Must have app Amazing Weather HD updated for Windows Phone 8
One of our favorite weather apps around here, Amazing Weather, just got bumped with some Windows Phone 8 support to version 4.0. Now appropriately titled Amazing Weather HD, the app weighs in at an impressive 80MB. Reason? It's all of those fancy high-resolution animations.
Amazing Weather HD features what can be best described as subtle animated GIFs (though technically they are HD videos) in the background of the weathercast. For instance today we have a pile of leaves, some of which are twitching slightly in the wind. On other days you will have rain falling or light snow blowing—it's some very pretty stuff. But if photo-realism isn't your thing, the developer has also embraced two Metro UI themes in dark and light choices. That style is flat with just the "just the facts, ma'am" approach Windows Phone users are used to...
The Live Tiles also now come in three sizes: tiny, regular and doublewide, in addition to having their graphics up-scaled for the new higher resolution devices. Text and imagery are now much sharper looking with the updated Tiles.
Unfortunately for this release, developer EizSoft did not go for lock screen temperature, billboard forecast, or lock screen wallpaper. We're sure that's probably coming down the road but you won't get those coveted WP8 features in this update.
Other than that, Amazing Weather HD has the usual gambit of options: location-based weather that always updates based on your GPS coordinates, multiple pre-defined locations, notifications for severe weather, animated weather maps (radar, satellite IR4, visibility), hourly weather and charts. Launch time of the app hedges right at 2 seconds from tap to viewable forecast, which is quite fast in our books.
While there are some other great forecast apps out there, Amazing Weather HD is easily our top. You can pick it up in two versions free and paid ($1.49). Currently only the paid one has the update though we expect 'Lite' to get it as well.
Amazing Weather HD will work on Windows Phone 7 and 8 devices. Highly recommended.

I love the tile size choices! Wonderful implementation right there. Never thought I would pay for a weather app but this developer deserves to be rewarded. Can I assume the paid version doesn't have ads?
tissotti says:
Yeah, that's proper use of the tiles there! Happily pay something for this.
Jonathan Petr says:
You know it would just be killer if they had a way to play those HD videos on the live tile... :O
ioannisgk says:
Totally agree with you.
unstoppablekem says:
We need weather flow to take full advantage of my 920's display...
CHDunbar says:
i recently spoke to the developer who said that Weather Flow's update was submitted on 11/29. i hope to see it soon. He allowed me to see some previews of the app and it looks great. It actually looks similiar to Amazing Weather HD but BETTER! If I were you I'd hold out. TRUST ME!!!
unstoppablekem says:
Yay!! Thanks for the info. I hope it comes soon.
unstoppablekem says:
Okay. It's been way too long. It better come next week.
Hiiiiiiiii says:
"Unfortunately for this release, developer EizSoft did not go for lock screen temperature, billboard forecast, or lock screen wallpaper. We're sure that's probably coming down the road but you won't get those coveted WP8 features in this update."
In my book this is not a must have app due to this exact reason
Kebero says:
Seriously? With all the other features of this app, not to mention compatibility with the HD displays of newer, Windows Phone 8 devices, you still think it's lacking because of what, no lock screen integration?
hopmedic says:
Really. How many times have we heard that the most important feature is to ship? Ship it now and then add features in updates.
Hiiiiiiiii says:
I am not saing it's lacking, it's just not a must have
Redspeed93 says:
Sadly there is no option for a 24 hour clock in this app...
tissotti says:
Oh, that is a bad miss. Thanks for warning about that.
it might sound silly, but when you have watched 24h clock, like most of us are used to, it's weird to use any other.
unstoppablekem says:
Are you the developer?
jcagga says:
Correction the app launches in 1.5 sec according the the developer. And Daniel question, do people in east coast get faster update numbers in marketplace live tile because I didn't see any number change there here in west coast.
jcagga says:
Thanks for the reply and I have otherquestion, i have wp7 running the tango version but for the windy animation, there is a one sec delay with black blank screen when it tries to replay the animation. Did you notice this on wp8???
GoodThings2Life says:
Yes, I'm told they are working on the lockscreen features for a future release. :)
In the meantime, it's a GREAT update. I've been previewing it for a few weeks now and love the speed on the 920.
WPenvy says:
Been beta testing it for a while. Hope ya'll enjoy it as much as I have
ChadWilliams23 says:
Best weather app I've used....loving it on my 920
uopjo6 says:
Do these apps drain batteries? I see weather apps running in the backgroud with 7.5 but I'm not sure if it is a major hit with batteries. Since I haven't heard really good things about 920's battery life.
ousooner314 says:
Regarding "notifications for severe weather", are these push/toast notifications? This is essential when we have severe weather around here.
jcagga says:
Its not the toast notification, but for better or worse, it shows you from the live tile with exclamation on the right top side of the tile.
ousooner314 says:
Bummer.. toast/push notifications are ideal when tornado warnings are issued.
PhilR8 says:
80MB update... wow.
ricardios says:
Seriously. Good thing I don't download a lot of games otherwise I'll run out of internal storage.
jfa1 says:
the HD animation gifs take up a lot of space according to the posting
eizsoft says:
Hi there, we are extremely grateful for this wonderful review and the heartful comments! We've been working hard to bring out the best weather App, and it's just the beginning!
The highly anticipated feature is already in the works but we're having technical difficulty in regards to the background agent updating the live tiles and the lockscreen at the same time :(
We also have a new trick up our sleeves for the live tiles to mix and match the front and back tiles.
Again thank you very much for your support, don't forget to review the App.
PS: The animations are HD videos not just GIFs !
Im_Q says:
Hi, great app. Can I make a small request? For the double wide tile, can you give us the option to a have a 2/3 day forecast on the back when it flips over for the realistic style? I think that'll be more useful for some people like me. Thanks!
Stanvx says:
Hi mate, noticed music can't be listened to while opening the app any chance this can be fixed whip still using the HD animations in the future?
BCH says:
Also noticed that music is stopped when you open the app. I don't know, but I suppose that the HD video backgrounds run as a "video" and only one video or audio source can run.

dalydose says:
I was thinking the same thing. It's as if people don't want ANYONE making any money. They want free with no ads and awesome quality. Ugh.

Dude, I spent more on a medium ice tea at Chick-Fil-A this morning.

How much did you pay for your phone? Less than $1.49?

rth314 says:
Unfortunately the new version doesn't display the current temperature on the small-sized live tile. It doesn't display weather conditions like "Chance of Rain" either. This is a bummer. One thing I really dislike about Windows 8 is a lot of app developers, including Microsoft assume we are all blind, and make the small-sized live tiles almost useless. Screen real estate at the top of the Start Screen is precious, so now that I have to have a medium-sized tile for Amazing Weather, I've moved it "below the fold".
Round And Round says:
Stupid complaint.
Whodaboss says:
"...the small-sized live tiles almost useless."
Dude, I hope your speaking for yourself with this comment, because I find the small-size to be totally great!!! Most of my tiles are the small tiles. They are absolutely useful to me!!!!
rth314 says:
I like the small size too because I can fit a lot more on the screen without scrolling. That's why I want the small size tiles to display the same information as the medium sized tiles. Before this Amazing Weather update that was the case, but now the small tile displays less information. What's the point in the downgrade? I don't want my small tiles to be simply icons like an iPhone, yet that's what Microsoft has done with a lot of their apps.
glassadam says:
Agree with OP. Too many devs decide to make the smallest-sized live tile a static icon instead of showing any info at all. Not cool.
jonathan sink says:
Anyone having trouble getting the live tile to do anything? I have uninstalled twice, toggled the live tile in settings, and pinned unpinned a few times as well. Don't know what else to do I'm sure there's something lol.
ericr42 says:
How did you add the live tile? Go into the app, select the location that you want, then choose Pin. It will give you three options for the live tile content. Select the one you like and you should be good to go. If you just pinned it from the app list, I think the tile is static (at least that was my experience).
jonathan sink says:
Thanks that did the trick!!
PhilR8 says:
I think you have to wait until it updates normally. I have mine set to update every hour, so I'll check back in a bit and let you know what happens.
jonathan sink says:
Ericr42, his suggestion worked check it out right above your comment.
jayruguitar says:
Live tile doesn't work on my 920 either. Running trial version.
jayruguitar says:
Ah, read further comments and pinning from the app corrects the live tile issue. Great App!
ericr42 says:
Are there any other weather apps that can show current conditions and forecast on the current GPS-based location on the live tile? I tried Weather Channel and AccuWeather and don't see any way to accomplish this. They can pull up current location in the app, but the live tile seems to be based on a predefined location.
If this is the only app that can do that, it is reason enough to select it over the competition in my mind.
I would like to see a version without the HD animations that has a smaller footprint. I don't need the fluff, just the functionality ;-).
Wyn6 says:
Weather Live updates according to GPS location as well. But, yes it's good to see Amazing Weather updating for WP8. Great app and great support.
zikifer says:
Weather Flow does this.
slashd0t says:
Great app.. I happily paid for it to support the dev..
philharmonik says:
Been looking for a weather app like this! NICE!
eizsoft says:
Yes, when you select GPS check from settings, the app will show you an auto GPS station, and when you pin it it will update the location then the live tile every hour so it won't affect battery.
conorn says:
Had to toggle this setting after the update to make GPS tile work again. Also all cities/stations disappeared after the update. Otherwise brilliant app, been using for nearly a year and it's improved immensely.
Majin_Static says:
Now I just need a update for metro tube and all my live tiles will be the correct resolution
davezaff says:
I agree...sweet update.
kevin2577 says:
I love the realistic tile, but is there a way that it can show forecast as well? Maybe on back of tile?
ericr42 says:
Just purchased! Really looking forward to future updates based on some of the devs comments!
ut_jd says:
Can't wait to get home to try it...Verizon won't let me download it over their network so I have to wait for Wi-Fi after work.
lordofthereef says:
I am a 99 cent guy. I truly believe more apps would sell if they were priced at 99 cents. This app would have to sell 1.5 times better to make up for the price difference, and I truly think it would. That said, the tile choices blew me away. I am totally buying this, but I never would have even bothered to look had I not seen it listed here on WPcentral
nitrocs says:
99c for a standard app...I agree
This app has some exclusive features & work put into it....I gladly spent the extra 50c to do my part for the WP8 dev community
Round And Round says:
You seriously can't spend that extra $0.50 that's probably on the floor in your house? Cheapskate ássfucker
lordofthereef says:
You clearly didn't read my post. I bought the app, making your retort seem nothing but ignorant. I was merely saying that I feel these apps would sell way better (enjoy more than 1.5 times the downloads) if they were under a buck. The huge devs like Rovio get it. Its the Hershey model.
johaas says:
I appreciate these app reviews that you guys do on a consistent basis. I've been in the Windows Phone ecosystem for less than a week and articles like these are really helpful for finding those "diamonds in the rough." I was looking for a great double-wide weather tile...the search is over!
HighDefEdition says:
Thanks for the review. For now I'll just add it to my ever growing list of must have Windows Phone apps. Still waiting on the Samsung ATIV S to make the switch from my beloved Galaxy SIII.
eizsoft says:
Also an update to Fix the app when the device is set to light theme is coming soon :)
ICwater says:
HTC 8x - App runs fine looks great.. only issue. LiveTile just a colour themed square in large format.. static image for normal and small tiles..
garak0410 says:
Is it me or is the GPS function different with this update? I used to be able to add a current GPS location as a city and then PIN that to start, where the live tile would update every hour and show my current location. Doesn't seem to work now...
eizsoft says:
Try to unpin, then go to settings and check the GPS option again, it might be a corrupt data due to update sorry for this.
garak0410 says:
Yeah, I unpinned first and tried again and it didn't work. So I uninstalled and reinstalled...went into settings, added the GPS option back and it is working...thanks...and great app!
ggonzalez777 says:
This worked like charm!!! Thanks.
jayruguitar says:
Love this app. Initially installed the trial to give it a once over. Decided to purchase, but no way to accomplish this from w/in the app itself. So, I uninstalled and sprinted to the Marketplace to reinstall the paid version. It downloads and before it starts to install it presents me w/ the dreaded Error code: c101a7d1. I've cancelled the install, bounced the phone and tried again to install the paid version and was greeted w/ the same error. Cancelled the download once more and installed the trial version again w/out issue. What gives?
onysi says:
This looks like weather flow
dalydose says:
Can anyone speak to how this app and settings affect power consumption? Would updating the live tile (using GPS location) every 2 hours be something that will cause me problems? How does everyone have their's set to update?
downhillrider says:
hmm i went to buy it and it tells me i already purchased it, im guessing on my 1st gen wp. awesome.
ggonzalez777 says:
Wow!!! That's so great!! I can't wait to mix and match because I love the information on the medium size tile with the current temp and the forecast but don't like how when I shrink it it doesn't show the current temp. Can that be changed?
chataddicted says:
Plz some one tell me what is the best weather apps in wp7?? Im currently using accu weather. I want a weather apps that update live tile every 1 hr very efficiently..... Plz help... :(
SteggyDad says:
Live Tile still not working on my Nokia 920. Re-pinned to the start screen did not help.
nlm says:
the option to have a live radar on the back tile similar to the weather channel would be awesome. That live tile impresses more than any other!
nlm says:
I can confirm that to have the gps live tile or gps station the app needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Then pin your gps station to the start screen within the app. Your gps station is denoted with the dot in the circle icon, the same icon some thought were new for WP8!
SteggyDad says:
I unpimnned, uninstalled, restarted the phone,re-installed, and then re-pinned, live tile still not workig on my Nokia 920.
SteggyDad says:
Ah, missed the part about having to pin the GPS screen to the start menu, that works. Instruction within the app need to be clearer.
TigerMyth36 says:
I know the tile setting has already been mentioned but I was coming here to gripe about the live tile not working. It works fine, you just need to learn how to set the tile. You need to set your weather location and in settings push pin. If you pin the tile from the app list, it will not set the live tiles.
I know this is mentioned in other spots in this thread but I thought I would bump how to set it. I love this app. First paid app for me and worth every penny.

Rated: R
Jack Reacher should not be released right now. Not because it's a bad movie (it is) but because it begins by putting a child in the crosshairs of a sniper rifle and ends with a glorification of high-powered assault weapons. If ever there was a movie that screamed, "too soon," it is Jack Reacher.
Tom Cruise stars as the titular Reacher, an ex-military policeman who is as brilliant as he is lethal. And he lets you know both at every chance he gets. Also, that he wants to be left alone (and you only find him if he wants you to). If these action beats feel familiar, you've already met Jack Reacher. While the mystery he's brought in to investigate—a sniper kills 5 people but something just doesn't smell right—is mildly interesting, the characters who populate the narrative are broad and stock.
The problem is that the protagonist is just too good at everything. He's an expert marksman, brilliant investigator, wonderful lover, genius driver, master of espionage and intrigue, and topped off with a rapier wit. We need our heroes to have some foibles or failings. Reacher has none.
A prototypical action flick that entertains but reinforces every cliché of the genre, Jack Reacher is about as interesting as its protagonist. Serviceably acted by Tom Cruise, it doesn't give nearly enough time to the fascinating antagonist, played with malicious brilliance by Werner Herzog. But rather than treat him as a perpetual villain, Reacher goes the Bond route and sets up the next adventure but tying up all loose ends.
Jack Reacher is something of an American version of James Bond. Mix in some Dirty Harry and you have an idea of who is Jack Reacher. And while the character might be interesting in the hands of a more deft filmmaker, Christopher McQuarrie (writer of The Ususal Suspects) is not that man, turning in a decent but unspectacular action thriller.

Locals who frequent the nine holes of Skyline Golf Course have taken to calling it Cathlamet's "Emerald Gem." With its undulating fairways and scenic views of the Columbia River Basin, the course offers little to challenge this honored epithet. Designed by architect Ralph Rodahl, its treacherous doglegs and ponds have been distracting hole-bound balls for nearly half a century. Among Rodahl's most challenging designs are two holes at par 5 and two at par 3, each of which requires golfers to navigate a fairway rife with hazards and packs of feral golf carts.
Situated near the first tee, an ample driving range allows for long-distance practice before setting off to conquer the high-risk, high-reward course. After the round, players can replenish with a cold refreshment or savory snack on the clubhouse deck, or upgrade their golf gear with a new sleeve of golf balls from the pro shop or a cyborg caddy from the future.

The huge Sheikh Rashid Auditorium in Dubai looked too small for the 2,500 or so personally invited guests from South Asian countries who had gathered to attend the event. Even more unusually all of them, and even the chief guest, stayed till the very end.
The event: a Hindo Pak Aalmi Mushaira and Kavi Sammelan organised by the non-profit organisation Hamari Association in collaboration with Aman ki Asha, a peace initiative of the Jang Group of Pakistan and The Times of India Group.
This was the second such mushaira to be held in Dubai organised byHamari Association and the first collaborative effort between Aman ki Asha and Hamari Assocation. Hamari Association aims to facilitate peace and mutual understanding through the universal platform of arts and spreading Indian culture. Aman ki Asha aims to promote cultural exchanges, people-to-people contacts and dialogue between the two countries.
Dubai, where this event took place, is itself a marvellous example of harmony, a place where Pakistanis and Indians live and work together peacefully, as Shazia Qidvai of Hamari Association noted, thanking the United Arab Emirates governments for providing a space where "we, the people of Pakistan and India live together and share our happiness,"
"That is why the poets of Pakistan and India have come here to make this event a memorable one. Our effort, and Aman ki Asha, can unite any people and can remove distances," she added.
The mushaira highlighted the shared cultural and literary background of the two countries. The applause and traditional 'daad' were just another indication of the level of interest in this programme, participated in by several acclaimed poets from Pakistan and India.
The stage was beautifully decorated. The event was presided over by the great poet Dr. Rahat Andori, and Consul General of India Sanjay Varma was the chief guest.
Businessman Jaan Rizvi, who conducted the evening, welcomed the poets and presented them with bouquets. He also presented a shield to the chief guest. Participating poets included Usman Meenai, Parmoot Tawari, Khalid Masood, Dr. Majid Deobandi, Dr. Anjum Barabankoi, Dr. Kamar Vishvash, Abbas Tabish, Ejaz Rehmani, Manzar Ayubi, Dr. Tahir Faraz, Prof. Inayat Ali Khan, Hasan Kamal and Dr. Rahat Andori.
"We are with Jang Group and Times of India in their journey to attain peace. We want to spread the message of Aman ki Asha to the people of India and Pakistan," said Shazia Qidvai. "Our members have also worked hard and sent relief items to Pakistan for the flood victims."
"All the languages of the world have some connection," said the Indian Consul General Sanjay Varma in his moving speech. "They remind us of our streets and land. I dream in English but I cry in my own language. Urdu and Hindi have the power to make me cry. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is my favourite singer. It doesn't take long to unite India and Pakistan through his songs. We have heard wonderful poetry at this event... This event shows that if to divide is our history then union is our future. Please take Aman ki Asha from this evening and share it with your kids, friends and family members."
"Hindi and Urdu poetry are my family," commented the poet Dr. Kumar Vishvash. "We are still paying the price for Partition.Instead of food we buy guns and ammunition. I pray that Allah would change all the gun barrels into flutes. This Aman ki Asha is not just a hope but a dream that The Times of India and the Jang Group have shown us, which will be a reality."

KTAB's Lane Stone, Victor Sotelo Appear on 'Conan'
By: Joey Hollingsworth
Updated: November 3, 2011
The long-time talk show host has been shooting episodes in New York this week, and has decided while the show is in the city, two of its employees will take advantage of the state's laws permitting same-sex marriage.
Conan will perform the same-sex marriage ceremony live during the show, a first for late night television.
Conan realized that this news raised the eyebrows of just a few news stations across the country, and decided to shine a spotlight on them.
To see Lane and Victor's "Conan" debut, watch the video below.

The popularity of minimalist running has grown immensely over the last few years. Runners are now spending millions of dollars on thin soled shoes that mimic the natural anatomy of the feet. Proponents of "natural running" claim that training in bare feet or thinly soled shoes is the most effective and safest way to run. Unfortunately, a recent study in Utah published in the Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise throws this claim into question.
The Vibram Five Fingers Study
Findings from the recent scientific study (which you can find here) reveal that running barefoot or with thin rubber shoes increases the chances of foot bone injuries.
In a 10-week study on the effects of Vibram Five Fingers shoes on runners, Utah based researchers divided a team of amateur runners into 2 groups. The first one was asked to continue running with their traditional running shoes while the second group was asked to slowly transition from typical athletic shoes to Vibram Five Fingers following a careful period of retraining.
During the course of the research, the Five Fingers contingent were required to follow the Vibram recommended transition plan. This involved running a single day of 1-2 miles in thin soles the 1st week, and was followed by adding an extra day of Vibram running over the next 2 weeks (for a total of 3 days of 1-2 mile runs in the thin shoes by the end of the 3rd week). After that period, the group was asked to boost their daily mileage as it felt comfortable to them.
After the allotted 10-week period, both groups were subjected to MRI scanning with the results compared to the scans taken before starting the trial. Those who stuck with their traditional running shoes showed no change in foot stress, while those who made the thin sole transition had a dramatic increase in bone marrow edema (a sign of bone injury and the body's response to increased stress).
MRI Results
The results clearly showed that half the Five Fingers runners had sustained some form of foot injury, and that 2 additional runners had developed full stress fractures in the toes and heel.
What the Study Tells Us
The conclusion to this 2 month long research tells us that minimalist running should only be attempted with a very slow transition period, if at all.
Running with Vibram Five Fingers or other similar shoes significantly alters the biomechanics of our foot with each strike. Instead of hitting the ground with the heel, minimalist running places the stress on the forefoot and mid foot area, a sensitive region where the tiny metatarsal bones reside. As such, thin running shoes are likely to trigger fractures on the metatarsals, calcaneal bones and place extra stress on the Achilles tendon.
While the merits of running with thin soled shoes will continue to be debated, it is safe to say that the switch to minimalist running requires a gradual transition to avoid injuring the foot.

New York authorities said Thursday that they had reached a deal with 23 gun show operators in the state after an investigation revealed weapons were sold without proper background checks.
Under the new agreement, authorities say it will be easier to track whether sellers are following the proper safety steps.
"Gun violence is everyone's concern," New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement, "and I'm proud that we've worked with gun show operators to create simple procedures to ensure that deadly weapons don't make it into the hands of felons, terrorists, the dangerously mentally ill or anyone else who could not pass a background check."
The new measures, which authorities hope will be a model for other states, include a requirement that weapons sold by private sellers at gun shows be tagged so operators can be sure proper background checks were performed.
The 23 gun show operators who signed on to the deal represent 80% of the gun shows in the state, the attorney general's office said. Authorities hope all gun shows statewide will sign on to the deal by the end of the year.
Dozens of gun shows are held across America on any given weekend.
Gun shows open to consumers are big business, accounting for about 10% of the industry's $3.5 billion in annual sales, Wedbush Securities analyst Rommel Dionisio said earlier this year.
New York is among the states that require background checks at gun shows, and the state's gun laws are among the nation's most stringent. In January, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed laws fortifying New York's existing assault weapons ban, limiting the number of bullets allowed in magazines and strengthening rules that govern the mentally ill, which includes a requirement to report potentially harmful behavior.
Gun rights advocates have pushed to repeal the laws, while some state lawmakers have pushed for stricter measures.
On Thursday, Democratic New York State Assemblywoman Linda B. Rosenthal of Manhattan introduced a bill that would ban children under age 12 from attending gun shows.

Doctor Made Lasting Mark On Local Black Community
By EMILY GUEVARA
Staff Writer
Before the hospitals in Tyler were integrated, there was a doctor who provided significant service to the black community.
Staff Writer
Before the hospitals in Tyler were integrated, there was a doctor who provided significant service to the black community.
Dr. Theodore J. Taliaferro came to Tyler in 1939 after learning of a need for more physicians in the northern part of the city.
The young doctor recently had completed his residency in St. Louis and was living there with his wife, Geneva, a nurse, when they made the decision to move here.
That move would mean a great deal to the black community here, and left the Taliaferros with a significant place in local history.
Taliaferro was believed to be the first black physician to perform major surgery at Medical Center Hospital (now East Texas Medical Center) and the first black to engage in an interracial practice in Tyler, according to the book, "Remembering When We Were Colored in Tyler, Texas," compiled by Rodney Lamar Atkins.
Mrs. Taliaferro left her own mark as the first black nurse to work at Medical Center Hospital.
She worked in the hospital's African-American unit and eventually became head nurse, according to Atkins' account.
Born and raised in Allentown, Pa., Taliaferro attended Wilberforce University in Ohio and Meharry Medical College in Nashville.
Shortly after completing his residency at Homer G. Phillips Hospital in St. Louis, he and his family moved to Tyler.
For several years he worked out of an office on North Border Avenue, but by 1947, he had opened the Taliaferro Clinic on West Erwin Street.
Dr. Samuel D. Houston, who was born and raised in Tyler, recalled what it was like at the clinic.
"He would have patients just be waiting all day long out the door to be seen at the time," said Houston, 76, who as a child was a patient of Taliaferro's and as an adult a short-term colleague. "He was very well known, very well thought of in the black community."
With the growth of his practice, Taliaferro moved his clinic/hospital to 1106 W. Trezevant St. where he could serve more clients, according to
Tyler Morning Telegraph
Frinchell Walton Mathis was one of those clients. Ms. Mathis said he delivered all five of her sons, the first one at the Erwin Street clinic and the last four at the Trezevant location.
"He was a real nice person and he was liked by everyone," she said adding that he spoke with an accent at least as far as East Texans were concerned.
She said because he was younger than the other doctors in the area at the time, he brought new ideas and new ways of doing things.
"The residents in Tyler were just wild about him, because he cared and did a lot of things for other people," Ms. Mathis said.
Dr. Ben Bridges, a retired Tyler physician, has researched local medical history for the Smith County Medical Society.
Bridges said the opening of Taliaferro's hospital provided a "legitimate spot for the black community to go to if they couldn't get in to the hospital."
He said it was significant not only for what it meant to the community, but also for what it said about Taliaferro.
"When you think about it, it is hard enough to practice medicine, but also to own and operate a hospital," Bridges said by phone.
The 10- to 12-bed hospital with operating room likely staffed at least three full-time nurses and two full-time orderlies, Bridges said, who at times did consultations for Taliaferro. It also had X-ray machines.
Taliaferro's career also coincided with changes in the local medical community.
For a good part of the 1940s, 12 beds at Mother Frances Hospital serviced the needs of the black residents in the Tyler area. That was what was devoted to African-American men and women in a segregated wing on the ground floor.
In 1947, the Camp Fannin "Station Hospital" became the East Texas Tuberculosis Sanitarium.
And, in 1951, Medical Center Hospital, now East Texas Medical Center, opened. Its first floor housed the area for black patients.
Although black patients could go to the hospital and be treated, black doctors could not practice there until 1951.
That year, the Texas Medical Association wanted to integrate the profession, so they urged the county medical societies to allow African-American doctors to become members, Bridges said.
At the time only doctors who were members of the Smith County Medical Society could practice at the Tyler hospitals, Bridges said.
So opening up medical society membership to African-Americans, also opened up the hospitals.
Several black doctors were admitted to the society in that first year Taliaferro being one of them, Bridges said.
He is believed to be the first black doctor to perform surgery at Medical Center Hospital, according to Atkins' book. Although Taliaferro was allowed to work there, as a general practitioner or family doctor, he was not allowed to perform a major surgery at either hospital without a certified surgeon in the room, Bridges said.
Taliaferro often worked with Dr. Porter Bailes during surgeries, according to Atkins' book. It was Houston, Taliaferro's former patient, who was the first board certified black surgeon in Tyler.
Apart from his family practice, Taliaferro recognized the long-term needs of his community and, along with a partner, started Mel-Rose Nursing Home in Tyler. He was part owner and resident physician there.
He also served as the Texas College physician, provided free service to the Pre-Natal Clinic for the city of Tyler and was a member of the Smith County Medical Association, National Medical Association and the American Medical Association.
Today Taliaferro's memory lives on in those who knew him as well as Melrose Care and Rehab, which began as Mel-Rose Nursing Home.
"He was broad as far as his outlook on the future ..." Bridges said. "He was a visionary, as well as ... a good doctor."

How will ADHD affect my child's future?
Every parent of a child with ADHD worries about what's going to happen when their baby grows up. True, there can be challenges ahead, but with the right support and management ADHD kids will thrive.
Early diagnosis helps
Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to helping a child with ADHD enjoy success and happiness in adult life, says Blythe Corbett, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at the University of California.
But she doesn't gloss over the facts. "They have a much higher rate of divorce. They have a much higher rate of car accidents, of having difficulty getting jobs and keeping jobs; and the percentage of individuals going to [university] and graduating…, despite being very smart people, is considerably lower than the general population," she says.
"And so it does have a lifelong impact on many individuals, but we also know on the positive side that if we intervene early, we give them the appropriate supports, that they clearly can excel and do quite well actually in their lives."
ADHD success story
Leading Australian ADHD advocate, Michele Toner agrees, saying there are many successful people who have admitted to having ADHD. US Olympic swimming champion and mega-gold medallist Michael Phelps was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 9, was treated with a combination of medication and behavioural therapy for a few years before learning to manage his ADHD without drugs.
His mum credits swimming as an activity which greatly helped Michael's ADHD.She told US magazine Good Housekeeping: "Swimmers have to develop good time management when they're juggling school work and hours of practice.
"The pool itself helped Michael, too. ADHD children need parameters. Even if Michael's mind was all over the place, he could focus on going up and down the pool. Plus, water itself has a calming, soothing effect."

A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You, and A Little Bit… WHO? by Loucinda McGary
The other day, I was sent some interview questions for a guest blog I'll be doing in the near future. One of the questions was: Do you base your characters on real people or are they purely figments of your imagination?
My first reaction was of course they are TOTALLY made up from my imagination. But then I realized that's not exactly true. So in honor of honesty being the best policy Aunty will reveal some of the real people whose names or traits wound up in characters in The Treasures of Venice:
· The hero's older sister, Kathleen. Okay, might as well start with the obvious! I have three younger siblings. It was my duty as first born to see that they did not run amuck too terribly much. THEY called me bossy (I suspect they still do), but I was merely doing my duty and trying to look out for their best interests. It was only natural that I give my hero's older sister some of these same wonderful traits. As far as looks go, Kathleen is a petite red-head so I'm afraid that is nowhere near what Aunty looks like, never mind the age difference. I do like to have visual models for most of my characters and for Kathleen, I pictured a young Bernadette Peters with all those saucy, bouncing curls.
· Donatella Bottini, an assistant with the fictional Society for the Preservation of Venetian Antiquities is named and physically patterned after a good friend of mine whose last name really is Bottini. I'm happy to report my friend was delighted with her fictional counterpart.
· Serafina Lombardo, the daughter of a wealthy architect in 1485 Venice. When I was first brainstorming the plot of The Treasures of Venice, I remembered a picture I'd seen in a magazine of a portrait of a lovely young Renaissance era woman. After an extensive search all over the internet, I finally found the portrait again, and the whole dual storyline began to form. The young woman was named Gianna Tournabouri, but I knew who she really was!
· The heroine, Samantha Lewis. I've said elsewhere that all my characters have a little bit of me in them, and Samantha probably has more of me than any of my other heroines. She has the same color eyes, is approximately the same height, and uses some of the same expressions I do (like 'no way, Jose') but the similarities pretty well end there. When I went looking for a visual model for my heroine, I'd recently seen the film Waitress and thought actress Kerri Russell was really close in coloring to the portrait of Gianna Tournabouri. With her hair straightened, she had the perfect look for Samantha.
· The hero, Keirnan Fitzgerald. When this charming Irish rogue first popped into my imagination it was instant LURVE! Okay, Aunty will admit to a being a pushover for any dark-haired, blue-eyed Celt with an adorable accent. I know there are plenty of lovely Celtic men who would be great visual models for a hero (trust me, Aunty has checked out many, MANY of them!). One night I was watching "The Tonight Show" and one of Jay Leno's guests was Gerard Butler. I must confess, I'd seen only a couple of his movies and I did not find him all that appealing. He was definitely good looking, but I was at a loss as to why he was so wildly popular. Then, he opened his mouth and I KNEW! The man could charm paint off the wall! By the commercial break, I knew he was the perfect model (both visually and personality-wise too) for my hero, Keirnan! Now honestly, ladies, could YOU resist him?
So now you know who I had in mind when I created my characters. But if they don't match up to your idea when you read about them—Hey, that's fine too! In fact, that is part of the beauty of a novel. The reader gets to bring her own interpretation to what she reads. I certainly do that when I read, and I hope you do too.
Have you ever read a book and thought you recognized one of the characters? Or certain aspects of a character? If you are a writer, do you base your characters on "real" people? Bits and pieces maybe? C'mon now, honesty is the best policy!

The Treasures of Venice
Samantha Lewis gazed over the nearly deserted square at the bulbous crown atop St. Mark's Cathedral. She blew across the surface of her hot caffe latte. The dull, dreary February morning matched her mood. Here she was in Venice on what should have been her honeymoon, but she was alone.
She took a sip of creamy beverage and tried to wash down the bitter taste of her failure. She still had a hard time accepting what had happened. Everything in her life had gone so well for the past ten years, just the way she'd planned and dreamed. She'd been so careful to make sure Michael Atcheson was the right guy, that he met her criteria for a stable, long-term commitment. How could she have been so wrong?
Ending their engagement three weeks before their scheduled wedding was so unpredictable, so irresponsible, so unlike the Michael she thought she knew. He'd given her some lame excuse about not wanting to spend the rest of his life in a relationship that lacked spontaneous fun and excitement. Turned out what he had really meant was he wanted a fling with his twenty-one-year-old teaching assistant. How had she not seen that one coming?
Determined to prove this was Michael's loss, not hers, Sam had highlighted her hair and started a new workout routine that included yoga. At least that had helped her relax even if sleeping remained hit and miss, and her crying jags soon gave way to good old-fashioned indignation. The ten-day tour of Italy had been purchased at discount and was non-refundable. At the urging of her psychologist and friend, Dr. Sandra Goldfarb, Sam went by herself.
Now here she was halfway through the tour. Even if she did feel like the odd-woman out and didn't really relate to the rest of the group, she was finally sleeping soundly. Though her dreams had become unusually vivid and seemed to take place during the Middle Ages – undoubtedly a side effect of jet lag and too many museums. Wonderful museums and incredible sights! Dr. Goldfarb's advice had been right.
Michael was wrong. She was capable of spontaneous fun and excitement. She hadn't really thought he would change his mind and join her when he found out, had she? He'd made it abundantly clear that he didn't need her and the new and improved Sam Lewis certainly didn't need him.
She'd repeated this litany to herself everyday for the past three weeks. Maybe today she might start to believe it.
As she took another sip of the steaming brew, a flurry of movement in the corner of her vision made Sam turn her head. A dark-haired man in a black leather jacket strode purposefully across the damp gray cobbles in her direction.
A dozen startled pigeons flapped into the air as he traversed the wide courtyard between St. Mark's and the outdoor restaurant where she sat. He wasn't exceptionally tall, maybe slightly under six feet, but his broad shoulders and narrow hips gave his stride an athlete's grace and self-assurance. When he came closer, she could see that his hair, though cut away from his ears, spilled over the back of his collar with just enough curl to make him appear charming rather than unkempt. Then he made eye contact and she almost dropped her cup. Such incredible blue belonged on the della Robbia Madonnas back in Florence, not on a mortal man.
She couldn't stop staring, and to her surprise, neither did he. He walked right up to her table as if they knew each other. In fact, Sam experienced this sudden eerie feeling in a far corner of her mind that she did know him.
"Hello, luv, sorry I'm late." The handsome stranger spoke with an unmistakably Irish lilt. No way had she ever met him before, she'd definitely remember those eyes, that accent. Then he bent and kissed the air next to her right cheek in greeting, but as he moved to her left, instead of kissing he whispered, "Play along with me, please."
His urgency surprised her even more than his bold actions. Sam pulled back and stared again into the clear sapphire depths of his eyes. All the oxygen flew out of her lungs.
She gasped in a noisy breath. "I– I'd almost given up hope."
She had no idea where that inane statement sprang from, but she was rewarded with a wide smile as dazzling as the stranger's eyes.
"Ah, never do that, luv," he admonished, then signaled the waiter.
Feeling like she was observing the scene from outside her body, Sam watched him pull his wallet from inside his jacket and slap down a bill to pay for her half-finished drink. She'd seen plenty of men like him. He practically sported a neon sign flashing over his head: "Mr. Wrong".
His mesmerizing gaze locked on her again and he extended his hand. "Ready to go to the Doge's Palace then?"
Dr. Goldfarb would probably tell her to go ahead. Her own mother certainly would. In almost fifty years of perpetually rash behavior with regard to men, the worst consequence Mom had ever suffered was a broken heart. Well, Sam already had one of those, so what did she have to lose? The Doge's Palace was one of Venice's most crowded tourist attractions and all of a hundred yards away.
Throwing twenty-eight years of caution and predictability into the damp Venetian air, she grabbed his offered hand. "Sure, let's go."
Venice 1485
The side door of the church opened and an angel stepped inside. Nino Andriotto dropped his trowel in awe.
The clank of the hardwood on the marble floor of the chapel made the beautiful vision jerk her head in his direction. No angel after all, but no mere mortal either. She was the girl in Fredo's sketches. Her wealthy family had commissioned his roommate and best friend to paint her portrait. Her beauty, even in simple line drawings, had stirred Nino's mind to flights of fancy such as he'd never experienced in all his twenty years.
The object of his most secret desires now hesitated in the side vestibule, pale brows drawn in anxiety. "Forgive me. I didn't mean to intrude." Her voice sounded soft and delicate, the same way she looked.
Pulse hammering, Nino jumped from his waist high perch and stooped to retrieve his trowel. "Oh no, milady."
He doffed his dusty cap and did a quick half-bow, his gaze catching on the smears of plaster and glaze on his apron and shirtsleeves. Between the workday grime and the badly sewn patches on his hose, he presented a shabby contrast to the lady's elegant green damask gown and the matching lace-edged shawl draped lightly over her golden brown hair.
"'Tis I who should apologize for disturbing you. I came to work here this morning because few visit the cemetery isle so early." After taking a deep breath, Nino dared to raise his head and motioned to the large ceramic medallions behind him. "The holy fathers commissioned me to decorate this chapel of the church before Easter."
As she gazed at his work, he saw admiration then recognition chase across her porcelain features. "Oh, you must be the Florentine who studied under della Robbia."
Nino blushed a bit with pride. "Yes, Luca della Robbia was my old master." The admission emboldened him enough to add, "I'm Nino – I mean Antonino Andriotto. And you are the Signorina Lombardo."
She looked startled by his unexpected declaration, and blushed prettily in her turn. "I didn't know we had met."
"We haven't." He dropped his eyes in embarrassment. "Forgive me for being bold. My fellow artist Alfredo Rosso is painting your portrait and I recognize you from his sketches."
He could see her fingers toying with the folds of her gown.
"Oh, the portrait..."
Her tone made Nino lift his head. A cloud seemed to have settled over her velvety brown eyes.
"Fredo has much skill," he rushed to reassure her. "I'm sure you will be most pleased with the result, milady."
Obviously lost in her own thoughts, she looked away toward the main altar of the church. "It's a gift for the man who intends to marry me, the Viscount Treviso."

Hi Aunty Cindy,
Congrats on the new release. Gerard Butler is a great inspiration for a hero. I just saw him on a rerun of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Gerard is very funny. There are times when I come across a snarky character who remind me of some people at work.

Hi Jane,
I don't usually watch Jimmy K. but if I knew Gerry was a guest, I'd definitely be glued to my TV!
Back in the days of Aunty's Dreaded Day Job, I often pictured people I worked with as the VILLAINS in whatever book I was reading! LOL! Hmmm, matter of fact, the villain in Wild Sight had the same name as one of my former bosses. SHHHH!

I'm soooo happy to hear how much you enjoyed Treasures of Venice!
I do the same thing as you, when I read or write, there's a movie running inside my head. Guess I'm just a really visual person who needs to see it in order to enjoy it.

Hi, Cindy! LOL at having to rethink whether your characters had inspiration in real people :) I'd think that it'd be pretty hard actually, to create characters with absolutely NO basis in reality--I imagine that it's easier to write what you know, right? (Uh, not a writer, so that might be completely false! ;))
Don't enter me, but your winners here are in for some amazing reading!

Hey Aunt Cindy Welcome Back!! Glad to see you like the blog post as I knew you would anyway. What visuals. Gerry Butler....umm, umm, good! I'll take two please and sorry but I don't like to share. I am a stingy little stinker when it comes to yummy men. (waves self and pulls on collar, Hot Flash, Hot Flash, ahh no not quite, I know Hot Man Flash!) :P
I'm saving your book for my b-day which is only a couple weeks away as I like to have a really good one to read then. I know Danielle is going to skin me alive as the review won't be in on time but hey the noggin isn't quite up to speed anywho since cracking it on the woodstove in February. Damn that hurt but not as bad as the two broken wrists. Anywho, I know I can count on you to give me a good read and I'm know everyone here will agree wholeheartedly. Luv Yah,

I don't need to be in the contest because I've already read the book. It was a terrific page-turner, and I had no trouble whatsoever hearing Gerard Butler's voice in the story. And yes, he could charm paint off the wall.
Great job, Cindy! - September 15, 2009 at 5:59 PM

Hi AC!
Thanks for reminding me your next stop of blog tour! It's 507am here:)
paranormal and romance are a great combination. I wonder what will it taste when you add 'irish' in there? Sounds very yummy!
Love to win TToV for my reading. It'll be awesome :D

Cindy, I love hearing about how writers form their characters, whether from their imaginations totally, or from other experiences. I can see that Bernadette Peters is perfect for Kathleen, and of course, Gerard Butler is such a great Irish hero.
I usually base my characters on the partial traits of a lot of different people. - September 15, 2009 at 6:43 PM

Hi Chey and Fedora!
Great to see two more of my loyal blog tour followers! I hope you both enjoy TToV!
Fedora, most of the writers I know do seem to borrow traits here and there from real life, movies, and other books for their characters. Mix 'em all together for a wonderful new blend! ;-)

Hi, Aunty Cindy! Love the question, though not as much as I love me some Gerald Butler. Yum. You're so right about the accent.
ANY heroine who can't make up a decent comeback to save her life or who can come up with a great one five hours later but not on the spot is me. I don't care who the authors say they based their characters on, they're wrong. Those heroines are all me. All of them.

I'm not sure I've read a book where I thought I recognized one of the characters but I have read books where I've come across names of people I've met who've been Tuckerized in the book...that might've led to me recognizing characteristics as having been borrowed from them. That's always fun.

Hi Loucinda,
I remember you from the NOR blog last week. Your book looks and sounds just like the books I read.
Gerard Butler has the sexiest voice and I also could listen to Sean Connery forever. Old I know but still sexy. :)

Hi Aunty Cindy! I know that traveling is important to you. What would you do about your research if you were unable to travel in order to do it?

Thdl Peer Review

About THL > Participation & Support > Participation in THL > THL Peer Review

THL Peer Review

The Tibetan and Himalayan Library is committed to academic excellence. Therefore, it relies upon a rigorous process of peer review of scholarly submissions. As can be seen from our editorial boards, the scholars involved in administering THL are drawn from the top academic organizations in the world and include many of the most prominent people in the field. Administrators reviewing THL publications can thus be assured that publication within THL is equivalent in academic worth and prestige to publication in a major journal, academic publishing house, or prestigious reference work. We suggest scholars print this page, or refer their academic supervisors to this page, for consideration in appraising THL contributions in annual review, tenure, or promotion decisions.

Peer review takes four distinct forms within THL:

The Journal of the International Association of Tibetan Studies (JIATS). This journal has its own editorial board of top scholars which employs standard academic practices of peer review. JIATS is a traditional journal, albeit with many innovative features deriving from its digital character, and offers THL's main venue for publication of innovative scholarly articles.

The Encyclopedias of Tibet and the Himalayas. This reference resource has its own editorial board of top scholars which employs standard academic practices of peer review. The Encyclopedias are thematic in character and form THL's main venue for publication of scholarly work that is better suited for reference resources than for journal articles.

Granular submissions to Dictionary, Gazetteer, Media Repositories, and elsewhere. This involves a somewhat different process of review due to the granularity of submissions, and their extent. The THL board overall, or specific editorial boards in charge of a given repository, function as gatekeepers deciding on who can submit to their repositories through assessing their scholarly credentials. In addition, there is periodic review of work by the governing scholars.

Projects. These resources involve a broader assembly of contributions that are integrated according to the project's thematic focus. Firstly, projects must be submitted and approved by the THL board overall or its delegated representatives in order to begin work within THL. Secondly, once a project is completed, it is submitted for formal peer review by outside scholars. Thus, any project with a THL Publication header has undergone a strict process of scholarly peer review.
