WHAT: Ahl Orthodontics
WHERE: 1004 South State St., Dover
HOURS: Opens June 3. Office hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday
INFO: Call 678-3000 or visit www.ahlorthodontics.com.
Jamie D. Ahl became interested in dentistry early on in life. The first time she ever visited the dentist she decided that she wanted to make it her career. When she had braces put on her teeth in the eighth grade, she took it a step further and decided to specialize.
She went pre-med in college and worked part time for an orthodontist, cementing the career choice in her mind. After she graduated she went right on to dental school and has worked in orthodontics since graduating.
"I love working with teenagers," Ahl said. "I get to watch people's confidence grow as their smile improves."
After eight years as an associate in a different orthodontist's practice, Ahl was ready to break out on her own and start her practice. She and her husband, Douglas Ditty, decided to build an office space that can house both of their practices in one location. Ditty operates First State Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with his business partner, Franklin Pancko, which will be located on one end of the building, and her orthodontics practice, Ahl Orthodontics, on the other with rental space available in the middle.
"It will be fantastic to be able to merge and have one practice," Ahl said.
Construction began on their new offices, located at 1004 South State St., Dover, in August and the building is slated to be ready by mid-May.
While at a conference at the Baltimore Hilton, Ahl had seen a mosaic mural that she couldn't get out of her mind. She decided to include something similar in her reception area. She tracked down the artist and put her to work.
Mari Gardner, who has been working as a professional artist since 2002, packed up with her husband and 2-year-old son and moved to Dover for the month-long process of creating the 7-foot –by-8-foot mural, which is a small space compared to what Gardner typically works in.
"It was fun to work on that scale," Gardner said. "Generally I work much larger. A lot of my pieces take up an entire wall. This project took a month to complete but sometimes they can take a year, sometimes more."
Ahl picked out an intertwined the letters A and O as the motif for the mural to represent the name of her business. The colors for the mural were a collaborative effort between Ahl and Gardner.
"She said she liked the stones in the piece I did in Baltimore," Gardner said. "She also sent me color swatches for the reception area and we put a color scheme together."
Gardner's work ended on April 19 and she has since moved on to her next project. Construction is still moving forward at Ahl's practice. The plan is to have the practice open on June 3, Ahl said.
"I've been really looking forward to being in Dover," she said. "I'm excited to get to know the patients and dentists in the area."
Ahl Orthotics will offer services like Invisalign, braces and bite correction, as well as free consultations. Flexible payment plans will be available and Medicaid will be accepted. The office will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Regarding Nancy Cope's Jan. 8 letter, "Words' meaning stolen," which speaks of marriage, and the Jan. 21 response by Dr. Amesh A. Adalja, "View has no place," I would like to express my opinion.
It is clear that Cope knows the Decree on the Sacraments, Session VII, March 3, 1547, at the Council of Trent, for that is where the Church declared that if one did not see marriage as a sacrament of the Church, then that person is "anathema."
Many Christians believe as the Church teaches, that the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has raised this contract between man and woman to a higher realm — that of a "sacrament."
Some people might be surprised to learn that many churchmen have voiced the opinion that marriage is so complex that it should be left to the civil sphere of life, to the government. But those who follow the Church believe that the sacraments bestow God's grace on those who receive them.
The belief is that the sacraments are the way that God's action in the life of the couple enables the couple to see themselves as living "in Christ" and, in turn, Christ living and acting in their relationship, attitudes and actions.
People marry for many different reasons: social, emotional, financial, spiritual, religious, legal, etc. Marriage could be recognized by a state, organization, religious denomination, peers or local community. It is viewed as a contract irrespective of religious affiliation.
I think Cope's point was that we should not call this union a "marriage." She pointed out, correctly, that most see marriage in a more spiritual way and a way that reflects Church teaching. (See Trent.)
I think that to simply define the union of same-sex couples as marriage contradicts almost a thousand years of an understanding of that term. Call it a contract, a union, a coupling, but surely when most of the world holds a different definition for marriage and sees it as a "sacrament." this calls for something to be done.
The difficult task in front of us is to restate the theology of marriage in a way that is true to Christian tradition and yet takes account of the signs of the time and calls the union what it is.
It was a difficult and complex task that finally brought marriage and its definition as between a man and a woman into the sacramentality of the Church and for its community of believers.
So, upholding this as dogma needs to be respected and not something to be denied or scoffed at by those who wish to change the meaning of "marriage."

Flat screen TV, laptop taken
Kern County Sheriff's deputies made an arrest in a Ford City burglary last week.
Deputies had been investigating the theft of several items, including a flat screen television, laptop computer and hand tools, from a residence in the 100 block of Taylor on March 12
Sgt. Martin Downs said deputies got help from a witness who saw the suspect hiding the items taken in the burglary and a partial suspect description.
That led them to a suspect, identified as Bryan Landreth, 22, Downs said.
Deputies conducted a probation search at Landreth's home on Victor Street.
Landreth was not there, Downs said, but deputies found some illegal drugs and obtained a warrant for Landreth's arrest.
On April 5 at 11:25 a.m. they located him in the 400 block of Finley Drive.
They found evidence on Landreth linking him to the Taylor Street burglary when he was arrested, Downs said.

The Butler Eagle's April 14 "Jeer" about last week's county commissioners meeting was inaccurate and misleading to many readers.
Although it pointed out that Commissioner Jim Eckstein's behavior has been "inappropriate" on many occasions and that he needs to exhibit "professionalism" and be "brief and to the point," the Jeer was remiss on why the meetings have become a laughingstock throughout the commonwealth among government officials.
Yes, Eckstein has a right to speak as a county commissioner and he should be heard within the standards of Robert's Rules of Order.
Although he loudly screamed "I have the floor; I have the floor" as the meeting was adjourned, the fact is that he did not have the floor. To the contrary, Eckstein immediately started attacking a public speaker who had just finished.
Eckstein did not ask to be recognized to speak and opted to interrupt the meeting, and began a rambling diatribe — out of order — about his deceased mother.
Commissioner Dale Pinkerton was correct in making a motion to adjourn, and Commissioner William McCarrier also followed the Robert's Rules of Order, adopted in 2012 by the board of commissioners.
I must note that Eckstein has been allowed to speak everytime he has asked to be recognized during his tenure as commissioner.
Recently, a county resident spoke for only three minutes, as allowed. He was critical of several county issues.
At the following meeting, Eckstein rambled on for more than 15 minutes with disparaging diatribes about that speaker in a lengthy public attack.
More professional behavior needed? Yes, definitely.
It appears Eckstein uses the public meetings for free media time and clearly shows a disrespectful attitude and behavior toward public speakers, county employees, the other commissioners and other elected officials. His endless whining, complaining, fabrications and distortions are used to dupe the public.
It also is his tool to discourage any comments from the public.
The costs to Butler County taxpayers regarding his behavior issues have resulted in increased security in the commissioners office, mandated behavioral training, ongoing harassment complaints from female employees, and costly legal issues.
Many residents are giving McCarrier a loud "Cheer" for his handling of the many meeting debacles attributed to Eckstein's rampant disregard for order and professionalism.

It's no secret that we need some help rushing the passer, nickel corner, WR, and LB (who can preferably help rush the passer)....Initially who are some guys you are hoping for around our 1st pick spot?
The guy I really want is Alec Ogletree. I see him solidifying our run game while being able to get to the passer from the SLB position. Here's my current top 5:
1)Alec Ogletree LB Georgia
2) Kawann Short DT Pur (7.0 sacks as a DT)
3) Justin Hunter/Cordarrelle Patterson WR Tenn (both special)
4) Sheldon Richardson DT Miz
5) M. Elam (move Chancellor to LB) S Florida
Man Star Lotulelei is ridiculous- I know he's not going to make it out of the top 10 but man, the kid is dominant & exactly what we need.

Tuesday's Yellow Medicine County Board Meeting began with the swearing-in of new District 2 Commissioner John Berends and ended with the board's acceptance of a resignation letter from County Administrator Ryan Krosch.
Tuesday's Yellow Medicine County Board Meeting began with the swearing-in of new District 2 Commissioner John Berends and ended with the board's acceptance of a resignation letter from County Administrator Ryan Krosch.
Typically new commissioners are not installed until after the first of the year but because the District 2 (Granite Falls) seat involved a special election to replace Commissioner Dick Wambeke, who passed away last year, Berends was sworn in at the first opportunity.
"It feels pretty good. I sat on the other side of that table for a number of months so I've been ready to go to work for quite some time. I'm relieved that the day is finally here," he said
An official resignation letter from Krosch was hardly a surprise after it was reported on November 13 that YMC's Administrator of six years had accepted an offer to become administrator for Nicollet County, where he is said to have family.
In his letter Krosch thanked the board on behalf of himself and other department heads for having been given the flexibility to implement "many progressive and innovative changes the past six years."
"My personal goals when I started for YMC were to make the County more efficient, better organized, fiscally healthy and to maximize the return on the taxpayer's investment," Krosch said in his letter. "As I prepare to move on from my work here ... I can honestly say that these personal goals have been achieved. The County is in better financial shape than it has ever been, our tax levy increases the past six years have been modest despite experiencing one of the worst recessions ever and the County's services have become more efficient and innovative."
As a final recommendation to the board, Krosch encouraged commissioners to continue to move in a progressive direction and to once again hire a County Administrator (as opposed to coordinator) to ensure that such positive steps continue.
Said Krosch,"YMC has become known around the state as a progressive rural county that is able to "think outside the box" when it makes sense to do so. [It] is also considered a great place to work in the area and morale among staff is generally very good."
The letter was accepted unanimously by the board without discussion or comment, save a word of "congratulations," from commissioner Ron Antony.
According to the St. Peter Herald, Krosch will receive a starting salary of $111,586. He was hired as Yellow Medicine County's first administrator in 2007 with a salary of $74,099. At the time of his departure, he will have been earning $97,509.82.

We've been picking up what you throw away
Since March 2010, I've become intimately acquainted with many of the things that people in our society no longer want to live with: empty liquor bottles, deflated soccer balls, the guts of deer, aluminum siding.
My team and I have picked up this stuff on roadsides from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast. It's taken us the better half of three years to get this far. We collect garbage as we go, six out of seven days a week, for eight months of the year. We do this to make a statement about America.
That statement is about the sheer immensity of waste. We've hauled away some 188,593 pounds of garbage: ripped plastic, failed kitchen devices, jagged tires, flying Styrofoam, sex toys, beer cans and bottles and outrageously excessive packaging. Although I do not believe that litter is the biggest environmental catastrophe of our time, I do think it is a powerful indicator that our economy is out of whack -- built on the rapid consumption of mostly virgin resources in the form of throwaway packaged goods. We're highly skilled at buying things we don't necessarily need, but we're not very good at disposing of them properly.
Picking up litter from a roadside involves repetitive motion. We all wear neon reflective vests and carry 3-foot-long trash grabbers. With each squeeze of the handle, the rubber suction cups at the other end grasp a piece of rubbish that gets stuffed into the giant bag that we hold fast with our other hand.
Each piece of trash can tell a story, and the story begins inside the Earth, because all materials begin there, and it usually ends in a comingled, massive burial. But aside from the occasional surprising envelope full of cash or the duct-taped live chicken in a box, there is no juicy story behind most of the trash.
Who really cares about the cigarette butt, bubble-wrap or roof shingle? Sent to a 30-acre landfill, most trash just sits there, surrounded by a plastic liner. The waste this signifies is something most of us don't know about, or don't want to know about.
The truth is: We're addicted to consumption, and I've seen a cross-country trail of trash to prove it. Each day that my team walks the roads of this country, I find myself obsessing over our addiction to "stuff."
Each time I pick up an aluminum beer can, I picture a person hurling that can out of a car window; if it's a can of soda pop, I can't help thinking about our dependency on corn. I envision the damming of the Amazon River and the upheaval of its people to bring in bauxite-ore production. With each passing car, I smell oil addiction. And in each economically depressed town I pass, I sense corporate greed that promotes mono-economies like monoculture crops.
Here in the arid West, UV-degraded plastic is so brittle it shatters when touched, releasing a few more of those plastic polymers and persistent organic pollutants that bio-accumulate in our ecosystems.
I admit it: I'm not exempt from my own addiction to what's available in our still-rich culture –– but that's also how I understand the need for this ongoing campaign for reform. Economists call the impacts of drilling, manufacturing, selling and disposing of used up or unwanted products "externalities," but a better term for that is "eternalities," because this stuff is eternal. Nothing ever goes completely "away." Externalities is a term that cloaks impacts on our finite resources and impacts on the health of people and the land.
It takes a lot of mining and industrial might to create what quickly become useless products. These companies -- aided by tax breaks and cheap overseas manufacturing -- don't take any binding responsibility for the waste they create. Instead, the burden descends on us, individual citizens and our cash-strapped municipalities, to haul away the waste that's created, sometimes reducing some of that waste through community-supported recycling.
It's time to pass a law requiring Extended Producer Responsibility so that companies remain responsible for their products. We have nothing to lose but our growing mountains of trash.

A Jewish man dating the daughter of a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was murdered, an Israeli television station reported.
Daniel Mahgerefteh, 24, the son of a well-known Iranian businessman and a member of one of the wealthiest Jewish families in Iran, was killed last week in Tehran, Israel's Channel 2 reported on Jan. 3.
The Jewish community reportedly believes he was murdered because of his relationship with the Iranian woman, but Iranian authorities say he was killed during a robbery.
According to Armin Avi Kreuznacher, an Iranian-born Jew who emigrated from the country in 2010, Mahgerefteh was killed by the woman's family after the two had intimate relations and he refused to marry her.
"The murder was carried out as revenge for dishonoring the family," said Kreuznacher, who currently resides in Germany .
Police investigators reportedly told the woman that she had "done a good deed."
The Jewish community in Iran, estimated at around 8,700 people, is afraid following Mahgerefteh's murder, the second of its kind in as many months, he said.
At the end of November, a Jewish woman in the central Iranian city of Isfahan was murdered and mutilated in what is believed to be a religiously motivated attack.

What: Conference of World Affairs panel on "Climate Change: Get Used to It"
When: 3:30 to 4:50 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Chemistry 140, University of Colorado campus
More info: colorado.edu/cwa
Some scientists concerned about climate change say the factors contributing to it are already "baked in," meaning that even if mankind changed its ways drastically tomorrow, people still would be feeling an altered environment's effects for decades to come.
Hence, the title of one of the more intriguing panels in Tuesday's Conference on World Affairs lineup -- "Climate Change: Get Used To It."
As moderator, Jane Saltzman, executive director of Boulder's Earth Vision Trust -- a nonprofit group that oversees photographer James Blalog's Extreme Ice Survey -- won't contribute her own views during the 80-minute session. But she did so in a recent interview with the Camera.
"I think the last three I did were kind of humor-oriented panels, and this one, I think the humor level will be not as present," Saltzman said.
"It will be a fairly serious conversation that will stay focused on the fact that we now are living in a new normal, and climate change is, in fact, a given part of our lives. And what do we do? How do we learn to live? How do we learn to adapt to it? Because we don't really have a choice, at this point."
Saltzman added, "Our own country, is, I believe, at a turning point; we have been locked in the debate for a long time, although the debate in my mind is fictitious; it is a marketing campaign. Because, 97 percent of the scientists in the world believe that this is going on."
When 2012 staggered to a close, it was officially recorded as the hottest year on record for the contiguous 48 United States. The year's average temperature of 55.3 degrees Fahrenheit was more than 3.2 degrees warmer than the 20th century average, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
The CWA is famed for assigning guests to panels in which they're called upon to engage subjects that might not line up directly with their fields of expertise. That would be the case for the climate change panel, which will include Seth Shostak, senior astronomer for SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, at Mountain View, Calif.
This will be Shostak's 13th conference, and the climate change session will be one of eight panels in which he takes part this week -- an endurance feat he jokes that he'll manage by gargling formaldehyde.
"Eighty percent of the panels I am on typically involve subjects on which I don't have any expertise," Shostak admitted. "But those, to be honest, are the most interesting panels for me, because I'm forced to think about, and talk about, something I haven't thought about. That's actually very interesting, to me."
But climate change, he said, is one to which he has often given some thought.
"I find it remarkable that there are so many people who think this is some sort of plot by scientists to keep them out of their SUVs," Shostak said. "That is kind of crazy."
He recalls the visit to CWA in 2009 by James Hansen, who resigned last week from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies to take a more active role in the political and legal efforts to limit greenhouse gases.
"Hansen gave a talk, saying, 'We have got to stop burning coal, not today, but we have to stop doing it yesterday.' And we haven't done that," Shostak said.
"Climate change tends to be very provincial. Some people will do something, somewhere, but unfortunately it's a planet-wide problem. That makes it very difficult to solve, for very obvious reasons. You haven't convinced China to do that."
Humanity must face the facts, Shostak said, likening climate change to "a big flywheel."
"It's spinning, and even if we put on the brakes, it's going to take a while to come to a complete stop," Shostak said.
Also on the climate change panel are geologist/anthropologist Charles Love, who is a professor emeritus at Western Wyoming College, and Mary Evelyn Tucker, a senior lecturer and senior research scholar at Yale University.

The Red Bull Ultra Natural 2013
Snowboarding's elite tore the feature-riddled run Scary Cherry to pieces at Baldface, British Columbia during the 2013 Red Bull Ultra Natural. Dudes went massive. No one died. Powder was shredded. Full story and photos below.
If you were king of the castle, how would you hold court? Would you hold another jester match or try something new? Would you construct your own private training terrain or invite friends over for a show? Say you eventually created your own paradise. For Travis Rice that path to the throne is one of the most prominent snowboarding careers. For Jeff Pensiero the royal tenure is a physical place, a snowboarding Shangri La called Baldface Lodge outside of Nelson, British Columbia. Combined with the help of a few big sponsors they welcome a select crew to one of snowboarding's most elite and experimental gatherings, the Ultra Natural.
Formerly the Supernatural (a lawsuit over the naming with Tourism BC spurred the name change), the Ultra Natural is a 16-rider roster of snowboarding's best competing, or rather celebrating, in the British Columbia backcountry. Littered with handmade wooded lofts, bonks, mushrooms and diving boards stashed in the upper trees, the 55-degree pitch of the "Scary Cherry" run is no joke. The riding can go from mellow to massive in a split second. "You never really get a good perspective on your feature until you hit it. I didn't really know until I was on the pillow, like falling out of the sky from forty feet was a little excessive. And the park jump was the first one I've hit since last year here." Lucas Debari affirms after boosting one of the largest airs of the day. Riders loosely knew what to expect from last years' event, yet Travis Rice and crew were busy over the summer adjusting the wooden structures. One of the most challenging parts to the course overall is deciding what to hit and what to do on said hit.
After cleaning the tree section, the run funnels into various natural hips and handmade hits before a long straightaway into a massive five-lipped tabletop (courtesy of Snow Park Technologies) with an untouched pow landing. A few more hits and bonks are added to the mix before the run finishes at the bottom of the gully. All told the course is roughly three times the length of the X Games slopestyle and more dynamic than any snowboarding creation to date. Talk about leg burn. Watching riders tear up the stack of creative hits tucked into the hill was kind of like a cross between a real life Mario game and watching an artist perform. With hits everywhere and sixteen of snowboarding's best with the freedom to roam, each rider left their signature mark.
The runs and resulting scores came from the scrutiny of a legendary panel with the likes of Peter Line, Tom Burt, Andy Hetzel, Temple Cummins and Jamie Lynn who judged this new breed of event. "This contest is probably the hardest contest to judge and separate because there are so many different styles. You have people like Lucas who are charging down the hill, you know, going big and fast, but then there are riders kind of trolling around and doing more tricks and technical things. So how do you judge that? No matter what you're basically comparing apples to bananas, so it still comes down to overall impression, flow, air and some technical aspects." says head judge Tom Burt. While it was technically a contest, it felt more like a one big session of friends with a massive production in tow. One big show. One that's best watched on the big screen for full effect.
Above is the Full Recap Video from the Red Bull Ultra Natural 2013.
Pat Moore was the first rider to take on the untouched. He took the top course smooth with hits before pointing it into the jump. Being the first rider to even test the speed, it was a guinea pig gamble. Unfortunately, he knuckled into a poof of snow. That may have shook him up for his second run as he tumbled through the top trees with some serious speed and consequence. Falls and all, Pat still put together some solid lines, earning him 8th place a spot in next years event.
Terje Haakonsen carried the controlled speed and composure that he's known for, lining up hit after hit in the top section. From frontside bones to crails and methods—Terje styled out his run keeping it clean and huge, and enough for 4th place. In a similar style, Jake Blauvelt carved smooth lines into the rider's right side of the course picking off hits and clean airs, notably a clean butter to front seven off one of the wedges. However the simple, stylistic approach wasn't quite enough to match the rest of the field and Jake finished 13th.
Nicolas Müller took to the course on the far rider's right and into quite possibly the largest hit of the day. Nico ramped up a diving board wedge before snapping cross-court nearly fifteen feet over an already elevated pillow putting him well over thirty feet up. While he didn't quite stomp it, he repeated the hit on his second run with a white-roomed landing of sorts. "Yeah, you didn't stomp it, but you went fucking huge and surfed out of it, which gives you points in my book," Peter Line told him later that evening. Combined with smooth spins and hits for the rest of the run, Nico barged into second place.
Lucas Debari also had one of loftiest airs of the day, over sets and sets of features, somewhere in the range of eighty feet or more down the course. He has a hungry, go for broke approach and when he's on, it's insane. While Lucas stomped some big tricks, he botched the park jump and a few other hits, barely edging himself out of a return trip with 9th place finish.
Mark McMorris returned via another X Games Sloestyle gold. And this time he was in prime powder form. Mark took like a kid in a tree fort to some of the elevated platforms and ladder rides, carrying speed and fluidity rather than hesitation throughout the run. While he wasn't completely free of tomahawks, Mclovin did stomp a badass double cork over the park jump on his second run and edged out quite a few big names for a 6th place finish.
Snowboarder Magazine's wildcard pick Bryan Fox proved himself worthy with a third place finish. By linking back-to-back threes, drops and grabs throughout his runs and a smooth seven on the park jump, Bryan put together some solid runs. He was the only rider to stay upright through the course, but didn't quite have the creativity or spunk of Muller or Ruf's runs. "I expected very little of myself, my main goal was to not look stupid on TV. So that was the most nerve-racking thing. Because when you film video parts you eat shit all day and no one ever sees it. It was kind of like filming a video part in public. And it was cool to stand next to those dudes on the podium, I was so happy, So but at the end of the day there are thirteen other dudes who are kind of bummed, so I kind of felt like shit. That's just the nature of contests and pitting people against each other."
Fellow Quiksilver teammate and last year's Super Natural winner Travis Rice couldn't quite muster a podium run. Although he stomped some clean drops and airs in the upper section, Rice cased the park jumps twice. Regardless of finish, Rice deserves a massive award for creating one of the best gigs around. Not only did he invent the event's formula, he's been heavily involved in the day-to-day production from sun up to sun down everyday we've been here.
First place finisher Gigi Ruf charged the hill with the spring, style and spontaneity he's know for. Rather than tying to fine-tune one run, Gigi took too different approaches on either side of the course. From the massive "Caterpillar" pad and long down log to a few huge wedge hits and utterly huge back one over the park jump. Gigi's smooth stylish riding and beasty airs couldn't be beat.
With limited space for only 16 riders, next year's invitations will be interesting. The top eight finishers earned a return trip. The 2014 X Games Slopestyle contest is yet to be decided, Snowboarder and TransWorld may still get some wildcard picks. One question though, with a 10th place finish, will Travis be back?
Something that's not captured in the two runs and a half day's broadcast coverage is the pulse of snowboarding's creative genius, power, and camaraderie pooling around in the snow nested lodge. Many of these riders know each other, but they've never all ridden together as a group. Other than the contest day, riders have been lapping pow and milling together in the lodge as good friends in celebration. It's a rare gathering of the tribe. While it is a massive TV production and technically a contest with huge corporate investment, it's done right. It's an event created by snowboarders to celebrate and push the boundaries of sliding sideways. And what better place to hold it than Baldface? A spiritual and cultural place engrained in snowboarding where the spirit of Craig Kelly is alive and well, and it rubs off on everyone. Outside of the two scored runs, riding and fun matter most. As Nicolas Muller recalls from his time here, "It's a festival in the name of shredding. Thanks to Travis, thanks to everyone for creating it."

A brand new independent film festival.
JOHN K. PRESENTS A KIDDIE MATINEE shows from 1:00 - 2:30 PM at the historic Orpheum Theater in downtown Flagstaff, Arizona.
I suggested this event because I remembered that when I was a kid, they used to have Saturday matinees with old cartoons, comedy shorts and dinosaur movies. I figured that a lot of modern kids don't get to see this kind of stuff - especially all in one showing, so this is good old fashioned family entertainment - with lots of explosions, frying pans over the head and slapstick wackiness! Parents will love it too!
Afterwards stick around for a meet and greet, and get a caricature ($10 for kids; $20 for adults).
Saturday Evening 7:00: JOHN K. RETROSPECTIVE a more adult-oriented program at 7:00 PM also at the Orpheum Theater. Lots of rare Spumco cartoons and crazy stuff.
After the show concludes there will be another chance to get a caricature, and chat with me about the films. Kali will be there too so make her draw for you.
There will also be a FREE outdoor show Sunday night with fun and cartoons and mingling with the filmmakers and Hoi Polloi.
Tickets available online! It's $10 per show. Although you can buy a pass for the full week of film and shows for $99.
Go see the Grand Canyon while you're there, it's very close by!
Visit something even more HISTORIC -Flintstone Village!
- Address:
- Grand Canyon Hwy, Valle, AZ
- Directions:
- On the west side of US 180 just north of its junction with Hwy 64.
- Hours:
- Daily 6 am-sunset (summer), 7 am-sunset (winter) (Call to verify)

Bengaluru Blahnteru - Part Sthree:
Over by two coffee at the Byadara Bomma Instt of Technology canteen:
Recorded for posterity at 42/C, 20th Cross, 15th Main, Malleswaram
Living with a Bengalooru guy for the past few months involved listen to exactly this only. Kiraak only you are.
after watching ur second clip, i'm just wondering how many call centre fellows' minds you could have fucked up.. quite scary..
but no matter what, those mallu nurse kutties simbly rock!
(and will someone shed light on who the 1st clip in this post was targeting?)

Oops, he is just up there^!

As Mr.Rangachar (B.A,B.T) would have said in the Deccnerald letters column, " Kudos to Mr.Bikerdude for his excellent performance."
Kindly administer one pat on back for the lovely work in the second video.
Late-a vandaaLum, latest-a vandkonDirkrna.
This was TOOO much! Brilliant! You suffering from writer's cramp is like Bipasha Basu running out of new dance wriggles.
Interestingly, my mom does something similar to call center callers. She speaks to them in Konkani. Once I heard her tell one a complete recipe for Mangalore fish curry!

The Iyengar mami dialogue was fantastic.. reminded me of one of my Bengalooru friend's mom (who is no more, alas!)
Also, one of my Bombay friends living in Miami tells me that when he is mistaken to be a Hispanic and someone starts to talk to him in Spanish, he promptly replies in Tamil! LOL

Vaidy: Gaaahaha I do that too. Unfortunately Indian languages dont turn people on like Spanish or Italian do I say. Which, um, is a good thing on occasion i suppose.
Not being in or around Malleswaram, we (as in our litil family of me and two kids) could most appreciate the canteen talk.
The full duet (over slurps of by-2 coffee) was too good only
Toooo good! Simply brilliant. Malleswaram's own one man Monty Python. ^Bowing in reverence^

The call center/ wannabe mother-daughter duo is awesome! U might have writer's cramp (as u put it) but u don't seem to be have any trouble capturing these vocal imitations!

Small-sized smartphones are so last year. According to a new report, some major players in the mobile market have bigger plans for 2013.
Industry sources have allegedly told DigiTimes that Samsung, Sony, LG, Huawei, and ZTE are planning to launch smartphones with full HD 5-inch displays come next year. Little information has been revealed, but these theoretical handsets are expected to be released in the first half of 2013.
Samsung and LG will allegedly produce these panels in house, while Sony Mobile will obtain them from Japan Display (JDI), in which it holds a stake. Smartphone vendors based in China and Taiwan can purchase full HD panels from JDI, Sharp, or LG, the source said to DigiTimes.
If these rumors turn out to be correct, these manufacturers will follow in the footsteps of vendors such as HTC and Sharp. HTC just launched its Butterfly smartphone with a 5-inch full HD display panel from JDI, featuring 440 pixels per inch. Sharp also released the Aquos SH930W earlier this year, which comes equipped with a 5-inch panel packing 443 pixels per inch.
This news from DigiTimes lines up with plans that Japan Display announced earlier this year. Back in October, the company revealed that its massive joint venture, which consists of Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi, began mass production of a 5-inch 1,080-pixel screen bound for smartphones in the future, CNET reported.
While some manufacturers are still accustomed to implementing smaller displays in their smartphones, Samsung is no stranger to lengthier screens. Its recently launched Galaxy Note 2 comes with a 5.5-inch OLED display and is primarily marketed as a smartphone-tablet hybrid. The original Galaxy Note sported a whopping 5.3-inch display – the first of that size for Samsung. It's widely successful flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S3, features a 4.8-inch display, which is about .3 inches larger than its predecessor's 4.52- inch screen.
Perhaps this tip from DigiTimes is an indicator that the highly rumored Galaxy S4 will come with a 5-inch display, but until the company makes this information known it can only be considered speculation.

Flood-related resources:
How to help victims of the flood
Complete coverage:
Small rivers run where hikers once walked, and massive debris fields now block major trails. The conditions on Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks are "horrendous" after five days of flooding, Open Space Director Mike Patton said Monday.
Patton said he saw devastation everywhere he went, starting Thursday morning. The road into Gregory Canyon is now a creek, which needed to be immediately diverted because it ran into the adjacent neighborhood. The McClintock fire road at Chautauqua Park is blocked by a debris field 20 to 30 feet high and twice as long. A brand-new trailhead at Thomas Lane for the South Boulder Creek Trail is wiped out. Numerous other trailheads are still underwater or severely damaged.
"Every trail that you can think of is in horrendous shape," he said.
Open space has formed 10 teams of three people each and divided the city's open space properties into 20 sections. Those teams are walking every trail as far as possible documenting the debris in detail. Where are bridges missing? Where have creeks rerouted? Where do gaping holes or flood debris block trails?
That information will be used to develop a plan for rebuilding the trail system, starting with repairing and opening the trails that can be most quickly restored in each quadrant of the city, Patton said.
"We recognize that people need the emotional relief of open space," he said. "We want to create places for them to go."
The initial review should be done by the end of the day today, a summary of which will be presented at tonight's Boulder City Council meeting.
Patton asked that the public respect open space closures while rangers work to assess the damage.
Monday morning, Rocky Mountain Rescue had to respond to a man who broke his ankle climbing over debris on the closed McClintock fire road. That injury was unnecessary and diverted resources away from others who need help, Patton said.
Restoring the trail system could take months and even years.
"Because of the extent of the damage, it's going to take time," Patton said.
It took more than a year after the Flagstaff Fire to reopen the Bear Creek West Ridge and Shadow Canyon trails.
And just as blackened trees remain after a fire, the flood-altered landscape along trails will remain as a reminder of the power of nature for years to come.
"Nature will take care of that," Patton said.

A look at the modern marketer and what makes the grade in this evolving industry.
Denis Failly's insight:
To describe the fact that future marketer will be hybrid, I use the word "Genecialist" (Combination of "Generalist" with holistic approach And "Specialist" with more focused approach)
A common practice when working in a digital agency is defining a marketing strategy based on specific goals, targets, budget and timeframe.
This is one of the reasons why I wanted to make a chart which would easily demonstrate the process and metrics you can use for measuring performance and what channel works best for specific goals.
This is the first in a series of plans, but in short it is an overview of the strategy process.

We're all very familiar with the idea that modern B2B buyers are increasingly well-informed and far less dependent on individual sales interactions to get hold of the information they need to make buying decisions.
But according to a recent survey revealed by Neil Rackham of SPIN Selling fame, B2B buyers are also demanding more expertise and support from sales people than ever before. How can these two apparent contradictions be rationalised?
It turns out that the answer lies in the increasingly polarised nature of B2B buying behaviour…
To increase b-to-b sales productivity, consider the following factors to help sales and marketing define and agree on lead quality

The most important thing to set for Marketing - Sales alignment
If you work in a large organization, you're probably fortunate to have people devoted to creating and setting up testing and tracking mechanisms. People who also provide reports and analyses so you can make decisions about what to do next. There are thousands of things you can test, track and analyze.
Denis Failly's insight:
Key and very simple metrics to know whether you hit your goals
CEM or customer experience management is the line of business where we organize and manage the customer service actions and business operations to enhance the customer's perception of their interaction with the organization.
This infographic by CustVox, now owned by SandSIV, reminds us of "what is the customer experience?" and is a great starting place for organizations wanting to increase their focus on developing customer relationships and is also a great refresher for those with programs already in place to measure their actions and the results of their customer experience efforts.
Denis Failly's insight:
CEM goes beyond CRM that is too much company centric, think before in term of interaction and not transaction

Big data means much more than a change in technology, it represents a structural transformation is how we will manage our enterprises. Terabytes, Petabytes, Exabytes. Who can keep track? These strange terms have just begun to enter the business lexicon, but the hype surrounding them has reached a fever pitch. We have undoubtedly entered the age of big data. Yet it's hard for many to take it seriously. While the blogosphere buzzes and millennials preach, most serious business people are focused on their jobs. They have partners, customers and employees to keep happy and all the techy mumbo jumbo just doesn't seem relevant !

Fouad Bendris's curator insight, February 7, 2014 3:41 PM
Remember, what you really need to know about big data is this: It represents a fundamental shift in how we do things. In effect, big data opens the door to a Bayesian approach to strategy where we no longer try to be "right" based on controlled research and small samples, but rather become less wrong over time as real world information floods in ...

A very informative Survey focused on B2B for Sales & Marketers
I've talked before about how big data is driving content marketing. And also earlier this week about how customer insightsare becoming the main competitive differentiation between old-school traditionalists and modern marketers.
But somewhere rolling around in my head was a post about how in today's digital and social world, data and content are the same thing, or they are parts of one another, or somehow closely related.
Denis Failly's insight:
main considerations for bringing together the power of data and content to drive effective demand generation.
In any technology-centric company, product managers, engineers and developers who have their finger on the pulse of customers have the highest credibility and respect. Over time they also have the most success in their careers. This happens because their innate understanding of the customer is the most valuable currency there is [...]
Denis Failly's insight:
Unhappily not used enough by Marketers
In most of my sales and marketing work, I try to use only three different measurements to guide it. I have found that though we can create more these pieces to the measurement puzzle can cover a lot of ground without complicating things. The three different pieces are performance measures, impact measures and outcome measures.

Denis Failly's insight:
Very long presentations are they still useful
Marketing VP's, Directors, and CMO's have passionately pursued "marketing ROI" for several years now. Marketing technology innovation, shifts in strategic thinking, and the focus on measuring every activity and campaign are key drivers. CEO's and CFO's and the never ending drone from Sales adds emotional fuel to the mix.
Pursuing marketing ROI is misguided. Marketing is not an investment. Marketing will never produce ROI
Denis Failly's insight:
"You heard someone present marketing conference and they have 87,000 followers on Twitter and all they talked about was Marketing ROI. There's a reason why those people are professional speakers and not strategic marketers. '
Content marketers have a love-hate relationship with data and for good reason: For all its granular detail, it can never paint a complete picture. McMurry/TMG's Jimmy Daly says it's time to step back from the data deluge.
Denis Failly's insight:
"Metrics might help you highlight short-term gains but without a mutual understanding of their meaning, they likely cannot help you instill faith in your client that your work is delivering value."

Denis Failly's insight:
And don't forget to track all clickable elements
What is the first thing consumers do when they come across an advertisement or if they come to know about a particular product through a friend? Yes, they look for more information online. To get the best information they read about the product on a company's website, watch videos related to that product, read reviews of others and finally they arrive at a purchase decision. In this whole process, consumers go through content like blogs, articles, reports, etc. on different social media platforms

|How it Works

For most prospective buyers, those first few steps into a circa 1970s or 1980s finished basement can be a shocking and scary experience. For most, it's difficult to see past the passé decor of orange shag carpet, wood panelling and dated fireplace; all very typical to the era of these rec rooms.
Those of us who belong to a certain generation, however, can remember when these retro spaces were a big stepup. Finished basements were a relatively new concept. Until the late '50s, basements were typically concrete bunkers that housed mom's laundry and dad's workbench. Throw in a dartboard and - presto - there was your recreation.
It's hardly surprising that the first family on the block to get wall-to-wall carpeting and a Formica bar was the envy of the neighbourhood.
Oh, how tastes have changed. It's a good lesson to keep in mind when finishing your own basement. As with all design projects, there are two basic approaches: One is to do things the way you really want them, throwing any resale considerations to the wind; the other is to temper your choices to better stand the test of time. There is merit in both, but it's crucial to understand which path you're going down and to recognize that there is a chance you may not entirely recoup your investment.
Don't stress. It's safe to assume that finishing a space will bump up your property value. In terms of what you can expect back with a basement renovation, the Appraisal Institute of Canada quotes a range of 50 to 75 per cent.
In addition to the increase in property value, finishing a basement can drastically expand your livable space. Take a bungalow for example; it will actually double in size with a finished basement. If your living quarters are feeling a little cramped, it may be worth some serious consideration.
Conventional uses of a finished basement include family rooms, entertaining spaces, children's playrooms and exercise areas. Some families may require a fourth bedroom or guest room, which can be a great use of space.
A gifted interior designer can help you combine several functions with a natural flow and direct your lighting choices (so important) with a trained eye. Even when the budget is tight, consider springing for a two-hour consultation: An investment this sizable should really have some professional input.
One trend making huge strides now is the home theatre, complete with projection television, an elaborate sound system and tiered cinema-style seating.
Now this is a great example of a renovation choice that should be made for the joy it will bring today, as opposed to the money it will bring in later. While it can be costly to install, it will ultimately appeal to a more narrow audience - no pun intended. (The Appraisal Institute estimates investment recovery for a home theatre between 25 and 50 per cent).
Buyers of pre-construction homes face the same issue but ask themselves a very different question: Should they finish the basement right away or delay? There are decided benefits to having your builder take charge. It's more convenient, it's covered by warranty and the cost can be included in your mortgage.
On the other hand, your mortgage may simply not stretch that far. Some buyers choose a middle road, paying the builder to insulate and drywall the exterior walls, with roughed-in electrical and plumbing. This certainly reduces the hassle come renovation time.
Owners of older homes often have to contend with issues of moisture, which may require dampproofing, lot regrading and/or addressing drainage issues; the last thing you want is water damage on your beautiful new drywall or flooring.
Where older, shallow basements used to be non-contenders for finishing, it's recently become more common to "dig down" in order to provide comfortable head clearance. This can yield incredible results - but the process is most definitely messy and pricey and not for the faint of heart.
It's not the kind of project to engage in if you're planning on moving in a few years; rather, it's a commitment to make when you've found your "forever house." For some families, this extra space means the difference between reluctantly leaving the home of their dreams and putting down roots for years to come.

More about Simply Amish
Amish in the City. The Simply Amish story began in the 1970s, when bell-bottoms and short shorts could be spotted just about everywhere —
except in good Amish homes. Across the nation, a new age of convenience had arrived. Microwave ovens were becoming common-place, and fashion-forward housewives were ordering the latest kitchen appliances in a wide range of deceptively tasteful sounding colors, like Avocado Green and Harvest Gold. But in a time of rapid change and progress, no one in the city could buy a beautiful piece of Amish furniture without a long trip to the country. Until a couple of guys from the country came up with a novel idea.
The Beginning. It all started in 1979, when Kevin Kauffman and his brothers joined their dad to learn the finer points of furniture construction on their family farm. Putting his experience to good use, Kevin soon joined forces with his uncle, John Mast, to start a company that would pursue a much larger vision. Together, the two partners eventually linked an entire network of traditional Amish workshops with a modern distribution system, and furniture lovers everywhere rejoiced.
The Rest is History Joined later by John's brother, Butch, and a fourth partner, Kent Patterson, they soon hit their stride, transforming an innovative furniture distribution system into a great American brand. And Simply Amish was born. By handling orders and warehousing finished products, Simply Amish solved two problems — it gave the outside world access to the work of skilled Amish craftsmen, and it allowed the Amish to work undisturbed, making beautiful wood furniture. Built to order. And made to last.

Living with Real Wood furniture is easy and maintaining your furniture will help your new purchase today become an heirloom of tomorrow. Follow these easy steps to perserve your new quality furniture.
To clean simply use a soft cloth such as an old white t-shirt moistened in Orange Oil Polish. Reuse the same cloth for light dusting. Click here to view Polishes and Cleaners.
Protect your finish
NEVER use glass or household cleaners on finished furniture. Ammonia will chemically attack and damage the finish.
Prevent Yellowing
Do not use commercial waxes and spray polishes. Do not place in direct sunlight. Polish items frequently if exposed to direct sunlight.
Prevent Splitting
Maintain even humidity conditions in your home.
Prevent Damage
Do not place hot pots and laptops directly on surface. Laptops can get extemely hot on the bottom, just like a hot pot. When left on a wood surface for an extended period, damage may occur. Use a trivet or placemat.
Wipe up Spills
Wipe up spills immediately and dry completely with soft cloth. Do not clean wood surfaces with a wet sponge. Cleaning with water on a day to day basis will strip the finish off furniture. The finishes of today are designed to withstand spills as long as they are wiped up and not left to dry.
Size does matter when shopping for furniture
Measure your Components
Measure your television and other components that you would like to place in your furniture. If you have special collectibles - a fine piece of Lladro or a special vase - note the measurements. Always buy your television before your furniture and have the outside dimensions available. Width x Depth x Height. Manufacture television sizes vary widely, and the "size" television has no reflection on the actual width and height of the TV.
Measure for Delivery
It is important that your furniture be delivered through all entryways, elevators and up all stairways. Measure the height and width of your entryways, including staircases, hallways, elevator doors and interiors. Make note of any fixtures, decorative moldings, interior walls, ceiling heights, stairwells and banisters that may pose an obstacle once inside. Consider the furniture to be delivered and determine if it can go straight through entryways or if it will have to go in at an angle or on end. Please consult with a salesperson if you have even the slightest doubt. We can help you determine if the furniture can be delivered into your room, and we can suggest products can be ordered in two pieces for easier access.
We are Here to Help
Our staff is trained to work with your space, your needs, and your style. Bring us your dimensions, and a drawer, shelf or door from a piece in the room for sample color. We will help you find the right piece for your room. Don't forget, our website is just a drop in the bucket of what's available.
