At half time I was forced to submit to a huddle where the following advice was meted out:
- Stop sucking
- Maybe we should spit on the other team members to distract them.
So. We lost. Sort of.. see it turns out we were supposed to play a second team of (one assumes) burly guys and lithe women. Except they never showed up, and so, despite the math we did post game (I try to contain my cool but it's so hard...) that proves that my team lost an average of five players per minute whenever we were on the court, technically we're 2 and 2! Provided we can find a way to continue taking out teams before they arrive at the games (hacking into the subway system?) I have high hopes for our season.

JAC has added the payroll calendar to our website providing the payroll due dates and
also sent a copy to each circuit HR office. It is important to adhere to these dates as it helps
to ensure that everything is processed timely.
We are responsible for making sure that we have all the necessary forms in each
employee's file in case we are audited and we have to check with Florida Retirement Services
(FRS) to ensure that the employee has not taken a distribution of any retirement funds even if
the employee is currently working as OPS.
We need the first PAR to document in the People First System that the employee is
on FMLA from the first day they become eligible even if they are receiving full or partial pay.
The second PAR needs to be submitted to us once the employee has exhausted all leave and is no
longer eligible to be paid but is still eligible for FMLA and the state's portion of health
benefit payment.
The correct effective date for an employee who is starting LWOP should be the first day that
they will not get any pay. Please include in the comments section the number of hours the employee
should be paid for the month.
Due to HIPAA (a federal law), only employees themselves can call the Provider or go
online to the Provider website and request cards. Contact information can be found on our website
under Human Resources, Benefits, Insurance Information. Scroll to the bottom of the page and then
click the link for "Provider Contact Information". The phone number and website are both listed.
Due to the Social Security Number Requirement, newborn children cannot be added until
the employee has received the child's social security number. The employee must call People First
with this information at 866-663-4735. The effective date of coverage will be retroactive to the
beginning of the month in which the child is born and premiums will be due accordingly.
If an employee experiences an issue while in the hospital, People First and DMS will work
together with the Provider to ensure the coverage is in place.
No, regardless of whether the 60 days are up or premiums have been deducted from
payroll, changes to those initial elections can only be made if the employee has a qualifying
status change (QSC) event or during open enrollment.
Walgreens is not a part of the State of Florida contract with CVS/CareMark.
Children may remain on the insurance plan from birth up through the end of the calendar year in
which they turn 26 under any of your family plans.
DROP participants may change employers while in DROP and transfer such participation
under the new FRS employer. The participant will be required to submit a new
DP-ELE Form , have
the new employer certify their dates of participation, and then submit this form to The Division
of Retirement. DROP participation is contingent upon continuous FRS employment. Employees who
experience a loss of employment will need to secure new FRS employment and to ensure such employment
begins the month immediately following the month of their layoff/termination. For example, if you
lose your job and you subsequently terminate employment on March 9, 2013, you will need to secure
new FRS employment within the month of April 2013. Failure to do so will end your participation
in DROP and you will be officially "retired". The Division of Retirement will place you on the
retired payroll, mail a check for your lump sum DROP accumulation, and you will also begin receiving
your monthly pension benefit.
Total participation in DROP with all employers cannot exceed 60 months; however, there
are exceptions to the termination requirements for elected officials and certain K-12 instructional
personnel. An elected official may terminate employment at the end of the 60 month DROP eligibility
period or postpone termination until the end of their current term of office or subsequent term of
office. Interest will cease to accrue on the DROP account for such elected officials after the 60
month DROP participation period, but prior to their termination from office. Elected officials who
extend the termination requirement under this provision will also not receive their lump sum DROP
accumulation or monthly benefits until they have terminated from their elected office.
All employees have a one-time switch, known as the 2nd Election, to change their initial retirement
plan. This 2nd Election may occur at any time in an employee's career and can be utilized to switch
to either plan. Employees can make this election by calling the My FRS Financial Guidance Line at
1-866-446-9377, by logging into their online account at www.MyFRS.com , or by submitting the
Election Enrollment Form . Employees are required to make this switch prior to terminating employment,
and this must be done by 4 p.m., the last business day for which they will earn salary.
Please note that if you plan to utilize your 2nd Election to switch from the Pension Plan to the
Investment Plan, and you have not met the vesting requirements under the FRS, your opening account
balance under the Investment Plan will not include your prior Pension Plan service. You are only
fully vested in the money you transfer from the Pension Plan to the Investment Plan after you have
met the vesting requirements of the FRS. The vesting requirements for the Pension Plan are six
years for members enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, and eight years for members initially
enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011. Since you currently have four years of service
credit, you would be required to work an additional two years before your prior Pension Plan service
would be available to you and transferred to your Investment Plan account. You would be immediately
vested in any new Investment Plan contributions and would only be eligible for a distribution of
those contributions, plus employee contributions, prior to completing six years of service.
As a member of the FRS Investment Plan, you are eligible for a distribution of your
account funds after completing one year of creditable service. You are required to be terminated
from all FRS employers for three calendar months before requesting this distribution. If you meet
the normal retirement requirements under the FRS, you may be eligible for a one-time early
distribution of up to 10% of your account balance, after terminating for one calendar month.
If you decide to take a distribution of your Investment Plan account, you will be considered "retired"
under the FRS. This is regardless of your age. This definition of retirement also includes rolling
over your Investment Plan account to another qualified retirement plan.
Once "retired" under the FRS, you are also required to adhere to FRS Re-employment Provisions.
These provisions stipulate that you must terminate from all FRS covered employment for six calendar
months. For these purposes, this six month termination requirement would begin from the point in
which you either take a distribution or roll over your account funds. This prohibition on FRS
employment includes all part-time, full-time, OPS, and temporary employment. If you return to
FRS employment during the first six months of retirement, you will violate these provisions and
are subject to the repayment of your distribution. The employing office could also be subject
to monetary penalties for this violation. You may return to FRS employment during the seventh
through twelfth month of retirement, without violating these provisions, but will be required
to suspend any further distributions until you have been retired for one calendar year. You may
return to work for any private employer at any time without jeopardizing your FRS retirement benefits.
During the 2009 Legislative Session, several bills were passed concerning the FRS Re-employment
Provisions. One such bill prohibits renewed membership under the FRS Pension Plan, the FRS Investment
Plan, as well as members of the State University System Optional Retirement Program, the State Senior
Management Optional Annuity Program, and the State Community College System Optional Retirement Program.
Specifically, this bill prohibits retirees who initially return to FRS employment on or after
July 1, 2010, from earning a 2nd retirement benefit. Since you indicate that you took a distribution
from your Investment Plan account you are now considered a "retired" member of the FRS. Due to your
retirement status and initial re-employment after July 1, 2010, you are now prohibited from enrolling
in the FRS and earning another retirement benefit.
Employees who wish to receive a refund of their 3% employee retirement contributions may do so
after terminating all FRS employment for three calendar months. Members of the Pension Plan will
need to contact The Division of Retirement at toll free 1-844-377-1888 or locally at (850) 907-6500 to request this refund and complete
the Refund Packet . Pension Plan members should be aware that they will forfeit any service credit
represented by this 3% employee refund but have the option to purchase this refunded service if
they return to FRS employment for one continuous year. Members of the Investment Plan may also
request a refund of their 3% employee retirement contributions and will need to contact the My
FRS Financial Guidance Line at 1-866-446-9377. Investment Plan members will forfeit any unvested
contributions, however, and the service credit associated with those unvested contributions.
Investment Plan members should also consider that they will be considered to have "retired" by
taking this refund of employee contributions, and therefore ineligible to earn a 2nd retirement
if they return to FRS employment in the future.

Post-tax benefits include department sponsored insurance and miscellaneous payroll deductions, such as life and disability insurance, credit unions, parking, etc.
All unemployed workers covered under the Florida Unemployment Compensation Law can
receive weekly benefits, if eligible and are fully qualified. The Department of Economic Opportunity
(DEO) must determine the eligibility of the claim; therefore, please respond promptly to all DEO
requests in a timely manner.
Once an individual files for RA, they will have a one-week waiting period and then on
the second week will begin to receive a benefit. Individuals under RA will receive a benefit every
two (2) weeks.
The "base period" is the first four (4) of the last five (5) calendar quarters from the
date the individual files a claim.
OPS employees can receive weekly benefits, if eligible and are fully qualified. It is
a fact that they are considered a temporary employee and are usually hired for a certain period, but
at the end of their employment the office would be considered the moving party. The only time an OPS
employee is not eligible is if they were terminated for misconduct(defined by RA) and if they left the office
If an individual is working part-time and is earning below their determined maximum weekly
benefit amount, which could be up to $275.00, than they are eligible to receive the difference between
what they earn and the maximum benefit amount. (For example, if a current
employee is working 20 hours a week, earns $10 an hour, and files for unemployment they could be
eligible for a benefit from RA of $75.00 per week.) According to RA, this is called Partial
It is the responsibility of the claimant to file weekly earnings and for DEO to monitor those
earnings. Any employee who is working part-time and earns $275.00 or more per week would not be
eligible. (Note: if an employee works 40 hours a week and does not earn at least $275.00 a
week, the employee is not eligible for RA because they are working fulltime.)
Retirees are disqualified from RA benefits if the retirees benefit is more than the
determined maximum weekly benefit amount of the claim (if the retiree weekly benefit amount is
over $275.00 than they are not eligible for a weekly RA benefit) and are not actively looking
for work. If the retiree receives a RA benefit less than the determined maximum benefit then
they can receive a benefit if determined otherwise eligible and fully qualified.
Any benefits received for which a claimant was not entitled are overpayments and subject to
recovery. RA requests the claimant to payback 10% of the overpayment each month until their debt is paid
in full to RA. They do not require it. Once RA begins to receive installments of the overpayment, they
will record it on the next scheduled Quarterly Invoice. This process could take multiple invoices before
all of the overpayment is credited to the office's account.
When a claimant files a claim DEO first determines who the last employer was, and then
they determine the base period, and then determine how many employers fell within that claimant's
base period. If it is determined that we are not the last employer then DEO will base their decision
on the circumstances as to why they separated from that employer. If it is determined, that the
claimant should receive benefits then we would be responsible for a percentage of the claim even if
they left us voluntarily or for misconduct.

Amazon Starts Games Trade to Challenge GameStop
NEW YORK - Amazon.com Inc will allow shoppers to trade in used video games for store credit, a move that may challenge a core driver of profitability for No. 1 U.S. game retailer GameStop Corp.
GameStop shares fell 13 percent on Thursday, after Amazon set the trial launch of "Amazon Video Games Trade-In." Users can mail in used games and get varying amounts of Amazon.com credit, including a 10 percent bonus toward items in Amazon's online video games store.
Amazon's move (www.amazon.com/tradeingames), which includes free shipping, comes on the heels of reports that big-box retailers Best Buy Inc and Toys-R-Us are testing the trading of used games.
Credit Suisse analyst Gary Balter called the Amazon development "disconcerting," suggesting that it chips into a kind of monopoly that GameStop has on used games, albeit one too small for game trade-in competition from Amazon to have much impact on the specialty retailer's profits.
GameStop profit margins have benefited from an active trade-in system in which shoppers return used games for a fraction of the purchase price or store credit. The returned games are sold at a higher profit margin than new games.
Balter suggested that GameStop can withstand near-term encroachment from physical retailers.
"That (Toys R Us testing) in many ways is less of a threat, as GameStop's advantage of 10 times as many locations and selection seem to make them less vulnerable," he said. "Best Buy and others have tested it for some time but have not been as successful."
Shares of GameStop had risen 35 percent in the past three months as sales of video game consoles by Nintendo Co Ltd, Sony Corp and Microsoft Corp remained robust, driving consumers into GameStop stores to buy software for their systems.
Analyst Ben Schachter of UBS said investor reaction to Amazon's move may be overblown, since online sales are a small fraction of GameStop's business. Game enthusiasts, he said, prefer to go to a store, drop off a game, and grab a new one.
"We believe the "instant gratification" of the trade-in process at physical stores remains a key advantage for GameStop," Schachter said in note to clients. "The bottom line is that Amazon is a formidable competitor, but we don't see any meaningful near-term risk, and online used just isn't a particularly big market."
Shares of GameStop fell $3.47 to $23.83, while Amazon shares rose 19 cents to $65.91.

Multi-Color Supplies Heat Transfer Labels for P&G Canister
Friday, August 29, 2003
Press release from the issuing companyCINCINNATI, Aug. 28 -- Multi-Color Corporation, Cincinnati, OH, has partnered with Procter & Gamble and Liquid Container to develop a Heat Transfer Label (HTL) for Folgers' new Aroma Seal(TM) plastic Canister. Rotogravure printed at Multi-Color's Dec Tech facility, this label begins its nationwide debut on containers in September 2003. Multi-Color's Dec Tech facility, in Framingham, MA, pioneered the heat transfer technology more than forty years ago and remains the industry leader today, offering a combination of technology and flexibility designed to meet the needs of the consumer. "Just under two years in development, this project is the largest single piece of heat transfer business in the past decade," said Frank Gerace, President and CEO of Multi-Color. Because Heat Transfer Labels (HTL) are designed to react to increased temperatures, the label allows for warm containers to be decorated in-line with the molder. This is ideal for cutting time and cost from the manufacturing process. Once applied, these labels are permanently adhered to the container. They won't scuff, lift, blister, or peel as a result of moisture or daily use. Blow molded at Liquid Container, in Hammond, LA, this HDPE canister is produced and labeled in three convenient sizes with an easy grip handle. The labels are applied in one pass onto three separate panels with specially developed Therimage(TM) decorating equipment, to create the clean "no-label" look. Partnering with Turner Plastics Innovations, Burlington, KY, the tooling for this project was also custom made to meet the unique specifications of the container. "One of our main goals at Multi-Color is be a resource to our customers, ensuring the latest in innovation and service," explained Angela Pariselli, Marketing Program Manager for Multi-Color Corporation. "Providing P&G with a team of packaging expertise, we challenged the restrictions of traditional labeling to deliver a total performance package. From design to machinery, Multi-Color put the right people in place to help Folgers introduce this revolutionary canister to the coffee industry."

Interview with Wish Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
For the first time in Southeast Texas, Grammy Award-winning rappers Bone Thugs-n-Harmony will perform an all ages show at the Dixie Dance Hall in downtown Beaumont on Crockett Street on Sunday, Feb. 16 with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets are $26 (plus service charges) and can be purchased at the venue, area Florida Tans and online at frontgatetickets.com.
From Cleveland, Ohio, BTNH were signed by the late Eazy E in 1993 on Ruthless Records and released the national smash album, E. 1999 Eternal, which went on to sell more than 10 million copies and produce the mega-radio hits "Tha Crossroads" and "1st of Tha Month." Next came The Art of War in 1997 that also went four-time platinum and contained the radio giant "Look Into My Eyes." Other popular songs include "Thuggish Ruggish Bone," "Foe that Love of $" and "If I Could Teach the World."
Before the music, how did the group get their name, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony?
"We were first called Bone Enterprise," said member Wish Bone. "Then we changed it to just Bone and had a song called 'Thugs-n-Harmony' and (Eazy) E thought we should put it together and change it to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. So we did."
The late Eazy E, from Compton, Calif., had a big investment in Ruthless Records that signed the artists Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, who then went own to form the rap group N.W.A. with Eazy and had big influences on most in the industry.
"I was a big Geto Boys fan," added Wish Bone. "I also loved Just-Ice and of course, N.W.A. and getting to work with E was the best life experience we had. Not only what he contributed with us, but what he contributed to rap music itself."
The passing of Eazy E in 1995 affected everyone, especially Bone Thugs. "It happened in the beginning of our careers," said Wish Bone. "We didn't know if we were going to be able to continue on or not. We thought our career would be at a standstill."
But the group put emotions aside and release E. 1999 Eternal some four months after E's death and the record would become the first of three No. 1 albums on the Billboard chart for BTNH. "With that album, we opened up a new lane in the rap game," said Wish Bone. "It was a new sound giving hip hop music something refreshing. The world was ready for some new music. These songs were original and that's why they are still being played today."
Fans can also purchase a special VIP ticket for the show for $76, which gets you a meet-and-greet with the iconic group.
The Dixie Dance Hall is at 234 Crockett St. For more information, call (409) 833-1700.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at this post. Hopefully you had a great long weekend! At the time I'm writing this it's currently the long weekend and I'm about to leave to celebrate a friend's birthday. #BBQturnup
If you follow me on social media (links are on the right if you don't!) you'll know that I was in New York a few days ago. I was there for less than a week for family and I guess you can say "business". I shot a wedding! My first weeding, actually. Spoiler alert! It went really well. I'm going to write a little more about New York before getting into the wedding stuff.
Let me start this off by saying I've been to Manhattan a few years ago and I was so impressed by that experience that it turned out to be one of my favourite cities in the world. (Nothing beats Toronto though). Our hotel was pretty much in the heart of Times Square. "Crowne Plaza" to be exact. Right beside the world's biggest Hersey store which definitely wasn't good. Let's just say binging was definitely not a good idea.
Our first day was jam packed. Arrived at the airport (I think it was Laguardia) and took what felt like a 45 minute cab to the city. The cab ride was a eye opening experience. It's been a while since I've been to New York but it made me realized how crazy it is to drive there. Pretty much like driving downtown Toronto but people are a lot faster and aggressive. It was hard for me to imagine driving my manual transmission Kia Forte there. So we get to the hotel, go to a local deli to get some breakfast and then go see the play Wicked! That was AMAZING! If you don't know what Wicked is, it's a theatre play based around the Witch from Wizard of Oz. It was amazing! Did I mention it was amazing? The singing was amazing. I was blown away by how they can create so many different worlds on the stage just by using props, lights and music. The amount of creativity these people have is astounding. I definitely think plays and theatre and overlooked in todays society and in my generation. It's a shame! I want to watch more plays! Come with me! After the play we go to this restaurant in Brooklyn called Ninja. THAT was cool too! I used to work at a restaurant in downtown Toronto so I'm always interested in unique food spots. The restaurant is made to look like a secret Ninja village. The servers jump out at you at unsuspecting times and they're all dressed up as ninjas! Really gimmic-y but it was nice! The food was alright too. I wasn't blown away. My favourite dish was a beef with mashed potatoes dish... the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine.
The next day we went to the Statue of Liberty. MURICA! We went all the way to the top! It was really cool seeing how they made it. They basically made a small version and scaled it up again and again until it got to the size you see today. The whole thing is a wire frame with sheets of... I think copper on the outside. Really cool! (A lot of you might not know this but in high school I wanted to be an architect so I'm really intrigued by structures)
After that was the wedding. Ohhhh man here we go! The wedding was amazing. For my first wedding I can honestly say I was super impressed with myself. Looking through the pictures I can confidently tell you that I captured great photos and that I can handle a wedding by myself. I'm incredibly picky and hard to impress so that's great coming from me. The wedding was for my cousins Ken and Karmela and I really couldn't thank them enough for giving me the opportunity. Yeah I'm family but weddings only happen once and I'm glad they had faith and trusted me. If you're reading this, thank you guys! Everything went so well! Click this text to see the photos for yourself.
The whole trip was just amazing and I had a blast. Hopefully life or work brings me back soon. #billboardintimessquare

I'm a San Francisco-based user experience designer.
Veterinarian, paramedic, and interior designer were some of my initial career paths. Ultimately, my passions steered me into a design career that started with a seven-year stint in the field of Interior Design. While working in Interior Design, my passions grew into a drive to pursue a career in user experience design.
I've been fortunate to work for both large companies and boutique agencies, experiences that helped shape my skills in a multitude of roles: web developer, project manager, art director, writer, photographer, and even party planner and bartender.
Right brained or left brained? Organized or creative? With me, it's all of the above. I solve design puzzles by balancing usability and accessibility with smart, fresh, eye-catching designs.
Since starting my professional career over 10 years ago, I have found my passion in user experience design and visual design while wielding knowledge in content strategy and creation. Client projects I've had opportunity to work on include First Republic Bank - Consumer & Corporate online banking, Visa, Shapiro Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Osmo Nutrition, Murad, Westcor, and a whole slew of other clients. I love to make things that matter.

Sonny Bunch liked Traitor a lot more than I did:
This is a movie sure to spark some controversy. Though one of the few films to portray radical Islam as a legitimate (if not existential) threat, it surely will madden some that the Jihadi terrorists whom Samir befriends are not cartoonish, cardboard cutouts. Their motivations are examined even as their behavior goes unexcused.
Really? It's not a terribly entertaining movie (certainly it's got nothing on the Bourne series) and, really, does anyone come away with any greater understanding of, well, anything after watching the film? That it heavy-handedly alludes to the most obvious and superficial motivations for terrorism does not, in my book, make it worthwhile.
Look, I appreciate that the movie made an attempt to portray terrorism in a way that's more thoughtful than an episode of 24 — it gets an A for intention (if not effort) — but I think I'd prefer Jack Bauer's dumb-plus-a-gun antics to Traitor's dreary moping pretty much any day of the week. It's not that a show like 24 is particular sharp or even particularly good, but what it does have is an appropriate sense of itself: 24 is a violent, stupid action-fantasy — and it knows it; Traitor is fully convinced it's saying something deep and important, but, I'm sorry to say, it's just not.

Christmas Wish by: Ishmael Eddington
(Part 1)
Once there was a boy named Ishmael and he had a bully named Sam Tomphson. Ishmael believed in Santa Claus but Sam didn't. Every where Sam would go, he saw pictures of Santa Clause on windows, stores, and etc… even at his house there were pictures of Santa Claus.
School was Sam's playground, especially at Christmas time. Every time he went to school he would beat up anyone who believed in Santa Clause and then call them crybabies. Sam's mother tried everything from, buying decorated cookies with Santa Claus, evergreen trees, reindeers, and elves. But still, Sam didn't believe in Santa Claus.
So Ishmael decided that his Christmas wish this year is for Sam to believe in Santa Clause. Ishmael wrote a note in cursive to Santa Clause. This boy once told Ishmael that if you write your letter to Santa in cursive that your wish is will come to come true. Two weeks past, and no word from Santa. Ishmael for sure Santa would reply.
Three days before Christmas there was a knock at the door. A tall, skinny man, name Tom was at the door. Ishmael opens the door and Tom hands him a letter. The letter was from Santa….
Did Santa make Ishmael's wish come true? Time to leave for Christmas break… We'll continue, January 5, 2010 when we come back from Christmas break to see if Ishmael's wish came true. Does Sam Tomphson believe?????

Episode 8: Primum Movens, Part I
Three weeks without incident. That had to be a record, right? Maybe there was something to the Pegasus Coalition having a hidden weapon up their sleeve.
Rodney McKay stared up through the stained glass window that held watch over the Atlantis Gateroom, barely able to discern the stars through the colored panes. Of course, moving out onto the balcony would show him just how many littered these skies, but he wasn't in the mood at the moment to ponder either the metaphorical or figurative wonders of the universe. The job he was about to do—a routine check he somehow managed to find himself a part of every month—would burst anyone's happy thought bubble. And given that this was the first time they'd gone, after the betrayal of the Pegasus Coalition—
"Rodney. Let's move."
The sudden interruption into his not-very-positive thought process sent a chill down his spine, the kind of one he generally got with impending doom hanging over their heads. Only the cause of this one wasn't something he could fix.
He turned around from the control panel he'd been mindlessly hovering over, staring into the face of Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard. It was almost the same face, still unfairly youthful for his age, as the Major thrust into command only a few days after they'd arrived here. Even with the years they'd spent saving and re-saving the Pegasus galaxy from any number of threats and horrors, nothing seemed to touch him. Enviable genetics.
John's expression darkened into a frown and Rodney snapped back into reality, that chill rising again. It wasn't age that was scoring the lines into the colonel's forehead or hollowing the circles beneath his eyes at the moment. It was something much more formidable than the Wraith or anything else they'd faced in Pegasus. Something that had turned John Sheppard away from his normally affable, if annoying, attitude to a dark and brooding rogue type. So much so his demeanor of the last few weeks made Ronon seem like Jar Jar Binks.
Something whacked itself against his shin and he yelped in surprise, looking down at Chuck, whose face was focused on his console. The only acknowledgement the tech gave after nearly dislocating Rodney's kneecap was a shooing motion with his hand, apparently deciding that part of his job now consisted of telling Rodney when to get the heck out of Atlantis.
Or, more likely, telling Rodney when to get Sheppard the heck out of Atlantis.
John was still staring at him, his expression unchanging. There was no amusement at Rodney's momentary moue of pain, or even at Chuck's causing it. There was nothing to spark those hazel eyes into any emotion at all. It reminded Rodney vaguely of an automaton, which was pretty much what Sheppard had been the last few weeks. He'd heard a few of the science crew had even taken to calling him Robo-Sheppard, which was better than on the military side, where he was being affectionately known as General Patton.
A second later the Colonel was jogging up the stairs to the Jumper Bay, which was his currently impolite and rather non-Sheppard-esque way of saying he was leaving Rodney behind.
Woolsey emerged from his office, giving Rodney a warning look, which finally prompted Rodney to move his aching shinbone and hustle after Sheppard.
When had he become the city's resident babysitter-slash-psychotherapist? Wasn't that Heightmeyer's job?
And yet, Rodney knew perfectly well the reason so many people were urging him on was that he was the only person Sheppard seemed to be able to abide in his social circle for more than five minutes. He knew most of the crew thought that strange, and to be perfectly honest, even Rodney really couldn't understand it completely. Okay, so he and Sheppard had a rapport, a sort of one-on-one, mano-a-mano thing. But in total sum of the time he'd hung around the colonel after what the Genii had done, he'd said maybe five words that had nothing to do with the job at hand? So how did that suddenly make him Samwise Gamgee to ring-cursed Frodo?
Jumper One was open, Sheppard in the pilot seat as Rodney hobbled in, working his way over to the co-pilot's seat. Sheppard was focused on flight prep and barely acknowledged his entering.
"Let's get this over with," Rodney muttered, flipping up his tablet. "I've got better things to do. Like reorganizing my sock drawer."
For one brief millisecond of a moment, something like a smile wavered on Sheppard's lips.
"This is Jumper One," he chanted in monotone into the com. "Is the Gate open?"
"You are clear for departure, Colonel. Coordinates are—"
The Colonel shut Chuck off unceremoniously and punched the lever for the Jumper to rise. The bay doors opened, and he descended the ship down into the Gateroom. Woolsey was watching, not from his usual spot by the inner balcony, but from the comfort of his office.
Rodney barely got a glimpse of them before Sheppard shot the Jumper through the wormhole, Atlantis vanishing in an instant. The effect of the journey was soothing to Rodney's eyes--nothing but the deep blackness of space once they'd exited the Gate, peppered only with starlight.
He knew better than to waste time, given Sheppard's mood as of late. "Given drift, they should be about twenty-five kilometers to the southeast, not much further than they were last time."
John was staring intently through the windshield in the direction Rodney had mentioned, a troubled look on his face. The ship was making its way there and even Rodney, once he'd glanced away from the equipment, had to admit he was puzzled.
Space, in front of them, was shining. It would be the dust-in-headlights effect, if the Jumper had regular headlights.
"What is that?"
"My first guess would be space dust?" Rodney murmured, looking at the Jumper's readings. Nothing unique so far, but the scanner was still calculating. His eyes jumped back to his tablet, which, to his surprise, showed them exactly twenty-five kilometers from the gate.
"Where is she?" Sheppard's face had melted into some semblance of an emotion, though frankly Rodney barely remembered what that looked like anymore. It might have been worth asking what exactly he was feeling, if it weren't for the more pressing matter at hand. And the fact that John, even on his best days, would never give a straight answer.
"Um…" Rodney re-focused his attention and tapped at his datapad. At the moment it showed nothing revealing. "Chuck did dial the right gate address, right?"
Just to gratify what was essentially the world's stupidest question, Sheppard punched up the coordinates. Exactly where they were supposed to be.
Where Elizabeth's replicators were supposed to be.
They'd checked on them every month, as a precaution, and minus minute shifts in drift, they'd been where they were supposed to be every time. Ever since the day she'd condemned herself and her group of followers to this fate.
Nothing should have changed.
Resorting to the non-thinking part of his brain for a moment, Rodney glanced out the Jumper windshield and stated the obvious. "They're supposed to be right here."
"Well, obviously, they're not." Sheppard said curtly. He turned to Rodney a moment later. "How concerned do I need to be?"
"That they were found? I mean, the chances of anyone finding them were astronomical to begin with. They'd have to come to one of the remotest parts of the galaxy, be looking for the Gate specifically, know where they'd drifted—it'd be like someone falling from space into the middle of the Pacific looking for a couple of toy dolls."
"Then you explain it!" John barked, then clenched his jaw. "They were here. Now, they're not here. You explain it!"
Rodney felt that chill again. "I…"
The Jumper flashed up data with a welcome interruption. Welcome for about two point five seconds. As Rodney scanned the data a part of him wanted to do what Sheppard had done right after he'd learned about the betrayal of Mayel—shut off, disappear, dissolve into robot status.
Days like this he really wished he could.
John obviously read what was on Rodney's face, because his eyes scoured the HUD and then drifted beyond the display to the cloud of space dust shimmering ever so slightly in the reflective light of the stars. "Rodney…"
"They are here," Rodney said. "They are exactly where they're supposed to be."
He tapped aimlessly on his datapad, pulling up the schematics for the nanites that had composed the replicators. Put a few million detached ones into space, held together by their own gentle gravity, you got a very nice dust cloud. "We're sitting right in the middle of them."
Sheppard's eyes widened, observing the cloud more closely, as though squinting and sitting forward would give him more answers. "All of them?"
Rodney swallowed. "I don't know."
"You don't know?" John's head snapped towards him, eyes narrowing.
"Is there an echo in here?" Rodney snapped back. He was suddenly tired of walking on eggshells. Not after what they'd just found. "You're not stupid. You think by staring through a windshield at billions of machines called 'nanites' for a reason, I'm going to be able to immediately tell which ones of them were her?"
The response seemed to snap Sheppard back into some semblance of humanity, whether angry or annoyed or sympathetic, and the dark expression disappeared.
Both of them sat in silence for a moment. Rodney glanced back at the datapad in his lap, which was giving more precise details on the physical structure of the nanites. There would be literally billions floating in this mess, given how many replicators had gone through the gate. Finding Elizabeth could take weeks, or months, or even years. Like combing through a DNA strand. Inhuman DNA.
He was avoiding the thousand pound gorilla in the Jumper, the one that, given all that had happened in the last few weeks, with Serrana, with the betrayal of the Pegasus Coalition, was the last kind of a reality they should have had to deal with. That, after all the rest of it, they'd now just lost the last semblance of someone they had trusted, someone they'd cared about. They'd lost the last chance of bringing Elizabeth home.
A loud crunching sound startled him a couple of feet out of his seat, and he looked over at Sheppard in surprise. The colonel was gritting his teeth, right hand cradled against his chest.
"Are you crazy?" Rodney stepped up out of the chair. He was pretty sure there'd be a fist size ding in the Jumper control panel were it not made of ding-proof metal. The look Rodney received in return would probably have scared a Wraith, but at the moment Rodney was too tired and far too upset, frankly, to care.
"Look, you want to go and engage yourself in self-flagellation? Fine. Do it to your heart's content when we get back. Better yet, go drown yourself in a Jumper for a half a day again. Right now, I need you to focus, because if you think I'm going to be the only one telling two-hundred plus people, the IOA and Stargate Command that we've lost Elizabeth, again…" he trailed off, looking away from Sheppard's rapidly swelling hand and collapsed back in his seat.
The glimmers from the space cloud of nanites around them began to blur. Great, so now his vision was unfocused. Low blood sugar, standing up too fast…
He was going to hate the look on Jennifer's face. She still blamed herself for Elizabeth's replicator condition. Not to mention Teyla. Teyla, who'd lost so much this year already.
"I'll tell them."
John clenched his teeth and then uncurled his injured fist, at first wincing noticeably with the pain, then slowly allowing the expression to slide back into that now so common automaton gaze. "I'll tell them. This was my job. My report. You didn't have to be here."
"I wanted to be here." Rodney looked down at the rendering of the nanite on his datapad. "I owed that to her."
"We owed her a hell of a lot more than that," John said softly. "But it doesn't matter now."
Rodney glanced up at him questioningly. Sheppard met his gaze with cold eyes.
"She'd dead. She's been dead for years, and we should have accepted that. This should have been the solution to this problem a long time ago. Now, at least, we don't have to worry about the threat. What we have to worry about is what caused it."
Rodney had to hack past a lump clogging his throat. "W-what?"
"Obviously someone with knowledge of replicators handled this. We just need to make sure that they're on our side. We'll piece it together back on Atlantis." John turned the ship back towards the Gate and began dialing the City coordinates.
"Piece it back together? We just lost…"
"A replicator, Rodney." John's head snapped back in his direction. "It always was a replicator."
"A replicator who saved our…"
"I don't care what she did!" The response was curt, and cold. "There was only one Elizabeth Weir, and she didn't make it off Lantea. Everything else was a lie. Maybe we fooled ourselves that it wasn't, but it was."
The ship was nosing towards the Gate rather swiftly. Rodney opened, then shut, his mouth, his head spinning.
Sheppard looked at him, expression softening for a second. "Trust your instincts, Rodney. You know I'm right."
"If I did," Rodney muttered, clenching his datapad to his chest, "I wouldn't be here."
"You didn't know this would happen."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"It's just…"
Sheppard keened his head towards Rodney quizzically. "Spit it out."
"If I'd known I'd run into as much lack of humanity inside the Jumper as out, I'd never have come. That's all."
As Sheppard turned to him, his eyes narrowing dangerously, the nose of the Jumper slid into the wormhole, dissolving everything around them.
Rodney gazed into the event horizon, knowing he'd just broken something not even the Stargate would be able to reconstruct.

"If" vs. "Is"
Regular readers know that I often write about what I call "therapeutic distinctions", pairs of words or concepts with similar meanings that contain important and even life-altering distinctions, or which initially seem to have little in common but which reveal valuable insights when examined more deeply. These distinctions can be crucial since the words we use influence the way we think, and even small conceptual differences can yield very large consequences.
The two words this article reflects upon are simply "If" and "Is". They are part of what I consider to be a larger discussion about what I call "fantasy addiction", which I believe is a characteristic shared by almost everyone. In short, fantasy addiction refers to the attempt (which is often very successful) to replace what is happening here and now with some imaginary scenario. People who habitually inhabit this kind of living daydream often become ultimately and chronically disappointed, frustrated, gullible, unfulfilled and ineffective in living a deeply meaningful life.
"If" can be a dangerous concept.
- "If I didn't catch so many red lights I would be there on time";
- "If my spouse hadn't discovered my affair we might still be married";
- "If I get this job I can pay my bills";
- "If I had studied harder I could have gotten better grades"; etc.
What's the big deal about such sentences, especially when their underlying premise is so often clearly evident? Isn't this just telling it "like it is"?.....or "could have been"?.....or "might be"?
Many times such reflections on the past, predictions of the future or conjectures about alternatives can help a person make wise decisions, learn from mistakes, and prepare for the possible. "If" can also be a reason to develop character, as is so movingly expressed in Kipling's inspiring poem of the same name. These are all clearly legitimate uses for considering the conditional perspective of "if".
But it's easy to be seduced by such thinking, and many people rely on it way too often. For them "if only" becomes a mantra of victimization and despair. "If" has a tendency to replace reality and responsibility with a world that never really exists. This is especially true when the "if" being considered is merely fanciful and doesn't lend itself to any true preparation or personal improvement. The sentence "If I had chosen differently my life would be better now" may be theoretically true, but without a productive outcome it is worse than useless -- it is detrimental or even outright destructive.
There is fundamentally only one productive outcome for such use of "If", which is to find its way to "Is".
"Is" defines reality. "Is" occupies here. "Is" exists now. Nothing can be changed unless it is accepted for what it is, not for what it might have been or could be. In this sense the over-used phrase "it is what it is" is simultaneously both simplistic and profound depending on where it leads. Take away the wish, the embellishment, the delusion, the hope, the lie....and what is left is simply what is, no more or less.
Often "if" can be a stirring call of great vision, or a passageway to deepened appreciation. But we must remember always who and where we are at this moment. All action and awareness occurs only in the here and now, and a person who constantly squanders such a precious gift for the "low high" of frequent and recurring fantasy will not have the clarity, judgment and personal power that a serene and richly satisfying life requires. In all cases the proper use of "if" is to lead us back to "is". If you had a different past, or were someone else, things would be different.
But the time is now, and you are here.

Hey Everyone!
Wow, It's been a long time! Sorry I've been away for so long. Lots of stuff has been going on in my very busy Senior year! So far school is going really good! I am absolutely loving English class! We are reading the book Night by Elie Weisel, and through discussion in class, God is opening up so many doors for me to witness to my class! It is so awesome!
I am going to be one of the female youth leaders for the tween group at my church. I got my drivers license on Thursday last week. I am hopefully going to get a job and then of course-as I said-lots of school. I sent my first college application in last Wednesday, too. So, If you could pray that the Lord's will be done in that area, I would be forever grateful!
Well, that is all in my busy little world!
Hope everything is going well with y'all!
I'll post again soon!

Posted a short blurb a few weeks about some ongoing sciatic pains in my back... sought out the opinion of my primary care physician (Dr. Pico) and was assigned physical therapy for a few weeks.
That's been going ok I guess. The pain has subsided... but I will occasionally have some evenings where it hurts like shit and I just get through the night. Anyhoo, while there I also had some dreaded blood work done and feared that I would get dealt the diabetic card.
Surprise/Surprise = I got the beetees.
My dad has it and if I remember correctly, he had an older sister (Lupe, RIP) who also had a case of the beetees too - so this is a family affair. I also happen to know that I haven't exactly made some of the best dietary decisions in life either - so I wasn't really all that surprised by the diagnosis.
What I was however surprised to find out was that after being diagnosed - you're kinda handed a pamphlet and prescribed Metformin to sort out your blood sugar. My doctor naturally forgot to update me on my x-rays for my back... my visit (3 weeks after blood tests) was to review my lab work.
This is where shit gets sideways for me.
- I don't really go about my day feeling any "diabetic" effects.
- I saw my blood results online the day after I took them and googled some of the numbers I found to be suspicious... It took me all but 5 minutes to know I had the beetees.
- How is it ok for me to be walking around with the beetees for nearly a month and not be called in sooner?
So I'm in the process of getting a meeting scheduled with a person (maybe a nurse/maybe a dr.) who is going to give me the 101 on Beetees. I think we're going to talk about diet and confirm that my want for honeybuns is a thing of the past. This isn't all that big of a deal tho', We've made a lot of dietary changes in recent months - so this is no big woop. I just don't really know when I'm supposed to start with the blood sugar tests and stuff. I wasn't prescribed any insulin, so my fear of sticking needles into my leg and belly have gone away for now. I believe I will need however to prick my fingers tho and do the blood strip thing.
2016 is off to an amazing start.

Wichita isn't boring, but how about that bumper sticker?
As co-owner of Stamp Yo Face, Kevin Wildt is known for his creativity.
However, through his We Are Wichita website, he has created a bumper sticker to advertise that "Wichita is not boring," but it's – how to put this politely? – a little boring.
"You know, it's funny that you say that," Wildt says. "I actually had the same thought."
The site is designed to promote Wichita artists and entrepreneurs. The "boring" bumper sticker is one of several things, such as T-shirts and artist collaborations, that he sells.
"It's a means to bring in revenue to help keep the site alive and the content alive … and just offer cool things that promote Wichita," Wildt says.
This is his first bumper sticker.
"The statement's been in my head for quite a while," Wildt says.
He means it as a statement to Wichita residents, and it's coming from something of a defensive posture.
"It seems like Wichita's worst critics are often people who live here."
Wildt almost went with something bolder. He thought about "If Wichita's boring, you're boring," but he says, "I thought that's too aggressive."
Like the We Are Wichita site, which is done in stark black and white, Wildt says, with this bumper sticker he was "going for something really simple and minimal."
It was only after he created it that he realized the sticker's look could be perceived to match its message.
"I did not even think about the two tying together," he says. "I haven't really dissected the thought of what people might see when they look at the design. It's an interesting thought."
Rather than being insulted by a reporter's question about how boring the sticker might be, Wildt appreciates the opportunity to get people talking about how Wichita is not boring. He says he hopes it will serve as encouragement for people to get involved and seek opportunities the city has.
"The bumper stickers aren't meant to be a movement or a big campaign. They are simply an experiment," Wildt says.
"I just want people to think about it."

Many of our Raika friends are still uncertain whether they will take the trouble to go - actually they have been asking us to take their camels along, because they fear it may not be worth their time and effort due to the planned legislation stopping movement of camels across Rajasthan's borders. A new website has been launched by LPPS that calls for a different approach to saving Rajasthan's camels.

Thursday Review: Spring break
It's been a pretty quiet week thus far. No doubt many took the rest of the week off after the bank holiday to enjoy the school Spring break with their children, although with the rain we've had they're probably regretting it.
OK, there have been a couple of new judgments, but they have been of the 'published because of transparency guidance' sort, rather than because they are of any real interest, save to those involved.
We did have the story in The Independent of the letter that Grant Thornton's lawyers wrote to Mr Justice Moor, criticising him for his findings in the Young case. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of Mr Justice Moor's chambers when he read that. I would also be very interested to read his 'robust response'. Incidentally, the story informs us that Michelle Young is still awaiting her £20 million lump sum. Now there's a surprise.
Otherwise, I enjoyed this article by Rachel Rothwell in the Gazette, in which she argues that the government should fix the courts system, rather than continually push ADR. I couldn't agree more. ADR is not a panacea, a cheap alternative to court. As she says, compromise isn't always appropriate: "sometimes one party really is entirely in the right, and they need their day in court to have their position vindicated, and their costs paid by their opponent". In any event, the issue has never been about those people who settle their disputes outside of court (they have of course always done this, long before the initialism 'ADR' was first coined) - the issue is those cases that can't be settled, where the court is required to step in. If we don't have a court system to do this, how will such disputes be resolved? As one of the commenters to the article says, it's time for the government to stop flogging the dead horse of mediation as a direct alternative to court.
And that is about it. If you're on holiday, enjoy the rest of your break (hopefully the sun will make a late appearance). If you're not on holiday, enjoy the coming weekend anyway.

Reggie Grooms was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1900. He was a well known painter, lithographer, lecturer, and educator. His father was a well known wood engraver who had prepared the engravings for illustrations by Henry Farny for McGuffey's Eclectic Reader. At the age of four, Reggie began painting in watercolor. His father used to work with him every Sunday afternoon. At the age of eight, Reggie began painting in oils. He continued to study art throughout high school and college. In 1923, he went to Europe to study painting at the Academie Julian in Paris. While in Paris he exhibited in the Spring Salons of both 1924 and 1925. The New York Times reported that he was the youngest American exhibiting in those shows. In 1925, Reggie was called back to Cincinnati to teach at the Cincinnati Art Academy and the University of Cincinnati School of Applied Arts. He taught painting at these schools for 46 years. Reggie took several painting trips to Spain, France, Ireland, Canada, California, New England, and the South. He had over 33 one-man shows during his life time. He influenced many artists and was respected by many. He died in 1989.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children visit the orthodontist for the first time by the age of seven. Don't worry, this doesn't necessarily mean your child will leave the office in braces. It's an opportunity for us to examine your child's teeth and jaws, observe their development and let you know when the time is right to start treatment. We watch for any red flags and always keep parents informed throughout the process.
The Benefits of Early Treatment
Since a young child's permanent teeth haven't finished erupting, we're able to thoroughly evaluate the front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships and detect emerging problems such as potential crowding, underbites, overbites, crossbites and open bites. If we uncover any issues, by addressing them early, treatment can be much easier and less expensive down the road and your kiddo can avoid the need for surgery or extractions as an adult. Plus, intervening in childhood allows us to offer treatments like Invisalign in adolescence.
Interceptive Treatment Options
If necessary, we develop a personalized treatment plan just for your child and walk you through all of the details. The course of action varies depending on their needs. We often refer to this interceptive treatment as two-phase treatment. Phase I occurs while the patient still has baby teeth and could involve a round of removable or fixed appliances to prevent or correct a problem or direct jawbone growth. This is followed by a resting period and then braces or Invisalign as a teenager for Phase II. This first phase typically lasts about 12 to 21 months and can:
- Increase your little one's self esteem
- Remedy crowding so the teeth can erupt properly
- Save space for the permanent teeth
- Create facial symmetry
- Prevent tooth impaction
- Correct a range of issues including crossbites
Having Phase I and Phase II treatment, in many cases, can lead to the most lasting, stable results. The only way to know if early treatment is right for your child is to schedule a free consultation. Our kid-friendly office and personable team will put them at ease and ensure they have a fantastic experience and even more fantastic results.

The last day of school vacation, with sun in the forecast, and me and my besties were all single-parenting it for the day. What's a mom to do but team up?
Our texts to each other looked like this:
"What do you want to do Sunday?"
"I don't care as long as it's outside."
"Where.""Anywhere as long as it's outside."
With the temps not promising to rise above 50 we packed some warm stuff and headed to the beautiful spread of land on Field's Pond. Hiking trails, space to picnic and a pond with a thatch of beach protected from the chilly wind. What more do you need?
A pack of kids ready to hit the trails:
(No, it definitely wasn't shorts weather but Reed has his own, independent thermostat.)
Check out Beckett who trailed happily behind.
Once again I wonder how these kids keep growing like the weeds in a May garden.
For the third time in a week I marveled that I was at the stage of parenting where my kids had the stamina to be on foot for an extended period. And once again, I was fed by the hushed peace of the woods.
It has a tendency to attract attention.
Yes. Please and thank you.
The kids set up a store once again, with experience and new contributions lending to a more sophisticated approach. Skyler fashioned a cashier stand complete with a conveyer belt. I paid 20 pine cones for a few shells, an old brick and a fancy rock. A steal if you ask me.

7-8 cups vegetable broth
16 oz dried split peas
1 medium onion, quartered
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 ½ cups fresh spinach
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tsp. Liquid Smoke
Add all ingredients to slow cooker, and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. When soft, remove the bay leaf, and put the rest of the soup in a blender (in batches) and blend until smooth. Add more water or vegetable broth if soup is too thick.
This recipe also works well in a pressure cooker. Add all ingredients to the cooker. Set on high pressure for 10 minutes. Then proceed with other steps.

Maggie has been working in the area of food and farming for more than a decade, starting in college when she lived and worked on an urban farm. Maggie spent 5 years at the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA—sponsor of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco) where she managed educational projects. In 2010, she finished a Master's in food policy at Tufts University and began working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, where she served as a National Farm to School Program Analyst. Now she's a food systems consultant at Dicot Workshop, and a pursuer of creative projects, like The Local Foods Wheel!
Maggie's favorite season for local produce is spring, when she enjoys making open-faced sandwiches with nettles and cheese.
Maggie was raised in Santa Barbara and now lives in San Francisco.
Sarah Klein
All of the local foods icons on the wheels are original hand-drawings by artist Sarah Klein.
Sarah has exhibited her work widely both across the country and around the globe in galleries, museums, on television and in film festivals. She incorporates her creative work with her culinary interests by teaching workshops, cooking camps and classes at numerous venues. One of Sarah's favorite artistic themes is the process of making naturally leavened bread, and she collaborated with the musical group Orange Sherbet to create a series of children's music videos. You can learn more about her work and her projects at the websites www.sarahklein.com and www.stopandgoshow.com.
Sarah's favorite season for local produce is early summer when she enjoys picking apricots and making jam.
Sarah was raised in San Francisco where she currently lives.

Jessica is a professional chef and author of the book Full Moon Feast: Food and the Hunger for Connection from Chelsea Green Publishing. In 2005 she co-founded Locavores, where she helps sponsor an annual Eat Local Challenge. In 2006 she and four business partners opened Three Stone Hearth: A Community Supported Kitchen in West Berkeley.
