During the 2015 Biennial Conference, YWCA USA unveiled the Mission Impact Framework (MIF). This framework is a new tool for describing, focusing, and measuring the collective impact of our national YWCA network. The mission impact framework allows us to coordinate mission impact work and also acknowledges that each YWCA local association responds to the unique needs of their community. Additionally, the framework optimizes YWCA's strength as a national organization with a local presence in more than 200 communities across the US. Built upon our theory of change, the MIF articulates three signature outcomes that correspond to our signature platforms as well as three broad organizational commitments that exist across platforms and outcomes. Each of these outcomes have a racial justice focus and two of them are specifically about women and girls of color.
- For Racial Justice and Civil Rights, our signature outcome is to increase the equal protections and equal opportunities of people of color.
- For Empowerment and Economic Advancement of Women and Girls, YWCA USA works to increase economic opportunities for women and girls of color.
- For Health and Safety of Women and Girls, YWCA seeks to improve the health and safety of women and girls of color.
"Much of our strategic thinking has been fostered by recent data concerning the racial/ethnic demographic shift that will take place across the US. According to these studies, by 2050 women of color will be 53% of all women in the US. The question that drives a bulk of my work at YWCA USA is: if women of color remain deeply marginalized in our society in 2050, what are the implications for our economic systems? Our healthcare systems? Our political systems? Our educational systems? Research, data collection, and program/service delivery design related to these matters, could demonstrate the long-term social impact of institutional and structural oppression, not just on the oppressed but on the entire society."
Donte Hilliard, Director of Mission Impact, YWCA USA

"We did have lots of problems from the start and they were unable to do the job when they specified. The top of the bore was not placed low enough into the ground and the cover they supplied does not fit. We now have a green box which we had to modify to try to fit to ground level that goes around the bore and it has no lid as it never fitted on so the top of the bore is open."

In episode 24 of Working Title podcast, I speak with storyteller Clay McLeod Chapman, who will be one of the speakers at this year's James River Writers conference in October. We cover his career thus far as a writer of plays, short stories, film, and comic books, as well as his teaching film-making and performing in his Pumpkin Pie show. We discuss the essentials of horror stories, how aspiring writers can break into comic books and movies, and the importance of always saying "Yes."

ONE-ON-ONES in NYC!
It's time. The Pumpkin Pie Show: ONE-ON-ONES is coming to New York City. For six weeks, starting in September, I will be performing to one audience member at a time.
From our press release:
"For 20 years, Chapman's rigorous storytelling session The Pumpkin Pie Show has delved deep into the depraved minds of those who drift along the periphery of humankind. For his new show, One-On-Ones, he will take one audience member at a time on a dark ride through the domestic horrors of the everyday, finding terror within our own households. Sometimes darkly humorous, sometimes strangely heartbreaking, this intimate storytelling experience is Edgar Allan Poe for the modern age; a heart-to-bleeding-heart with a motley crew of madmen, murderers and monsters all dying to tell their story. No fourth wall, no escape."
Ever hear of seven minutes in heaven? This is twenty minutes in hell...

Spider-Man gets Typhoid Fever
Marvel just announced a new 3-part event series called TYPHOID FEVER! Guess who's writing it? I'm tackling one of the best, bad-assed baddies around: My queen Typhoid Mary! Here's what my editor Devin Lewis had to say:
"Typhoid Mary has one of the most dangerous powersets in the Marvel Universe – and writer Clay McLeod Chapman (EDGE OF VENOMVERSE) is determined to use those powers in ways we've never seen before. Pyrokinesis, telekinesis, and mind control… and that's all in the first scene! Wait'll you see what else Clay has planned, and what artist Stefano Landini has done with the script for TYPHOID FEVER: SPIDER-MAN!"
First up, we're putting Mary against none other than your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! TYPHOID FEVER: SPIDER-MAN #1, written by Clay McLeod Chapman with art by Stefano Landini, hits shelves Oct 3!

Review Roundup from the 2018 Overlook Film Fest
The Pumpkin Pie Show rose from the dead for a special run at this year's Overlook Film Festival. We brought new and old tales and our one-on-ones to New Orleans... and some lovely folks wrote nice things about it. Here's what they said:
"Another major staple thus far of the fest has been The Pumpkin Pie Show by creator, writer, and performer Clay McLeod Chapman (Co-writer of 2015's The Boy). Described as a sort of Edgar Allan Poe for the modern age, Chapman is a storyteller like no other, relaying tales of terror from the seemingly mundane to Gothic monstrosities that pour out of him as if possessed from beyond." -- Bloody Disgusting
"A beautiful 20 minutes of human connection." -- Filmmaker Magazine
"What happens when you take a delightfully talented (and somewhat twisted) actor/writer who's used to performing in packed theaters and give him an opportunity to entertain just one person at a time? Pure macabre magic. Sitting face-to-face with Clay McLeod Chapman alone on stage in New Orleans' Le Petite Theater as he transforms in the span of 15 minutes from the nicest guy at the festival to a monster who may-or-may-not have just murdered his daughter is a stunningly eerie sight to see." -- No Proscenium
"The Pumpkin Pie Show: One-on-Ones proved to be a stunningly personal experience. As its name suggests, this performance was literally one actor with one audience member, an extremely limited experience during the festival. That actor is the incredibly versatile Clay McLeod Chapman, whose one-man show is entirely free of costumes, makeup, lighting, music, set pieces… or anything other than himself. And yet, it is completely immersive thanks to his brilliant storytelling skills. Armed with a variety of his own dark writings that bring to mind the classic tales of Edgar Allen Poe, Chapman transforms before participants' eyes through his acting abilities alone, delivering a performance that's impossible not to become entranced by." -- Inside the Magic
"There were too many other fun events, parties, and activities to list them all, but a quick mention for both Clay McLeod Chapman and his Pumpkin Pie live storytelling show, and for Grady Hendrix and his Paperbacks from Hell event. These guys are super talented and if you have a chance to see either one of them, don't miss it!" -- Screen Anarchy
"Clay McLeod Chapman is a genius storyteller. Full stop. From performing in front of a large crowd, to intimate one-on-one performances, Clay's ability to transport audiences deep into the heart of his stories is nothing short of remarkable." Here's an interview with No Proscenium at the Overlook Film Festival where I talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and have no chin. Check it out here.

16 Darkest Versions of Spider-Man
Whoa! I just found out Comic Book Resources listed our Spider-Man redux #2 on their "16 Darkest Versions of Spider-Man" list. Me and Elia Bonetti created the second darkest Spider-Man ever in the whole wide world for our Edge of Spiderverse issue!
Here's what they had to say...
"In the 2014 miniseries, Edge of Spider-Verse, we saw alternate versions of Spider-Man characters and Edge of Spider-Verse #4 (Clay McLeod Chapman, Elia Bonett) was a horrific take on the Spider-Man origin. Instead of Peter Parker, it was Patton Parnell who lived with his cruel Uncle Ted instead of Aunt May and stalked his next-door neighbor, Sarah Jane. When he visited the labs of Alcorp Industries, he was bitten by an experimental spider.
If that sounds familiar, what happened next isn't. Instead of turning into a superhero, Parnell started webbing and eating people, including his Uncle Ted. He bit Sarah Jane before turning into a monster that was drained by the vampiric Morlun. Instead of a happy ending, the next morning we saw hundreds of baby spiders coming out of Sarah Jane's neck. Parnell was what Spider-Man would be like if he had been a monster."
We're number two! We're number two!

Hell-o WENDELL & WILD!
The cat is officially out of the bag, thanks to Deadline Hollywood... There are two demons I'd like you to meet.
"Fresh off winning the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for his directorial debut Get Out, Jordan Peele is at the center of a most intriguing feature re-team with Keegan-Michael Key, his longtime partner on the Emmy-winning Comedy Central series Key and Peele. Netflix has committed to finance and distribute Wendell And Wild, a stop motion animated feature to be directed by James and the Giant Peach helmer Henry Selick. Key and Peele will supply the voices for two scheming demon brothers..."
Oh... And what's this? Read a little further down and it says: "Selick is writing the script with Peele and Clay McLeod Chapman. While the movie moves forward, a deal has been made with Simon & Schuster for a book to be written by Chapman and Selick to be published around the film's release."
I have died and gone to hog heaven. Our work is just beginning, but it's super exciting to finally be able to share with the rest of the world. More to come, soon enough. You can read the full article at Deadline here.

Baaarf! Review Roundup for Lazaretto #5!
All grotesque things must come to an end. With our fifth and final issue of Lazaretto, we would like to say thanks to all the fine critics who were kind and considerate enough to review our mini-epic. Here's what folks had to say:
"As Chapman continues emotionally beating the hell out of you with the script, Jey Levang matches him stroke for stroke with the art choices. Levang's deceptively delicate lines and washed out watercolor palette drew us into a false sense of security, before giving way to torqued layouts, skewed panels, blood, and sputum. By the end of this thing, you'll want to wash your hands and bathe in hand sanitizer. Second thought, forget the sanitizer. Get out the bleach and Brillo pads." -- Comicon
"A face-peelingly awesome finale... Lazaretto is one of those rare things in the world of comics – a fascinating premise that actually manages to live up to its potential." -- Big Comic Page
"Lazaretto has been as emotional as it has been gross; as thought-provoking as it has been violent; and as visually stunning as it has been narratively structured." -- ComiConverse
Lazaretto "find(s) those beautiful and brilliant moments of authentic humanity in the midst of decay, decay and misery. There are not many authors capable of skillfully combining both aspects of human nature." -- Mundos Hipotecticos (Hypothetical Worlds)
"Chapman crafted the perfect epidemic story: incredibly believable and entirely fatalistic... You can't read this book without craving a long hot shower and Purell. Unsettling. Timely. Great." -- The Oregonian
"Lazaretto #5 pulls no punches in a finale that is poignant and devastating in equal measure." -- Broken Frontier (review)
"Chapman sends us on a rollercoaster in this one... Any ending, good or bad, seeing these two characters and their bond was truly inspiring." -- Pop Break
Lazaretto is "full of dreamy watercolour violence and face-ripping." -- Women Write About Comics
"Both scary as hell and oddly, grimly optimistic in the end." -- UPROXX (This Week's Best New Comics)
"Lazaretto has topped itself with every subsequent chapter. It's only gotten more and more unsettling and insane. This finale is riveting and unbelievable... Lazaretto would give any clean freak nightmares for months. It's a disturbing journey that will make you want to bathe yourself in hand sanitizer after reading it." -- Horror Talk
Lazaretto "will play around with the reader's emotions before they reach the shocking final pages." -- Villain Media
"This series has just been getting crazier and crazier with each issue." -- Rogues Portal Pull List
"What's more disturbing than a roughly drawn madman pulling the skin off his face?" -- Big Shiny Robot
"Chapman is a hell of a writer." -- Comics Heating Up (Pick of the Week)
"Lazaretto has been a mucus-splattered body horrorfest from start to finish." -- Broken Frontier's Staff Picks
Best Covers of the Week, VOl 215 -- Geek Rex

Best of 2017: Lazaretto-style!
With 2017 (finally) behind us, we took a glance in the rear-view mirror and spotted Lazaretto cropping up on a few Top 10 lists. Not only... Members of our creative team either won or were nominated for their kick-assery. Check it:
#4: LAZARETTO: "With a clever title, writer Clay McLeod Chapman and artist Jey Levang examine a college where everybody is trying to find their own identity. In a terrifying twist, a deadly virus reveals the worst between men and women."
"I've read so many different comics this year, but the one that has stood out for me this year has to be Clay McLeod Chapman and Jey Levang's Lazaretto. The story is a cross between Lord of the Flies meets Contagion, allowing you to feel claustrophobic, disgusted and extremely uncomfortable, but that's the point! Chapman and Levang keep you invested in the characters and their journey to keep reading. They create a scenario that's horrifying and can very well happen but twists it. You never knew what steps anyone will take to the series. You never know what these humans will do. This comic completely puts you on edge and allows you to come into a great story, but also skeeves you out in the best ways. Chapman doesn't hold back with his college narrative that's a little slice of life underneath, and Levang doesn't hold back with how sickening he can make it look."
Aditya Bidikar received the 2017 Broken Frontier Award for Best Letterer on his work for Lazaretto, Paradiso and Kid Lobotomy. Congratulations, Aditya!
(Also a huge congrats to illustrator Jey Levang for being nominated in the Breakout Talent category for their work on Lazaretto. Much deserved!)
What creators weren't on your radar before 2017, that you are fans of now?
"Clay McLeod Chapman ("Lazaretto"): This is a total cheat, I know, but… Jey Levang. It wasn't until our editor, Eric Harburn, suggested them for "Lazaretto" that I got my hands on a copy of their indie-comic HELL(P) and I was totally smitten from that point on. I will follow Jey in whatever they do next and pray we get to work together again. I'm a complete convert."
Thanks to everyone who picked up our little icky comic... We couldn't have done it without you! And don't forget: One more issue to go! Pick up #5 at the end of the month to see how it all wraps up. It ain't gonna be pretty.

"The First Amendment was designed to allow for disruption of business as usual. It is not a quite and subdued amendment or right." Naomi Wolf
Freedom of speech is a right that we must be vigilant to maintain. This right is the cornerstone to maintaining a free society and must be protected. It is no doubt hard to defend when individuals spread hatred, fear, and other social ills. But, this is the price of freedom.
My father's childhood friend and later college roommate was David Goldberger, the ACLU lawyer who famously defended the Nazis in the important landmark case; National Socialist Part of America v. Village of Skokie. Goldberger was the Jewish lawyer who, against the wishes of his mother, defended free speech for the most disliked group in America and perhaps the world at that time, the Nazis. Goldberger believed, and so did the ACLU, that freedom of speech belongs to everyone, not just to those you agree with. He was a true American Hero who, for the general good of the country, risked his personal relationships and risked being an outcast within his own community. Today we need that same courage to ensure our freedoms stay intact in the new communication age we find ourselves in.
My father has many stories about his friend David. He recalls a time in college when an obnoxious individual hung a burning cross to the outside of their dorm room in college. As explained by my father, it is actually quite a humorous tale. My dad, having a temper, caught the guy, lifted him up and threatened to beat him up. The beating may have occurred, but the man literally crapped his pants and ran away (this did happen). Now that's a funny tale, but during that whole episode, David Goldberger remained calm. He had become accustomed to a certain level of harassment. Occurrences like this made his defense of the Nazis that much more incredible.
This episode of Business Game Changers we discuss freedom of speech and whether our rights are being slowly eroded. Daniel Liszt, a.k.a. Dark Journalist, joins us to dive into this topic. He explains what is happening to journalists in the United States and how Google, Facebook, our government, and other entities are systematically censoring the alternative media and silencing journalists.
Dark Journalist is an independent journalist and thought leader in the alternative media. His work is heavily sought after because of the professional manner in which he covers important topics that are typically shunned by the mainstream media. He has been very popular online racking up millions of views by his followers.

Tesco shares rise
The top movers list in the FTSE has been dominated by the food retailers as Tesco's CEO Dave Lewis has done a considerably better job of calming market fears than his Sainsbury's counterpart Mike Coupe managed yesterday. Tesco's share price jump of over 13% over the day is maybe as much a reflection of how aggressively its shares have been treated over the last six months as it is of the optimism that today's figures have generated.
In contrast, the selloff by over 4% in Marks & Spencer's shares, following disappointing figures linked to delays to online deliveries in December, highlights how serious retail firms must be in meeting their online sales commitments.
Today's Bank of England announcement on interest rates was a bit of a non-event, and having remained unchanged since February 2009 no one was expecting January to be the month for change.
The calm following the release of recent global economic data has given equities an opportunity to tick higher and retrace some of their losses from earlier in the week. Traders are only too aware that the current tranquillity could come crashing down with industrial production figures from the UK and Europe, along with US non-farm payroll figures and unemployment rate changes all pencilled in for release tomorrow.
Dow near 18,000
The Dow Jones has followed on from yesterday's strong moves higher by adding 250 points during the first couple of hours trading. These moves have once again put the Dow within striking distance of the 18,000 level and US traders' optimism is more naturally suited to setting higher highs than battling to hang onto support levels.
Last night's patient Federal Open Market Committee comments have given the markets a sense of stability, in the knowledge that interest rate rises will materialise but only when the time is right.
It is not always the most accurate of indicators but yesterday's better-than-expected ADP employment change figures have suggested that Fridays non-farm payrolls have it in them to beat expectations.
Gold's appeal dwindles
Buoyant equity markets have triggered a selloff in gold as the flustered mindset of traders has once again settled down; meaning the allure of the precious metal's stability has waned.
During the last few months we have seldom seen oil too far from the headlines, but today appears to be one of those respite moments that has seen an upturn in both Brent crude and WTI, easing the nerves of energy traders. Squeezed oil prices are yet to hamper US fracking production as the latest oil export figures are the healthiest in twenty years.
EUR/USD below $1.180
The descent in EUR/USD has shown no sign of slowing today after breaking below $1.180. In a little less than a month 700 pips have been knocked off as the comparative strength of the US dollar has shown little sign of reversing. Following the moves of the last 24 hours currency traders are already looking to the $1.1630 region of support last seen almost a decade ago in October 2005.
Surprising no one, the Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged and left the asset purchase facility at £375 billion. This has done very little to slow the fall in GBP/USD as it continues its move to $1.500.

The future has arrived. It touched down in Toronto the last week of July. There more than 5,000 people assembled for the First Global Conference on the Future, a vast intellectual and moral smorgasbord organized by the Canadian Futures Society and the Washington-based World Futures Society.
The most striking thing about this gathering of forecasters, professors, politicians, bureaucrats, clergypeople, journalists, healers, bankers, demographers, consultants, evangelists, venture capitalists, and other professional dreamers was that most of them seemed to be looking forwardm to the future.
Seven or eight years ago, such a conclave would have been a frightening experience. The conferees would have been told that we were running out of food , water, and energy; that the spread and use of nuclear weapons was inevitable; that environmental degradation was irreversible; that growth could not be sustained; that the curve of world population was exponential; that despite all the development aid more of the world's people each year were illiterate, malnourished, and poor; that women were still a neglected resource; and that the "me generation" didn't care.
The few dozen futurists who might have bothered to come to such a meeting would not have felt they could do anything much but cry havoc, predict disaster, and sell books.
But in 1980, the people willing without a deprecating smile to call themselves futurists are numbered in the tens of thousands. And their mood is upbeat, affirmative, can-do. Maurice Strong, the creative Canadian entrepreneur who was the honorary chairman of the Toronto affair, summed it up: "The bad news ," he said, "is that the world is coming to an end. The good news is: not yet, and not necessarily."
It turns out that we are not running out of resources, just deficient in imagination about resources.
It turns out that security is not mostly a military problem, that nuclear weapons are too big and clumsy to use in real-world politics. Indeed, the big threat to the human race may not be a global cataclysm but a slower and more agonizing process, a rigidified incapacity to cope. The scariest image may no longer be the mushroom cloud but the disintegration of governance in a hundred Lebanons, Cambodias, or El Salvadors.
It turns out that the human environment has a constituency, that people make smog and water pollution and deserts and chlorofluorocarbons and carbon dioxide, and people can, if they will, control themselves. (One panelist in Toronto even presented it as good news that the biggest controversy between Canadians and Americans these days is no longer over trade policy or television or newsmagazines or even oil deliveries. It's over an environmental issue, acid rain.)
It turns out that a sustainable growth can be managed. But we will have to reject both supergrowth and no-growth nostrums and develop a new economics of human needs and human purposes.
It turns out that population growth is not exponential but is just another biological S-curve. Fertility rates are declining all over the world, the consequence of an unplanned symbiosis of chemicals, women's instincts, development, and hope.
It turns out that we can abolish poverty and hunger -- and that the job can be done by early in the next century if we get seriously to work on it now.
It turns out that women do make an enormous difference as they flood the work force with their energies and step gently but firmly into the back rooms where the boys have been making the policy. (It's evidently both an exhilarating and a sobering experience, this new opportunity for female leadership. One woman who chaired a panel in Toronto with charming decisiveness was congratulated afterwards. "Thanks," she said, "but I don't think I've quite got it yet. I can't yet achieve that female softness that the best male chairman seem to use.")
It turns out, finally, that the "me generation" does care. Gallup, the delegates in Toronto were told, finds that 87 percent of American teenagers pray or meditate, and two-thids of them believe their prayers have been answered.
The self-conscious study of the future is useful not for forecasting, but to derive from a comparison of alternative destinies a strategy for what to do starting tomorrow morning.
The community of futurists has its share of computerized Cassandras and one-issue messiahs. But the best of the futurists have been immensely influential in hastening this massive change of mind and mood, enhancing this emerging sense that we the people can govern after all -- and above all in reinforcing this growing conviction that, despite the complexity of it all, each of us can make a difference if we try.
The futurists' favorite cliche these days is "paradigm shift," and with good reason: Quite obviously, something very big has been happening these past seven or eight years. IT's been happening where it has to happen first, in the minds of people at large.
The trouble is that institutions -- governments and political parties and corporations and labor unions and universities and establishments of all kinds -- don't change as fast as people can change their minds. The so-called leaders always seem to have to be led by the so-called followers. But at least a good many followers are breaking free of the gloom of the seventies, and that has to be good news.

Socially maintained behavioural traditions in non-human species hold great interest for biologists, anthropologists and psychologists.
This book treats traditions in non-human species as biological phenomena that are amenable to the comparative methods of inquiry used in contemporary biology. Chapters in the first section define behavioural traditions, and indicate how they can arise in non-human species, how widespread they may be, how they may be recognized and how we can study them. The second part summarizes cutting-edge research programmes seeking to identify traditions in diverse taxa in contributions from leading researchers in this area. The book ends with a comparison and evaluation of the alternative theoretical formulations and their applications presented in the book, and lays out recommendations for future research building on the most promising evidence and lines of thinking.
The Biology of Traditions will be essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of anthropology, biology and psychology.
Paperback re-issue; originally published in 2003.
'! essential reading !'. Animal Behaviour '! a valuable addition to the library of any primatologist with an interest in social learning.' Primate Eye 'I think this volume is worth reading in order to be familiar with various studies of tradition and social learning, especially those of capuchin monkeys. Readers of this book will find a very wide range of interests regarding tradition or culture in animals that could even bridge various existing research domains.' Primates '! a rich and comprehensive volume, grounded in traditional ethology, that offers a timely complement to a library of volumes on social learning in animals. Fragaszy and Perry have assembled interesting and provocative contributions from some of the leading researchers in the field of social learning ! we heartily recommend this book ! much of the material in this book, and especially the first and last chapters, would be of value to any researcher working in the field.'

With heavy heart and total submission to the will of Almighty we announced the demise of Mrs. Adesuyi Bolanle, an Asst Chief Nursing Officer - Accident/Emergency of this institution.
She died late hours of Saturday 17th December, 2016.
Rest in Peace.
The deceased persons are believed to have contracted the deadly virus from a Lebanese patient who later died.
The hospital cancelled a planned Christmas carol scheduled for Tuesday in honour of the dead.
The acting medical director of the hospital said the deaths were being investigated.
"It is true and we have commenced investigation into it, having contacted the Ministry of Health," he said.
The state commissioner for health, Babatunde Ipaye, called for calm, saying the government had always been proactive on issues relating to public health.
He said the ministry in collaboration with federal authorities would quickly set up an isolation center at the premises to attend to emergencies.
"We are going to immediately create an isolation center here at FMC to cater for unexpected cases and emergency on public health issues like Lassa fever to include others communicable diseases and have set officers out to confirm the root of the cases," he said.
Born in 1973, the nurse joined the Federal Medical Centre in December 2001, and rose to the position of Assistant Chief Nursing Officer.

The symptoms of pheochromocytoma include pallor, chest pain, abdominal pain, irritability, nervousness, palpitations, sweating, weight loss, rapid heart rate and severe headache, notes the United States National Institutes of Health's MedlinePlus. Other symptoms that can occur with this condition include sleeping difficulty, hand tremor and hypertension. Most of the symptoms appear during attacks when the tumor releases hormones.
Pheochromocytoma is an uncommon tumor that occurs in the adrenal gland tissue, notes MedlinePlus. It occurs due to the release of excess epinephrine and norepinephrine, hormones that regulate heart pulse, and blood pressure. The tumors grow in the center of one or both adrenal glands, and very few of these tumors are cancerous. The tumor can affect the person of any age, but it is common in people between the age of 20 to 50. If left untreated, the tumor can lead to severe or life-threatening damage to other body parts.
Treatment for pheochromocytoma involves removal of the tumor through a surgical operation. The doctor uses certain medications to stabilize a patient's heart pulse and blood pressure prior to the surgery. Staying in the hospital after the procedures allows a doctor to monitor the patient for any complications. In some cases, a surgery cannot be an effective method, a doctor prescribes medication that control the hormones to manage the tumor.

The Best Mother EVER.
2-24-2013 ~ Fresh Flowers in my yard. (Tiny Wild Flowers)
Wood Sorrels are also known as "wild shamrocks". Shamrocks are, of course, associated with St. Patrick's Day. According to legend, St. Patrick, a missionary, used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to a tribal chief. The leaf in the lower right is the "shamrock" leaf of this plant.

Under the second amendment of the Bill of Rights, we the people have the right to keep and bear arms. The constitution does not specify if the firearm has to be seen or concealed. Therefore, technically there is a right for any American citizen to legally own a firearm. However, there is no law saying the bill of rights can't be changed.
I believe in Shall-issue concealed carry laws. May-issue is ripe for corruption and too much bureaucracy. I do believe however different states should have the flexibility to decide what the criteria is for the permits as long as it is fair and shall-issue for those who meet the criteria. I don't think politicians or celebrities should automatically get a permit while a trained individual gets denied. If there is a set benchmark I'm for it. I also think states should have the right to deny or accept out of state permits based on the criteria the other state requires for permit holders. That said I don't care if they require a class, fingerprints, passport photos, mental health test, shooting test, safety training, or what as long as it is equal for everybody who meets the criteria can get a shall issue permit and the price should not be more than an average lower middle class person could pay for something they deemed a need. Say $200, preferably less. Also I think the minimum should be a background check and a class that at least explains the rules, responsibilities and a safety test.
The second amendment states that people will have the right to keep and bear arms. "Keeping arms" logically should be interpreted as the right to own firearms. "Bearing arms" would logically mean the right to carry them, or use them in case of self-defense. As long as the second amendment is not repealed, concealed firearms should be allowed.
The second Amendment states that we have the right to bear arms. The amendment does not state that we have to conceal our weapons. In Oklahoma, we have an open carry law where people can walk into public with their gun in the open. There are some exceptions, such as schools and colleges, who have the right to deny students having weapons on hand due to the potential for school violence.
The second amendment guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms in order to be part of a 'well regulated militia', in order to serve their communities in a regulated and disciplined way. It doesn't mean that people can carry any weapons they want to in any place or in any manner they choose.

As Americans celebrated the 10th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War - in various places with parades and somber ceremonies - the Vietnamese celebrated too. And American television crews "covered" the observances there.
What the networks didn't - and couldn't - cover is the fact that the Vietnamese war in Southeast Asia didn't end 10 years ago. It continues, with no signs of abating, to this day.

Ted was a salesman, mainly door to door, for a company with a wide range of products. One of his customers, Mrs Jensen a recent divorcee, phoned him and set up a date for him to come by and do a cosmetics demonstration for her and her friends. Ted loved in house demos, a great way to sell a lot of product.
He showed up at Mrs Jensen's house and was pleased to see at least a dozen women. He showed them some product and offered to do a rinse and tint for a volunteer. They all crowded into Mrs Jensen's bathroom and Ted got Mrs Symes to sit down with her head in the sink. All went well with both the rinse and tint until Mrs Symes saw herself in the mirror. She went ballistic at the tint color, screaming it was not at all what she was expecting. Even Ted had to admit the tint was sort of strange, a bright shade of blue. Ted was trying to keep a straight face but finally burst out laughing at Mrs Symes and her blue hair. All the women took offense at Ted laughing at Mrs Symes and started to tell him off. Mrs Symes exploded and kicked Ted square in the nuts. Ted let out a strangled scream, snapped his legs together, holding his nuts and sank to his knees with a stunned expression of surprise on his face. He leaned forward and threw up on Mrs Jensen's clean bathroom tile floor. Mrs Jensen started screaming about her perfect bathroom tiles and reached down and grabbed Ted by his nuts and lifted him up and marched him out of the house to the garden, threatening she would cut his nuts off if he was sick in her house again. As soon as she got him out to the garden poor Ted promptly threw up on Mrs Jensen, right down her front. Mrs Symes with the blue hair was shouting that she wanted to kick him in the nuts again. Ted was wailing in agony and all the other women were rocking with laughter. Ted's in-house demo was going down hill fast. Mrs Jensen was livid. She was still holding Ted by his nuts and with Mrs Symes help she got his pants off. With one hand Mrs Jensen still had Ted by his nuts and with her other hand she managed to get her blouse off where Ted had been sick. All she had on under the blouse was a half bra, something that held her breasts up and ended just under the nipples. She looked magnificent and she was angrier than she had ever been in her life.
Just then Mrs Jensen's ex husband very unfortunately came by to pick up some of his belongings still at the house. He heard the commotion from the garden and went out back. Now Mrs Jensen nearly lost her mind with anger. In addition to Ted here was her ex husband walking into her house like he still owned it, the bastard. He stood with his mouth open, turned on by his ex wife squeezing some guys nuts, almost topless. Mrs Jensen handed Ted's nuts to Mrs Symes to squeeze and walked up to her ex husband, took his hands and placed them on her breasts and began to rub his crotch. Then quickly she unzipped him, pulled down his pants and undershorts and grabbed his nuts in one hand and his erection in the other. With one hand she was stroking his hard-on and with her other hand she was squeezing his nuts tighter and tighter. He screamed "Donna, please no, no". She shouted "Its Mrs Jensen to you Burt, you lousy bastard" and crushed his nuts tighter and tighter.
For Mrs Jensen there was nothing better than squeezing her ex's nuts to put a smile on her face. The more pain she was delivering the happier she became. He tried to pull her hands away and she squeezed tighter. She told him to keep his hands away or she would crush his nuts. Burt stood before Mrs Jensen wailing in agony as she laughed and squeezed his nuts. A couple of times he moved his hands to pull at her arms but she squeezed tighter and told him she would crush his nuts if he didn't put his hands on top of his head and keep them there. Mrs Symes saw what Mrs Jensen was doing and copied it for Ted. She had Ted standing naked from the waist down with his legs spread and his hands on top of his head as Mrs Symes held a nut in each hand and squeezed. The other women were crowded around and the expressions on both men's faces had them howling with laughter. Some asked to be given a turn and as a gracious hostess Mrs Jensen handed over Burt's nuts to Betty who was first in line for Burt's nuts and Mrs Symes handed over Ted's nuts to the first of a line up. Eventually all the women had had a go at both pairs of nuts.
By the time all the women were finished with them, both men were bare naked, curled up on the grass, clutching their nuts and moaning. The women went back inside Mrs Jensen's house and sat around talking and laughing about the last few hours with satisfied smiles on their faces.
The door bell rang and Mrs Jensen answered it. It was Frank Murphy from next door. Mrs Jensen though he had come to complain about the noise but was floored with amazement and then began to laugh as she asked Frank into the house and introduced him as her next door neighbour. She said Frank had a request to make. Frank looked extremely ill at ease and said that he had seen how the women had punished the two men in the garden and he said he felt he should be punished also. There was general laughter from the women. Betty asked Frank what he had done that was naughty. Fred said he played with himself. Betty said that wasn't enough to be punished, what else had he done? With an ashamed look on his face Frank said that he often slips into Mrs Jensen's laundry room which is at the back of her house and goes through her dirty laundry and borrows her underpanties. This bought a howl of laughter from the women and a bellow of outrage from Mrs Jensen. She turned to Frank and kicked him in the nuts. He sank to the floor on his knees. Betty was laughing like the other women as she grabbed Frank by his hair and pulled up his head. She asked him what he did with the borrowed panties. Frank said he liked to have two, one he would put over his head so the crotch would be in his face so he could smell it and the other pair of panties he would wrap around his hard-on as he jerked off, imagining he was screwing Mrs Jensen. He said she was the most beautiful sexy woman on earth. Betty turned to Mrs Jensen and laughingly said "Hey sexy, what shall we do with this pervert". Mrs Jensen told Betty to get her a length of rope and a stool. She then asked Betty to strip Frank and tie his wrists behind his back.
Frank was standing before Mrs Jensen with a throbbing erection. She looked at him and smiled and asked him if he really thought she was beautiful and sexy. Frank breathlessly proclaimed everlasting love as Mrs Jensen said she was going to spank him. Frank had a disappointed look on his face with the thought of a spanking but it changed to elation as she took his nuts in her hand and began to spank them. The elation quickly turned to anguish as Mrs Jensen kept up a non stop smacking of his nuts. She offered them to the other women who all took turns spanking Frank's nuts. When they finished Frank sank to the floor. Mrs Jensen stood over him and asked if he still felt everlasting love and Frank groaned that he loved her more than ever before. She laughed and told him that as soon as he could move about she wanted him to mow her grass front and back and if he did a perfect job she would spank him again. Frank promised it would be perfect.

Stocks ended the week on a high note despite hitting a two-year low on Thursday. Despite the gains, the major indexes still saw a second straight week of losses, but one noted technician says he's spotted a key indicator in the market that signals more turmoil ahead.
"When you see the relative performance of utilities, bonds and the S&P 500 index acting opposite to each other, you're about to get another contraction," Cornerstone Macro technical analyst Carter Worth told CNBC's "Fast Money" traders last week.
Worth took a closer look at the historical correlation between those three factors as well as gold and corporate bonds. He explained that the commonality between each divergence and contraction is that they all took place during periods of recession.

Harrys Adventures
Lands End by bike
This time Harry went from John O'Groats to Lands End on the handlebars of a bike !
Special congratulations to the participants of the 'John O'Groat's to Lands End' bike ride. Three local Evesham men rode the length of the country to raise funds for The Tracy Sollis Leukaemia Trust. Paul Edmondson, Oli Steward and Nick Berry commenced peddling on Monday 16th April 2007 and aimed to cover 1,000 miles in 10 days. They reached Lands End at 2.30pm on Wednesday 25th April. There was a welcoming party of approximately 60 people waiting at the finishing line, which included friends, family and The Trust's Founder Member, Sue Sollis. The men arrived tired but cheerful, having raised in excess of five thousand pounds.
About Bikes from Blackminster, Nr Evesham provided considerable support by not only donating three top of the range 'TREK' bikes, plus cycling gear, but also member of staff Ollie Steward!
The intrepid threesome were easily spotted by their sign written back up van, kindly supplied by The Best of Evesham Ltd. The van was driven by local businessman Mr Michael Rushby of Smart Beauty
Several local companies from the Evesham area also offered their support for the bike ride. Sinclair Transport supplied fuel for the van and Apollo Graphics provided the vehicle signage. Other companies lending their assistance were Evesham Self Drive, Tom Cook Carpet and Flooring, Allen Gears Ltd, and Chris Tallis Agricultural Machinery.
The event was to raise money for state-of-the-art intravenous pumps which will enable local hospital staff to run a more efficient service. The pumps cost £3,000 each. An amazing total of over £5,000 was raised making more than enough to purchase an Intravenous Pump for the Worcester Royal Hospital. The pump was presented by the participants to Charge Nurse Peter James at the Trust's AGM held in May 2008. A big thank you to all sponsors.
Bike Riders Tales:
Sunday 15/04/07 - the journey has begun! We have flown to Aberdeen where Mike will meet us with the support van, to take us the rest of the way up to John O'Groats. The real fun starts tomorrow when, after a phone catch up with Radio Wyvern, we set off for the first day of cycling 100 miles - bring it on!
Monday 16/04/07 - John O'Groats to Alness. We went to get a photo by the famous John O'Groats sign and would you believe it they've taken it down to be painted! Luckily we did manage to find another so we do have proof of where we set off from!! It's been hard work with a strong head wind which slowed us down - the first 103 miles taking us just under 8 hours. We're all VERY happy to reach the first B&B and tick off day one!
Tuesday 17/4/07 - Alness to Fort William. A much better day weather wise - although raining it's not been as windy which made for easier cycling. We followed the route along the Loch's (there was no sign of Nessie!) with the plan being to cover 83 miles and finish for the day in Fort William. However, we all felt okay and had made good time so did an extra 10 miles to make 93 covered in total today. This will make tomorrow a bit easier as we know there's a big hill climb to do.
Wednesday 18/4/07- Fort William to Clydebank. We started the day with a 2,000 ft climb over 9 and a half miles, to the top of Glencoe. Continued through the Highlands and rode the length of Lock Lomond, where Paul fell off his bike when he was in a mood with the others about riding too fast - damn that gravel trap!! Tomorrow might be smelly as none of us fancy the look of the communal showers in the Glasgow Youth Hostel!!!
Thursday 19/4/07 - Clydebank to Lockerbie. Left Glasgow in torrential rain and proceeded to get lost in the one way system for 30 minutes - we had to stop at the police station to ask for directions!! Eventually got out and followed the back road to Lockerbie - it seems the route to England really is downhill! We had a great run so carried on to do an extra 15 miles finishing in Gretna Green and making 93 miles in total today - bring on England tomorrow!!
Friday 20/4/07- Lockerbie to Lancaster. Left Lockerbie and drove over to Gretna where we finished yesterday. After the predictable photo of the 3 of us getting married we set off for England!! Conditions probably couldn't have been much worse in the morning with torrential rain and wind for over 2 hours. After a hearty lunch the weather improved and we set off once more deeper into England. After a couple of minor detours due to getting confused with signs we arrived in Lancaster. Due to the 3 of us still feeling good we carried on ahead and finished 16 miles further on in Garstang.
Saturday 21/4/07 - Lancaster to Whitchurch. Another good day after being spoilt staying the night at Paul's folks in Blackpool. Flew through Preston (always a good thing) and Warrington but impaired by traffic, although got to Whitchurch (where we are stopping tonight) and decided to carry on towards Telford to knock a few miles off tomorrow. 86 miles in total today and Evesham tomorrow - can't wait to sleep in our own beds for the night!!
Sunday 22/4/07 - Whitchurch to Evesham. A busy day today with lots of stops, but in between we were flying! First stop at Fenn Green where we had a great welcome, drinks and sandwiches. Second stop at Pinvin for a quick natter with Ann & Rob and to meet up with Adrian & Co who joined us on their bikes, and then on to Evesham to meet Sue & the gang and pose for photo's! We went on to finish the day in Tewkesbury and then after a quick dash home to change we popped over to Gordon Giltrap's concert at The Fleece. Thank you so much to everyone who waved us on along the way - it was a real boost and made the day go much faster. Another 86 miles covered and only 3 days to go - hooray!!
Monday 23/4/07 - Evesham to Bridgewater. Left Tewkesbury this morning and followed the road through Gloucester and Bristol, with two us enjoying the fact that Oli had a hangover!! Made good time and carried on past our stop for the night (Bridgwater) to finish in Wellington - 98 miles in total today. Hopefully we will do about the same tomorrow to finish in Bodmin - the plan being to leave a shorter day on Wednesday. 8 down 2 to go - the end is in sight!
Tuesday 24/4/07 - Bridgewater to Launceston. Well it's been another tough one today - lots of hills which slowed us down a bit, however we are still ahead of schedule and have managed to reduce tomorrows cycling to 60 miles. We sailed past where we were supposed to be stopping tonight at lunchtime, but managed to re-arrange acommodation (thanks to Mike) so we don't have to go back on ourselves in the van! Can't believe this time tomorrow we'll have done it but we're all looking forward to finishing as the knees are starting to hurt now!
Wednesday 25/4/07 - Launceston to Landsend. Apologies for not updating this yesterday but we were all in the pub!! Arrived safely in Lands End at 2.30pm, to a great welcoming party. Possibly one of the toughest days we've had riding - Cornwall is really not nice to cycle through, however it was all worthwhile and the sense of achievement is brilliant. We will be emailing an update with the total raised as soon as we have some idea of the exact amount, but we know it's over £3,000 so THANK YOU to you all.
Thursday 26/4/07- GO HOME!

HELLO AGAIN! Got the idea for this one while listening to an album from my childhood, as in when I was about FOOOOOUUUUUURRRRR yep. Sorry if it sucks. In later chapters there will actually be a little bit of humour! My first story was plain weird.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Tsubasa or any of Clamp's character's :)
Chapter One: Drained
The day was bright and sunny, a perfectly warm day. The sun's warm glow filtered through Lady Sakura's room as she stood in front of her mirror, staring down her attire. Indeed she did not like what she wore, and it was not a day she thoroughly came to enjoy. It was her 21st birthday, and the day of her family's death. Although there was a huge party to celebrate it with other nobles, she felt she truly had no one there to celebrate it with, other than her best friend Chii, who would be unable to attend because of an illness. She felt truly alone.
She wore a lilac dress that fell to the floor; it was strapless and had scratchy white lace that went under her arms. Other than the lace, the dress was pretty plain, and Sakura found it very annoying. The dress was made of silk, yes, but that didn't stop her from wanting to rip it into bits and pieces. She wore a diamond choker, which some flirt had given her as a present for her eighteenth, and her hair was pinned back with an amethyst rose hair clip-a keepsake from her mother which Kanna had given her one year. She walked towards her door, where her matching heels were waiting. She slipped into them, and walked out the door.
The mansion her family left behind wasn't the usual quiet; guests had started arriving already. Sakura didn't want to go out and see the pity on their faces, and started grinding her teeth. She hid around the corner of the stairs, listening.
Instead the maid of the house was taking care of the guests. "Lady Sakura should be out to meet you soon." Kanna said in her soft kind voice. Sakura sighed-it wasn't fair to dump everything on her house maid, and so she stepped out from her hiding spot.
"It's ok Kanna, I'm already here." Sakura announced, putting on a fake smile. Luckily no one noticed her smile, however the maid clearly did.
"It's good to see you Lady Sakura! I wish you the best wishes for your very special day, and my condolences for your family." The guest, a Master of another house, said with a smile handing Sakura a small square box, neatly wrapped. No doubt jewellery, Sakura was thinking. Kanna took the small box and put it on a large table covered in a white table cloth with purple flowers around the edge. "Thank you, I really appreciate it." Sakura replied with a smile. But really, she just wanted to be left alone. She didn't want to be reminded every year of the death of her family. It pissed her off. "You are most welcome; I assume you will be looking for a suitor soon?" He asked politely, his son standing beside him.
Sakura continued to smile politely, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid not…" she answered. "Ah yes, many matters to uphold?" he asked. "It certainly appears that way…" she said, her eyes darting around the room for somewhere else to look-she spotted a few others who were dressed differently from the dress code which interested her-especially the one person who was wearing black, red and gold. "Please excuse Lady Sakura, she has many guests she must speak with." Kanna, the maid, freed Sakura from the conversation. "It is nice to see you." The master spoke kindly. "You too, please enjoy your evening here." Sakura said, keeping her smile. However, as soon as he left, the smile left her lips almost immediately.
More and more guests started arriving, and Sakura just wanted to hide. She could hear the whispers- she knew what they were thinking. "Oh that poor girl; why doesn't she find someone to spend her life with already?" she could hear them saying it. Other things like "What do you think really happened to her family?" and "maybe she was the one who actually murdered them!"
murder? What? Sakura didn't even know what happened to her family! She had no memory of the incident that had happened when she was 12! Now they're deciding to blame it on her. Sakura just wanted to end the party here and now, but she couldn't, she had to keep her calm. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into the palms of her hands.
"It's rather sad isn't it?" Sakura jumped as she heard the masculine voice beside her. It was calm, soothing, and had a hint of sadness in it. Sakura turned and faced the man. Her heart skipped a beat. His hair, dark brown, like chocolate. His face looked perfect. He wore black red and gold as his attire. A black suit and his coat decorated with gold chains across the front of his chest. The red embroidery on the cuffs of the sleeves wasn't noticeable unless you were paying attention, and it really suited it. His tie stood out against the rest of his clothing, being red. "I'm afraid I'm not following." Sakura whispered. He turned to face her completely, his amber eyes staring right into her emerald eyes. "It's sad how they can say such things about you, without understanding your suffering and loss completely. It must upset you a great deal." His eyes were searching for something in hers, as if looking through her soul.
Sakura felt weakened by this man. Or perhaps weakened wasn't the right word, but she felt she could collapse into him and tell him anything. But she'd only just met him, how could she trust him? "No, I it doesn't bother me." Sakura lied. Of course it bothered her. He held her gaze. "Then what are those tears for?" He asked. She was crying? She didn't even notice. No one ever made her get this emotional except for Chii, who wasn't there because of her illness. "Let me take you to the balcony for some fresh air." He said, taking her hand in his.
Careful not to get any attention he carefully brought her out onto the balcony. The sun had just set and the cool night air felt good against her skin. "Who are you?" Sakura asked. Sakura had noticed he was different from everyone else. There was this feeling she couldn't shake. A smile flashed across his face. "Lord Syaoran, my Lady." He bowed. "You're different from the others." She stated. "How so?" he lifted an eyebrow. "All the men are wearing lilac and black while the women wear lilac and white, while you wear something that is completely different to the dress code. Most wouldn't dare do that." Sakura answered. "Are you mad?" he asked. "I love it." She admitted.
Now that was what confused him. He circled her. "Why?" he asked her. "I don't like this colour. There's something about it that stirs feelings of hatred within me, and I don't know why." She wanted to snap something. "You didn't get to choose the theme did you?" he laughed. Sakura shook her head. "May I have this dance?" he offered his hand out to her, and she took it without saying a word, but gave him a genuine smile.
Everyone gasped at the site. They weren't expecting her to dance with him. A lot of the single men were saying that he had bribed her, who knows, maybe somehow he had. Syaoran tightened his grip around her waist and suddenly the lights went out. Sakura felt fangs bite deep into her neck, and her eyes widened in shock. The pain caused her vision to go blurry. She was now digging her nails into the flesh of the hand she was holding onto-his hand. Sakura was so confused. Pain. Blood running down her neck. Her life now edging away. She could hear screams in the distance; it must have been everyone at the party. Darkness consumed Sakura, and the last words she heard were Syaoran's soft voice in her ear, telling her she was his. Her eyes fluttered closed, and her body went numb.
A/N So yeah. I know. Depressing. I went through and fixed a few things, and added some things. I'm doing this to all the chapters.

Education is the treasure, which can neither be stolen nor appropriated by anyone. Education gives you knowledge and knowledge gives you happiness and blossoms your life. Educate self and educate others, when you are within or outside the portals of any educational institute. Society is becoming more complex day by day and it is mainly because the knowledge is withering away and the mind is shrinking and the man is becoming selfish. Without a rather open and wide mentality we cannot approach any modern problem. Without it, we cannot clarify the social and intellectual background from which current ideas emerged. I am reminded of the words of Prof. Jean Wahi, who said, "We must be both conscious of what great thinkers have accomplished and also eager to find elsewhere a more adequate and richer vision of reality. We must be familiar with them, bear them in mind and salute them, before bidding them a personal adieu. We must not forget them."
Every moment is precious in the process of learning and every bit is important to gain knowledge. I hope, the cultural and tradition followed by the Invertians which have been widely appreciated by one and all would be a model for other institutions and kept up by the Invertians in future as well.
Prof. Jagdish Rai

50 Cent Turns Book into Film
May 2009
BlackNews.com - What does the recent police shootings in New York City of victims like Sean Bell have to do with the urban novel Officer Down by Mo Shines and 50 Cent's Cheetah Vision Films?
Officer Down recently caught the eye of 50 Cent in a chance meeting a few weeks ago. Shines says, "Once 50 read it, there was no way he could deny it. Officer Down is the perfect fit for Cheetah Vision Films or G-Unit Books. Plus, I feel 50 is the only dude with enough balls to produce a film dealing with real issues taking place in the hood." But the hungry self-published author refuses to sit around waiting for a book deal. "I gotta do it independently until I find a publisher that believes in my vision. Time waits for no man."
Officer Down is the story of a scorned mother hell-bent on bloody vengeance. In a tumultuous time when the NYPD was involved in the deaths of several young, black men, Faith Green's world is shattered when her son becomes yet another casualty. Enraged by the circumstances surrounding her son's death, she takes the law into her own hands after the cops responsible get off with a slap on the wrist. With the help of her gun trafficking boyfriend and his disgruntled Marine brother, Faith exacts her revenge by knocking off the cops one by one, leaving the entire city on edge.
Mo Shines' writing derives from the harsh and grim realities he was exposed to growing up. Shines says Officer Down was inspired "by all the minorities gunned down by the police--Eleanor Bumpers, Amadou Diallo, Patrick Dourisman, Sean Bell...any of them could've been me. Writing this book also helped me release the anger and frustration I felt as a black man. Growing up in the hood, I've stared down the barrels of quite a few overzealous cops."
The author wants to make his intentions clear, however. He doesn't want it to seem like he's endorsing violence against police officers. "In no way am I saying for people to go out and shoot cops. That would only make matters worse. Besides, there are a lot of good cops out there; but then there are the trigger-happy ones. They don't seem to value human life."
Shines states that the theme embedded in Officer Down is "...if you don't stand for something, you die for nothing. People can only take so much before finally striking back." Coupling a fast-paced, intense plot with a strong message, "Officer Down" reaches out to a diverse audience.

Vicki - Great photos! I'll have to tell you how my guilt aunord police officers landed me in BIG trouble when I was in high school and I didn't even do anything wrong!
- Fantastic shots he is just too cute! I love the angels and the vtaeiry. And I had to laugh. Every time I see a cop car I'm hoping I'll get pulled over just so I can argue that I'm not doing anything wrong LOL! I know, I'm weird.
- Joanna these are so so amazing, I love these mom and me type of sssnioes!! I also especially love the wide angles where you're real close in, such an intimate feeling to them.. and the one of him with his fingers shaped into a heart on his chest, there's just something about the way he has his hands positioned that totally makes the picture amazing.

This is my all-time favorite book ever. I first read it my fshmeran year in high school, three years ago, during a very rough time in my life and I absolutely fell in love with it. I loved the style, I LOVED the characters, I loved the story. I'm using part of the first page as my senior quote and making my book club read it this month. I'm super excited for all the activities in this program!
