Local teens with heart disease raising awareness, helping others
By KATE LUDLOW
For two local teens, the term Congenital Heart Defect might be a misnomer. Each was born with a heart issue that has caused them separate, but similar grief, and yet each has managed to turn their diseases around with surprising aplomb.
Caleb Spearman, a seventh grader at Liberty Hill Junior High, had an idea. Born with Pulmonary Atresia, a heart defect in which the pulmonary valve does not form properly, he had undergone three surgeries in his life and knew what a stay in the hospital was like.
"It's really boring," said Caleb. "There was sort of one room I stayed in. We had some entertainment, dogs would come around, Golden Retrievers. And a puppet show. Sometimes, a toy cart would come around. That's where I got the idea."
Caleb decided that he would organize a toy drive with donations going to Dell Children's Medical Center. The only problem was, he hadn't really asked his parents.
"I went to see Mr. (Chad) Pirtle (LHJH Principal). He was in a meeting. So, I walked out and called my mom. I just explained what I was doing. My mom said, 'don't you think we ought to talk about this first?' I told her I was already about to talk to Mr. Pirtle. So she just said okay. She worries a lot," Caleb said, laughing.
It was Caleb's initiative that has garnered the most attention.
"The fact that a seventh grade student can organize this says a lot," said Assistant Principal Annette Coe. "It shows a lot of drive and determination. People say a lot of things about kids today. Well, this brings your faith back in kids."
Once permission was secured from the school, Caleb got to work making signs promoting the drive, and offering the homeroom class that collected the most toys an ice cream and cookie party. Monday night, Caleb and his parents made the cookies themselves.
"They're chocolate chip," said Caleb.
All the toys have been collected, 336 total, and Lisa Roberts' homeroom class collected the most.
"I didn't expect to have this much," says Caleb. "It's a lot. There's a good variety."
While Caleb's life has been marred by surgeries and doctor visits, his daily routine is relatively simple.
"I take an aspirin every day. Only half my heart works. One of the sides doesn't function properly," he said. "The right or the left, I don't know. I should probably know that. But, my blood needs to be thinner. That's what the aspirin does."
Caleb also visits the doctor every six months for checkups.
His physical limitations are huge for a young boy.
"I can't play football. I can't run. I had to stop playing baritone. I would get really short of breath. I can't ride a lot of the rides at Schlitterbahn or Six Flags. The ones with the steep drops or that could go upside down. I can't really do anything that will tire me out," he said, adding that he has replaced those activities with the piano. "I love to play the piano. I play the fast stuff. The slow stuff can get boring.
"Sometimes, it's scary. But I'm a Christian," he said. "It always helps to pray."
He takes comfort in turning his illness into an opportunity to give back.
"I think it is a responsibility. It's doing good. I'm proud," he said.
On Jan. 31, Caleb and his family attended a Liberty Hill City Council meeting where the Council proclaimed Feb. 7-14 as Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week. The idea came from Jennifer Lepp, whose son Jacob Bryan was diagnosed with Subaortic Stenosis when he was two years old.
Jacob was born with a heart murmur. But at the time, it was nothing that the doctors were too concerned about. When Jacob was age two, the murmur became louder, and that's when Mrs. Lepp says everything changed.
"He never turned blue, he never passed out. We were really thinking it wouldn't be that big a deal. We were recommended to a cardiologist, and that was a four-hour appointment. We got the diagnosis that day," she said.
Subaortic Stenosis is a lesion beneath the aortic valve that limits blood flow. The result is, in Mrs. Lepp's words, "like squeezing a hose. It speeds up the blood flows which hit the leaflets (parts of the aortic valve) too hard, and over time it can cause damage or destroy the leaflets."
When Jacob was two years old, he had his first open-heart surgery.
"He grew up always having a zipper, the scar from his surgery," she said. They are so-called because they resemble a huge zipper down the front of the patient's chest.
Since that time, Jacob has had two more surgeries, the last being in August 2011 when he received his pacemaker. A pacemaker works as a backup "electrical system" when the heart can't or won't regulate its beating.
"It's basically a computer mouse with a long cord," Mrs. Lepp said. "It's got everything programmed in. We can do something called a Pacemaker Interrogation, which will give us all the information we need at that time. It's pretty weird. Jacob has learned that he can 'hack' his heart. If he wants extra energy, he can breathe really fast, and the pacemaker will kick in. He'll also use it sometimes to try to get out of cleaning his room. The first time he did it, it just scared the heck out of me," says Mrs. Lepp, proving that young boys will do just about anything to avoid chores.
In 2007, Jacob's family was eligible for a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Jacob had what some might consider an odd request for a then 9-year-old boy. He wanted to meet late night comedian Stephen Colbert.
"We didn't even know he watched the show. We would DVR (record) it, and apparently he would watch it later. He thought it was just the most hilarious stuff," she said.
Mrs. Lepp said that Colbert and his staff were extremely welcoming.
"It was amazing. He got to watch the taping, and meet him afterwards. Even now, five years later, we still get cards and care packages. We get huge boxes of stuff. We have a shrine in our house built to Colbert," she said.
Jacob also deals with serious physical limitations.
"We had to change his school, and essentially do a homeschool program. His last school couldn't remember what his limitations are, so they had him out there running. It could have killed him," she said.
"Last year was rough," she added. "It was the first year it really hit Jacob that this is something that will always be there. It's hard for them to realize at that age that anything can kill you."
Mrs. Lepp said she and her family cope in various ways. "Jacob goes to a therapist. It's good for him. I'm involved in a CHD support group." Mrs. Lepp also writes about her experience dealing with CHD on her blog, http://scattershot.jenlepp.com
Mrs. Lepp also works toward mandatory pulse oximetry screenings.
"That's what the proclamation was for. To raise awareness, and I write letters trying to get this screening process in every hospital," she said.
Pulse oximetry screenings can be given to newborns before they leave the hospital.
"They're so cheap and easy. It's just a clip you put on a baby's finger. It doesn't hurt them. I don't understand why it isn't mandatory," she said. For more information, visit http://pulseoxadvocacy.com.
"Most of the time, CHD is undiagnosed. Jacob has no signs," she said. "You think about crib death, and how many of those babies could have had a heart condition. But you don't find out until your child has died. That's happens too many kids, too many kids."

Today, most homes have an HVAC system. However, not many know that it must be maintained well to ensure that it lasts for a long time. An annual inspection by a HVAC professional is the most important step you can take to maintain your machine.
An HVAC unit generally lasts 10-15 years depending on your usage. However, if it is maintained well, you can expect better life expectancy. With regular servicing, you will not only get better value for your money, but will also continue to receive the performance that you want from your machine.
Without proper maintenance, you are likely to face a lot of issues while using your system. It is only with the help of a certified technician that you can get better performance from your system, and can be assured of getting the comfort you are looking for.
One important reason why you should opt for HVAC maintenance is also because it will save you money in the long run. Some people may think that it is not important to spend on repairs and maintenance. However, the truth is that if you try to save on maintenance now, you may have to spend even more on replacements later on.
To maintain your HVAC unit, remember to hire only certified professionals. Your heating and cooling system is a complex machine that must be handled only by trained and experienced experts.
Avoid the temptation to repair your system yourself as this can lead to further damage. Also, you run the risk of hurting yourself in the process. A professional is best suited to deal with the complexities of an HVAC system.
For the best quality heating system repair, you can hire quality companies such as Natals Air Conditioning. With over 42 years of experience in the industry, we are fully equipped to handle all your heating, ventilation and air conditioning needs. Call to schedule an appointment today.

Mindful Monday Returns!
by Monique Koll DVM
Do you know what mindfulness is? It is "the psychological process of bringing one's attention to the internal experiences occurring in the present moment, which can be developed through the practice of meditation and other training."
It has been proven to be a valuable practice for improving the cognitive symptoms of depression, such as distorted thinking and distractibility. It helps individuals recognize these more subtle symptoms, realize that thoughts are not facts and refocus their attention to the present.
Meditation is a way to practice mindfulness, which can be difficult when you're distressed, as it is hard to break that one-way train of thought. I find that guided meditations are a great entry point in a way to start practicing mindfulness, and Tara Brach was recommended to me by a double-Mastered practicing mental health specialist. Here is a link to her website and some of her meditations.

KEENE, N.H. - The Keene State College men's basketball team extended their winning streak to eight games after making a season-high 15 threes in a 78-77 victory over Western Connecticut State University in Little East action Wednesday night at Spaulding Gymnasium.
- Keene State: 16-7, 11-3 LEC
- Western Connecticut: 14-8, 8-5 LEC
How It Happened
Ty Nichols was the lone Owl in double-figures, as he finished with 21 points, seven assists and two steals. Three others finished with nine points, including Paul Mahon, who made 3-of-4 from long range and tossed in four assists and a steal. James Anozie had nine points and four rebounds, and Miguel Prieto also had nine points on 3-of-6 long distance shooting to go along with six assists, three rebounds and two steals for KSC, who was 10th in the initial regional rankings released earlier Wednesday. WestConn had four double-figure scorers and was led by Aaron Samuel's 17 points and seven rebounds.
Keene State started strong, as they got three balls from Edwin Ezedonmwen and Mahon in the opening three minutes to lead 10-5. Anozie also scored twice inside during the surge. The Colonials hung around, scoring four straight points to get within 12-10, but KSC stayed out in front, as it was Prieto's turn to can a triple that put the Owls up six at the 13:20 mark. Keene State managed only that many points over the next seven minutes, though, and watched WCSU go on a 16-6 tear that provided the visitors a lead after Fenton Bradley Jr.'s dunk with 6:46 to go. Trailing 26-22 after a three-point play from Geary McLeod, the Owls roared back, scoring 18 of the next 20 points for a 40-28 lead as the half wound down. Anozie's two free throws put the Owls back ahead, and KSC was eventually up 34-28 with just less than two minutes to go after consecutive layups from Nyzair Rountree and Sidi Diallo. Triples from Nichols and Prieto capped the uprising before two Colonial free throws in the final 12 seconds made it 40-30 at halftime.
Keene State appeared to pull away in the opening eight minutes of the second half, as Anozie converted inside before Mahon connected from distance for a 45-33 lead with 16:44 left. Triples from Tony Harris and Kyle Santoro stretched the home team's lead to a game-high 16 (54-38) less than four minutes later, but WestConn made a game of it down the stretch, as they scored eight consecutive points to chop the deficit in half with 11:17 to go, and were within 58-52 after Tracy Cleckley Jr.'s layup with just over eight minutes left. Mahon drained another trey to stop the Colonials' momentum and put the Owls up nine, but the visitors kept coming, making it a one possession game at 61-59 with still six minutes on the clock. KSC, as they did all night, relied on the long ball to ward off WestConn. Ezedonmwen connected from distance after an offensive rebound on the next trip to put the hosts back up five, and Nichols did the same with just over four minutes to go, making it 69-62. He was at it again two minutes later, as another three-point make made it 72-65 with 2:09 to go. The Colonials pressured and forced turnovers as they made a last ditch comeback attempt, with Samuel scoring four straight points to make it a three-point game (72-69) with 50 seconds remaining. Keene State held on, though, as Harris helped Jordan Haywood beat the defense down the floor for a layup. Harris and Nichols then made two from the charity stripe for a 78-73 edge with 28 seconds to go. WCSU forced a turnover after being fouled on the next possession and got a three from Ahmod Privott to make it a one-point game with two ticks on the clock, but the Owls beat the press on the inbound and salted away their eighth straight win.
Inside the Paint
- KSC made a season-high 15 threes in the game while shooting them at a 50% clip. WestConn made just 6-of-23 from deep. The long ball was needed for the hosts, as they took a season-low 47 field goal attempts (25-of-47, 53%).
- The Owls last won eight in a row in 2014-15 when they opened the season with that many consecutive victories.
- Keene State's win helps them keep pace with Eastern Connecticut State University and UMass Dartmouth, who were also victorious tonight, in the conference race. The Owls can clinch the top seed in the conference and tournament hosting privileges by winning their final two regular season games.
Up Next
- KSC visits Rhode Island College on Saturday, February 9 for a 3:00 pm tip-off.
- WestConn goes to rival Eastern Connecticut on the same day and time.

Due to some unexpected travel I have to do for our move, I will be closing down the shop at the end of the month instead of on the 9th as previously noted. (I'll update my last post to reflect this change.) I'll be accepting orders thru January 31st and shutting down at 12:00 AM on February 1st.
ALL ORDERS WILL BE FILLED AND SHIPPED BEFORE I PACK UP MY OFFICE. (This is part of the reason I'm shutting down a few weeks from my actual move. I want to have time to get all the orders out the door before I have to pack everything up.) So, if you want to place an order, please do not hesitate. It will ship before February 25th. GUARANTEED.
I'm still hoping to re-open sometime in mid-March, so keep your eyes peeled for the official date!
Again, I want to thank you all for sticking with me through my crazy military life. Luckily, this should be our last move for a very long while, so I'm thoroughly excited.

Your Computer's Audio Connections
Computer audio involves both output and input connections. No matter how sophisticated your PC's sound system, audio connections — both input and output — are made by plugging things into the appropriate jacks in the console, connecting your input and output devices to your computer:
Audio input: Supplied by a microphone.
A microphone connects to the computer's microphone jack by using a standard audio mini-DIN connector.
Audio output: Supplied by headphones, left-right speakers, or full-on-wake-up-the-neighbors surround sound.
Both headphones and speakers use the Line Out, headphone, or speakers jack. Speakers may also need to be plugged into the wall for more power.
The Line In connector is used to connect any non-amplified sound source, such as your stereo, VCR, or phonograph — or a tiny dog waiting inside a parked car or another noise-generating device.
If your PC sports SPDIF connectors, you can optionally use digital audio devices for your computer sound. The digital audio devices must also have SPDIF connectors, and you must use special (and not cheap) fiber optic cable to connect these high-end toys:
Plug optical audio input cables into the computer's SPDIF In connection. To use the computer's optical audio output, plug the cable into the SPDIF Out connector.
Be careful not to bang, touch, or taunt the clear glass ends of the optical cable. Better cables come with little protective caps that you can keep on the ends when the cable isn't connected.

I have discovered the secret of saving money feeding babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Well, I can't take the credit for it. My mom taught it to me many years ago but I didn't put it into practice until the first financial crisis we had when my husband was laid off.
What I have been practicing now for many years has now become one of the new buzz phrases — "portion control". Usually when we think of portion control it is in connection with dieters and not young children or saving money.
Most American parents serve themselves and their children huge portions of food. Their families eat only part of it, and then they discard the rest. Next time you scrape those half eaten plates of food into the trash, think about this: 30% to 50% of the food and drinks we buy, whether we eat at home or out, get thrown away. If you don't believe it's true, observe your own family this week. How many half full bowls of soggy cereal do you throw away? What about half empty glasses of juice, milk or pop?
It is easy to forget that children under the age of four have only about a quarter of an adult's body weight. Often, we feed them adult portions and when we do give them smaller portions, each portion is usually only reduced to about half an adult portion. Do you use that large serving spoon and dump a full spoon of food on your child's plate? Say you give yourself two spoons of green beans and your child one– That means that you have given yourself about 24 green beans and your child 12 when in reality, that child needs only about six.
When deciding how much food to give your kids, start small and work your way up. Remember, if they eat what is on their plates you can always give them more.
Use the same method for drinks. Even a small sippy cup should only be filled half full. This not only reduces the amount that you throw away, but also reduces the losses from spills.
Another great way to save a lot of money is to give children more water. In addition to serving children overly large portions, failing to give them enough water leads to obesity. At this point, many parents point out that young children need lots of milk and juice. That is true to a degree, but consider this: The USDA recommends 12 oz of milk per day for children under 4. That is equal to two sippy cups. Don't forget that kids get milk from other sources too, including milk with their cereal and cheese.
We think the more juice and milk they get the better, but once kids have had as much as they need nutritionally, the rest just adds calories.
If you are ready to cut the waste from your food budget, here are a few more tips to save money and make your life easier:
- Cut the crust off your child's sandwich before you give it to him. I have tried for years to get my children and grandchildren to eat the crust and have discovered that it is like trying to climb Mount Everest. It can be done, but I'm not sure if it is worth all the work and headache. So give in and cut off the crust. Throw it in a bag and use it for bread crumbs or croutons. Then the kids will eat their entire sandwiches instead of just that hole in the middle and you won't waste the sandwich filling that would have been tossed with the crust.
- Cut kids' sandwiches into small squares or triangles. Their hands are smaller then ours. Imagine always manhandling sandwiches that are two to three times normal size and you can relate to kids with full adult-sized sandwiches. This goes for all their food. Cut anything they have to hold in their hands into manageable sized pieces.
- Spills always happen, but they can be minimized. Try placing a paper doily at the top of your child's plate or someplace where you know a cup won't be likely to spill. Then teach the child that the cup belongs on the doily.
- Start giving your little ones only half of items like candy bars, gum, and popsicles. When you go out to eat, split a hamburger or order of fries between two younger children. You can even ask for an extra cup and split milk shakes and drinks.
- Control snacks. Don't just let the kids graze all day on candy and chips. Give children healthier things to fill them up, like popcorn or a piece of fruit at specific time intervals.
- Feed toddlers and preschoolers your leftovers. They usually don't balk at them like older children do. All those two tablespoon leftovers that are hardly worth saving are usually just the right amount for younger children.

I have written (for example in my article titled 'India's Technological and Economic Emancipation' in my blog titled 'Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.' : http://nuclearsupremacyforindiaoverus.blogspot.com ) about the continued control of Indian intelligence agencies by British and later American intelligence agencies after 1947. India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) was split off from the Intelligence Bureau which had continued after 1947 to be loyal to the British. Later the Americans supplanted the British and RAW functions as a branch of the CIA against India. As part of this relationship, CIA-RAW exercises extensive control over the Indian media and, among its various activities, engages in sabotage of indigenous research and development to keep India dependent on other countries for defence and other equipment (the nuclear deal is just another CIA-RAW operation of that kind, though of a scope and with consequences far graver than any such operation till now).
An example of this is a Bharat-Rakshak discussion thread about a black box installed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in the indigenously developed Arjun tank that documented the sabotage of its engines during trials by the Army; such sabotage has been the basis of the Army's rejection, on RAW's prompting, of the Arjun tank in favour of imports (as I said in the above article, India's Army is the collaborator Army that helped the British rule India and, even after Independence, all its regiments and units have retained their former identities and regularly celebrate the anniversaries of their founding by the British). A CIA-RAW operative, who serves as a moderator on Bharat-Rakshak and controls the forum, recently locked away this discussion thread so that numerous posts that had appeared documenting the sabotage of the Arjun tank were covered up. The major metropolitan newspapers, on most of which CIA-RAW exercises extensive control, have made no mention of the black box -- which was like the flight data recorder in aircraft -- installed by DRDO in Arjun tanks and the shocking findings about the sabotage even though a report on this was provided to them by the Indo Asian News Service (IANS).
There is across the board sabotage by various means by CIA-RAW to keep India down technologically, economically and militarily. RAW's grip over India is comparable to the old KGB's grip over the Soviet Union, with the difference that whereas the KGB worked for the good of the Soviet Union, except toward the end, RAW has always worked for its imperialist paymasters. The role of politicians in governing India is insignificant compared to that of CIA-RAW but RAW has no place in the public's consciousness or in discussions of public affairs in India.
An important point about the sabotage of Arjun is that people on the Arjun discussion thread on Bharat-Rakshak were aghast at the Army's behavior and calling for Army brass being tried for treason, etc. but it will be a mistake to stop with the Army; it is RAW which is behind such sabotage not just of Arjun but of India's interests, technological, economic and other, in a lot of areas. RAW has operatives in the Army at various levels but it is necessary to go to the root of the problem. RAW has to be destroyed and I have suggested that a brand new external intelligence agency be formed with the help of military intelligence (RAW is supposed to be India's external intelligence agency but at least 90% of its activities are within India, against India).
The destruction of RAW does not mean simply disbanding the agency and letting its employees continue their service to the CIA through other organisations, old or new, or in other roles. It is a mammoth agency with just the number of joint secretaries in the hundreds. It is India's real 'government' and the politicians and civil servants largely obey its dictates. It puts the words in the mouths of cabinet ministers, etc., and determines most policies that are, erroneously, attributed to them. Any one, even a prime minister, whom CIA-RAW considers inconvenient is eliminated, if necessary by death, as I have said regarding the deaths of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and, later, Rajiv Gandhi in my article titled 'How India's economy can grow 30% per year' in my blog titled 'Nuclear Supremacy For India Over US' on blogspot ( http://nuclearsupremacyforindiaoverus.blogspot.com )which can be found by doing a Google search with the words: nuclear supremacy India Satish.
Over the past many years, I have shown how almost all terrorist incidents in India since 1983 have been carried out by outfits controlled by the CIA either directly or through intelligence agencies in the region, including India's RAW. The Jain Commision of Inquiry, which went into Rajiv Gandhi's death, acknowledged that the LTTE, which carried out his assassination, was created and controlled by RAW. It was an open secret that MQM, in Pakistan's Sindh province, when it was known as a terrorist organization, was a creation of RAW. But the same is true of many terrorist outfits that operate in India.
Another example of RAW's multifarious activities, that I have described in press releases, articles and letters to the press since 1987, is its spreading heroin addiction and AIDS first in India's Northeast then elsewhere to provide the United States with a population to use as guinea pigs for AIDS vaccine development, after the CIA was assigned the task of roping in a population for this purpose. I have described how both Rajiv Gandhi (after being blackmailed with threats of exposure of the Bofors and HDW kickbacks by Swedish and German media at the CIA's instigation) and Vajpayee cooperated in this. But terrorism, etc., are the least of its activities; I mentioned those only because the existence of terrorism is publicly known. Its sabotage of India's research and development activities, of which the sabotage of the Arjun tank is just one example, is among the deadliest of its activities.
The nuclear deal and its various aspects -- replacing indigenous production of uranium and reactors with imports, the capping, rollback and elimination of India's nuclear weapons program, media control and buying up politicians, scientists, etc. for this purpose -- is just the largest and deadliest of such activities, leaving out the 24-hour satellite surveillance and all the crimes, at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year for the past 31 years, against India's greatest scientist, described in my article titled 'How India's economy can grow 30% per year'. The point is that all the tens of thousands of RAW employees are guilty of the gravest treason and deserve the death penalty. So do all those -- politicians, civil servants and others -- who are willing collaborators of CIA-RAW.

Milkhaus Design
For the past few weeks I've been trying to re-commit myself to a healthier eating plan. In addition to cutting out carbs and processed foods, I'm cutting coffee and switching back to peppermint tea. I sorely miss my morning coffee, so I've been trying to create a new morning routine that will distract me from missing the old one. One of the things I treated myself to was a new set of tea towels/napkins that make the tea process feel like a more substantial ritual. I'm on the hunt for a little tray that I can use for the teapot and cup now, but so far the pretty napkins have been a nice way to start the day with tea and breakfast. During my hunt for napkins I came across these bold graphic options (which are technically tea towels, but I'd use them as folded napkins) from Milkhaus Design and bookmarked them for later. I love the simple color palette — they'd be perfect for a simple dinner at home or a nice dinner party in. Click here to check out the full selection and style range and to shop online (each towel is 17" x 25" and 100% linen). xo, grace

It's no secret that the record industry is in a state of emergency; it has been in crisis-mode for several years. The industry witnessed the rapid demise of many of the major record labels like Capitol Records, leaving in its aftermath only a handful of majors still carrying the flag of perseverance. But what of this perseverance matters to the millions of bands in America looking for record deals to make their dreams come true? Not much, really.
If you were like me growing up, you thought that in order to "make it" you had to be signed to a major label, which would then record your CD, release it, promote it, promote you and your band, send you around the world on tour, buy you cars and homes, and everything would fall right into place. This is not the reality.
More and more, bands that had been promised the world soon found themselves empty handed and ditched on the side of the road with nothing to show for their time and effort but a broken contract and disillusionment. But from the smoldering ashes comes a phoenix of hope — indie labels.
Indie labels like Rdub Recordings in San Diego off of Friars Road, owned and operated by local producer/engineer Roland Lee Ware II, know what it takes to make a record, produce it, mix it, sell it, and tour on that record successfully. The 26-year-old musician has been working on his label since 2003, but really got things under way in 2007. He has worked with a lot of artists from North County and San Diego including bands like Plane Without a Pilot (from Clairemont and Oceanside) and The Plastic Revolution, getting them up and going with a record and exposure. Plane Without a Pilot recently recorded a music video and they've also been featured on 91X, all since signing to Rdub Recordings.
Ware's experience stems from years of playing in successful bands like Larger Than Life, which at one time shared the same management as Justin Timberlake, was one of the first MySpace bands on the Warped Tour in 2005, was featured on MTV, and had sold more than 20,000 records before the band's demise. He currently fronts the band Gunpowder Sunset and moonlights as a bass player in Parker Theory.
Ware now focuses primarily on his label, working hard at getting the bands he has signed turned into successful artists. "A lot of bands think they need to spend a lot of money to make a good record but they really don't; they just need good vocals, good drum tones, etc.," Ware said. "It's about having a good melody, good beats, and well-structured songs. And they need someone who has the vision and talent on the boards to direct their sound. That's where I come in."
His philosophy on landing a major record deal? Mixed: "Instead of relying on the chance that the right things are going to happen and you're going to be in the right place at the right time, you need to make opportunities for yourself," Ware said.
"Make your own record and sell it yourself; the more records you sell the more the major labels are going to notice you and then they come to you, and you at that point can afford to be a little pickier in what deal you sign since you've already established yourself. That's the way we've been making things happen."
More and more, Ware said he has found that there is a very real need for what he is offering local musicians that major labels can't. There is more money to be made in producing and releasing your own record on an indie label than through a major label and there is more creative control. Ware's fees are based on what services he offers the bands, but for the most part, he pays for the majority of his time and resources and recoups his investment only when his bands get signed to major deals where he then receives a percentage of their profits. "I don't charge the bands a lot of money; it's more of an investment that I hope will pay out when the band gets signed to a major, then I'll get a portion of their sales," Ware said.
The relationship between his label and the bands he has signed is strong because of his personal investment in each of them. Probably one of the best values Ware offers upcoming musicians are the additional steps he takes in organizing the bands from a business aspect, making sure all of their merch sales are recorded and accounted for; he handles their invoicing, accounting, and check issuing. "I just love doing what I do," Ware said. "I've always been into recording music since I was really young and I have so much passion for music that this is my life. And I've learned so much from touring in a successful band that I use that experience and knowledge and apply it to the bands I work with now," Ware said.
"I'm always willing to hear new music so we're always accepting demos for consideration," Ware said, adding that anyone interested in being considered for his label should e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com, though he admits he is very selective in who he signs. For more information on Rdub Recordings, the bands on his label, or Ware himself, visit the label's MySpace page at www.myspace.com/ rdubrecordings or visit www. rdubrecordings. com.

The two Princeton professors say the trend affects whites of both sexes and is happening nearly everywhere in the country. Education level is significant: People with a college degree report better health and happiness than those with only some college, who in turn are doing much better than those who never went.
Offering what they call a tentative but "plausible" explanation, they write that less-educated white Americans who struggle in the job market in early adulthood are likely to experience a "cumulative disadvantage" over time, with health and personal problems that often lead to drug overdoses, alcohol-related liver disease and suicide.
"Ultimately, we see our story as about the collapse of the white, high-school-educated working class after its heyday in the early 1970s, and the pathologies that accompany that decline," they conclude.The story actually sounds like the academic version of J.D. Vance's very popular memoir titled "Hillbilly Elegy." It also gets us back to the discussion about the income and wealth inequality in the country that is only getting more exaggerated.

Quote, originally posted by VdubGoddess » Chili cheese dogs with Chili Cheese Tater tots. A special request from my mom while she is visiting. Luckily my husband loves it as well.
Guess I will be eating a salad.
I'm sorry - I'm new on here, so I don't know what your dietary situation is, but that sounds awesome. After my husband's burger-eating competition this past weekend, we're back onto Weight Watchers, which means dinner will likely be something more like your salad than your family's chili cheese extravaganza

Leave It to Beaver was a sitcom centered around 2 boys growing up in Mayfield USA. It's timeless. When I think of Leave It to Beaver, I always remember something I saw on TV Land back in the early 2000's. Sometimes they would have TV Land Haikus. They had one for Leave It to Beaver and it was:
Leave It to Beaver,
And you'll be sorry you did,
Boy's dumb as a stump.

2017 Symposium: Platform Law
What is the proper legal model (or models) for understanding the online platform phenomenon? What burdens and responsibilities should these platforms face? What is the right mix of government and corporate policy that would support human rights, social values, traditional public policy goals, competition, and innovation? To address these questions, the 21st Annual BCLT/BTLJ symposium, Platform Law: Public and Private Regulation of Online Platforms, will bring together scholars in law, computer science, economics, and political science, with government regulators, practitioners, corporate representatives, and public interest advocates. As part of the effort to foster and advance discussion on this important topic, BTLJ is hosting an Online Forum for speakers and participants to address the myriad issues surrounding "platform law."

There may be a solution to take the guilt out of a guilty pleasure.
Although moviegoers in West Plano said they associate popcorn with watching a flick, the caloric consequences are also a major concern.
"The popcorn, it's too high-calorie," said Sandra Lebherz, of Carrollton.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Employees say they hear the same questions daily from customers who want to satisfy a craving without taking in too much fat.
"They ask for the least amount of butter, the least amount of salt, the smallest size we have," said West Plano Cinemark assistant manager Stephanie Slaten.
However, Plano-based Cinemark is turning a problem into an opportunity.
"We really have an ongoing initiative to provide healthier options to our customers," said Bob Shimmin, vice president of food and beverage for the movie house chain.
Shimmin said among other healthier initiatives, Cinemark has limited the amount of saturated fats in its popcorn.
However, a new offering called Lite Bites contains a smaller portion of popcorn, a snack option (i.e. trail mix) and a sugar free beverage – adding up to about 450 calories.
The box costs $6.50 and after success in the DFW area and other larger markets, the cinema chain is prepared to roll out the option nationwide.
"It's been very, very popular," said Shimmin.
Slaten adds that when customers are presented with the healthier option, many of them opt for the Lite Bite meal instead of a larger serving.
"I wouldn't feel guilty eating it," said moviegoer Katherine Lewis. "I've seen the whole trend of restaurants, fast food places doing it – so it'd be nice to have movie theaters doing it, too."

Randy Gordon, CEO of Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, Named Chair of the Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach Advisory Board
2010-11-05 · By Editor
Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach appointed, Randy Gordon, President and CEO of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, to Chair of the Miller Children's Advisory Board, succeeding Jay Davis. Mr. Gordon will oversee the 30-member board, as well as its Fund Development and Quality Board Committees. Gordon's expertise and patient and family advocacy will serve well in representing Miller Children's strengths and accomplishing the Advisory Board's goals.
Miller Children's advisory board members' community fundraising efforts were integral to the completion and opening of the Miller Children's Pavilion in December 2009. Their focus will remain on the Pavilion for phase II of the expansion project which encompasses initiatives to expand the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Unit.
Gordon has served as the President and CEO of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, a membership organization of more than 1,000 businesses in the greater Long Beach region, since April 1994. His community involvement includes board memberships on the YMCA and the California State University of Long Beach College of Engineering Advisory Board. Currently, Gordon serves as Treasurer of the Long Beach Ronald McDonald House Board of Directors, in anticipation of the opening of Long Beach's first Ronald McDonald House on the Miller Children's campus in fall 2011.
"My goal is for Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach to continue to expand community fundraising efforts and partnerships and be a national leader in healthcare, education and research for children and expectant mothers," says Gordon. "By continuing to grow programs and services, patients and family members will be able to take full advantage of new programs, quality healthcare, physician expertise and research funding."
About Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach:
Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach provides specialized pediatric care for children and young adults, with conditions ranging from common to complex—as well as maternity care for expectant mothers—all under one roof. Only five percent of all hospitals are children's hospitals, making them unique not only to children's health care needs in the community, but across the region. Miller Children's is one of only eight free-standing children's hospitals in California.

The Fortuna case, decided by U.S. Supreme Court chief justice John Marshall in the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of North Carolina on an appeal from Judge Henry Potter's district court, involved the validity of a maritime prize carried into the port of Wilmington by a commissioned American privateer during the War of 1812. Representative of similar prize cases originating in the District of North Carolina, the case of the Fortuna was the only one to receive publication of both the circuit and Supreme Court opinions.
The Fortuna's true nationality, whether Russian and thus a neutral vessel or British and a belligerent ship, would determine the validity of the capture and the ability of a federal court to condemn it as a "good prize." That determination depended on the facts as found by the court. Marshall diligently sought to pierce the confused, if not feigned and deceptive, facts. His tedious opinion delivered at Raleigh construed nearly every word in every piece of paper found aboard the vessel. He concluded that the Fortuna was most likely British-owned and therefore a valid American prize. The Supreme Court affirmed the chief justice's circuit court decision in favor of the captors.

Whether a real recession hits the US and spreads to the global economy or the US economy simply slows down in 2008, all software companies - enterprise-license oriented and software-as-a-service (SaaS) on-demand vendors alike will see a meaningful impact in terms of license revenue growth and maintenance renewals.
SaaS on-demand companies' revenue models are typically based on a number of user seats, so in an expanding economy with growth in hiring, SaaS companies are able to grow within their installed base and capture revenues as their clients expand with the economy. In a declining economy, SaaS companies may take a triple hit as they will see their initial transaction sizes trimmed, upsell opportunities reduced or eliminated, and then there is a possibility that users will aim to reduce the number of subscribed seats.
In practice, it may be difficult for users to instantly dial down the number of subscribed seats, as most contracts are for 12-24 month intervals and there is the pesky issue of SaaS vendors holding the user data making migrations painful. History suggests that if the downturn/recession lasts longer than nine months, we will likely witness a meaningful negative impact on SaaS companies. This is not to say that vendors oriented towards traditional enterprise licensing models will do much better in a recession, but just to point out that SaaS vendors are far from immune to an economic decline.
When it comes to software company performance in a recession, the results will stem from management experience and economic efficiency of the business model. Some of the early SaaS companies were "christened by fire" in the technology meltdown of 2000-2002. The few of these early SaaS adopters that are still run by the original management team are likely to do well if the economy takes a dip. On the other hand, the bulk of the pure-play SaaS vendors were funded between 2004 and 2007, and their management teams will have a steep learning curve when it comes to adjusting their business model to deal effectively with an economic downturn. This is in part due to pure psychological conditioning as industry press and many analysts and investors have already designated the SaaS business model as "superior".
In reality, "execution is everything" – regardless of the business model. And so far, the economic efficiency of SaaS companies has clearly lagged behind the rest of the applications software industry. In a recent benchmark of applications software companies, the business model efficiency (as measured by the MGI Index benchmark score - the MGI-X) of SaaS application providers has trailed behind the traditional enterprise software licensing oriented suppliers and the sector averages. For example, Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) placed only 11th out of 65 applications software vendors benchmarked in the study - behind "traditional" enterprise license & delivery model vendors such as Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Amdocs (NYSE: DOX). Less well known, but a much better example of a well-managed software company with a SaaS/On-demand model is Vocus (Nasdaq: VOCS). Of the sixty five application software vendors we benchmarked, only four out of thirteen pure-play SaaS vendors rank above the sector median.
Some of the reasons why SaaS vendors are not as efficient as their "traditional model" competitors have to do with how revenue is booked on a deferred basis, but in part the inefficiency stems from heavier support and infrastructure burdens that many SaaS vendors have been privately complaining about. In an enterprise model, the user provides the first level of support, but in the SaaS model, most - if not all - support is the domain of the SaaS vendor. SaaS vendors have to run an operations center that hosts the system (or manage a third-party hosting provider). In discussions we have held with some SaaS CEOs, many have expressed a desire for a hybrid business model, a notion that is often at loggerheads with what they are being told by their VCs.
Bottom Line: In the event of an economic downturn, SaaS vendors will be sharing the pain with their enterprise model brethren. With the exception of one SaaS company, MGI Index benchmarks for most SaaS application providers reveal mediocre efficiency scores that are well behind the overall economics of the applications software sector.

About This File
Standard fixes are included, plus a few extra stuff:
Built-in kernel blacklister automatically blacklists bad kexts from loading. Therefore you don't need to use a disabler to disable it manually
bigger dmesg Which translates to a larger log file so that you can troubleshoot easily
uuid patching/fix Eliminates the need of UUID kext or specifying manually
fsb detection
cpu cache detection
reboot fix- Eliminates the need of OpenHaltRestart and fixes shutdown/reboot issue
sse3emu -SSE3 emulator for SSE2 processors . Bear in mind that most of the applications in Snow Leopard run fine with this emulator.?
Some things added:
some support for the new 6 core i7
For people wanting to use XCode apps, I decided to add all the CHUD kexts to the kext blacklist. This means no more kp hell when installing and dealing with the development tools. If anyone thinks this is something that shouldn't be added, let me know.
Features in this specific package:
If you have SleepEnabler installed, your SleepEnabler kext will get updated. If you don't use it, don't worry about it - it won't get installed.
All of the CPUIDs in the new versions of programs from the 10.6.3 update will get patched. this means you don't need to deal with the hell regarding iTunes, etc.?
(The actual patcher program also gets installed (/usr/local/bin/patcher, you can run from anyware via Terminal) as well as the CPUID text file (/Library/CPUIDs/*) Though this is only important to people who love control and want to be able to run it themselves :-P - this is all automated in the installer regardless. Unfortunately we still havent gotten on the fly patching working, so this is a reasonable fix for it for now.)
I do make cpuid files for updates and keep them online http://nawcom.com/osx86/cpuids/ for AMD people to use regarding updates as well as a nice frontend to Maxxuss' patcher app, drag and drop a cpuid.txt file onto the app to launch it - just like Taruga's HDA Patcher.
Anyways, good luck to all. Source diffs are always available. -> http://nawcom.com/osx86/files/10.6/Kernels...-1504.3.12.diff

Invest in a silk pillowcase - Proven to avoid the snagging cotton pillowcases can cause a silk pillowcase can help smooth hair. Other benefits include not absorbing natural moisture from face and hair.
Try a silk scarf - If you don't fancy trying a pillowcase, how about wrapping a silk scarf around your hair before bed. Same benefits as above, and you'll look pretty glam whilst you snooze!
Moisturise - Make sure you condition your hair, and use a intensive hair treatment once a week. Making sure your hair is in the best condition it can be will help avoid tangles.
Braided Bedtime - If you have long hair, try plaiting/braiding) it before bedtime. Do this loosely and tie with a piece of fabric rather than a band to avoid damage. If you don't fancy waking up with waves, then try a ponytail with fabric ties down the length to keep hair under control.
Detangle Drama - Prepare your hair by detangling BEFORE going to bed, use a Tangle Teezer or wide tooth comb to remove any knots. If you find your hair is knotty when you wake, use the Tangle Teezer again to gently remove knots without damaging.
Keep it Clean - Removing hair products before going to bed is wise if you've been styling your hair using hairspray and gels. Try using a clarifying shampoo every now and again to help battle build up.
Hopeful this Salon Surgery should help you get a more peaceful night's sleep.

Voluptuous and XLGirls model Jelena Jasper is a great help with Merilyn photo discharges. She is Ukrainian too, which makes them homegirls. Now, normally, Jelena is very jovial and cheery but Merilyn did something to anger Jelena on this visit. So Jelena is plan to must castigate a very contrite Merilyn, who makes that "Home Alone" face. Stern-looking Jelena has Merilyn bend over her knees and take her spanks until Merilyn assents to behave better. (Any smooth operator fortunate enough to have to spank Merilyn over his knee would have a gigantic stiffy by the third smack.) After Merilyn's ass-whacks have been doled out, the one and the other beauties pose individually to reveal off their huge-boobed bods.

Margarita and Julia are kissing in the kitchen. They are one as well as the other hot and having a kinky worthwhile time jointly. They each play with their love muffins and grind all over each other.

Legs are spread wide apart and they just keep on licking every other's kooky beavers. Finger rogering in turn has got 'em the one and the other screaming with fun. Add a sextoy and the wetness is just gushing. They get into various poses with each other until both are ready to explode into a creamy greater than average O.

Sun-tanned honey maximus, Stella can't hold it any longer. This babe is been mesmerized by her girlfriend's body for the past half sixty minutes and it is driving her potty. This babe slips one hand below Ami's top to watch if she's likewise in the mood. A tester wager, if you will. They spend a worthwhile amount of time giving a kiss and cupping and touching each others' magnificant titties. Then, from nowhere, those two saucy lezbos go after every others' bungholes like they're frosted with an addictive candy coating or smth. I mean, these whores really clean out their arse cracks until it is basically immaculate! Do their lustful natures know no bounds?

Art merges with men's magazine imagery when Chloe and Cat Tailer have joy every other's flesh in a bawdy, deserted garage. Cat initially appeared in the July 1995 Curvacious and then reappeared in the October 1995 edition of SCORE magazine. The Michigan native posed for those solos and this tryst with Chloe in the London studio of John Graham. It was Cat Taylor's first time. That babe was an up-and-coming feature dancer, had appeared in SCORE and Curvaceous and wanted to do a girl-girl. Not 'coz her agent said her. Not 'coz that babe thought it would assist her lap dancing career. And not 'cuz that babe thought merely a hottie could give her topmost enjoyment. No, Cat wanted some cunt 'cuz Chloe had given her the eye. That look from Chloe that says, "I urge you!" and "I know how to please you…better than anybody else!" "She wasn't lying either," says Cat, who partied with Chloe three months later on Boob Cruise '95. "I had not at any time done a girl on girl and I wasn't even planning on one. But, when I was getting willing for a solo pictorial for SCORE, Chloe was sat in a director's chair watching me. Everytime I would look over at her, this babe would smile. And, not a pleased, "how are you doing" smile–it was a sensuous grin. With those unfathomable brown eyes, Chloe's eyes went right throughout my body and told me that babe wanted me. Then, she glided over, kissed me and we did it. It was not the first time I'd been seduced in my life, but it was the 1st time a domina did it…and she didn't even say a word to get me going. This babe just did it. Confidence is an amazing aphrodisiac, do not you think?" Shortly afterwards, Cat changed her glamour modeling name to Sophia Capri and went on Boob Cruise #2 in 1995. A full page photo of Sophia in the March 1996 Boob Cruise edition of SCORE was morphed by Richard Java and is quite fantastic. That babe posed a not many more times for SCORE, made numerous movie scenes in London, then went to Los Angeles and did a bunch of adult movie scenes, some full sex scenes, some Lezzie scenes and some were non-sex roles. We have lost track of her since then. Chances are she's out of the adult world now.

Autumn and Annie Swanson met during the making of the video/DVD Bosom Buddies 5. This was actually a boobistoric mingling. Two lewd, ripe, breasty gals; one an pro glamour model from Alabama, the other a newcomer from New Jersey. They got along beautifully. Buxom Mag interviewed Annie for the February 2003 edition:
Annie: Autumn and I, we had a great time. We even hung out afterward and had a indeed worthwhile time jointly. And the discharge went truly smoothly.
V-mag: U liked the strap-on?
Annie: Yeah, that was my favorite toy.
V-mag: You liked using it or having it used on u? Annie: No, I liked using it.
V-mag: U liked having a pecker?
Annie: [Laughing] Yeah. I got to use it on Autumn.
V-mag: So now u watch why studs love having cocks so much.
Annie: Yeah, it's pleasure. Except I could not acquire mine to stay on right.
V-mag: What do you mean?
Annie: It was love baggy, I suppose. And it would not work as well as, obviously, a real rod.

These dark bad cuties are hopeless for joy! They kick off the scene with one angel bent over the edge of the sofa while the other hotty fingers her holes from the back. This babe nearly fists the goddess, stretching her constricted pink slit right out with her hands. Then the gals acquire out a couple of dildos, taking turns to plug every others' wet, bald holes. They are groaning love bonkers during the time that they screw each other, hopeless to cum. Then they fetch out a fresh toy, a massive, purple, double ended sextoy. They go booty to gazoo, slapping their firm buttocks together during the time that they pleasure every other with the double ended knob. What dirty lesbo whores!

Autumn got indeed excited when that babe discovered out she was intend to do the double sex tool dance with V-Mag fave Annie Swanson.

Yabbadabbadildo! Anyhow, here's the photo set we discharged at the same time. We guarantee this'll put serious lead in your pencil. Isn't it astonishing how 2 lovely little gals adore Autumn-Jade and Annie can make sufficient quim juice to fill a swimming pool? More confirmation that great things come in tiny packages.

Porche Carrera and Navaeh Keys sure know how to play. These two get down and impure right away. Slow and gentle they grope and take up with the tongue every others privates. With an skilled tongue on love button and pink flaps, the result is gasps of pleasure. Ever so slowly they kindle every other with gentle fingers in their moist wet love tunnels. Out come the toys and the level of excitement goes up a notch. A monumental sex toy in a tight snatch during the time that caressing a clitoris results in spasms of lust. Doggy position slamming with the marital-device deep and hard results in an explosive climax.

When a list is made of the important models who helped define and create the breast frenzy of the 1990s, Chloe and Danielle Ashe need to be included. Chloe for bringing her European style and voluptuousity to North The United States of America and Danni for pioneering the pathway on the World Wide Web. Here they are in a classic girl on girl, a photo shoot that was a labor of love.

To reinvent the way Natwest interacts with it's customers in key areas. They, like most hight street banks were stuck offering poor user experience to their customers, and were loosing ground to the more digital startup banks.
The task was to increase the number of successful current account openings by reducing the amount of time it takes to apply from 45 minutes to under 5 minutes. We cut the form down from 17 pages to 1 short scrolling page buy removing duplication, jargon, and integrating clever widgets to the process.
Transferring money within internet banking has always been a bad user experience for people. Normally it involves entering a string of complicated numbers and reference code followed by an undefined waiting time, and the risks were high - research showed people frequently felt anxious about whether the money got to the correct destination.With this, our crack team set out on a 2 week micro project to make-test-learn our way to a better offering. The result - a clear, mobile led experience that is intuitive and reassuring to the customer.
An area we identified for improvement early on was displaying clear info about Natwests credit cards. Our research showed customers - new and existing - felt confused with the language used and how the information was displayed. The extra challenge to this task was to navigate the minefield of legislation attached to these products.We approached this challenge by giving each product a narrative. The content flowed logically from one piece to the next - the viewer started with the 'elevator pitch' and ended with the necessary t's & c's - the results of the user testing confirmed our approach, users left with a hugely improved understanding and were much more likely to apply for the product.
We were challenged with improving the overall experience of online banking in RBS and Natwest and giving users the tools they need to manage their account themselves. We made the traditional bank statement a complete overhaul, making it a powerful tool in money management.

The town of Positano is located in one of the most beautiful valleys of the Amalfi Coast, and the valley opens up to an equally magnificent stretch of coastline. The main part of the city sits in an enclave in the hills leading down to the coast. Legends says that Positano was founded by a group of inhabitants from Paestum who were escaping from the attack of some Saraceni pirates.
The first official information about the town's existence comes from some ancient Roman documents, but some artifacts from the Palaeolithic Era have also been found. The Romans built near the 'great' beach a rich patrician villa, which has now been buried by gardens and by the church devoted to Our Lady of the Assumption. In medieval times it was a port of the Amalfi Republic, and prospered in the 16th and 17th centuries. But by the mid-19th century, the town had fallen on hard times. More than half the population emigrated, mostly to Australia and it was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the 20th century. It began to attract large numbers of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in Harper's Bazaar in May, 1953: Positano bites deep, Steinbeck wrote. "It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone".
Three miles away from the coast rise "Li Galli", small archipelago consisting of three islands, always supposed legendary home of the sirens and recently become refuge for artists like Massine and Nureyev. On the island are the remains of a Roman abode of the first century AD and of an Angevin tower.
At the centre of Positano you can see the brightly coloured "maiolica" dome of Santa Maria Assunta, the main church of Positano. The church features a collection of intriguing works of art from the XIII, and XVI century that are well worth visiting with the splendid majolica dome and a Byzantine mosaic floor. Thanks to the innate sense of hospitality of its inhabitants Positano has became one of the most famous tourist places all over the world and it has been featured in many films. It is also internationally known for its clothing production: many little, but elegant boutiques, which are almost everywhere on both sides of streets and lanes, can satisfy all the requests of a cosmopolitan clientele.
During the summer a series of patronal feasts – among which we can remember that on the 2nd of July in Montepertuso and that on the 15th of August in Positano – and cultural events – like the International Award for the Art of Dancing to the memory of the great dancer-choreographer Leonide Massine – gladden the evenings, making the stay in this charming place, also called the "Gem of the divine coast", more pleasant and suggestive.
