River Crossing Playback Theatre
About Us
River Crossing Theatre is an ensemble in the lower Susquehanna River Valley, trained to build community through the dramatic portrayal of real-life stories. Through the art of improvisational forms like Playback Theatre, audiences participate in creating a new story that recognizes and celebrates both the differences and the common ground in our communities. Formed in 2007 to serve the Healing York Initiative (York, PA), the ensemble draws from members primarily from Lancaster, York and Dauphin.
Playback Theatre is an improvisational form in which members of the audience tell stories and watch them played back on the spot. As the stories come alive on stage, audience and players become entwined in a community dialogue that is both uniquely personal and powerfully universal. Often performed around social themes, the performances and workshops of Playback Theatre can be a vital catalyst for both challenging and celebrating the life of community groups, religious groups, professional groups, family gatherings and more.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip --Israel and Hamas began a 12-hour humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza Saturday after the efforts of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry failed to produce a longer truce aimed at ending nearly three weeks of fighting.
The temporary lull appeared unlikely to change the course of the current hostilities amid ominous signs that the war was spilling over into the West Bank and a warning by Israel's defense minister that it might soon expand its Gaza ground operation "significantly."
The Israeli military said the 12-hour pause began Saturday at 8 a.m. (1:00 a.m. EST, 0500 GMT). It said troops "shall respond if terrorists choose to exploit" the lull to attack Israeli soldiers or civilians. The military also said "operational activities to locate and neutralize tunnels in the Gaza Strip will continue."
Israel launched a major aerial offensive in Gaza on July 8 and later sent ground troops into the Hamas-ruled territory in a bid to halt Palestinian rocket fire and destroy a vast network of cross-border tunnels used by militants to stage attacks.
Previous humanitarian cease-fires have been cut short by fighting. Palestinian civilians have been hardest hit over the past 18 days. Nearly 900 Palestinians, mainly civilians, have been killed, as well as 39 Israelis, including 37 soldiers. A Thai worker in Israel was also killed.
The lull was agreed upon by both sides after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry failed to broker a weeklong truce as a first step toward a broader deal.
"We are looking for a long cease-fire, not only 12 Hours," said Gaza resident Mohammad Abu Shaaban. "We hope the cease-fire will continue and not to return back to the killing and destruction."
Israel wants more time to destroy tunnels and rocket launching sites in Gaza, while the territory's Hamas rulers want international guarantees that an Israeli and Egyptian border blockade will be lifted.
The Israeli government has also begun suggesting that Gaza be demilitarized as a condition for a permanent cease-fire so that Hamas cannot rearm itself ahead of yet another round of fighting. The current war is the third in Gaza in just over five years.
In the West Bank, which had been relatively calm for years, protests raged Friday against Israel's Gaza operation and the rising casualty toll there. In the West Bank, at least six Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, hospital officials said.
Gaza militants have fired close to 2,500 rockets at Israel since July 8, exposing most of Israel's population to an indiscriminate threat that has killed three civilians.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said Friday that Israel's military would continue to strike Hamas hard.
"At the end of the operation, Hamas will have to think very hard if it is worth it to taunt us in the future," Yaalon was quoted as telling soldiers manning an Iron Dome anti-missile battery. "You need to be ready for the possibility that very soon we will order the military to significantly broaden ground activity in Gaza."
Heller reported from Tel Aviv.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -Steve Jobs, chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios, stunned the Walt Disney Co. and Wall Street last week by abruptly ending negotiations with the Burbank, Calif., entertainment giant to extend one of Hollywood's richest relationships, one that has produced five straight hit films.
Disney executives and many independent financial analysts said Pixar was demanding too much, including sole ownership of the films the two had made under the existing pact, such as the Toy Story series and Monsters, Inc.
But sources close to Eisner and Apple Computer Inc. founder Jobs said the stunning split was less about the math of the deal than about the personalties involved. Associates say the strong-willed executives let their differences cloud their objectivity in a partnership in which the spoils were evenly split.

Hi all, bought an x5 a couple months ago and so far have had my ups n downs but I have fallen in love with the X and I am looking to expand my knowledge on things I can do for myself and troubleshoot problems.one thing I have noticed is I cant see pics on the forum, is it a problem on my side?
Hi and welcome can you see my car
When you say they don't stay closed, is it that they close and then fold back out again on their own,If so do a search for microswitches on the forum, as this has been covered before.Or is the motor making a noise but failing to close one mirror?Mine has started to play up on the drivers side. The mirror wouldn't fold properly and it wouldn't lock manually into its normal out position.Eventually by keeping the button pressed something moved and it now locks in the out position okI ha e un coded the mirrors, so they don't auto close on the key fobI was worried something would break and leave me with a big repair bill if it was folding the mirrors every time.😬
Hi and welcome to the forumYou X5 looks pretty tidy.Re the bm54 unit As the screen is just a display it's worth checking the connection there from the rear first. Then check. those in the rear near side boot panel where the main unit is located just in case something has worked loose or a connection got knocked, or poss water is in there. Also it's worth checking the fuses in front and rear just in case one has blown as that could be a quick and easy fix.However from doing a quick search these seem to suffer from this prob with the amp failing, it depends how good you are with repairs, or finding someone local who can repair it, or it may be easier to get a working second hand unit or go for an upgrade? Do a quick search and have a read, there is a chap over here who does repairs to them and upgrades the unit as welll but the postage cost could be too much to send over and back.Graeme

Cheap Chinese Chisels - Good Value - Or Just Plain Junk?
They are multi-branded and ubiquitous - racked on shelves in discount stores, bundled in hundreds at Sunday Markets, sold on the internet by the thousands, and packaged in boxes at every hardware store in the country.
I have seldom even given them time of day - let alone taken them seriously. Funny how end of financial year sales can trigger a person's consciousness to think in a completely different way.
I was in our local big green hardware store last week (because it has a toilet and ........ never mind!) and I had to pass the GOING CHEAP sales trolley. There it was - a box of Trojan bevelled edge bench chisels for $15.
Now, a set of five Veritas bench chisels sells for $295 plus freight, and a set of five Lie Nielsens is $340. A set of six Ultimax Harold and Saxons will set you back $750.
For less than $4 each, these seemed insanely priced - even if they were junk. If that turns out to be the case, I could always use them to open paint tins.
To say that my expectations of these chisels were low, is almost akin to the hopes that supporters have for the success of the Parramatta Eels and the Western Sydney Giants this year.
So, off to the checkout to part with some small change.
You know that these have a lifetime warranty quipped the checkout chap.
Yeah, sure, as soon as they break, their lifetime is over - thought I as I walked out the door.
Here's what was in the box - four bevelled edge chisels sized 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch. On the front - precision ground for easy cutting ......! Hmmm, the grinding might be precise, but it was done with a fairly coarse grinder - look at those striations on the back of the blade.
So, first task will be to flatten the backs of all four chisels.
The bevels that create the cutting edge were indeed precision ground, and merely needed a touch up on the fine oilstone, followed by a honing on a hard white arkansas stone. In both cases I use a kerosene/oil mix of 3/1 for lubrication.
The handles are made from red polycarbonate, and can take a beating. There is a black rubberised material on both sides to aid hand use and provide grip. The blade has a type of socketted tang connection to the handle, which is moulded onto it.
Sadly, I discovered the hard way that the side edges of the back of the blade were quite sharp - a by product of the precision grinding no doubt. Nevertheless, while paring, it is my custom to support the blade in my left hand and slide it forwards into the cut with my right. My left index finger sported a band-aid for the rest of the day.
All of the blades need the edges relieved on the oilstone to prevent this occuring again.
So - how good are they?
An easy test that anyone can perform on a sharpened chisel - is to see how well it handles the paring of end grain. I tried paring blackbutt, rose gum, spongy pine, and even western red cedar. These latter two are likely to simply fold under dull chisels. No trouble at all. Above is a sample series of cuts in black wattle - like a hot knife through butter.
They even come with plastic blade guards to keep them sharp and protect one's fingers.
Will these chisels slice through jarrah and gidgee all day - don't know - probably not, but what chisels will. I usually don't use those timbers, and neither do the majority of woodworkers, I'd venture to suggest. For the kinds of woodworking that most of us do, most of the time, these chisels will not only be fine, they will perform very well.
Clearly they aren't junk - if anything they are an absolute bargain - even at full retail price. On sale, they are a steal, and they would not be out of place in any workshop, or as a set in a mobile tool chest.
...... and happy woodworking to all ........

Tom an excellent right up. I last year purchased a set of Aldi chisels very similar only difference is they are HSS and again good enough for me and what I do. I do have my dad's old chisels all of course have seen some grinding honing in their time but still stand up to what ever needs to be done. I do like those handles on the Trojan and will check them out.ReplyDeleteReplies

I bought a four chisel set on sale from harbor freight... six bucks as I recall.... they are almost my go to chisels now, im totally impressed. edge retention is equal to or very close to my two cherries and narex.Delete
also like the life time guarantee. Having broken several of these el cheapo Chinese no names without really abusing them it is nice to hear that some brands are worth using. Off to Bunnings to get a set. $46 for a set of 6 sizes - doesn't seem excessive if they do last. Thanks for the write up.ReplyDelete

I can't believe this 9+lb bundle of love is 9 years old! He is still the most caring, loving, tender, football/baseball/any sport loving kid. He is smart and so well behaved. He tells the longest stories ever. He will help his sister with anything. He would wear athletic clothes 24/7. He thinks his daddy hung the moon. His teachers always seem to love him. He is so eager to please. He memorizes sport stats/schedules/players. He watches SportCenter instead of cartoons on Saturday morning. He can tell a lie with a straight face. He would choose sweets over anything else. He can be a little OCD. He wants to be like his big brother. He is the middle child that we constantly worry about. ;) He is our Baby Crew Crew.
Today he is 9. We started the day with presents and a McDonalds breakfast. Then moved on to lunch at Chuck E. Cheese with Pop Pop and Ci Ci, Uncle Kyle, Aunt Melissa and the twins. The we celebrated his cousin's birthday at Sky Zone, then rushed home to greet five of his best buddies at our house for a sleepover. Chad took the boys to Incredible Pizza for a few games and go karts...then they are headed back here for pizza and junk food and a night of fun. I've already started in on the Sangria, so don't worry about me. ;)
Here are the rest of his birthday cookies...
We love you, Crew Crew!

Today is Crew's birthday and his favorite player is JJ Watt....so what else would I make??....JJ Watt cookies!
I've had these in my head ever since we went to a Texans game earlier this year and the kids got the JJ Watt stuffed doll. I thought "I could make that into a cookie!" I immediately asked Truly Mad Plastics to make me a cutter. (The Texans & foam finger cutters are also from TMP. ) But, I haven't had a chance to actually make the cookies, until now! It was my first time to try my hand at a realistic face. It was hard! But, I'm happy with how these turned out for my first try! I think Crew and his friends will enjoy eating JJ Watt!!

From the March 2010 PDF:
For the sake of class this month lets pretend your paper trimmer is broken....your punches, die- cutting machines, templates....all broken. All you have to cut paper with is your good ol' trusty scissors. Sure, all those things I listed sometimes make scrapbooking a bit easier, but how many times have you spent at least 10 minutes looking for one of them? I'm not going to tell you how much time I spend looking for things. This month, lets let loose a little and cut by hand. Now, you might be thinking that you have to be able to draw complex shapes and paper piecing patterns, not true. If you can, good for you, go for it! But I'm just talking about basic and simple shapes. I think you'll be really surprised at how this will make your page 'yours'. A little more handmade, a little more character, a little more lovely.
To make your own shapes first choose the patterned paper you want to use, turn it over and sketch the shape. It usually takes me a few sketches to get it just right, but that's okay, no one can see the back! And then cut it out. To add a bit of dimension to the pieces I cut I adhered them with pop dots and also lightly inked the edges. You could also outline the shapes with a black pen, machine stitch, faux stitch, etc...
If you are uncomfortable sketching circles or scallops you could always start with a punch. For example, punch the circle then use your scissors to trim it down a bit. Then you will end up with a circle that looks hand cut and is close to a perfect circle. The beauty of hand cutting is that it's not supposed to be perfect!
What shapes can you cut for your page? Flowers, stars, hearts, squares, rectangles, birds, butterflies, cars, houses...... And you know what's great about cutting your own embellishments? You can make them ANY size you want!

from the February 2010 PDF:
How can you dress up your layout with simple strips of Patterned Paper?
A million and one ways! Wide strips, skinny strips, horizontal, vertical, strips cut into a shape, tone on tone strips, strips with the same pattern but different colors, ....you get the idea! Strips are one of the easiest ways to use patterned papers, especially those that you find a bit busy to use in large doses. Most of my layouts aren't done until I have a skinny strip of striped paper on it somewhere.
This month I pushed the strip a little further....Instead of just cutting a 1⁄4" strip, I cut 3⁄4" strips and tri-folded them. The inspiration came from the ʻpaper' bowls, vases, and other decor I've seen. This added a bit of extra texture and interest to the layout, just what I was looking for!
By simply folding these strips of paper I have created an interesting embellishment/ background element for my layout. I had first intended on covering a 10" x 10" piece of chipboard, but the folding became more time consuming than I had time for. So I trimmed the chipboard to 3" x 10" and covered it. Much faster! This would be an easy thing to work on while watching a movie. I was trying to work during nap time....so the quicker the better, especially when just as effective for the layout.

In an effort to 'save' some of my work that used to be on 2peas I'm going to publish my Patterned Paper Every Which Way Class. It was actually my first monthly class on 2peas...before the video days. There was a new layout each month featuring an idea on how to use patterned paper creatively. There is also a PDF with instructions for each page. Although the products are more than likely no longer available...the ideas are still applicable. I hope you enjoy the journey through 2010!
Once I get all 12 lessons published you can click on the link in the right sidebar to see them all in one place. Or use this link.
From the January 2010 PDF:
Patterned paper is really the coolest scrapbook supply out there. It's versatility is endless....and that's what we're going to be exploring in this class. This month we are using the patterned paper as an embellishment. To do this I chose a patterned paper with a well defined patterned, one I could cut out. Bold flowers really work well, but there are many other patterns you could use. Another great thing about using a patterned paper as your embellishment...it's very economical. If I had used chipboard pieces or even stickers for this layout it would have taken two or three packages probably. Instead I used a sheet of paper!

Remember those wedding shower cookies that I did a while back? Well, time for the wedding! The bride sent me her inspiration board for the wedding and said she definitely wanted to do some mason jar cookies with flowers. Her color palette was soft and creamy. I created about 100 full size cookies for her as well as about 50 mini cookies.
Here are a few pictures of samplings from each set...

Last year I got kinda busy with things and let my Scentsy drop. I had enough stockpiled to last me a while. I continually got asked if I still sold it though. So after putting in the last of one of my favorite scents....and loving how good my house smelled...I decided to get reinstated. So, if your stash has dwindled like mine you can go here and get more! My site address is the same as before if you still have it in your bookmarks. I've got an open party "She's Back!"
January is Bring Back My Bar month....there are 20 scents that were voted as favorites and will only be available through the end of the month. Here is the flyer:
I have samples of all current scents as well as the BBMB scents. If you are local, stop by and smell! If you aren't local the descriptions given online are really very good. If you'd like to host and online party let me know! I can get it set up & create a Facebook Event for you.
Thanks so much for your support!

It's been a slow cookie week...which is a nice break from my late nights in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the creative process of the cookies, but it's good for my sanity to have a bit of a break. I think I forgot how happy scrapbooking makes me. I know my supplies are about a year old. And the pictures are about the same. But the colors, textures, and memories....all fresh and happy. Thanks for welcoming me back to the scrapbooking world!!

Administration Seeking Momentum for Clean Energy Standard
By EVAN LEHMANN of ClimateWire
Published: January 27, 2011

- Why a Flooded Australia Will Probably Boost Soaring Energy and Food Prices
President Obama and key members of the administration fanned the nation yesterday to promote his plans to expand clean energy initiatives, moving quickly to build momentum behind a key agenda item pitched to a national audience on Tuesday.
The effort contrasts with Obama's low-key approach last summer, when Senate Democrats were struggling to advance climate legislation that collapsed before midterm elections. Obama now is rallying workers in solar and wind plants and using campaign-style appearances to underscore the urgency around a clean energy standard.
"We need to get behind innovation," Obama said at Orion Energy Systems in Manitowoc, Wis. "That's how we'll meet the goal I set last night and make sure 80 percent of America's electricity comes from clean energy sources by 2035."
"That is a goal that we can meet," he added. "That is a goal we must meet."
Obama chose a potent backdrop to emphasize the energy initiatives (pdf) he announced in the State of the Union address. After a damaging defeat in the midterm elections, in which Obama's party suffered because of high unemployment, the president is connecting jobs to clean energy.
Orion, which manufactures efficient commercial lighting and solar photovoltaic systems, had one employee on the factory floor in 2004. Now, the company has 250 workers and is planning to hire another 50 soon.
In Indiana, meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden visited an electric car battery plant owned by Ener1 Inc. to underscore Obama's plan to put 1 million low-emission cars on the road by 2015. The president also proposed shifting a $7,500 tax break available to those who buy electric cars into a rebate. The money would be given to motorists when they drive their new vehicle off the lot.
The president faces political obstacles in enacting his plan. The clean energy standard is only an outline that encourages Congress to promote renewable and nuclear power, as well as "efficient natural gas" and coal using carbon capture and sequestration technology, which is not yet used commercially.
Thousands of nuclear reactors?
The standard's diverse portfolio of fuels could attract lawmakers whose districts generate any of those energies. But it's unclear if Republicans -- especially newcomers attuned to the tea party -- would be willing to enact a government mandate that forces utilities to derive a certain percentage of their electricity from specific fuel sources. They might call it big government, even though many of them promote nuclear power.
The details will matter. And they appear elusive. Obama's clean energy outline favors sources like wind, solar and nuclear over "clean coal" and natural gas. Those fossil fuel energies, which emit some greenhouse gases, would receive "partial credits" under a clean energy standard that may allow utilities to trade energy credits earned by using low-carbon power sources, according to a White House fact sheet.
The plan also calls for tightened efficiency standards on things like household appliances, and includes the Home Star program, a $6 billion proposed program to encourage homeowners to save energy through insulation, new mechanical systems and retrofits. Those programs could offset higher energy prices and create jobs, supporters say.
Obama's plan has so far been generally heralded by his party and its special interest groups, although some voices of dissension, outside of Republicans, are rising to the surface.
"If we use nuclear power as [a] clean energy solution to climate change, we're going to have to build thousands of reactors," said Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. "It is certain if the U.S. includes nuclear as clean energy, others are going to do it and it will become the global norm, and then we will be headed to severe problems."
Chu: 'We can achieve that'
The group opposes nuclear power because of its radioactive waste, heavy use of water, and potential as terrorist targets.
Oil and gas industry trade groups have also criticized the president's plan, which proposes ending tax breaks for oil and gas producers and using that revenue to develop clean energy technologies.
Bruce Vincent, chairman of the Independent Petroleum Association of America, warned of "job-crushing" taxes on small operators that could result in layoffs and higher gasoline prices.
"The president's massive tax hike proposal ... would cripple our industry's ability to compete, leaving struggling American consumers more vulnerable to unstable energy prices at the pump and in their homes, and deepening our nation's dependence on often unfriendly region's of the world to fuel our economy," Vincent said in a statement.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu, meanwhile, told a town hall meeting yesterday that the nation is about halfway to the president's goal of deriving 80 percent of the nation's electricity from clean energy. Current use of nuclear, hydropower, natural gas and renewable energy accounts for about 40 percent, he said.
"So if you put it in that context, is it ambitious? Yes," Chu said. "Is it over the top, we can't achieve that? No. We can achieve that."

Tap The BabyArchived
Get into the fascinating world of the cutest and most overcrowded kinder garden of the planet.You will be a lovely employee of this big kinder garden where you will have to take care of many hyper active children.Your task is to make them feel at home and to make them sleep once in a while. The problem is that there are always new children coming into the room that want to play, run, jump, scream and just don't want to keep quiet. Try to make these noisy babies sleep and have a sweet dream.To make the babies sleep you will have to tap on those having the same pajama and see them disappear in a love blast. It is basically a match 3 game. The difference is that you will have to be very quick in finding the right combinations as the room is getting too narrow to keep so many babies. If you are too slow the babies will not be able to get any rest.

Business and Law Society (BLS)
Entrepreneurship, finance, investment management, non-profit management, contract drafting, commercial litigation, marketing, venture capital, international business... The intersection of law and commerce is pervasive.
To that end, the Business & Law Society (BLS) at Indiana University Maurer School of Law aims to expose its students to the legal frameworks that enable commerce. And it is our goal to achieve this result with as much practical, hands-on experience as possible – business law related competitions, writing experience on business related topics, and networking with faculty and alumni.
- Speaker events: speakers include Maurer faculty and alumni, and other professionals.
- Transactional drafting competition: an internal competition aimed at giving students a taste for drafting and negotiating a deal. (Fall)
- Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC): an internal competition aimed at giving students practical insight into entrepreneurship and venture capital. Unlike business plan competitions in which students pitch their own ideas to investors, at VCIC the students are the investors, and real entrepreneurs pitch to them. (Spring)
- Mentoring Sessions: 2L and 3L students assist 1L and 2L students by mentoring them through the rigors of law school and in the search for employment.
- Alumni Mentor Program: 1L students are paired with alumni mentors to help jump start their networks and learn from their mentor's experiences.
- White Paper Groups: small teams of students collaborate on short papers to answer timely business questions.

I'm glad you think so hun! I know a few people who explored the far reaches of the earth on amazing programs and have such interesting stories! Gap years definitely can be amazing!Delete
I completely got you dear! It's an interesting question but I think both may have positives and negatives too. :)ReplyDelete
There are definitely positives for going to uni straight out of school. as well as not going to uni at all - it's all about doing what's best for you!Delete
I wish I'd taken a gap year. I wish I'd travelled and done all the things I can't do now I'm in full time work.ReplyDelete

Awwh, I wish I'd traveled during mine as well, but I got to do that on my year abroad. I'm definitely not looking forward to reduced travel time when I get into full time work D:Delete
Just come across your blog and I love it! I took a gap year in between doing my A levels and it really benefited me, especially as I was the youngest in my year! I felt much more confident in my studies :DReplyDelete
Love your posts - now following you on GFC! xx

YES YES and YES! I was disappointed with my a level results and now I'm like it really doesn't matter! I basically dropped out..ish of uni today..I know scary stuff eh but I am going to do travelling and an internship next year so ya know xxReplyDelete
I had to take a gap year to recover from a blood infection, and I feel like having that time to think and reconsider changed my opinion on everything. Not sure whether I'd recommend it unless you really didn't know what you wanted to do instead, as I have a lot of regrets, but perhaps that's because my gap year wasn't my choice! xReplyDelete

This is such a great post! I think it's such a good idea to wait until you are sure your making the right decision, there's never harm in taking some time off for yourself, as it normally means the next steps are much more lucrative!ReplyDelete
I took an unexpected gap year - but used it to take a foundation course and studied dance full time and it was the best year of my life! When i look back, I realise I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do before then.

Miniature candles for dollhouse miniatures. Old drippy smoky candles, carefully rendered, very realistically looking.
This is a set of miniature candles for dollhouse miniatures in 1:12 scale (1 inch scale).
Candles have been made as a cluster, it is a group of 10 (ten) candles joined together, can not be separated…anyway not recommended 🙂 it will damage the whole group and ruin the effect.
Ten candles are handmade by me, sculpted and shaped with patience and care. Candles look old, dusty and drippy, as if they have been used already. Wax (really polymer clay) melted and drips around the candles, all over them, between and at the bottom. Smoky effect is achieved by dusting candles with chalk pastels. Tiny black knots add realism to candles as well as careful rendering.

Kelly Welcomes Health Projects
Three capital health projects for North Tipperary have received continued commitments in the HSE capital health programme according to local Minister, Alan Kelly. The plans, published last week for the period 2011 to 2015 include three North Tipp health projects. Provision has been made in the capital health plans for Borrisokane Day Care centre along with two new theatres for Nenagh Hospital and and Ambulance Bases for Thurles & Roscrea.
"I welcome these commitments for capital funding and it is positive news for North Tipperary,"
"Overall health capital spending has been maintained and that is to be welcomed. The Borrisokane Day care centre has been a long time in the mix so hopefully it can be delivered upon soon as it is much needed for the community. It will go to tender before the end of the month. Similarly the provision of two new theatres for Nenagh General Hospital is also positive. It will increase day-surgery capacity for the hospital," stated Minister Kelly.
Also included in the plans are the completion of ambulance bases for both Thurles and Roscrea which are also needed for the health service locally.
"While we are in financially difficult times, it is important that North Tipp receive its fair share of investment which is delivered by the taxpayers of this country. Again many of these projects did not have committed funding from the last Government so the change is welcome," concluded the Minister.

It's always exciting for researchers when they make a shocking discovery that changes the shape of human history. So imagine the amazement on the faces of scientists when they found that this statue of Jesus held a 240-year-old secret hidden within its structure. More specifically, the statue had a time capsule letter hidden up Jesus' rear-end.
The statue, Cristo del Miserere, was housed at the church of Santa Águeda in Spain and was being removed because of its intense wear and tear. When researchers were examining it, they discovered a secret compartment in the butt that contained a letter from a priest which talked about the time period he was living in.
He also wrote about life at the time — including the name of the king, Carlos III, various aldermen and events of the time.
He detailed the crops cultivated in the region (wheat, rye, barley and oats, and wine grapes); the most common diseases (such as malaria and typhoid fever); and the most popular entertainments of the population (such as cards, ball games, and bar games).
The man who wrote the letter was a priest named Joaquín Mínguez, a chaplain of the Cathedral of the Burgo de Osma. Scientists are regarding his details about life in his time to be eye-opening and very useful for understanding history.

Special Identity Theft Enforcement Efforts - 2013
Identity theft perpetrators are hitting credit card companies, banks and other financial institutions. Unfortunately, the tax system isn't immune. This is not something the IRS takes lightly, and we've dramatically stepped up efforts to stop refund fraud as well as identity theft prevention and detection across the entire tax system.
Our goal is to detect these attempts at refund fraud before they occur and prevent them from happening in the first place, including detecting new schemes.
The IRS is utilizing the full capabilities and resources of our Criminal Investigation division to investigate those who steal from American taxpayers through identity theft.

What Students Say About Online Classes
"I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC."—F. Robertson

Had a marvelous time last weekend at the Sunderman Conservatory of Music, a school just 10 years old at Gettysburg College, which is in — where else? — Gettysburg, PA, of Civil War fame.
One quick tidbit: a major donor who writes a terrific march! That would be F. William Sunderman, a local physician whose money made the school possible. And who lived to be 104. And who wrote a march played on a gala concert I heard, which turned out to be a spirited, well-written piece. Clearly a man of many parts.
Time to celebrate
But of course I wasn't there for the march, or for the Civil War. Sunderman was celebrating its 10th anniversary, with among other things a symposium built around the idea of 21st century music education. I gave a keynote talk (called "An Explosion of Change"), and, which was fulfilling fun, moderated two panels, one called "The 21st Century Musician," the other titled "Pathways to a Diverse Musical Future."
I also visited a musicology class, and met informally with a small group of students and faculty. I love these school visits! Such a chance to meet good people, to learn what's going on in places I'd otherwise not know about. And to discover, once again, how many people in our field are primed for change.
Those panels
Why were the panels fun and fulfilling? Because I had to wrangle large groups. Featuring Fred Bronstein, the dean at the Peabody Institute, and Brian Pertl, the dean of the Conservatory at Lawrence University in Wisconsin. (I'll post more very soon about what sounds like an astonishing change in musical culture there, due to their 21st Century Musicianship program.)
And then such an array of musicians were on the panels, from Imani Winds, the JACK Quartet, and Decoda. JACK and Decoda were in residence, and giving arousing concerts, as part of the anniversary celebration. Imani Winds had been in residence earlier this year.
What terrific people. And the concerts, to pick just two highlights: Decoda played a version of the "Agnus dei" from Bach's B Minor Mass, with a beat, and terrific ornaments in a style that straddled jazz and Baroque. Trumpet, clarinet, bass, and drums. Who would have thought that piece could swing? Without in the least betraying Bach.
And JACK just soared in a Xenakis piece, Tetras. Which was so crazy, with so many wild sounds, and also so wonderfully coherent, that it made me thrilled to be alive. Love when music can do that!
But back to the panels…
How I wrangled eight panelists at once. A challenge! I've moderated many panels, but never any this big.
So I ditched the standard panel format: opening statements, then discussion, then questions from the audience. Only thing I could think to do was mix things up right from the start. Ask each panelist to say just a few sentences about the panel's subject, then see what else they might want to say, once they'd heard everyone else's thoughts.
That just took off, especially when we involved the audience. The second panel achieved escape velocity, meaning the discussion took off on its own, and could have continued for quite a long time more, with no help from me. A moderator's dream!
What was said: Unanimity, just about, about the new life classical music needs. Livelier, more contemporary, more human, all the things I always say, but coming from people with different slants on it, different experiences, different understandings. Really a bonanza.
One detail, from Brian Pertl, who's an ethnomusicologist, which places him outside normal classical music, and gives him a fresh take on what a conservatory can do. He started a gamelan get the instruments, get someone who knows gamelan music, and the ensemble proves popular. Anyone can join in, learn how to play.
And at Lawrence, something special happened. Maybe it's happened elsewhere — I hope so! — but I heard it from Brian first.
The classical faculty, at first, told their students not to join the gamelan. Waste of their time. But then one of the faculty saw what happened to students who did join. They played their instruments better! They sight-read better, especially. Maybe because (as Anna Elashvili, Decoda's violinist) suggested, in the Gamelan group they played music by ear. So that made them hear music more clearly, and helped them imagine what they saw in written music before they played it. (I'm paraphrasing what I remember Anna said. I think she said it better.)
The meaning of it all
But you see what's happening here. Sunderman wants to go down a 21st Century road, and — much like the DePauw University School of Music — brings musicians in who already do that. What else the school wants to do, in how and what they teach, would be a longer story, one I'm in no position to tell. But certainly they had the spirit, and brought their stuednts something new, fun, and strong, for the 10th anniversary. I'm grateful to them for making me part of it.
Shortly I'll post a link to a recording of my talk. And meeting Brian Pertl — along with his wife, Leila Ramogopal Pertl, an inspired music educator — was a high. Good things are happening at Lawrence!

Windows 7 x64 RAM problem
hello guys,
I have a problem with my newly purchased 2 gb RAM.
previously I had been using 3 gb of RAM in my Windows 7 Ultimate x64. anything with the RAM was fine. then I have bought a 2gb RAM today, inserted it to the slot of my notebook and switched on the notebook.
in the system properties I saw this.
3.00 of it was usable.
I replaced the memories in the slots, nothing changed.
Then I did some research on this. I read that doing this might help:
it did not. still 3.00 gb usable.
Then I read that I could alter some setting called "Memory Remapping" in my BIOS, but could not fine one in the BIOS. my notebook is a Toshiba A100-011, and it has an Intel chipset.
Then I discovered these;
"hardware reserved"
then I suspected my graphics card and found this:
My graphics card is an external one as you see, and it has 256 mb of separate memory of itself. It was using only 2mb of the system ram when I was using 2 GB ram, but now it takes up a whole 1500 something.
I do not want that and I want to use this amount for normal system works.
So please tell me a way to make all of the 4.00 GB of ram "usable".

Win 7 Ultimate x64
Nothing to do with the video card, and everything to do with the chipset and maximum memory support of the laptop. Specs for the A100-011 in your specs,
Satellite A100-011 - Product Specifications - Toshiba
System memory
standard : 1,024 MB
maximum expandability : 4,096 MB
technology : DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)
The system memory that is reported in the System Information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than you expect if 4 GB of RAM is installed
When the physical RAM that is installed on a computer equals the address space that is supported by the chipset, the total system memory that is available to the operating system is always less than the physical RAM that is installed. For example, consider a computer that has an Intel 975X chipset that supports 8 GB of address space. If you install 8 GB of RAM, the system memory that is available to the operating system will be reduced by the PCI configuration requirements. In this scenario, PCI configuration requirements reduce the memory that is available to the operating system by an amount that is between approximately 200 MB and approximately 1 GB. The reduction depends on the configuration.

I have a Targus USB DVD/ROM player and I was wondering if it ispossible to use it to watch a DVD here on my A500. I've plugged it in the USB port and it starts spinning, but that is as far as I get. There are no controls on the player unit other than a STOP button, so I am assuming that everything would need to be software controled. Is there an app that would allow all of this to work? I have done all of the system updates and everything seems to be working well ! Thanks ! p.s. - what does "rooted" mean or refer to? I have seen this mentioned quite a lot here in the forums.

Largest American Manufacturer of Consumer Rat and Mouse Poisons Reaches Agreement with EPA
d-Con® agrees to remove its most hazardous rodent poisons from consumer market
Reckitt Benckiser, the manufacturer of d-Con® and the sole hold-out fighting the Environmental Protection Agency requirements to make rat and mouse poisons safer, has agreed to stop selling some of its products. Nicole Paquette, vice president, wildlife protection for The Humane Society of the United States issued the following statement:
"We are extremely pleased that children, pets and wild animals will have a reduced risk of being injured or killed by accidental exposure to these toxic and dangerous poisons. The Humane Society of the United States thanks the EPA for placing reasonable restrictions on second generation anticoagulant, the most toxic form of rat and mouse poison, and following through with enforcement to ensure all manufacturers complied. Although under this agreement Reckitt Benckiser is allowed to continue to sell these harmful products until the end of the year, we urge retailers to remove them from store shelves immediately."

Free Agent Frenzy: Jays' Stroman is rollin'
Remember last week, when we recommended Neftali Feliz in deep leagues? He got a closer job this week. Three cheers for anyone who picked up Feliz before Wednesday!
Here's this season's sweet 16th edition of Free Agent Frenzy. Please note that, as always, no player will be mentioned in this space more than once in a four-week span, because we don't want to beat you over the head all year long about the same players. Let's get going!
(Note: All stats are through Thursday.)
Catcher: Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Marlins (owned in 15.4 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
Salty offers what he always has – nice power with a low BA. There probably won't be 10 catchers that hit more home runs than he does between now and the end of the season.
Digging deeper: Out of desperation, J.P. Arencibia (0.5 percent owned) has been playing plenty of first base for the Rangers since coming up from Triple A last week. Arencibia had 14 homers and 48 games at Triple A, and has four with the Rangers this season. He can't do anything else, but if you can still snatch him up in a deep mixed league, he can help you in the power department. Using Arencibia as a fantasy catcher is far preferable to playing him at first base.
First base: Lucas Duda, Mets (owned in 17.5 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
I kind of like Duda. Not in a "he's going to carry me to a fantasy title kind of way," but with an appreciation for the fact that he's a bit underrated. 2014 will mark the first season that Duda has had an everyday job all year, and he's probably going to hit 20-25 homers with a .250 batting average. He's not a lifesaver. He's not an up-and-comer. But he's not terrible if a recent injury (e.g., Justin Morneau) has left a hole at first base on your roster.
Digging deeper: Until Yonder Alonso comes off the DL, Jake Goebbert (0.0 percent owned) appears in line for regular first-base duty in the Padres' depleted lineup (he played left field on Thursday). Goebbert isn't worthy of more than an NL-only pickup as his power is just so-so, but if he keeps playing, he can help a little.
Second base: Tommy La Stella, Braves (owned in 4.7 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
La Stella is proving to be what we thought: A better real player than fantasy player. He has no power and little speed, but hits for a good BA and is knocking in enough runs to be useful. Sure, I could think of 18-20 second basemen I'd rather have, but most of them are probably taken, some others are on the disabled list, and even more have been mentioned in this feature too recently to be recommended again so soon. Therefore, this week's keystone suggestion is La Stella. You could probably do worse.
Digging deeper: Danny Espinosa (0.8 percent owned) is set to be the lefty platoon at second base for the Nationals while 3B Ryan Zimmerman is on the DL. Espinosa can hit for some power and run a little (six HR, seven SB in 262 AB), and it's possible that he was cut in your NL-only league when Zimmerman came off the DL a few weeks ago. In deep mixed leagues, you'd have to be in dire straits to pick up Espinosa.
Third base: Chase Headley, Yankees (owned in 36.8 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
I detailed the case for Headley in a Tuesday blog post. I'm all in.
Digging deeper: Yangervis Solarte (16.2 percent owned) has eligibility at 2B/3B/SS, and looks to be the Padres' new everyday third baseman. He's a good enough hitter to be a versatile asset for your deep-mixed squad. You still might able to grab him in an NL-only before the end of the week, too.
Shortstop: Josh Rutledge, Rockies (owned in 3.5 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
I wrote about Rutledge â who will fill in during Troy Tulowitzki's DL stint â in this blog post from Wednesday. See how easy I'm making things for myself today?
Digging deeper: Zach Walters (0.1 percent owned) will platoon with Espinosa at second base for the Nationals, and with his power (18 homers between minors and majors this season), I wonder if he'll get more than just the lesser half of this timeshare. Take a chance if you're in an NL-only league, where Walters has upside.
Outfield: Christian Yelich, Marlins (owned in 41.5 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
Yelich is batting .278 with eight home runs, 12 stolen bases and 56 runs scored in just over a half season's worth of games. Why would he be unowned in any fantasy league?
Digging deeper: The Astros' outfield is undermanned, with Dexter Fowler and George Springer on the DL. For now, Marc Krauss (0.1 percent owned) is expected to platoon with L.J. Hoes in left field. Krauss has decent power, and batted fourth for the Astros on Thursday. I don't like to recommend platoon players in any mixed formats, but AL-only owners should snap up Krauss.
Starting pitcher: Marcus Stroman, Blue Jays (owned in 17.6 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
Stroman fired seven innings of one-hit, shutout ball against the Red Sox on Thursday, and is now 6-2 with a 3.21 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. He's getting better every time out, folks. Join me on the bandwagon anytime.
Digging deeper: Kyle Hendricks (0.3 percent owned) sometimes gets lost in the Cubs' prospect chatter, and he's not long on stuff. But he's got good control, induces plenty of ground balls, and has had a couple of solid starts so far. He's worth a shot in NL-only and maybe even some deep mixed formats.
Relief pitcher: Joaquin Benoit, Padres (owned in 10.3 percent of FOXSports.com leagues)
In the wake of Huston Street's trade to the Angels, Benoit takes over closer duties in San Diego. A week from now, we might be discussing a new Padres'closer (Dale Thayer?) if Benoit is dealt before Thursday's deadline. Until that happens, possession is nine-tenths of the law when it comes to closer jobs. Grab Benoit if you need saves in any format, and hope for the best.
Digging deeper: Shawn Kelley (2.1 percent owned) is behind David Robertson and Dellin Betances in the Yankees' bullpen pecking order, but he has a 3.48 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 31 innings this season. Why grab a potentially terrible sixth starter in your AL-only league when you can have a solid, helpful reliever like Kelley?

More Details on HTC U Play and U Ultra Leaked
by Jan 10, 2017 10:11 am0
A few days ago we were able to get a small glimpse of the possible specifications of HTC's yet to be announced U Play and U Ultra smartphones. And with the company expected to officially announce their new devices tomorrow, more information on both of HTC's new devices have leaked once more giving us a better idea of their specifications.
According to the leaks, the HTC U Ultra (or HTC Ocean Note), which is expected to be the company's next flagship, will feature a 6-inch WQHD resolution display, the just announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (MSM8998) processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a dual rear camera system with 24-megapixel and 13-megapixel sensors, a 16-megapixel front-facing camera, a 4,000mAh battery, and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.
As for the HTC U Play (or HTC Alpine), which is expected to be a mid-range device, the leak suggests that it will feature a 5.2-inch full HD resolution display, a MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755) processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 16-megapixel cameras on both the front and the rear of the device, a 2,500mAh battery, and a front-mounted fingerprint sensor. According to previous leaks, both the HTC U Play and U Ultra will not be equipped with 3.5mm audio jacks.
RELATED: HTC's New Smartphones Will Be Called the U Play and U Ultra, Will Not Have 3.5mm Jacks
The company is also expected to unveil a new HTC X10 although not much information has leaked regarding this device other than it will feature a 3.5mm audio jack, unlike the U Play and U Ultra, as well as a 5.5-inch display, a MediaTek Helio P10 processor, and 3GB of RAM.
We'll just have to wait for HTC's official announcement tomorrow (January 12) to confirm if these leaks are true and find out the rest of the specifications and features of HTC's new line of smartphones.

Building a Garden Shed
Living on acreage is not for the weak of heart. Or the weak of mind, weak of strength…you get the picture. I am weak in all of these areas, so when things get done around here, it's definitely something to write about.
Most of the time I owe the credit to my adorable H, who would snicker if he knew I was writing a post featuring his garden shed.
We moved on to this eight-acre property a couple of years ago, with protected land dense with forest trees, and as a direct counterpart, wide-open spaces with challenging earth.
In fact, it took a fierce pickaxe to plant fragile Clematis for the wrought-iron arbor, I'm struck by the irony that plays out here everyday.
The irony in the garden reminds me that life presents times of stress and relaxation, peaks and valleys, fierceness and fragility.
When I look at the garden shed, I see myself coming out of a long Winter valley, my weakness peeling away like a weighted jacket in the heat of Summer.
I also see hope and possiblity, not just in the garden and what it will produce, but in relationships, in trying new things, in just doing something.
It's possible. Go build it.

Finally Hart Of Dixie Gives Lavon Hayes A Love Interest I Like
Hart of Dixie has always been a guilty pleasure show for me. I watched the entire last season hoping that Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) would finally make her choice between George Tucker (Scott Porter) and Wade Kinsella (Wilson Bethel). But I decided to shift my focus during last night's season premiere knowing that this is this is a decision that won't be made any time soon.
Luckily for me that wasn't too hard. You see last night one of my favorite character's small town mayor, Lavon Hayes (Cress Williams), had a blast from the past in the form of his high school sweetheart. As I watched him stumble over his words when she walked into his life, I knew there was a good story there. Ruby (Golden Brooks) is a strong independent woman who has turned herself into a very successful businesswoman. She's in town visiting family when she runs into Lavon.
There's clearly tension between them, and later on in the episode she reveals that their relationship was pretty hot and heavy in high school. But when he left their hometown behind to play college football, he stopped returning her calls. She rehashes the past with him in an almost playful way and she seems to enjoy how uncomfortable it makes him. The feminist in me is glad she called him out on the bullshit he pulled in the past. But the hopeless romantic in me swooned when he apologized.
I know, I know it's bad but he's such a sweetheart now. He'd never do that again! Never fear though because even though I'm easily won over by Lavon, I highly doubt Ruby will let him off so easily. Which is precisely why I'm rooting for this relationship. We haven't ever seen him in a real relationship on the show. Sure he's dated some people. And then there are the flashbacks of his sordid past with the prim and proper southern belle Lemon Breeland (Jaime King), my least favorite character on the show. But I think it's about time we move past that.
For me, Ruby seems like the perfect way for the show to do just that. I like that they've finally brought on a strong southern belle. She doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks, and she definitely enjoys pushing people's buttons.
So I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that she sticks around, and that she can sort out her issues with Lavon of course!

Medical Records Scanning
Document Scanning versus Document Storage Costs
Document storage is cheaper solution compared to document scanning when judged purely on the price and not considering the hidden costs. It's just a matter of simple math to explain this. The cost to store one box of medical records is approximately $40 per box for 7 years of document storage or approximately 2 cents per page based on a standard 10 H x 12 W x 15 D box containing 2,000 pages.
Canon DR-3010C Scanner Review
The Canon imageFORMULA DR-3010C Scanner never disappoints when it comes to delivery of high quality results. Not only is it reasonably easy to use but it also handles huge workloads. If you have demanding workgroups scanning requirements, then this is the most dependable device there is.
Canon DR-9050C Medical Records Scanner
In a few words, this Canon imageFORMULA DR-9050C - document scanner can be best described as an A3 document handling that is fast, reliable with, high-precision and superior Canon-quality image processor. Designed to meet the most exacting document management needs, this compact scanner is extremely comfortable to use due to its streamlined design.
Reducing Costs for Scanning Medical Records
It is now an established fact that scanning medical records into PDF files is a bare necessity for integrating conventionally-saved PHI (as physical files) into a chosen EMR software.
Understanding Electronic Medical Records Beyond Scanning
A common misconception has emerged in the healthcare industry with many folks assuming that Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) is limited to the use of scanned images.

Henry of Atlantic City
The children of the heavenly man are more numerous than those of the earthly man. He who understands, let him understand. No creation is so completely flawed that no good can come out of it. Know yourself by not being taken captive by a sweetness of darkness.
These are the thoughts and words of Henry, a six-year-old with a photographic memory. Driven by unknown inner forces and a harsh environment, Henry is a present day kid reared in a world of gamblers, prostitutes and losers. Satirically biting and often justifiably irreverent, Reuss (Horace Afoot) allows his gifted child hero to escape into ancient Byzantium through several volumes of books Henry finds by Procopius, such as The Secret History.
It is from Procopius and from The Coptic Gnostic Library that Henry can make sense of Atlantic City. Through constant conversational inquiry with the underworld characters that have raised him, Henry blends the Roman era with that of today, and Mafia dealings between Henry's father and local goodfellas take on great mythical and historical connotations.
Yet Reuss is clever and appreciates a challenge. The charming, yet vulnerable and abandoned Henry is placed into the greedy hands of the Catholic Church when his father has to skip town due to a major theft of mob funds. The author, while hilariously tipping his hat to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mark Twain and a lot of dead rock stars, offers this—that philosophy, be it dogmatic or not, and inquiry are in their purest form when employed by a child, as they are not tainted by guilt or mutated from age.
A desperate Henry throws himself into the world where he can walk as "a saint." He knows well the dangers of being a saint and of becoming lost to the degradations humanity so pleasingly presents to itself. Henry escapes again (we are initially led to believe) to schizophrenia when an angel begins visiting him, in his ear, when he is most afraid.
Henry of Atlantic City (think Joan of Arc) truly understands the darkness that threatens the honest or holy man, but, refreshingly, avoids martyrdom—a concept in present day enlightenment that rings more true than any word of God's chosen.

How can you remember you have a family if you have short-term memory loss?
That question is the wind beneath the water wings of Pixar's joyous computer-animated sequel, which revisits the colourful characters 13 years after worrywart clownfish Marlin was reunited with his beloved son, Nemo.
Their forgetful pal, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), the uproarious comic relief of the first film, is promoted to head of the school for directors Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane's journey of self-fishcovery, that once again abandons the safety of the reef for perilous waters.
In almost every aspect, Finding Dory is the emotional and comical equal of its predecessor, dazzling the senses with stunningly realistic visuals and Thomas Newman's buoyant orchestral score.
The script effortlessly tugs heartstrings in between cute verbal and sight gags.
An adorable animated short entitled Piper precedes and complements the main feature, chronicling the fortunes of a sandpiper hatchling as it learns to forage for food at the water's edge.
Dory is the next-shell neighbour of Marlin and his young son, Nemo on the Great Barrier Reef.
During a field trip to witness the stingray migration, the loveable blue tang experiences a rush of fragmented memories of her parents Charlie and Jenny.
'I miss 'em', Dory tells Marlin, and the fish embark on a quest to California to reunite the forgetful daughter with her loved ones.
Initially, the travellers ride strong currents with sea turtle Crush and his bodacious brethren, but when they arrive at the Marine Life Institute, Dory is separated from her pals.
She languishes in quarantine with a grouchy septopus called Hank (Ed O'Neill), who possesses remarkable powers of camouflage.
Meanwhile, Marlin and Nemo abide by Dory's mantra – 'just keeping swimming' – and enlist help from wise-cracking sea lions Fluke and Rudder, near-sighted whale shark Destiny and a beluga whale called Bailey, who has lost his echo location as the result of a concussion.
Finding Dory mines the central character's one-joke disability for gentle laughs without meanness.
Set pieces including a chase involving a fearsome predator of the sea are nimbly executed and the introduction of O'Neill's cranky cephalopod is a masterstroke.
DeGeneres' vocal performance exudes warmth and innocence, compelling us to root for her through a couple of the film's outlandish narrative detours.

Garberville Man Claims to Own Gingerbread Mansion, Police Arrest Him
Ferndale Police Department press release:
On August 24, 2014 at approximately 1:30 pm, Ferndale police officers responded to the Gingerbread Mansion Bed and Breakfast, 400 Berding Street, regarding a suspicious male acting strangely. Upon the officer's arrival at the Gingerbread Mansion, the Ferndale police Officer contacted Dan Craig Dobbs, 40 years old, Garberville, CA, outside the establishment on the porch.
Dobbs claimed he was a past guest of the Gingerbread Mansion and wanted to rent a room. Dobbs said he entered the bed and breakfast and walked to the third floor in order to look at a room he wanted to rent. Dobbs claimed he had "only" had a sip of wine from a wine bottle located next to the establishment's guest registration log book, on the first floor.
The officer spoke with management and learned Dobbs had actually walked upstairs, entered two separate private hotel rooms. While Dobbs was inside the first private unoccupied hotel room, he stole a bottle of wine from the room and exited the room. Dobbs then immediately walked into another unoccupied private hotel room and opened the sealed bottle of wine. Dobbs exited the second room, walked to the first floor, retrieved a wine glass and returned to the second private hotel room. While inside the hotel room, he began drinking the wine. The wine was valued at approximately 40-50 dollars.
Furthermore, Dobbs claimed to be the owner of the establishment to management and staff. At some point, Dobbs walked into the kitchen area, and without permission, began opening and looking through kitchen drawers and cabinets along with the refrigerator and freezer. During Dobbs' visit, he walked into one of the rooms reserved for staff and began pointing at things within the room and claimed they were stolen from him.
After the officer conducted a full investigation, Dobbs was arrested for burglary. Ultimately Dobbs was transported to the Humboldt County Jail where he was booked for burglary.

12x12 Original Oil on Canvas
Cheri Wollenberg
This painting is from an image I photographed several years ago. An artist friend brought in a basket full of very ripe tomatoes, green beans, and black-eyed susan flowers. My goodness did we ever have a "photo shoot". We arranged them in baskets, pots, and in every possible way that we could imagine in a matter of very little time. The experience we had was in itself beautiful. The delights that artists have are so playful and childlike. To my knowlege, I think the tomatoes were the only things I actually painted from life. What a shame! But, I have countless resources and sometimes I open that folder and remember my dear little friend - who has since moved away to another state. I enjoyed painting Blue Enamel Pot and Red Tomatoes. It has a real country mood to it. Reminds me of other times in my past.

70s style is back for the summer
What is it about glasses with lenses hued somewhere between orange and yellow? My personal opinion is that they are cool and have a Hollywood touch. The tinted eyewear combine both the current good-taste-meets-bad-taste obsession with the naughties and the retro '70s, the return of the sleazy-chic shades shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

Mayan Holidaze
Now Sapphire
Mayan Riviera, Mexico
January 20-24, 2011
In a world where festivals have become a dime a dozen, there are still those that stand out above and beyond them all. Mayan Holidaze is one of those. Having moved locations, this is an event that offers a little bit of it all. With a lineup that consisted of some of the best of the best with the ocean serving as a backdrop to a stage and white sand serving as the dance floor, Holidaze had more to offer than simply another music experience where shuffling from stage to stage is the venture of the day.
Offering activities ranging from tennis matches against members of Umphrey's McGee and STS9, a Guac-Off with Jake Cinninger, Texas Hold 'Em with David Murphy, or just a sun filled day in the pool with the spinning beats of Orchard Lounge to accompany the bask. This all-inclusive resort vacation was just as relaxing as it was raging.
Photographer Chad Smith of JamBandsJam.com was on the scene to capture it for the rest of us who were battling ice, snow, and the like while these folks were bathing in sun all day, dancing and tequila drinking the night away with The Disco Biscuits and STS9's David Murphy respectively.
