So I used part of a pattern that was for a halloween costume for the corset part. And I used remnant scraps from some curtains I shortened for a friend.
This is the curtain material. A nice burgundy. And I did a lining in silver lining material.

Q. When did The Black Angels starts, tell us about the history...
Alex and I grew up together in Seabrook, TX. We met back up in Austin in 2002 and The Black Angels eventually started in May 2004 when Stephanie joined the band.
Q: Who are your influences?
buddy holly, bo diddley, the everly brothers, syd barrett, brian jones, john lennon, brian wilson, wes wilson, lewis carroll, stanley kubrick, the fab five.
Q. Made a list of 5 albuns of all time…
1. The Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
2. Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy
3. The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band
4. Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators
5. The Velvet Underground & Nico
Q. How do you fell playing alive?
out of body
Q. How do you describe The Black Angels sounds?
it used to be hypno-drone n roll, but now it's progressed to psychedelic rock n roll
Q: Tell us about the process of recording Indigo Meadow?
We started working on the album in Austin in January 2012 and wrote 30 songs thru June. In August we went to Tornillo, TX to record at Sonic Ranch. We recorded 16 songs, 13 of which ended up on the album. The process was different than Phosphene Dream which was recorded in LA at Sunset Sound. I think the environment and what's happening in our lives makes its way onto the album and influences the way it sounds. We worked with John Congleton on this album and his approach was different than Dave Sardy. Both producers were great to work with. It's like painting with watercolors on one album and using oils on the next.....same task, just different mediums.
Q. Which new bands do you recommended?
white fence, the growlers, psychic ills, clinic, ty segall, pure x, the night beats, cosmonauts, holy wave
Q: What´s the plans for future....
once the new album comes out April 2, we'll be touring the world the rest of 2013 into 2014.
Q: Any parting words?
be prepared to rethink your preconceived notions about everything.....and
and go to AustinPsychFest.com!*
Thanks Christian.....

Andreas von Bechtolsheim is one of the earliest investors of Google and co-founder of Sun Microsystems. Today we had the pleasure of him delivering a speech live from Palo Alto via Skype and talking about "The Silicon Valley Perspective".
He explained why it is easier for startups to become successful in the US and especially the Silicon Valley rather than Europe. Some of his main points included the incredible growth and success story of the "big 5" Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. He mentioned some lessons for young startups on how to beat the existing big players:
- you don't have to be the first one
- you just have to recognize the existing problems and solve them
- you have to be first to solve those problems
- you need high growth in short time
"A hint I can give all German startups is to establish a link to the US"
At the end of his speech he compared VC funding in the US and Europe/Germany and advised all young founders to establish a connection to the US, because this could be key for the success of the company. Not only does the US offer multiple times the venture capital amount available in Europe, but it offers one single market which can result in a higher growth rate. These two aspect might be very important in the early stage of an startup and can make a big the difference.

Treasure Chests are found in dungeons. They are also occasionally released from a Magic Portal, or by a monster that is defeated. With the exception of the Gott Statue treasure, treasure chests all contain a single item, usually a scroll or a piece of equipment.
A second variety, the Risky Treasure, is blue instead of the usual beige. Instead of receiving an item, opening a Risky Treasure causes a status effect to strike the character who opens it. On a positive note, this also yields a free Fortune Wire. The possible effects are:
- The Death (reduced to critical HP)
- Critical (critical damage from an explosion)
- Poison Gas
- Paralyzing Gas
- Sleep Gas
- Curse
- Level down to 1 (Legend of the Twilight anime only)
Using a Fortune Wire on a Risky Treasure will transform it into an ordinary Treasure Chest, sometimes containing a more valuable item than usual.

Ventilation Non Invasive Et Insuffisance Respiratoire Chronique d'origine Neuromusculaire: Implications Pour l'intensiviste. Aspects Ethiques

Bibliographic Citation
Revue médicale suisse 2010 Dec 15; 6(275): 2390-5
Non-invasive mechanical ventilation in patients with chronic neuromuscular disorders is an effective tool for treating dyspnea or sleep disturbances often observed in such patients. So, NIV has to be considered as a palliative treatment and it must systematically be offered to these patients. Mechanical ventilation, non-invasive or invasive (via a trachesotomy) have to be considered systematically with patients and families at an earlier stages of these diseases in order to design a strategy in case of acute respiratory failure. In a second parent paper of this issue, we discuss the medico-legal implications of mechanical ventilation in neuromuscular failure, particularly the end-of-life aspects.

Man, these people are just crazy. It's like looking back into the 9th century.
Oops! His bad.
The secular ideology of this Shia cleric is that the Hidden Imam is the only one who has the legitimate competence to rule and pass judgment based on Islam, not the Supreme Leader and other self pro-claimed Marjas (Council of Guardian) who have the ultimate power in Iran, one after the other above the mostly symbolic president and parliament.Prediction: he will be granted a last minute reprieve and be allowed to quietly retire to a villa in Qom where he will live out his days in relatively comfortable house arrest. The Mullahs do not want yet another Martyr.
Not enough! I want him dis-barred permanently!
OOPs - I thought I clicked on the Mike Nifong thread. Oh well, death is not enough for this Ayatollah. I want him permanently dis-barred too!
What a bunch of fu.... up people.
The guy's 'heresy' of nonjudgmentalism and leaving the choices to God sounds a lot like normal people's Christianity and Buddhism and Judaism and Hinduism.
Pray for the guy, he's hearing God.
Don't worry, he'll get his virgins.
Twelfth Imam bump
But doesn't the Iranian Pres Ahmadinejad also believe in this Hidden Imam cult? He spoke about him in variuos speaches. Why isn't he in being tortured?

Yandex Earnings Q2 2014 - Big Upside Potential!
- Yandex delievered another quarter of strong revenue growth.
- Yandex valuations are much cheaper than those of its peers.
- Yandex is an attractive option for long term investors.
Russia's search giant Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX) reported its earnings for Q2 2014 on 29 July. The company beat analyst estimates of revenue, to deliver a strong Q2. However, Yandex stock price is still down by over 27% since the beginning of 2014 (Year To Date or YTD). Yandex valuations have been disconnected from its fundamentals since geo political tensions surrounding Russia escalated in the early part of the year. The listing of Yandex's stock on the Moscow Exchange (stock exchange) should support valuations, as the company's shares now also trade in its home market.
Yandex Q2 2014 Actuals vs Estimates
Yandex beat revenue estimates only marginally in Q2. The takeaway though, was that Yandex had emerged strongly from what was billed as a testing phase for the company. After sanctions from the US and European Union (EU) and tensions that have followed, investors feared that near term spends on advertising would nosedive in the region, putting pressure Yandex's biggest source of revenue. Given that background, Yandex's Q2 numbers were a reassurance of its financial health.
Beat %
Revenue (RUR billions)
Revenue (USD millions)
Note: The currency conversion rate of 33.63 RUR = 1 USD has been taken from the company's earnings report and used throughout.
Yandex Revenue Growth
Yandex revenue grew by 32% on a YoY (over Q2 2013) basis. After adjusting previous quarters for revenue contributions from Yandex.Money (majority stake sold by Yandex), revenue growth stood at 35%.
Yandex continued to earn bulk of its revenue from text-based advertising (93%). Revenue from its ad-network continued to grow at a faster pace, driven by Yandex powered paid search on Mail.ru (domestic search competitor). Revenue from display advertising declined YoY and accounted for 6% of total revenue in Q2.
Yandex showed improvements in all metrics that impact its revenue growth. In Q2, the search major accounted for 61.6% of search market share in Russia, marking a marginal decline from 61.9% in Q1 2014. Q2 marked the first uptick in Cost Per Click (CPC) in 4 quarters.
Yandex Profitability & Cash Flows
Yandex registered operating and net profits of $108 million and $71.2 million respectively, translating to margins of 29.9% and 19.7%. The company's net profit margins declined in Q2 largely due to foreign exchange losses. The company's net interest income also reduced due to the convertible debt it raised in the early part of the year.
Traffic Acquisitions Costs (TAC) declined to 22% of revenue from 24% in Q1.
Yandex's adjusted net income margin (without forex losses) stood at 27.3%, translating to decent profit margins in spite of the decline. Yandex generated an operating cash flow of RUR 4 billion ($119.6 million) to end the quarter with cash and equivalents of RUR 47.3 billion ($1.4 billion).
Yandex Revenue Guidance & Q3 2014 Analyst Estimates
Analysts estimate Yandex to deliver a revenue of RUR 12.73 billion ($378 million).
Yandex reiterated its full year revenue growth guidance of 25-30% growth over FY 2013 (adjusted to exclude Yandex.Money), implying a revenue guidance of RUR 48.8 - 50.8 billion (USD 1.45 - 1.5 billion).
In Q2, Yandex acquired Auto.ru, a popular online automobile classified listing business in Russia, for $175 million. Yandex already has a portal which aggregates car classified listings across several sites. The acquisition is a step further in the segment and will allow Yandex to earn listing revenue in addition to revenue from ads served.
After its acquisition of location based services business KitLocate earlier this year, Yandex extended its push in the segment, as it launched its local business listings app Yandex.City.
Yandex Valuation
Yandex currently trades at a stock price of $30.5 a share. Yandex's PE ratio of 24 and Price to Sales ratio of 7.25 represent valuations that are much cheaper than those of its peers.
PE Ratio
PS Ratio
Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) is the fastest growing and most profitable of the three companies, and Yandex grows faster and has higher profit margins than Google (NASDAQ:GOOG). So, one could value Yandex using the average valuations of its two peers.
Based on the average PE ratio of Google and Baidu, Yandex's valuation reflects a steep upside with a target price of $43 a share, close to its trading price prior to the Ukraine crisis.
Based on the average PS ratio of Google and Baidu, Yandex's valuations still reflect a huge (though smaller) upside of 25% with a target price of $38 a share.
With Yandex's listing in Moscow, the company's stock price and thereby its valuations should find greater support. U.S investors who invest in Yandex (based in Russia, though listed in Netherlands) and domestic investors in Russia who invest in Yandex are both exposed to different risks. For instance, a Russian investor might not be as perturbed about asset revaluation losses arising out of USD depreciation vs the Ruble. Further, a more diversified shareholder base, is definitely a positive.
In the near term, the stock might continue to be vulnerable to Russia linked political and macro-economic risks. However, at its current valuations, Yandex is an attractive investment option for long term investors. Our Yandex stock analysis assigns it with a buy rating at its current stock price of $30.5 a share.

A bright and ongoing success story in the Pagan community has been the utilization of crowd-funding sites like IndieGoGo and Kickstarter to collectively raise funds for important projects.

Peter Dybing helped raise $30,000 dollars for Doctors Without Borders in the wake of the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami.

Pagan Community Notes: New Alexandrian Library's Foundation, A Circle Minister's Protest, A Sierra Club Interview, and More!
Pagan Community Notes is a series focused on news originating from within the Pagan community. Reinforcing the idea that what happens to and within our organizations, groups, and events is news, and news-worthy. My hope is that more individuals, especially those working within Pagan organizations, get into the habit of sharing their news with the world.

text: MWC 2012 Preview: E-Blink collaborates with Alcatel-Lucent to boost market adoption of the wireless remote radio head23 Feb 2012 01:05 PM E-Blink's core product line, EB1, eliminates the need for coaxial cables or short-range fibre optics on base stations, reducing deployment costs by up to 30%E-Blink has announced a strategic collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent to offer its wireless remote radio head (RRH) technology, which eliminates the need for coaxial cables or short-range fibre optics on base stations. Alcatel-Lucent will position the E-Blink Wireless RRH portfolio to mobile telecoms operator customers throughout the world.Designed for 2G, 3G and 4G operating frequencies, the E-Blink wireless technology shortens the time required for site acquisition, site design and civil works. This not only reduces construction costs, but increases site owners' approval for the site construction.It also enables better integration of equipment into base station surroundings, and opens up a much wider selection of potential sites than base stations tied to coaxial cables or fibre optics. E-Blink's products are currently installed on mobile networks in Europe, Africa and in middle-East.'E-Blink's wireless RRH solution helps us solve the connection problems some operators have from the top of the tower down to the wireless base station. Now our customers can deploy and/or extend their network faster by simplifying site acquisition process,' said Alain Biston, Head of MGR Product Management of Alcatel-Lucent's Wireless Division.'The collaboration between Alcatel-Lucent and E-Blink is a stepping stone for E-Blink. This agreement is a great opportunity for E-Blink to expand at the international level and have the wireless RRH technology adopted by mobile operators around the world,' commented Alain Rolland, E-Blink CEO.The E-Blink patented Wireless RRH technology consists of a wireless link that connects the antenna to any base station supporting 2G, 3G and LTE.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: head casket on 2003 Lincoln Navigator
We were driving to Arkansas from Dallas this past Sunday. After a brief stop to get a drink (left engine running) we were pulling out and there was this loud noise like maybe a belt had broken and was hitting something. We couldn't find anything. No oil leaks, etc. We continued and the catalytic converter light kept flashing on and then going off. We lost some power, but the motor only sounded bad when slowing down, or extreme pull like on hills. We watched for overheating, oil leaks, etc. but nothing. We were able to get the car home. We were told by the Lincoln dealer that it was a head and the cost would be around $5,000. What is your opinion about repair and price.
Did the shop say what was wrong with the head? Are they recommending replacing 1 head or both?
In contacting the dealership, I have found the following information. I need the drivers side cylinder head, replace ignition coils #7 and #4 and replace the spark plugs.
hope you didn't spend $5000
Didn't find what you were looking for?

You wouldn't necessarily think that someone born in Arcadia might have such an amazing Technicolor dreamcoat of a life notwithstanding Sho Kosugi, who just lives there but Dennis Cooper has had more lives than almost any modern artist short of Marcel Duchamp or John Giorno, and he just keeps on finding new ways to live. His latest creative endeavor, the short story collection "Ugly Man" (Harper Perennial), with titles like "One Night in 1979 I Did Too Much Coke and Couldn't Sleep and Had What I Thought Was a Million-Dollar Idea to Write the Definitive Tell-All Book About Glam Rock Based on My Own Personal Experience but This Is as Far as I Got," balance ultraviolence with cutting humor honed for over 30 years both here (Beyond Baroque) and abroad (Amsterdam). Cooper's writing in Ugly Man is like a highly literate game of hot-hands you never know when he's going to hit you next, but by the time it's all over you feel that distinctive stinging sensation. He's also been doing considerable work lately in the field of sound readings from Ugly Man have been released on the British label Dotdotdot on a CD-R of the same name, sliced and diced and slap-chopped up by Dotdotdot label head Paul Hegarty and his avant group Safe. Meanwhile, ultra-desirable boutique label Editions Mego has released Peter Rehberg's "Work for GV 2004-2008," which collects scores for Cooper's and French artist Gisèle Vienne's works for theater "I Apologize" and "Jerk," one of the short stories in Ugly Man that's currently touring Europe as a stage play. Try asking him about this aspect of his endless creativity when he signs your book it's a better icebreaker than telling him how "dangerous" and "disquieting" he is all the time.

Just got back from 5 nights at VH with my wife and two kids (5, 6). VH is perfect for families who want a private, fully-equipped house to live in, want a fun place for the family to play and hang out, want to be close to nature, but don't need all the frills (room service, bar, restaurant, fitness center, mainly) of a full-service hotel. The villas (there are 3 two-bedroom villas and 1 one-bedroom) are beautiful. Very modern with all the conveniences you need (except washer/dryer, but you can have laundry done for a small fee). They are large enough that a family of 6 could easily stay there.
The atmosphere is very relaxed, low-key, family-oriented. It starts with breakfast in the Rancho, where Brad, Tara, and their kids will usually join the other guests. A great time to plan your day, ask Brad and Tara questions, meet other guests, etc.
The pool is perfect for kids to play in. It's not huge, so don't plan to swim laps, but very nice, clean, refreshing. You can float in the pool and watch the monkeys and iguanas playing overhead.
The beach is about 100 yards away, and depending on what you want to do on the beach, you might have to walk 100 to 200 yards down the beach (for example, if you want to swim at high tide, you need to walk away from where the rocks are). The beach is beautiful, water warm, exactly what you'd expect.
What makes VH unique is Brad and Tara's involvement with their guests. It feels much more like a bed & breakfast than a hotel. Whatever you need, Brad and Tara will help you get it. The hotel doesn't have a spa, but if you want a massage, they will arrange for someone to come in for you. If you need surf lessons, they will arrange it. You get the idea. The night we arrived, it was pouring rain and my kids could not handle going back out for dinner. The restaurants wouldn't deliver in the rain, so Brad went out and picked up our food for us. Pretty amazing. Another day, we wanted to go horseback riding, but couldn't raise the place on the phone to book, so Brad drove over there (30 minutes) to find out if they had availability that afternoon. Brad and Tara go above and beyond.
If you are looking for a "resort", where you get waited on, can order room service, etc., then this probably isn't the place for you. But there is daily maid service, fresh towels, etc., so it's a lot better than renting a house where you have to keep it clean all week. There is no restaurant, so you are on your own for lunch and dinner. For us, that was great, because we wanted to try restaurants in the area, and we stocked our kitchen with snacks for the kids. The grocery store is about 5 minutes away. That said, there probably isn't a place for you anywhere in the Santa Teresa/Mal Pais area, so VH is the next best option.
The grounds are beautiful. Monkeys, iguanas, and other wildlife abound. We were very happy spending chunks of days just lounging by the pool. Most of the time, you will feel like you have the whole place to yourself.
You need your own set of wheels to properly experience this part of CR. That means either renting a car or a four-wheeler. The latter option would be ideal for adults, but not for kids. The roads in this part of CR can be challenging, but it made it all the more fun for us.
My family would go back in a minute.
For more information about this hotel or the area (or about The Springs hotel near Arenal), feel free to contact me.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The distinctive beachfront hotel, Villas Hermosas, is located in Playa Hermosa of Mal Pais on the Pacific Ocean in Costa Rica. Please come and share with them their playful surf, thriving jungle, empty beaches, tropical gardens, and inviting swimming pool, while enjoying all the comforts of home! With only four villas, they offer a uniquely intimate experience. ... more less

- Villas Hermosas Hotel Santa Teresa

Donors' love of the stars shines on at Griffith Observatory
The late Samuel Oschin loved adventure travel.
Some of his best-known and most exotic expeditions included retracing Robert Peary's voyage to the North Pole, paddling up the Amazon in a dugout canoe and crossing the Alps atop an elephant (à la Hannibal).
Less well known is the central role his romance with the night sky played in his adventures.
"He navigated by the stars when he traveled to these remote places," his widow, Lynda Oschin said. "That experience was as important to him as the trips themselves."
Through the generosity of the Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Oschin Family Foundation, visitors to the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at the newly renovated Griffith Observatory will also have a chance to orient themselves in the universe.
The Griffith Observatory's reopening on Nov. 3 after a five-year, $93 million renovation showcased the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, which joins the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon theatre, contributed by Leonard Nimoy and Susan Bay-Nimoy, as well as the Richard and Lois Gunther Depths of Space Exhibit as expanded offerings from Jewish philanthropic families.
This gift of cosmic knowledge from the Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Oschin Family Foundation is one of the fruits of a successful business career with very earthly roots.
"My husband started off selling shoelaces and potato chips when he was a kid in Detroit," Lynda Oschin said.
That early entrepreneurial spirit eventually led Samuel Oschin into building, banking, investment and commercial real estate. It also allowed him in his later years to make several significant contributions to astronomy, his "second love."
"One year he took me to the desert near Lake Mead so we could watch the Perseid Meteor Shower in dry air with no light pollution," Lynda Oschin said. "Even before we saw the first meteor streak across the sky, I was dazzled just looking up at the night sky under those perfect conditions.
When my husband told me there were more stars in the sky than there were grains of sand on the earth, I really understood how deep this passion for astronomy was in him."
In addition to the planetarium at Griffith Observatory, the telescope at Mount Palomar Observatory — which Cal Tech astronomer Michael Brown has recently used to discover new worlds in the dim reaches of the solar system beyond Pluto — also bears Oschin's name.
A childhood visit to another major telescope in Southern California inspired the imagination of Richard Gunther, a venture capitalist, securities investor and philanthropist who funded another key element of the Griffith Observatory renovation, the Richard and Lois Gunther Depths of Space Exhibit.
"When I was 12, I went to the Mount Wilson Observatory, which was then the largest telescope open for public viewing," Gunther said. "I was stunned to look through the telescope and see that the Orion Nebula, which to the naked eye looks just like a single star in the constellation Orion, is really a huge, dense cloud of gas where hundreds of stars are being born."
His lifelong fascination with astronomy and that early lesson in the trickiness of perspective in astronomical observation inspired Gunther to become involved in the renovation of Griffith Observatory — on one condition.
"I wanted to serve on the Depths of Space Committee," he said.
For more than two years, Gunther worked with astronomers and astrophysicists from UCLA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop an exhibit that would convey the vast distances between objects in space — and the dramatic shifts in scale between huge objects like the Orion Nebula and relatively tiny objects like asteroids — in a way that would be both comprehensible and engaging to millions of visitors.
"My task was to keep the excitement for kid viewers," Gunther said.
The result of Gunther's enthusiasm and the work of the other committee members is a dazzling exhibit that illustrates the relationship between the earth and its neighbors both near and far — the moon, the sun, other planets in the solar system, the stars in the Milky Way and objects beyond our home galaxy.
"It's a marvelous educational tool," Gunther said. "I hope it will turn thousands of kids on to astronomy."
Gunther has had good luck transmitting his love of space science to the kids in his own family. He said all of his children are sci-fi fans, and he was thrilled when his grandson asked to go to a space shuttle launch.
"My son went to Prince Edward Island to watch a total solar eclipse a few years ago," Gunther said. "He was awed as all the birds grew quiet and the shadow of the moon swept toward him across the Atlantic."
In his grandson's sense of awe Gunther sees a hint of what he calls the "healing quality" of astronomy.
"Ten years from now, with the next generation of space telescopes, they'll have found 100,000 planets beyond our solar system," he said.
"That's not just a curiosity. Painting a much bigger picture of the universe can change the way people view one another. I believe astronomy can help us develop a broader vision of what it means to be alive."

Matt Rothschild, editor of The Progressive, states that 2011 was a year in which "history came alive; when people were no longer the objects of history, but its agents." He cites the Arab Spring, which threw out dictators Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Qaddafi; the protests in Wisconsin over Gov. Scott Walker's (may he soon be thrown out of office) union-busting bill, the Occupy Wall Street movement, which engaged in civil disobedience against rising income inequality and political corruption; and the mass protests in Russia against electoral fraud under Vladimir Putin in Russia. May the rebellions against economic and political injustice continue in 2012. Listen:

Congressman John Larson (CT-01) joined United Technologies employees, East Hartford Students and Coca-Cola executives in unveiling two new PureCell System Model 400 fuel cells at the soft drink provider's East Hartford facility Friday morning.
The new fuel cells will generate enough energy to meet nearly 100 percent of the electrical and 50 percent of the heating power demand at the bottling facility. Using hydrogen to power the fuel cells will reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and the facility's overall energy use by 30 percent. By generating this power onsite, Coca-Cola will be helping to lessen the burden on our power grid.
"These UTC fuel cells have the potential to become a real game-changer in the way businesses power and heat their facilities," Congressman Larson said. "This is a great investment by Coca-Cola. They're now poised to see real energy savings while doing their part to reduce the burden on our power grid and help fight global warming. United Technologies should be commended as well for realizing the potential of fuel cells and continuing to produce them here in Connecticut."
A recent report by the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) indicates that Connecticut's Hydrogen Fuel Cell industry has grown by 28 percent since 2006.
"UTC Power is extremely pleased that Congressman Larson could join us today as we celebrate the installation of two of our 400 kilowatt stationary fuel cells here at the Coca-Cola Refreshments bottling facility in his hometown of East Hartford," said Mike Brown, vice president of government affairs and general counsel for UTC Power. "We want to sincerely thank Congressman Larson for his commitment to the commercialization and deployment of fuel cells. Connecticut and the state's fuel cell industry are fortunate to have a leader like Congressman Larson who truly believes fuel cells can help lead the way to energy independence."
The two fuel cells were wrapped in artwork created by East Hartford High School Junior Julia Steele, who won a contest sponsored by Coca-Cola.
