I have sebaceous hyperplasia. One MD recommended Levulan; another recommended Fraxel. What is the difference?
What is the Difference Between Levulan and Fraxel Treatments?
Doctor Answers 2
fraxel laser is either the restore / dual or the repair. The fraxel restore is a 1550nm. erbium-yag fractional laser, the dual adds a 1927nm. thurium laser that is more specific for pigment reduction, and the fraxel repair is a fractional carbon dioxide laser. These lasers (the thurium is not expected to help the sebaceous hyperplasia) are nonspecific for the sebaceous hyperplasia, but may help reduce the mass from their resurfacing. PDT, or photodynamic therapy, involves the application of a photosensitizing liquid, Levulan, to the sebaceous hyperplasia which may preferentially absorb it more than normal skin, and then the skin is exposed to a light source after the skin incubates with the Levulan for a specified time. The Levulan-soaked sebaceous hyperplasia then are affected by the photochemical reaction between the light and the levulan. None of these treatments are cures, but they can minimize the growth of the sebaceous hyperplasia.
Levulan refers to a chemical (ALA= amino levulenic acid) that is used in PDT (photodynamic therapy). ALA is activated by certain wavelenghts of light and initiates a reaction in the skin to reduce bacteria and to diminish pre-cancers. It is used "off-label" for aging and other conditions. Fraxel refers to a laser in the infrared range which heats the skin and improves skin texture and color. I use Tazorac and a birtcher hyfrecator for sebaceous hyperplasia (SH), because no matter how it is treated, SH ALWAYS comes back, and I have found this combination the least expensive so it can be repeated yearly.

So London Mayor Boris Johnson – whose declared 2012 earnings of £1.3m put him firmly in the country's richest one per cent - has placed himself in the corner of the average earner. And he's chosen to do so in his column for the Telegraph. You know, the one for which he dismissed his £250k pay packet as 'chicken feed'.
The offending article appeared in yesterday's Telegraph and espoused that: "there is no point in wasting any more moral or mental energy in being jealous of the very rich". As is his style, he made his stake to being a Man Of The People with slippery logic, gussied up in characteristically whimsical style. "I wonder – as the rest of us have wondered down the ages – whether you can really expect to be any happier for having so much dosh." He explains he's talking about the "very, very rich" - the double emphasis presumably making a distinction with himself as merely "very rich"?
His argument would remain in the realm of laughable, had he left it there. But he quickly crosses over into something more sinister: "we should be offering them [the 'very, very rich'] humble and hearty thanks". Because, he says, these are the people who are "always the first target of the charity fund-raisers" and "who put bread on the tables of families". Bread! Lucky us! Now bow down to your squires - and say hello to Victorian philanthropy 2.0.
Waving the wand of free-market utopianism over wealth distribution, Johnson is trying to conjure up the idea that if we rollback the state, individual altruism will rise up to fill the gaps – and we'll all be freer to boot. From early talk of 'Big Society', it's an ideologically ingrained idea. Except, of course, it has been shown over and again to be based on unsound logic.
Before we all start grovelling at the feet of the super-rich ('More bread! More bread!'), and put them completely in charge of wealth redistribution instead of democratically elected representatives, it makes sense to cast our eyes across the Atlantic - as well as back to Dickens' London. Johnson said just last month this is where we should seek inspiration for a future model of philanthropy. The US is very proud of the amount that its citizens - encouraged by tax breaks - give to charity: 88 per cent of households make charitable donations, with annual average donations per household of $2,213.
In comparison, in the UK, we feel the onus more lies with the state to distribute wealth collectively, through taxation. Examining where donations go in the US, we get a sense of why the UK system might make more sense. The top two recipients of donations are churches and educational institutes - not social programs or housing trusts.
On the most recently published list of big donations, the recipients are almost unanimously elite institutions: The Metropolitan Museum of Art got a $1bn, while Ivy League universities get many, many multi-million donations from alumni. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, for example, pledged America's third largest donation of this year of $350m to his alma mater John Hopkins University, which has named its School of Public Health after him. What's more, statistics show that the poor in the US proportionally give far more of what they can afford than do the rich. As such, the American system of philanthropy propagates what is inarguably one of the most pressing issues facing both the US and UK: economic inequality.
In looking States-wards, Johnson gushed over Bloomberg, calling him "one of the great philanthropists of our age". But perhaps the London mayor should pay attention to the will of New Yorkers. Earlier this month, 72 per cent of the city's citizens elected Democrat Bill de Blasio to replace Bloomberg, and with it, showed whole-hearted approval for his unabashedly tax-happy approach to the rich, the very rich – and the very, very rich.

Did the D2925180A_G2S for Nuvi 2350 and which JCV (D3589150A JCV OK for nuvi 2350)

There are 2 JCV files for NTU full EU map
D3589150A.JCV is for Nuvi40/50/60 and Garmin Street pitot app. only,
It's Portrait Template JCV: it's a special JCV.
There are two types of JCVs - Raster and Vector. Nuvi 30, 40, 50 and 60 etc. support only the raster type.
D3048180A.JCV is for 2xxx/3xxx and all the devices receiving NTU map update.
After all these years and a ton of threads talking about it, I think users know it by heart
For example:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
About G2S path look at garmindevice.xml in Garmin folder in your nuvi.
You have to navigate to get to the good.
Galaxy S5 Kitkat 4.4.2 / Nuvi1200->1250 / Nuvi3790T->34xx / Nuvi 2200 / Nuvi 66 / Oregon 600
I know but I've confused me in the folder JVC found three types of JVC: D2152010A.JCV, D3048060A.jcv, D3589120A.JCV ?????
About G2S:
Enjoy life
D2152010A.JCV is JCV for CNEU NT 2011.40
D3048060A.JCV is JCV for CNEU NTU 2013.10
D3589120A.JCV is for CNEU NTU 2015.10 (for 40/50/60)
You can trash them all , a bit of mess in your nuvi lol
You have to navigate to get to the good.
Galaxy S5 Kitkat 4.4.2 / Nuvi1200->1250 / Nuvi3790T->34xx / Nuvi 2200 / Nuvi 66 / Oregon 600
It is old APT file (External Point Addressing). It was supported by Nuvi 2xxx too. But Garmin do not use this SID type since 2013.40 version. Maybe it was included to map file or maybe Garmin developer was tired to compile it and they get decision to rest several year Only USA map have this privilege at the moment. Although the USA map do not have Grey-Out search - score is 1:1 in match America vs Europe
I think it is the waste file for Europe now.
Love your wife? Buy yourself a GPS for answering to her favorite question: "Dear, where are you?".
Does it work on Nuvi 65?

By Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) - 02/12/13 12:05 AM EST
If terms like "continuing resolution" or "debt ceiling" seem like déjà vu, there's a good reason.
Recent years have been marked in Congress by the same troublesome decisions to ignore regular legislative process and forgo passing legally required annual budgets. As a result, important appropriations bills approved in committee never receive consideration by the full chamber, and continuing resolution (CR) after continuing resolution is needed to keep important programs afloat. All the while, little is being done to address the deepening debt and ballooning deficits each year.
If we keep passing stopgap measures instead of enacting a fiscally responsible budget, we will be left with the same outcomes that have proven ineffective for far too long.
2013 brings to Washington fresh opportunities to face these familiar challenges, many of which must be addressed in the next couple of months. Congress recently passed a bill to stave off the rapidly approaching debt-limit debate in return for a Senate-passed budget by April 15. We are still waiting for the president's budget proposal, which was due to Congress last week and has been late four of the last five years.
Indiscriminate, across-the-board spending cuts delayed as a part of the year-end fiscal-cliff bill will begin on March 1 absent congressional action. And the current CR funding government operations is set to expire at the end of March.
The president will have a chance in his State of the Union speech to outline a new commitment to resolve our fiscal concerns. As he addresses a nation facing much uncertainty, the president should focus on the need for fiscal stability. This means rolling back unnecessary regulations that smother growth and stifle innovation. It means expanding global markets for quality U.S. goods. And it means addressing massive government programs sliding toward insolvency. It also means passing a budget this year and every year.
In Congress, addressing these issues will require tough votes. Admittedly, there are no easy solutions, but simply handing the government a new credit card after it maxed out the last one is not the right approach. The root cause of our enormous debt is Washington's reckless spending spree, and this problem will never be solved until we get spending under control. It's time we pass a budget and actually enact appropriations legislation. This process will help Congress act on opportunities for real savings and deficit reduction, but we cannot stop there.
This year, we must also address important government programs that account for nearly two-thirds of federal spending and are headed for insolvency. The Social Security disability trust fund is expected to be broke in three years. And the Medicare trust fund will no longer be able to meet its obligations beginning in 2024. These programs provide needed resources to Americans across generations, and it is important that we find a way to ensure they remain available now and in the future.
All of this is certainly possible, but it will require the Senate to fire on all cylinders. That means returning to the regular processes of debating and amending bills in committee, then allowing the full Senate to debate and amend them. That's how potential new laws should be scrutinized.
Unfortunately, for far too long Congress's failure to pass a budget has resulted in a sputtering Senate that lurches from one crisis to the next, often stalling until the last minute. Senators have been resigned to voting on massive year-end bills to avert calamities we've all known were coming — and doing so in a take-it-or-leave-it manner because the amendment process has been virtually nonexistent.
Clearly, we have our work cut out for us, but I am optimistic that we can achieve our goals if we take advantage of this new window of opportunity and allow the Senate to work as designed. As I have in the past, I stand ready to work with my fellow senators from both sides of the aisle to make the difficult decisions we were sent here to make.
Johanns is the senior senator from Nebraska and a former secretary of Agriculture in the George W. Bush administration.

Here are some tips for buying used Pontiac Azteks online:
Choose a used Pontiac Aztek you can afford
- You have to know much you can spend before you can determine what Pontiac Aztek you can afford. The worst case scenario here is you making bloated car payments for the next five or six years. A good rule of thumb is 20% of your net income can be used for your used Pontiac Aztek car payment.
Choose a used Pontiac Aztek that you NEED
- Now you'll want to do is assess your needs to determine what kind of car you really need. For example, if your car will be used mostly for daily commuting and errands, then a standard or basic used Pontiac Aztek may suit your needs. Will you be hauling a lot of stuff? You may need to find a Pontiac Aztek with more cargo space or towing capacity. There's a lot to choose from, and a lot of factors to consider when choosing a used Pontiac Aztek.
Choose a used Pontiac Aztek that you WANT
- Now that you have your list, you have most likely narrowed it down to a particular used Pontiac Aztek or two. But did you consider other factors, like performance, handling, safety and comfort? Do you want your used Pontiac Aztek to have quick acceleration and power? Do you need a small used car to fit into tight parking spaces? Do you need a car that can take you off-roading? You may want certain features, like four-wheel drive, a turbo engine or all-wheel drive with the used Pontiac Aztek car that you buy. You may also want more horsepower, better gas mileage, more comfort and luxury or a greater towing capacity. All of these specifics are things that you need to consider before shopping for a used Pontiac Aztek for sale.

Publication: International Journal of Computerized Dentistry Year 2006 Volume 9 , Issue 2
Evaluation for the fully automatic inlay reconstruction by means of the biogeneric tooth model. Richter J, Mehl A.
Length measurements and descriptive characterizations were previously the sole reference points for describing the morphology of the occlusal surface. For computerized methods in dentistry, this is not sufficient for producing a data record. So far, the literature has reported no solutions. With the aid of a tooth library containing three-dimensionally measured occlusal surfaces free of caries and abrasion, a mathematical model was produced to describe a certain type of tooth by reference to a few parameters, taking account of functional and biologically relevant structures. This biogeneric tooth model was tested on 27 different inlay situations. The results show that fully automatic reconstruction was possible in all cases. The deviations of the reconstructions from the original tooth surface were on average around 150 microm. Furthermore, the influence of different parameters on the mathematical model was examined. Here, combinations that guarantee the best possible reconstruction for many situations could be found. The visual evaluation and the metric comparison of the reconstructions among one another illustrate the great flexibility of the biogeneric tooth model. With the aid of the biogeneric tooth model, there is the possibility of reconstructing the occlusal surfaces of dental restorations by CAD/CAM processes fully automatically, taking account of morphological and functional criteria. Further studies are needed to show to what extent the inclusion of degree of abrasion, antagonist and adjacent teeth delivers the desired results in the whole spectrum of clinical cases.

This Means War! by Ellen Wittlinger. Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. April 2010. Reviewed from Advance Reviewer Copy from publisher.
Juliet, ten, has lost her best friend, Lowell. Why? Because Juliet is a girl. Six years of friendship mean nothing, now that Lowell is friends with Tommy and Mike. Boys do boy stuff, she is told, and girls do girl stuff.
GO. AWAY. is the message.
Patsy, Juliet's new friend, isn't afraid of anything. Or anyone. One thing leads to another, and suddenly the boys and girls are challenging each other to see who is better, faster, stronger, braver. No matter the risk. No matter who gets hurt.
This fifth grade battle of the sexes plays out in October 1962, against the backdrop of Cuban Missile Crisis. Wittlinger lets the reader connect their own dots about the motivations and fears of the various kids and parents. This Means War is not just about the war between two groups of fifth graders; it's the war against prejudices, against fear of change, against the unknown, against oneself.

I recently wrote about what it meant to priest for the Goddess. In it I quoted, noted Buddhist roshi, Pat Enkyo O'Hara, who once said, "When asked of all the wisdom traditions why Zen, I said, because I live a life of Zen." In a reframe, I suggested that I live a life of Goddess. Many have messaged me to clarify what I mean by that?
Goddess is the everyday constant in my life. She is the immanent divine within me, around me, the all and the vast nothing; but also the transcendent manifestation standing before me. She is the totality of my life experiences, regardless of circumstance, and I manifest the life I have in Her service because She is worship for me. I confess worship is one of my favorite words. When I was growing up my grandmother would say, "Worship is a verb!" Meaning that there was more to being a Christian than just showing up on Sunday morning or worse, just at Christmas and Easter! She was not wrong, as worship is in fact both a noun and a verb. But what is worship? 'Worship is the action of religious devotion often directed towards a deity."

Love these, T. Where did you find them? They look as though they might have been hauled up from some dark ocean floor. . . Oooh, the things one could do with these! L, C xo
Lovely, and somehow sad to me. I dreamed of watches last night. A woman was going to show me the secret to making all my old watches work again, but I woke up too soon to find out. I imagine you have something very interesting planned for all that deconstructed time.
Cro, look quickly, as time is running out....
Claire, there were platters of watch parts for sale at an outdoor market, and bracelets and pendants made from these for sale also. Amazing stuff.
Mel, your dream completely fascinates me, being so rife with symbolism! May I steal it for a poem?
another visual concept: time in a bottle.fascinating collection there, T.
Yes, of course!
I just love this!!Time, time, time, see what's become of thee... - (with apologies to Simon and Garfunkel...)

Happy Monday. And today is in the news once again as controversy rages over whether we should all have a Monday off in May or a Monday off in October, May Day versus a new UK Day celebrating the best of Britain. This is clearly the time for bold action: I say let's have both.
Moreover, and as concerned as anyone else about being competitive, I note that Italy gets 16 bank holidays a year and the United States 13 to our eight. Again, the more days off bankers get, surely, the smaller their bonuses. Besides, one day is completely inadequate to celebrate what has made this country great. No, we need five new bank holidays for that, at least: 1. Queue Day (all the way to the coast). 2. Dunkirk Day (all the way back). 3. Obsolete Well-Designed Red Artefacts Day. 4. Famously Restrained Emotions Day. 5. Speaking English Slowly and Loudly Day (see David Cameron).
On the whole, I think you'll have a better week if you try to be judicious with your jollity, as the current count is Topgeargate (rude about Mexico), Frywrygate (rude about Japan), Cablegate (rude about bankers), Gervaisgate (rude about actors), and, of course, Keysgate.
So, you ask, who or what can I make a joke about? Well, it helps if it's funny, which, obviously, was the case in only one of the above. And if your name is Frankie Boyle. But you should be fairly safe with these targets: 1. Men too weakened by a savage attack of influenza (I'd be wary of attaching a specific country) to defend themselves. 2. Sally Bercow. After that, difficult. I see, too, that Simon Pegg's new film, Paul, which has its premiere tonight, is making fun of aliens, and wonder if this is entirely wise.
Bungling burglars, however, are not safe: Cody Wilkins, of Washington DC, has just been arrested after leaving his phone on charge in the house he had just ransacked. Other popular news areas: long-lasting electrical equipment, Gordon Russell, Cumbria: a 55-year-old fridge with original light bulb. It's A Remarkable World (formerly Odd Foreigner): Andreas Mueller, a German, has won a Mini in a radio show contest by having the word "Mini" tattooed on to his penis. And, in Irony, Matthew Nieveen (no relation) of Nebraska has tested positive on his way home from a fancy dress party dressed as a breathalyser. Happy Monday.

U.S. Catholic bishops' new leaders concerned with poor
By Mary Wisniewski
BALTIMORE (Reuters) - U.S. Catholic bishops elected two centrist conservatives as new leaders on Tuesday, an archbishop from Kentucky and a Texas cardinal, both of whom expressed "solidarity" with Pope Francis' strong emphasis on the poor.
Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, 67, of Louisville, Kentucky was elected to a three-year term as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, while Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, 64, of the Galveston-Houston diocese, was chosen as vice president.
Their election comes as Catholic bishops worldwide are being given new direction by Pope Francis, who has emphasized greater humility and more concern for poverty. The bishops oversee 69 million U.S. Catholics, or about a quarter of the country's population.
"I believe we are very much in solidarity with Pope Francis, and that is, his way of articulating clearly that we need not only to serve the voiceless and the vulnerable, but to be an advocate," Kurtz told reporters after his election.
Christopher Hale, senior fellow with Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, a progressive group that focuses on social justice issues, said he believes both Kurtz and DiNardo "will move the American Church in the direction Pope Francis desires."
Hale cited Kurtz's "long pastoral experience" and praised DiNardo as a "tireless leader on immigration reform. He knows firsthand the problems of a broken immigration system."
Kurtz's election was expected as he is finishing a three-year term as vice president. Known as a reliable conservative who is also well-liked, pragmatic and effective, he replaces New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, an outspoken and colorful conservative elected in 2010.
"It means consistency and with Kurtz a little more concern for the poor and with DiNardo a little more concern about immigration," said Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest and senior analyst with the National Catholic Reporter. Reese noted that Kurtz has a degree in social work and had cared for a brother with Down syndrome. Continued...

text: This special issue of the international journal of cosmic physics, Astrophysics and Space Science, contains invited contributions delivered at the Second IEEE International Workshop on Plasma Astrophysics and Cosmology, held from 10 to 12 May 1993 in Princeton, New Jersey. The Workshop was sponsored by the NSF Division of Atmospheric Sciences, NASA Headquarters, Space Physics Division, and the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It was the purpose of the Workshop to update topics in Plasma Astrophysics and Cosmology presented at the First IEEE International Workshop on Plasma Cosmology, La Jolla, California, 20-22 February 1989, and to again bring together observers and theorists to discuss the related links between plasma theory and observation. Another goal of the Workshop and these proceedings was to highlight the Centennial Celebration (1896-1996) of the founding of Plasma Astrophysics and Cosmology and several papers are devoted to the history of this field of science.

Huckleberry Hound — Freeway Patrol
Credits: Animation – Ken Muse; Layout – Dick Bickenbach; Backgrounds – Art Lozzi; Story Sketches and Dialogue – Charlie Shows and Dan Gordon; Titles – Art Goble; Production Supervision – Howard Hanson.
Cast: Narrator – Don Messick; Huck, Mugsy the Robber, Bird – Daws Butler.
First Aired: week of November 10, 1958.
Plot: Fleeing bank robber tries to outwit Huckleberry Hound of the Freeway Patrol.
Satire comes in all flavours, including in cartoons. Tex Avery used (among other things) kind of an outlandish ridicule to make fun of things like movie travelogues and automobiles. Paramount's satires of suburban and modern behaviour circa 1960 were more cynical. But Hanna-Barbera, perhaps considering they were aiming primarily at kids (but hoping spending-happy adults would watch), went in more for a gentle lampoon.
Television was becoming a target of cartoons as the '50s wore on. The Huckleberry Hound Show followed the trend, using a parody of 'Dragnet' as the opening for Huckleberry Hound Meets Wee Willie, and then turning their eyes on 'Highway Patrol' when this cartoon was made.
Well, they borrow from the title. Huck doesn't act at all like Broderick Crawford. Through the cartoon, he's sleepy and dumb at times but ultimately in control. And then the running gag re-appears to end it all, so Charlie Shows, Joe Barbera and Dan Gordon have a nicely structured story here.
There are other things familiar here. There are those evergreens with the branches that flip up like Marlo Thomas' hair on 'That Girl.' Since the same trees grow in cartoons by various background artists, I have to presume Dick Bickenbach was responsible for them in layout. He's also designed some more late '50s cars with tail-fins but no doors. He's also responsible for the cloverleaf that is the opening shot of the cartoon; later, there's a road-level view with streetlights the same as he created for the "super-highway" in Yogi's Baffled Bear. And the animated sunburst effect that's used for disembodied speech, in this case out of a car radio, showed up in a number of Hanna-Barbara cartoons for several years. Ken Muse also drew it in Jinks' Mice Device.
The opening is familiar, too. Huck cartoons, even when Warren Foster took over from Charlie Shows in season two, began with a narrator setting up the premise. Don Messick uses a stentorian style this time, perhaps because Highway Patrol featured the intoning Art Gilmore as its narrator. Gilmore has a Hanna-Barbera connection, by the way. He plugged Kellogg's over the original intro and extro of The Huckleberry Hound Show (not the version heard on various CDs). The Messick narrator informs us millions of motoring Americans are protected "by a special dedicated group of officers—the Freeway Patrol. Alert. Eagle-eyed. Ready for any emergency" Naturally, the shot is of officer Huck dozing off at the wheel while driving. The opening also sets up the cartoon's running gag. The dispatcher sends Huck (in the inevitable 'Car 13') to investigate a stalled truck. The camera focuses on an underpass as the police car races inside it. The camera shakes. We hear Huck report to headquarters and then the camera cuts to the gag shot.
Huck: I found that stalled truck. Send new patrol car.
Dispatcher: Oh, no. That's three this week and it's only Tuesday.
Now that it's been established that Huck is inept and snoozy, the plot can unfold. There's a bank robber driving a 1958 Bickenbach on the freeway. The narrator informs us "The Freeway Patrol springs into action." Mind you, it takes a bit of shouting for the dispatcher for that happen, since he has to wake the sleeping Huck. Even then, there's a delay as the new Car 13 gets into another smash-up.
The crook encounters "a roadblock" which is nothing more than Huck standing on the road like a school-crossing guard. Now we get comedy out of the situation more than the dialogue. The crook mocks concern about a robber being on the loose and shows his driver's license, complete with mask and criminal occupation listed.
Huck: How comes you're wearin' a mask?
Robber: Uh, er, I, I'm the Masked Hornet on television.
Huck: Well, let's see here now. So you're a TV star.
Robber (bashfully): Heh heh heh. I didn't think you'd recognise me.
Huck: Gosh! Can I have your autograph, Mr. Masked Hornet?
Robber: Anything for me fans.
There are some cartoons that Huck is so incredibly and consistently stupid that it's annoying (Huck's Hack is one). But the gag here is so silly that I'll go along with it. Especially considering how idiotic star-struck fans can be in real life.
After the crook drives away, Huck looks at the autograph book and realises he's been had. So the chase is on.
First, the crook puts on his brake. The sudden rear-end stop wrecks another Car 13 (but doesn't scratch the bad guy's car. Sturdy, those '58 Bickenbachs). "Short car, ain't it?" remarks Huck to the camera, emulating a sign in a Tex Avery cartoon. Next, the crook puts up a detour sign, which works in any cartoon. There's a weird bit of topography here. Huck's supposed to be on a freeway. He's in the country in one shot and suddenly finds himself in the middle of a city block in the next. Oh, well. Let's go along with that, too.
Huck drives onto a hoist in a garage which the crooks sends through the roof and into the sky. But nothing bothers Huck. He looks at a passing bird, smiles and remarks "That's a right purty view from up here." I like the way Bick turns the car at an angle; all we've seen through the whole cartoon is side views to accomodate the right-to-left roll of the background cells.
How does Huck get down? That's left to your imagine.
As the narrator tells us: "Well, you can fool some of the people all of the time, and fool all of the people some of the time, but a sharp cookie can fool ol' Huck most any old time." The robber gets a flat so he whips out a housewife-y wig and pulls the woman-in-distress routine. We get the sob story tune 'Winter Tales' in the background as the 'lady' wails how helpless she is. Yup, Huck gets fooled. He starts to fix the tire and the crook takes off in his car. Huck turns to the camera and says, "You know, I just never could understand women."
Ah, but the chase continues. Huck gets in the crook's 1958 Bickenbach (to save animation, the wheels don't turn; the car is stationary and the background rolls over and over). We reach the climax scene, with unnecessary narration augmenting the crook's scheme to stop Huck—by raising a drawbridge. Huck drives right into the sky and, casually knowing he's in full control of the situation (he isn't stupid after all, you see), lands right on the smugly laughing crook. Chase over. Case closed.
"And so we say 'hat's off' to the Freeway Patrol! Guardians of our highways. Protectors of our..." The narration's interrupted by an on-screen crash.
The narrator tries it again. "As we were saying, 'hat's off' to the Freeway Patrol. You might slow 'em down, but you can't stop 'em." The camera pulls back as Huck toodles down the street on a child's scooter.
Daws re-used incidental voices, and I'm pretty sure he used the robber's again on Fractured Fairy Tales and various petty crooks on The Flintstones. It's distinct enough that my guess is he based it on some actor in old crime movies.
There's not too much music by Bill Loose and John Seely for a change. We get a rare appearance (maybe the second) of the 'Tick Tock/Pop Goes the Weasel' mash-up (L-992) by Spencer Moore.

Daws Butler seems to have used the robber voice for the hysterical Francois cat actor ["cact-tor?:)] playing the bad feline in the TV show of the title seen in "Mark of the Mouse", which you've already covered. "Highway Patrol" itself has yet another HB connection-composer David Rose, using the name "Ray Llewllyn"[sic?], so says many references, and was used in modern day comic US radio personality Phil Hendrie's "Jay Santos" chaarcter's announcement [the show itself, an odd duck thatg debuted around 1993, is like a Jerry Springer etc. type show with the reversal of the old warhorse of gag phone calling, with the recpient, the host Phil, BEING the gag, voicing these different guests. jay Santos is the "would be cop" with the Highway Patrol theme..like a talk show with old time characters getting REAL callers angry and calling up ][supposedly not "in on it"..]
Daws's robber voice as a "woman" is funny enough...Also, Huck catchs himself calling himself a "cop" and corrects himself and the self-ref to "policeman"..
"Whenever the laws of any country are broken,
a duly authorized force steps in
It may be called:
The militia
The Rangers
or the Highway Patrol- AnonymousMarch 20, 2010 at 11:11 PM
Pokey, please clarify your comment. Is "Jay Santos" from the Phil Hendrie show supposed to sound like David Rose the composer or Daws Butler's robber voice from "Freeway Patrol"? I'm confused, Mark Kausler
ReplyDelete The "do the same thing over and over again with the same disastrous result" has a pretty decent pedigree when used correctly with a dumb character -- Avery used it at Warners with George jumping off the cliff three times in "Of Fox and Hounds" and with Daws and the 'damaged pants' gag in "Three Little Pups" -- but it has to be done with skill to avoid making the character annoyingly dumb so that the repeated actions are more irritating than funny. Daws' voice here and the character's laid-back personality make the repeated patrol car crash gags work, because as with "Pups", its the reserved reaction to the situation that makes the crashes funny.
ReplyDelete" Freeway Patrol " was one of the first " Huck " shorts I ran for my two sons when they were small. The gag that put both of them on the floor was Daws' female voice " Well Goodness Gracious, YES!!." They were never able to get past that point without losing it!. Personally, I loved the parody of the " Highway Patrol " announcer who just like Don Messick's narrator, would talk directly to the criminal at times. " Don't bet on it, robber...." If you grew up in the " Highway Patrol " era, or caught it in re-runs, you can really appreciate " Freeway Patrol".
ReplyDelete- Howard FeinMarch 24, 2010 at 5:27 AM
Not to nitpick, but one minor omission in the voice credits. I seem to remember the Patrol Chief disgustedly saying in reaction to Huck's collision with him (and in Butler's standard Jackie Gleason imitation) "Oh, no! It WOULD have to be you!" or along those lines. The same voice, or close to it, may have been used for the Dispatcher.

Mind Altering
This dealer will happily feed your habit. Be warned, though: Her stash may make your heart race, tweak your perception of reality, cause you to laugh or cry uncontrollably, and keep you up well into the night.
LaShawn Kinder opened Book Addiction this past June on Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove. "Usually when you think of the word 'addiction' you think of it in a negative connotation, but it doesn't always have to be that way," she says. The good fix you'll find here is books, plus CDs and magazines, all primarily by and/or about African Americans.
Whether it's The Murder of Biggie Smalls or Vernon Can Read!, a memoir about Vernon Jordan, or Thulani Davis's novel Maker of Saints, Book Addiction's shelves of 200 or so carefully selected publications are organized neatly by genre and contain everything from best sellers to obscure authors. Try finding works by African scholar Cheikh Anta Diop at your average megastore.
Following in the footsteps of Miami's pioneering Afro-In Books and Things, founded in 1977, Kinder, an elementary school teacher in Homestead, wants to create a "cultural meeting place" for the community, not just a bookstore. To that end she offers movies (Soul Cinema), a book group, and readings. Plans for live jazz are in the works.

Authors Nelson George, Lorna Owens, and Atlanta's Travis Hunter have already read at the store. Tananarive Due and Edwidge Danticat are on her shortlist too.
"The minute I walked in here I fell in love with the vibe," said Rebecca "Butterfly" Vaughns, a spoken-word artist who hosts the Release Yourself Friday poetry and music event there. Chanteuse Nicole Henry and soulster Big Brooklyn Red are among those who have hit the mike at Release Yourself.
Kinder felt the Grove was an ideal spot to reach residents from both north and south in the county. And though Grand Avenue could be considered something of a misnomer for the traditionally underserved area, she's not deterred. "Certain areas are blighted because no one takes the risk to put something in to turn the area around," she said.
Positive feedback has come in from everyone from the Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation to her family (her mother, Mary, and brother Edward are working closely with her in the store).
Book Addiction is her answer to the question Langston Hughes asked: "What happens to a dream deferred?" Truth be told, Kinder has been planning for this dream for about ten years. And her obsession with books and reading and the worlds they open came to her as a child: "I wasn't antisocial," she said, "but if I had a good book I wasn't going outside."
Book Addiction is located at 3805 Grand Ave, Coconut Grove. Hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; Friday until midnight.

Dollhouse hobbyists often use polymer clay to fashion dollhouse accessories, such as dishware, home decor items and even tiny fake food. You can also use it to make shoes for larger fashion dolls, such as Barbie. Sold at craft stores, polymer clay comes in a variety of colors, typically in 2-ounce packages. Instead of being baked in a kiln, polymer clay creations are baked in an oven.
Items you will need
- Small package polymer clay
- 1/8 teaspoon vegetable oil
- One toothpick
- Small cookie sheet
Tear off two equal-sized pieces of clay, one for each shoe. Look at a Barbie doll's feet and estimate how much clay you need in order to make the type of shoe you intend to fashion.
Massage each piece of clay between your fingers to make the clay pliable.
Wipe a thin layer of vegetable oil on the Barbie doll's feet. This will prevent the clay from sticking to her feet when you shape the shoes.
Press one piece of the clay on the bottom of one of her feet, and shape the shoe. Use a toothpick to help you shape and design the shoe. Make it so that the foot will slip in and out of the shoe.
Set the finished shoe aside, and make the second shoe with the other piece of clay. It should look similar to the first shoe.
Place the finished shoes on a cookie sheet and heat them in an oven according to the instructions on the clay package. Normally, this is 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the shoes from the oven and allow them to cool thoroughly. Depending on the room temperature, they should be sufficiently cool within an hour.
Wash the Barbie doll's feet with soap and warm water to remove the oil. Dry her feet before you put the cooled shoes on them.

text: ILLINOIS FARMLAND VALUE REPORT RELEASED Mar. 24, 2014 Source: Illinois Society of Professional Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers news release The rate of increase in the value of Illinois farmland has flattened and lower grain prices are to blame, according to presentations made at the Illinois Land Values Conference held here today. Hosting the event was the Illinois Society of Professional Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. "Simply put, farmland earnings are important and have been the driver on prices paid for farmland over the past few years," says Dale Aupperle, AFM, ARA, Heartland Ag Group, LLC, Forsyth, IL, and overall chair of the annual Land Values and Lease Trends project managed by the Society. "Sharply lower grain prices have diminished earnings projections and put the brakes on the uptrend in farmland values." Joining Aupperle in the presentation was Gary Schnitkey, Ph.D., University of Illinois College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, Urbana, IL. He told the group that prices paid for corn are now near $4.30 per bushel. "Prices were consistently above $5.00 from 2010 through midsummer last year. Current expectations are for lower prices into 2014." He noted that crop insurance provided farmers with a substantial amount of cash in 2012 and 2013. "Those funds are no longer coming in," he said. "Experts are forecasting farmland returns to drop by up to 20 percent." Aupperle explained that the trendline on farmland values has been upward for decades and has seen significant interruptions in the pattern three times. He said there was a 50 percent correction in farmland values from 1980 through 1987, the period of the Farm Crisis. "This was after farmland rose nearly 500 percent from 1982. This one was a bubble." The next period was 1998 through 2001 when there was a 15 percent correction "after an 11-year uptrend from 1997 with values rising by 92 percent," Aupperle said. "The last period was in 2008-2009. Values went sideways for a year after doubling in value from 2001." "Perhaps history gives us some guidance for our current thought processes," he continued. "It doesn't look like a bubble to us.A more normal time for farmland prices may be in store for the next several years. Commodity prices have led to this situation." In presenting their summary to the group, the two cited the 2014 Illinois Land Values and Lease Trends Report. This is a composite of reports from around the state on land sales and lease trends occurring in Illinois during 2013. They noted that all categories of farmland, determined by Productivity Increase, saw minor drops in values during the year: Aupperle explains that Excellent land was down 2 percent -- "With less land available but very willing buyers"; Good land was down 3 percent -- "Increased input costs are a concern;" Average land was down 4 percent -- "Buyers are likely to be neighbors in the community;" Fair land was down 7 percent -- "Popular category as land mix attracts residential, recreational and non-farm uses." Aupperle said that Recreational land was steady-to-stronger across the state and there was some activity in Transitional land near the metropolitan areas. Local farmers are still the primary buyers with estate sales leading the way in reasons for selling as well as bringing properties to the market. Public auctions (43 percent) led the list of methods of selling followed by private treaty (36 percent), sealed bid (11 percent) and multi-parcel auction (10 percent). CASH RENTS HAVE STABILIZED Cash Rents have stabilized, Schnitkey said. "Rents are slightly off the highs in 2013. This occurred because of the drop in commodity prices. We could be facing more cash rent declines if commodity prices are low in the fall this year. "Assuming a price of $3.50 for a bushel of corn and $10 for a bushel of soybeans, 92 percent of our respondents expect cash rents to drop $10 or more per acre and no one expects to see rents to increase," he noted. "We are carefully watching the influence of commodity prices, weather and yields, interest rates, net farm income, the value of the dollar, alternative investments, ethanol, and long term inflation among many other factors. Each will play a role in land values," Aupperle concluded. Other speakers on the program echoed the findings of the Land Values Report, copies of which are available for sale through the Society web site at www.ispfmra.org. Tweet |

The police, who were groping in the dark for clues, were surprised when one of the accused called the IGP (Western Range) in the morning and admitted to the crime. The accused also said he was committing suicide fearing detention.
The police have detained Yogesh Poojary (30), an autorickshaw driver from Ontibettu, Hariprasad Poojary (27) also a three-wheeler driver from Badagabettu, and Anand (28). The three will be interrogated and produced before a court. IGP (Western Range) Pratap Reddy told reporters that two of the suspects had attempted suicide and "are in the ICU at KMC Hospital." Their condition is stated to be out of danger.
Giving details, Reddy and Superintendent of Police MB Boralingaiah said Yogesh called him around 10:30 am and said that he had raped the girl and was committing suicide fearing arrest.
Realising that the call was from a hilly area and the caller was walking down the hill, the IG asked the police around nearby Hiriyadka-Athradi to trace him and take him to custody. On his information, two others were arrested. Hariprasad was detained near Parkala.
The third suspect was picked from his sister's place in Gadagabettu where he allegedly attempted to hang himself after consuming some pills. Anand worked as a driver and sometimes as a casual labour. A rioting case had been booked against Yogesh before 2005 while two others have no cases against them. All the three have admitted to committing the crime.
Reddy said the police had checked the autorickshaw a couple of days but could not identify it as it did not match the details available with them. Their information was that it had a Ganesha idol but the one they saw had a Radha-Krishna idol.
Even the sketch released by the police did not match with any of the suspects. Also, the details given by the victim and the suspects on the crime spot were not the same.
The police have to reconstruct the scene and conduct the investigation.
He hoped that the victim would cooperate with the investigation and recognise the suspects during the identification parade.
The three were drunk when they committed the offence on the night of June 20 when the fourth year MBBS student from Kerala was returning to her paying guest accommodation.

NASA mulling over supporting Bigelow Aerospace modules on moon and orbit
Nasa might join private companies in supporting various Bigelow modules in orbit and on the moon. The Bigelow modules attached to various rockets for getting on with long range exploration actually intrigue me as well:
"A study by Bigelow Aerospace, commissioned by NASA, shows 'a lot of excitement and interest from various companies' for moonbases and other space projects. The projects range from pharmaceutical research aboard Earth-orbiting habitats, to missions to the moon's surface, he said on Thursday, citing a draft of the report due to be released in a few weeks. Bigelow Aerospace surveyed about 20 companies as well as foreign space agencies and research organizations for the NASA study. NASA expects to release the first part of Bigelow's study within a few weeks. The second section is expected to be finished this fall."

S. Korea: North holds live-fire drills
North Korea conducted live-fire artillery drills near its disputed western sea boundary today, South Korean officials said, in a possible indication of rising frustration in Pyongyang as it pushes unsuccessfully for outside aid.
Both Koreas conduct such drills routinely, but they can be sensitive because North Korea doesn't acknowledge the U.N.-drawn sea boundary near South Korean islands and the North Korean mainland in the Yellow Sea.
Last month, South Korea fired artillery shells into the North's waters after North Korean…

So with Autumn/Winter 2013 Fashion Week underway, I'm going to be filling you in with each day's highlights as they come - selecting my favourites and telling you how these amazing designs could be some of your favourite pieces of Autumn 2013!
One of my favourite designers from today's Fashion shows is Zoë Jordan! I loved the wide range of patterns and textures that graced their way down the catwalk! I found the whole of the show so wearable - especially the warm oranges and fur jackets (though maybe not together)! Zoe is definitely a designer to watch! With such original designs, I'd definitely fill my winter wardrobe with Zoe's designs.
Bora Aksu was another designer to watch today in London. I'm obsessed with the stunning patterns of this collection (especially the far right!). The start of the show focused on neutral colours - from the transition of Summer to Autumn and the later part was a pop of colour in the form of fuchsias and raspberry pinks. Like many of the Fashion Week collections, there was so many gorgeous textures in the range, and headpieces seem to a central way to accessorize for this Autumn.
Textures went to a whole new level in the KTZ collection today. I hope you like a lot of leather! Everything leather, from shoes, leggings to jackets - made the KTZ range so distinctive, yet linked beautifully. Oversized hat's looked great, and the vibrant colours in similar collections (Zoë Jordan) also appeared in KTZ collection, and look great in contrast to the dark tones!
So, that's my highlights from today's London Fashion Week, I'll be posting more over the next few days - so lookout.
Also, I'm currently preparing for my first Giveway - how exciting!
Lots of Love,

I strongly recommend Nathan for employment as a member of your waiting team. He has shown to be an excellent worker here at Gordon's Restaurant and we were sorry to hear that his studies are taking him out of the region.
Nathan was a welcome addition to our team from day one and during the two years he has worked here has distinguished himself as a quick learner, competent worker and overall a bright young man. Always punctual, he often volunteered to cover the shifts of his colleagues when there was need.
Nathan has a pleasant, good tempered spirit and keeps calm in stressful situations. On one especially busy night, during which two other servers called in sick, I remember he serving a dozen tables at once, keeping every customer happy. He made it all look effortless!
I wish him all the best in his future.

There are four character types among people: One who says "What is mine is mine, what is yours is yours," is an average character. Some say this is the character of Sodom. One who says, "What is mine is yours and what is yours is mine," is an ignoramus. One who says "What is mine is yours and what is yours is yours" is a godly person. And one who says "What is mine is mine and what is yours is mine" is a lawless person.
===from Pirke Avot
I was thinking about this line today during Shabbat services, contemplating what, exactly, the broad spectrum of the Congregation knows about what goes on at CBE on Shabbat. The diversification of our services on any given Shabbat is a true blessing--it's a great expression of the varied expressions of Jewish character along with social and spiritual aspirations of the community from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Some synagogues would be so pleased to have the vibrancy we have.
And in the general silos of experience, most of our membership (and certainly the non-members who avail themselves of our synagogue on Shabbat) would agree. We like what we have.
The challenge, with this particular text, is which category does it place us with regard to Shabbat? In some regards, it's kind of "average" for most synagogues to accept the diversification of its membership with the expression of "what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours," meaning "you do your thing on Shabbat and I'll do mine." It has a live and let live quality to it that is certainly not coercive or damaging but I often lament that it leaves something to be desired.
Could it be the element of "godliness," however the rabbis meant that term to be understood in Pirke Avot? "Mine is mine and yours is yours" lacks godliness, according to Samson Raphael Hirsch because it "expunges from the heart and mind the guiding principle of lovingkindness." Hirsch speaks for the aspirational aims of rabbinic Judaism in naming lovingkindness as a goal we are destined to obtain. It takes practice to get there.
The habitual attainment of this value is key. What makes someone "average" according to the Sages is that he or she merely focuses on oneself without regard to sharing with others; the element of Sodom (here a marker for avarice) is found when one says "mine is mine" really in a kind of hoarding way, where "yours is yours" has the gloss of "get what you can because I'm going to get what I can. That's why the Sages link so closely the "average" impulse with the impulse of Sodom. It's a harsh view but it's instructive.
With regard to social engagement at CBE, I'm interested in what would happen to the community if there was more habitual cross-pollinating. If individuals who enjoy the benefit of how they spend their Shabbat would purposely go to another's place, as it were, in order to declare, in lovingkindness, what is mine is yours and what is yours is yours. Which I think would mean: I fully embrace how you spend your Shabbat.
New York is a very focused town. It operates quickly, sometimes a bit too coldly, and generally according to the principle of tunnel vision. We move, like digits, throughout the system, rarely stopping to contemplate the meaning of it all. Shabbat insists on that ritualized pause, that breath of reflection and understanding, which arguably, creates more room for lovingkindness.
So please try it sometime.
Next time you walk into one of the two buildings for "your" particular Shabbat experience, visit mine, and his, and hers. And see if the urge to lovingkindness, the goal we are destined to obtain, can be brought forth.
On Fridays, there is always one service and twice a month there are two. Here is the menu to choose from on Saturdays (New Yorkers love choice on their menus):
1. Torah Study
2. Shir L'Shabbat
3. Yachad Family Shabbat
4. More Adult Study at Yachad
5. Bar/Bat Mitzvah Service
6. Lay-Led Minyan
7. Alt-shul (twice a month)
Funny how it turns out to be "7."
We didn't plan it that way.
It is just one of those goals we are destined to obtain.

My client ordered these mugs twice and in both cases while the color band (blue) at the bottom stayed strong and true, the actual custom imprint came off in the dishwasher. The first time, 4Imprint reprinted the mugs to try to make it right. The second time, they still washed off. It's a shame these days to have to tell people that a mug must be hand washed, but that is what my client must do -- we have washed these in a variety of dishwashers with a variety of soaps and it always washes off.

Vintage Baby Girl Shower
I was able to throw another baby shower this weekend for a sweet
friend of mine who is having a girl.
I had a lot of fun planning this,
but it really makes me want a little girl....
I wanted the party to have a vintage feel, so I used pinks, reds, blues, and yellow. It was colorful, and everything "matched" that way.
Here is the treat table-
I made Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
(I added little pearls, how cute??)
Recipe found here.
I made the frosting the morning of the shower, and it was yummy.
I made the cupcakes the day before, and they were DELICIOUS right out of the oven.
Unfortunately they were a little dry the next day... so I suggest making them the
day of, if you have time.
For the favors, I made little vintage frames out of Almond Bark- I colored some with food coloring, and flavored some with Watermelon flavoring.
I found the cute mold here.
I was lucky enough to snag up the cute gazebo before anyone else, which saved me a reservation fee.
Yay for free parks.
Cute balloon idea found here!
The gift/favor table.
I used vintage sheets as table cloths ~
We had a great turnout and a lot of fun.
~Let me know if you have any questions~
I will be linking this up to some of the awesome blogs found here.
Baby Shower,
20 comments:
I love all things vintage too. I love the vintage frames you made, so cute! I saw you featured on a blog I follow and decided to stop by. I am now following you. I would appreciate if you would stop by my blog http://talesfrommyjournal.blogspot.com I can also be found in facebook too http://www.facebook.com/DeniseMartin.LillaRose and twitter @DeniseLillaRose If you like/follow me there I will do the same for you. When you stop by my blog, please check out my kind of fashion (hair jewelry) which I think has a vintage flare.

With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together?

Our customer reviews
Previously published on my blog: http://fictionfervor.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/review-city-of-glass-by-cassandra-clare/
This book was one thrill of a ride.
There was the action, and the romance, and the loss, and the puzzles solved, and the tying things up together. (For those of you who don't know, Cassandra Clare originally intended The Mortal Instruments to be a trilogy, but after publishing City of Glass, she decided to extend it to add three more books.) Everything that I love in a book.
But there just seems to be one key element missing. That feeling of exhilaration, that feeling of contentment that seeps into my bones. Where was it?
Cassandra Clare's world is undoubtedly unique. I love the idea of Shadowhunters. I love the angels and demons and vampires and werewolves and faeries and warlocks. The plot in these books was mind-gripping, nerve-wracking. The characters were adorable and caught the attention of thousands of readers.
But Cassandra's writing is not enchanting. The world she has created is too simple. There were few plot twists. The problems that Valentine imposes are too easily fixed. Where is the ingenuity of a bestselling author? Where are the little details that escape the reader who later realizes that those were essential to the plotline? Where is that captivating feeling that only the best have mastered?
I'm being harsh, I know. But I had incredibly high expectations for this last book in the trilogy (before it was extended). I had hoped-no, expected-that Cassie Clare would have made this last book epic and unforgettable. But alas, no.
All the same, City of Glass was still a good book-but only good. The characters had developed even further, I'll give her that. The action had increased. The plot was slightly more complex.
But all I can think about is how this fell way below my expectations. And I feel just incredibly disappointed.show more
by Linda
I really have to stop reading books out by the pool. When I do this, especially with the good books, I forget about the thing called the "sun" and I end up getting roasted. I should've known better yesterday when I sat down to read Cassandra Clare's CITY OF GLASS. I should've known that I was not going to be able to put down the book, and now, unlike Simon who is not affected by the sun, I am a little bit burned.
It has been one really long - as well as crazy, heartbreaking, exhilarating, and anxiety-filled - month for Clary. She has been one busy girl - mixing it up with vampires, werewolves, and fairies, fighting demons, and falling in love completely and totally. Like I said, it has been one helluva month for Clary.
When we last saw her, both Clary and Jace were reeling from the fact that they were brother and sister. I think you were able to hear a collective moan of "oh no" across the country when everyone reading the book got to that part. On top of that, her mother was in a coma and Simon, her BFF, was turned into a vampire. Seriously, can anything else go wrong?
Welcome to the final chapter in THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS trilogy.
The trip has been planned. Everyone is going to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters. Clary was going to save her mother, learn more about her past. Life was going to be good once again. However, keep in mind the saying "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry"....
So what goes wrong? For starters, Jace doesn't want her to go, claiming that it is too dangerous, especially if people, the wrong people, find out what she can do with runes. Then the Forsaken attack before Clary arrives, wrecking havoc and forcing everyone left alive (including Simon) to escape through the portal to Idris.
It is not easy getting into Idris. You have to get permission from the ruling body, and if you enter without permission, you run the risk of death. Uh oh.... now how in the world is Clary going to save her mother? Clave be damned is how, and she draws her own portal rune to transport her. Luke latches on at the last second in hopes of saving her, but it is too late - and they both wind up in Idris.
Good news is they made it; bad news is that Downworlders like Luke aren't exactly welcome.
The action in this installment starts early and doesn't let up until the very last page, but now with Clary, Luke, and Simon (who really shouldn't be there) in Idris, the twists and turns really begin. If you thought what happened on the ship in the last book was intense, you haven't read anything yet. Valentine, who has yet to show all of his cards, is planning something huge. He is just itching to use the mortal cup and he already has the sword. Everybody is on full alert, ready to battle for his or her lives.
I don't want to reveal that many spoilers, so lets just say Ms. Clare wrote a satisfying conclusion that will please her legions of fans. There is a lot going on in this book, that much I will say. This one was probably my favorite out of the three. The story moved at a very good pace and delved more into the relationships that have entwined all of the characters together. Familial issues take center stage, and romantic issues also abound.
There is also one really big surprise. Does that mean Jace and Clary are together in the end?
I'm not telling....show more

Green Bay's Kennedy Elementary has been chosen as one of 34 Super Schools by the NFL PLAY 60's Back to Football campaign, an initiative that encourages schools to demonstrate their Packers spirit while also dedicating time to the health and wellness of today's youth.
Kennedy's prizes for their efforts are a $10,000 NFL PLAY 60 grant from the NFL, to put toward health and wellness programming or equipment, and a visit from Packers linebacker
To celebrate the start of the 2011 NFL season, fans were encouraged to demonstrate their passion for their favorite NFL teams and their excitement for the upcoming season by planning a unique Back to Football Friday event for their school, all to support youth health and wellness. Schools that entered the Back to Football Friday contest at www.NFLRUSH.com/BackToFootball submitted photos of their event and answered brief essay questions. Butte des Morts Elementary School in Menasha, Wis., was last season's winner.
As a supporter of Back to Football Friday, Dick's Sporting Goods has provided special offers at retail cost for NFL fans who participate in a celebration, as well as a $500 gift certificate to each of the "NFL PLAY 60 Super Schools."
Designed to tackle childhood obesity, NFL PLAY 60 brings together the NFL's long-standing commitment to health and fitness with partner organizations like United Way. Since the program was launched in 2007, the NFL has committed more than $250 million to youth health and fitness through programming, grants, and media time for PSAs.
Kids and parents can learn more about Back To Football and NFL PLAY 60 at www.NFLRUSH.com/play60.

Didn't he leave Bc everyone at USC was allowed to leave if they wanted due to sanctions?
its a dumb mock. they got demontre moore at 17
quote:At this point, I think we're desperate enough for a pass rusher that i'd risk it.
Jones supposedly has concerns about an old neck injury, and inability to play the run
At this point, I think we're desperate enough for a pass rusher that i'd risk it
but switching to a 3-4 has a lot to do with getting those 2 really good pass rushers on the field. Just switching to a 3-4 to get Junior and Tez on the field full time greatly improves the pass rush.
We are all hoping this is the case, but honestly we really dont know. Gallete has shown more flashes than Martez, but even so, it wouldnt hurt to have all 3 on the team.

The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce put out a tourism travel guide listing the ten ways you can get to Los Angeles. It won't work out. If you want to get to Los Angeles, you have to get here the way everybody else does, through a series of bad personal choices.
Wisdom of the Psychopaths was published Monday which says that fifteen percent of Americans are near-psychopathic. It's a controversial conclusion. The only diagnosis everybody agrees on today is that any voter who is still uncommitted should be committed.
Washington state voters may legalize and tax marijuana in the upcoming November election. Tons of pot are grown in federal park lands in the Pacific Northwest. The feds noticed the problem when large groups of bears began following the Dave Matthews band.
Dallas police were accused last week of giving out traffic tickets to people who don't speak English and then can't furnish proof of U.S. citizenships. Have you ever heard of such an idea? If we did that in California, we could balance the state budget within a week.

President Obama introduced a new booklet Tuesday revealing his economic plan for America. In a radio address Obama said that we've finally begun to put the brakes on this recession. That's very welcome news, except the brakes were made by General Motors.
