These soothing herbs help support the body's natural ability to unwind, relax, and rejuvenate. A cup of this tea before bedtime helps promote a quick, peaceful and restful sleep, and waking up feeling relaxed, refreshed and alert.

This special blend of herbs makes an effective and delicious tea that you can enjoy everyday. While these herbs are grown in the West, they are popular with people everywhere.
Triple Leaf Tea's Ancient Chinese Medicinals
Traditional Chinese medicine began in approximately 2500 B.C. Recently, here in the West, people have discovered the value of this ancient system which focuses on aiding the body's own healing mechanisms through restoring harmony and balance. The Chinese system of herbology has been recorded in ancient texts which are studied and employed even today. This time tested knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation over the centuries.
Triple Leaf Tea comes from such a tradition. It is made in the U.S.A by a Chinese American family-owned business. The company owner can remember stories of his own grandfather selling herbs and teas in his village in China. Today, these traditional Chinese herbal formulas are available to you. We wish you harmony and balance!
Note: This tea is not recommended for use by pregnant women or nursing mothers - if you are pregnant or nursing, consult your health care practitioner first before using.

Dear Bloggers, the WAR is ON!
I have just got a confirmation from an "insider" that a local company socialmedia/online team have decided NOT to:
- Follow Blog37 on twitter
- Send me their latest news and offers
- Invite me to their events
Because.. well well well.. because of the posts below
I don't have much followers on twitter and it shows in the right column on the blog, I may not have much daily visits or many comments on every post I publish… But I'm so certain that these posts have hit their target… as an old saying that states "اللي على راسه بطحه يتحسس عليها".
Fellow bloggers, the war is now ON.. are we up to it? Are we to FORCE these companies to change their terms and conditions from "puppeteering" our blogs to "reserving an Ad spot" ? It's your choice.

Small tsunami damages homes in Solomons, 4 believed killed; other warnings canceled
SYDNEY (AP) — A powerful earthquake off the Solomon Islands generated a tsunami of up to 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) that damaged dozens of homes and likely killed several people in the South Pacific island chain Wednesday.
Authorities canceled warnings for tsunamis on more distant coasts.
Solomons officials reported two 1.5-meter (4 foot, 11-inch) waves hit the western side of Santa Cruz Island, damaging between 70 and 80 homes and properties, said George Herming, a spokesman for the prime minister. Many villagers had headed to higher ground as a precaution, Herming said.
Solomon Islands Police Commissioner John Lansley said local police patrols had reported that several people were presumed dead, though the reports were still being verified.
"Sadly, we believe some people have lost their lives," he said. "At the moment we potentially know of four, but there may of course be more."
Obama's CIA pick Brennan, once stung by waterboarding, now opposes it
WASHINGTON (AP) — John Brennan, now President Barack Obama's nominee to be CIA director, sat quietly around a conference table at the agency's headquarters in Langley, Va., during briefings about the capture and waterboarding of key al-Qaida operative Abu Zubaydah.
Former and current U.S. intelligence officials who were part of those briefings say Brennan, then deputy executive director of the CIA's administrative arm, did not raise objections to the interrogation practices in those forums. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the top-secret meetings publicly.
Brennan's silence may have cost him his first chance to lead the spy agency. He withdrew his name from consideration in 2008 following a stream of complaints that he was tainted by his CIA service during the administration of President George W. Bush, when harsh interrogation techniques like waterboarding came under fire.
But in his letter withdrawing his nomination, Brennan wrote that he'd been a "strong opponent" of the program. Throughout Obama's first term, Brennan added to the body of criticism of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques in his role as Obama's counterterrorism adviser.
The same issue that caused him to withdraw from consideration to be the nation's spy chief is likely to come up again this week as Brennan faces his confirmation hearings in Congress to be director of the CIA.
Analysis: Obama and GOP want to replace across-the-board cuts, but with what?
WASHINGTON (AP) — After two tumultuous years of budget brinkmanship, President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress finally agree on something — namely, that a previous 10-year pact to cut $1 trillion across the board was such a bad idea it must be stopped before it starts.
If consensus counts as good news in an era of divided government, consider this: They also disagree vehemently on a suitable replacement.
As a result, they seem likely to spend the spring and perhaps a good part of the summer struggling to escape a bind of their own making. And this time, Medicare and the rest of the government's benefit programs are likely to face changes.
Already, the two sides are laying down markers.
Obama called on Congress on Tuesday to join him in developing a replacement for the across-the-board reductions, "a balanced mix of spending cuts and more tax reform."
Boy Scouts of America board meets in Texas amid discussion of changing policy banning gays
IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America's policy excluding gay members and leaders could be up for a vote as soon as Wednesday, when the organization's national executive board meets behind closed doors under intense pressure from several sides.
BSA announced last week it was considering allowing troops to decide whether to allow gay membership. That news has placed a spotlight on executive board meetings that began Monday in Irving, Texas, where scouting headquarters is located.
BSA spokesman Deron Smith said last week that the board could take a vote Wednesday or decide to discuss the policy, but the organization would issue a statement either way. Otherwise, the board has remained silent, with reporters barred from the hotel where its meetings are taking place.
At nearby BSA headquarters, a handful of Scouts and leaders delivered petitions Monday in support of letting gay members join. The conservative group Texas Values, meanwhile, says it has organized a Wednesday morning prayer vigil urging the Scouts to keep their policy the same.
President Barack Obama, an opponent of the policy, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an Eagle Scout who supports it, both have weighed in.
FBI: Ala. captor rigged bunker with explosives, waged 'firefight' against SWAT team saving boy
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) — As FBI and police negotiators spent days seeking to coax an Alabama man into freeing a 5-year-old boy held hostage in an underground bunker, the captor was making plans of his own.
FBI special agent Jason Pack said in an email that bomb technicians found two explosive devices Tuesday on the man's property. He said one was inside the bunker and the other in the plastic pipe Dykes had told officers to use to talk with him.
Pack said Dykes also "reinforced the bunker against any attempted entry by law enforcement." And when SWAT agents stormed the bunker Monday to rescue the boy, the FBI says Dykes engaged in a "firefight" before he was killed.
As the FBI released new details, the boy was reported doing well at home.
Woman charged in lover's slaying in Arizona continues testimony in death penalty trial
PHOENIX (AP) — Jodi Arias' life changed from the moment she met the man she killed. A world of opportunities seemed possible. A good job. A promising future. A potentially loving relationship.
As Arias testifies in her murder trial, she continues to lay out in painstaking detail the events that led up to the day she stabbed and shot Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home.
Her testimony was set to resume Wednesday.
Arias has told jurors of a past marred by abuse at the hands of her parents, the numerous boyfriends who cheated on her and how things seemed to take a turn for the better when she met Alexander.
The 32-year-old is now accused of stabbing and slashing him 27 times, slitting his throat and shooting him in the head in June 2008. She initially denied any involvement, then later blamed it on masked intruders before claiming self-defense.
Clues to timing of NKorea nuclear test seen in US holidays, Kim family dates, South's politics
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — So when will it be?
North Korea vowed last month to carry out its third nuclear test but has said nothing about timing. As a result, the building suspense in Seoul has prompted many to look at the dates Pyongyang has chosen for past atomic tests, as well as rocket and missile launches.
Dates and numbers have great symbolic importance to North Korea's government. So Pyongyang often schedules what Washington calls "provocative acts" around U.S. holidays and important South Korean political events, an effort to send none-too-subtle messages to its main enemies — Washington and Seoul. Pyongyang also uses the tests to give a nationalistic boost to its citizens, often favoring significant milestones of the state, party and ruling Kim family.
Here's a look at the "meaningful dates" North Korea has selected for past tests and launches, as well as future key dates on which Pyongyang might choose to stage its third nuclear test:
Mexico authorities seeking masked attackers who raped 6 Spanish tourists in Acapulco
ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Authorities have information they hope will lead them to the gang of armed, masked men who raped six Spanish tourists in the Mexican resort of Acapulco, the attorney general in the southern state of Guerrero said.
The vicious, hours-long attack at a beach home on the outskirts of Acapulco before dawn Monday was the latest chapter of violence that has tarnished the once-glamorous Pacific coast resort celebrated in Frank Sinatra songs and Elvis Presley movies.
"Fortunately we have strong evidence to lead us to those responsible for this reprehensible act," Guerrero state Attorney General Martha Garzon Guzman told Mexico's Radio Formula on Monday.
The beach home on an idyllic stretch of coastline had been rented by six Spanish men, six Spanish women and a Mexican woman.
The attackers gained access to the house because two of the Spaniards were in the yard and apparently were forced to open the door, Acapulco Mayor Luis Walton told a news conference late Monday.
Monopoly fans vote on 1 token to toss, 1 to add; shoe, iron or wheelbarrow face elimination
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — The classic Monopoly game is set for its most significant change in decades after fans of the game designed nearly 80 years ago voted to add a new token to replace the shoe, wheelbarrow or iron after they received the least support in an online contest.
Toy maker Hasbro Inc. is scheduled to announce the new token lineup Wednesday morning, hours after fans cast their final ballots to determine which of the five proposed pieces to add and which of the existing tokens to eject.
The tokens identify the players and have changed quite a lot since Parker Brothers bought the game from its original designer in 1935.
The voting closed just before midnight Tuesday. Rhode Island-based Hasbro says the wheelbarrow, shoe and iron were neck and neck for elimination through the Save Your Token Campaign. The new addition will be a robot, diamond ring, cat, helicopter or guitar.
Fans from more than 120 countries have voted.
Mayor defends New Orleans; investigation continues into still-baffling Super Bowl power outage
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans' mayor defended his city days after a power outage plunged the Super Bowl into 34 minutes of darkness, while authorities still baffled by the cause announced they were bringing in a consultant to help investigate.
The outage that embarrassed New Orleans as it sought to showcase its rebound from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina happened despite hundreds of thousands of dollars of improvements to decaying utility lines, documents show.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu sought to put an upbeat spin on the matter at a news conference Tuesday, saying the city's performance as host was near flawless despite the lights-out episode.
"The 34 minutes of darkness will never overshadow or outshine the city of New Orleans and how we performed this Super Bowl week," Landrieu said.
He also said the outage won't pull the plug on city plans to bid for an 11th Super Bowl in 2018. It last hosted a Super Bowl in 2002, three years before Katrina swamped the city.

In PvP, they are really useful- they also contribute to the whole feel of a paladin being a solid, almost immovable, player. You can curse and disease them as much as you want, but they'll hang on and get that last heal out the door before they die, and hopefully whoever they healed will now mulch you.
I've been called a cockroach by friends in BGs- Paladins are especially good under indirect fire. I remember once I healed through a 3 minute fight over a graveyard in AV- I was OOM for the last 2 minutes and almost constantly below 10% health, but I kept surviving until the end of the fight due to the flash of lights that take less mana per minute than I regen with my gear, combined with a bubble or two, a BoP, and an awesome hunter who knew how to trap.

Lately I've been hoping that as a culture we've reached a tipping point–that point where the ska kids gave up their checkerboard slipons for nü-metal or Juggalo paint or whatever it was that week. That's because all this emo revival going on has about one honest-to-goodness, authentic and talented band for every 10 faceless groups that found the Cap'n Jazz discography or an Indian Summer record and decided to start a band. Sure, I'd rather listen to that than 10 Taking Back Sunday clones, but that doesn't mean its any fucking good. Then something happens–then I listen to a album like Prawn's You Can Just Leave It All and I think maybe there are worse things out there if this continuing trend can produce a captivating piece of music like this.

In a world where Moving Mountains is now making shitty Underoath records, I'm really glad Prawn exists.
Nice review. This is a really good album. I love putting this on at work and just letting it repeat for a few hours.
Fantastic record.
Mystereohasmono (August 19, 2011)
Front-runner for record of the year.
The vocals sound a bit weird to me, but I've only listened to it a few times. Could grow on me. The EP was more immediate when it came out, but this is probably still better.
Yeah, could just be the Appleseed Cast influence, but I like that they're spinning a post-rock take on the twinkle daddy phenom.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (April 25, 2012) – Freshman pitcher Alyssa Landrith (Vacaville, Calif.) tossed the first perfect game for Rutgers softball since April 6, 2000 to help the Scarlet Knights defeat Iona 1-0 in game one of a nonconference doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon at Rice Oval. Senior Noelle Sisco (Towaco, N.J.) added her first complete game of the season, completing the sweep with a 4-1 win in game two.
Andria Koehler was the last RU pitcher to toss a perfect game for the Scarlet Knights, coming in a 4-0 win against Monmouth during her freshman campaign. With the win Landrith also moves into a tie for second with Kelly Gallagher (1985) on Rutgers' single season win list with 17 (17-9) on the year.
Sophomore left fielder Loren Williams (Los Angeles, Calif.) broke up the scoreless affair in game one with a deep fly ball over the left field fence, putting Rutgers out in front 1-0 in the top of the sixth inning. She finished game one 2-for-3 from the plate, while junior shortstop Ashley Bragg (Middletown, Del.) registered two singles and a stolen base.
Starter Sarah Jackson (13-10) threw the complete game, allowing the lone run on five hits and striking out nine.
In game two, it was the Gaels (26-22) who struck first, as starting pitcher Alyssa Maiese helped herself out with a solo home run over the center field fence, putting Iona on top 1-0 after two complete innings.
Rutgers (24-24) tied it up in the top of the fifth, as senior catcher Kylee Bishop (Tacoma, Wash.) drew a one-out walk and was moved over on a sacrifice bunt from senior outfielder Lindsey Curran (Monroe Township, N.J.). An error on Iona's third baseman allowed Williams to reach second and Bishop to score to even things up.
A leadoff double from junior second baseman Jennifer Harabedian (Flemington, N.J.) was followed by a passed ball to put a runner on third base with no outs. Harabedian was sent home on a ball hit to the infield by Bragg, to give RU its first lead of the contest at 2-1.
The Scarlet Knights added insurance for Sisco with two more runs in the top of the seventh. Freshman Ashley Alden (Ivyland, Pa.) tabbed her first hit of the afternoon and a sacrifice bunt from Bishop moved her into scoring position. Curran notched her second hit of the contest, a double into right field, allowing Alden to beat the relay throw and slide home safely. With Curran advancing on the throw to the plate, a single into right from senior third baseman Brittney Lindley (Cicero, N.Y.) easily scored Curran from third for the 4-1 lead.
Sisco was able to hang on in the bottom of the seventh for her second victory of the season (2-0) and keep Rutgers a perfect 6-0 all-time against Iona. Sisco allowed one run on five hits and matched her season-high in strikeouts with five. Maiese falls to 12-10 on the year after allowing two earned runs on six hits.

First Aid & Emergencies
Insect Bites and Stings and Spider Bites - Topic Overview
Insect and spider bites often cause minor swelling, redness, pain, and itching. These mild reactions are common and may last from a few hours to a few days. Home treatment is often all that is needed to relieve the symptoms of a mild reaction to common stinging or biting insects and spiders.
Some people have more severe reactions to bites or stings. Babies and children may be more affected by bites or stings than adults.
Examples of problems that are more serious include:
- A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). Severe allergic reactions are not common
but can be life-threatening and require emergency care. Signs or symptoms may
- Shock, which may occur if the circulatory system cannot get enough blood to the vital organs.
- Coughing, wheezing, trouble breathing, or feeling of fullness in the mouth or throat.
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, ears, eyelids, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and mucous membranes (angioedema).
- Lightheadedness and confusion.
- Nausea, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.
- Raised, red, itchy bumps called hives and reddening of the skin. These symptoms often occur with other symptoms of a severe reaction.
toxic reaction to a single sting or bite. Spiders or
insects that may cause this include:
- Black widow spider.
- Brown recluse spider.
- Scorpion.
- Puss caterpillar (woolly slug).
toxic reaction to multiple stings or bites from a bee,
wasp, or fire ant.
- A bee leaves its stinger behind and then dies after stinging. Africanized honeybees, the so-called killer bees, are more aggressive than common honeybees and often attack together in great numbers.
- Wasps, including hornets and yellow jackets, can sting over and over.
- A fire ant attaches to a person by biting with its jaws. Then, pivoting its head, it stings from its belly in a circular pattern at multiple sites.
- A large skin reaction at the site of the bite or sting.
- A skin infection at the site of the bite or sting.
- Serum sickness, a reaction to the medicines (antiserum) used to treat a bite or sting. Serum sickness may cause hives and flu-like symptoms about 3 to 21 days after the use of antiserum.
- A virus infection. Infected mosquitoes can spread the West Nile virus to people, causing an inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). For more information, see the topic West Nile Virus.
- A parasite infection. Infected mosquitoes can spread malaria. For more information, see the topic Malaria.
Check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor.

World Wide Instameet 2012 #Hamburg
Followers welcome :)
More than a dozen dedicated Instagramers from Hamburg responded to Instagram's call for a worldwide meetup of local photo enthusiasts on July 26th.
We met at the beautiful Planten un Blomen park in the very heart of the city on a lovely thursday evening the sun smiling from above. First time I ever participated in such an event and it will surely not be the last time. The people showing up were all a bunch of amiable guys.
Look here for some impressions

FORT WAYNE – Three businesses scattered across the city – two restaurants and a discount retailer – were ambushed Tuesday by men carrying weapons.
The holdups took place within about a 20-hour period, according to police reports, but five of the six thieves left empty-handed.
No one was injured and no arrests have been made, according to police said.
Fort Wayne police spokeswoman Raquel Foster said investigators do not believe the holdups were related.
The first holdup took place about 2:40 a.m. at Steak n' Shake, 5402 Meijer Drive, near Interstate 469 and Indiana 37, police said.
According to police reports, two employees were in the back of the restaurant and heard someone pounding on the counter. One employee looked through a window into the dining area and saw a man with his face covered with a red bandanna who was hitting the counter.
A second man wearing a dark-colored bandanna was also inside, witnesses told police. One of the men was seen carrying a black handgun and the other was armed with a baseball bat, according to police reports.
Both employees ran to a nearby cooler and locked themselves inside, leaving several customers in the front of the restaurant with the two men. The two men ordered the customers to get on the floor and then fled, empty-handed, out the front door, police said.
About 18 hours later, police arrived at Dollar General, 1850 Bluffton Road, where the store manager said a man had run in and demanded money with a large knife or machete-style weapon.
The manager told police he was assisting a customer at the counter about 8:30 p.m. when a man about 5-foot-3 entered through the front doors. He was white and wearing jeans, a tan jacket, a white bandanna covering his face and a red baseball hat.
The manager gave the man money from the drawer. He fled out the front door and got into a vehicle, police said.
At 10:42 p.m., three men entered Arby's restaurant at 9831 Lima Road carrying handguns, according to police reports.
One of the men approached the manager and pushed her to the floor, she told police. The woman ran to the drive-through window and crawled out and onto the ground.
One of the robbers noticed the woman had escaped and yelled to the other men that she was gone. The three men then exited the restaurant and the manager ran back inside, locking the doors, reports said.
Nothing was stolen during the holdup, according to police reports.
Foster said fast-food restaurants, especially those open 24 hours, can be easier targets for thieves simply because they are open during odd hours.
Robbers can watch the businesses during the day while other customers are around that help them blend in and then determine the perfect window of opportunity to strike, she said.
They want a time where it's unlikely that there will be customers to be witnesses or a time when there are only a few employees, Foster said.
Foster praised employees from all three businesses for being alert and aware of their surroundings.
That's something we've been preaching for some time, especially with all of the bank robberies last year, the apartment complex robberies and the businesses hit over the holidays. People need to be alert and be aware of their surroundings, Foster said.
It seems these people were very much alert and paying attention to who was coming into their store, Foster said.

Have you ever listened to a pop song and wondered who the inspiration was behind it? Some artists are willing to admit who their muses are, while others keep it hush-hush.
Katy Perry's first big hit, "I Kissed A Girl", exploded onto the scene in 2008. Who was the girl that left such an impression on her? The answer will surprise many. Katy Perry admits her muse was actress Scarlett Johansson, though the two never actually locked lips.
Billy Joel sang about his "Uptown Girl" in the 80's. When the song first came out, there was some confusion about who his muse was. It turns out that he had two! The song was originally written for his model girlfriend, Elle MacPherson. However, when the two broke up, Joel refocused the song on another model and actress, Christie Brinkley.
The next song is one of the most popular pop mysteries of all. Carly Simon belted out "You're So Vain" in the early 70's. She recently admitted to fellow songstress, Taylor Swift, who her inspiration was. As for the rest of us, we may never know. There are rumors that it could have been a number of men, including actor Warren Beatty, rock legend Mick Jagger, and music producer David Geffen. However, the singer is keeping tight-lipped about her muse.
Like Simon's song, "American Pie" by Don McLean is another song about filled with characters and people that listeners wonders about. People have written essays about the different meanings and interpretations of McLean's hit.
Don McLean himself isn't safe from songs. Although not intended for him, Lori Lieberman's "Killing Me Softly" has been attributed to be about Don McLean for many years.
Joan Baez's "Diamonds and Rust" was written about Bob Dylan. It was her way of telling him that he never thanked her for her help early in his career.
Who was The Beatles "Hey Jude" written about? Jude was short for Julian, who was John Lennon's five-year-old son. Lennon had separated from his wife to be with Yoko Ono, and Julian was dealing with his parent's divorce. Paul McCartney wrote the song to comfort Jules Lennon.
Finally, another Beatles entry "Something" was written about George Harrison's girlfriend Pattie Boyd. He wrote it during a turbulent time in their relationship.
Pattie Boyd later married Eric Clapton, and he wrote "Layla" and "Wonderful tonight" about her.

April 11, 2005
The number of workers idled because of lockouts and strikes in 2004 rose from the prior year while the number of days of idleness fell.
There were 17 major work stoppages that began during 2004 and one major work stoppage that continued from 2003, resulting in 170,700 idled workers and 3.3 million workdays of idleness. Comparable figures for 2003 were 14 stoppages, 129,200 workers idled, and 4.1 million workdays of idleness.
In private industry, the largest number of stoppages occurred among the service-providing industries (seven) and in the manufacturing sector of the goods-producing industries (three). Of the stoppages in the service-providing industries, four were in the health care and social assistance sector and three were in the accommodation and food service sector.
In State and local government, two stoppages were in the transportation and warehousing sector and one was in the health care and social assistance sector.
These data are from the BLS Collective Bargaining Agreements program. To learn more about work stoppages, see "Major Work Stoppages in 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-598. Major work stoppages are strikes or lockouts that idle 1,000 or more workers and last at least one shift.

Hello from beautiful Portland, Oregon!
SPX this year was one of the best shows I've been to.
I was able to attend the Small Press Expo through a generous Professional Development Grant from the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
They helped me pack my suitcase, fly across the country, sell my wares, meet new readers, attend lectures, and meet some of my favorite artists and writers. Thank you, RACC!
All of my non-cartoonist friends kept saying "Where are you going, again?" and I had to explain, "Beautiful Bethesday, Maryland!" where I stayed in the confines of a Marriott and its surrounding Vietnamese restaurant for a solid 60 hours, mere spitting distance of Liz Prince the whole time.
Liz Prince, noted Tomboy, sold out of books on the first day!
The person jumping out of frame created a book of lady cartoonist trading cards!
My dear from and fellow CCS instructor, Jon Chad, author of "The Bad-ventures of Bobo Backslack".
What Else: I saw the magical Lynda Barry, told Charles Burns I "loved his brush work", met Mimi Pond, got John Porcellino's new book, was dazzled by Sascha Velour, and got to sit by my fantastic friends Alec Longstreth and Greg Means all weekend! BONUS: Guess why we are all making these faces.
Artist and feminist advice columnist Nicole Georges says: the silent treatment is not okay.
I just flew back from SPX and boy are my arms tired. Shown here with Liz Prince, who sold out of Tomboy on day one!
Ponyo with a donut.
October 2014-January 2015
I am looking for an organized, responsible, task-master of an intern who has a working knowledge of Photoshop, Indesign, and basic web maintenance. This person will help me assemble book and calendar projects, prepare for comics shows, and get a close up view of a working cartoonist.
Unpaid internship
5-8 hours a week
Tasks will include:
Pre-production in Photoshop
Assembling projects in Indesign
Dealing directly with printers/publishers
Packing Orders
Delivering orders to stores & post office
Wordpress/Tumblr Maintenance
Ordering & managing merchandise
Letting Ponyo the chihuahua sit on your lap
Possibly teaching her a new trick
Candidates should be organized, responsible problem solvers who are not allergic to dogs.
Most work will occur in North/NorthEast Portland.
Having auto transportation is a bonus, but if you have a bicycle and a good
attitude about riding it to the post office, that is great, too.
Your own laptop is a must.
This would be a great opportunity for someone who is interested in chihuahua maintenance, fine tuning their pre-production skills, and seeing a publishing project from beginning to end.
This internship could be an opportunity to grow into a temporary, (modestly) paid position in 2015.
To apply:
Send a resume with a cover letter by 9/17/14, telling me about yourself, your qualifications, and what you hope to get out of this internship.
to: nicolejgeorges at gmail dot com.
If you are a self-publisher or artist, please include those things in your resume or cover letter.
Important Note:
I respond with the speed of a cast-wearing sloth, so if you don't hear from me, please follow up & be patient!
As my old website gets the paddles of life (i.e. we try to figure out how to get in contact w/ the dudes from Moldova who own the server), Tumblr is my new hangout!
I just added a bunch of content and information. It should suffice for now.
Happy belated National Dog Day, from Ponyo.
Hello! My website is down for mysterious reasons! Please contact me directly through FB or nicolejgeorges at gmail.

Live Q&A today at 3:30 Eastern: How is the developing brain of a child like the emerging global brain of the Internet?
"The Internet, like the developing brain of a child, is in a rapid phase of growth and change. This means that just as we must be mindful in how we nurture our children's minds, we must also pay careful attention to how we develop our global brain."
In conjunction with her TED Book, author and Webby Awards founder Tiffany Shlain has put together an excellent short film explaining her fascinating ideas about how brain development in kids parallels the development of the Internet.

Organizations that are interesting in child development, internet policy, education, tech, are all getting them made. It feels so great for our team to make these free films for nonprofits who do such imp. work but often don't have media to get their message out. The nonprofits will then use the film (which looks like it's their film with their call to action, url and logo at the end) for events, fundraising, email campaigns, etc.

|Look up boutique in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A boutique is a small shopping outlet, especially one that specializes in elite and fashionable items such as clothing and jewellery. The word is French for "shop", via Latin from Greek ἀποθήκη (apothēkē), "storehouse".[1][2]
The term entered into everyday English use in the late 1960s when, for a brief period, London was the centre of the fashion trade. Carnaby Street and Kings Road were the focus of much media attention as home to the most fashionable boutiques of the era.
This term can also refer to a specialised firm such as a boutique investment bank or boutique law firm. The word is often used to describe a property in the independent section of the hotel market (such as The Rockwell in London) in order to distinguish themselves from larger chains (such as Hilton Hotels). In such cases, the establishments aim to convey the idea that the operation is elite and highly specialised.
In the strictest sense of the word, boutiques would be one-of-a-kind but more generally speaking, some chains can be referred to as boutiques if they specialize in particular styles.
Recently, the term "boutique" has started being applied to normally-mass-market items that are either niche or produced in intentionally small numbers at very high prices. This may be referred to as boutique manufacturing. For example, before the release of the Wii, a Time Magazine article suggested that Nintendo could become a "boutique video-game company", producing games for niche audiences, rather than trying to compete directly with Microsoft and Sony.[3]
Although some boutiques specialize in hand-made items and other truly one-of-a-kind items, others simply produce t-shirts, stickers, and other fashion accessories in artificially small runs and sell them at high prices.
In late 1990s some European retail traders developed the idea of tailoring a shop towards a lifestyle theme, in the form of "concept stores",[4][5] which specialised in cross-selling without using separate departments. One of the first[when?] concept stores was 10 Corso Como in Milan, Italy followed by Colette[6] in Paris and Quartier 206[7][8] in Berlin. Several well-known American chains such as Urban Outfitters,[9][10] D-A-S-H, and The Gap,[11] Australian chain Billabong and, though less common, Lord & Taylor adapted to the concept store trend after 2000.
