Sacred Frankincense and Cancer
Softball sized tumor gone in 2 months
"My platinum upline has a personal friend who had a softball size tumor on his colon and was ready to have his colon removed. He started drinking this (Frankincense Resin) water and within 2 months, it completely disintegrated - no surgery!!"
Frankincense Resin Water:
Put enough Frankincense resin to cover the bottom of a glass quart jar. Fill it to the top with boiling water and cover with a glass lid or plate (nothing plastic) and let it sit overnight. Strain the next day and drink this 32 oz of Frank water over the entire day. It is NOT recommended to drink it all at once or it may cause a bit of nausea - the detox may be too much for some people all at once. Each night, add more hot water to the resin and maybe add a few more pieces of resin as they begin to dissolve. Many people drink this one quart of water every day with great results.
Frankincense resin can also be chewed like chewing gum.

older article:
Please note that according to chemistry true therapeutic grade essential oils are all alkalizing and have covalent bonds, that means they can go after anything with a missing electron in its outer shell. That is one of the ways they can distinguish what doesn't belong. There are more studies on Boswellic Acid and Frankincense clinically than pretty much anything else for health.
In attending the YL Grand Convention we heard the physician from Oman who creates distillation procedures state that the only known cancers in Oman are people who moved to other places and that those in Oman who use the Frankincense from the Sacra tree have NO known cancers of any kind. Oman has the lowest stats of cancer in the world. Contrary to a lot of bs on the web, Oman has NEVER allowed their hojari grade Frankincense Sacra outside of the country. Historically it was for royalty. Young Living has the first and only contract and distillary in Oman and is allowed to export it for Young Living. This one is called Sacred Frankincense in Young Living.
Another important note: According to the world's head chemist on essential oils, Dr. Herve Casabianca who has set the standard (AFNOR lab in France) for therapeutic grade essential oils, Young Living is the ONLY company that tests every batch with two matching labs to AFNOR (one in Ecuador where Dr. Casabianca examines new eo's collected by Gary Young) and in Spanish Fork, Utah where Dr. Casabianca has visited several times to ensure it is perfect. Young Living now surpasses the standards for therapeutic grade. Our Frankincense - Boswella Carteri from Somalia is excellent too but the Sacra is the best.
If you are interested in any of these products or in learning how to use your own you can go to http://hai.younglivingworld.com or email me for a medical intuitive appointment. Happily, being psychic I don't need to meet the person or animal needing help.
The Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are the only ones my family, friends and clients have obtained results with such as found in these true healing stories.

Time to dig those jackets out of the cedar chest, Utah: A cold front has moved into the region and plans to stay for a while.
Temperatures along the Wasatch Front plunged Wednesday, making summer a memory.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
By Wednesday evening, area ski resorts — including Alta, Snowbird, Snowbasin and Powder Mountain — had a dusting of snow.
There were also snow flurries near the summit of Parleys Canyon during the afternoon.
The daytime highs for Thursday were forecast to retreat into the mid-50s, down about 5 degrees from already chilly temperatures forecast on Wednesday.
And then there's the wind. Gusty weather was expected throughout the state through late Wednesday night, though it was much of the southern third of Utah that was under a Wind Advisory from noon to 10 p.m. on Wednesday.
Add to the mix isolated rain showers throughout northern Utah, with some snowfall predicted in the mountains above 5,000 feet elevation.
The National Weather Service predicted winds of 25-35 mph with gusts topping 50 mph during the advisory period.
Along with the wind, southern Utahns looked for highs in the low- to mid-80s Wednesday to give way to daytime temperatures in the 70s on Thursday.
All that atmospheric mixing meant "Green," or healthy air quality for the state from north to south. The Utah Division of Air Quality predicted those conditions will remain into the weekend.
The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website had good news for allergy sufferers in general, though sagebrush pollen was the exception, coming in "very high." Ragweed was at "moderate" levels.
Salt Lake City's high temperature Thursday was pegged at 53, down sharply from the 65 degrees predicted Wednesday; Ogden looked for 52 and 60 degrees, respectively; Provo 59 and 69; Logan 50 and 57; Wendover 54 and 61; Duchesne 61 and 69; Cedar City 62 and 73; St. George 75 and 86; and Moab 79 and 82 degrees.

A few days after showing you Flo Rida's chrome Bugatti Veyron , we were given word that another supercar just got the chrome treatment: the Lexus LF-A .
This particular LF-A is being touted as the first one of its kind to be wrapped in chrome, which was done by a company called Exotic Graphix. The supercar is expected to make its debut at the annual MotorEx 2012 car show in Australia and is getting considerable attention because a) it looks awesome, and b) becomes it looks really, really awesome.
We know the trick with chrome-wrapped cars and how it's tough to keep aesthetic maintenance of the car considering its chrome nature. But if you can make it worth the time and resources, you have a supercar that just blows you away just by looking at it.
This is one of them. About the only thing more staggering than its aesthetics is the monstrous price tag attached to it: AUD$779,000. That's around $800,000 based on current exchange rates.

Try ipadio without registering
For an immediate demonstration of ipadio with no need to register you can hear yourself talking on this page, just by dialling in and speaking. This live demonstration is the easiest way we can find to show you how any telephone can now talk directly to the web, but your calls don't have to go out live once you have an ipadio account.
1. Turn your speakers on.
2. Call +44 (0)203 384 2144, a normal UK local rate number.
3. Then when asked for your pin enter 7881, and talk.
Then in a few seconds - you'll hear yourself!
If you'd like a free ipadio channel of your own, register for an ipadio account to try all of the other things that you can do with ipadio.
Oh - the player above is just to show you that ipadio can be live, and can work from any phone. Which we're really excited about.
But if you set up an account, you have a history of all your calls and can embed a player a bit like this one on to your web site. This allows you to title, tag, transcribe (or convert with Spinvox), add photos, geolocate, share to other social media sites (Twitter, Facebook plus the other usual suspect), notify followers (by email, Tweet & FB status), allow comments and discussion, podcast to iTunes & RSS and quite a bit more. You can even make private broadcasts that never appear on ipadio.com, only on your own site. Or avoid making a call at all, and upload locally recorded MP3s. For free. Go on, have a go :-)

On any given day, you are liable to talk positively or negatively about a company or an organization that you have interactions with. Businesses count on the positive interactions to increase what they call brand awareness. The same goes for your as a person.
When someone has an interaction with you, they will feel something. They will think something. And they will remember something. Believe it or not, what that is, is entirely up to you.
Think about your favorite companies and people. They all have something you remember without even thinking about it. I can tell you right now that I LUV Southwest Airlines because they are easy to work with, don't gouge me and genuinely love what they do and who they serve. I can tell you right now that my experiences with many other airlines don't give me that same feeling. Their "WOW" factor is a negative one.
The same thing goes with people. My friend Tylor who is a tennis pro has a "WOW" factor when it comes to his passion for his craft. He really is the most passionate person I know who works each and every day on the court. His clients feed off of his passion and his energy. I also know other people who drain your energy, your passion and your drive.
I bring all this up because of what Is aid at the beginning: What people feel about you, is in fact, entirely up to you!
What is your WOW factor?

the cake was moist with a deep banana flavor, but nothing special. for the results, the frosting was a little too much trouble to make...tasted almost like a commercial, frozen, whipped "frosting"; not as dense as pictured, it was a little hard to frost between layers, not enough body given the density of the cake.

The highway runs along the east side of town. The actual town is pleasant in a non-crowded way. That is, many people get to their destinations on foot and so the town is not totally cluttered with cars. The map is located at here. The large, full resolution maps (5mb ZIP files) are available at the INETER website, click to download PART 1 & PART 2 of the Esteli city map.
An excellent history of Estelí can be found on manfut.org and as it is already in Spanish, you don't have to translate it. :-) Thanks Carl. In addition, a video produced in 1985 shows Estelí at that time. Amazing how little it has changed.
NicaLiving member Billy Bob just wrote a walking tour of Estelí. Check it out here .
The NicaLiving Esteli photo gallery.
- Police: 118
- Red Cross: 119
- Fire Dept: 713 2413
Local Transport
I would classify Estelí as a mixed transport town. There are lots of buses, bicycles are almost as popular as cars, oxcarts and horses, while less popular are there; you can walk to most things, taxies are all over and home delivery is available.
Most Taxis are Kia Prides. There are little cars that, unlike Hyundais, seem pretty sturdy. Shared cabs are the rule rather than the exception and fares are per person. A hand wave will get a cab to stop. Expect to pay C$8 for a trip most anywhere within town, C$10 for a trip from one end to the outskirts on the other end. After dark, prices are pretty much up for grabs but expect C$10 for normal trips, C$15 or more if the cab has to go far away or to "a bad area".
Another alternative is the Urbano. This is a local bus that stops, well, everywhere. That is, just about anywhere you want. For example, the El Rosario-Hospital Urbano runs from my end of town (at the north end) thru town to the hospital which is on the Pan Americana, south of town. Fares are cheap (C$2.5 sounds typical plus whatever the pick pockets can get. So, watch your money. Just get on and sit down (if there is space). Someone will come around and get your money--the driver just drives. (Note that this rule is apparently true for all but one Urbano. On that one, you pay as you leave. Strange.)
If you have a lot of stuff you need delivered, look for a person with a hand cart. There are square boxes with two car tires on them. They hang out near the central park (SW corner), the public market and around hardware stores. Prices seem more negotiable but C$30 is probably about as much as you will ever have to pay.
For bigger loads--from a small pickup to a 5 ton truck, look around the Shell station a few blocks east of the park on the Pan Am. Prices (and number of helpers) seem negotiable but cheap.
Outside of the central core which had lots of street signs attached to buildings on the street corners, the rest of the town is identified by barrio names. I hope to get a map to put up here that should help you out.
That said, the actual barrio you are in is subject to interpretation. For example:
- My Electric bill is hand-delivered to a description in Barrio Carlos Nuquez
- My water bill is hand delivered to a description in Barrio Omar Torrijos
- The garbage people claim I am in Barrio 16 Julio
- My cable bills claims Barrio Arlen Siu
- Some people have suggested I am in Barrio El Rosario
- My friend Stephen, who lives a block away, has more suggestions
The good news is that it seems with any of these descriptions, my house can be found. I am sure "Where does the Gringo with the big furry white dog named Carlos live?" would also work in much of Estelí. Note that sometime in January, 2005, I am moving about five blocks south of Mercado Alfredo Lazo in the south end. It will probably take a few weeks before everyone in town knows that Carlos and I live in a different place.
I will add pages about "places" in Estelí as time goes on. As food is a common question, I will attempt to add restaurants to give you a general idea of what to expect.
While talking about addresses, let me point out that on or about 1 July 2007, the post office moved. It is now located in the "old hospital". (I know this because I went to pick up my mail in my box yesterday and was surprised they were closed at 11:50. Today I was told by Gixia that her mom said they moved. No notice on the old building--just the door closed.)
DestinationsWhile somewhat redundant, here are some destinations that any cab driver will understand. If you are not going to these specific places, prepend a number of cuadras (blocks) and a direction.
- la renta
- los bancos
- la escuela normal (which is sometimes called "el normal"
- bancentro
- el parque
- el parque infantil
- Starmart
- Texaco viejo (Petronic El Carmen in the middle of town)
- policia
- transito (transit police)
- cotran norte (bus station for buses going north and some to Managua)
- cotran sur (bus station for southbound buses--both contrans are on the Pan Am about 500 meters apart)
- Cotran viejo (where the bus station used to be--just south of Mercado Alfredo Lazo)
- Las Segovias
- Palí
- Del Hogar
- El hospital
- La Casita
- Mercado Alfredo Lazo (south-end public market)
- La pelota (the ball on the Pan Am where the road to Jinotega splits off)
- La iglecia
Buses to Other AreasIf you are traveling outside of the city proper, there are two bus stations along the east side of the Pan Am, less than 500 meters apart. They are named Cotran Norte and Cotran Sur. You can probably guess which one is further north. Why are there two? Politics.
As a general rule, if you are going to head to a destination north of Esteli, go to Cotran Norte. The exception is Managua where there are buses from each terminal. When bus shopping, for bigger destinations you have your choice of express or "ordinary" service. There is a certain amount of charm calling non-express ordinary but, if you just want to get to the other end the charm will quickly wear off. As for prices, a trip to Managua is about C$30 ordinary, C$50 express.
Grocery Shopping
There are two public markets. One is a block north on the NW corner of the central park. This market is in a building. The other market which amounts to a few blocks of stalls--some permanent, others not--is located at the south end of town. If you head down the main southbound street (the one with the banks and one block west of the central park) you will eventually come to the market. As well as fresh produce there are lots of little storefronts that sell beans of all sorts and rice.
An alternative for fresh produce is to just stay at home and wait. Trucks, carts and people with produce in plastic bags cover the town regularly. Prices vary from good to bad but you have a choice of whether to buy.
For real groceries, there are three supermarkets (for a certain value of super) plus an uncountable number of pulperias. The supermarkets are:
- Las Segovias -- six or so blocks south of the banks. This is the largest and oldest of the supermarkets.
- Del Hogar -- just north of the public market on the main northbound street. I have never found the sign. It is on the west side of the street on the north side of an intersection. This is the most creative of the supermarkets. TSP (texturized soy protein) and Negro Modelo have been seen there.
- Palí -- on the main northbound street a few blocks south of the central park. Palí is the low-end store of a Costa Rica grocery chain that Walmart is buying. This is a small store but it likely has the best prices for what it has and you can sometimes find things there that are common in Costa Rica but hard to find locally.
There are five banks in Estelí: BAC, Bancentro, Banpro, Banco ProCredit and BDF. All except Bancentro are on the one corner with traffic lights on the main southbound street. This puts them one block west and one block south of the central park. All five have ATMs but only the BAC one coughs up dollars. Bancentro is located a block north of Palí and, as a bonus, its ATM will talk to you in English, Spanish or French.
Traffic Lights
Estelí is the home of the only traffic light on the Pan Americana between Managua and Honduras. In addition, there are three other traffic lights in Estelí:
- NW corner of the Parque Central
- The bank corner a block south and a block west of the Parque Central
- At the Old Texaco (Petronic El Carmen) on the main northbound road thru town.
Car Stuff
There are six gas stations in Estelí. I suppose gas is somewhat misleading as they all have diesel, of course. And Petronic El Carmen also has kerosene.
- Petronic on Pan Americana at the south end of town.
- Petronic on the main northbound road thru town at the traffic light. This used to be a Texaco and lots of directions are relative to the Texaco. For example, the cable company is 3.5 blocks east of the Texaco meaning this gas station.
- Old Shell on the Pan Americana at the south end of town (but north of the PetroNic)
- Shell on the Pan Americana east of the Parque Central a few blocks.
- Esso a few blocks north of the Shell
- StarMart on the Pan Americana at the north end of town. While this is a Texaco, it is known as the StarMart. A reference relative to the "Texaco" is actually relative to the Petronic in town. Confused yet?
There are auto parts stores all over town--about half on the Pan Americana. Repuestos San Cristobol on the Pan Americana looks small but seems to have an amazing assortment of part. Briones, in town a few blocks south of the Parque Central, is auto parts and a hardware store. I have found metric bolts here, for example. Unlike in the U.S. where everyone has the same thing, auto parts stores and hardware stores tend to have different inventories. So, if the first store doesn't have it, keep looking.
If you need a tire repaired, just look around. There are tire repair places everywhere. I would guess ten on the Pan Americana in Estelí. I took a tire to a little shack with two people and an air compressor just south of the StarMart. I was running errands and came back about an hour later. It was fixed. I asked how much and he said C$20. Being amazed (that's about $1.20) I asked how come it was so expensive. He explained that there were four holes he had to patch. He was serious and I was more amazed.

New and better website for Esteli
Here's the new website for the alcaldia of Esteli. It's an improvement over the other one I posted before. It includes info on the municipality's finances, where the money goes, mayor's salary etc. Also has info on administrative stuff, business requirements, etc, contact info, complaint/suggestion box, almost everything that might be needed. It was launched yesterday so not everything is up. It was agreed that the site will be updated at least once a month.
Again the address: http://www.alcaldiaesteli.gob.ni/index.shtml
Alcaldia de Esteli
It's not the best website
It's not the best website, but I liked the PDFs that talk about the Plan Estratégico (Strategic Plan for the city) and Revista 2005, both which have pictures and maps.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's only IE compatible, same with the elesteliano.com website which they also run. I think they don't realize that it's not FireFox, etc compatible and that's it's not searchable on google, yahoo, etc.
SOS Children's Village Estelí
Is anyone familiar with this facility?I am interested in doing volunteer work at an Orphanage in Nica.
Esteli update Jul 06
The local rate for downtown cabs is up to 7 cords for short hops.
The post office "Correos" is 1/2 block east of the bank corner. If you have to send or receive a fax this is the place Window 3. I tried at one of the Internet places and it was a lot of hassle because of "bad connection". Correos did it fine with no problems. Not cheap, 52 cords for 2 pages sent.
Lotta power and water failures lately in the downtown area. Can´t help but notice how hard this is on local working people who have to get up early to get a shower before the water preasure goes down to zip for the rest of the day. It also renders the suicide water heaters useless most of the time because they need a certain amount of flow to kick on the heater. Homes/ businesses withour supplental water talks pearched on stilts are out of luck. Personnaly, I brought a camping type water hearter (plactic bag with clear top and reflective bottom). Works fine, I put in on the roof every morning and have 2.5 galons of heaven every afternoon.
For phone calls to the US I have found that Fono Center by the park is better than the other internet cafes I tried. For staters, Fono Center has land lines in a booth, rather than handhelds. 1.5 cords a minute to the US. Surprizing that local calls are 4 cords a minute.
S'more later
s'more update, Aug 06
Going rate for a taxi in town is 10 cords at night. Esteli is deader than the proverbial doornail at 530 am. Day or night, far and "bad" neighborhoods cost more. 7 by day, 10 by night works from the bus stations to the park, etc.
Security. Esteli is not a small town and is not heaven. Arguably, Esteli is now the second largest city in Nic., with a polulation of well over 100,000.
The family I am living with advised me to wear no jewelry, carry no more than 10 cords cash, stay in the city center, and get off the streets by 10 pm. And leave my passport and credit cards locked up at the house. The city center was loosely defined as anywhere with paved streets, with the additional warning that some ladrons walk through our neighborhood to access their own neighborhood.
I pretty much take their advice. I carry a photocopy of my passport and my one-size-fits-all tourist card, which I,m going to stash because it says 30 days and my passport says 90 days.
I{m now in the habit of getting 1000 cords of petty cash at a time from the machine at Bac. Worked good until I went to Somoto and their bank doesn,t have a machine. Did a day trip to Ocotal, Bancentro,s machine worked just fine. Actually, if you get 900 cords it works better because you don,t get stuck with all 500 cord notes.
Not an unsafe town, but not kickback like some of the smaller ones.
Book and stationary needs, as well as rice cookers, can be had at Ruben Dario bookstore just west of the park. Also, found postem stickers (wahoo!) at Jarles bookstore just south of Segovias Supermarket.
La Luna, just north of Del Hogar supermarket, has kingsize soft pillows, ( but no pillow cases).

Can I talk to you for a minute?
Six months ago today, I sat down at my desk at work, enjoying the second bite of my late afternoon lunch, when the CFO of the [small] company I was working for came over and said,
"Ah, lunch time."
"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
He then took me into our Human Resources Director's office, and "let me go."
I knew it was coming, after a string of emails on Friday afternoons announcing company veterans had left to 'pursue other opportunities.'
I was prepared for this moment, but it still sucked. Really bad.
I remember the freedom I felt as I arrived home early on that August afternoon, sun shining bright, and walked the two blocks from my house to the North Lake Tahoe Kings Beach to dig my toes into the sand.
I was happy in that moment (♥ Incubus) - the possibilities were endless, but I also had no idea where to start.
Six months later, I can say that, even that life event, happened for a reason.
I have since taken on more challenging and meaningful work, and learned a whole lot about myself in the process.
I made lemonade out of those lemons, and every sip is still refreshing.

Move has word of mouth implications for 75 Web sites that will display Facebook user recommendations going forward.
Facebook is set to dramatically increase its presence on the Web by syndicating its well-known "Like" button to numerous third party sites. Speaking during the keynote address today at the social site's f8 conference, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his Palo Alto, CA-based company has been working with 75 partners and plans to quickly proliferate the button on their sites. By doing so it will extend user profiles and Facebook's own brand to destinations such as Pandora.com and NYTimes.com.
"When we launch later today, we expect we'll serve 1 billion Like buttons on the Web within 24 hours," Zuckerberg said.
The button can already be seen at Pandora.com and movie site IMDB.com (seen below). When users who are logged into their Facebook accounts visit those sites and hit the Like button for a piece of content, their name and profile picture will be seen near the item, band, or movie.
The action will also appear in a user's news feed. If the user hits the Like button a second time, they will then "un-like" the item, and their name and profile picture will be removed.
Also, the user can see names and profile pictures of Facebook friends who have tapped the button on third-party sites. In essence by using a similar protocol to Facebook Connect, the button transports a user's community to whatever sites decide to incorporate the plug-in.
Michael Davidson, CEO of Newsvine.com, which is part of MSNBC.com, said he expected almost zero push-back from major consumer editorial brands to the idea of an increased Facebook presence on their sites.
"One of the best things about [the Like button] is that it does the same thing as Connect without users having to [activate] Connect," Davidson said. "It makes things easier. And we like it when Facebook makes things easier."
Many publishers like MSNBC.com, no doubt, will invite whatever extra traffic and user interactivity the Like button may bring. For that reason, the move also carries potentially healthy implications for e-retailers. Product recommendations can now include a Facebook friend's seal of approval. Jeans manufacturer Levi's is one of the earliest retail entities known to test the Like button.
In addition, Bret Taylor, product director for Facebook, revealed that developers will be able to search the social site's entire database for brand mentions and extract them for marketing purposes. The information will appear as a "module that says what people are saying about [a] brand," Taylor explained.
Both the Like button's pervasiveness and the search capability are made possible by Facebook's new open-graph protocol that's designed to give developers greater freedoms. In another manifestation of that strategy, Zuckerberg and Taylor both noted Facebook is getting rid of a policy preventing developers from storing data for more than 24 hours.
Speaking of data, Zuckerberg's presentation appeared to hint at new data sharing relationships with partner Web sites. For instance, toward the end of his speech he described what first-time visitors to music site Pandora.com - one of the beta testers for the Like button - may experience if they are currently logged into Facebook. He said, "It will be able to start playing music from bands you've been playing across the Web." It was not immediately clear what sources of user music preferences Facebook and Pandora might have access to.
"These features build on the same benefits that brands have experienced with other Facebook integrations," a Facebook representative told ClickZ. "As sites offer people more relevant and personalized experiences on the Web, brands can benefit from richer engagement with their fans."

The residents of Eskasoni make up the largest Mi'kmaw community in eastern Canada, the majority of whom claim Roman Catholicism as a primary religious affiliation. However, to describe the Mi'kmaq of Eskasoni as Roman Catholics belies the diversity and complexity of religious belief and expression practiced in the community. This ethnography contributes to the growing body of literature that includes Native views on the role of religion in Aboriginal societies. Drawing upon fieldwork conducted in a number of Mi'kmaw communities in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, this ethnography is concerned with three specific aspects of Mi'kmaw Catholicism. First, I elucidate the reciprocal nature of the exchange between Roman Catholicism and "traditional" Mi'kmaw beliefs and values, and the multiplicity of religious orientations that emerge from this exchange. Second, I address claims to authenticity by neo-Traditionalists, Mi'kmaw Catholics and Catholic-Traditionalists, paying particular attention to the various cultural markers, especially religious or spiritual motifs, beliefs and values that individuals may either invoke or subvert in the process of constructing positive Mi'kmaw personal and social identities. Third, I look at the role that religion and spirituality plays in the day-to-day lives of the Mi'kmaw people. Taken together, these three aspects of religion and spirituality highlight the distinctive local quality and significance of Roman Catholicism among the Mi'kmaq.

I can ask my mom's advice about almost anything, because she's already gone through so many of the things I'm facing for the first time. But because she became a naturalized U.S. citizen just six months before my 18th birthday, we experienced voting for the first time together.
The 2012 election was the first major election in which I could vote. I had turned 19, and I was in my third month as a freshman at Tufts University in Massachusetts. A very politically active campus, the atmosphere was charged in anticipation for Election Day. Excited about learning more about elections, I joined groups on campus that registered students to vote.
I learned about the importance of voting from my parents. Immigrants from Peru, my parents never fail to vote in the elections for their home country. Every five years, they shuttled my brother, sister and me from our small town in Westchester, NY, to New York City so that they could vote in the Peruvian elections. Voting was always a family affair, and an educational one at that!
As the weather warms up and schools dismiss for summer break, millions of young Americans are starting a new chapter in their lives.
Please Note: This blog post was written by our intern Cristine Lovato
I remember playing during recess - we divided into two teams – I was, on the team representing George McGovern and Jerry's team represented Richard Nixon – it was a game of "war" and to be honest I don't really remember who ended up winning the game but I certainly remember who won the election.

Many writers struggle with believing in themselves. They write and write, but all the while doubting their God-given abilities and talents. In short, they're waiting. I did the same.
I doubted myself and told others I was an aspiring writer, secretly hoping that one day I'd get the permission to call myself what I knew I already was.
There is one and only one way to become a writer — and it can make all the difference. Do you want to know what it is?
You have to say you're a writer.
This was what Steven Pressfield taught me when I interviewed him about becoming a professional writer. I asked him, "When do you become a writer?"
Is it when you get published? When you have 10,000 fans? When do you become legit?
His answer was this:
You are a writer when you tell yourself you are. No one else's opinion matters. Screw them. You are when you say you are.
This is the secret every professional knows that the amateurs don't. We who are gifted with words and language will only earn the attention of others when we first believe in ourselves.
Ever since a friend gently rebuked my doubts, telling me I was already I writer — I just needed to write — my attitude has shifted. I've stopped waiting for permission and started choosing myself.
You need to do this, too. To call yourself a writer. Not an aspiring one or a wannabe. But a real writer. This is a discipline, this calling yourself a writer, and one you must master.
Like so many things, this is not only true of writing, but of any craft or calling. If this describes how you're talking about your life's work, it's time for a change. Time to start calling yourself what you already are.
Time to call yourself a writer.

So I decided to interview them & post lots of pictures of them. Yay!First up: Amy Doan (codename: Shrinkle) of Sugarpill Cosmetics. We have known each other for years and years. She used to make really colorful dresses and sell them on eBay, and has since progressed to owning her own cosmetics company. Sugarpill is legendary, making some of the most saturated pigments I've ever seen, and none of it is repackaged.She also does an AMAZING eye, which she often photographs & features on Instagram. (Follow her! Her username is shrinkle.) I've never seen anyone else wear color so well, which is why she's such an inspiration to me and thousands of others.Click through to see some of her over-the-top, artistic eye looks and read her answers to my questions.
Jul 31, 2012 | 682 comments
Who are you & what do you do?I'm Amy, and I'm the founder of Sugarpill Cosmetics. We are based in Berkeley and specialize in obnoxiously bright, unnatural looking makeup you want to party in.
What does a normal day look like for you?I wake up about 9 am and lie in bed with my four cats for about an hour, drinking coffee and answering emails. I try to be at my office by 11 am. Once there, I spend most of my day brainstorming and developing new products for the line, communicating with our labs, and testing products in development on myself. We usually have at least 3-5 projects going on at once. I like to take occasional breaks between projects to check out and repost all the amazing Sugarpill makeup looks our customers share with us via Twitter and Facebook. We easily have the coolest, most creative and inspiring fans in the world. Getting to see all the incredible looks people create with Sugarpill is definitely one of my favorite parts of the job. I leave the office between 10-11pm and usually continue working from home, answering emails in bed with a pile of cats on me. Weekends are usually spent road-tripping to L.A. for trade shows, photo shoots or fashion shows. I work 7 days a week. Everyone tells me I need to take a break, but when I try, I don't know what else to do with myself. I really, really love makeup!
Describe your regular makeup look in a few words.Happy, slutty rainbows!
What do you use on your face?I can't really use foundation because I will turn into a grease ball and break out. So I have to keep my face makeup very, very simple. I like Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics' new concealer. It's lightweight but opaque enough to cover my old lady eye bags. I set it with Kryolan anti-shine face powder.
Do you have any make-up magic tricks?False eyelashes. They let you transform your eyes into any crazy shape or size you want, and are the fastest, easiest way to feel like a superstar.
What product have you recently discovered & love?Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics makes a clear mixing medium that has changed my life. It gives you 10,000 new ways to wear your makeup! I've been mixing it with all my eyeshadows to make my own colored mascaras and liquid eyeliners. I know mixing mediums have been around for a while, but OCC is one of few that are 100% cruelty-free and vegan.
Another product that I can't live without is Lit Cosmetics' liquid glitter base. Again, I know glitter has been around forever, but this is the best glitter product I've ever come across. It's a liquid adhesive that allows you to apply glitter with the utmost precision and consistency, and it doesn't flake off throughout the day. My current obsession is glitter eyebrows. I basically like any product that allows me to mix and create new things.
xoJane.com is where women go when they are being selfish, and where their selfishness is applauded.

Nevada's Online State News Journal
Nevada History:
[From The History of Nevada, edited by Sam P. Davis, vol. II (1912)]
On the 10th day of February, 1911, the Legislature erected the County of Mineral out of the northern portion of Esmeralda County. The Governor appointed as the first Board of County Commissioners, J. H. Miller, of Hawthorne, F. R. Red, of Rawhide, and B. R. Balzar, of Mina. The Board organized on February 18th, 1911, and appointed the following named County officers : Sheriff and Assessor, Eugene Grutt, of Rawhide ; Clerk and Treasurer, J. G. Atchinson, of Hawthorne; Recorder and Auditor, John Gallagher, of Hawthorne ; District Attorney, H. F. Brede, of Rawhide ; Public Administrator, W. E. Beauchamp, of Hawthorne County ; Surveyor, L. B. Spencer, of Hawthorne. These officers held until the next general election in 1912 at which election Eugene Grutt was again elected to the same office, J. H. White to the office of Clerk and Treasurer, S. T. Kelso to the office of Recorder and Auditor, John R. Melrose to the office of District Attorney, J. H. Miller and F. R. Red and Sol M. Summerfield were elected as a Board of County Commissioners.
This is essentially a Mineral County as it is named, although there is considerable agricultural area, principally in the northwestern portion of the county along the East Walker River and its tributaries, Sweetwater and Bodie Creeks, from the boundary line between California and Nevada to the boundary line between Mineral and Lyon Counties at the head of Walker Lake on the Indian reservation. The soil, in other portions of the county wherever water can be obtained, has proved highly productive.
The Nevada and California Railway extends through about the center of the county from its N. W. boundary to the S. E. boundary line, skirting the eastern shore of Walker Lake. Several ranges of mountains traverse the county from northwest to southeast, all of which are highly mineralized and are continuously being explored and developed by prospectors and miners. The majority of the towns of the county are the
result of the discovery of mines rich in gold, silver, copper, lead, etc. Earlier than the discovery of the Comstock, the mines of Aurora were producing millions in gold, and have been producers continuously, in varying quantities ever since. Very recently the Knight Investment Co. took over the principal mines and are prosecuting development work vigorously and are erecting a reduction works of 500 tons capacity daily. Aurora is situated near the boundary line of Nevada and California and 12 miles northeast of Bodie, Cal. (Mark Twain was discovered there). In the next range to the east, the Walker Lake Range, are numerous mining districts from the Beach Yerington and surrounding copper producers in the northern portion of the range, to mines in the Huntoon district in the southern portion of the county. The Chip-Munk Springs, Walker Lake, Mt. Cory, Alum Creek, etc. The Luckyboy mines are in Alum Creek district and produced over a million in silver and lead in a year. A tunnel is being driven on this property to a distance of six thousand feet to develop the known ore-bodies at a vertical depth of a thousand feet. The next range some 10 miles to the east, and generally parallel, extends the full length of the county, and in it are situated the Rawhide mines, in the northern portion. The phenomenally rich gold ore discovered here caused the Rawhide boom in the years 1906, 1907, and 1908. Rawhide is a steady producer, three quartz mills being in operation there and satisfactory returns being had. Further south, and all along the range on the eastern shore of Walker Lake, mining is being done with satisfactory results. In the next range to the east are the copper mines of Luning District and the mines surrounding Mina. Still further south are the mines of Candelaria, discovered in the early seventies, which have produced millions in silver, and are still producing. To the west of Candelaria is situated the Teels Borax marsh where F. M. Smith (the Borax King) made his start in borax production. This marsh has produced millions of dollars worth of borax. On the line of the Nevada & California Railway, in the northern part of the county, and near the head of Walker Lake, is the town of Schurz, the headquarters of the Indian Reservation officials. Walker Lake extends north and south a distance of 26 miles in length and averages four miles in width.
In the valley at the south end of the lake is situated the County Seat, Hawthorne, a veritable oasis in the desert. The soil is productive and is irrigated with water brought from the mountains to the west. Every
residence is surrounded by shade, fruit trees and gardens, while the rest of the valley is arid, the waters of the lake being slightly high in akali for irrigation purposes. Hawthorne was the county seat of Esmeralda County prior to 1907, when Goldfield was made the county seat. The forming of the new county again made Hawthorne the seat of government. The town was built in 1881 on the advent of the Carson & Colorado R. R., afterward the Nevada & California R. R., and was division headquarters of that road. To the east of Hawthorne, on the line of the R. R., is the town of Luning, the supply point for the copper-mines of that vicinity. Twelve miles south is the flourishing town of Mina, division point of the railroad, and where the machine-shops, round-house, etc., are situated. Surrounding Mina is a rich mineral country, and it is being vigorously developed. Three miles further south is Sodaville noted for its mineral soda springs. Sodaville, some four miles, the Narrow Gauge R. R. leaves the main line and runs southwesterly through the county and on through Mono and Inyo counties to Los Angeles, Cal. Since the creation of Mineral County it has been prosperous. The valuation of assessable property being over two and a quarter millions. Expenses are light. Every community has its public school well equipped and well taught. There are thirteen school districts in the county. All in all the youngest county in the State has a bright future.

A New Beginning
The photo at left is owned by Kate 'Kruizenga' Folkertsma. When she brought the photo for me to scan I was delighted. I thought... here is a photo of Jacob Derk's 3rd wife Jennie Wittink.
Unfortunately it is not. I had the photo analyzed by Maureen A. Taylor, a photography expert who has written a couple books on photo identification. She now serves as the photo detective for Family Tree Magazine.
The woman in this photo is in her late teens or early 20s. The photo dates from the 1880s. So the woman pictured would be born in the 1860s.
When the 1880 Census was taken, the only daughters living at home were Nettie (18) and Frances (14). Nettie was married in late 1859 and had three children of her own during the 1880s (M. Blanche, 1883; Carrie M., 1886; and Eleanor J., 1887). That seems to rule out Nettie.
As for Frances... the shoe fits.
Frances was born in May of 1866. That would put her in her late teens or early 20s depending on when the photo was taken.
Frances married Jacob Slooter, a wealthy businessman, on 20 Aug 1885. This picture may be a pre-marriage photo.
Frances' husband Jacob certainly had the means to pay for the photo to be taken.
Watch Greenwood Video.
- In 1877, Jacob's daughters Jessie and Carrie placed membership with the First Reformed Church in Grand Rapids. On a special note, years later we also see in attendance at the same Church, Teunis Mastbergen and his family. Teunis is the father of Pauline (Mastbergen) DeYoung (the mother of Betty Jane who married Gerrit).
- Second Reformed Church Registry. Carrie 'Kruizinga' confessed faith on April 1, 1876 (age 16). Jessie 'Kruisinga' confessed faith on Dec. 30, 1877 (age 19). Both were suspended on May 13, 1901. Suspension, I am told, can happen for various reasons: perhaps through lack of worship. An examination of church minutes reveals nothing that would harm the reputation of either girl. Jessie was re-instated in April of (illegible). Carrie never was.
- Jacob Derks Kruizenga and wife Jennie Wittink had one child together. On 23 April 1879, Derk Jacob Kruizenga was born.
age 46 - marries 3rd wife Jentje Wittink. 15 Nov 1876.
age 49 - has only living son Derk Jacobs Kruizenga. 23 Apr 1879.

President Obama called the U.S. Senate's rejection Wednesday of common-sense gun legislation "shameful."
The president was being much too kind.
What happened in the Senate was the type of disgraceful, disgusting — and yes, gutless — act that makes the American people wonder about the folks they have elected to office.

New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc.'s (EDU, $21.92, -$0.75, -3.31%) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings rose 73% as the education company reported increased enrollment and stronger margins. Still, the company projected current-quarter revenue and revenue for the just-started year below consensus estimates.
Biopharmaceutical firm Opexa Therapeutics Inc. (OPXA, $1.48, -$0.13, -8.07%) will be offering 9.3 million shares to raise money to repay debt and fund clinical development of a multiple-sclerosis treatment, a Phase II study and general corporate purposes.
Peabody Energy Corp.'s (BTU, $17.14, +$0.82, +5.02%) second-quarter profit shrank 56% as the coal company's revenue per ton slid in both its U.S. and Australia operations. But the company posted a surprise profit for the quarter, helped by a significant tax benefit. Also rising were shares of other coal companies, like Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR, $5.88, +$0.22, +3.89%) and Arch Coal Inc. (ACI, $4.20, +$0.18, +4.48%).
Penn National Gaming Inc. (PENN, $49.98, -$4.00, -7.41%) swung to a second-quarter loss amid softness in regional gaming trends, bad weather in the Midwest and competitive pressures. The company also cut its view for the year, pointing to trends in the first two quarters and a lack of visibility. Boyd Gaming Corp. (BYD, $11.22, -$0.53, -4.51%) and Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. (PNK, $19.36, -$1.19, -5.79%) were down, as well.
Polaris Industries Inc.'s (PII, $106.02, +$2.54, +2.45%) second-quarter earnings rose 15% as higher prices contributed to stronger-than-expected sales growth. The maker of all-terrain vehicles also raised its full-year earnings estimate.
Sanmina Corp. (SANM, $16.04, +$0.78, +5.11%), an integrated manufacturing-solutions company, reported third-quarter results that beat analyst expectations. The company also provided a fourth-quarter outlook generally in line with consensus expectations.
Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO, $25.56, -$0.16, -0.62%) has agreed to buy cybersecurity firm Sourcefire Inc. (FIRE, $75.49, +$16.41, +27.78%) for $2.7 billion, a move that will bolster the technology giant's security offerings. Under the terms of the agreement, Cisco will pay $76 a share in cash for each Sourcefire share, a 29% premium to Monday's close. The purchase price also includes retention-based incentives.
Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN, $38.93, +$1.51, +4.04%) showed improving signs in its businesses, though the company's long process of exiting the wireless chip business continues to hang over its income statement. The company on Monday reported that second-quarter profit rose 48%, largely due to a $315 million gain associated with transferring technology to an unnamed customer. Excluding that gain, however, net income still was slightly above analysts' expectations.
TD Ameritrade Holding Corp.'s (AMTD, $27.20, +$1.15, +4.41%) fiscal third-quarter net income climbed by nearly one-fifth from a year ago as the online brokerage posted its highest trading volume in nearly two years, helped by higher market volatility. Results topped Wall Street estimates.
Volterra Semiconductor Corp. (VLTR, $15.59, -$0.62, -3.82%) reported second-quarter revenue and earnings missed analyst estimates as the chip manufacturer said its notebook business declined as expected and the company experienced a one quarter inventory correction with a server customer.
Waters Corp.'s (WAT, $99.17, -$6.24, -5.92%) second-quarter earnings fell 8.6% as the laboratory-equipment maker's margins fell amid higher input costs. A "late-quarter unexpected slowdown in instrument system orders" isn't what investors were expecting from Waters, but that's what Chief Executive Douglas Berthiaume said happened late in the second quarter, prompting results to miss Wall Street estimates.
Wendy's Co. (WEN, $7.23, +$0.55, +8.23%) swung to a second-quarter profit as the fast-food chain's restaurant margins and same-store sales improved. The company also unveiled plans to sell about 425 company-operated restaurants to franchise operators in an effort to concentrate its ownership geographically and reduce total system ownership to 15% from 22%. In connection with the sales plan, the company's board approved a 25% increase in Wendy's quarterly dividend, to five cents a share from four cents.
Zions Bancorp's (ZION, $29.90, -$0.94, -3.05%) second-quarter profit fell 9.4% as the Utah-based regional bank saw expenses increase along with a rise in total loans.

on July 14, 2012 :
So you open the book, and what's on page 1? An execution! What a way to grab attention. The book is well paced, so your attention is always kept front and center. The fantasy world is neat with a mystery surrounding the peoples and their histories that is kept alive until the final pages.
In addition to the mystery, we're also provided with an age old favorite – the love triangle. Lianne is torn between the boy she's always been best friends with, Bryden, and the boy she's always had a crush on that's finally taken notice of her, Kellan. This has no bearing on the story, but I was personally team Bryden from the get-go, just sayin'. She struggles with this throughout the major conflict, and it gets her into further trouble.
Now, lately I've been getting pretty tired of love triangles, but this one is actually done in such a way that I only wanted to smack Lianne a couple times, so that's a plus! However, there were other times that I felt she was seriously niave, but then had to remind myself that at the age of 16, answers can be staring you in the face and you would still not see them…because teenagers are young, blind, and stupid. Just because the world is such that 16 is older than it would be in our world, doesn't mean that doesn't apply. Alas, regardless of age, I still felt invested in the outcomes for all the characters!

Sleepers by Megg Jensen is another fabulous book and a great start to her new series.I liked the character of Lianne just as much as the character of Reychel from The Cloud Prophet trilogy but for much different reasons.The character of Lianne was very spunky and full of fire.I was surprised that Kellan turned out the way he did but at the same time I was glad that Lianne still ended up with the person she loved.

DETROIT (Reuters) - Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey were on target for the United States on Tuesday as they made a confident start to their Gold Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over Canada.
After suffering a 4-0 defeat at home to Spain in a friendly on Saturday, U.S. coach Bob Bradley reverted to his tried and tested formula and it delivered the kind of solid display his team have become noted for.
German-born Jermaine Jones and Bradley's son Michael were impressive in the center of midfield while in attack Altidore, who continues to under-achieve at club level, delivered a much-needed reminder of his qualities.
Canada still have a chance to progress from Group C, which also features Panama and Guadeloupe, but were disappointing until the final stages when they finally tested U.S. keeper Tim Howard and his defense.
"We were predictable and moved the ball too slowly at times," said Canada head coach Stephen Hart.
"Too many players didn't want the responsibility of the ball but if we play like we did in the second half we will get results."
A crowd of 28,000 at the Detroit Lions' NFL stadium Ford Field saw the United States make a strong, determined start.
Altidore opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a smart shot on the turn that crept under the body of Canadian keeper Lars Hirschfeld, who will be disappointed he did not keep the ball out.
With Jones and Bradley taking charge, the United States were comfortably on top without creating many real chances.
The Americans extended their advantage in the 62nd minute when Altidore turned provider, bursting down the right flank and delivering a firm, low cross to the back post where Dempsey slid the ball in.
Canada finally came alive with substitute striker Ali Gerba twice bringing great saves out of U.S. keeper Howard, who had little to do in the opening 70 minutes.
Gerba broke free down right and struck a fierce shot which was expertly tipped over by Howard. Then the Everton keeper made a double save in the 85th -- first bravely at the feet of Joshua Simpson and then rising to parry another Gerba shot.
"I didn't think we did a good enough job of closing the game out, it is essential that improves," said coach Bradley.
The return to form of Altidore, who had not scored in a competitive international since September 2009 and managed just one strike all season with his Turkish club Bursaspor, was the biggest positive for Bradley.
"For confidence it was a good game for Jozy ... when you go through a stretch with your club team, not playing many games and not scoring goals, in terms of confidence this was very important."

Anyone who's an active pop culture consumer in 2013 knows that the things that are popular are not necessarily the same as the things that are the best. The two categories are related and often similar, but they're not the same, and they're both interesting for different reasons. We'll be exploring the year's best bags more thoroughly in January, but right now, we want to talk about The Biggest Bags of 2013.
Some of these designs (which are listed in no particular order) are new for this year and some have been around for a while, but they were all instrumental in shaping the way that consumers viewed accessories in the past calendar year. They're trend-setters, they're wait-list-makers, they're the bags that have driven thousands of women crazy until they got their hands on them. Here's to another year of bag lust.

Visit to Dreamworks Animation: 'Rise of the Guardians'
The talented folks behind the dazzling 3D film have a real passion for the movies
Walking into the DreamWorks Animation studios in Glendale, California, you almost feel as if you're entering one of the colorful films for which the studio is famous. The attractive buildings are laid out like a homey small town, everything seems freshly scrubbed, and the multitudes of employees wandering around seem unusually friendly. What accounts for such good cheer? Could it be the delicious free breakfasts and lunches the studio provides every day? The clever non-hierarchical way the buildings are set up so that people from all departments run into each other often and get to know each other's faces? Spending a day at DreamWorks with some other journalists to talk to the creative folks behind "Rise of the Guardians" was so much fun, I practically had to be forced off the premises by security!
DreamWorks Animation has released a total of 24 features to date. As of this month, the films (including the Shrek, Madagascar, and Kung Fu Panda franchises) have earned a combined total of $10 billion worldwide (yes, that's billion with a b!)—perhaps one reason why everyone at the studio seems to be in such a good mood? Next week, the studio will release its 25th feature—and one of its most ambitious. "Rise of the Guardians" is based on the work of author/illustrator William Joyce. It presents some very familiar figures—Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and Jack Frost—in an entirely new and unexpected light.
The film is directed by Peter Ramsey with a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. In the story, Jack Frost (Chris Pine) is a carefree boy who has no responsibilities in the world. But this changes when the evil Pitch (Jude Law), begins his plan to engulf the world in darkness. The Guardians, North/Santa Claus (Alec Baldwin), the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), and the Sandman try to convince Jack to join their group to stop Pitch and to save the children of the world.
Bing: DreamWorks Animation | "Rise of the Guardians"
Before heading to a screening of the stunningly beautiful film, we wandered from building to building talking to members of the team who have been working on it for the past four years. First up was director Peter Ramsey and producer Christina Steinberg who explained the genesis of the project. "Bill Joyce first met with us here at the end of 2007," Steinberg explained. "He came with this incredible bible of drawings that he'd been working on over the last 20 years based on these characters. He had very detailed mythologies about all of them which were inspired by his daughter who, when she was five, came to him and asked 'Do Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny know each other?' Bill said, 'Yes, of course they do!' and started inventing these beautiful stories for her about how they all worked together."
Joyce then began working on the Guardians of Childhood books, essentially providing all of the origin stories for these characters. The decision was made right at the beginning that the books and movie, while featuring the same characters, would not overlap—the events in "Rise of the Guardians" take place hundreds of years after the events depicted in the book series.
Director Peter Ramsey started his career as a storyboard artist for live action films, from "Independence Day" and "Men in Black" to "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Cast Away." When he came to DreamWorks he worked on the Shrek films and then jumped at the chance to get involved with this film. But first Ramsey had to let go of a few reservations. "When I heard the idea that there was this new take on these childhood icons, it sounded like something that could be super cheesy," Ramsey told us. "But then I started thinking about it. I looked at what Bill had done and the simplicity of his idea which was basically to take one step to the left and see these characters from a slightly different angle. Suddenly all these things started leaping out—the potency that their images have in the world, why they've lasted for so long. It got me thinking about the mythology and the things that each character represents such as hope, wonder, memory, and dreams. Those ideas started to get me really excited."
Ramsey and Steinberg said that working with David Lindsay-Abaire, they talked about how to make each of these familiar characters into a kind of superhero. They spent a long time watching other movies that had the kind of feel they were looking for. Movies such as "The Wizard of Oz" and "E.T." as well as the Harry Potter and Star Wars series. "These were movies that were fast-moving and had a lot of scope and scale," Ramsey said, "but that had the ideas under the hood that could drive an emotional story."
We then got a chance to talk to master storyteller Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labrynth," "The Hobbit") who is the executive producer of "Rise of the Guardians" and was involved in all aspects of production. Del Toro said he was instantly captivated by the story, that his two daughters were huge fans of Joyce's books, and that he felt strongly that this was going to be a beautiful, powerful movie. Still, he had some of his own ideas and locked himself up with Ramsey and others to try to nail down the specifics of the story. "We had several really long breakfasts—one of which lasted more than ten hours! But I was really impressed by the clarity of vision Peter had."
Gradually, the nuances of the tale emerged. "We shaped the story to show two opposites," del Toro explained, "but also two characters who were very similar. In the great origin stories, be it myth or superhero, the villain and the hero are born essentially at the same time, and share the same characteristics. If the circumstances were not what they are, they could be friends. That was one of the things that was important to show, that Jack Frost and Pitch ultimately are both disenfranchised and alone—they feel marginalized but the way they articulate it and the way they choose to go at it is completely different."
Del Toro explained how they developed each character, based on Joyce's original vision. "North (the Santa Claus character), for example, is undomesticated," he said. "He's not the jolly, soft, rosy-cheeked 'Saturday Evening Post' safe Santa. This is a guy that has obviously been in a couple of brawls; this is a guy who has seen a couple of tattoo sessions; a guy that can grab a scimitar and sword and get into it—he has the energy of a Cossack! Being that the roots of North are not what the American myth is, we wanted to infuse him with the spirit of a hunter, and the spirit of a man of the wilderness."
Del Toro explained that they didn't want anything in this story to seem like a parody of these iconic figures. "All of the characters really love what they do, but they have forgotten a little piece of why they do it. But they are not the post-modern, cynical, 'let me show you how boring it is to be Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny and how they want to do something else'—they really have a wide-eyed joy at being who they are."
As the team continued to build the vision for this film, del Toro's role was clear. "Every time I was involved in anything, be it critiquing or giving an opinion of design or story or a certain sequence, my only duty was to be completely brutal, completely honest, and as creative as I could be."
We met production designer Patrick Hanenberger and producer Nancy Bernstein who talked to us about how they worked on the initial art concepts for the characters. "Our great challenge in this movie," Bernstein said, "was that every character is just extraordinary and what they stand for is extraordinary! They could easily each have their own movie! Patrick's challenge was to find a way to reign in these designs as well as let the movie breathe and fly—allow it to be magical but find a common language so that all of these characters, all these various environments, and all of the outer characters lived in the same movie."
Hanenberger showed us the original concept sketches for the characters. They had to find a way to depict six unique characters and six unique worlds plus the human world. It was a daunting task that required a lot of cooperation from every department at DreamWorks—over 450 people ended up working on the film! Patrick also worked closely with author Bill Joyce on the early designs. He explained that they ultimately developed a unique color and shape identity for each character. North was a big red square, Sandman was a golden round circle, and so on. This color and shape identity was used in various ways throughout the film.
Gabe Hordos, the head of character animation, took us through his team's process of character development. "We started brainstorming these characters as if they were actors," Hordos said, "instead of characters in an animated movie. How can we make these characters original? How can we make them somehow something you've never seen before even though you've seen hundreds of versions of each of them?"
Hordos then showed us some fascinating early animated tests of the character of Jack Frost. He focused on the fact that Jack was about 300 years old—and how that would affect his abilities. At first he'd be very excited about it, maybe the next year he's start getting a little bored, and by the third year perhaps a bit angry. After another 297 years he'd probably be okay with everything, really skilled, but not trying too hard. So in the tests they tried having Jack doing these incredible moves he's capable of, but with his hands in his pockets, a little blasé after doing these things for so long.
As they worked on the other characters, some of the voices were cast and some were not, but they hadn't started recording. Hordos showed us animation tests where they grabbed lines from other films that they thought had the right feel for their purposes. Seeing Santa Claus spouting some of the lines from the Guy Ritchie's gritty crime movie "Snatch" was so hilarious I wish it could be included in the DVD extras—but let's just say the language was not something usually associated with a film by DreamWorks Animation!
Finally, visual effects supervisor Dave Prescott and head of effects Yancy Lindquist showed us how they developed some of the film's sensational 3D effects. They broke new ground in the depiction of authentic-looking skin on CG characters and Prescott explained how they created the Sandman's glittering sand that stretched the envelope of what has been possible in animation.
After watching more impressive tests, we walked across the street to the studio theater and donned our 3D glasses to watch the gorgeous production. The film made me laugh, it made me cry (I admit it!), and while I've never been a huge 3D fan, made me feel like I was really part of the action. A snowstorm at the end of the story seemed so real I couldn't believe it when I found myself trying to catch snowflakes in my hand! What am I, ten? Well, to be honest, I did feel like a kid again!
"Rise of the Guardians" opens everywhere on November 21, 2012.

Last note on Lakers for now: Tom Penn, NBA cap guru, said on my radio show that as constituted, they could face a
luxury tax hit of as much as $85 million next season. Even with that humonguous TV deal, it's hard to imagine them paying that on top of the $90-some million due for player payroll. One option, I'm told, is to amnesty Pau Gasol and the $19 million he has coming next season. It sounds crazy, but if they can't deal Gasol -- and he still would appear to be the most tradeable commodity -- for draft picks or anything that brings a lot less than $19 million in salaries back, they're on the hook for 1 1/2 times his salary and more thanks to the repeater tax. I have to check back with Penn, but I would think if taking Gasol's money off the cap and making another small move gets them under the luxury tax, the $85 million goes away. So maybe you can look at it as a move that gives away Gasol for nothing. Or, just possibly, you can look at it as keeping $85 million in the Lakers' pocket.

Why Young People Join Gangs
Street gangs in Los Angeles are described as a group of individuals who may or may not claim control over a certain territory in the community and engage, either individually or collectively, in violent or other forms of illegal behavior. However, one of the simplest and most functional definitions is that a gang is a group of people who form an allegiance for a common purpose and engage in violent, unlawful, or criminal activity. Although few gangs have a form of leadership, most do not have a formal organization and have as a leader, the strongest or most active member. The gang has a name, claims a particular territory or neighborhood and directs its criminal activity towards rival gangs and the general population in the form of robberies, assaults and narcotics sales.
Gang members in Los Angeles do not fit the movie image in which they are portrayed fulfilling specific roles in the gang such as president or enforcer and wearing gang jackets similar to those worn by many car clubs having rigid structures. Rather, leadership roles in street gangs are normally not formally recognized positions. They are usually assumed by a member who demonstrates or asserts dominant control at a particular incident or for a limited time thereafter. With smaller gangs, however, it is more likely that a single individual will become a recognized leader.
Gang Names
Many gangs adopt names that have significance when related to their neighborhoods (street names, hills, valleys, housing projects, and occasionally regional names). Some gangs are generally further divided into cliques. A clique will usually have its own name. Once in a particular clique, the member will remain in that clique throughout his gang career. The clique may change or alter its name as it matures but the same individuals tend to remain in close association with one another.
Most gang members adopt nicknames when recruited into the group if they do not already have one. The gang tends to select a name that fits the individual's physical or psychological characteristics. A gang member called "Slice," for example, may get his name from his skill in handling a knife.
