I have a Kia Sorento Titan and the air bag light stays on when

Resolved Question:

I have a Kia Sorento Titan and the air bag light stays on when I hacve turned the key in the ignition, it is supposed to come on but then should go off, just want to check if it is still safe to drive with the airbag light on? as I can't get it to a dealer to check as it's the bank holiday?

Expert:  Robert replied 2 years ago.

Hopefully i can help..

The airbag/srs system goes through its own self test when the ignition is turned..once its statisfied there are no faults on the airbag system then the light should go out - if it stays on throughout the duration of using the car then it measn the airbag/srs system has detected a fault..and this can cover areas such as the airbags itself / wiring to those / clockspring on the steering wheel / seat belt pretensioners - to progress further it would be advisable to have the airbag system diagnostically tested to see which area is at fault..normally it can be as simple a loose connection mainly under seat connectors that can come loose if the seat is normally adjusted alot..but the test/fault codes according should verfiy as the mean time it will be certainly ok to drive its just means the airbag system may not be operational or deploy if in the event of an accident until as such its is rectified the fault..I do hope this helps

Katie Holmes & Suri Cruise: Pizza Party!

Katie Holmes & Suri Cruise: Pizza Party!

Katie Holmes and her mini-me Suri have a pizza lunch together on Sunday afternoon (March 15) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Suri, who turns 3 in about one month, hid her head in her mom’s shoulder for most of the time.

Katie, 30, debuted longer locks at the premiere of husband Tom Cruise’s latest WWII flick, Valkyrie in Japan on Wednesday. Looks like those extensions didn’t stay in for very long!

15+ pictures inside of Katie & Suri‘s pizza party…

  • lips,tits smack that old ass.

  • cocoa

    dude she’s got cankles

    Hair in Suri’s eyes – Katie is too busy to take care of her only kid?

  • Barker

    What a waterhead Suri is. Quite the fivehead there.

  • cc

    the child needs her bangs trimed! this cannot be good thing for a little girl. how can she sees anything?

  • dabu

    Well, gee that sounds like fun. Let’s take the little princess out so she can hide the whole time. Wow. Guess she is just continuing the pimping that went on in NYC.

  • Lola

    What extensions? That was a wig.

  • bral
  • Susie

    Why is Katie carrying a blanket?? And why doesn’t she let Suri walk?
    What a jerk.

    Why is Katie carrying a blanket?? And why doesn’t she let Suri walk? And do they HAVE to wear matching outfits? What a jerk.

  • Laure

    she’s so chic.

  • sayin’

    that child is not getting any cuter anymore.

  • Vera

    it was in the 60′s in the mid day(warmest)
    certainly NOT shorts or sandal weather in L.A.

    krazy lady!

  • lola

    she has to do something about her huge legs ,omg short hair again i can’t stand it with long hair she was a live and gorgeous but i love to see her out and about with suri Such a cute kid!

  • blackisthenewwhite

    looks like suri wants shiloh and zahara’s chic black style.

  • Lisa too

    Looks like Suri is growing out her bangs. Maybe once her bangs are a little longer she will have her hair cut in the back and it will be all one length? Too bad she won’t wear a cute barrettes until it grows out more?

  • eew

    katie’s got hippo legs.

  • bobszibb

    Suri is a sourpus. Katie is drab.

    Boring, and Suri is not cute with her autistic behavior.

  • jake

    reason for those bangs on Suri… so that she can hide better when she does not want to bother with people.

    hope she gets the help she needs….she seems to be a special needs child.

    guess tom’s cult religion will not allow that.

    what idiots

  • sniffles

    Who cares if she has cankles, I have much worse features than that!! I have to admit I’d do something about the feet though. I wish she would grow her hair out, she’s gorgeous with long hair.

  • Crissy

    It would be super cute if Suri ,Shiloh, Zahara and Violet were friends and played together

  • Damien

    ANYWAYS THANKS FOR POSTING JJ…love to see katie, tom and suri

  • only JP kids are pefect huh?

    You idiots are TOO funny! Ahem, WHY DOES BRAD CARRY SAME AGE SHILOH? AND OLDER Z? AND OLDER PAX? AND MAD WAS CARRIED UNTIL 6. and not a word said. Shiloh’s hair was a frigging mess, until some nanny probably couldn’t take it anymore and fixed it so she can see! And ‘pimping?” I guess Brad is guilty of that too, taking the kids all over recently and having their pic’s taken.
    Sourpuss Suri? you HAVE to be kidding me! Zahara is the Queen of Sour, I have yet to see her teeth! Suri is adorbale, lay off a baby, better yet, spread the love from the pitt perect family to other kids…Morons, and haters with sick minds, end of story.

  • only JP kids are pefect huh?

    SUSIE you are joking right? Post why Angelina and Brad carry Shiloh who is the exact age as Suri, and of cause they still carry their older kids, do they not? When they recently saw Little Mermaid in NY, I kinda recall Brad and Angie CARRYING their kids, correct? Want to research those pics on here? Go ahead! Are you SO brainwashed by this sick JP fan club (and boy are you all sick!) that no other star can carry their kids, Except angie and brad? is this for real???? No body with a brain would believe this.

  • Xenu is real

    I really don’t think the kid is autistic, people! I think she’s just seriously messed from being exposed to all that $cientology cult weirdness already.

  • zahara is carried&pax&shi!

    #29/28 i was wonderin te same thing myself, why nobody complained about the big kids being help all the time by brad/angie, nobody here ever says anyting, and zee and pax and mad are way older. shi is the same age she sure is carried still. but u are right, not a single poster ever says anything about them being carried. damn they sure think everyone is wrong, but the angie/brads of the world *****
    i also agree shi’s hair was all in her face for the last year, and the posters thought it i guess u can say this is strictly a one sided board all on the branaglina side for sure*******

  • Xenu is real

    #28 & 29 – $cientologist alert!!! LOL – research brainwashed.

  • suri is adorable!

    Autistic, ‘special needs”?????? are you people serious? sick bunch! all of you, how can you even suggest such crap? Damn!
    as for kate, first it was she’s too thin, her legs are fine, get a life, better yet, grow up!

  • uh oh…

    I bet the ground shakes as Katie strides along with her gargantuan, thundering leg trunks.

  • Raphael

    So what, #7?

    Shut up about her bangs #7 and #10.

    She’s taking her outside in public to enjoy life and get something to eat, #11.

    What’s this walking crap you’re always spouting, #14? Who cares?

    I think I’ll let the PARENT decide what HER daughter should wear, #18.

    You really should stop saying she’s autistic, #23 and #24.

  • Xenu is real

    Looks like katie was trying to lose the weight in her legs but it just didn’t work and made her top half look even more out of proportion with her legs.
    She should really try some leg-focused exercise routines instead of dieting.

  • what?

    Are you people on DRUGS? HAVE YOU READ ANY OF THE ANGELINA thread here? She probably gets it worse than Tomkat. Plastic face Brad never gets any crap. Better check Yo self!

  • viv

    oh raphael….raphael… wrong are thee…

    I did not mention the word- autistic.

    see how much you don’t know?

    special needs- it’s very obvious. I have a friend who teaches special needs children…some of them are autistic….but, not all. She has very similar traits, behaviors…..that indicate her a special needs child. It can simply mean- she is not developing quite right- and it masks itself as a ” very shy child”. That is just one sign.

  • Xenu is real

    Okay seriously, I’ve worked with autistic children before and suri is NOT autistic and most likely not special needs – it looks to be more a case of standard developmental delay (which is fairly common in some over-privileged children and can be grown out of quickly).
    I mean really, if you were brought up in that $cientology cult, you’d be pretty messed up too. Some of the cult escapees know this first hand, you can read their stories on for yourself.
    It certainly doesn’t help that her parents drag her around in front of celeb-gawkers and paparazzi all the time. I don’t care how “used to it” a kid may seem, it is still very traumatic.

  • Crazy people!

    I hold my 4 years old… there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Especially this is the only child. TomKat has every reason to spoil their only child! you guys are nut case!

  • hag

  • One Word

  • Vera

    this is not just sourpus because she doesn’t
    like the papz(like Zee) but this is a disturbance
    on her face. She needs help.
    It was cold today..WHY dress like it was in the 80′s?
    She was probably ordered by the dictator to make
    a papz run in those ridiculous shorts & piano legs.

  • okay, one more word

  • nora

    I live in L.A. and the highs today were in the low 60′s. No one was wearing shorts. Katie is so damn weird. When it’s boiling hot, she’s wears layers of clothes. When it’s cool, she wears shorts. Proof that she is indeed a fembot.

  • Mini-Me Cankle Pizza Party!

    Still no friends :(

  • Raphael

    Very similar traits and behaviors, #38? You’re diagnosing her based on paparazzi pictures!

    She HAS to be taken outside in public to enjoy life, #39. It’s healthy, physically and mentally. It’s not about being dragged out for the paparazzi.

    And I don’t think she’s suffering from any developmental delay either. It’s silly that you’re coming up with all these conclusions based on nothing substantial.

  • Lily Allen was left “hurt”

    Lily Allen was left “hurt” during a recent trip to the US – after being mistaken for Katie Holmes.

  • Aussie Girl

    #28-29 You two must’nt go on this site very often. Brad&Angelina get dissed almost constantly regarding everything to do with their kids!!
    “Why do they carry them, why only dark colors, no coats, blah blah, blah”why don’nt all go out at same time! It is all really stupid, but TomKat are getting same as the JPS!!! Also Suri does not look special needs!!

  • Noooo!

    Cut her focking bangs!

Drifting back

Have you ever been in a coma, I have. When and if you wake up it really changes you. For the first couple of years you try to figure out who you were. After searching you finally give up and decide that that person is gone. Next you morph into a new being, maybe better maybe not. As you develop into this new person strange things, unexplainable things, keep popping up. Songs, prose, and even situations bring back strange feelings you can’t explain. You suddenly find yourself in old circumstances you know you have seen before. Its like you are a ratt caught in a circular maze. Round and round you go knowing it’s a maze but being no closer to the end. Then your mind flashes back to the same old question, “Am I really awake or still in the dream of nothingness?” I have asked myself that question since August 2001. Will I ever have the answer? How would you ever really know if you are awake or in some crazy dream world you mind just made up. Everything seems so real but are you absolutely sure of that specific reality. Everyone’s reality is their own so in a way none of us ever escape our minds eye.

Home Street Home - KFVE, K5-Hawaii News, Weather and Sports

February 8, 2010

Home Street Home

The state's homeless problem drags on and on. Some reports indicate that it might actually be getting worse, and with the economic woes of late, that's not a great surprise. This is in spite of some solid efforts made at the City of Honolulu and state levels to provide more housing and more shelter options than ever before.

But keep in mind, some people choose not to be encumbered by rules, restrictions, and the social norms mandated in order to stay at shelters or in temporary housing. Some people want their freedom, even if it affects other people's freedoms and possibly their safety. There are many facets to homelessness, including- but not limited to- bad luck, bad circumstances, and bad choices.

But the pristine beaches and parks of this state should not become tent camps at the expense of the general public's enjoyment on a regular basis. Moving homeless groups out of one area has traditionally resulted in another area being encamped shortly thereafter. Between social work, legal efforts, empathetic entrepreneurs, and regular policing, hopefully soon we can say that we have got a better handle on helping the homeless to find a place that works for these individuals and everyone else in a humane, realistic manner. Think about it…

Here's to the fourth estate

Tom Vance's trusty 1964 edition of "The American College Dictionary" defines the fourth estate as "the public press, the newspapers, or the body of journalists." While the term may be dated, with "the media" being more current, whatever you call them, here at the Community Foundation we like reporters.

Jada Pinkett Smith: The “HawthoRNe” Interview

with Kam Williams

Headline: The Latest Data on Jada

Jada Pinkett Smith stars as Christina Hawthorne in TNT’s medical drama “Hawthorne.” In the role of Chief Nursing Officer at James River Hospital, Christina is forced to juggle the roles and subsequent relationships that are demanded of her as a professional, mother, friend and love interest. Jada notably serves as Executive Producer on the show through Overbrook Entertainment following her initial foray into the role of Executive Producer of the “The Secret Life of Bees” starring Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning.
The film captured hearts and went on to win two NAACP Image Awards along with two People’s Choice Awards. More recently, Jada produced the global blockbuster “The Karate Kid” starring her son Jaden. Beyond the medium of film and TV, Jada together with her husband Will Smith and record industry mogul Jay-Z, produced the three-time Tony Award-winning musical “Fela’” which went on to enjoy a run in London at the National Theatre.
As an actress, Jada is perhaps best known for taking-charge in the hugely successful sequels “Matrix Reloaded” and “Matrix Revolutions.” In addition, Jada has played pivotal roles opposite Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx in Michael Mann's "Collateral," as well as alongside Meg Ryan and Annette Bening in the remake of “The Women.”
Jada also teamed up with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle in “Reign Over Me,” and her voiceover work includes the role of Gloria in “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.” Later this year, she will return in the sequel which will also feature her daughter Willow.
Jada is an avid writer and her children’s book “Girls Hold Up This World” became a New York Times bestseller and continues to inspire girls all across the globe. A native of Maryland, Jada studied dance and acting at the Baltimore School for the Arts and at the North Carolina School of the Arts. Her big break came when she landed a role on the long-running NBC series “A Different World.”
Here, she talks about the premiere of the third season of her hit TNT series, HawthoRNe, and about the challenge of handling the title role of Christina. The show airs on Tuesdays at 10 PM ET & PT / 9 PM CT.

Kam Williams: Hi, Jada, thanks for another opportunity to speak with you.
Jada Pinkett Smith: Hey, Kam. How are you?

KW: I’m fine. Congratulations on your third season of HawthoRNe! How does it feel?
JPS: Oh, it feels good. It really feels good. We’re glad to be back, and I feel like we have an exciting season in store for all the HawthoRNe fans.

KW: What should fans be anticipating seeing on the show this season?
JPS: They should anticipate a highly-charged, dramatic, intense season with a lot of romance and adult issues. It’s going to be a helluva ride!

KW: I told my readers I’d be interviewing you and asked them to send in questions. One of them, Lowery Gibson, says: Your character is marrying a white doctor this season. Are you concerned about the fans reaction?
JPS: No, not at all. I’ve been in a relationship with this particular doctor (Tom Wakefield played by Michael Vartan) for the last two seasons, so I’m not really concerned about that.

KW: Editor/Legist Patricia Turnier asks: What’s the most emotionally challenging part about playing Christina Hawthorne?
JPS: Well, this year, the most challenging aspect of the role is the fact that Christina goes through an extreme trauma starting with the first episode. This whole season has actually been very emotional and highly dramatic, so I would say that, overall, it’s been a pretty difficult season to shoot.

KW: Judyth Piazza asks: What key quality do you believe all successful people share?
JPS: Our commitment. I think that’s the key quality. You just have to keep at it. People who enjoy sustained success understand the fact that you have to remain very committed to whatever it is you’re doing, especially in this instant-gratification culture.

KW: Judyth has a follow-up: What has been the most important moment of your life?
JPS: I’d have to say the birth of my children.

KW: Harriet Pakula Teweles says: Will got to work with Jaden on screen in The Pursuit of Happyness. She asks: Would you like to work with Jaden or Willow?
JPS: [Chuckles] I do work with them, just in a different capacity. It’s kind of hard for mommy to be on screen at this point. Now that Jaden’s getting a little older, his needs of me are different. There’s definitely a project that he and I have talked about doing together. But first, I just have to make sure that he doesn’t need so much of mommy off screen as well. He’s getting to that point, so I definitely anticipate doing stuff like that with both of them when they’re older.

KW: Harriet was also wondering whether you worry about the effect of celebrity on your kids, given the trouble so many child stars have handling fame.
JPS: No, this is part of their lives. They’ve been members of a very high-profile family since they were born. That’s just what it is.

KW: Harriet’s follow-up is: How do you prioritize doing a TV series? How does it fit into your family’s extremely full schedule?
JPS: Everybody has to work around mommy’s schedule when I’m working. Everybody has to stand down, basically. Willow and Jaden can’t really do anything outside of L.A. That’s just how we worked it out.

KW: Do you ever wish you could have your anonymity back?
JPS: Oh, I still have my anonymity whenever I want it. I have a great way of disappearing, and I’m able to do things people would never imagine. I’m often not recognized because I’m easy to hide if I change my hairstyle or put on a hat. I disappear very easily. That’s not hard for me to do.

KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory?
JPS: Probably walking to school by myself in the first grade. [Laughs]

KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure?
JPS: Pizza.

KW: I just baked a homemade pizza today, myself. It had an herbed, whole wheat dough, and was topped with mushrooms, onions and fresh garlic.
JPS: Ooh, nice!

KW: The Uduak Oduok question: Who is your favorite clothes designer?
JPS: Alaia.

KW: The Taboo: What’s the best thing about being a parent?
JPS: The love of a child is different from any other type of love on the planet. And being loved by your children is a love that is immense. I’m always so overwhelmed by how much my children love me. I think the best part of being a parent is feeling the love of a child.

KW: Janice Malone asks: What's one or two pieces of advice that you’ve given your kids about being an actor?"
JPS: I try to stay out of their way and kind of just let them discover things for themselves. Our job as parents is more to keep other people out of their way, so they’re free to discover what works for them on their own.

KW: Thanks for another great interview, Jada. And I appreciate you’re taking a break from your busy shooting schedule on the set to talk with me.
JPS: No problem, Kam, you have a great evening.

Ross Mathews (INTERVIEW)

Ross Mathews
The “Man Up!” Interview
with Kam Williams

Across from Ross

          Born in Mount Vernon, Washington on September 24, 1979, Ross Mathews has traveled the world and established himself as one of the most in-demand television correspondents in the pop-culture arena today. Endearing and witty, undeniably funny and one of the hardest working people in show business, Ross has won the hearts of millions of Americans since his television debut as Ross the Intern on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
          He can be seen as a regular panelist and occasional guest host on E!’s late-night talk show “Chelsea Lately,” and is a ﬁxture on the E! Network’s live red carpet awards show coverage. While working on a variety of projects Mathews continues duties on “The Tonight Show.”
          In 2009, he hosted and executive produced a daily web talk show for The Insider and CBS.com called “Inside Dish with Ross Mathews,” a show about covering Hollywood from the outside in. “Inside Dish” eventually became the official web show for the CBS hits “Big Brother” and “The Amazing Race.”
          In 2011, he began a national college tour speaking about his experiences climbing the Hollywood ladder and discussing his humorous take on pop culture. Many of his tour dates were documented on E! News’ political series, “Pop & Politics.”
          Leading up to the 2012 Presidential Election, Ross served as the official political reporter for   E! News. He covered both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, where he interviewed such leading political figures as First Lady Michelle Obama, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and former Republican Presidential nominee John McCain.
          Ross recently released his first book, “Man Up: Tales of My Self Delusional Self-Confidence.” Featuring an introduction written by Gwyneth Paltrow, and afterword from Chelsea Handler, the memoir takes readers inside Mathews’ personal journey as a super fan, revealing the most embarrassing and hilarious moments of his small town life and big city adventures, and explains how he managed to turn an obsession with pop culture into one-on-one interactions with A-list celebrities.
          Ross lives in Los Angeles with his partner Salvador, and their two rescue dogs, Louise and Mijo. When not working, he’s is a strong supporter of the Human Rights Campaign, speaking at many of its events, and receiving its Visibility Award in 2011. Here, he talks about his career, his autobiography, and the TV talk show he’ll be hosting in the fall on E! called “Hello Ross.”

Kam Williams: Hi Ross, thanks for the interview.
Ross Mathews: It’s great to talk to you, Kam.

KW: First, I want to let you know I was both thoroughly entertained by “Man Up!” and very moved by its self-empowerment theme. It’s a book I really savored and read slowly because it had substance and was thoroughly enjoyable.
RM: That makes me so happy I can’t even tell you. I can’t tell you how much I like hearing that, because it was a calculated decision to write the book which I took it very seriously. It wouldn’t be worth my while to just publish a trashy, bitchy, red carpet celebrity tell-all. I wanted my kids to be able to read it someday, and have them go, “Hey, that was pretty cool.”

KW: It was hilarious where you talked about interviewing celebrities on the red carpet, but it was also truly touching when you revisit the challenges you overcame in childhood and the support you received from your mother when you decided to come out. It gave me goose bumps.
RM: I’m going to call my mom and tell her you said that. She’ll love it!

KW: Editor/Legist Patricia Turnier asks: What message do you want people to take away from your new book?
RM: The book is really funny, but it does have a message. I wanted to make sure the readers did take something away from it. I define “Man Up!” as celebrating what you are. So many people waste time hating what makes them different. But if you are really willing to own what makes you unique, then good things can happen. That would be the message I want them to come away with.

KW: Patricia also says: You have tried several different aspects of the entertainment business. Is there another you would like to try in the future? How about directing?
RM: I just did this tour playing theaters all by myself, which was really scary, but I ended up loving it. I always thought I was only good at a couple things and felt it was best to play it safe by staying in my wheelhouse. However, this tour challenged me in a way I kinda’ enjoyed, so you never know. Every Oprah has her Color Purple.
KW: Harriet Pakula-Teweles says: Ross, it’s possible that, at first, most of your fans were laughing at you. But your “stick-to-it”-iveness eventually had them laughing with you. Good show! What are your plans to transition from Leno?
RM: I knew what I was, kind of like a high-pitched, gay cartoon with a Middle American TV audience. So, I had to get them to laugh with me by the end. In the early days, that was a struggle every piece. It was stressful, because I never knew whether I was going to get another assignment. But they did, and I’ve been doing Leno for twelve years, and I’ve developed a great relationship with the E! Network where I’ll be doing my new talk show produced by Chelsea Handler. It’s going to hit the airwaves in the Fall.

KW: Congratulations! What’s the show’s format?
RM: Yeah, it’s really cool. There are so many shows that look at Pop Culture and tear it down, saying, “Isn’t that lame?”“He’s stupid! or “She’s stupid!” But I love pop culture. I want to create a place that’s interactive where we can talk it out. It’s about the fans. When I have Gwyneth Paltrow on my show, I’ll interview her first, then go into the audience and let them ask her questions. I envision it as a place where Pop Culture and fans can come together.

KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?
RM: Omigosh! What are you wearing.

KW: Okay, what are you wearing?
RM: [LOL] Pajamas. I’m in a hotel room in Chicago.

KW: The Tasha Smith question: Are you ever afraid?
RM: I’ve never thought about it, but no. In my experience, I always just leapt, and felt, “What happens, happens. I’ll be fine.” I do see fear in a lot of friends and in people who email me or tweet me. I don’t think fear ever really factors in with successful people. They just take the leap. I might feel fear over things I couldn’t control, like health, or in the middle of a disaster.

KW: The Columbus Short question: Are you happy?
RM: Yes, very happy.

KW: The Teri Emerson question: When was the last time you had a good laugh?
RM: I’m traveling with my partner of five years, Salvador, and we laugh constantly. We shared a good laugh in the elevator last night after I did an impression of someone.

KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure?
RM: Happy hour and an early bedtime.

KW: The bookworm Troy Johnson question: What was the last book you read?
RM: “Then Again” by Diane Keaton . It was really good.

KW: The music maven Heather Covington question: What was the last song you listened to?
RM: “Whistle” by Flo Rida. It’s the ringtone on my cell phone.

KW: What is your favorite dish to cook?
RM: Nana’s Potatoes.

KW: Oh, yeah, the dish you cook every Thanksgiving with Corn Flakes on top. You share the recipe for it in the book.
RM: It sounds so trashy, but it’s my “go to” dish. It’s soooooo good!

KW: The Kerry Washington question: If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
RM: I’m obsessed with her show “Scandal.” I would be one of my dogs. They eat better than I eat... they have more clothes than I have… and go to the doctor more than I do.

KW: The Sanaa Lathan question: What excites you?
RM: Achievement… Success... Crossing something off my life wish list.

KW: The Uduak Oduok question: Who is your favorite clothes designer?
RM: Here’s the thing. People think I’m a super-fashionista because I do E! and tell it like it is when I’m on the red carpet. But in real life, I’m content wearing slip-on shoes and a zip-up hoodie or a windbreaker. And I love a bargain.

KW: The Mike Pittman question: What was your best career decision?
RM: To just be myself the first time Jay Leno asked me to go out and cover an event. To take that risk and do it my way, a way no one had ever done it before.

KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
RM: A double chin.

KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
RM: Selfishly, to have my dad back. But, if it weren’t just for me, I’d like to eliminate poverty.

KW: The Jamie Foxx question: If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do? Would you do the bad stuff, you never got a chance to do, or would you do good stuff to make sure you make it into heaven?
RM: I would go wherever mom was with my dogs and Salvador. And I would eat as much pizza as I could while watching Steel Magnolias. Pizza’s my favorite thing. But I rarely eat it, because I always feel horribly guilty afterwards.

KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory?
RM: Playing in the fields behind my house with my brother at about 4 or 5. I also remember being tricked by my brother one New Year’s Eve, when my dad brought home a stuffed animal for us to share. My brother offered to let me play with it “until next year.” Then he took it back the very next day, saying, “Okay, it’s a new year, so now it’s mine.”

KW: The Anthony Mackie question: Is there something that you promised to do if you became famous, that you still haven’t done yet?
RM: I promised myself that I’d host an award show. I haven’t done that yet.

KW: The Melissa Harris-Perry question: How did your first big heartbreak impact who you are as a person?
RM: My first big heartbreak was right after college. It really hurt and toughened me up so that everything after that seemed more doable. So, it sort of gave me some calluses on my heart.

KW: The Viola Davis question: What’s the difference between who you are at home as opposed to the person you pretend to be on the red carpet?
RM: Funny! For me it’s all the same. It’s different for actors and actresses, because they have to have a certain air of glamour about them. My whole thing is that I’m a liaison for the fans, and if I pretended to be someone different, it would never work.

KW: The Anthony Anderson question: If you could have a superpower, which one would you choose?
RM: A reverse-calorie superpower that would enable me to make fattening foods healthy.

KW: The Judyth Piazza question: What key quality do you believe all successful people share?
RM: If you’re going to be successful, you’re going to be successful. Successful people don’t let anything get in their way. A square peg fits perfectly into a round hole for them.

KW: The Gabby Douglas question: If you had to choose another profession, what would that be?
RM: Hairstyling.

KW: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
RM: Anyone who wants to follow in my footsteps should consider looking somewhere else, because my story was so unique. Most people who come to Hollywood get headshots, find an agent and go to auditions. Being an intern and getting plucked like I was is so rare. It doesn’t really happen.

KW: The Tavis Smiley question: How do you want to be remembered?
RM: As someone who put something good out. That’s the whole reason I worked so hard on this book, and fought so hard to do it the way I did it. I wanted to plant a seed of positivity. When I was a kid, I didn’t know what it meant to be a successful, grown-up gay person, because I didn’t see it. The role models weren’t on TV for me back then. So, I would hope that I am sort of setting an example, and not just for gays. My message is a universal one of self-acceptance. Whatever you are, you need to love it

KW: Thanks again for the time, Ross, and best of luck with the book, the talk show and everything else.
RM: Thank you so much, Kam, for the fun interview.

Fire in the sky | Chippewa Twp Park

As I was driving home on route 51 in Chippewa, I kept watching the sky.  One minute it was pure white and snow was blowing creating a minimal visibility white-out and the next minute, the sky was as bright as a summer evening.  After arriving home I kept watching the sky change colors and told my wife, I will be back soon, I need to get an image of this sunset.  “What sunset? Its a whiteout!” Grabbing my camera bag, I was off and my goal was to head to Monaca and catch the sunset over the Ohio River but I didn’t believe I would make it before the sky changed again. Therefore, I went to a nearby park in Chippewa Twp, only minutes from my home.

Grabbing my tripod and bag I was off to the edge of the pond and was not disappointed with how the sky kept getting deeper with color.  I am not sure if it was a combination of the snow swirling in the sky or something else but it was beautiful.  I decided to use the widest lens I have which is a 7 – 14 mm f/4 (Panasonic) and welcomed the strong reflections on the water without the use of any filters.

Fire in the sky | Sunset over water in Chippewa Twp

Knowing that I didn’t have much time, I quickly set up my tripod, leveled the camera, exposed the scene, and was blown away with what the Lord provided me in the sky and painted on the water.

If you know me, you will often hear me say that we don’t need to travel far to find beauty in our neighborhood. There are an unbelievable number of places to photograph in Beaver County to show off the beauty and wonder that we were given.

Photography humor: Ever since switching to digital, I find there are only positives and no negatives.

How does aperture impact my image?

In this short video, I show a few examples how changing the aperture / f-stop impacts the look of your image.

My goal is to get you off of auto and in manual mode.

Additionally, my intent is to show you that each of the images shown in the video are exposed properly but a properly exposed image does not mean it is the image you intended to photograph.

January Beauty in Beaver County

Winter Beauty in Beaver County

There is no doubt that some will not believe I created this image on January 21, 2017 in Beaver County. It was a Saturday morning and I knew the mixture of the Sun and fog would create something that was pleasing to the eyes. This pond is minutes from my home in Chippewa Twp and one of the many treasures found in this area of the county.

The sun was peaking through the trees bathing the water and evergreens with an amazing color and the reflections on the water made it look almost as if it were a painting. I couldn’t pass up not capturing its beauty for others to enjoy.

I have traveled to many of the states of this beautiful nation and to other wonderful countries but there is nothing like visiting the areas around my home in Beaver County, PA.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalm 1:3

Sunrise | Wrightsville Beach

Sounds of birds chirping woke me from a deep sleep after more than ten hours on the road a few hours earlier.  The journey to North Carolina from Pennsylvania was eventless and the traffic minimal for a Sunday before a holiday.  Even though birds were chirping, it was very dark outside.  Why?  The sound of birds was my alarm sound and not the sound of the ‘real’ birds welcoming a sunrise.  Looking at my phone where the bird sounds originated, I noticed the temperature outside was slightly above 32 degrees.  Didn’t the weather folks know this was a beach town in the south and this temperature is reserved for the north?  Rubbing sleep from my eyes, I got ready for a cold sunrise on the beach thinking, all of this for a photo?  Yes, it was a cloudless night and the sun was predicted to rise three hours from now in all of its majestic glory and warmth (:D).

The car was covered with drops of ice and the thought of running back into the hotel and under the warmth of a blanket raced through my head.  Maybe I should enter a rehab program for photographers that are crazy?  The car warmed up and the heated seats were a welcome to a chilled body making the short ride to the beach easier.

Navigating my way toward Wrightsville Beach provided a new display of lighted decorations.  Maritime figures such as mermaids, dolphins, and more were on many of the light poles providing a holiday look to the town.  Few people were on the streets this early on a brisk morning.  I drove by a few runners dressed in warm running outfits who might need a rehab program similar to the one I need for crazy folks who go out in the early morning on a cold November day.

Finding a parking spot near Johnnie Mercer’s Pier was easy with quick access to the beach.  There were a few walkers and workers cleaning up the area for the day’s activities.

“If you want to be reminded of the love of the Lord, just watch the sunrise.”
Jeannette Walls, Half Broke Horses

Before the Sun rose, the sky was filled with great color!

As anticipated, the early morning sky was filled with bright stars and a beautiful sky.  I walked along the beach near Johnnie Mercer’s Pier and found a few spots that would provide a great sunrise image.  Huddled near the tripod and camera, I waited until the sky started to change colors and I was not disappointed.  Experimenting with a few different settings on the camera with the intent to ‘freeze’ the water and create a glow in the sky.

Two plus hours passed from the time I arrived at the beach and a faint orange glow peaked the horizon providing a slight mist and fog like effect over the water.  I could hear real birds in the distance but most remained huddled around each other staying warm.

A lady gathering sea shells walked the beach dress similar to me in a few layers of clothes and warm gloves while a few others ran to the beach, grabbed a quick sunrise image and immediately jogged to their respective cars to escape the cold morning air.

Keep tight to stay warm!

The time spent was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise that is fully appreciated after the anticipation.  The sun seems to creep up to the horizon then in all of its glory, rises providing light and heat.

Was it worth the time spent?  Yes!  A loud YES!  – visiting the beach for a sunrise or sunset is always worth the time spent listening to the sounds of the ocean, the birds, and the feel of life coming from the rising sun! To me, it is like the Lord saying to all of life – “Good morning!”  I have provided another day for you to enjoy!

All of the images were taken with the Panasonic Lumix GX8 and the Panasonic Lumix G 12-35 f/2.8 lens.  This set-up is my new favorite for lightweight travel and urban street photography.

Celebrating life in the city on a ducky tour.

“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” Michael J. Fox

We celebrated my wife’s birthday with our two eldest grandchildren, one of our brother in-laws, and my sister at multiple restaurants, a ducky tour of Pittsburgh, plus a ride up the incline.  After purchasing the ducky tickets, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch.  I am always hesitant for different restaurants since I am a “health nut” and often find it challenging for healthy alternative lunches.  However, the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh did an amazing job.  I asked for a ‘special’ salad, describing what I wanted and they delivered to the letter.  Now to my main point, if you buy tickets for DUCKY and decide to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe, look at the tickets.  They include a 15% off coupon for the Hard Rock Cafe and no I didn’t notice the coupon until we were getting ready to board the DUCKY. 🙁

We rode the white bus and were ‘entertained’ by a fun tour guy with a serious amount of hair (which I don’t have).  The weather was near perfect with slightly overcast skies and temperatures in the high 60’s to low 70.

DUCKY that we rode

DUCKY that we rode

The tour starts in Station Square and crosses the Smithfield Street Bridge into the city making its way to the North Side via the Roberto Clemente Bridge. Passing by his statue and PNC park, the DUCKY heads toward the access way of the river past the war memorials (which are amazing and are a visit in of their own). Entering into the river is fun and exciting as the kids cheer with the tour guide and captain of the ship.

The water motor kicks on and off we go into the Three Rivers of Pittsburgh.

Passing by another DUCKY

We drove a short time on the water then the captain asked if any children wanted to drive the boat. One little boy raised his hand (so did I) and he had the opportunity to drive. Then the captain asked if anyone else wanted to drive and no other children wanted to drive. I kept asking 😀 – they then stated okay and I had the opportunity for a front and center view of the city and was able to get some amazing images.

After floating along the water, we traveled past the war memorials and into the North Side of Pittsburgh. Since my grandkids never rode an incline nor traveled to Mt Washington to view the city from the overlook, I felt it was a must do! 😀

Colorful flower pedals

I am a fan of colorful flowers as they ‘dry-up’. It appears their color changes and it seems as if the textures and ‘skin’ become translucent similar to what happens as we age. Maybe it is my hope that we get ‘better’ with age and add value to the world with each year. Regardless why, I find it fascinating to photograph flowers, leaves, and other parts of nature as they say goodbye.
The flower pedals were placed on a back-lit drawing table and photographed with enough back lighting to cause the beautiful veins of the leaves to show off.

Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines believe as:

To expect or hope with confidence; to trust. To have a firm persuasion of any thing. In some cases, to have full persuasion, approaching to certainty;

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Matthew 21:22 . . ., whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Ps.27.

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Bridge over waterfall | Seven Springs

Bridge over waterfall

Bridge over waterfall

I am not sure why but I love photographing bridges over water falls. Maybe it is a throw back to when I was in high school and a popular song was “Bridge over Troubled Water” Simon And Garfunkel

Oh, if you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

I was in Seven Springs photographing the PA TSA (scholastic) event and came upon this familiar bridge and enjoyed how the water looked as it flowed under the bridge and couldn’t pass up sharing it with everyone.  Enjoy my rendition of a black and white Bridge over a waterfall.

Long Exposure Photography

Springfield, Ohio

While approaching the hotel I was staying at for the night, I noticed a beautiful old building with the sky turning deep blue.  As the master light painter added a few different colors to the paint brush, the light started to set behind the building and the blues deepened.  Judging from the angle of the sun, I realized I had 20-30 minutes to check in and return to the parking lot for a beautiful image of this grand building.

The parking lot and street in front of the hotel had minimal traffic and the small park in front of the building a few people sat talking while a table to my left a man working on his laptop.   The air was warm providing a welcome relief after a long harsh winter.

Before setting up my tripod I looked for a good position to frame the building with the lamp posts. Hoping they would turn on as the sun set.  My plan was to frame the building and using a long exposure capture the star bursts coming from the lamp posts.  They didn’t disappoint.  As I positioned my tripod, all of the lampposts turned on and not one was burned out.  (Unlike some people I know.)

I set the camera on the tripod in a vertical position and focused mid-range into the building for maximum depth of field.  In post, I utilized a square crop to eliminate the area directly in front of me.  Since I was using a long exposure (20 seconds), the cars that traveled in front of me disappeared as ghosts in the image.

After taking a few images from this vantage point, I packed up and walked into the town looking for other interesting buildings.  However, following a trick I learned years ago, I turned around and noticed the sky and lights on the building from a different vantage point and couldn’t pass up trying a different look. In the second image, the exposure is 30 seconds pulling in even more of the star burst and turning the sky deep blue.  Very little post processing was done in the color images and in the black and white, contrast and clarity was adjusted bringing out some of the mid-range.

Pittsburgh Skyline | Sunrise over Pittsburgh

By chance or planning | Be ready for a great image | Pittsburgh Skyline

One of the best things about living in a city with mountains is the ability to get above the city skyline for either a sunset or sunrise. Since the sun rises ‘behind’ Pittsburgh when viewing it from Mount Washington, a backlit image of the city presents a tremendous image.

A few years ago, I had a client who wanted a sunrise image. Therefore, I suggested we do the session from Mt. Washington. It gives us a great view of the city and bordering rivers with a platform (overlook).

On the day of the scheduled session, I looked out the window and was greeted with fog so thick, I could barely see 20 feet in front of me.

 The Pittsburgh Skyline is tremendous from Mt. Washington

I loaded my gear and headed toward the city. On the way, I received a call from the client asking if we should cancel. I suggested that we continue as planned. When I arrived to Mt. Washington, I was greeted with an amazing view and look. Immediately, I set-up my tripod and camera attempting to capture a quickly fading look (the sun was melting away the fog) that bathed the city in a glow I never imagined.

Regardless how many times I photograph Pittsburgh, I never seem to grow tired of it but this image will always remain as one of my favorites. Why? Because it almost didn’t happen. If I would have canceled due to the fog, I never would have seen nor could I imagine this look. (Yes, the birds were flying by – they were not added later.)

 Portrait Session & the Pittsburgh Skyline

How did the portrait session go? Great! The client arrived ‘late’ but it gave me time to not only get this image but a few others that I enjoy. We still had time to get some tremendous sunrise image with the client and city for a very successful day.

If you enjoy this image, consider decorating your home with it or sending a friend a card. This image is available in a variety of formats from the link below.

Valentine Poem

While walking among the rose bushes this beautiful Valentine’s day, I found this perfect rose with a light sprinkling of dew on the edges. The sun was perfect casting a beautiful warm glow. With not even a slight breeze to cause the flower to move. (okay – truth be told – I am thankful for flower shops who sell perfect roses – from Posies by Patti, Ellwood City

Valentine Poem

Roses are Red

Roses are Red – Violets are Blue – Agave is Sweet – ILUVU2

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Agave is sweet

& I luvU2

I searched way too long for great roses are red or Valentine poems. I then altered my search for love poems and more and found a few great poems about love and Valentine’s day

I asked God

I asked God for a flower, he gave me a bouquet

I asked God for a minute, he gave me a day

I asked God for true love, he gave me that too

I asked for an angel and he gave me you.

Some goofy

Roses are red, but there are also pink, white and yellow varieties. Violets aren’t blue, they’re violet, hence the name. I’ve got OCD. And my poetry skills are also lacking.

Some nice

  •  Rose are red, violets are blue Love never crossed my mind until the day that I met you
  •  Roses are red. Violets are blue. Angels in heaven Remind me of you!
  •  Roses are Red, Violets are Blue I feel so lost, unless I’m with you!

RAILA ODINGA’s confidante among LUHYAs has stolen Sh 2 billion and yet he is silent

... approached me for advice over the delayed payments and I will be enjoining them in their plans to sue the County government,” Chanzu said.

“If Akaranga cannot pay the contractors for tenders awarded two years ago, where he will get the money he is promising to pay them yet the County is set to receive Sh4.5 billion this financial year?" he asked.

The MP asked the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission to visit Akaranga’s offices and see how public money has been looted.

Akaranga is a close friend of Raila Odinga.

Last weekend he attended an ODM rally in Kisumu.

Girl Scouts Learn From, Inspire Artist

Girl Scouts Learn From, Inspire Artist

A local artist has teamed up with a Girl Scout troop to give the girls a way to raise money while sharing his passion for expression.

The 10-year-olds from Troop 42579 recently visited Hot Shops Art Center in North Downtown Omaha. The moment they stepped through the doors, they transformed into artists themselves.

This is the coolest thing we've probably done, described Bethany Szczepaniak, who spent the morning with her fellow girl scouts brainstorming and searching for inspiration.

Inspiration can come from the most basic things in living, explained Therman Statom, an internationally accomplished glass artist. From moms, from dads, from flowers.

Statom lent his time, talents and experience to the troop to show them his art. After nearly forty years of glass blowing, Statom spent the morning passing on his passion, and learning from the girls.

I must admit, their ideas have been pretty good at influencing my own glass design, said Statom. I've found their ideas are fresher.

Many of those fresh ideas might not have been possible in a typical sixth grade classroom.

We don't even have art class, said Bethany.

The scouts blew through barriers and tackled real-life obstacles.

I've learned teamwork and commitment and just to keep trying your best, explained Bethany.

Statom challenged the girls to create beauty and sculpt their lives into anything imaginable.

That they can be anything and do anything, said Statom. They can be an artist, a painter, a sculptor, a scientist.

Art work, including the glasses the girls created, will be available for purchase in March. A yearly art-venture is scheduled for March 23. All proceeds go back to the Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska.

Marine Vet, 78, Still Waits For Retirement Pay

LG Harrison Says He Hasn't Received Any Pension

Marine Vet, 78, Still Waits For Retirement Pay
LG Harrison Says He Hasn't Received Any Pension

A Marine Corps veteran who retired 38 years ago is still fighting to get the retirement pay he said he has earned.

But the government can't seem to confirm 78-year-old LG Harrison's service, even though he said he has proper records.

In 1951, at the age of 20, Harrison enlisted in the Marines. He was assigned to military police duty. He worked in battleship prison during the Korean War.

After 20 years of service, he retired at the age of 40.

"I was told by the staff that I have all the time I need as a ready reserve and being on active duty to retire," Harrison said.

He was told he'd start collecting pension at the age of 65.

But 25 years later, when he turned 65, Harrison was told some of his records were lost and he needed to reapply.

The bureaucratic battle began, and, at 78, Harrison is still fighting it. He said he feels like a forgotten soldier.

The Veteran's Administration cant give Harrison an answer to why he hasn't received any retirement pay.

Out of frustration, Harrison called the KETV NewsWatch I-Team. After months of working with various veterans' organizations, the I-Team contacted Sen. Mike Johanns' military liaison.

This past week, Harrison took his case to the retired Gen. Roger Lempke.

KETV wasn't allowed to attend the meeting, but Harrison said someone in authority, for the first time, is taking an interest in his case.

All he wants is the pension he has earned.

"Whatever we got coming, just give us a very good thought, and be fair and be honest," Harrison said.

KETV will be checking with Johanns' office to monitor the issue's progress.

Harrison has been cautioned not to expect quick solutions.

The VA has provided Harrison with some medical services, and it's checking to see if he's eligible for more.

Report indicates major issues with rural Nebraska bridges

Report indicates major issues with rural Nebraska bridges

In late September, KETV brought a first-hand look at Nebraska legislature’s transportation and telecommunications committee touring county-owner bridges in rural Nebraska. What they discovered is that many of those bridges require repair.

Video: Report indicates major issues with rural Nebraska bridges

“Something has to happen to these bridges,” civil engineer Mark Mainelli said.

A July report from the research group TRIP states that Nebraska has the seventh-highest percentage of structurally deficient rural bridges in the U.S.

Nebraska State Sen. Annette Dubas, in a transportation committee report, estimates that it would cost several billion dollars to fix all of the state’s rural bridges, and the funding just isn’t there.

“I think one of the more obvious solutions is to reinstate county aid and maybe make that more specific for use for bridge infrastructure,” Dubas said.

She said the state needs to step in and provide aid or risk a blow to Nebraska’s economy.

“These bridges help us. These are our farm-to-market infrastructure, these help farmers and ranchers get their product to the markets,” Dubas said.

For the bridges, it’s not just wear and tear causing concern. Nebraska soil is responsible for great soybean and corn crops, but easily erodes and compromises the structure.

Most of the bridges mentioned in this report that have structural deficiencies were built in the early to mid-1900s. Many of the bridges are very structurally sound, but the problem is that even newer bridges have to worry about erosion over time.

And with farming equipment becoming larger and heavier, bridges can break. With a new state legislature taking over in January, Dubas hopes her colleagues get the message.

“I want our state officials to understand how serious this is,” Dubas said.

Slowing health costs requires answering 3 simple questions

If we ever slow health care cost inflation to a sustainable pace, it will be because we learn how to ask 3 simple questions when thinking about a medical treatment.

  • Does it improve quality of life for the patient?
  • Does it extend the patient’s life?
  • How much does it cost?

Asking the questions are of course much simpler than figuring out the answer, and far far simpler than deciding what to do with the answer.

The first step is not demonizing even the asking of the questions. This would represent a profound shift in our culture, and is needed. We need to grow up and learn how to talk about limits in medicine. Then we will have to learn how to give practical answers to these questions, and the answers will have to be knowable and usable at the bed side as doctors and nurses are caring for actual people–you, me, my parents, grand parents and kids.

Then we will have to decide what to do with the answers. None of this will be easy.

The good bad news is that there is a good deal of care that is non-productive, which I would define as care that does not improve quality of life or extend life. We should start there. I don’t know how much health care spending could be reduced by stopping care that didn’t improve quality of life or extend life, but this is the correct way to think about our attempts to slow health care cost inflation. We might have to get into the very hard business of deciding that some care that was productive but very expensive shouldn’t be done. But, we might not; we won’t know until we start asking these 3 questions.

Austin Frakt links to the comments of Rep. Issa (R-Ca), who is going to be the chair of the House Oversight Committee in January, who states his openness to using cost effectiveness research to make medical coverage decisions. Issa quite reasonably notes that we have got to learn how to ask questions about whether the use of expensive technology makes sense, and whether patients are getting the least aggressive care that will meet their needs. Austin praises these comments, but also notes that Issa’s use of ‘bureaucrats’ is not helpful in the same way that the use of rationing and ‘death panels’ has been unhelpful, as Issa himself notes.

Any physician who is named to a panel such as the Independent Payment Advisory Committee (IPAB) will immediately be labeled a bureaucrat by anyone opposed to the work of the IPAB. One practical solution is to name one of the Republican members of Congress who is a physician to the IPAB. Heck, make them the chair. Anything that moves us in the direction of beginning to ask these questions.

A Valentine’s Day Story: Success Academy Students Show Love To Military Man In Afghanistan

This Valentine’s Day is going to mean more than just sweets and kisses for students at the Success Academy, 330 Crown Street in Crown Heights.

Scholars in Ms. Allison Turck’s 4th Grade class are thanking Lieutenant Joseph Turck, Ms. Turck’s brother, for his service in the military through Valentine’s Day cards. The students have been writing to the active serviceman since the beginning of the school year and have formed an intimate bond.

The students in Ms. Turck’s class originally found out about Joseph through a special incentive after over-achieving in one of their lessons. The students got the opportunity to ask their teacher 20 questions about her life and quickly stumbled upon Joseph serving in Afghanistan. When they pressed for more answers regarding Joseph’s military duty, Allison offered her class the opportunity to write to her brother for his birthday, which was in October, with all of their questions.

“First I started talking about how he went to college and then they were like, ‘what does he do there?’ Then I had to explain that he was majoring in International Studies but was also training for the military and he did ROTC there [Syracuse University]. Things got into that and what he’s doing now, and the majority of the questions they ended up asking were about him,” said Ms. Turck.

A young Success Academy students shows off the letter sho wrote to a U.S. Military man stationed in Afghanistan.

After writing Lt. Turck, the students received their first letter back right before Thanksgiving that included a letter addressed to the entire class and a certificate with a flag enclosed. The certificate stated that the flag was flown in their honor during a mission, which caused some of the girls in the class to cry. Joseph also shared some words of advice to the students, many of who showed signs of future military service.

“Some of you told me you want to be in the Army when you grow up. The best soldiers are smart, healthy, and good teammates. Make sure you do well in school, stay active, and are nice to everyone around you,” were Lt. Turck’s words to the young scholars.

The 26-year-old First Lieutenant for the U.S. Army is a Chief Intelligence Officer, who specializes in military aviation and oversees black hawk helicopter missions. He is in his first active tour which started in early August and will see him home by this May. This is also Ms. Turck’s first year as lead teacher at Success Academy and hopes to continue having her students make a connection with active service military men and women.

“I think that even if my brother is overseas or not overseas, it is so important for our scholars to understand what it means to be a citizen of the United States and have a sense of pride for living in the United States. A lot of my children come from families that are immigrants, Crown Heights has a huge West Indies population, so a lot of the children’s families come from Jamaica or Trinidad. So they kind of know how living here in the United States is important and then they are learning what it means to be a good citizen, what you can do to help others, and they joy they get from little acts of kindness like this has a real effect on other people,” said Ms. Turck.

The letters were sent out last week and were filled with words of gratitude and love. One letter said, “Dear Joe, even though you don’t see your family you should know that we’re still your family-we love you. Another student’s letter highlighted the ability of the 26-year-old to sacrifice his life, “Thank you so much for everything — for risking your life and making our country safe — we kinds in the country are so thankful.”

Some of the students have even started to think of the military as a career opportunity.

“They are definitely fascinated by it [military service] and they see it as a career option for themselves. Especially because a lot of them didn’t know that you could go to college and be in the military at the same time. It definitely opens more doors,” said Ms. Turck.

The class is currently working on getting a flagpole in order to hang their honorary flag in the room to remind them of the duty Joseph Turck and so many other Americans have taken up to protect the rights of U.S. citizens.

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

Posted February 15th, 2017

With so many different psychotherapy, coaching and counselling techniques to choose from, it can be bewildering to understand what they all mean. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of several therapies offered by the team at Klearminds.

It’s a type of talking treatment that combines cognitive therapy (examining your beliefs, attitudes and thoughts) with behavioural therapy (examining your feelings and actions). By focusing on how the way you think about situations and experiences affects your feelings and behaviours, CBT can teach you coping skills to break the cycle.

Negative thinking patterns may have developed a long time ago and, if allowed to continue, may influence how you feel about yourself many years later. The continuous cycle can look like this:

Diagram from www.mind.org.uk. Click here to read more.

Working with an experienced CBT therapist can help you identify and address your particular negative thinking patterns so that they cease to dictate your behaviour in the future. CBT can be a very effective treatment to help with a wide range of mental health issues including:

  • Depression and Anxiety
  • Phobias and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Anger Problems
  • Drug/Alcohol Dependencies
  • Eating Disorders
  • Sexual/Relationship Difficulties
  • ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Sleep Problems
  • Schizophrenia and Personality Disorders

CBT is typically a short term treatment of, say, 12 weekly sessions that can take place one-to-one, in a group setting or online. Within the setting of a supportive, non-judgmental relationship between yourself and the therapist, you may feel comfortable to open up to talk about difficult personal issues. As your therapy progresses, CBT will teach you new and more successful ways of coping with different situations, feelings, thoughts and behaviours that put you on a much healthier path.

Cable Me Not Socks

Sizes Included: Average women
Yarn Lines: Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn
Yardage: 462
Needles/Hooks Suggested: Size 3 (3.25mm): DPNs
Fiber Type: Wool & Blends
Weight: Fingering
I love cables, but honestly, cables and super tiny sock needles scare me! To me, there is something very intimidating about cable knitting. Add in four tiny sock needles and you have a potential disaster on your hands! I designed this pattern with the idea that even novice knitters, (or those scared of cabling on socks), should be able to enjoy the look of a cabled sock. It?s a simple design, with no cable needles required! Plus, because there is no actual cabling, the sock itself is quite stretchy. The back is a basic waffle design, to add a little texture and visual contrast.

This pattern is written out.

Books Unlatched

Overall Usage

  • Deeply impressed with the simplicity and elegance of the original concept, with the daring scope of the project, bringing together libraries, publishers and other organisations from around the world, and with the highly successful outcome of the pilot phase that tested the concept.
    The jury of the IFLA/Brill Award for Open Access
  • From the point of view of a participating university, Knowledge Unlatched offers the prospect of arresting the downward spiral in monograph publishing in the humanities and social sciences, providing Open Access to Humanities monograph titles, and a new model in collaboration between research institutions and publishers. It acknowledges the special problems in these disciplines, which have seen a real and challenging decline in the opportunities for scholars to be recognised through the publishing of their research, through no fault or deficiency of their own, but rather a market tension which the existing business model shows no prospect of resolving. A new business model is needed. KU offers this and it will be an exciting development in which to participate.
    Professor Tom Cochrane
    Queensland University of Technology
  • Knowledge Unlatched represents an important effort to relieve the pressure on library budgets while at the same time benefiting publishers and promoting open access. An impossible task? Not at all. Knowledge Unlatched has a sound business plan and a pragmatic strategy for success. If, as I hope, it succeeds, it will change the world of learning.’

Anti-gay controversy flares up over Constitution revision plan

NewMedia Festival opens in Seoul

kh close

Published : 2014-08-11 21:01
Updated : 2014-08-11 21:01

An international art festival promoting alternative and independent films and artwork kicked off in Seoul last Thursday.

Seoul International NewMedia Festival, a fringe festival in its 14th year, opened under the theme “Ethnography Now” in various locations throughout Seoul, including the Korean Film Archive, Sanwoolim Theater and Seoul Art Space Seogyo. The festival runs from Aug. 7-15.

A total of 140 experimental films and artworks in seven categories will be presented during the festival.
An official poster for the 14th Seoul International NewMedia Festival (NeMaf 2014)

The opening movie was “Reiteration of Dissent” directed by visual artist Jane Jin Kaisen, a Korean adoptee from Denmark. The film centers on the Jeju April 3 Massacre (also known as the Jeju Uprising) that took place on Jejudo Island, the director’s birthplace. From April 1948 through May 1949, the new South Korean government killed 14,000 to 30,000 people through fighting and executions.

In six video narratives Kaisen presents the unresolved trauma of the massacres, which manifests itself on the island in many ways such as through literary works, memoirs of survivors and victim’s families, and shamanic rituals of death and rebirth.

The main competition section “Glocal Propose” will screen 42 short and feature films from 17 countries, including “Peripeteia” by English director John Akomfrah, who is widely recognized for his innovative and independent media works.

    Hello dear support, i have two problems:

    1. i’ve missed a links to edit options for billing and shipping addresses in profile menu. when i use this buttons it’s ‘unknown page’. please check screenshot –

    2. i have broken tables everywhere. how can i fix it? check screenshots please –

    thanks a lot for the advice!!!

    Hi rudolfkrajewski,

    1) Make sure you have the correct page set for the Edit Address Page in the WooCommerce ‘Pages’ tab.

    2) Somehow your th css in minimal skin doesn’t have a left border attribute. Add the following to your custom.css and the tables should be back to normal.

    th {
    color: #fff;
    border-right: 1px solid #eee;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
    border-top: 1px solid #eee;
    background: #555;
    border-left: 1px solid #eee;

    1. question is solved! thanks a LOT!!!

    2. not solved… =(( let’s try something else.. Have you another suggestions?

    THANKS A LOT!!!!

    Hi rudolfkrajewski,

    If that didn’t effect your table issues, I’m not sure what will. Make sure you add that into your custom.css as I don’t actually see it in there right now.

    Dear Devin! I’ve added it to custom.css and clear a cash in safari. Now it’s all works well!

    THANKS A LOT!!!!

    You are professional!
