William O. Douglas Quotes About ConstitutionQuotes about: Constitution
The framers of the constitution knew human nature as well as we do. They too had lived in dangerous days; they too knew the suffocating influence of orthodoxy and standardized thought. They weighed the compulsions for restrained speech and thought against the abuses of liberty. They chose liberty.
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights we designed to get the government off the backs of the people -- all the people. Those great documents guarantee to us all the rights to personal and spiritual self-fulfillment. But that guarantee is not self-executing. As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we all must be most aware of the change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
What we must remember, however, is that preservation of liberties does not depend on motives. A suppression of liberty has the same effect whether the suppressor be a reformer or an outlaw. The only protection against misguided zeal is constant alertness to infractions of the guarantees of liberty contained in our Constitution. Each surrender of liberty to the demands of the moment makes easier another, larger surrender. . .
We recognize the force of the argument that the effects of war under modern conditions may be felt in the economy for years and years, and that if the war power can be used in days of peace to treat all the wounds which war inflicts on our society, it may not only swallow up all other powers of Congress but largely obliterate the Ninth and the Tenth Amendments as well.

Have you heard the phrase "follow your heart and you will be successful" and wondered what it means? Simply, it is not living a lie by leading a life that is not meant for you or doing things that make you miserable and unfulfilled. Following your heart is about pursuing your dreams and doing what makes you happy and feels right.
"Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life." ~ Wayne Dyer
Think of yourself as an explorer on a voyage of self-discovery and your heart is the compass to steer you to where you can live the life you truly want. A is where you are now and Z is the place you want to be. So how do you get from A to Z? There is no secret formula because we are all different, with unique skills and talents that we were born with and have learned. You need to focus on these and on what you feel passionate about, and in time, happiness and success will follow. There is no step-by-step guide, but there are basic directions you can follow.
How Do You Know What You Really Want?
Do you wake up not looking forward to the day ahead and feel unfulfilled by the end? If the answer is yes, then something is lacking in your life. Reading this article means that you want to do something about it. So how do you know what that is? Simple – ask your heart: Why do I feel like I do? What do I feel passionate about? What is the perfect life for me? What changes could I make to achieve that life?
How Does Your Heart Answer You?
In the same way that you can ask your heart questions, your heart can talk to you. It does this with signals. These signals vary from one person to another. It could be your inner voice telling you to do something or your intuition telling you that something is right or wrong. People often think they have no control over their lives and that the path they're on is the only one they can follow. This isn't true. You are where you are now because of choices and decisions you have made and you can make further decisions to shift direction. Only when you are doing what you love will your life change for the better.
How To Start the Journey?
* Heading into unknown territory can be scary, so have the courage to follow your heart
* Focus on the things that you fell passionate about
* Be aware of things and people around you and focus on things you want to attract in your life
* Focus on the positive, not the negative
* Practice meditation to get in tune with your intuitive senses
* Stay the course by imagining yourself already in the life you want
* Be inspired and connect with people who are following their dreams
* Read blogs of personal development guides who can advise you
Follow Your Heart but Don't Ignore Your Mind
Many people have been trained to use their minds to reach decisions. By following your heart, you don't suddenly have to ignore your mind. Let your heart and your head work together. The more you trust in yourself and follow your heart, the easier it will get to interpret the signals. Sometimes the messages may be confusing. If you are unsure, use your mind to help you make the decision to do something or to wait. Feel your way one step at a time and things will start to happen.


text: As a mother, I may not be thinking clearly, so I am hoping for some outside views...I have been through a lot with my 14yr old son (I'm sure i dont even have to explain) and I finally got approval and acceptance for an Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) near Philly, PA. The program was great, I saw an immediate change in my son, and our last meeting on 12/21 was requesting additional 90 days from insurance to start the discharge . His points for the month were 90 out of 100, he was working on community service, he even got hired for a job as a teacher's aide to pay off some of his fines!! well...he privately asks me if I can request a building change for him because alot of kids have been harassing him, hitting him, and one even put him in a headlock until he passed out. He refused to give specific names so they couldnt do much more. he came for a home pass on 12/23 when he told me the night prior two boys came into his bedroom, one held the door locked and the other chocked him and said he was going to get a "hommie" (homicide charge). My son told me there is no way he can go back down there bcase staff saw the other kid leaving his room and he lost his home pass, so he was waiting for my son to come back. I advised my son he had to return, to avoid getting in trouble himself, and that I would go back with him. All holiday he would through out the day say "you dont understand" I cant go back...Well, come time to go back, he walks out to car and disappears. He ended up running away for 4 days until I heard from him. Meantime, he was discharged from Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), and since on probation, ordered a ca pious. I had him turn himself in to our county detention center when he did return, where he is residing until his court hearing end of January. I understood why he initially ran, but he took advantage to hook up with old friends, and has tested positive for weed. Probation wanted him to to return to the same facility, but I fought it because of all that happened, even though the staff was very cooperative with a safety plan, there are too many clicks and it is too intimidating for him to continue with- progress. HERE IS WHERE I NEED HELP: I want him to be released into my custody with MST (mulitsytematic therapy), homeschool provided by the school district for the rest of the year, and i also am willing to hire a friend of family private tutor, he can remain on complete house arrest and elecotronic monitoring/// ***Probation wants him to remain in detention until he is accepted into another Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) program somewhere else. If he is not eligible for Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) then they will refer him for juvenile facility placement. This would mean 1-2 more months in detention (if not more) until they find a facility, then he would be starting over and another 4-6+ months in the actual placement. Am I unreasonale to not see how all this flip flopping can be beneficial? I think he should be home with- his family now. He's done his time- over 5 months now. He didnt graduation due to circumstances beyond his control, although he could have handled it at home better. He mentioned other things happened aside from what he told me. He is a very introverted and untrusting kid; I am lucky he even told me that much. I am so afraid he is going to regress after it took this long to open him up. PLEASE HELP ME THINK CLEARLY!!!

Carol, that's a good suggestion. We designed the mobile apps to implement GPS to guide you right to the RestingSpot, but it does make it difficult if there's no physical marker to ultimately search for. A 'notes about Restingspot' feature might be something to discuss.

Disney's Aulani resort is a beautiful hotel located on the South side of Oahu. It is definitely out of the way and located on the road to Waianae. Alumni is an upscale Disney resort, it's not a Disney theme park. There are thoughtful tributes to the Hawaiian culture with some Disney magic sprinkled in. We found the Aulani to be clean with a highly trained and approachable Disney staff. Here are 7 tips to enjoying Disney's Aulani resort!
Collect Your Wristbands
Each morning get your wristbands! They are needed to borrow towels and other items. The popular thing to do is to stack them on your wrists! My girls had fun collecting these!
Explore the Pools
There are several pools on the Aulani property but we stuck to the kiddie splash area while A ran around with a friend she made to the other pools. The slides and lazy river are the best aspects of the resort, even I went down the tunnel slide! The Menehune Bridge is a large play structure that looked fun, but it was super crowded so my kids stuck to the pools. When the pool area was busy there were any slide floats available to use. Protip: If you want to experience the single or double slide donut, try the area in the morning.
Visit Aunty's Beach House (Kids Club)
The Kids Club has a sign-up line earlier in the morning. Inside there are art and crafts tables, video games, dress up and a great staff on hand. Both of my kids ended up staying for around 2 hours, enough time for P and I to get a drink and hand out in the adult pools. Children need to be a minimum of three years old and potty trained. There were so many fun things to do in this space that neither wanted to leave so when we return we will be sure to book longer times at the kids club.
Purchase a Reusable Mug
Invest in a refillable mug! Aulani serves delicious Kona coffee and every morning we enjoyed it while the kids played in the water. In the afternoon, we filled it up with lemonade or water for a cool drink when we needed a break from the cocktails! In addition, keep an eye out for the "mickey water" jugs of fruit water that are sprinkled throughout the resort. We filled our mug several times this way.
Investigate the Daily Activities
The Daily'Iwa is the daily schedule which details the free activities the resort provides. My kids fed the fish, met various characters and did other activities that we found through the Daily'Iwa. It's a great perk that the resort offers, however, the schedule isn't delivered to the room. You can find copies at the front desk each morning.
Stock up on Food
There is an ABC store across the street from the resort and it's a quick 10-minute walk from the front lobby. We stocked up on snacks and were impressed but the variety of items they had! The resort has several restaurants and two quick service eateries if you don't want to leave the resort. We didn't find a ton of healthy food options, Disney options include lots of fried items so we stopped at Target to pick up fresh fruit and whole grain crackers/bread.
Borrow Your Gear
Alumni provides free sand toys, boogie boards, and life jackets to borrow! Just head to the Makahiki Joe's Beach Shack for more information!

Launcher Widget Issues
I've used a lot of different Android launchers over the years, and even purchased several of them, but I always end up coming back to the stock launcher for one reason or another. Lately, EVERY launcher I try has failed miserably at the same thing: Displaying a 4×4 calendar widget I use very often. If… Read More »

Steve Chiotakis: Protesters with the Occupy Los Angeles movement are asking a federal judge for an injunction to stop the city from evicting them from their camp in downtown LA. Meanwhile, in London, banking giant UBS is working to clear Occupy protesters there who have taken over a big, empty office building.
Christopher Werth explains.
Christopher Werth: Protester Pete Phoenix guides me through the dark four-story building he and dozens of others have occupied for the past week.
Pete Phoenix: In the same way that banks repossess people's houses, we've repossessed this on behalf of, you know, a lot of people.
The protesters have dubbed the building the "Bank of Ideas" -- a place where the Occupy movement can discuss solutions to the global economic crisis. They're holding workshops on things like bank taxes, and have invited community youth groups to move in.
If UBS wants the building back, it's likely to have a long legal battle ahead of it. The bank has asked a court for permission to evict the protesters, but that could take weeks.
Mark Davies is a property lawyer with the London law firm Healys. He says that's because, in the U.K., squatters who occupy empty buildings enjoy certain rights.
Mark Davies: What it means effectively is that UBS can't use force to chuck the squatters out; it'll have to go through the courts.
In fact, doing so could come with a fine of nearly $8,000. UBS declined an interview request, but in a written statement said it's "aware of the situation." The British government is considering a bill that would make squatting a criminal offense, punishable by up to a year in jail. But Leon Glenister of the website, Law Think, says the protesters follow a long tradition rooted in English law.
Leon Glenister: It comes from the old way of doing property, which is that the way old villages would determine who owned certain property would just be who was living there.
Back at the "Bank of Ideas," Pete Phoenix says the protesters have asked the Swiss bank UBS to let them stay.
Phoenix: Why don't we all talk to each other? You know maybe the Swiss want to help out with some community projects.
Nearby, protesters have been camped outside St. Paul's cathedral since October. The City of London has been in court for the past several weeks trying to evict them.
In London, I'm Christopher Werth for Marketplace.

Nurses Caring for Soldiers and Their Families
Historically, nurses have been caring for wounded warriors since Florence Nightingale went to the Crimean War. Today's nurses in all healthcare settings are caring in some way for veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and other sites of conflict. Nurses outside the military are neither typically familiar with the diagnosis and treatments the signature invisible wounds of recent conflicts, nor with the availability of resources: we now need to get them adequately informed and trained.
In 2012, the ANA began a national effort in coordination with the Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Defense (DoD) to train nurses to understand the needs of those who have served, to recognize the warning signs of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or suicide; and know where to send veterans and their families for help. The ANA's Joining Forces initiative by hosting a meeting in March 2012 for nursing leaders to discuss strategies for a profession wide campaign to improve awareness of TBI and PTSD among nurses. These nurse leaders formed a Steering Committee and began meeting regularly by phone to explore how best practices can be incorporated into specialty settings.
ANA challenged professional nursing organizations to pledge to expand their knowledge and activities related to veterans' health. To date over 200 organizations pledged to reach out to nurses with evidence based resources and training. Additionally, more than 650 nursing schools pledged to add TBI and PTSD to their curricula.
For a nationwide initiative that mobilizes 1% of our nation's population, there is a clearly a corresponding need for funds. ANF, with ANA, has identified four broad needs for funding in order to:
The American Nurses Foundation (ANF) has prioritized support of the ANA Joining Forces Initiative as a key component to its mission of "transforming the nation's health through the power of nursing."
Invisible Wounds of War
The signature wounds of recent wars are often invisible. Their impact, however, has become increasingly visible in the public eye. More than 44,000 of our troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan have sustained at least moderate traumatic brain injuries (TBI). As many as one in six who served, i.e. more than 300,000 Americans, have been impacted by PTSD and TBI as a result of their service to this country. Similar numbers have been estimated for those exhibiting signs of post-deployment depression. These invisible wounds impact the military service member's and veteran's ability to function, can damage relationships with family and friends, complicate perceptions of pain and delay the healing of physical wounds.
Over two million soldiers have returned since 2001 and many times that number of Americans has been affected as spouses, parents, children, and friends. Families are coping with veterans' mental illness, increased drug and alcohol dependence, higher rates of violence including homicide, child abuse and neglect, high risk behaviors that have resulted in increased numbers automobile accidents and drug overdoses, homelessness and divorce, and clinical levels of stress among the children. The costs of war extend beyond the veterans themselves to the communities in which they live.
Many veterans are not living with PTSD/TBI at all. In 2010, a DoD task force charged with studying military suicides reported that between 2005 and 2009 there were 1,100 military suicides – more than the number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan since 2001. Averaged, that meant a suicide every 36 hours. Since then, the numbers have risen.

Friedman seemed to write his last chapter differently than the rest of the book. It seems he finally came to terms with the "real world" versus the economically ideal feeling instilled in me that I often had after reading Laws Order. To begin, I believe that it is completely correct for judges to care about things such as "justice or "fairness". Although they may be not be economically effiecient all of the time their is nothing wrong with that. Judges are NOT economists, nor should they be. Although I happed to find myself on the efficiency side of the ailse often, their are times when other things take priority. Judges should be allowed to do the job they were designed to do.
As Kelsey already pointed out, a key passage is on pg. 299 where Friedman explains that the market is unable to correct poor decisions judges may make through natural feedback, "No comparable mechanism exists to push judges toward efficiency." Exactly! Are judges and the United States judiciary in general not created specifically to be insulted from outside pressures and forces? Nearly every aspect of our high-level judicial appointments–lifetime tenure for good behavior, nominated not elected, private and secretive nature, informal code of coduct, dress, and behavior–are in place specifically to counterbalance the whims of the people, and I would argue, the market. While Friedman is completely correct in saying that one important judge can do "an enourmous amount of damage…billions of dollars down the drain", how would increased market pressure effect this?
First I ask exactly what kind of market feedback would create outcome that are more efficient in our judiciary. Second, how can we structure such feedback in a way that only allows it to fix ineffiecent and harmful judicial precedents without opening up the judiciary to every form of political and societal pressure the plagues the other branches of government. Our congress is closely alligned to the people will, especially on issues that approach consensus, and yet they seem to be consistently not trusted and even demonized. My vote, leave one branch insulated. Unfortuneatly, as my post last week points out, we currently have two insulated branches–the judiciary and the bureaucracy.
I conclude by quoting Friedman, "A more serious problem with testing the thesis [Posner's] is that often we simply do not know what the efficient rule is." Ah, its never been better stated. I would classify myself as at least a relatively intelligient and informed individual yet I am never certain my choices are efficient according to my own rationality. Do we seriously expect the courts to divine efficient outcomes every time? Even economist disagree on the "right" solutions. Ultimately, i applaud continued efforts to apply economics to our world for it own betterment yet I am content with the fact that our judges are allowed to use the common law to rule, or better yet, judge, on each case individually occasionally.

NEW YORK -- In another era, Don Mattingly would've spent the final hours before game-time in the batting cage, working on his swing, not unlike a mechanic under the hood of an expensive car.
These days, Mattingly is just as obsessed with hitting, but is busy evolving from star to former star to official caretaker of what the Yankees believe is the greatest lineup they've ever assembled.
This is no small experiment, for both Mattingly and the Bombers. Mattingly's a rookie hitting instructor, taking his first step up George Steinbrenner's corporate ladder, all but christened as a future manager by Joe Torre, who said, "Donnie can go as far as he wants in this organization."
That endorsement flatters Mattingly, but hardly alters his vision of the future, which is measured one hitting tutorial at a time.
"I've got enough to keep me busy without thinking about that other stuff," Mattingly said with a smile. That work load includes fine-tuning the Yankees' offense, which, on the surface, seems like a dream job-description. He is, after all the most popular modern-day alumnus in the Yankee family, and has become Steinbrenner's personal favorite.
Still, Mattingly also knows the tremendous responsibility he's accepted and the fact that he'll inevitably be targeted by the Boss -- if not soon, than soon enough.
After all, Yankee hitting instructors are magnets for blame. Mattingly's predecessor, the hard-working Rick Down, was fired soon after Game 6 of last year's World Series, partly because of Jason Giambi's .250 batting average, Alfonso Soriano's 1-in-3 strikeout to at-bat ratio in the postseason, and mostly because the Bombers never came close to threatening Florida's Josh Beckett in the final game of the Series.
Without any prior full-time experience, Mattingly is being counted to repair the nicks and dents from the 2003 edition. As much as the Yankees' lineup represents a hitting instructor's vision of heaven, having that much firepower leaves Mattingly in a virtual no-win situation.
If the Yankees score 1,000 runs this season, it's only because they're supposed to: they have last year's AL home run champ (Alex Rodriguez) batting third, a former MVP winner (Jason Giambi) batting fourth, and Gary Sheffield, who drove in more runs than any Yankee last year, batting fifth.
And if the Yankees don't hit? It's hard to imagine the offense being smothered, yet the Bombers found themselves being no-hitted for five innings by Tampa Bay's Paul Abbott Wednesday afternoon, struggling mightily to squeeze out a 3-2 win.
Of course, the Yankees' first four games, all against the D-Rays, are too small of a sample to draw any real conclusions, but when there were questions to be asked -- about A-Rod's .188 batting average for the first four games, for example -- it was Mattingly who was sought for answers.
"It's early, I'm not worried about our hitting," he said. "A baseball season is like the (Kentucky) Derby. Lots of horses get out of the gate fast, but how many of them finish?"
Such confidence was one of Mattingly's primary assets as a hitter; it now serves him well as hitting instructor, too. The Yankees are wildly enthusiastic about Mattingly's willingness to listen, his work-ethic, which in Giambi's words, "is off the charts" and his understanding of situational hitting.
"Whatever Donnie talks to you about, you better listen, because he's been there and done everything," said Bernie Williams. "Not many hitting instructors have his experience. Donnie's points all come from his playing days."
"To me, the big thing is that Donnie understands what it's like to play hurt. That helps," said Giambi. "It matters a lot when the guy who's working with you has actually been in your shoes."
Only 42, Mattingly relates to the Yankees partly because he's still considered a contemporary; he still walks and talks and looks like a professional athlete. Indeed, the Yankees suspect that, if he really wanted, Mattingly could get in the cage and deliver the clean line drives that made him New York's best first baseman in the mid '80s.
Even as recently as 1999, when he was just 37, Mattingly was being urged to turn back the clock. He was four years into retirement and visiting Yankee spring training as a guest instructor, but on a back field after batting practice, Mattingly and Tino Martinez and a handful of veterans found the perfect opportunity to see whether the former captain still had his skills.
"Come on, Donnie, just a couple of hacks," Martinez urged Mattingly.
The first baseman had fought the urge to swing a bat ever since leaving the game in 1995. Finally, Mattingly surrendered. He stepped into the cage, leaned over the plate as he'd done thousands of times in his career, and quickly discovered the bat-speed hadn't left him.
Mattingly hit three or four line drives -- perfectly smoked, right from the bat's sweet spot.
"It was all right there," he recalled. Just as quickly as the session started, however, Mattingly walked away. No sense taxing his chronically-troubled lower back. No sense pretending he was still The Man, even though the sense of nostalgia was indeed overpowering.
It felt so good, Mattingly never returned to the cages. Not that day, not ever since.
Today, Mattingly says, "I've accepted the fact that I'm never going to be what I was. It's enough for me to help these guys do the things they're capable of. That's what makes me happy now."

Picture Perfect. Quality at Canon: In translation, different quality models apply for different content
By Bjorn Harris, Canon
Living just south of London, this was the perfect opportunity to visit the Welocalize LocLeaders Forum. As this was my second LocLeaders Forum, I knew even before arriving, that it would be a fruitful and thought-provoking day.
I was delighted to be able to share and give insight into how we manage our quality control process for the localization of our digital camera range at Canon. Canon is a world leader in imaging products and solutions and people all around the world use Canon products. They need to understand, in their native language, how to use our products. The localization strategy is crucial. We have to get translation quality right or people all around the world won't be able to get the best out of their Canon product.
Canon invests heavily in enriching the user's experience through the product, software and manual.
For hardware manufacturers like Canon, there is always a higher level of risk where products and manuals are printed, boxed and shipped; a serious issue in boxed content can be very costly to rectify. As companies move more content digitally, whilst the quality levels for user-experience remain as high, we come across other challenges; the need to update content is faster, quicker and more efficient. Different quality models apply for different content.
Quality is always a challenge. No one wants to constantly spend money reviewing vendor quality, but yet we all feel the need to do it. I think the answer is how to set the quality model and how to tailor the quality process appropriately. Get out of the challenging circle of introducing more and more (expensive) quality checks at every stage in the localization process.
I also realise that metrics, whilst they have their use, are not always the answer to finding the issues and making improvements – too many variables that can skew the results. It is very much down to "confidence". If we have the confidence that the quality from our vendors is high, that our vendors are spending and investing in quality, we can respond with reducing the checks in our QA process. This takes time, but once achieved, moves quality up-stream, reduces cost at both the vendor and client side and allows us to get to market quicker.
It was interesting to hear what other companies had to say around this topic. There is no one silver bullet solution and no one quality model fits all.
The LocLeaders Forum is always worth its weight in gold, being able to catch-up with fellow industry colleagues and see how others are managing in the fast-paced world we all live in.
Lovely setting, great views of London and lots of pictures taken using Canon cameras!

i finish writing my fourth novel
may 19, 2001
I discovered I was a writer when I was a child.
It's a sixth finger or third testicle that once found, can't be undiscovered.
I've just finished writing my fourth novel, As Dead As Me, this week.
I feel depressed.
I always do once a novel is finished.
Writing a novel is different from any other type of writing. It's different from most other types of activity. Because of a novel's length, because you must sink down into its world, a world that evolves with your exploration, interior continents changing shape as you walk above the trees on sentences snapping up under your shoes as you write them, a novel tends to become a part of you. One of those periods in your life you look back on later and realize was not formless, but an episode, like taking a long journey, creating a garden, lying sick in bed through a disease.
As I neared the end, knowing more than my characters did, indeed knowing their fates, I found myself writing less and less each day, to linger longer among these people, because I finally knew them so well by now, after so many months, even though none of them existed, even though the world they inhabited did not exist, was not even as substantial as a transparent bubble, even though they and their world, still, felt to me hot as a teardrop. That has to be a special type of sorrow, to say goodbye, forever, to people who do not exist. Because as long as a novel is unfinished, you as the writer can think up all sorts of 'what-if' situations the characters can still get into. But once you finish, everybody gets set in stone. The vibrant life you breathed, leaves. Readers don't realize it, but when they crack open a novel, it's already become a museum.
In the midst of the writing, when that world was growing happier each sunrise, I moved forward up to 3,500 words a day. The final day, this past Thursday, I wrote the last 783 words.
Looking back on my life so far, I can see now, from this distance, the events which shaped me, and which constitute me. The time I spent with my grandparents as a child, working in New York City in my late teens, living in California, Mary and me traveling for a quarter-year across America and Canada, getting our cats, rising within the company I worked for, building our garden.
The writing of the four novels I've produced so far: Always Again, Father Figure, Kid, and now As Dead As Me.
After a rest, my next step will be to go back to the beginning, and move forward through the novel again, editing, an enviable task only allowable in fiction. It always delights me to see there are some sentences so good I don't even remember writing them, and of course dismays me to find the tangles here and there where the flower is growing into the ground.
I started writing as a child, by drawing.
One day I took a blank sheet of paper, that horror and hope of all writers, turned it landscape-style, and crudely drew four panels across it. In each panel I created, with my slow pencil, fingers gripped at the whittled bottom, just above the dark lead, so that the top of the pencil waggled, stick figures interacting with each other, in imitation of comic strips, letting dialog balloons sprout from their heads. The stories were simple.
My cousin Janet, older by a year or so, which back then, around age eight, is almost as wide as a parent-child gap, became intrigued by my wavy-sided strips, and started drawing her own. At one point, I suggested we have a contest with each other, to see who could draw the most comic strips over the course of a Summer.
I won. Part of my triumph may have been that I had more ideas than she did, but most of it was that I was simply more obsessed than she with drawing stories.
What did I draw that idyllic childhood Summer of green sea water and rows of rhubarb plants, and old Christmas cards from the nineteen-thirties found inside books in my grandparents' attic? Mostly campers in a brown forest threatened by an upright bear (I was good at drawing tents), and flying saucers death-raying our beloved planet, the sideways-oval helmets of our defending soldiers no match for the saucers' emissions of squiggly No. 2 pencil lines.
None of this nonsense made me a writer, of course. Around August, I was running out of scenarios. Suspecting Janet and I were about even in our production (we never discussed how many separate panel-stories each of us had created in our contest, but her pile seemed as high as mine), I put a fresh sheet of paper down on my desk, turned it landscape, and drew my first square. What will I fill it with?
In the middle of the panel I drew a stick figure of a little boy lying on his stomach, head lifted.
In the right space of the panel I drew the boy's object of attention. A square-boxed TV set.
I drew a speech bubble over the boy's empty oval head, but sitting back, I couldn't think of anything to fill that bubble. To this day, I remember turning my pencil upside-down, like turning my world upside-down, and erasing the bubble, leaving on the white sheet little bits of maroon eraser debris that had to be gently blown away. I became an editor.
Then I didn't do anything for the longest time.
Eight year old boy, sitting in a chair still a little too big for him, elbows on the desk in his bedroom, looking down at the sheet of paper his elbows bracket: boy on his stomach, TV.
Do you know what I did then?
Something I wasn't supposed to do.
For whatever crazy reason, I drew a speech balloon for the TV instead, but coming out of the back of the TV, which didn't make sense.
I drew that balloon so wide, it became tumorous, invading, indeed filling, the white virginity of the next panel.
Instead of stocking the balloon with words, across the interior top I added long, triangular stalactites, as pointed as upside-down witches' hats.
Across the floor of the balloon, I added tall, pointy stalagmites.
What had I done? I had leaned my imagination against the right wall of one panel until it collapsed across the next panel. I had created an exciting new idea for me. Behind a TV set, beyond my parents' living room, is a cavern that leads down and up, chunky with gems, wherever I want to go.
That's when I discovered words are holes.
That's when I discovered I was a writer.

When Madonna sang "Living for Love" live at the 2015 Brit Awards, who knew the online hysteria her performance would create.
Many watched to mock a legend as she falls on her ass.
I watched a legend fall and then get right back up again.
That's the lesson that is quintessentially Madonna.
Watching Madonna being yanked by the throat, lassoed by a stubborn cape that wouldn't come undone, you are immediately aware of her size and relative fragility. Madonna, normally larger than life, is suddenly human after all. Luckily, Madonna is also wildly resilient and a goddamn shobiz pro: now we know just how seriously she believes the show must go on. I just hope she is resilient both physically and emotionally after the show, because it won't surprise her that ugly, mean-spirited things were said about her fall by naysayers, but I doubt she expected many of them to be gay men. Social media sites were flooded with surprisingly shitty, trite and frankly glee-filled posts about the "irrelevant old cunt" falling down the stairs. Come on, do better than that…it's not even clever and it makes you look like an asshole to laugh at a middle aged woman, clearly scared and confused as hell as the unthinkable happens to her live on stage… she was just trying to entertain you. If she reminds you of your own shortcomings, too fucking bad: Madonna is a badass that can do 10 things in 3 minutes you will never achieve in your entire life. Above all else, Madonna has been a champion of gay causes her entire career so show some fucking respect, empathy and kindness to a fellow human-being.
Apparently, Madonna's brand is stronger than ever since even those who claim to hate her, watch her every move, making her appearances the ratings highlight of every show she performs on, while topping the trending topics online at the same time. So much for irrelevance.
I would like to thank all you nameless faces for those words of discouragement, because Madonna couldn't have succeeded so hard, for so fucking long, without your unwavering devotion to her determination.
So Madonna, I apologize for the manners of a few vocal a-holes who apparently haven't made peace with the common fears of aging, success or failure, and then acted beneath themselves by projecting their shit on you. I'm sorry they called you an old bitch because that is just lazy writing and frankly you deserve more creativity, respect and admiration, instead of common ridicule, for being unafraid to dust yourself off and finish what you came to do: rule the world.

I'm cranky.
Perhaps it's because Deaf dinner was at Cibo tonight, and it was hugely overpriced. I mean, really, people… $34 for steak and garlic mashed potatoes?! And they had only one long table and the rest of us sat in booths adjacent. As you can imagine, this wasn't exactly conducive to chatting, much less signing.
Perhaps it's because right before I went to bed last night, I discovered the dog peed on my brand new frickin' bed. So I had to strip the bed, shop vac out as much as I could, then I squirted some water all over it and shop vac'd that out, then remade the bed. I turned on the TV and this stupid infomercial destined for the Stupid Infomercial Hall of Fame was on. It was for a *ahem* male enhancement product named with a sexual innuendo. Scantily clad "reporters" out on the corners acting like they were asking complete strangers off the street if they had ever tried this product, and wonder of wonders! they had! And it was fantastic! And they were bigger! And they could go longer! and their woman was satisfied! For the love, people. Gimme a frickin' break. Seriously… who actually buys this crap?! I suppose I could have made that really funny if I had more energy. Let's pretend I did. It'll be fun. Oh, and by the way, OxyClean Man? Stop yelling. It's late. People are trying to sleep.
Perhaps it's because I have so many open projects right now that I thought I would have finished by now. Why can't I finish anything?! *insert tantrum here complete with stomping and yelling*
Perhaps it's because I have sent out cold resumes and applied for at least 20 different graphic designer positions since June and I have yet to get even one interview. I have a friend who is also a graphic designer and she started applying for graphic designer positions just a few weeks ago and she has already gotten 3 interviews. We have the same degree. She has two years experience and I have 18 months experience. I know my resume looks great. I do follow up after I apply. I can't figure out why I'm not even getting interviews. Hunky says it's because the number on my resume and cover letter is labeled relay operator assisted and they don't want to mess with someone who's d/hoh. Illegal? Yes. Provable? No. Should I take the phone number off of my resume and cover letter entirely, leaving them only with an email address to contact me? What do you think? What would I do with the job sites I have my resume up at that absolutely require a phone number on the profile?
*bitching moaning complaining venting*
I have a meeting tomorrow with my Voc Rehab guy to go over a plan to set up self-employment.
Further updates as events warrant.
Rip… yadda yadda yadda…

Order New Tires for your Mazda in Fresno, CA
Tires aren't just required to move your vehicle along, they also help channel water from under the car, they give you traction on show and ice, and they also can enhance performance. While some people rely solely on the penny in the tire tread trick to detect significant wear, we recommend coming in for an appointment to see if there are more factors involved.
Tread is important, but it is just one of a group of things we look at. Some of the services that we offer to help prolong the life of your tires is rotation. Rotating your tires involves moving the front tires to the rear and vice versa, which helps even out the wear because the tires on the front of your car wear in a different way than those on the rear. We can also balance your tires, which helps eliminate vibrations and patchy tire wear. Your alignment is another thing that we can check and adjust to prevent outer- or inner-edge wear due it being out of spec. If something looks wrong, we investigate it to find the root of the problem. Plus with our service specials, it can be easier to fix these problems.
Here at Lithia Mazda of Fresno you can enjoy quality service from highly skilled technicians. Our Fresno, Madera, Visalia, Selma, and Clovis area customers can feel comforted in knowing that our staff is trained to work on Mazda models and know how they function. Plus, when you use the MyLithiaApp you can keep an eye on the status of your vehicle's repair schedule. We are located at 5200 North Blackstone Avenue and are ready to help you prolong the life of your vehicle to give you many happy years together.

IEMS' Albert Park was featured in an article in China Daily on how automation may soon take over most of the manual jobs that humans currently do, and on the possible ways of coping with the drastic effects such changes will have on our society as a whole.
As quoted in the article:
Park said that automation is likely to affect jobs at all skill levels, leading to a hollowing out of middle-skill jobs. This will only exacerbate the polarization of high-skilled and low-skilled occupations, contributing to a widening wealth gap.
Park believes the key to reducing the widening wealth gap brought on by automation is to reform education and retraining. Workers, he says, must adapt and prepare to meet the demands of the labor market, by equipping themselves with the right skills, as technology evolves.

Gina Schock Talks the Early Days of The Go-Go's
The Go-Go's are the the most successful all female band and were a staple of 80's pop music. Pop wasn't even the genre they are based in. The Go-Go's were a punk band, and still are at heart. They were a group of women who wrote and arranged all of their own music. Which, at that time, was a little taboo. Their first album reached number one and held that spot for six weeks, eventually going double platinum. Drummer Gina Schock was there keeping rhythm the whole time.
Schock is an east coast music lover that drove across the country chasing the rock and roll dream. She brought a seriousness to The Go-Go's that helped push them into stardom. However, being a drummer the in most successful female band isn't the only accomplishment Schock can boast about. She has written many hit songs for some of the biggest names in modern pop music. Using her knowledge and longevity in the business, Schock is a mentor for young, eager artists. Giving them advice like never giving up and do whatever you have to, to reach your dreams.
Was music something that was in you from the start?
It was always something that really touched me on an emotional level, even as a child. I just knew it was something I wanted to create. I remember watching tv and waiting to see who was going to be on the Ed Sullivan show. When I worked or got my allowance, I would spend it on concert tickets and subscribing to music magazines. Anything that had to do with music, I was in. What really cemented it at a young age, was my brother, He's 7 years older than me and was the one who would babysit. He took me to my first concert, Led Zeppelin opening for The Who in 1969. It really blew my mind. I positive then, that I was going to do that. I didn't care what I was doing on that stage, I just wanted to be a rock star. I loved the idea of making music, and I liked the way it made me feel. It never mattered to me that I was a girl, the thought never even crossed my mind. It was just about the music.
When you joined The Go-Go's did you know you all would be so successful?
Well, let's put it this way. When I was 21, going on 22, I left everything in Baltimore and drove cross country with my best friend from high school. I came to LA knowing three people here. When I left Baltimore, I told everyone that the next time they saw me I was going to be a rock star. I was positive that I was going to make it. I had been playing in couple bands when I met the girls. They had only been The Go-Go's for like six months. I went to see them play with a guy I was living with and told me, "You need to get in there and kick that drummer out." When I saw the show , there was something very special about them that I loved. They just looked like they were having a great time on stage. I also loved the idea of being in an all girl band. Up until then, I had been in bands and I was sort of a novelty. Oh look, a girl drummer. But when I was with the girls, I felt powerful and mighty. I met two of the girls at a party, they fired their drummer and I quit the bands I was in. That was that.

After asking yourself, what should I make for dinner? , the next question that usually follows is, what should i make for dessert? Below is a super delicious dessert recipe that you and your family will absolutely love.
White Chocolate Mousse:
- 8 oz. of white chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp of butter, unsalted
- 1 & 1/4 cups of milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 tbsp of sugar
- 2 tbsp of cornstarch
- 2 tsp of gelatin powder, mixed in 3 tbsp of cold water
- 1 cup of whip cream
Chocolate Cups:
- 8-10 mini balloons
- 4 oz chopped chocolate
- 1 recipe White Chocolate Mousse, chilled
- raspberries or nuts for garnish
White Chocolate Mousse:
1. Put the white chocolate and butter in a bowl, with a strainer on top of it.
2. Heat the milk in a pot to simmer.
3. In another bowl, mix the sugar, starch and egg yolks together. Mix in the hot milk into the egg mixture slowly, whisk as you add. Pour them all back into the pot and continue whisking under low heat until mixture becomes thick and glossy.
4. After 5 minutes, add the gelatin through the strainer, and keep stirring until all the chocolate and butter have melted. Cool to room temperature.
5. Whip up the cream until it soft and fluffy , then fold this into your chocolate mixture. Chill it for around 80 minutes, enough to set, but still retaining its softness.
Chocolate Cups:
1. Inflate the mini balloons with air and tie them up. Gently wipe with damp cloth then dry. Prepare a baking tray lined up with parchment.
2. Place a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water. Melt the chocolate in the bowl. Once chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from heat.
3. Dip the balloons halfway into the chocolate on a angle, lifting and rotating as you dip again and again, which creates a tulip shape.
4. Gently shake off excess chocolate and place balloons onto the prepared tray. Chill them until the chocolate sets.
5. With a tiny pin, carefully pop the balloons and let air escape slowly. Remove balloons from cup and dispose.
6. Pipe and twirl the white chocolate mousse into the cups. Garnish the top with raspberries, crushed nuts, or chocolate shavings. Chill well, and you're done!

Born and raised in Italy, I have been in San Diego for seven years. The love of learning new languages, lifestyles and cultures brought me far away from home. I know from my own experience how hard and challenging learning a foreign language can be. But I also learned that with confidence and dedication (and a good tutor!) any goal can be achieved.
After completing my Major in Politics and my Masters in International Relations with full marks and honors, I am now facing a new challenge: PhD. As much as I love studying and learning, I also love teaching. My experience in tutoring started long time ago when I was still in Italy, helping Italian students with test preparation and also assisting professors in lectures and test corrections. Still in Italy, I also tutored foreign students from all over Europe who were facing the difficulties of studying Italian language away from their own countries. Later on, as part of my Masters Degree, I spent one year in Nottingham (UK) where I continued tutoring, teaching Italian to English students. Since I have been in the United States I tutored both Italians learning English and especially Americans learning Italian. I am also available as a translator.
I specialize in teaching Italian language: conversation and grammar, speaking and writing, test preparation. I tutor students of any level and age, from beginners to University students. My approach in teaching may vary and it depends very much on your goal. We can keep it on a strictly scholar level in case your goal is to pass a test in a short time; or I can teach you basic conversation if you just need to face a trip to Italy with more confidence; or I can use a broader spectrum of teaching tools and set up an individual specific program if your goal is to handle the language at your best.
Furthermore, as an Italian living in US for a long time, I know the best way to learn a foreign language is to understand the related culture. So I will also walk you through Italian culture making easier, faster and more interesting your learning.
I am based in San Diego and available to travel to you. Rates may be adjusted in case of long distance. Usual hours are 9am to 9pm, mornings preferred. My schedule is usually very flexible in order to suit all my students' needs. Contact me for any further inquiry!
