Every year I get together with some friends and we walk and we talk and we talk and we walk….and sometimes we just walk because there is a big hill and talking is just not an option. We pick a new city each year to do this: San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco, Philly, DC, Boston, Minneapolis, Atlanta and this year is MICHIGAN!
We see a bit of the sites, we catch up on each other's lives, we walk 60 miles in 3 days, we lance a few blisters and we feel the accomplishment that we are getting that much closer to a cure for breast cancer.
I have never really liked just asking for donations. I would much rather give you something in return. Hence we are celebrating our 11 year anniversary of SNAPSHOTS!
Thank you for supporting me and my quest to eradicate breast cancer.
Snapshots is a collection of one-act plays started in 2004 to raise money for Breast Cancer Research. This annual benefit will run for 6 nights (July 24-26 & July 31-Aug 2 2015) at the Stella Adler Theater in Hollywood, CA.
The Cause
Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure® and the 3-Day for the Cure, the organization has invested more than $1.9 billion to fulfill its promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
Thank you so very much for your support. Your presence at our benefit contributes to the effort to find a cure for a disease that affects so many.
Can't attend the show, but would like to make a donation? Please click here to donate to the cause.

I am not trying to sound like a broken record, but it's the most important part that gets overlook the most often. The continuous planning is the first task to be neglected when we are feeling pressure either from schedule challenges or overrunning budgets. We feel the need to "jump in and help" or we just get caught up in moving from one fire to the next.
The first step always is to create the plan - schedule, manpower, materials, logistics. That part takes some serious effort, but if you slack off on your planning you will pay the price later. After you plan the work it's time to execute and maintain the plan. The continuous planning and plan maintenance are often not given the attention needed. We all know that in construction with so many moving parts and prerequisite work that needs to be completed before the next trade can start, we need to be flexible. This means we need contingency in our planning, nothing will ever go exactly as planned we need to be ready for a breakdown in the plan and react to it accordingly. You should always be adjusting the plan, don't let the hard work of creating the plan go to waste when a hiccup occurs.

How to Get Rid of Bats in Your Attic
There is nothing creepier than opening a dark and dusty room and bats flying out in droves. It's enough to give one a heart attack and get them falling on their knees in despair. As if that's not enough, they fly away in all kinds of directions. This leaves you clueless on the right kind of action to take. Luckily for us, we don't have to suffer in silence anymore. This comprehensive guide is suitable for anyone looking for the right information on how to get rid of bats in your attic without necessarily incurring a lot of money in hiring professional companies for removal. Gone are those days when we used to tactfully and carefully enter our basements with brooms in our hands. We can now afford to get rid of bats without the services of professionals. They can be such a pain especially when there is no way to get rid of them. In fact, with their incessant flapping of wings and spooky sounds they make, you can make a run for it to the safest hideout. Not anymore and we shall see how.
How to get rid of bats
The painful and awful truth is that they do exist. Bats are not just some kind of imaginary creatures that have been well thought out to scare us away. Now that the hard facts have finally dawned on us, it's time to take the bat by its slippery wings. Here's how;
- Find out if there are bats in your attic. If so, determine their species by making further inquiries and investigations. As soon as you can prove the fact that there are bats around your home, you can begin the necessary actions.
- Study your attic carefully and see what point they use to get in or out. As soon as you have verified this, you are ready to move on to the next cause of action. You have to seal these points completely.
- Use the most suitable repellent that will drive these bats away for good. Do your research keenly and ensure that the products you are using are genuine and can be trusted.
- You are now free to clean up whichever mess they leftover while they were lounging in your attic.
Do it in a professional way
If you feel you can't handle the mere thought of chasing away bats on your own, get some professional help. But before that, be sure to find out about their history in handling such.
Do some thorough investigations and see whether your findings are amounting to something. If not, you can move to the next lot. Also, find out how long they have been operational. This will give you hints on their current work experience. Check out their track record and what other clients have to say about them. This will be a real help to you.


text: I painted this when I was only 17 years old. I entitled this Ama's Secret Garden. (Btw, Ama is the Chinese term for grandma.) I chose this title because I love my Ama so much and the Secret Garden was her favorite music. When I asked her what she wanted me to paint she said she wanted a colorful garden so this is what I came up with. She passed away February 1st last year. My heart still feels heavy at times whenever I see this painting because it reminds me of her face, her voice and the guilt I feel since I never had the chance to say the right goodbye.

"The Rubbermaid series of heat-resistant spatulas are the standard in commercial kitchens everywhere. I have had my personal set at home for years (medium spatula, small spatula) and I finally decided to order more as I use them so much I needed an extra set. The only issue I have found is that tomato sauce can stain the blade; however the staining does not seem to transfer any off flavors to things like whipped cream and egg whites after you wash the spatula. Also, they are very tough and durable. If I didn't have these, I don't know what else I would use!"

Johnny Depp Quotes About FilmQuotes about: Film
You do the work and you want people to see it; but, um while I'm doing the work, the result doesn't matter at all to me. Ultimately, I don't, I don't care whether the film is - you know - some big giant box-office bonanza and I don't care if its a complete flop. To me, when a film gets made and it's actually finished it's a success. They're all a success in their own way.
One thing that's been a great, uplifting experience through all this is, since the first "Pirates" [movie], the people who've gone to see the films, the audience members. You meet people on the street - whether they're 5, 25, 65 or 85 - they've all had the same experience, and they've all enjoyed it. So that's what keeps me moving forward in this crazy process.
If I ever thought of directing again, I mean - I don't know, even the idea of directing a film is a strange one for me, because I feel kind of anti mathematics in a way in that sense. Anti - I don't like when things make sense, I prefer if they don't, so if I made a film, it wouldn't make any sense and no one would see it. So maybe I'll just make little films at home with my phone, never to be released.
In terms of it being a first screenplay, literally, my hat is off to him [Wally Pfister]. I didn't see any virgin blather in screen direction, or anything like that. It was just a wonderfully executed piece, and a complicated one. The mathematics involved in putting this film together, between Jack and Wally, and the great support of Alcon, it was not a easy little operetta.
I toyed with the idea of what it might be like to live with some species of heatstroke that maybe didn't go away all that quickly. He's a pirate, which is about rum, sodomy and the lash, isn't it? So, to be able to keep things like that in my head, when I'm going to do a film for Disney, I'd been through the ringer. That was like infiltrating the enemy camp. I wasn't able to stop smiling.
They said, "You get $2 million to make the film, if you're not in it. If you are in it, you get $5 million to make the film." There was no way to make the thing for $2 million, so I made it for $5 million. And then, it turned out there was no way to make the thing for $5 million. That's when it got weird.
Jesus, music has always been my first love. I use music in my work because it's the fastest way to an emotional place. You hear a song, and that memory comes right back-- you're there... Making music is immediate, and it's all about you. If you're playing guitar, the feeling comes through-- the way you bend the note, the intensity with which you hit the strings. With making films, although it's real emotion, it's false emotion. You're lying.
Yeah, in every film that I've been lucky enough to do with Tim, there's always some form of torture, and the nails were Tim's idea. They were the length of the fingers and stuff, but it was okay because I had a troop of people who would help me go to the bathroom. They had to have treatment afterwards but they're okay now. That is true.

NEWARK, N.J. – After two straight wins, the Ottawa Senators are feeling a little better about their playoff chances. The New Jersey Devils, on the other hand, couldn't feel any worse after absorbing their ninth straight loss.
Craig Anderson made 33 saves in his third shutout of the season, and the Senators extended the Devils' losing streak to within one of the franchise record with a 2-0 victory Friday night.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Milan Michalek second-period goals for the Senators, who won for the second consecutive night following a five-game skid.
"It does a lot," Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson said of the playoff push. "We've done a good job of staying positive. We lost five in a row but our fourth and fifth games we felt we were going in the right direction. We were playing pretty good. The last two wins is a reward for that hard play, and you build some confidence from that."
Ottawa, in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, lead ninth-place Winnipeg by four points. New Jersey is in 10th place, eight points behind Ottawa and four behind the New York Rangers and the post-season cutoff with seven games to play.
The Senators will finish a season-high, seven-game trip at Boston on Monday. They will then play five of their final six at home, where they are 13-3-3.
"We got two points. That's all that matters," Anderson said after his 22nd career shutout. "Thirty three shots isn't really that many shots. It's average for us. We did a great job of cleaning up rebounds in front. I felt like I was leaving a lot of junk out there, but our battle level was outstanding."
The defending East champion Devils dropped to 0-5-4 without injured star forward Ilya Kovalchuk.
Devils goalie Martin Brodeur said this skid has been one of the most frustrating in his 19 seasons with the club.
"It's been tough because the guys, they care, and they are playing hard," the 40-year-old Brodeur said. "I see them between periods and how tired they are and how focused they are and how the coaching staff is getting them ready. When you go out there and execute what you are supposed to do and you come back with nothing—what is it, eight or nine games in a row—it's just a tough way to play hockey."
Kovalchuk appears close to returning to the lineup, but it might be too late for the Devils. Their skid began when he sustained a shoulder injury on March 23 against Florida.
As has been the case in recent weeks, New Jersey seemed to control the territorial play and the shot count, but it didn't help produce any goals.
"It just happens everything is working against us now," said forward Patrik Elias, who played on two of the Devils' Stanley Cup championship teams. "We're working hard and trying to create our own luck, and it's not happening."
Despite outshooting the Senators 23-9 in the opening 40 minutes and getting an early two-man advantage for the second straight game, the Devils trailed 2-0 heading into the third period.
Pageau, called up from Binghamton of the AHL on Wednesday, earned an assist that night in the win at Philadelphia. Then he scored his first NHL goal in his second game.
Erik Condra intercepted a pass around the boards by Devils defenceman Mark Fayne and tried to centre it from deep in the right corner. The puck deflected off Devils centre Andrei Loktionov, and went right to Colin Greening between the circles.
Greening sent a backhander toward goal and Pageau came out from behind the net and tipped the puck over Brodeur's shoulder at 3:08.
"It's a great feeling," Pageau said. "In the American League, it took me 25 games to get my first one. Scoring in my second game, I'm really happy and looking forward to scoring more."
The goal came on the Senators' first legitimate shot on goal after they had three in the first period.
Michalek, who had missed the previous 15 games and 25 of 27 because of injuries, scored his third goal of the season.
The play started when Devils defencemen Marek Zidlicky and Henrik Tallinder collided near the Senators' blue line. Michalek skated the puck down the left side on a 2-on-1 rush, made a pass to Alfredsson coming down the middle, and then took the return pass for a shot into a wide open net.
The Devils had chances to get back into it.
Steve Sullivan was stopped by Anderson early on a shot from between the circles and then had a rebound hit off the post seconds later. Zidlicky had a couple of shots on the two-man advantage in the first period that lasted for 1:24, and Matt D'Agostini was stopped on a good chance from between the circles.
Anderson's best save probably was a stick stop on Ryan Carter late in the second period after a Senators turnover during a power play set up a 2-on-1, short-handed chance.
"I thought the other team played good," Senators coach Paul MacLean said. "Our goaltender was a big part of the game and our penalty killing was a big part. I thought they deserved a better fate, but we've been there before on this trip where the stat sheet looks real good for us but the scoreboard doesn't."
NOTES: Anderson is 6-2-1 against the Devils. … New Jersey is 3 of 33 on the power play without Kovalchuk in this losing streak. … The Devils' next two games are on the road: at Toronto and Philadelphia. … When the Devils lost 10 straight in 83-84, they started that season 2-20. … New Jersey defenceman Anton Volchenkov sat out the first game of a four-game suspension for elbowing Boston's Brad Marchand in the head on Wednesday. Devils captain and fellow defenceman Bryce Salvador missed the game because of a wrist injury sustained in the same game after he was hit by Zdeno Chara's shot.

10 Masters of the Self-Portrait, in Their Own Words
Artsy Editorial
Beverly Naya is a British-born Nigerian actress. She won the Most Promising Talent category at the 2010 Best Of Nollywood Awards and the award for Fast Rising Actress at the 2011 City People Entertainment Awards.
With his ongoing photographic self-portrait series "Sartorial Anarchy", wherein he is dressed in varied costumes across geography and time, Nigerian-born Iké Udé explores a world of dualities: photographer/performance artist, artist/spectator, African/post-nationalist, mainstream/marginal, individual/everyman, and fashion/art. Conversant with the world of fashion and celebrity, Udé offers a new take on aspects of performance and representation, melding his own theatrical selves and multiple personas with his art. "By mixing varied costumes in concert with the now and then," he has said, "we begin to realize how arbitrary, subjective, fleeting, even absurd—no less wonderful—our 'real' cultural construct is." Udé plays with the ambiguities of the marketplace and art world, particularly in his notorious art, culture, and fashion magazine, aRUDE and style blog,theCHIC INDEX. His articles on fashion and art have been published in magazines and newspapers worldwide, and Vanity Fair included him on their International Best Dressed List in 2009 and in 2012.
Nigerian, b. 1964, Lagos, Nigeria, based in New York, New York

Miley Cyrus has lashed out at reports suggesting she and her teenage sweetheart Nick Jonas have been meeting up in secret behind her fiance Liam Hemsworth's back.
The former Hannah Montana star has been at the center of ongoing speculation her romance with the Australian hunk is on the rocks since she was snapped without her engagement ring while Hemsworth was Down Under vacationing with his family.
The actress/singer has repeatedly claimed the relationship is still on, but new tabloid gossip suggests the star has been enjoying secret rendezvous with Jonas, who she dated in 2007.
Now Cyrus has angrily shot down the rumors, insisting she hasn't seen the Jonas Brothers hunk for years and has been trapped in her house due to a constant paparazzi presence.
Taking to Twitter.com to address the claims, she writes, "I literally haven't seen Nick Jonas in years. Don't believe everything you read folks.
"Why are magazines allowed to publish straight bull s**t... I couldn't have 'ran' into anyone because I haven't went (sic) to eat out in public in weeks because of the amount of paparazzi outside my house."

Martek Is Second Mtech Company Sold for More Than $1 Billion in Three Years
Dec 23, 2010, 08:45 EST
Successes Validate UMd.'s Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Dec. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Martek Biosciences, a company that launched leveraging the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) at the University of Maryland, entered an agreement on December 21 to be acquired by the Dutch company Royal DSM NV for $1.1 billion, the companies jointly announced.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101005/MTECHLOGO)
Martek is the second company sold for more than $1 billion in the past three years that made extensive use of Mtech's venture-building and biotechnology programs during its early stages. Digene Corporation was acquired by Qiagen NV for $1.6 billion in 2007.
Martek is a leader in the innovation, development, production and sale of high-value products from microbial sources that promote health and wellness through nutrition. The company's flagship product is life'sDHA™, a sustainable and vegetarian source of algal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) important for brain, heart and eye health throughout life for use in infant formula, pregnancy and nursing products, foods and beverages, dietary supplements and animal feeds.
In addition to Mtech's Technology Advancement Program (TAP) incubator, Martek leveraged Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) funding during the company's early stages to figure out how to scale-up its microbial processes through Mtech's Bioprocess Scale-Up Facility (BSF), which helps companies take bench-top or lab-produced products and prepare them for mass production.
"When I came to Mtech years ago, we had developed this fermentable algae," said Henry "Pete" Linsert, former chairman and CEO of Martek. "We were getting into the next stage where we said 'Will this stuff actually scale-up?' If it doesn't, we thought, if the economics aren't good, if it doesn't make pure products, if the organism doesn't grow, well -- we're sunk. We didn't have the equipment; we didn't have the people. Mtech said let's see if we can make this work. And it did!"
"Over 55 million babies worldwide have now had infant formula that included Martek's nutritional ingredients," Linsert continued. "Over 99 percent of the infant formula in the United States has it, as well as products in more than 75 countries around the world. Almost every U.S. child under the age of six has had this Martek DHA in their brain. It all started here. It all came from this facility."
Martek is just one example of the success of Mtech's entrepreneurship ecosystem.
- TAP incubator graduate Paice LLC licensed 23 of its patents to Toyota (used in hybrid cars such as the Prius) and Ford during summer 2010.
- Graduate Powerize.com was bought by Hoover's for $30 million in 2000.
- NovaScreen Biosciences was purchased by Caliper Life Sciences for $30 million in 2005.
- Two other incubator graduates, Cytonix and DataStream Content Solutions, were acquired in the past two years for undisclosed sums by Life Technologies and Dolan Co., respectively.
- Current incubator companies have acquired $23.8 million in contracts, grants and investment since 2008.
- MedImmune, Hughes Network Systems and Black & Decker (in addition to Martek and Digene) are some of the 468 companies using Mtech's MIPS program to develop blockbuster and life-saving products such as Synagis, HughesNet, and the Bullet SpeedTip Masonry Drill bit, respectively, to generate more than $21.6 billion in revenue.
- The Mtech living-learning entrepreneurship program Hinman CEOs, launched just in 2000, already has two companies in the Inc. 500, Squarespace and Lurn.
Mtech has built a comprehensive entrepreneurship ecosystem for teaching, encouraging, supporting and accelerating innovation. This year alone, the institute offers 23 courses related to entrepreneurship, from 8th-grade and high school summer classes to a pair of living-learning entrepreneurship programs and undergraduate, graduate and executive education classes. Approximately 607 aspiring and current entrepreneurs enrolled in Mtech's courses last year.
Mtech's VentureAccelerator program, which offers intense business startup mentoring for university inventors, has led its companies to seven regional, national and international awards in the past two years.
Five winners of the Mtech-hosted University of Maryland $75K Business Plan Competition, started in 2000, are now multi-million ventures.
Mtech works with an average of 400 companies each year through all of its programs. The institute has had a $25.7 billion impact and helped to create or retain more than 5,300 jobs since its inception in 1983.
"The success of Martek and other Mtech graduates illuminates the path to economic growth and job creation for the state," said University of Maryland President Wallace D. Loh. "Nurturing and supporting innovators early on is a smart investment. The university's concentration of technological, business and economic expertise can make the critical difference for Maryland entrepreneurs and innovators seeking to turn a bright idea into a thriving business that can benefit many."
Mtech's programs have served as best-practice models around the country. TAP was the first incubator in Maryland; there are more than 20 now. Many universities have replicated the Hinman CEOs program. Two other state research funding programs were based on MIPS. The National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance patterned its national Invention2Venture technology entrepreneurship workshop series after Mtech's annual University of Maryland Technology Start-Up Boot Camp. The BSF is one of only 17 comparable facilities in the country.
This support for entrepreneurs has translated into concrete economic benefits for Maryland. Both Digene and MedImmune (acquired by AstraZeneca in 2007) have announced plans to expand and add jobs in Maryland.
"Mtech's programs are a great example of why Maryland is a leader in technology innovation," says Governor Martin O'Malley. "The State of Maryland is committed to providing support for the entrepreneurship ecosystem that makes this kind of continued, sustainable success possible."
About Mtech (www.mtech.umd.edu)
The mission of Mtech is to educate the next generation of technology entrepreneurs, create successful technology ventures, and connect Maryland companies with university resources to help them succeed. Founded in 1983, Mtech has had a $25.7 billion impact on the Maryland economy and helped create or retain more than 5,300 jobs. Top-selling products such as MedImmune's Synagis®, which protects infants from a deadly respiratory disease, and Hughes Communications' HughesNet®, which brings satellite-based, high-speed Internet access to the world, were developed through or enhanced by our programs. Billion dollar companies such as Martek Biosciences and Digene Corporation graduated from our incubator.

What's The Best CBD Skin Care and CBD Anti Aging Products?
CBD Lotions and CBD Skin Care Creams Are A Very Adaptable and Easy Way of Consuming CBD
Looking at CBD Skin Care products In Texas, you will find that a lot of the research is still in the early stages. However, thanks to the changing laws in a number of places, there are more people starting to realize the many medicinal benefits that hemp has. CBD Skin Care is something that has been able to help a countless number of patients within the United States and Australia who live in areas where marijuana has been legalized to get great benefits.
Best Anti Aging Skin Care Cream With CBD Oil
CBD Skin Care Creams may be taken with food according to your preferences. You can also consume them on an empty stomach and not have any issues. CBD pills can be carried with you no matter where you go and you can take CBD hemp oil on a regular basis, whether you happen to be stuck in traffic or are traveling abroad. CBD capsules don't leave you with any excuses for missing your daily take of CBD! The rich CBD Lotionare naturally pure and are very useful since they may be consumed with either water or food, depending on what the user's preference is. In addition, CBD pills are vegan friendly as well and therefore are a convenient option for everyone to use.
While many people have often immediately gone to the idea that marijuana is mostly known for THC content, researchers have been working hard to identify many of the other components of the plant that can be beneficial to a wide range of patients. It is more important that ever that you get your CBD pain relief cream from an authorized manufacturer and a distributor that you can trust. Every state that has legalized medical marijuana has rules in place regarding the making and distribution of any creams like this. It is best to look into the laws and guidelines where you live to be sure that there are products available that you can buy that adhere to these rules and guidelines.
CBD Lotion For Anti Aging and Wrinkle Reduction
In store we have whole, premium plant CBD hemp oil that are contained in tablets and capsules and can be ordered from anywhere in the world, from our website directly and then shipped right to your house for your easy and simply daily CBD intake. We prepare our high quality CBD Anti Aging Lotion without using any preservatives and therefore provide the safest method for consuming CBD. In addition, various CBD oil brands are in USA and Australia. However Hemp Genix CBD Skin Care is the worlds Largest CBD Skin Care company.
CBD Skin Care in Texas is very easy to purchase, and are among the most popular of all of the different intake methods that are used throughout the world. If you are servicing for a convenient CBD intake alternative method, then you should consider CBD Lotion, especially if you are comfortable already with taking supplements in capsule form.
CBD Lotion For Anti Aging
CBD Oil Products
If you would like to purchase this type of CBD oil on a wholesale basis, you need to keep in mind that the cost and high quality of the oil depends on the plant it comes from. Another significant issue is the quantity of the oil that the plant produces. This oil is the most used critical oil on earth. Industrial hemp oil is not a drug. There is also not enough THC contained in it to produce a psychotropic effect. Our oils specifically have No THC and are therefore 100% USA. Many people might come into contact with industrial hemp oil when looking for cannabidiol oil (CBD) to buy. Therefore CBD Oil wholesalers need to do research to ensure you understand exactly what you are searching then selling ultimately to your customers. In the United States, there are many very low quality, fake CBD oil wholesalers, and many sell CBD oils from Canada or the UK.
Why Buy CBD Wholesale From Hemp Genix?
They offer very economic rates, specially when compared with other so-called CBD Wholesalers who are actually middlemen (referred to as Brokers) that drive the expense up. It is an ideal way of saving money by going to the farm directly as soon as possible, or even better to get all of the raw CBD Materials, CBD Oil Drop Shipping, Order Fulfillment and Private Label CBD Manufacturing that you need all from one place. You won't have to give up your regular prices to buy it. The advantages offered by hemp oil hasn't been analyzed extensively in humans, so although it likely does have advantages, they have not been established medically and are not ensured.
It isn't necessary to visit in person to shop. That will help you save even more money. To ensure that you avoid scam drug stores, make sure you thoroughly research web drug store websites. It can also be found easily in a local supermarket all throughout the year.
Since all of its components are natural, it is completely safe to take orally. It is possible to find the product either at a shop or on the web. If you would like to purchase bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil products, contact Hemp Genix to obtain specific prices. Hemp Genix is the leading company for Wholesale CBD Vape Oil Products.
CBD Anti Aging Lotion
CBD Skin Care for Psoriasis
A lot if individuals who are turning to cannabis oil creams and CBD oil have become disenchanted with pharmaceuticals, steroid creams, conventional treatments, and self-injection methods. They have been put through the ringer, then a certain person persuaded them to try a CND cram and VOILA, results of varying degrees that were instantaneous.
One of the many side effects associated with conventional treatments, one which seem to be brought up quite often is the thinning of the skin which over time leads to damaged cells and skin weakness. CBD ointment, oils and creams, even if they were not to work, will not cause thinning.
When I use the word miraculous, I am referring to the fact that if you browse through various forums, you will find countless people who experienced positive results almost immediately. Generally, after having had years with minimal and even no results from orthodox treatments.
Although there were those who experienced a complete disappearance of their psoriasis, there we other who experienced various levels of improvement, For example, the psoriasis did not completely disappear, but the itching and inflammation did.
The biggest bit of advice that those who do experiment with homemade CBD creams give to others is that if it seems as if the cream is not working for you, it is probably due to it containing a weak CBD potency. Try using a CBD or THC oil that is stronger.
Eighty percent of those the individuals you will see feedback from claim that their psoriasis symptoms improved after they experimented with CBD and THC oils: redness, flaking, soreness, itching, bleeding, etc.
There are those who experience positive effects after smoking cannabis, however other opt for using THC and those who prefer CBD oils that do not contain THC or even CBD vapes. When it comes to this there are many options to choose from and they are promising!
Yes, you will stumble upon those who claim that they did not see any improvement at all. However they seem to be few and far in between, and generally it is they who also claim to have concocted their own remedies with the use of other oils and herbs. What is confusing is that even if you were to opt for giving it a try to treat psoriasis, there are countless other amateur recipes available.
Two Studies on the use of CBD to Potentially Treat Psoriasis
After browsing through various forums and search engines, here is what I was able to find. There are a few others out there; however it is not my goal to bog your mind down. Here are the studies:
Study Number One: Human Keratinocyte Proliferation is inhibited by Cannabinoids
The results show that even though a circumstantial role may be played by CB receptors in keratinocyte proliferation, there is no significant contribution they make to this process. The results indicate that keratinocyte proliferation is inhibited by cannabinoids, therefore supporting an important role for cannabinoids to help treat psoriasis.
Study Number Two: Topical THC and Anti-Inflammatory Activity
THC that is topically applied can effectively reduce contact allergic inflammation by lowering the pro-inflammatory keratinocyte derived mediators who orchestrate the immune myeloid cell infiltration that is independent from CB1/2 receptors. This offers major implications towards the future development of strategies that can harness cannabinoids as a way of treating inflammatory skin diseases.

Five Dolphins-centric thoughts on the championship games:
1. Does Don Shula have two more wins than given credit for? And two playoff wins at that? This is a timely question, as Bill Belichick tied Don Shula in playoff wins by a coach last week (19) and could tie Tom Landry this weekend for the most playoff wins ever.
But Shula has two playoffs wins no one counts, as Dolphins public-relations chief Harvey Greene points out. They came when Shula coached Baltimore in the NFL Playoff Bowl, which as the consolation game of the NFL Championship was more aptly called the Runner-Up Bowl.
The games were considered playoff games at the time and played in the Orange Bowl. One of them became famous when Shula had no healthy quarterbacks and moved running back Tom Matte to quarterback, giving him a wristband with the plays on it.
In some ways, it's easier to accrue playoff wins in this era, as there are double the post-season games a team could play. On the other hand, the league has double the number of teams in the league, making the post-season more difficult to make.
Bottom-line: Should Shula have 21 playoff wins?
And wouldn't that stretch his all-time wins record to 349?
2. Here's my favorite Wes Welker story from a column I wrote when he was with the Dolphins. He's obviously gone on to fame and fortune. But as an undrafted pick-up from San Diego, Welker was scratching his way on the Dolphins. He told the story of talking with a woman in a bar. They hit it off. At one point, she asked what he did for a living.
"I play for the Dolphins,'' the 5-9 Welker said.
She looked at him as if to wonder why he'd pull that line on her. She didn't say a word and stood up and left.

Sion Build
The maximum damage i have gotten was 703 dmg and 3.4k hp.
Recommended for more experienced players and for a SOLO lane.
I dont know what to buy for my yellow runes, if anyone can help me with this please comment.
Sion can be played in many ways. Caster/Tank/AD. I believe AD/AS with a bit of tanky-ness (depending on your amount of minion kills) is the most effective and most strongest way to play Sion. I know my items are quite odd, but it works. You just need to receive early game kills.
10 armor reduction from exhaust mastery
30 armor pen from runes.
60 armor reduction from The Black Cleaver.
45% attack speed from Phantom Dancer. ( 90% attack speed if you get two )
25% attack speed from Beserker's Greaves.
50% attack speed from your Cannibalism.
250% damage from Infinity Edge.
64% crit chance. ( 94% if you get another phantom )
100% life steal from Cannibalism.
25% life steal from The Blood Thirster
W/ ulti on : 100 armour reduction w/ exhaust mastery on. 120/165% attack speed. 64/94% crit chance. 900-1.2k damage dependant on armour. 125% lifesteal. Keep on hitting and you'll obliterate. Get another phantom dancer and you'll create doom upon the other team.
Exhaust : Good for 1vs1. To receive no physical damage taken to you. Good for running away. Good for chasing. 10 armor reduction from mastery.
Ignite : Killing someone running past turret. When you have no more mana left for stun.10 ap from mastery.
Flash : Running away. Chasing.
Teleport : Porting back to base then quickyly porting back to your lane. Ganking.
RunesMark : Desolation. Quintessence : Desolation. Break through your enemy's armour and maximize damage.
First you want to start out with a Dagger (buy a hp pot if needed) and build up into Berserker's Greaves. If you receive first blood you will obtain these boots. Next buy two daggers or straight into a Zeal. Then build your phantom dancer. Buy a long sword then a B.F sword then your Cleaver. The Cleaver will stack up to 5 times each hit reducing enemy armor by 12. That comes up to 60 armor reduction and if you include your 30 armor penetration from your runes that comes up to 90 armor pen. You are able to get negative armor which will increase your damage even more. Go onto your next B.F sword then Agility cape then I.E. Your critical now does 250% instead of 200. This will help you dramatically when your ultimate is used. By now the game is usually finished for me but The Blood Thirster is next just to increase your physical damage. If you do are not satisfied with your speed buy another phantom dancer which will increase your crit chance to 94% which will dramatically change the rate of your criticals actually happening. If you want more hp to deal with hard hitters get a Frozen Mallet which will you you a little bonus helping you chase and succeed with your kill.
Go kill the dragon at level nine, you will need to use your ultimate and maybe even a few stuns. Keep on killing the dragon as soon as you can since you need the extra gold. Don't forget to max your thirster stacks. You want to kill a lot of minions to get all of your items. I usually get around 200 minion kills a game.

(AP) Pressure on Sacramento to speed up offer for Kings
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
AP Sports Writer
The clock is ticking for Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson's efforts to keep the Kings from moving to Seattle.
Speaking at his weekly City Hall news conference, Johnson said Tuesday that the joint committee that will decide whether the Kings leave might want to discuss his city's proposal before the NBA Board of Governors meeting April 19.
Owners can vote on the pending sale and relocation of the Kings at any time, but the annual meeting in New York is typically when decisions about moving a franchise are made. NBA Commissioner David Stern said last week he combined the two committees that oversee sales and relocations and told them, "You guys figure it out."
Johnson plans to be in Houston this weekend during All-Star festivities to lobby league owners and update Stern on Sacramento's latest efforts.
The Seattle group led by hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, which has a pending purchase agreement for the Kings, already has filed for relocation. The relocation of a franchise requires a majority approval of the Board of Governors – which consists of league owners – and the sale of the franchise would require a three-fourths majority. Stern appointed the joint committee to work through the complex deal.
Johnson, a former NBA All-Star, has been promised a chance to present a bid to NBA owners to keep the team in California's capital city – with a plan to help finance a new downtown arena. The mayor has introduced more than 20 local investors who have pledged at least $1 million each to be minority owners in the team, but he has yet to announce the major equity partners he hopes will anchor a "fair and competitive offer" to present to the league.
Billionaire Ron Burkle, co-owner of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, and 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov are among those who have had serious discussions with the mayor. Burkle also met with Stern at league headquarters last month.
In the days left before traveling to Houston, Johnson plans to talk with Sacramento's corporate community about pledging sponsorship and season-tickets sales to show "the viability of the market." That includes working with the grass-roots effort "Here We Buy," which helped boost attendance to 16,193 in Sacramento's win over Utah on Saturday night.
If nothing else, All-Star weekend has produced major developments about the Kings' future the past two years.
In 2011, Stern said in Los Angeles that that the Kings were exploring a move to Anaheim. Johnson ultimately convinced owners at their April meeting to give his city a chance to help finance a new arena.
In 2012, Johnson traveled to Orlando, Fla., where he reached a tentative agreement – signed off on by Stern – for a new downtown Sacramento arena with Kings owners Joe, Gavin and George Maloof. That agreement collapsed a few weeks later when the Maloofs said the deal didn't make financial sense for the franchise.

SOURCE: "Predicaments of Soviet Writing—I," in The New Republic, May 11, 1963, pp. 19-21.
In the following excerpt, Howe acknowledges the literary and political importance of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, but contends that Solzhenitsyn's novel is not the "masterpiece" many critics have quickly judged it to be, as Howe finds shortcomings in the novel's "excessive and self-denying" narrative control.
Though a remarkable book, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is not the masterpiece certain reviewers have taken it to be. It deserves a place among the documents of revelation with which our century is crowded, but as a novel One Day is too constricted and repressed to merit the praise it has received.
Reading the book has left me with a quantity of feelings, not all of them literary; but then only a cretin could read such a book "purely" in literary terms...

Climbing trees is one of those uniquely satisfying endeavors, uncomplicated but not simple, enough of a challenge to give you the satisfaction of accomplishment. Grab a branch, feel out its strength, position your feet on a sturdy branch below you, or maybe on a junction of smaller branches that, combined, will hold your weight for the moment. Or, if you're just starting off, grab a branch and hoist yourself up. Or walk your feet up the trunk until you can hoist yourself. The art of climbing trees is not a static one, but one that changes as you grow. You get taller, you weigh more, your joints ache in new and unhelpful ways. The tree may be the same, but you certainly aren't.
When you're young, it's easy, and it's a thrill. A manageable thrill, a calculated risk, something that your mother will bite her lip and hold her breath and crinkle her forehead over while you ascend, knowing full well you're in control and safe. She doesn't know, you think, but you do. You know something your mother does not! Something so obvious, but still it's your secret. You can climb trees–everyone knows and no one knows. There's so much magic in that.
When you're a bit older, it's a way to show off. Look at me, look at what I can do–I can climb this high, I'm aware enough that there's real danger in doing so, but I can do it anyways and I will! I'm good at something. I'm great at this. Are you as good as me? As fearless? As brave? (It's not brave, not really, but you don't know the difference between fearless and brave.) Mom would yell at me, or maybe she wouldn't bother because she knows I won't listen anymore, but she'd still tell me I should be careful, I should come down, but I don't have to, she can't stop me. I'm climbing this tree, dammit, and no one's going to stop, but everyone should look at me.
Then when you're older still, it's a reminder. Of how once upon a time, you could jump to that first branch, grab it with the barest ends of your fingers and pull your little body up, but now you have to get there some other way. Manuevering through these branches was simpler then, you remember how quickly you did it, how carefree and heedless of the real danger. Then again, was it actually all that dangerous? Sure, you could've fallen, but you were always really good at this. Maybe the chances of you falling weren't so high as your mom believed them to be after all. Now, however, you weigh more, you aren't as flexible, you know how hard the ground below will be. Still, you reach for that next branch, you find a new path up the tree, maybe not quite as high as you once went, but the view is still quite lovely all the same, and you still feel you're good at something, you can something, it doesn't quite matter if anyone else saw you (because you're an adult, and it's a little silly to be climbing trees at your age), because you saw you, and you know you can still do it.
Finally, when you have a few more years on yet, you might see someone else climbing a tree, someone much smaller and younger who doesn't know about real danger, or the difference between being fearless and being brave, or how your knees creak when you walk up stairs. They'll be all joy and bravado and they'll know the secrets you used to know, the secrets they think you've forgotten if you ever knew them at all, and you'll see how far they might fall, how hard the ground is, how small and thin the branches are. Then maybe you'll remember what it's like to know a secret your mom doesn't know, to be fearless and think it's brave, or maybe you'll bite your lip and hold your breath and your forehead will crinkle….
Or maybe both.

"Last week, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd misrepresented a Bush statement to imply that he said the Al Qaeda terrorist network is 'not a problem anymore,' and the distorted quotation has since been repeated by MSNBC 'Buchanan and Press' co-host Bill Press, CNN's Miles O'Brien and others, including numerous foreign press outlets. At a time when the New York Times is under fire for its conduct in the Jayson Blair scandal, Dowd's creation of an exploding media myth is cause for serious concern."

Countryside path., originally uploaded by Nikonphotoslave.
I can't help thinking today of the many different directions that my life has taken me. Some I have chosen for myself, most I haven't. Either way there are destinations that I find, bridges that I cross and people I encounter as I go. I love those special places that I find along the way. I don't particularly like learning lessons. But, later they are always valuable. Life is about embracing each experience, learning from them and helping someone along the way. I've found that the best road map available for me is God's Word. It always works out better when He makes the decisions. Kind of like Garth Brooks' song, "Unanswered Prayers" here.

- Part I, "Elementals," begins with the interrelationship between code and XAML, basic event handling, dynamic layout, controls, the application bar, control customization, and collections. You should emerge from Part I ready to create sophisticated page-oriented collection-based user interfaces using the powerful ListView and GridView controls.
- Part II, "Infrastructure," examines the level underneath the UI. In these chapters, you'll go deeper into Windows 8 with a complete exploration of the multitouch interface, asynchronous operations for working with files and web services, networking, security, and globalization. You'll see particular emphasis on data sharing, and interfacing with the search panes and contract panes of Windows 8.
- Part III, "Specialties," explores topics you might not need for every program but are essential to a well-rounded education in Windows 8. It includes working with the sensors (GPS and orientation), vector graphics, bitmap graphics, media, text, printing, and obtaining input from the stylus and handwriting recognizer.

The CPD Student of the Year for 2012 has literally come a long way to receive the honor.
Diogenes Hernandez came to the CPD from the Dominican Republic, via Utah State University. He'd already started freelancing in web design before he came to USU to finish his two bachelor's degrees in computer science and mathematics. (He has since earned them and nearly completed work on a masters in business administration.)
When the time came to look for a job, he applied for one at the CPD's WebAIM project, which was developing a version of the WAVE tool. (If you haven't checked WAVE out, you should. It gives instant feedback on a web page's accessibility.) He got the job. Since then, in addition to working on WebAIM he has also worked on projects for the Interdisciplinary Disability and Service Learning class and the Utah Regional Leadership in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities project.
"When I got here and I started… the people at WebAIM showed me a whole new world about why you do certain things," he said. His focus as a freelancer had been about making websites look pretty. When he talked to the CPD's Sachin Pavithran and learned how assistive technology helps people with disabilities navigate the web, he understood the need for the accessible web design that made it possible.
As a working student he has enjoyed the advantages and trials of work and study in the same field. "Experience wise it's excellent because whatever I learned at school I could apply to the job," he said. But it got hard sometimes to leave a day of study only to do the exact same things at work. WebAIM has always worked with him to make it possible for him to meet coursework deadlines.
Along the way he has gained some rich work experience. He has presented three times at CSUN (an annual international technology and persons with disabilities conference). He is primarily a programmer, but Diogenes also was involved in translation for the Spanish version of the WAVE tool. (He speaks French, too—and English, of course.)
"This is the kind of stuff that people do not see normally in jobs," he said. "We're actually trying to make difference, make a change, for people with disabilities and technology."
He is succeeding. "You have made tremendous contributions to the development of software tools and resources that help make the world accessible for all people," CPD Director Bryce Fifield wrote in a letter notifying Diogenes of his award. "Thank you for sharing your creativity and passion. Equally important to us is also the way you have embraced the ideals of inclusion and self-determination that are important to the CPD."
Diogenes said has enjoyed the support of his family and friends as he continues to study and work so far from home.
"My family has always been there for me. I call them and they support me in everything," he said. "Without my friends I wouldn't be here also."

The day before yesterday was our concert at Kobe VARIT.
It was really fun!!
Thinking about it, we gained a lot of experience points from this show.
Thanks to everyone who came to see us!
And please keep watching us from here on, too.
We announced it at the concert, and it's also on our website, but in spring we'll be doing a solo show for three days in a row at VARIT!
I'm looking forward to it!
We'll have to focus all our effort from now on for those shows!(*´∀`)
Before that, we'll release a mini-album. The mini-album will be like a WEAVER retrospective.
We'll re-record our current songs, as well as work on some new ones.
It will be something that our new fans and our current fans can look forward to!
Releasing a CD is a completely different kind of excitement!(^o^)
Although it's gradually getting colder and more like winter, the other day I saw some fall leaves and thought that Autumn is still hanging on.
Isn't the shape of maple leaves cute?
I like the color variation on these two.
Isn't it amazing?
Alright everyone, act like germ assassins and wash your hands and gargle so you don't catch a cold!
Well then, later!☆

Chasing your dreams..
There comes a time when each one of us wonders what is our purpose in life. Something we can create and contribute to the greater good. We all want to do be a part of something big which matters or even lay down those founding bricks to create it. Increasing number of us are unwilling to trade our skill sets , thoughts and ideas for a steady paycheck working as a commodity in a giant corporation. Just a 9 to 5 job does not suffice our intellectual and our souls deep down are compelled to search for our calling. The big question is -How??
I am sure you must have some people in your life who have identified their passion and talent at a very early age. They exactly know what they are born to do. Thereafter which they relentlessly work towards making that dream true. If its in fact true I will honestly admit I am jealous! For some of us its hard to even articulate our dreams. Having a clear picture of what we want is a lot harder than it seems. All we know is what we are doing in life is not fulfilling enough and does not serve our purpose. But we have no idea of what is the right path which would take to our dreams and give us that ultimate satisfaction. Yes , we sometimes struggle to figure out what we need and picture that 'unlived perfect' life.
I just want to say its 'OK' to NOT know what you want. All of us respect and idealize clarity. Knowing our final destination helps us carve out those exact steps which will take us there. But its almost impossible to have clarity and that is totally acceptable.
Even if you lack clarity try to recognize your inner drive and the will to do something. Now channel this power to start with something small. Even a small step can play a huge role in the grand scheme of events. Don't let your lack of clarity dampen your spirit to do something. Do you want to be a world class photographer but have never taken a picture or you want to be an entrepreneur but have never put your thoughts down on a business model. The key here is implementation.
Once you have a sense of which area in life excites you the most start chasing it with your head down and a laser focus. Even if you don't have the clarity try to enjoy the process of getting to an ideal state where everything fits together and makes sense. Often when we dream of becoming somebody or doing something it brings a great joy of claiming that dream. What we underestimate is the number of hours which are required put in to finally achieve that dream. We discount the hard work and perseverance required to finally reach there. Once you start with something stick with it at least for sometime. Give it your best shot before you finally give up on it.
Trust me its not easy! I have been guilty of taking up a project and abandoning it many a time just because it was too 'difficult' or 'time-consuming'. Don't get in that trap when you claim a new goal something which seems all bright and shiny. The moment you get into its execution part all the excitement wears off due to its complexity. Try to stick with it a little longer than that. Let the effort and work which you put into define your success and who you are rather than the end result. And of course if it doesn't work you have learned something from it, and you have an interesting story to tell.
Just make sure that you are flexible. The secret is start with something but be aware of the changes happening around you. Try your best to be flexible to quickly learn and switch if need be.
Everyday we evolve and try to assess our needs. Our needs in life change, progress and expand with age and changing environment. If you are someone like me its hard to keep up chasing these goals and dreams. At the end of the day be kind to yourself and respect the efforts you put in each and every day to achieve these dreams. Know that these goals will not automatically fall into your lap. You have to sweat and reflect a lot to reach that final milestone. You might face many hurdles in the way and you will trip and fall. But during this whole process you will find out who you are and what is it that you were born to do and achieve!!
Keep dreaming and chasing!!
