COLUMBIA CITY – Whitley County Republican Chairman Matt Boyd has called a Dec. 11 caucus to fill an office vacancy resulting from the late September resignation of County Assessor Rita Sauders.
Sauders tendered her resignation from the elected county office via a letter Sept. 19 with it taking effect Dec. 31.
To fill this vacancy the Whitley County Republican Central Committee is holding a caucus of the Whitley County Republican Precinct Committeemen on Monday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Whitley County Government Center, 1st Floor Meeting Room C, located at 220 West Van Buren Street, Columbia City, IN 46725.
The caucus is open to the public.

•Have resided in county for at least one (1) year before the election (IC 3-8-1-23);
•Must own real property located in the county upon taking office (IC 3-8-1-23); and

After last week's radical departure from the norm, I think it is a good time to take a step back into a theme that might be considered more professional. This week's theme is called Plate, a product of White Eye Design, and it is just one of many excellent GO Launcher themes by the company. One of the aspects that is boasted front and center on Plate's Play Store page is that this theme comes with over 120 different icons. As I have stated probably ad nauseum, it is very important for a theme to come in with a strong arsenal of icons for any user's app collection. Even with this large collection of icons, the apps that do fall through the cracks are not even noticed because the normalcy of the theme means that normal icons fit right alongside the stylized ones. This effect is greatly aided by the grey box that surrounds each icon and adds a really clever segmented feeling to the whole theme.
GO Launcher has a great way for the user to browse through wallpapers and they encourage theme developers to include multiple backgrounds. The wallpaper that comes with Plate is definitely not anything that will blow anyone away but the house in the field is a nice touch and adds another layer of class onto this already stylish theme. Another nice touch is the silver dock which when placed behind the darker grey boxed icons gives a surprisingly realistic embossed effect. Adding in the fact that Plate plays well with practically any custom wallpaper, be it dark or light, and there is a total package here that should not be missed by anyone who is looking to add a slight touch of elegance to their Android. While there, be sure to check out some of the other White Eye Design themes and check back here for a possible post looking at another one of there themes in the future.

The X-Factor That Could Decide UFC 162's Main Event Between Silva and WeidmanJuly 6, 2013
If Chris Weidman intends to dethrone longtime middleweight champ Anderson Silva at UFC 162, then the 29-year-old New York native must capitalize on his stellar grappling chops.
Because the former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler will obviously have his hands full on his feet, Weidman must make his venomous grappling game the X-factor in this much anticipated scrap.
While the pound-for-pound king holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has tapped some of the game's best, Silva still must execute with precision on the ground to survive Weidman's submission assaults.
Weidman has yet to allow a takedown in nine pro bouts and has accumulated 13 floorings—including a pair against former NCAA Division I national champion wrestler, Mark Munoz. And although Alessio Sakara and Jesse Bongfeldt aren't regarded as top-tier wrestlers, Weidman outgrappled expert Demian Maia and former college wrestler Tom Lawlor in back-to-back wins.
In his stiffest challenge, Weidman dropped over 30 pounds in 10 days to take on Maia on short notice. Weidman didn't look his best but still stuffed each of the Brazilian's seven takedown attempts en route to a unanimous-decision win at UFC on Fox 2.
Silva will undoubtedly need to remain cognizant of Weidman's submission ability, especially in the realm of chokes. But "The Spider" should be more wary of a Chael Sonnen-like game plan from "The All-American."
A master in top control, Weidman sounded off on the Sonnen comparison's during a media conference call for UFC 162 by saying:
The obvious answer is the takedowns and trying to expose him with the wrestling. But we're (he and Sonnen) totally different fighters. I believed I could beat him before that fight (UFC 117), but (Silva) stays relaxed and if you're tense and he's relaxed, eventually he's going to be able to get off what he wants. So I think the main thing I learned from that is that I thought Chael was a little bit too uptight and tense when he got the takedown, and I think it paid off for Anderson to stay relaxed the entire fight because he was able to have the energy to knock that out in the fifth round. And all props to Anderson on that.
Sonnen seemingly exposed a chink in Silva's armor at UFC 117, making the Brazilian appear vulnerable to upper-echelon wrestlers. But realistically, The Spider has a sturdy defensive wrestling game, and an excellent defensive grappling repertoire.
In his last 10 fights, Silva has only surrendered five takedowns—three of which came in his first encounter with Sonnen. The Spider also hasn't been submitted since getting shocked by Ryo Chonan with a flying scissor heel hook at Pride Shockwave 2004.
In an interview with Rick J. Lee, Silva acknowledged Weidman's grappling pedigree, but then ambiguously implied that it won't affect the outcome of their fight.
Yeah, he's a good wrestler, a good athlete, but, a fight is a fight. It's different. This is not wrestling, this is MMA. This is not jiu-jitsu, this is MMA. This is not muay-thai, this is MMA.
Only time will tell whether Weidman can use his freakish grappling skills to serve Silva his first loss in the UFC. One thing's certain, however, Weidman's got four inches of reach on Sonnen, a fact that will make closing the distance on Silva easier.
His promise to finish Silva may not come to fruition for Weidman. But a boring decision win could definitely be in the cards if the former Hofstra University wrestler can utilize his X-factor.

hello family, im proud to say, that yesterday was my 1st day on my newest taper plan, and although i was a bit uncomfortable, i kept my mind positive, took ibu to help relieve the achyness, zofran to help with the wd symtoms, and xanax for my panic/anxiety that was brought on and also to help me produce sleep. so i can say it was a success. today be #2 day of #5 days that i will take the 13 pills each hour 1. this is a whole different process to me, and its takeing some getting use to, but i know its not gonna be fun nor easy. when i started this newest way of tapering that thor gave me, for the past 4 days my dose was allready upped and i was taking 16 1/4 pills, whooo! thats alot to be taking. i know that excersize will help me a great deal so ill be using my treadmill, stationary bike and also be purchasing a womens cruiser to go and ride around the lake, which in hawaii, keolu hills where i live the lake is 3 miles and many many people, walk, jog, run, and bike. im pretty excited and am looking to the day that i will only be taking 12 pills, the 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, then ZERO PILLS. such awesomeness to look forward too. im having my coffee and 142 hawaii time, my resltess leg and arm syndrome and body aches woke me up. i do know from reading other posts my sleep will be thrown off big time, but its ok, that too will be abe to be fixed back to a normal sleep pattern. i know that i cannot rush this process, baby myself no longer, and let this demon pills destroy my life anymore. it took me 3 years to get here and will take me some time to get back to this thing i call life. i opened up a netflix account and bought the movie courageous so i can keep myself busy and lay in bed when im uncomfortable and watch movies. anyone else that has other ideas that can help me succeed in this taper, i am open to all suggestions. im so excited for the 5 days to go by so i can drop a pill, because that would mean im moving forward. but i will not cut before those days being id probably horribly screw up. well, back to my coffee and stretching this dam ibby jibbys our of my legs and arms, and stretch the aches out of my upper back and shoulders. i will be back to update you all, thanks family, till then, leanne

I forgot to add the medication I'm tapering off, percocet 10/325

Hi Honey,
What you are doing is great,hang in there and focus on the end of your journey.I am on a taper down myself,currently take six 0.4mg per ady then redcing one tablet every day until I will be off for the 31st Jan.Sorry I dont want to start on my story.Back to you.
Understand there will be discomfort.I would recommend cutting down on the coffee as caffiene aggravates your wd symtoms.Try green or ginger tea instead.It'll take a few cups to acclimatise but sweeten with honey and its very relaxing.I have also stocked up on seeds and nuts for my Omega 3,get loads of Vitamin C and drink plenty of water.I have been given Quinine 20mg tablets for the restless legs although I havent taken them,I believe they work a treat.Failing that try a long,hot soak in the bath before bedtime to relax your muscles.Also somebody suggested to me to listen to Alpha Wave music on low volume to help aid sleep.Its a little hippyish but does chill you out.Hope this helps,I am no expert ...
but will do anything I can if it helps defeat that crap.
Also take 10 mins to look around you,honey youre in Hawaii.Surely that'll release a few endorphins at the very least.Good Luck,God Bless.
ingabom09, thank you for great support. yes i live in hawaii, but ive lived here all my life, and honestly so your not fooled, many locals here are not the greatest people. yes im a local girl, but i also have more white/asian blood and my face says it all, except the nose of course, and the mouth when i talk, and when im dancing hula, thats when the few times the hawaiian will shine. im much rather proud of my asian/white. as for my family we were brought to love and honor our chinese tradtions, and customs, and last nite being kung hee fat choy, so thats where my family was in china town celebrating the new year. today is day 3, and now, since late last nite i feel like im dying. but i know this is temporary, its mostly the upper back pain and body aches, thankfull the resltless arm and leg syndrome didnt give me problems last nite. you also be strong and goodluck, an yes ive listened to interlude music for relaxing, its wonderfull, also go to massage therapy weekly for an hour, its great. take care
Hi helpmehawaii Aloha!
I totally agree with ingabom09.If you sleep better with no sound as I do purchase some in expensive earplugs.A couple of bucks will bring great quiet.I also listen to CD's that are FOR sleep and relaxation.You can easily find these online.I am going through the suboxone withdraw.I bought withdraw-ease supplements.I do notice small improvement in aches but endorse(no).I also have Xanax.The hot tub or just a hot bath several times a day is being very helpful.I add mineral salts that has magnesium in them.I live by the ocean in Ventura County and also ride my cruise bike to the beach.The cool breeze and the sound of the ocean inspire me.There is always something to see that encourages me at the ocean... the smell..the sounds... watching people..pure enjoyment even when annoyed with pain.
I will be thinking of you and sending up prayers in your behalf.You can do this,you must.I am such a weak person but I have to find the courage in me.So I employ you also to keep digging down deep and remove the negative effects of addiction from your life.My hope for us all is with lesson learned we don't return to this road.Having born children I know past pain can easily be forgotten.So we must continually remind ourselfs and tell our story so we keep focused.If you need to just talk,pass time,feel free to contact me.i wish you the best of health and Happy New Year.Is it the year of the Dragon?Time to quit chasing ours.
to all my family, its day 5, i actually was able to make it yeterday with little wds, then wham, it came at 145 am, hawaii time, yay me. but its ok, i was able to get resed up for the next couple days, so far thats been a pattern for me. the runny nose is one of the symptoms thats driving me bonkers, but hey life could be worse, i could still be im denial about my problem. this is all for now, ill be back
Hi Leanne,
I just woke up and I hope I misunderstood you. You said you'er taking 13 pills each hour. I hope that was a typo. You are supposed to take 1 pill at a time. I said make it 1 every hour because i don't know how long you stay awake. I'm guessing you may go to seep after 14 or 15 hours. But you should only be taking 1 pill at a time, approximately 1 an hour.
I told you can vary this a little. If you are waking up in wds, and if 10 mg doesn't stop them, you can have 2 pills on your morning dose. Or if you need the pills to sleep, you can take 2 pills for the evening dose. But otherwise 1 pill at a time. And actually it is fun. It's something all drug users like to do. Take pills often. You should get a small memo spiral note book and write down what you take and when. That way you won't lose track. And you will lose track.
I know you don't think so. But this much is easier. Like I said, at 130 mg you probably took 4 doses a day. Such as 30 mg 3 times a day,and 40 mg once. Trying to cut 1 pill off 1 dose was probably real hard. It was for me. But once you get used to 1 pill at a time, just eliminating 1 pill won't be so hard. And you will finally see some success which will make you feel even better.
Oops Thor, yes huge typo. 13 pills, 1 each hour, will do that notebook. Ty
ty pledge for your much support, day 3 is a little hectice, as was nite 2, lots of body aches and anxiety. but i will move on forward and make it. leanne
Sounds good Leanne. Have yourself a great week, and no worries,pledge
Dear helmehawaii,
I am sooo proud of you. You have no idea what you are doing. How incredibly amazing it is that you are doing this. I didn't get sober from pills, it was alcohol, but I know what addiction is and I am just so proud of you. I want to continue to encourage you. It sounds like you are doing allot of right things allready. And yes, Thor did give you some great advise, and I am so glad you listened to him and you are doing so well. You should be proud of yourself too. Give yourself a big Hawaii hug! If I were there I would hug you too. Best of luck to you, and keep up the good work. Ruth
ruth thank you so much, today is the 3rd day, i began to have a struggle and lots of body aches and anxiety last nite, but took my xanax at 3 am hawaii time and finall was able to get 3 hard hours of sleep. thanks you, i feel you hugs from you all the way here in the 808 state, which laugh at me now, im so over it, im 41 yrs old, just about raised my kids, 2 on their own.and the other two goes back and forth between me, whos got a small home, and my parents with a 3 story home, and a pool, and a kids room, so, guess that says it all why theyd much rather stay with their grandparents. lol, and good job on your recovery, i too am a recovering alcoholic and meth user, 9 yrs and counting. now just got to kick these pills that i sooooo at one time wouldnt even take them after major surgery, a new day, a new beginning and a new year for me. ttyl,leanne
Leanne, I am 41 yrs old too. How ironic is that. You will have some discomforts, as I did too. You should know huh. lol. But don't quit the hard struggle you have began. You will feel so much better when you have fought this battle and can say you have won. I can't believe it's been a little over 5 years since I've had a drink. That's a miracle in it's self. And what you are doing is a miracle too. Will be praying for you. Big luvs and hugs from Georgia. Ruth p.s. I would love to visit Hawaii. I here it's beautiful.

School officials waited nearly a year after getting complaints that a Queens principal was propositioning male students for oral sex before booting him, The Post has learned.
Although HS for Construction Trades, Engineering and Architecture Principal Quintin Cedeno's alleged behavior was reported to school investigators in late 2008, he was kept at the helm until Oct. 22, 2009.
Only then was Cedeno, 33, reassigned to an administrative office. He admitted to probers that he told boys on the basketball team to "suck" his "d- – -," but claimed he was joking.
Yesterday, the Office of Special Commissioner of Investigations Richard Condon said it had substantiated the allegations and admitted it failed to tell the Education Department for almost a year.
Cedeno admitted to some of the inappropriate conduct, but he denied having solicited sex, probers said.
He did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
School officials plan to fire the untenured principal from his $140,000-a- year job.
Condon referred his findings to the Queens DA's Office.

This Vixen said "I decided to have a Michiana Boudoir Session after I had followed Crystal's Vixens (FYI Crystal's Vixens is Michiana Boudoir Facebook group, join at this link) a little while. I loved the positivity and empowerment for women. That's just what I needed. I've got self confidence problems and I struggle with my body. I'm a bigger girl. All of the positive comments and the way having a shoot done made other women feel was really convincing to me to try it.
Leading up to my Session I wasn't really that nervous to be honest. I kept telling myself, its okay she sees other naked women all the dang time. During the Session I felt relaxed, Crystal and I had a talking problem. (Note from Crystal: it's mostly me. It's almost always me LOL) Unexpectedly, I felt so sexy. I didn't think I would but I kept thinking I can't wait to see his face when he sees this!
After my Session, my make up was done so beautifully that I just wanted to go out so people could see how pretty I looked. I don't say I look good very often, but I looked GOOD. Working with Crystal and hanging out with her was a blast! I want to thank her for making me laugh and having fun with me while we were shooting, for the pep talks and explanation of what we were gonna do. Also, thank her for the beautiful pictures she took of me and for showing me what everyone else sees! Michiana Boudoir is doing amazing things for women! I'm so thankful for empowering, uplifting women like Crystal!"

Meme Watch: Follow the Money
The taxpaying class and the welfare class are one and the same.
"The increasing reliance on taxing higher-income households and targeted social preferences at lower incomes stands in the way of moving to a simpler, flatter tax system."
— R. Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, at a Dec. 10 conference sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute.
Yesterday, Chatterbox disputed Hubbard's analysis by citing an interesting chart published in the Jan. 21 New York Times. The chart (assembled by Times reporter Daniel Altman, who is also an economist) showed that when you consider all taxes at the federal, state, and local level, the U.S. already has a flat tax. Households in each of the five economic quintiles pay, on average, about 17 percent of their income in taxes. Ergo, the tax-the-poor meme's warning that America is being divided into two separate nations—those who pay taxes and those who receive government benefits—is, from a fiscal perspective, bunk.
Today, Chatterbox will demonstrate that the Two Nations warning is bunk from a spending perspective, too.
In a distressingly sympathetic column in the Jan. 27 Newsweek, the usually sensible Robert Samuelson repeats the tax-the-poor line that government spending is increasingly focused on poor people. Here is Samuelson's evidence:
Federal spending has shifted from defense to payments for individuals (Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps, Medicare). In 1955, military spending represented 62 percent of the federal budget. Payments for individuals were 21 percent. By 2001, the figures were reversed: defense, 17 percent; payments for individuals, 61 percent….Not surprisingly, these transfers go heavily to the bottom half of the income spectrum. In 2001, about 60 percent of federal cash payments (retirement, disability, unemployment benefits) went to the poorest 40 percent of Americans, reports the Census Bureau. Noncash programs (food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, public housing) are similarly skewed.
Samuelson's first assertion—that government spending has shifted from defense to entitlements—is undeniable. (The two obvious causes are the expansion of the welfare state in the 1970s and the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s. Neither of these phenomena bear any relationship to the small increase in federal income-tax progressivity that occurred during the 1990s. But we digress.)
But Samuelson's second assertion—that the shift has benefited mainly the "bottom half of the income spectrum"—simply isn't true. Samuelson cites Census data that shows a little more than half of all federal cash payments going to a little less than half of all Americans. The real surprise is not that the poorer half get so much, but that the richer half get so much. Isn't welfare supposed to be for poor people?
Samuelson's Census data does show federal entitlement spending to slightly favor the poor, but the best available data strongly suggests that the Census is wrong. As Phillip Longman and Neil Howe pointed out in a 1992 Atlantic article that Chatterbox never tires of citing, "Cash-income surveys conducted by the Census Bureau are plagued by high rates of underreporting (especially by the wealthy)." This is mainly because retirees do a poor job keeping track of their investment income. (Actually, everybody does a poor job keeping track of their investment income, but retirees don't have salaries, so the low-balling has greater impact.) To address this data problem, the Congressional Budget Office did its own research combining the Census surveys with filings from the Internal Revenue Service. Longman and Howe got their hands on the results, which turned everybody's preconception about entitlement spending on its head:
[T]he most affluent Americans actually collect slightly more from the welfare state than do the poorest Americans. … [In 1991,] U.S. households with incomes over $100,000 received, on average, $5,690 worth of federal cash and in-kind benefits, while the corresponding figure for U.S. households with incomes under $10,000 was $5,560. Quite simply, if the federal government wanted to flatten the nation's income distribution, it would do better to mail all its checks to random addresses.
Sadly, the CBO (which didn't get around publishing these numbers until 1994) hasn't performed a similar distributional analysis of entitlement spending in subsequent years, and nobody else that Chatterbox is aware of has done so, either. So we can't say for certain that entitlement spending continues to favor the wealthy. But anecdotal evidence suggests this problem has gotten worse, not better. As Chatterbox noted last summer, on Aug. 5, David Pace of the Associated Press published an investigation of congressional spending patterns. Pace found that after 1994, when the GOP took over the House of Representatives, government spending, which had previously favored Democratic congressional districts, came to favor Republican congressional districts. What's more, the discrepancy was now 15 times greater (discounting for inflation) than it had been under the Democrats. (You can play with Pace's data here.) Republican constituencies tend to be wealthier than Democratic ones, and this was reflected in the kind of spending Pace found to have declined and the kind he found to have increased. Down went spending on child care food programs, public and Indian housing, food stamps, and disabled coal miners. Up went spending on farmers, businesses, and home mortgage insurance.
In sum, the best evidence we have shows there is no divide between the taxpaying class and the government-benefit-collecting class. We all belong to the taxpaying class, we all belong to the government-benefit-collecting class, and to the extent anyone gets more government cash than anyone else, it's the rich.

Tuki Carter is one of those rare and gifted individuals who inspires and influences others. He is well known and respected as a pioneer in the visual arts as a tattoo artist with his co-founding of City Of Ink in Atlanta, Georgia, with Miya Bailey (view the documentary "Color Outside The Lines", a fascinating look into City Of Ink and the art of Tattooing on YouTube here).
Carter is known for turning skin into canvases with vivid portraits on them for the world to see. He is a part of hip hop history for tattooing the microphone on rapper Canibus, which fueled the infamous beef between him and LL Cool J. His clientele list also includes the likes of Young Jeezy and Usher, among others. [from Tuki Carter biography]
As a rap/hip hop artist, Carter has been building an impressive musical career as well and has enjoyed high profile collaborations with multi-GRAMMY Award nominated rapper, singer/songwriter Wiz Khalifa and multi-GRAMMY Award winning rapper, singer/songwriter, producer Pharrell. His current single release entitled, Good featuring Wiz Khalifa, recently peaked at number six on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists Chart (view chart here). He has a sincere love of his profession and a complete dedication to and passion for his craft. As his biography states, "Through art and music, Tuki Carter has displayed that he is more than an artist, more than an album, art exhibit or tattoo. He has crafted himself into a true social and cultural influence."
I recently had the honor and privilege of interviewing Tuki Carter via phone a few days prior to his Friday, June 27th, 2014, Kokomo, Indiana, tourstop at Centerstage Bar and Grill with Rittz and Raz Simone. [Read "Rittz brings OD Tour featuring Tuki Carter and Raz Simone to Centerstage Kokomo" PREVIEW here].
William Kelly Milionis: Hi Tuki, how are you?
Tuki Carter: Alright!
Kelly: Thank you so very much for this opportunity to chat with you. It really is an honor and privilege to do so. You are currently on the Rittz OD Tour along with Raz Simone, how is that going?
Tuki: Oh, that's nice, nice real good, good energy…cool people. I have nothing to complain about.
Kelly: Your Indiana tourstop finds you at Centerstage Bar and Grill in Kokomo. Have you performed in the area before?
Tuki: Yes, I did. I've performed in that area before, but it was with Wiz [Khalifa] 'Under The Influence Of Music Tour'; in the arena and wasn't in one of the venues in the city.
Kelly: How did your relationship with Wiz Khalifa evolve?
Tuki: The relationship evolved when I met Wiz Khalifa through Rick Ross. I was tattooing Rick Ross. I had to go on the road with him. I was tattooing and would chill out, catch a couple of shows. And he called me when I was in Atlanta and he wanted to film the Super High re-mix video in the tattoo shop that I have called City Of Ink. He brought Wiz by and I met him. I started tattooing Wiz. Him and I got to conversing and started figuring out that we had a lot similar; my father was in the Air Force and his mom was in the Air Force, he was born in Minot, North Dakota and I was born in Minot, North Dakota, on the same Air Force base. We just clicked from there. Ever since then, we've been around each other. It's been about four and a half to five years now.
Kelly: You were born in Minot, North Dakota and raised in Carson, California, and then moved to Atlanta, Georgia. When did you leave Carson for Atlanta?
Tuki: It was around 1998 or 1999. I came to Atlanta and went to school at the Art Institute of Atlanta. And I've been there [Atlanta] ever since. I just recently moved back to California about 3 months ago.
Kelly: While growing up on both coasts (in Carson and Atlanta) who were your influences?
Tuki: I was influenced by both. In Carson, California, where I'm from, we had an artist Raz Kaz. He's one of our artists who came out of Carson. Another artist who comes out of Carson that I was influenced by was this guy named P.E.A.C.E. from the group called Freestyle Fellowship. These were all underground acts. The only act that wasn't so underground was Ray J. Ray J is from Carson and Brandy is from Carson also. So, of course we listened to their music. As far as Atlanta, I just loved their whole culture. It was a predominately black culture that I wasn't used to being in California; you know it's multi-racial. When I got to Atlanta, it was all sort of like different talent, from bass music, to underground hip hop, to commercial things. I latched on to all of them because of the creativity that Atlanta had. At the time when I got there, the West Coast was pretty hard on the music because we had Chronic 2001 with Dr. Dre and all of the artists that participated on the Chronic album. I was already influenced by those, so once I got to Atlanta, I could see the people I was influenced by when I wasn't in LA like Outkast. I got Outkast from LaFace Christmas Album. They came out and I actually got to meet them. The first two days I was in Atlanta, I met Outkast. It was pretty cool. So, of course Atlanta has a lot of influences on my music right now.
Kelly: Do you come from a musical family?
Tuki: Yes, I do come from a musical family. My father plays the trumpet and the saxophone. My oldest brother plays the saxophone pretty well.
Kelly: Do you play a musical instrument?
Tuki: To answer the question (chuckling), I don't know how to play any instruments (more chuckling).
Kelly: You are not only a creative talent musically, but also visually. Many have known of your pioneering work in the Tattoo industry.
Tuki: Yes, I've been in the Tattoo industry for almost 14 years.
Kelly: You've gone from the Tattoo industry into music…
Tuki: Actually, I've always been into the music side. I was in this group called Hollyweerd and it was in 2007, 2008, and 2009. I went on tour with Wiz [Khalifa] on his first headlining tour 'The Waken Baken Tour'. So, music and art, it's always been hand in hand with me.
Kelly: How old were you when you realized you could draw and you became interested in the Tattoo industry?
Tuki: I knew that I could draw when I was like seven or eight. My mom had all these magazines like the Elle Magazine, model magazines like Cosmopolitan. I was looking at Cosmopolitan and drawing all these women all the time. And it started looking to me more and more like the picture. I went to school for art. While I was at school, my business partner, Miya Bailey, was actually a tattoo artist. He was a low level tech at that time, which they call scratchers in the industry. They don't have a lot of knowledge on tattooing. He met the lady named Julia Alfonso who was training artists. While she was training him, he asked me to come by. I showed that I could draw. I showed one of the tattoos and we started training from there. You know within the first ten days if you can tattoo or not. There is a lot that comes with it. Not everybody can do it. But I actually knew it the first couple times.
Kelly: As an artist who is recognized as a pioneer in his industry, who enjoys critical acclaim, continues to rise in popular culture, always pushes boundaries and continues to set and raise the bar, how does it make you feel that you are a positive influence in the community?
Tuki: Ah, it makes me feel good that I'm a positive influence in the community. But, I'm actually a little hard on myself. I strive to be even better than what I am now. I recognize certain things that I'm not paying attention because I'm still trying to better myself. If everybody's along with me on that journey, and they are watching me doing that, and are influenced by that, and they actually get to become what they wanted to be, and whatever they get to do in life, you know the positive route, then I'm all for it. I'm all for that influence; the role model thing. I'm not too much of a wild person. I'm a little wild, but I'm not too much of a wild person to where it would affect any positive things that I'm doing.
Kelly: Your latest track, Good feat. Wiz Khalifa was produced by Mark Parker. How was it working with him?
Tuki: It was cool. I actually worked with Mark Parker through the internet. I met him on twitter and he sent me beats. He sent me something like six beats. I didn't even listen to it in its entirety. I just listened to the first twenty seconds, and I was like, just load it up. I recorded the song directly after I got the e-mail. I'd been sitting on it for a while and it was actually my manager's favorite song. He was waiting for me to drop it so the attention it's gaining now, he's like, I told you so. But, as far as Mark Parker, of course we should have more stuff coming. I'm just waiting for the right beat. I'm very, very picky when it comes to beats.
Kelly: Any aspirations on branching out into acting in feature film or television?
Tuki: That's funny. Yes, I really do want to get into the acting field. I do have aspirations to become one because I have a sense of humor I guess that people like. So, it would really have to be one of those funny movies. I'm not sure if I'm going to do action or serious movies because I like to smile and that would kind of mess me up. But, as far as acting, I am already open for it. If anybody wants to send me something to look at, I'll do what I have to do to try and get in there to land the role. I'm always down for something like that.
Kelly: Thank you for the interview. I wish you all the best. I look forward to the possibility of seeing you on that GRAMMY Award stage one day.
Tuki: Oh man, I appreciate that. I hope to myself! That's great. Thank you.

That about says it all! Especially when one might wish to stockpile ammo against price increases, the pricing and packaging against weather / climate issues certainly helps much! That said, in order to eliminate any possibility of the package / "battle pack" being sold with nothing but garbage in it, a heavy CLEAR plastic package with the requisite printing on it would eliminate any possibility of subterfuge!

If you have succeeded in persuading your city/county/township to initiate a community survey of public services, you will have learned that your library is ranked among its most valuable. This information will help you build a compelling case for decision makers. To further build your case you will want some additional data. Statistical data you already keep is vital in any discussion about budgets, but it can't convey the inevitable personal impact of reducing library services. For that reason, new data must round out your case. This is the time to use every tool in your toolbox to build a strong foundation for your advocacy message. Once laid, that foundation - and your craftsmanship- will create the most effective and best-delivered advocacy message.
Your Library and its Community
Your library, at its essence, is a community place. It is something special to everyone in your community who uses it, and even to those who don't. In 2009, over 25 million Americans reported using their library more than 20 times in the last year. (source: [PDF] ALA Office for Research and Statistics: "A Perfect Storm Brewing")
Libraries and their communities enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship: The library provides resources to support the community, and the community devotes a portion of its resources to support the library. Building a foundation for your library's advocacy message means connecting library services directly to the issues that your community feels are the highest priorities.
Ten BIG Reasons Your Library Is an Essential Place
- It's your community's best pre-school learning place.
- It complements your schools and is the parent-preferred after-school place for children and teens.
- It's the place that many people in your community know has all the resources need for job searches.
- It's a place to access information in a variety of formats, from print to electronic and everything in between.
- It's a place where community member gather: for story times, book clubs, community meetings, classes, job counseling, and so much more.
- It's the place for adult literacy needs, from getting a GED, to college information, to resources for immigrants learning English.
- It's the place to access e-government services.
- It's the place for equal Internet and information access for anyone in your community.
- It's the place to get professional help if you want to assess the accuracy and relevance of information you find.
- It's a place for lifelong learning for everyone, on an equal basis and free of charge.
When you look at the list above, you'll realize that a great deal of library usage is tied to the Internet. ALA has published a series of "Issues Briefs," to help you think about the connection between big community issues and Internet accessibility through public libraries. Visit the link below to learn how to tie your library to some of your community's most pressing needs:

Your Data Matters
What data matters most if you are trying to preserve as much of your library's budget as possible?
ALA Frontline Advocacy - "Put your Data to Work..."
1. Use the data you already collect, and examine it over the past few years. This data is one of the best tools in your toolbox. For example:
- How has your collection grown? In size? In format?
- How many visitors do you have annually?
- How many items do you loan annually?
- How many library card holders do you have?
- What is the size of your staff?
- How many requests for assistance do they fulfill each year?
- How many hours are you open each week?
- How many public access computers do you offer?
- How many times a year are they used?
- How many job seekers used your library last year?
- What kind of special services and/or programs do you have for children and teens?
- How are those used?
- How many adult programs do you offer?
- How are those used?
Think about collecting new data. It's not difficult or time-consuming, and it can yield you some valuable insights because it will bring you some "softer" data.
2. Gather new data easily. Launch a community survey of your own, asking residents to help you plan library services by giving you personal feedback. The survey should be available for a two-to-three week period on your library's website, and you should have paper copies available for people to complete in the library as well. Professional-looking online surveys can be easily compiled using online resources such as http://www.surveymonkey.com/, http://www.zoomerang.com/, and http://www.freeonlinesurveys.com/, for example.
What do you want to know? Here are 15 ideas to get you started:
- How frequently do you or a family member use [your library's name]?
- Why do you use the library?
- Which branch(es) do you use most (if applicable)?
- What services are the most important to you?
- What kinds of materials are most important to you?
- Are you able to get help from staff when you need it?
- What kind of staff help matters the most to you?
- Is the library clean? Safe? Welcoming?
- Do you have to wait for a computer?
- How important are classes or programming to you?
- Do the library's current hours meet your needs?
- Which hours are most important to you for the library to be open?
- Where would you like to see the library focus its resources – collection, staff, computers & software, classes & programs?
- How would you rank the benefits of [your library's name] compared to other tax-supported services: top/middle/bottom?
- General demographic information (age, gender, ethnicity, zip code, income)
3. Encourage testimonials from library users. Tell people's stories! If your statistics are hard numbers, and your survey of residents is a little softer, then people's personal stories are softer still. They put a face on all the other kinds of information. Most people enjoy talking about their experiences. Invite individuals of all ages to express what the library means to them. They can express themselves in any way they wish – prose, poetry, art, music, video. Talk to:
- The parent or grandparent who brings a preschooler in for books and stories and who remembers his or her parent or grandparent doing the same.
- The kids who consider your library the perfect after-school hangout place.
- The teens who flock to your social networking sites or your bean bag chairs.
- The teacher who uses your library's collection to supplement her school library.
- The middle-aged man who attended your class on resume writing and then found a job.
- The family who saves money by renting their music, games and movies free at your library instead of paying rental fees elsewhere.
- You get the idea. Now add your own ideas here.
Share these stories as you develop your library's plan for the future, and create an effective advocacy message at the same time.

NORWICH The United Ways 2006 campaign is off to a strong start. As of Oct. 5, the group has already raised $42,000, and that is before they include the business blitz that will be beginning soon.
A small donation can have a big impact, said Community Campaign Chair Charlie McMullen. He explained that donating $1 a week could pay for 10 days of daycare subsidy for a low-income family, 100 meals at an area food pantry, or 12 drug prescriptions for families without medical insurance. If every person donated $1 a week, gave up one soda, the results would be amazing, McMullen said.
McMullen explained that most questions people have about the United Way can be answered by taking a few minutes to look at either the pledge form or the brochure. The brochure has everything you need to know, McMullen said. Where your money goes and the programs it is used for are in the brochure, and the pledge form allows you to designate what you want to give and who you would like to receive it. Everyone has their favorite charities, but we help them all. He explained that if people have further questions, they can call the United Way at 334-8815.

Peggy Robbins, Office of Management Programs (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-1223.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. "Collection of information" is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
Medical Device Labeling Regulations—21 CFR Parts 800, 801, and 809 (OMB Control No. 0910-0485)—Extension
Section 502 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 352), among other things, establishes requirements for the label or labeling of a medical device so that it is not misbranded and subject to regulatory action. Certain provisions of section 502 of the act require that manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices disclose information about themselves or their devices on the labels or labeling of the devices. Section 502(b) of the act requires that, if the device is in a package, the label must contain the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor and an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents. Section 502(f) of the act provides that the labeling of a device must contain adequate directions for use. FDA may grant an exemption from the adequate directions for use requirement, if FDA determines that adequate directions for use are not necessary for the protection of the public health.
FDA regulations in parts 800, 801, and 809 (21 CFR parts 800, 801, and 809) require manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices to disclose to health professionals and consumers specific information about themselves or their devices on the label or labeling of their devices. FDA issued these regulations under the authority of sections 201, 301, 502, and 701 of the act (21 U.S.C. 321, 331, 352, and 371). Most of the regulations in parts 800, 801, and 809 derive from the requirements of section 502 of the act, which provides, in part, that a device shall be misbranded if, among other things, its label or labeling fails to bear certain required information concerning the device, is false or misleading in any particular way, or fails to contain adequate directions for use.
Section 800.12 requires that packages of contact lens cleaning solutions include a tamper-resistant feature to prevent malicious adulteration. Sections 800.10(a)(3) and 800.12(c) require that the label of contact lens cleaning solutions contain a prominent statement alerting consumers to the tamper-resistant feature.
Section 800.10(b)(2) requires that the labeling of liquid ophthalmic preparations packed in multiple-dose containers include information as to duration of use and necessary warnings to afford adequate protection from contamination during use.
Section 801.1 requires that the label of a device in package form contain the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.
Section 801.5 requires that the labeling of devices include directions under which the layman can use a device safely and for the purposes for which it is intended. Section 801.4 defines "intended use". Where necessary, the labeling should include: (1) Statements of all conditions, purposes, or uses for which the device is intended, unless the device is a prescription device subject to the requirements of § 801.109; (2) quantity of dose; (3) frequency of administration or application; (4) duration of administration or application; (5) time of administration, e.g. in relation to meals, onset of symptoms, etc.; (6) route of method or application; and (7) preparation for use.
Section 801.61 requires that the principal display panel of an over-the-counter (OTC) device in package form must include a statement of the identity of the device. The statement of the identity of the device must include the common name of the device followed by an accurate statement of the principal intended actions of the device.
Section 801.62 requires that the label of an OTC device in package form must include a declaration of the net quantity of contents. The label must express the net quantity in terms of weight, measure, numerical count, or a combination of numerical count and weight, measure, or size.
Section 801.109 establishes labeling requirements for prescription devices. A prescription device is defined as a device which, because of its potential for harmful effect, the method of its use, Start Printed Page 74530or the collateral measures necessary to its use, is not safe except under the supervision of a practitioner licensed by law to use the device and, therefore, for which adequate directions for use by a layperson cannot be developed.
The label of the device must include: (1) The statement "Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a '______'". The blank is to be filled in by a term such as "physician," "dentist," or other appropriate term; and (2) the method of its application or use.
Labeling must include information for use, including indications, effects, routes, methods, frequency and duration of administration, and any relevant hazards, contraindications, side effects, and precautions under which practitioners licensed by law to administer the device can use the device safely and for the purpose for which it is intended, including all purposes for which it is advertised or represented. Information may be omitted from the dispensing package if, but only if, the article is a device for which directions, hazards, warnings, and other information are commonly known to practitioners licensed by law to use the device.
Section 801.110 establishes a labeling requirement for a prescription device delivered to the ultimate purchaser or user upon the prescription of a licensed practitioner. The device must be accompanied by labeling bearing the name and address of the licensed practitioner and the directions for use and cautionary statements, if any, contained in the order.
Section 801.405 establishes labeling requirements for articles intended for lay use in repairing and refitting dentures. The labeling must: (1) Limit directions for use for denture repair kits to emergency repair pending unavoidable delay in obtaining professional reconstruction of the denture; (2) limit directions for use for denture reliners, pads, and cushions to temporary refitting pending unavoidable delay in obtaining professional reconstruction of the denture; and (3) contain the word "emergency" preceding and modifying each indication-for-use statement for denture repair kits and the word "temporary" preceding and modifying each indication-for-use statement for reliners, pads, and cushions.
Section 801.410(f) requires that results of impact tests and description of the test method and apparatus be kept for a period of 3 years.
Section 801.410(f) is designed to protect the eyeglass wearer from potential eye injury resulting from shattering of ordinary eyeglass lenses and requires that eyeglasses and sunglasses be fitted with impact-resistant lenses. Examination of data available on the frequency of eye injuries resulting from the shattering of ordinary crown glass lenses indicates that the use of such lenses constitutes an avoidable hazard to the eye of the wearer. According to the Vision Council of America, 60 percent of the population, or 161 million Americans, wear prescription eyewear; 81 percent have eyeglasses, 3 percent have contact lenses only and 16 percent have both eyeglasses and contact lenses.
Section 801.420(c) requires that the manufacturers or distributors of hearing aids develop a User Instructional Brochure, which accompanies the device and is provided to the prospective user by the dispenser of the hearing aid. The brochure must contain detailed information on the use and maintenance of the hearing aid.
Section 801.421(b) requires the hearing aid dispenser to provide the prospective user a copy of the User Instructional Brochure and an opportunity to review the comments with him/her orally or in the predominant method of communication used during the sale.
Section 801.421(c) requires the hearing aid dispenser to provide, upon request, to the prospective purchaser of any hearing aid (s)he dispenses, a copy of the User Instructional Brochure or the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor from whom the brochure may be obtained.
Section 801.421(d) requires the hearing aid dispenser to retain copies of all physician statements or any waivers of medical evaluation for 3 years from the time of dispensing.
Section 801.435 requires condom manufacturers to include an expiration date in the labeling of the condom. The manufacturer must support the expiration date by data from quality control tests demonstrating physical and mechanical integrity of three random lots of the same product which were stored under accelerated and real time conditions.

Welcome back to part three of my series, Trip to Hong Kong! If you haven't already, check out part I and part II. Apologies for my inconsistence in blogging lately, my dear Grandpa passed away last week which honestly put blogging very far down on my list of priorities but here's the story you're all here for!
Mum and I were originally supposed to meet up with my cousins, Aunt and Uncle on this day but unfortunately there was a bit of a miscommunication so we were left with zero plans. After having our daily Yum Cha with my grandparents in the morning, Mum decided to take me off the main island to visit Cheung Chau which very quickly became one of my favourite places in Hong Kong.
I'm sure many of you have not heard of Cheung Chau island as it's a tiny island located southwest of Hong Kong's main island. In cantonese, 'cheung' actually means long so the island essentially means 'long island' due to its shape. It was traditionally a fishing village like most of Hong Kong before becoming a residential location. My mum actually used to live there! The main form of transport is cycling in Cheung Chau as the 'streets' are so narrow a car couldn't possibly fit. They do have mini ambulances, police cars and fire engines designed to fit these streets however.
There are a lot of things to do in Cheung Chau despite it's size (a lot of which are related to eating). There's plenty of street food like fish balls, mochi, snow cones and egg waffles as well as some lovely seafood restaurants. There's also a nice little beach on Cheung Chau, a temple and a hiking trail you can follow. I actually ended up returning to Cheung Chau with my friend as I loved it so much! Plenty of festivals occur through out the year such as the Cheung Chau bun festival.
Despite all the amazing things that happen during the day, Cheung Chau also has the nick name 'Suicide Island' when the sun goes down. A short walk off to the remote mountains of the island, there are several haunted houses, one named 紅梅 (Hung Mei). There's also an old resort there that has seen 13 deaths from 1989 to the year 2000. Naturally, stories like these come with sightings and superstition. There's also a half submerged cargo ship that wash up on the shores of Cheung Chau, an old pirates cave and an old abandoned hospital from the 19th century.
Whether you choose to believe these stories or not, Cheung Chau island is still a place I enjoy visiting very much. It does not feel at all like the concrete jungle of Hong Kong. I mean there's cats that wonder around, the view is beautiful and and there's so much food to eat! Getting to the island is cheap and easy too, it costs next to nothing to board a ferry which run frequently. Somewhere I'd definitely recommend you visit if you want a break from the city life.
Have you ever visited Cheung Chau? What are your thoughts on ghost stories?

How Sea Snail Venom Could Be The Next Opioid Alternative
In the midst of an opioid crisis, researchers are trying to find alternatives to opioid pain medications. The most recent interest? Crown cone sea snails.
When pharmaceuticals don't work, researchers are turning to nature for the discovery of safe and effective medicines. Recently, a few natural alternatives are proving to be possible replacements to prescription opioid painkillers. Research is only in preliminary phases, yet preclinical and historical evidence suggests that new modern medicines may come from the earth. Most recently, research from the University of Utah suggests that a sea snail may hold the next alternative to prescription opioids.
Is sea snail venom the next opioid alternative?
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that a compound found in the venom of a specific kind of sea snail that may have particularly potent pain-blocking abilities.
While opioid pain medications were originally derived from the opium poppy, innovations in pharmaceutical medicines have created opioid painkillers 50 times stronger than heroin.
Now, scientists are looking for safe and effective alternatives for these dangerous medications. The authors explained that their study,
[…] addresses the need to phase out opioids as the major analgesic drugs for moderate to severe chronic pain.
The compound in the venom is known as RglA4, and it has previously been successful in rodent trials. Now, for the first time, scientists think they understand how it might work.
The venom comes from the Conus regius, more commonly known as the crown cone snail.
The crown cone snail is native to the Carribean region, and it uses its venom to paralyze its prey before feasting. While one particular compound in the venom has potent pain-fighting properties, the venom itself can be harmful to humans. In a case report, a sting from a crown cone snail caused temporary paralysis in a human arm.
Interestingly, when researchers began investigating this venom, they found that RglA4 is can suppress nerve pain, which could be beneficial for those with diabetes and cancer. It apparently does this by tripping pain receptors that are not affected by opioids, potentially blocking pain for up to 72 hours.
Plants for pain
This finding is just one of a couple promising new findings on opioid alternatives. Cannabis, of course, is frequently used by pain patients hoping to find effective relief while avoiding the negative side effects of pharmaceutical medications.
Though no studies have pitted cannabis against opioids in pain trials, research has shown that medical cannabis laws are associated with reduced overdose rates.
Another opioid alternative that has made headlines recently is kratom, which is a leaf native to Southeast Asia that is related to coffee. Back in September, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) tried to ban kratom as a schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.
Banning kratom would have criminalized it in a manner similar to cannabis. However, the tree leaf has been used as a stimulant and pain medication for decades and is even has been used to help patients with opioid addiction wean off of the drug.
Fortunately, after many phone calls from scientists and kratom advocates, the DEA decided against criminalizing kratom. Though, the plant may be scheduled properly at some point, after more research on the plant determines whether or not the leaf is safe for common consumption.
