Gone Wild by Dakota Madison
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Go BACK TO BOOKMAN with USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Dakota Madison's new #LoveinMidlife #ComingofMiddleAge romantic comedy series.
Tenured English professor Bly Daniels believes the short walk from her campus office to the university library is too much exposure to the harsh elements of the outdoors. She would prefer to spend her days (and nights) comfortably seated indoors reading classic literature.
When Bly is arrested for reading one of the great books while driving home, a judge sentences her to thirty days of community service with The Wild Way, a therapeutic wilderness program for troubled teens.
There she meets Turner Wild, the owner and operate of the wilderness program. Turner is everything Bly despises: rugged, unrefined and outdoorsy. For Bly a trip to hell sounds more desirable than spending an entire month with Turner and his band of hooligans as they traverse the woods of rural northwest New Jersey communing with nature.
Bly certainly never expects to form a bond with the troubled teens she's been assigned to mentor and forge an unlikely relationship with their fearless leader, Turner Wild.
Each full-length novel in Dakota Madison's LOVE IN MIDLIFE romantic comedy series can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the series. Each story features one of the graduates of Bookman College attending their 25th reunion.
"This is as far as I go," the crusty old cab driver barks as he stops in front of a long dirt road that disappears into the woods.
"How far is it to the wilderness camp?" I ask.
"Pretty far, I would imagine. It's not visible from the road at all."
"And how am I supposed to get there?"
"I guess you're just going to have to walk."
I laugh until I realize he's not joking. He expects me to walk into the woods on a dirt road that is God knows how long.
Then I realize I'll also have to carry my bag as well. I could barely carry my suitcase to the front stoop for him to place in his truck.
"I can only take the cab on paved roads," he tells me. "Company rules."
Is that supposed to make me feel better? It doesn't.
I heave a huge sigh. "How much do I owe you?"
I hand him three ten dollar bills, plus a five dollar tip.
"Let me get your bag out of the trunk."
When he exits the cab I take a moment to compose myself. I'm already so far out of my comfort zone I feel like I'm having a panic attack, and I haven't even made it to the camp yet.
You're an intelligent woman with a doctoral degree, I remind myself. You can do this.
By the time I exit the cab my bag is already on the side of the road waiting for me.
"Good luck," the cab driver says.
It probably wasn't the smartest idea I ever had to wear a dress and pumps. In my defense I don't have much else in my wardrobe. Work attire and lounging outfits for around the house are about it. When I teach I always wear a dress or a suit with dress shoes. I wouldn't be caught dead outside of my home in one of my lounging outfits.
Calling the dirt pathway a road is extremely generous. The trail is much rockier and uneven than I initially thought. The shoes I'm wearing are not even close to being appropriate for the conditions. I'll be lucky if I don't turn an ankle.
My suitcase is another problem entirely. I can barely make it a few feet before I have to set it down. The muscles in my arms are already throbbing and I haven't even made it far enough to spot the end of the trail yet.
Luckily it's still early in the day. I've got many hours of sunlight left. Even if it takes me several hours walking a few steps at a time I should make it there before dark.
Unless it's a few miles to the camp, then I'll be in a bit of trouble.
Two hours and thirty seven minutes later I've had about all that I can take. My feet are blistered and aching. I'm afraid when I finally remove my shoes my feet will be bloody as well.
My arms are so weak I don't think I can lift the suitcase again.
And I'm on the verge of complete exhaustion.
What was I thinking packing so much stuff? I was thinking I'll be here an entire month and I need reading materials.
Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road.
Those words from T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land' seem appropriate right now. I take a seat on my suitcase and wipe the sweat from my brow with a tissue that I just happened to have shoved in my pocket. I can't even remember the last time I sweated. It may have been in high school when we were forced to play those utterly horrendous sports in our Physical Education classes.
I was supposed to be at the apex of my career this year. I was finally promoted from Associate to Full Professor. Edgar had been hinting that when he retired I was first in line to take over as Chairperson of the English Department. I was just a few months away from paying off the mortgage on my house.
Now it looks like I might lose everything, and I'm sitting in the middle of the woods helpless to do anything about it. Edgar was not happy when I told him I needed to take a month of personal leave and he'd need to find a substitute to teach my classes. That coupled with the fact that my arrest and conviction has tarnished the reputation of the institution does not bode well for me still having a career upon my return from this journey into the wilderness.
The sun is starting to get higher overhead, and it's beating down on me. I'm not sure how much of the blistering brightness my pale skin can take. I should probably edge closer to the tree line where it's shaded, but I'm too exhausted to move.
I'm just about to fall asleep seated on my suitcase when a large pickup truck whizzes by. I try to raise a hand to wave the driver over, but to no avail. My arm won't lift high enough.
Instead I choke on the dust left in the truck's wake.
Then to my surprise the trucks comes to a screeching halt, reverses and heads back towards me.
When I rise to greet the driver my legs feel like cooked noodles. They're so weak I can barely control them as I move towards the truck.
My eyes go wide when I see who has hopped out of the vehicle. The driver is a young, petite woman of Asian descent.
From the neck up she's beautiful, with long silky dark hair and perfect features. From the neck down she's dressed like a man. She's wearing well-worn jeans, black combat boots and a green Army jacket.
"Are you lost?" Her tone is accusatory, definitely not friendly.
I shake my head.
"You know this road leads to a wilderness camp for troubled teens."
"I do."
She looks me up and down. "You don't look like you're ready for the wilderness, and you're definitely not a teenager."
"I'm aware of that." My voice is weary. "I'm court ordered to be here. Community service."
She rolls her eyes. "Lucky us."
"Unfortunately the cab driver wouldn't take me beyond the main road. I've been walking for hours."
"Would you like a lift?" She raises an eyebrow.
"That would be greatly appreciated. Thank

Trackpad doesn't sit flush on new topcase
I had to replace the topcase on my air and while it works and everything went back together properly, the only way to make the touchpad work so it didnt sit loose was to turn the set screw far enough that the bottom slightly sits higher than the palmrest (photo below). The top of the touchpad thats closest to the keyboard looks normal where it sits slightly below the top case but the bottom is raised about 1 mm. All works fine but i'm worried about long term functionality and that it doesnt look like it did before. any help would be appreciated
Is this a good question?

I just wrote this whole thing - and it self-deleted...hmmmm...is that possible - maybe user error??? Hahahaha. Ahhh.
Miss M has been waking up at two am every morning this week. Rough nights and rough days. Last night, I told her that she needed to stay in bed until it was morning because nighttime is for sleeping and not getting up. I told her that if she didn't hear us up then it was still night and she would have to go back to sleep and wait for the morning.
After I got into the shower, SN said that she called him and told him that she had to go to the bathroom and then went right back and sat on her bed.... Hmmmm...I guess I wasn't clear because I didn't mean that she LITERALLY needed to sit on her bed until I came to get her, but that was the message that she got.... I don't want her up at two, but I also don't want her to think that she CAN'T get up at all.....
I ordered her a monkey alarm clock so that she knows when it's morning. If she wakes up and the monkey's eyes are still closed, it means its nighttime and she needs to go back to sleep, if his eyes are open, it's morning and she can get up. I think that will help clear up any confusion I may have created. We will see how that works! Should be here next week.
Still tired, but not as bad as Monday or Tuesday!
More later!

Deana M. - posted on 06/02/2010 ( 23 moms have responded )
ok....My first child is 9 months old and I have been breastfeeding her the whole time. I used to have very "perky" boobs...not huge but decent. I was a 36B when I got pregnant. I lost all my preggo weight and Im now a 38D. My boobs are sagging soooo badly and I hate it soo much! Do they go back to normal when you stop breastfeeding or am I doomed to old lady boobs for the rest of my life? Are there any specific things I can do to improve this?? I know it sounds funny but I know there have to be other moms out there experiencing the same thing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

In a showing of unity between two historically acrimonious professions, doctors and lawyers are working together to reshape tort law and continue to force insurance companies to promptly pay the funds due to doctors for services performed. Trial lawyers, serving as a legal voice to the heathcare community, are pursuing doctors' claims that insurance companies are denying coverage, and failing to pay in a timely fashion for services performed to those insurance company's customers.
Mikal Watts (inset: left), a plaintiff's bar attorney in South Texas, is leading the charge in this fight investing millions of dollars in medical data mining software to analyze insurance claims and total cost of services due to Texas medical professionals. Although the medical profession, operating in very slim profit margins, typically does not pursue small claims and collection of small dollar amounts, when such amounts begin to stack up, the profit losses start to become immense. Watts, in commenting on the potential amount due to the Texas medical professionals, stated "in total, we already have identified hundreds of millions of dollars in amounts due to our clients."
Although Watts represents a team of powerhouse attorneys, the fight may be further frustrated by medical companies pressuring the Texas legislature to pass upcoming healthcare and insurance reforms which would seek to limit the amount of total money that can be paid out to medical professionals by law.
In the continued fight against insurance companies for appropriate payment to doctors, and coverage of customers, attorneys can provide an important service to both groups, and work towards the payment of statutory penalties for late claims. If you are a medical professional, and believe that you are entitled to statute-mandated damages from one or more insurance companies, contacting a legal professional is the first step towards receiving your damages.

Judy Golding's talk, 'William Golding and the Lord of the Flies' just about to start at the Ideas Festival. I'll be tweeting #williamgolding
Judy started writing the Children of Lovers immediately after her father died because she was worried she would forget #williamgolding
John Carey asked to write biography of William as Judy unable to be objective #williamgolding
Realised that the memoir had a particular voice - that of herself as a child and an adult. Book almost like a film script #williamgolding
After near-fatal accident at sea, Judy began to realise her parents were vulnerable people #williamgolding
William was a hero to Judy as a child - she saw him as a huge solid figure. #williamgolding
Links between Judy and William became more fractured as she grew up #williamgolding
Never doubted that William loved her and knew she could rely on him. Judy didn't feel she could rely on her mother #williamgolding
Do great writers have something monstrous about them? #williamgolding
William Golding was an alpha male. Possessed a magnetism that meant eyes were drawn to him. #williamgolding
Judy: it's a dangerous thing to take on the responsibility of another life. #williamgolding
William didn't become famous immediately - it was during the early 60s when he became a well known public figure.
Judy's lecturers at university asked her what Golding meant in Lord of the Flies #williamgolding
Realized when she read Golding's journals that he told himself lots of uncomfortable truths #williamgolding
Golding told Judy not to read The Inheritors as a child - too upsetting #williamgolding
Books were curiously intimate to Golding, and the family as a whole did not really discuss them #williamgolding
While he was writing Lord of the Flies, it was as if Golding was on a coral island; such was his immersion in the novel #williamgolding
Question about Golding's journals. They equal two and a half million words! #williamgolding
Golding wrote in his Journals: there is always an audience. Judy describes reading them as 'thrilling'. #williamgolding

Published online: March 30, 2017
About 7% of the United States population thinks they are allergic to penicillin. Less than 5% of the 7% truly are. It is well known than individuals who carry a penicillin allergy label, even if unconfirmed, will be exposed to alternative broad-spectrum antibiotics that have much more severe side effects, such as killing off important protective bowel bacteria and causing Clostridium difficile. Previous studies have shown that penicillin allergy testing is safe and has many short-term benefits, such as enabling the use of less expensive narrow-spectrum penicillins when needed. The long-term benefits of penicillin allergy testing and the effects it has on overall healthcare use, until now, have been unproven.
In a recent article published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, Macy and Shu reported on a group of 308 individuals with a history of penicillin allergy who were penicillin allergy tested between 2010 and 2012. A very well matched group of 1251 individuals with history of penicillin allergy, who were not penicillin allergy tested, was then selected. Both groups were then followed for all inpatient and outpatient clinical care used over a 3.6-year period. All antibiotic use and all new antibiotic-associated side effects were also recorded.
Patients who had penicillin allergy testing had significantly fewer out-patient visits and spent on average about ½ a day less in the hospital during every year of follow-up. Tested patients were more likely to get narrow-spectrum penicillin and first generation cephalosporins. Tested patient were less likely to get clindamycin or macrolide antibiotics. Because the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are associated with more side-effects, was reduced, penicillin allergy testing these 306 individuals saved about 2 million dollars in health care expenses over the 3.6-year follow-up period, mostly accounted for by fewer days in the hospital.
Penicillin allergy testing benefits patients by showing them they can safely use narrow-spectrum penicillin when needed. Penicillin allergy testing benefits society by helping save money that otherwise would have been spent on avoidable healthcare. Penicillin allergy testing continues to pay benefits to both patients and society at large over at least a 3.6-year follow-up period. Penicillin allergy testing aids antibiotic stewardship efforts and help prevent the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria, because more appropriate narrow-spectrum penicillins are used.
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice is an official journal of the AAAAI, focusing on practical information for the practicing clinician.

After our testers had their first experience with the Saab 9-3 Viggen's balky shifter, driveline lash, and unnerving torque steer, they each responded with the same, "Uh-oh." But 9-3s grow on you, as we discovered in our 25K-sedan comparison test last spring. The Viggen is the fastest 9-3 yet, and its increased power brings into sharper focus the 9-3's quirky and even contradictory appeal.
The Saab has the humblest genes in this group. It descends from the Saab 900, circa 1994-98, which was developed from the Opel Vectra, a moderately priced European sedan. Coincidentally perhaps, our Viggen, at $39,048, was the least-expensive car here. The modest origins help explain the Viggen's unseemly chassis flex over rougher roads that the other cars can take in stride. It also explains this car's front-wheel drive, a layout that's less than ideal for a performance car. You're reminded of this every time you accelerate with any authority because the car strays from its intended path. It's what we call torque steer, and the Viggen may have the worst case of it we can remember.
Its wheel-wagging torque steer isn't surprising, given the Viggen's powerful engine: a turbocharged and intercooled 2.3-liter four-cylinder that makes 225 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque. Those figures are achieved with lots of boost-20 psi, to be exact—that surges on and off, lending to the throttle a curiously elastic response. Imprecision is sprinkled throughout the driveline. The shifter balks when rushed, feeling as if it were connected to the transmission via long rubber rods. Driveline lash is noticeable, made worse by a stiff clutch that engages within the last inch or so of travel.
These factors make it harder to extract speed from the Viggen. It was last to 60 mph at 6.5 seconds, despite a power-to-weight ratio that's between the BMW's and Audi's. Its 1:24.1 lap time at Nelson Ledges was the slowest of the four. The Saab also brought up the rear in braking and skidpad grip, although not by much, stopping from 70 mph in 172 feet and generating 0.82g. So on paper, this is the runt of the litter.
But not on the road. The Saab is the lightest car of the group, and it drives like it. This is a nimble car—note its comparo-leading 66.3-mph speed through the emergency lane change. The steering maintains good path accuracy, allowing you to lob the Saab hard into corners. Its revised suspension is stiff-riding, yet the body rolls and bounces too much. It never loses its composure, however, and the brakes are forgiving. You can overcome the driveline's foibles with practice, a challenge that some drivers found stimulating. "One of the more exciting cars in the bunch, but not always for the right reasons," wrote a test driver.
Most found the standard power driver's seat supportive without being confining. The rear seat is comfortable for two adults. This is the only competitor here that has a hatchback, and the seats split-fold forward, making the Saab tops in versatility. Aside from its Lightning Blue paint, the Viggen package includes a drag-reducing rear spoiler and sharp-looking thin-spoked alloy wheels.
This car is a good value, with a base price that includes standard headlamp washers, keyless remote entry with alarm, and a power sunroof. It's quite rare—just 400 will be built this year—but convertible and five-door models are on the way. It's economical, too, turning in an impressive 22 mpg—best in the group by 1 to 3 mpg—with us.
The 9-3 Viggen is truly an acquired taste. Work past its peculiarities, and it can be quite a ride. Having said that, we also don't think you should have to work past anything in a modern performance sedan.

Matt Laminate Cashmere Kitchens
The ultra matt surface of the cashmere laminate kitchen door presents a smooth and soft alluring colour for a sophisticated kitchen finish.
Available within our starting price range the cashmere matt laminate kitchen is affordable, stylish and well-suited for any room size, shape or layout. The cashmere laminate units never fail to look elegant against a white décor, with white worktop and accents, or else a popular option is to contrast the cashmere matt laminate against a finish from our high gloss kitchen range. Another widespread kitchen trend for this finish is to encase or frame the cashmere laminate matt units within a stylish real wood veneer such as the platinum oak gloss wood, or for a more lively contrast, the dark terra oak. Furthermore the handleless kitchen option never fails to introduce an additional touch of class to this style.
The cashmere matt laminate kitchen door has an appealing quality that along with the standard of its finish will not fade over time, making it a sound choice for a modern, desirable and long-lasting kitchen.

|Vega UV flatbed digital press launched by One Solution
I admire any individual and company that launches a new UV-cured inkjet printer into the market, especially during an economic recession. Imagine trying to launch a car into the market in 2009. There are more UV printer manufacturers than there are car manufacturers, and new ones (UV that is) pop up every trade show. At ISA 2009 there were three brands of UV printers which never previously had been exhibited in the Americas.
There are so many UV printers being offered today that even with sending a total of four FLAAR staff to ISA 2009 we could barely have time to take notes on all the UV printers (which is why we do our evaluations at the company's main demo room, not at a hectic trade show). Five from FLAAR were at FESPA 2009.
The Vega UV flatbed digital printer looks sophisticated albeit with a huge footprint (floor area). But the system definitely looks impressive. I like the fact it is a true dedicated flatbed, as hybrids (with pinch rollers operating on grit rollers) are sometimes unreliable for moving thick rigid materials. But until I see a printer in a real printshop how can I know it is out of beta stage? Or even out of alpha stage. Some printers exhibited at DRUPA were non-functional prototypes: VUTEk DS as but one embarrassing example. Where is the VUTEK DS today? It was not at ISA '09 and was conspicuously absent from FESPA '09 also.
Another excellent example of an unfinished UV printer was the Luscher JetPrint. Yet five people in the US each spent $500,000+ to buy this printer. What they got was a semi-finished experiment. After a few months they were told they could buy a $100,000 "option" that would fix the situation.
You know the rest of the story: not even with sinking another $100,000 into the printer did the Luscher JetPrint function adequately. Unfortunately, not even Swiss engineers can defy reality. Clearly the few printshops who bought the Luscher did not read any of the FLAAR Reports, which clearly pointed out the basic flaws and issues with this printer.
Another promising UV prototype was the garage-sized UV printing press from Augend Technologies, their Augend RF20 UV-curable printing press. This appeared at FESPA 2007, but evaporated after that. Even Infiniti Europe and Augend Technologies disappeared from the scene. I hope that One Solution has enough patient investors that they will not follow any of these paths. But now you can see why FLAAR does not issue a recommendation just from a trade show appearance, no matter how impressive a performance the printer did in the booth.
For these reasons, as soon as it is possible to inspect the Vega and learn whether it is in prototype, alpha, or beta stage, I will look forward to this experience. In the meantime, it definitely does look like a team of engineers had an ample budget to experiement with diverse situations. As an example, so far, loading a UV printer effectively has been a mirage with other brands.
One Solution has ample experience in marketing grand format printers
Individuals whose comments I value have indicated that the personnel who now form One Solution have ample experience in marketing grand format printers via the European office of NUR (before it was purchased by HP). But the melt-down with Meital after DRUPA was not an auspicious beginning (for either side). It would be essential to understand what happened.
Vega UV flatbed printing press from One Solution comes in several configurations
Vega 4000, Vega 8000, Vega 16000, Vega 3200 are a series of options. You can upgrade the Vega 4000 to either a Vega 8000 or 16000. You can upgrade a Vega 16000 to a Vega 32000.
Reportedly (by all third-hand sources), "the Vega is made in Italy." Notable is that it uses the same Xaar 1001 printheads as did the Meital when the Meital was being handled by One Solution. It appears that a few aspects of the Meital were taken over by the Vega. But not the moving second table. The Vega has only one table.
"Our own ink," "Our own RIP"
It is common industry practice to claim the ink is from the printer manufacturer. Yet this claim is true only for HP (Tech Ink via former Scitex Vision), Neo Evolution (Sun LLC, Russia), for Milano (Trident) and very few other printers.
For most other printer manufacturers this claim varies from illogical to unlikely. DuPont's claim of making their own UV ink was potentially simply untrue (in other words alledgely a lie). Half the printer manufacturers do not have their own ink chemistry lab even. So a printer distributor does is all the more unlikely to have their own ink factory and rarely even their own ink chemist in-house.
It is more realistic to simply state that it is OEMed ink from a major ink manufacturer, etc etc. This is acceptable. To say the ink is your own invites the question of whose ink is it. When no answer is provided, that invites other questions. In other words, it is more realistic simply to say up front where your UV ink comes from and be over with it.
With RIP software making your own RIP is all the more unlikely: not impossible (Canon, Mimaki, and Mutoh have made their own RIP-like software), but 95% of all wide-format printer manufacturers are totally lacking in software code writers to prepare their own RIP. Probably half do not even write their own firmware.
Caldera, Wasatch, ErgoSoft, Onyx are the top four software RIPs. There are a few others that are potential candidates. I have visited the world headquarters of Caldera (France) and Wasatch (USA) and can vouch for their capabilities. ErgoSoft has years of experience and I know people who say their tech support is excellent (especially for fine art giclee in the US). Onyx is a major brand as well and used around the world, as are two or three other brands (there are actually over 70 brands of RIP software in the FLAAR Reports inventory of RIP options). But of these 70, few have survived to 2009 and even fewer are capable of handling the requirements of a grand format UV-curable printer and ICC color profiling.
It would be so much easier if the actual brand and version of the RIP software were clearly listed in the spec sheet.
Adhesion and abrasion: some materials need primer before printing
I compliment One Solution for being open and honest that some materials require a primer to be sprayed on before you can expect adhesion and/or abrasion resistence. They list three different aerosol printers, for acrylic, polycarbonate, and glass.
For printing on glass you may also need to heat-treat it. WP Digital Virtu RS35 and Durst Rho 800 are examples of printers that have professional workflow for printing on glass.
GCC, such as with the StellarJET 250uv, offers special primer and workflow for printing on ceramic tiles.
One Solution Vega printer will have competition from HP Scitex FB7500
The Inca Onset was the first serious production printer (in the 3-million dollar range). A fast production printer at 10% of that cost is the GRAPO Shark (at $300,000+ obviously not intended to be a three-million dollar printer, but it does quite well for being 90% less expensive!).
Then came the VUTEk DS8300, presented at DRUPA 2008 (but never reappearing again). The VUTEK DS8300 was conspicuously absent at FESPA 2009.
The two printers that should be compared and contrasted with the One Solution Vega are the Durst Rho 1000 at the high-end and the Shark from Grapo at the mid-range. You can probably buy three Sharks for the price of one Vega. So the question is simple: even if you have only two Sharks: which can produce faster and better and more reliably: two Shark printers or one Vega.
Next question is which can produce more output, more reliably: one Durst Rho 1000 or one Vega? If your budget is enough for a Vega you can probably afford a Rho 1000. If you want the production of a Vega but are unsure of a printer brand not seen before, one or two Sharks probably cost less and may produce more.
Or, when we have a chance to test the Vega ourselves and see it inside a printshop in Europe, perhaps we will have a different impression. But you only have to watch the Durst Rho 1000 for 10 minutes and you can see its awesome power. And when you are inside the GRAPO Technologies factory, and see the Shark function, that too leaves a favorable impression.
The reason for these comments are because I expected the Vega to feed and off-load from the giant gizmos that were in front and behing the printer. But nothing in that area moved or did anything whatsoever. What loaded and off-loaded the media seemed to be the gantry itself. This means that the gantry is not printing (or is printing zero square meters per hour) while it is loading or off-loading.
Thus I do not yet understand what are all the mechanical things at the front and at the back? Why don't they load and offload media and let the gantry be printing the entire time?
So hopefully at a factory demo and site-visit case study I can better understand all this. FESPA was so busy with 23 different other UV printers to inspect that it is not realistic to spend all day in one booth.
No information on the origin of the Vega UV flatbed printer is provided, as is usual
Other than that the printheads are Xaar 1001 printheads, there is nothing else known about this printer.
FLAAR Reports are preferably based on a factory visit, testing a printer in the demo room, and when possible, a site-visit case study of the printer in the actual printshop. By asking the printershop owner, by asking the printer operator, and by using the FLAAR inspection format it is possible to gain a perspective of how a printer functions out in the real world. The resulting full-color PDFs can be downloaded for brand after brand after brand. We try to offer as many different reviews of competing brands as possible.
A good example would be inspecting a GRAPO Octopus and a GRAPO Manta inside a screen printing company in northern Germany. I then inspected a Gerber ion X printer in a screen printing and offset printing company in Chicago. And early in 2009 it was possible to visit another screen + offset printing company near Wurzburg that had a GCC StellarJET 183uv.
A crucial stage in evaluation and review of a UV-cured inkjet printer is an inspection of the factory and adjacent demo room in the world headquarters of the manufacturer. FLAAR has also been at Durst five times in 2008 and three times at GRAPO Technologies. So we know these printers are reliable.
All this effort provides a clearly defined system of evaluation that has become the de-facto reference for UV printers over the last nine years (since DRUPA 2000). Every industry has an evaluation resource. The advantage of the FLAAR system is that the cost is much less than having a commercial company do the evaluation. Plus commercial companies, if they do an evaluation for profit, tend to produce a wishy-washy Success Story that defeats the entire purpose of a true review.
An honest review needs to list both pros and cons, and more importantly, needs to be updated when fresh new information becomes available. I have yet to see any Success Story that mentioned the dubious aspects of a wide-format printer. But a printshop owner needs to know the reality, not the PR-release kind of Success Story or pseudo-review or simply a sham evaluation.
The exterior of the Vega looks professional engineered and capably manufactured, so if ever in the future it is available to be inspected, we can consider doing an evaluation. But in the meantime we at least mention the presence of this printer at FESPA. But mention is not a recommendation nor a lack of recommendation: it is merely a listing. Nothing further is practical until I have had time in the demo room to inspect the Vega printer and do test printing.
We have visited the factories of Spuhl (twice), Durst (five times), Gandinnovations (twice), NUR (twice; now HP of course), ColorSpan (many times; now HP), Oce (near Vancouver), Grapo (three times), Keundo, Dilli, IP&I, VUTEk (four times), even the Eurotech UV printer factory 100 km from Istanbul. It is tough to have time to handle every brand, but we do try.
What happened to One Solution and Vega UV-cured printers?
One Solution and Meital have long ago parted ways. That split is another chapter in industry politics. But of the two former partners, now (since SGIA 2012 and ISA 2013) Meital has survived and has returned to exhibiting (at least in USA).
One Solution, in distinction, long ago no longer exhibited at any significant major international printer or signage expo.
What used to be the company web site (auniquepartner) no longer exists. The relationship with Lacor ink is another chapter in this saga.
This might be a series of questions to be wary of acquiring a used UV-cured printer of any brand which has not enough presence to be at major printer or signage expos. There is a lot of PR on the printer, virtually all from the year 2009!

Since I've really made anything! I'm working on some new projects right now. My sister has a CriCut machine and we just scored CLEARANCE $19.99 cartridges!!! So that was really exciting and I decided I would make my own Christmas cards....of course last year I happened to actually buy some after the holidays when they were cheap. Maybe I will cut those up to use with the CriCut!
I've been throwing around the idea of actually stocking up my inventory and doing a craft show. I thought, how hard could it be to stock up 100 items by November?! Probably not hard if I could just settle on an item that I want to make! My head is so ADD with crafting ideas, I haven't come up with 1 or even 2 ideas that are quick to make and aren't super pricey either. I can't profit on these items if it takes me a few days (or weeks) and my supplies are expensive! Michael's Crafts had a big sale plus a 15% everything including sale items, this past Sunday. So I stocked up on paper and I've already used some of them to make an anniversary card for my sister and brother-in-law. I was in a rush and using her CriCut before she got home from work, so I don't have photos to post! But when I go over there next, I will take some pics to share here!

We can help guide you through treatment for colon cancer, which is curable if caught in its early stages.
Related to:Colorectal cancer
Colon cancer, also called colorectal cancer, originates in the colon or rectum. It is also called colorectal cancer. A family history or genetics may predispose you to be at risk for colon cancer, but smoking and obesity, dietary factors, and inflammatory bowel disorders such as Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis can also put you at risk. In some cases, the cancerous section of your colon or rectum can be completely removed through surgery. Your diagnosis and treatment plan at UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center will include your input and we'll work to answer your questions and help you feel confident about your care decisions.
Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in the United States.
As a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated cancer center, we offer care delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Our colorectal cancer team led by gastrointestinal oncologists and includes:
As a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated cancer center, the cancer center offers care delivered by a multidisciplinary team who specializes in all phases of clinical trials.
The cancer center's team partners with the National Cancer Institute and other organizations to offer clinical trial-based treatment options for all patients—from first diagnosis through extensive treatment.
Our clinicians are familiar with available experimental treatments and first-in-human clinical trials, which are available under special programs for patients who qualify.
To request an appointment with our team or to make a referral to one of our physicians, please call the main number: 210-450-1000 or 800-340-2872 or email email@example.com.
Some colorectal cancers may be detected only through screening colonoscopies.
Learn more about your personal risk of developing colon cancer by using our Colorectal Cancer Risk Profiler.
A colon cancer diagnosis is confirmed by colonoscopy, which is the insertion of a special fiber-optic instrument into the colon. A biopsy will also be taken so that the tissue may be examined.
A biopsy under CT-scan or ultrasound guidance may be required to examine some suspicious areas.
Specialized staining techniques are performed by gastrointestinal pathologists to determine the exact nature of the cancer.
Tumor specimens will be studied by special genetic tests to help guide treatment in select patients.
Blood tests, CT scans and other scans will be performed to determine extent of disease. This process, called staging, allows your team to determine the ideal treatment for your cancer.
All UT Health Cancer Center patients are carefully screened and a detailed family history is taken as part of your treatment. High-risk patients have full access to our Cancer Genetics and High-Risk Screening Clinics, which have expert genetic counselors available to patients.
Patients may have the following:
Familial or genetic conditions, such as familial polyposis or Lynch syndrome, represent about 20 percent of colon cancers.

How do I take care of my Fortress of Inca shoes?
Fortress of Inca shoes should never be put through the washer/dryer. To properly clean your boots, you should hand wash them using the following method:
- Use a damp sponge with cold water to lightly moisten the outside of the boots. Do not submerge them in water.
- Dilute a cleaner appropriate for leather to form a solution of one part cleaner and one part water.
- Apply solution to a wet sponge and gently clean boots' outer surface. Rinse with clean sponge dipped in cold water.
- Stuff boots with paper towels or newspaper to allow the boots to maintain their shape during the drying process. Dry out of direct sunlight or direct heat. Direct sunlight or heat will cause excessive shrinkage. Sometimes the boots will shrink slightly after washing. This is normal and you can expect them to stretch back out after wearing them a few times.
- Brush suede boots with a suede brush or lint-free towel to restore the nap.
- Apply water and stain-resistant coating to the boots to minimize stains and dirt.

truly yours, your biggest fan... this is stan (dear diddy).Posted by The Incomparable Bozack Jenkins™
I feel like Will Smith at the end of "I Am Legend".
I'm really on that level that right now.
Diddy, you're my nigga, but you're fucking up major, potna.. your label is a shell of a shell of itself, and it's not like you're oblivious to it, it's like you genuinely don't give a fuck, and as a nigga that's been down for you since day one, word to heartburn that hurts my heart.. back in the day Bad Boy ran this music shit.. I'd be the FIRST nigga at the store to cop (meaning steal, I was a deviant in those days) anything with that logo on it.. Shiny Suit Man changed my life, fuck what The Lox was talkin' about.. you need that return to glory.. Sean, you need that old thing back.. I'm here for you, Sean.. Stop! I can save you!
I'm really feeling like Kim on "I Wanna Work For Diddy" right now.. so here's my audition tape.. How would I go about throwing on the cape & saving your label? Let me clear my throat..
1. You're Fired. Nothing personal, my nig.. the honeymoon was great while it lasted, but you're just here now to bring bad press & fuck up the team, like Stephon Marbury.. and we at Bad Boy Entertainment can't have that.. but seriously, you have way too much goin' on.. the colognes, the TV shows, the clothing line, you got the movies and plays crackin'.. nigga, you've got more jobs than a temp agency.. you don't have THE TIME to run this junt.. take this pink slip and keep it movin'.. you're still affiliated, you just won't be calling the shots anymore.. now, I know that's hard to swallow for an egomaniac of your caliber, but I assure you, it's for the best.. now get the fuck out my office before I call security on you.. I'll apprise you of your new position shortly..
2. Find The Bench Some Minutes. As much as I like the Making The Band cast (that Day26 album went surprisingly hard), do you truly believe, in your heart of hearts, that they're enough to return you to your former glory? You're the biggest act on your own label for a reason.. television show aside, Day26 and Donnie Timberlake barely got any promotion, & I don't even think Danity Kane (I wanna fondle Andrea..... twice) got a second single, after bangin' niggas over the head with "Damaged".. how in the red, white, & blue fuck does that even happen? How do you drop the ball in the endzone? You just made a 75 yard INT return! Nigga, I work with kids.. that song was EVERYWHERE! I couldn't take a piss without the dude handin' out paper towels in the bathroom even whistling that shit.. last time I checked, that's a sure sign of a pretty big hit..
3. Pass the collection plate. Bad Boy had its greatest successes when you spread the love.. what I mean is, let's take Minister Ma$e for example.. nobody even knew who he was until he wrecked shit on 112's now classic "Only You".. this said buzz was then expanded by putting him on a couple of other popular acts' songs.. so by the time his album dropped, he moved like 4 or 5 million easy.. Bad Boy was GREAT at doing this.. Niggas LOVED Big, so what did you do? Put him on Total's debut single.. Carl Thomas did how many high profile guest spots on Bad Boy releases before he got his day in the sun? Same with Black Rob.. why in the fuck did you switch the playbook up and abandon this? Did you not see how many units you were moving? In this day and age, labels drop brand new faces on us damn near daily, and we're supposed to embrace them? It's like a complete stranger knocking on your door, doing the potty dance, & asking to use your bathroom.. nigga, I don't know you! Get the fuck on! Same shit.. stop being stupid, Sean!
4. Leave Big Be. Self explanatory.. Big was that nigga, and I miss him terribly, but no more remix albums, selling unreleased verses, or copy and pasting verses we've already heard on popular radio singles just to slap "Featuring The Notorious B.I.G." on the booklet.. that's tasteless, disgraceful, & plain fucking wack.. let that nigga rest in peace and keep it moving, you fucking dick.. if Big heard most of this bullshit you've put out since his death, I'd bet good money he'd sit on you.
And fart.
5. Bring Back Shiny Suit Man. Here's where your affiliation comes back into play.. yes, you're no longer running the label, but you're still the face of it.. Bad Boy videos were GREAT back in the day, not just becuz of the ridiculous budgets Hype Williams used to pimp you for, but because of YOU, Sean.. yes, YOU were the star of the show.. the face all up in the camera, the non-sensical dancin', the adlibs.. you were that nigga twice (so much so that Dame Dash failed miserably at jackin' your entire steez).. we don't need you in the office, we need you on the video set.. the triumphant return of Shiny Suit Man? I'll take two, please..
Subtract yourself from this video, and tell me it's anywhere near as entertaining.. of that's right, you can't.. you have a calling Sean, and it's clearly in front of the camera..

First look at Nicolas Cage in David Gordon Green's Joe and Matt Damon and Michael Douglas in Behind the Candelabra
We've got two first official looks today, one from director David Gordon Green's JOE, starring Nicolas Cage and the other from HBO's BEHIND THE CANDELABRA, starring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas. First up is Cage's JOE, where he plays an ex-con who finds a role model in the form of a fifteen-year-old boy. Green, who has previously directed ALL THE REAL GIRLS, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, and the brilliant HBO series Eastbound and Down is at the helm, tapping into his more dramatic side, which will hopefully be a step in the right direction after the box office disappointments of YOUR HIGHNESS and THE SITTER. His most recent film, PRINCE AVALANCHE, starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch debuted at Sundance with solid reviews, so the director may be on the upswing.
Here's the synopsis:
In the dirty unruly world of small-town Texas, ex-convict Joe Ransom (Cage) has tried to put his dark past behind him and to live a simple life. He works for a lumber company by day, drinks by night. But when 15-year-old Gary (Sheridan) - a kid trying to support his family - comes to town, desperate for work, Joe has found a way to atone for his sins - to finally be someone's hero. As Joe tries to protect Gary, the pair will take the twisting road to redemption in the hope for a better life in this tough, hard-hitting but incredibly moving story.
Next up is Steven Soderbergh's adaptation of the autobiographical novel BEHIND THE CANDELABRA, which chronicles the six-year relationship between famed musician Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his lover, Scott Thorson (Matt Damon). Soderbergh took the film all over Hollywood to get made, but it as deemed "too gay" by everyone, except HBO.
"Nobody would make it, We went to everybody in town. They all said it was too gay. And this is after 'Brokeback Mountain,' by the way, which is not as funny as this movie. I was stunned. It made no sense to any of us."
We've seen some snippets of footage and a few set pics so far, but this is the first official image of the duo (ambiguously gay?) looking every bit their real-life counterparts. I'm looking forward to seeing this, especially when it's a project that fought through the studio system to see the light of day.
JOE will debut sometime in 2013, while BEHIND THE CANDELABRA is set for sometime in May, 2013.
|Extra Tidbit:
|Cage seems like a perfect fit for David Gordon Green. I think he'd do well to work with directors who can tap into his crazy and harness it, rather than just film it going wild.
|Worldview Entertainment, HBO

Image via WikipediaIt is a hot summer day, and you and a friend or significant other decide to escape into the cool confines of your local movie theater. Your companion has convinced you to see Angels and Demons, and while you are not particularly excited about it, you find yourself inside the theater and out the outrageous price they are charging for movies these days. As the movie begins, the theater erupts in craziness as a pair of Christians stand up in front of the screen and begin yelling some sort of religiously-inspired gibberish. What do you do?
No, this didn't happen to me. As bad as the Da Vinci Code was, nobody is talking me into seeing this one. But it just might happen to you. You see, a Christian group calling themselves "The Resistance" is planning to disrupt screenings of Angels and Demons. Evidently, something about the film offends them to the point where they've decided that ruining it for others is the way to go.
Honestly, I have a difficult time imagining how I'd respond in such a situation. Let me rephrase, I have a difficult time imagining how I'd respond in such a way that didn't end with me being led away in handcuffs.

Botany Bay Park
Botany Bay Park: (34° 0′ 15″S, 151° 13′ 20″E) northern section of the park is at the end of Anzac Parade in La Perouse (about 13 km from Circular Quay on the Great North Walk); the southern section is a little further, on Captain Cook Drive in Kurnell, via Rocky Point Road, off the Princes Highway, Sydney.
The Great North Walk Companion extract- page 10
The credit for the discovery of Port Jackson is given to Arthur Phillip who, on 21 January 1788, led a team of three boats from Botany Bay to explore what Cook had noted as merely an inlet or small bay and named to honour Sir George Jackson, then one of the Lord Commissioners of the British Admiralty. That Cook passed this wonderful harbour without recognizing its capacity is not too surprising if you envisage how it appears from the outside, the Pacific. The cliffs that guard the entrance are 100 metres high so that no view of the basin could be seen from the masthead of the 'Endeavour'. Middle Head, which is opposite the entrance, acts to close it in so that Governor Phillip's three boats had to enter the inlet and turn to the south, and then to the west before the heart of this beautiful harbour is revealed. Phillip was so delighted by what he saw that he moved his invasion (for this is what the First Fleet was) of eleven ships to 'Sydney' on 26th January 1788. The ships had on board 717 convicts, together with 290 marines, women and children and their livestock, plus tools and equipment, pork and rum.
Sydney Harbour is thought, especially by those of us lucky enough to live near, to be one of the most splendid harbours in the world. As well as being naturally spectacular, and further ornamented by the Opera House and Harbour Bridge on which fireworks blossom every New Year's Eve, it is also one of the world's largest harbours: including all its bays, it is well over 55 sq km in area and has a shoreline of over 300 km. More important to the newly arrived Governor Phillip, it offers deep water in every bay and is landlocked and so protected from the harshest of weather and the most aggressive enemies.

Mumbai: Gajendra Chauhan, whose appointment as Film and Television Institure of India (FTII) chairman has faced protests from its students, should "voluntarily retire", says veteran actor Rishi Kapoor.
Chauhan, who played 'Yudhishthir' in "Mahabharat", was appointed as the FTII chief last month. This was followed by protests from students, who believe he lacks the stature and vision to head the institution.
After several film celebrities supported the voice of the students, the 62-year-old actor took to micro-blogging website Twitter to express his opinion.
"Advice. After all the protests and controversy, Gajendra Chauhan, the FTII Chairman should voluntarily retire. Will do good to the students.
"If they don't want you, they don't want you. By pushing for the chairmanship is getting you no where.Let self pride play a role and retire," Rishi, who belongs to Indian cinema's globally popular Kapoor clan, tweeted.
Earlier, his son, actor Ranbir Kapoor too expressed support for the students, stressing on how it is only legitimate for them to demand a chairperson, who is an "aspirational figure" that they can look up to.

Well, this is actually about the Philadelphia Marathon which is still fresh in my mind even though two and half weeks have passed. Apparently, though, this is not unusual because it seems like the Philadelphia Marathon folks are still sifting through the debris of that glorious day that was November 18, 2007.
This morning at 3:41 a.m. I received this little gem:
Dear EMILIE,
Congratulations on finishing the 2007 Philadelphia Marathon, Half Marathon or Rothman Institute 8K. Attached please find your certificate link. Your certificate is also available on our website.
Please plan on joining us for the 2008 races on Sunday, November 23. Registration opens April 1.
Thanks again for participating.
And even though this does not reflect my time as corrected for pee-pee break at mile 10ish (which apparently took eight minutes--who knew?!), I still think it is pretty amazing. At the same time, I don't see myself replacing my current desktop picture for this certificate. My more-amazing-than-finishing-a-marathon niece wins that particular competition, and I don't think anyone can argue with that.

then apply mascara. tada
Not much else to report today other than a few make up deals i scored. Walgreens has sinful nail polish on sale for .99 cents limit 3 and wet n wild on sale for .69 cents. They also have some revlon, loreal, and cover girl buy 1 get 1 50%off so now is a good time to stock up on foundation or the perfect time to try some new one. I normally get makeup forever foundation but when i dont have the 40 bucks to spend i get revlons photo ready foundation. I really like it and im on my 2nd bottle from them so that says alot. Since the sale is going on right now i am going to try the color stay since the only bad thing about the photo ready is it has tiny shimmers in it and if you have oily skin like me its not so good if you are gonna have it on for a long time. So i heard great things about color stay and they have a oily/combo skin formula. It claims it will look fresh for 16 hours. We shall see :)

First-year Eva Laun-Smith continues to make her mark in the program record book with her fourth Midwest Conference individual title, first outdoor title and two more school records in the first day of the MWC Track and Field Championships hosted by Monmouth College Friday. The Buccaneer women's team is fourth while the men are fifth after the first day of competition.
Laun-Smith's school record leap of 5.47 meter (17-11.5) bested the competition by nine inches and marks her fourth MWC individual event title adding to her three from the indoor championships just a few months ago. The Bucs went 1-3-4 in the event with Aleeshah Heinzen and Lena Ramsey recording the same distance (5.22 meters, 17-1.5) but Heinzen taking third on jumps.
Laun-Smith also added points to the team total in the javelin with a heave of 28.95 meters (94-11.75), good for eighth place.
On the men's side, multiple Buccaneers finished in the top eight of finals events. Matthew Miller registered a height of 4.01 meters (13-2) to take fourth in the pole vault. Jason Dormon posted a height of 1.88 meters (6-2) to finish fifth in the high jump. Two Bucs added points to the team total in the hammer throw led by Dakotah Revai's sixth-place toss of 45.81 meters (150-3.5). Ethan Harycki followed in seventh with a distance of 41.89 meters (137-5.25).
In the track events, Jack Klobucar and Charles Sandberg finished in fifth and sixth with times of 4:05.84 and 4:07.40 in the 1,500-meter run. In the 10,000-meter run, Dan Arkes crossed the line fifth stopping the lock in 33:55.43.
A number of Bucs qualified for the finals that will take place Saturday along with the remainder of the field events. Leading the way is Laun-Smith in the 100-meter hurdles. Her time of 14.76 in the preliminaries sets a new program record in the event. Also running in the finals tomorrow are Aminah Crawford and Ramsey in the 100-meter dash, Crawford in the 200 and Toni Bonds in the 400.
On the men's side, Jose Gutierrez and Matthew Miller each qualified for the finals in two events, the 110-meter hurdles and 400-meter hurdles. Dormon will run in the 100-meter dash finals while Fernando Castillo and Mauricio Penn qualified in the 200 and 400 respectively.
In addition to the track event finals, tomorrow's action will feature the women's hammer throw, men's shot put, women's high jump, men's and women's triple jump, men's javelin, women's discus, men's and women's 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"I have a round red circle on my forearm clear in the center of the circle"
nurse in my community seems to think its could be lyme disease she put meat tenderizer paste on it and the redness faded
I am sorry to hear that you are undergoing the anxiety of worrying whether or not you have another medical problem that is waiting to begin. Obviously, it is difficult to diagnose a condition for which you have no symptoms other than a mark on your arm that has now faded. While the mark you describe could be similar to the bite mark from the kind of tick that can spread lyme disease, it is not easy to say that you have lyme disease simply from that remark. Instead, that could be valuable information should you begin to have other symptoms in the future, such as signs of infection, weakness, or joint pain. If these or other symptoms begin, speaking with your doctor about this red circle with the clearing in the middle could help him or her to order additional tests or consider additional medical therapies at that time. There have been some reports that this year does have a higher incidence of tick infestations due to the weather in some parts of the country. Again, please speak with your doctor about your concerns and what to do next to help put your mind at ease and maintain your health.

Spike Lee to Deliver Ubben Lecture April 3
January 31, 2003
January 31, 2003, Greencastle, Ind. - "Spike Lee is not only one of the best filmmakers in America, but one of the most crucially important," says noted film critic Roger Ebert. On Thursday, April 3, Spike Lee will come to the campus of DePauw University to deliver a Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture, "America Through My Lens." The speech, which like all Ubben Lectures is free and open to the public (see list of past speakers here), begins at 7:30 p.m. in Neal Fieldhouse of DePauw's Lilly Center, 702 S. College Avenue.
Producer, director, writer and actor Spike Lee has established himself as one of Hollywood's most important and influential filmmakers in the past decade. His work is technically original, politically-inspired, and often controversial. Lee's films include Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, Clockers, He Got Game and 25th Hour, which was released last month.
Born in Atlanta and raised in Brooklyn, Lee attended Morehouse College in Atlanta. After graduation, he continued his education at New York University. His NYU student film was showcased at Lincoln Center and won the Student Award of the Academy of Motion Pictures. Lee received his Master of Fine Arts degree in film production and then founded 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks (a production office), 40 Acres and A Mule Musicworks (a record company), and Spike's Joint (a retail company), all based in Brooklyn, where he resides.
Lee's first commercial film, 1986's independently produced She's Gotta Have It did surprising box-office business and earned him the Prix de Jeunesse Award at the Cannes Film Festival. School Daze, his second feature, was not only highly profitable, but it also helped launch the careers of several young black actors. But it was with Lee's third effort that he joined the ranks of top moviemakers. Do the Right Thing, which explored urban racial tensions, won him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film and Director awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Lee was nominated for a Best Director Oscar for 1992's Malcolm X. In 1998, his film 4 Little Girls, about the racially motivated bombing of a Birmingham, Alabama church in 1963, was nominated for a Best Documentary Feature Oscar.
Lee has also taught at NYU and Harvard University, and has authored several books on the making of his films. The most recent, Best Seat In The House, was published by Crown. Lee has produced and directed music videos for such world-renowned artists as Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Tracy Chapman, Branford Marsalis, Anita Baker, Arrested Development and Public Enemy, and directed numerous television commercials, including a series of renowned Nike Air Jordan ads. He has produced several short films for HBO, winning an Emmy Award for his piece on baseball's Albert Belle.
Critic Roger Ebert writes that Lee is an important and influential filmmaker "because his films address the central subject of race. He doesn't use sentimentality or political cliches, but shows how his characters live, and why... Every Lee film is an exercise in empathy. He is not interested in congratulating the black people in his audience, or condemning the white ones. He puts human beings on the screen, and asks his audience to walk a little while in their shoes."
"25th Hour struck me as one of the best movies of 2002," wrote the Chicago Tribune's Michael Wilmington, opining, "it's a superb film, one of Lee's best. [It] shows Lee as a universal filmmaker with clear eyes and an open heart." Calling it "one of Lee's best films, on a level with his most disciplined efforts," Marshall Fine of Gannett News Service writes, "This film is thoughtful and exciting. It shifts tones casually and deceptively, building to a powerful finale. Spike Lee, a true original, gets a new slant on the American soul with this film."
One of Hollywood's most important and influential filmmakers, Spike Lee's work is technically original, politically inspired, and often controversial. Off screen, Lee is also no stranger to controversy. At events in Florida honoring the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lee took issue with the film Barbershop, in which an African American character belittes Rosa Parks' refusal to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955 and accuses Dr. King of living a promiscuous lifestyle. "To me, some things aren't funny," Lee said. "If our young children grow up thinking this, and that's all they know about [Parks and King], then we're in trouble." A frequent critic of media messages, Lee told an audience at Yale University in March 2001, "I don't know what you can tell [young children] to watch to see African American scientists at work. The majority of African American males think they have to be a rapper, play ball or sell drugs. They have very limited options."
The Ubben Lecture Series has brought distinguished individuals to the DePauw University campus since 1986, including former British Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher and John Major, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, General Colin Powell, Ross Perot and, earlier this school year, Mike Krzyzewski, Harry Belafonte and ice cream entrepreneurs Ben & Jerry.

One of my new year's resolution is to get fit and when I saw an advert for a local fitness centre doing free taster sessions I thought it was worth a go to see what they had on offer. I talked one of my walking buddies into going and we planned to do kettlercise and pilates today. We hadn't realised that they would be full length classes and an hour of kettlercise turned out to be harder work than we had anticipated, especially after the festive break with no exercise and plenty of eating in excess!!
Everyone was dressed in black fitness clothing and were slim. I had gone for comfort and had a loose fitting green t-shirt on. What I hadn't bargained for was floor to ceiling mirrors along one wall. I took my place at the back of the room - it looked as if there was a green mountain on the horizon!! You do all the exercises for a minute which helps, as you feel as if the end is in sight and it's not too repetitive. We used a 2 kg weight but after holding it for half an hour my arms were aching and I was worried that I may lose my grip and launch the weight in the air or drop it on my head, as many of the exercises are done by lifting the weight above your head.
We survived the hour and although my abdominal muscles were screaming in pain as they have not been worked that hard in a while, it felt good that I had completed the session and I have already bought a kettlercise weight to use at home to do shorter bursts of exercise. I'm not sure I can manage an hour long session again!! Although our youngest son has found a use for it and has spent the afternoon carrying it around with him. It's great for his proprioception difficulties and he's incorporating it into the obstacle course he builds daily in our house.
My friend and I have now decided to start Boot Camp next weekend - we must be mad!!

text: The Harley Dyna Fat Bob is a Dark Custom with a big motorcycle feel. New for 2012, the Harley Fat Bob features a powerful, new, larger air-cooled Twin Cam 103 Harley engine with 6-speed cruise drive transmission, providing more performance power for passing, hill-climbing, and riding with passenger and cargo. For the custom style you want, the Fat Bob motorcycle's beefy handlebar is truly reminiscent of an aggressive quarter mile monster. And with the wires routed through the steel, you get a clean, minimal look with nothing standing in your way of the open road. Add to that the wide stance and 16 inch front wheel, and you have a cool fat custom look with a powerful big twin engine.

Hello AI Fans!!
Who loves Halloween??!! Dunking for apples, dressing up for fun, parties and scary movies. I love it all! Today I've made a card that can be set out as a decoration as well. This cute little couple is out Trick or Treating in their adorable outfits, and are about to go knock on the door of a very sinister looking house that is probably full of scary ghosts! :) This was made out of a very simple step card.
I just added some cuts from my Silhouette and voila! A self made Halloween decoration! Here's a close up of this cute couple!
And here's a pic with a little bit of an angle so you can see how it's made.
For the moon, I simply used my 1-3/4" circle punch, colored it with Copics, and then glued it to the back of a couple of the tree branches. Then adhered the bat to the front of it with some mounting tape.
Copics used: E000, E00, E11, E04, E07, E13, E15, E50, E51, R20, R21, BV00, BV02, BV04, YG11, YG13, YG17, YG21, YG23, YR12, YR14, Y32, T1, T2
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have time to get crafty this weekend!

Blues Is
Who Knows What Blues Is
The Death Penalty Stands on Shaky Ground
Marylands death penalty is in the news these days because Gov. Parris Glendening suspended it for the remaining months of his term pending a study on racial and geographic bias in how its carried out.
Such action takes courage. Most Americans support the death penalty 65 percent according to a recent ABC News poll. One of that number is our esteemed columnist Bill Burton, as he notes elsewhere in this issue.
Yet politicians are increasingly showing the will to go against popular opinion on the death penalty.
A year ago, Marylands House passed a moratorium bill that died in the Senate. About 70 cities have passed non-binding resolutions calling for death penalty moratoriums. Two other states New Hampshire and Nebraska recently passed such bills, both later vetoed by their governors.
It may take a lame-duck politician to succeed in reviewing the death penalty at the state level as Glendening has done, making Maryland the second state to impose such a moratorium.
The first state was Illinois, where another lame-duck governor, George Ryan, determined that people were being wrongly sentenced to death. (We know more than a little about Illinois and its death penalty. We were Illinoisans before coming to Chesapeake Country nearly two decades ago. In fact, we have walked through the bowels of Death Row in Illinois, once at the behest of an editor demanding that we interview a mass murderer labeled the most vicious criminal in Illinois history. That editor didnt think wed get the interview, but that is a story for another day.)
Which explains why people whose first job is to get elected would take such political risks: Theyve reached reasonable doubt that the ultimate penalty may be administered neither justly nor accurately.
Unlike Parris Glendening, George Ryan is no liberal. That law-and-order Republican put the death penalty on hold in Illinois only after journalists and crusaders proved that his state was on the verge of putting innocent people to death. Indeed, 13 people sentenced to die in Illinois later were exonerated of their crimes.
Theres a key difference between the actions in Maryland and Illinois. In Illinois, new evidence some gathered through technology not available at the time of conviction proved that juries and judges had indeed been mistaken.
In Maryland, Glendening acted because of potential injustices that relate primarily to race. (Still, as The Washington Post documented in investigations in Prince Georges County, innocence does not assure not-guilty verdicts in Maryland any more than it did in Illinois.)
In our minds, that is a sobering proposition that must be considered on many levels before a civilized society proceeds with the ultimate punishment.
Maryland and Illinois are doing the right thing in ending executions until theyre sure were not committing murder.
