I buy ground beef and let it thaw and then make the patties
Dracula9 has it ON POINT for this thread.
Damn. It's as if your life was geared to prevent you from enjoying it. And I'm sure it's not fun either.
We don't take in stray animals.
Hot-water thawing can actually be dangerous, as the outer layers of the meat can become exposed to temperatures and moisture levels suited for bacterial growth.
... Aaaaand then you fry/cook the meat and all the bacteria dies anyway, so why should you care? (unless you cook it improperly and then you're basically eating it raw. Don't do that. You can get tainted meat with a lot of bacteria from the start and not even be aware of it.)Also, it takes a while for bacteria to grow. I think the Department of Agriculture just wants you to be extra careful.

Seizure Monitoring Center
Up to 30% of the patients diagnosed with seizures may not actually have seizures. They may have a condition that mimics seizures.
Video EEG monitoring is the "Gold Standard" test. It will help your provider determine a final diagnosis.
The Seizure Monitoring Center is located in our Beavercreek office at 2510 Commons Blvd.
How does it work?
- The patient will come to the DCND monitoring unit where an EEG will be performed recording brain activity. This could take up to a few days.
- Each room is equipped with a video camera that will capture the patient's episodes. The EEG wires attached to the head will also be recording data. All of the data is projected onto screens for a health professional to monitor 24/7.
- The information will help determine the location of the seizure/abnormality and best treatment option.
Is it comfortable?
- Yes! While patients are being monitored, they can relax in their own private room where they will have access to TV, internet & visitors. There is also a common living room area.
- Multiple health professionals are at the facility 24/7 so patients feel safe.
What's next?
Based on the results of your screening, a physician will meet with you to discuss next steps. Treatment options include:
- Medications
- Vagal Nerve Stimulator
- Epilepsy Surgery
- Ketogenic Diet
Additional detailed testing may be recommended in an inpatient setting.

To say that Bonnie & Clyde is the best musical to date composed by Frank Wildhorn, whose previous works include the cult hit Jekyll & Hyde and countless flops like Wonderland and Dracula, is still not saying very much and is barely a compliment.
Although Bonnie & Clyde is not a formal adaptation of the classic 1967 film of the same name, it too dramatizes the famous story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, the iconic criminal couple who gained fame during the Great Depression for their string of bank robberies.
This really had the potential to be an entertaining, action-packed musical. Yet in spite of a mostly pleasant country-and-blues score and strong, very sexy performances from the doll-face Laura Osnes (who gets to show off her abs) and heartthrob Jeremy Jordan, this remains a very problematic show that lacks focus and tends to pause and meander too often.
Bonnie and Clyde are depicted as young, innocent dreamers (she wants to be a movie star, he wants to be the next John Dillinger) who are scarred by poverty and an oppressive social climate. But by trying to justify their crimes, it simplifies the psychological elements that made the Arthur Penn film so gripping and reduces the characters to cardboard cutouts.
In one key difference from the film, Clyde is not depicted as impotent. Also, a straight-laced police officer (Louis Hobson) smitten for Bonnie is added as a dull character.
The show's opening is particularly bad. After Bonnie and Clyde are seen motionless and bloodied up after being killed at gunpoint, two kids proceed to play their younger selves until they are finally replaced by Osnes and Jordan.
Jeff Calhoun's intimate production, which projects images of the real-life Bonnie and Clyde in the background of the wooden-plank set, is handsome but takes the violence to a garish extreme: Blood is seen gushing out of victims and the gun shots are extraordinarily loud.
Nevertheless, Osnes and Jordan prove to be genuine stage stars. Jordan recently starred in the world premiere of Newsies, which will transfer to Broadway in the spring and is quickly becoming one of the hottest males in town. Osnes, who won the role of Sandy in the most recent Broadway revival of Grease, has since appeared in South Pacific and Anything Goes. Together, they convincingly depict a couple whose reckless passions caused their notorious crimes and inevitable fate.

A stable GPU drive is a necessary for high-performance, smoother, and more consistent gameplay. In this article, we explain how to stop Windows 10 Auto Update graphics driver.
By policy, all Windows Home users, the operating system automatic updates are mandatory. A portion of those necessary downloads and installs are driver updates for those who are on Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise editions. These updates are for the third-party hardware on computer systems. Such updates can be delayed at a different instance of time.
It is a plus point that OEMs and third-party hardware manufacturers are offering major part of their drivers via Windows Update in Windows 10. However, these drivers might not be the ideal choice for a few users in specific scenarios. The updates are indeed inevitable, but it creates issues whenever the universal drivers get automatically installed. It might substitute the enhanced performing drivers the user had manually installed on their OS.
It is possible to disable the download process of such universal drivers in Windows 10. With proper methodologies, it is not at all difficult to avoid this to occur. In Windows 10, the automatic update system is extremely convenient that offers maintenance and security patches along with updates for Microsoft products as well as device drivers for most non-technical users.
The drivers accessible via Windows Update typically work well, but they are not up to date all the time. Occasionally automatically getting driver updates may create problems on particular hardware configurations. To get complete details on how to stop Windows 10 from updating your graphics driver, go through the following sections:
Method-1: How to Stop Windows 10 Auto Update Graphics Driver
An individual can block Windows Update from updating a specific device, but the below steps will assist you to prevent updates for every version of the driver. By using this method, it is not required to re-execute every time a new driver version is released on Windows Update. Therefore, this method is practical and helps a lot to avoid Windows 10 from updating graphics drivers; take a look at the below steps:
- Step-1: Search for the device hardware ID-
In your Windows 10, in Device Manager, you need to right-click on the device and then choose Properties. Now in the Details tab, you have to set Property to Hardware Ids and subsequently copy the id being shown.
- Step-2: Driver installation-
In this step, disconnect the computer from the Internet, navigate to Device Manager, and uninstall the driver that was being installed by Windows. Now install the driver manually. Finally, reboot the system and make sure the driver stays as installed.
- Step-3: Block driver update for the particular device-
To block driver update for the device you use, follow below steps:
- Initially run gpedit.msc
- Follow below path:
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation > Device Installation Restrictions
- Now double-click on 'Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device IDs.' After that, set it to Enabled.
- You need to click on the Show button to open the dialog box named as 'Prevent installation of devices that match any of these Device IDs.'
- Now paste into Value the copied hardware-id for the device.
- Finally, click on OK until it gets finished.
- Reconnect your computer to the Internet and make sure you authenticate from time to time that the particular driver is unchanged.
Method-2: How to stop automatic driver updates on Windows 10:
Follow below steps to prevent the automatic driver updates on Windows 10 OS:
- Step-1: Tap on the Start button and then search for the system. Now tap on the Control Panel result.
- Step-2: In the System Properties, tap on 'Advanced system settings.'
- Step-3: Now tap on the Hardware tab and subsequently tap on Device Installation Settings.
- Step-4: Click on No, let me choose what to do to expand your other options.
- Step-5: After you tap on No, let me choose what to do, there will be three options to set.
It is known that Option #2 continues to download as well as install the best driver software from Windows Update. Moreover, Option #3 stops the automatic installation of driver software directly from Windows Update.
The Option #4 controls the capability for Windows Update to download hardware associated apps as well as other info from Windows Update.
Method-3: How to stop updates for drivers with the help of Group Policy:
Those users who are running Windows 10 Pro, the simple way to avoid the reception of the driver updates from Windows Update is by the use of the Local Group Policy Editor. For that, follow the below steps:
- Step-1: With the help of the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut, open the Run command.
- Step-2: Now you have to type the gpedit.msc and then hit OK to open the 'Local
Group Policy Editor'.
- Step-3: In the 'Computer Configuration,' open the 'Administrative Templates' and from there open 'Windows Components.' From Windows Components, you need to select 'Windows Update.'
- Step-4: Double-tap on the 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update policy' shown on the right side.
- Step-5: Choose the 'Enabled' option.
- Step-6: Finally click 'Apply' and then click OK.
Once all the above steps are successfully completed, your device would receive security and other patches; however, drivers will be expelled.
Method-4: How to stop drivers updates using the Windows Update using Registry:
There is no access to the Local Group Policy Editor in Windows 10, but you could remove driver updates by changing the Registry. It is essential to take into account that process of editing the registry is not entirely safe, and it may lead to harm to the installation if not done correctly. So, it is advisable to get a full backup of your PC before editing the registry. To change the registry, go through the below steps:
- Step-1: With the help of the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut, open the Run command.
- Step-2: Now in the run command, type regedit, and then click OK, so the Registry
will open.
- Step-3: Navigate the below path:
- Step-4: In this step, right-click on the Windows (folder) key and from there, choose New. Now you have to click on Key.
- Step-5: Entitle the key with the name 'WindowsUpdate' and hit Enter.
- Step-6: On the recently generated key, right-click, and choose New. Now click on 'DWORD (32-bit) Value'.
- Step-7: Give the name 'ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate' to the key and press Enter.
- Step-8: On the recently created DWORD, double-click and change the value to 1.
- Step-9: Finally click on, OK.
After accomplishing the above steps, the updates will keep on downloading, but there will be prevented in the reception of updates for drivers.
Method-5: Prevention of driver updates in Group Policy Editor
To implement this method, you need to make sure you first perform the first method discussed above. Once you have the right hardware IDs as discussed in method-1, you will now use the Group Policy Editor to make the modifications. It is essential to note that you will use a Windows Pro or Enterprise edition because the Windows Home edition is devoid of Group Policy Editor.
- Step-1: First of all, sign in using an administrative account and subsequently open the Group Policy Editor. You can open it by clicking on Start and then typing "gpedit.msc" and hit Enter.
- Step-2: You will see the 'Group Policy window' located in the left pane. From this window, select 'Computer Configuration' and from there choose 'Administrative Templates.' Now in the System, choose 'Device Installation' and from there, choose 'Device Installation Restrictions.' Now on the right side, you will see the 'Prevent installation of devices that match any of these devices IDs' item, so double-click on it.
- Step-3: There will be a policy window shown, from there, choose the 'Enabled' option and finally click on the 'Show' button.
- Step-4: Consequently, the 'Show Contents window' will be shown and from there, you need to add the hardware IDs for the device. Make sure you add one at a time. Therefore, copy each ID from the corresponding text file which was previously created by you and then paste it into the subsequent available line shown in the 'Value' column. After you have completed the process of adding the hardware IDs, hit OK. It is vital to note that if you are blocking updates for multiple devices, then you could continue adding hardware IDs for every device to this window.
- Step-5: Return to the policy page and then hit OK to implement the policy change; now you can come out of the Group Policy Editor.
In case you wish to verify the new settings then you can install an updated driver or wait for the Windows Update to work on own. Whenever there are any attempts to install a new driver, you will instantly receive an error message.
Because the device is still registered, you will perceive that the Windows Update might proceed for downloading the new driver updates for the particular device. It would not install them but will show an installation error within the Windows Update window. The same would not obstruct other updates being successfully installed. Also, you can hide the specific update if you do not observe it inside the Windows Update.
It may happen that now you need to enable updates to that device. In such cases, you can return to the Group Policy Editor and turn off the policy. One important thing to note is if you have disabled the policy, all hardware IDs added to the policy will get be deleted.
Now if you wish to enable the policy again, then you need to enter all the hardware IDs again. The aspect is essential to consider if you have hardware IDs for multiple devices being registered. In case you need to enable updates for a single device again, leave the policy on and eliminate particular hardware IDs. Henceforth, it is essential to save that text file.
The methods to disable updating of the graphics driver on Windows 10 assist the users in preventing the unnecessary update of such drivers. Every time it is not mandatory to block such updates because they are vital to let the hardware work properly. In some exceptional cases, when you require using custom drivers, these methods prove to be extremely beneficial.
We hope our guide was helpful in solving the problem you might have been facing. Your remarks or suggestions are welcome in the comments section down below. Thanks for visiting!

This particular greeting card template is very simple but sometimes I find less is more and quite often I see homemade cards that have far too many embellishments added to them. I know it is very difficult to sit back and say to, 'That's it, all finished!' and resist the huge to add a piece of ribbon here or a brad or two there, but sometimes you just have to keep your homemade cards simple to get the best results.
Fold an A4 sheet of card stock in half and cover it with two different pieces of scrapbook paper. Try and select a patterned and a plain piece. I used double sided tape to secure the papers in place.
A top tip when covering the front of a card in paper is to always place the patterned paper onto the front of the card and then cut around the edges of the card. More often than not, if you try to cut the paper to size then attach it you will struggle to place t in the exact position you need.
Because we are using two different papers there will be a join where they meet in the middle. Use a piece of ribbon across the join in the paper to hide any gaps or unsightly joins.
I have used a purple grosgrain ribbon as this matches the flowers on the paper I have used, however green or white would also work with this patterned paper.
Use a rubber stamp and stamp a dragonfly onto some Bazzill cardstock using a Stazon ink pad as this is a fast drying ink. Mount the Bazzill card onto purple card leaving a small ½ cm border around the image. You can then add a few crystals or jewels in the top right hand corner of the topper for some subtle decoration.
Place the embellishment you have just made onto the front of your card in the top right hand corner. Use 3d foam pads to raise it slightly from the front of the card.
Using a Sizzix Sidekick machine and the Happy Birthday die, cut the words happy birthday from a scrap piece of the purple card stock you used to mount your embellishment.
Place the happy birthday wishes onto the bottom panel of the card. I used a
glue pen as the birthday wording on as this made the least amount of mess and is far less fiddly than trying to cut double sided tape.
Even a complete beginner to card making will be able to make this happy birthday card but that doesn't mean this homemade card looks anything but elegant and professionally made.

One of the great advantages of "staying in the game" after government service is the opportunity to stay in touch with other veterans of border management; and to meet the next generation of border leaders, to share collective wisdom.
As far as I know, I am still the only person to have served as the Director of Ports of Entry in 2 different countries: in Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) and in the UK Immigration Service (UKIS). It is also unlikely that the UK Border Force will ever again appoint a Director General who has served as an officer on the border and risen through the ranks.
The complexities of immigration and border management over the past few years have led to unprecedented changes at both national and international level. Both CIC and UKIS have been abolished and transformed into the Canada and Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the UK Border Force (UKBF) respectively, in recognition of the need to integrate immigration and customs functions at the ports of entry. The UK Home Office has transformed its immigration and border structures more times in the past decade than in the previous century. There is a constant quest across the world to find the right structures and systems to cope with the ever-increasing demand placed upon borders. The desire for change – driven largely by technology but also by political pressure – has never been greater.
Whether it is the building of a wall between the US and Mexico; or the influx of the Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh; or the challenges of the migrant crisis in the EU, or the construction of the "post Brexit" border – our business is never very far from the front pages of the national press. This, in turn, has a direct impact upon governments, who feel under ever increasing pressure to react. This reaction – as we saw recently in the UK with the "Windrush scandal" – often leads to finger pointing at either Ministers or officials. There has to be someone to blame, doesn't there? All this media furore often overlooks the hugely complex nature of modern day border management; and the pressure placed upon those charged with the responsibility of delivering it.
I have been fortunate enough to spend a good deal of time with senior border leaders from around the world – both during my time in the UK Border Force (or the UK Border Agency, or the Border and Immigration Agency, or the UK Immigration Service depending upon the timeframe we are looking at); and since I became a global border security consultant. One thing that I have learned over many years – and continue to advocate today – is the need for collaboration in border management. That is not always easily achieved; particularly in a confrontational political environment where the opposition is desperately seeking areas to exploit and undermine.
Yet despite all the political fuss and noise, there is a reality check that is well understood by the experts in the field. There is no such thing as the "perfect border". And in seeking to build one, there are some fundamental principles to embrace along the way.
This all begins with a strategy. Too many times have I seen immigration and border agencies embark upon expensive transformation programmes, with little or no thought given to the strategic fit for the country concerned. Investment in technology is often seen as the answer; but as those acquainted with the UK e borders programme and the reasons for failure will know, technology alone is not the answer. Ultimately, the border management strategy starts and ends with the government of the day. It is very easy to criticise when things go wrong; but without a clear and united vision and direction set by government, then most projects are destined to fail.
Of course, government cannot do this alone. Even if they can achieve cross Departmental agreement on a strategy (a significant challenge in itself), they will need the help of the industry to deliver it. This means working in collaboration with the travel and trade organisations at both national and international level; and with the very best providers of technology. And – as students of stakeholder management will know – the best way to achieve this collaboration is by identifying a "higher common purpose".
For me, this principle was driven home during my work on the London 2012 Olympics. In that scenario, it was much easier to establish the higher common purpose. We all wanted a safe, secure, and successful Olympiad. That message was spread from the International Olympic Committee to all participating nations; by the London Organising Committee; and by those of us in the heart of government. The strategy was set early and reviewed thoroughly along the way. Relationships were built to last. Governance was constantly reviewed; with the key players agreeing from the start to stick with the Programme until the show was over. No jumping ship when the going got tough. We were in it together; we would stand or fall together. The result was a resounding success.
So why does it take an Olympiad to achieve this? After the Games, the team dispersed and went their own way. Government reverted to type; silos were rebuilt between departments, and relationships between the key parties became jaded due to other priorities and constraints. The strategy had been delivered, the higher common purpose achieved.
Therefore, I continue to advocate the need for collaboration in border management. There are many other examples where this has worked. I remember the excellent work that took place between Canada and the US in the post 9/11 period, where we worked tirelessly on the joint Border Accord. I remember similar work after the London Bombings of 7/7, where the police, immigration, and security services came together with a broad church of communities to develop and implement the CONTEST strategy. And there has been a number of international traveller initiatives, co-ordinated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO,) which has led to some common principles on data exchange and document management.
But there is a lot more to be done. We need to find a way to rekindle the higher common purpose of facilitation and control across borders; and encourage the relevant parties to come together behind it. Therefore, I am delighted to be chairing the International Border Management and Technologies Association (IBMATA) Summit in Croatia; and co-chairing the International Summit on Borders (ISOB) in Washington DC with my good friend Commissioner Rob Bonner, over the next few weeks.
Our collective wisdom is greater than the sum of any of the parts; and this spirit of collaboration – more than anything else – is the most important ingredient towards meeting the global challenges of modern day border management.

Michael Franti & Spearhead are set to tour throughout the summer in celebration of their critically acclaimed new album Stay Human Vol. II, out now on Thirty Tigers. The tour includes a number of headlining shows plus a run of co-headlining dates with Ziggy Marley as well as performances in support of Sublime with Rome.
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats—having previously sold-out the venue five times in the past three years—return to Denver's legendary Red Rocks Auditorium on August 21 and August 22 with very special support from Hiss Golden Messenger. General on-sale begins Friday, January 18 at 10:00 a.m. MST while VIP experience packages are now available to support Rateliff's foundation, The Marigold Project.
Twiddle & Pigeons Playing Ping Pong Share "Road To Red Rocks" Dates
Leading up to the exciting May 2nd, 2019 co-headlining Twiddle and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong date at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, both bands will partake in a five-date co-headlining series titled "Road To Red Rocks."
The five-date tour will begin on April 24th in Columbia, MO at The Blue Note, heading next to Urbana, IL for a show at The Canopy Club, followed by plays at Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI, Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, MN, with a final performance at Slowdown in Omaha, NE on April 28th before the big day at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO on May 2nd.

Letter Alleging Misappropriation at WikiLeaks
Posted: 7/10/2010 7:39:56 AM
By: David Marchant
The letter below can be found at http://cryptome.org/0001/wikileaks-open.htm
An Open Letter To: The Prime Minister of Iceland:
Mdm. Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir
150 Reykjavik
Tel. +354 545 8400
Fax: +354 562 4014
E-mail: email@example.com
Madam Prime Minister,
We are a group of WIKILEAKS activists who are very displeased about the manner in which our organisation is been run by Julian Assange. We have published our concerns on a website similar to, but older, and with a much more consistent track record than WIKILEAKS.
Our concerns are not about the philosophy of WIKILEAKS, or indeed Iceland's desire to become a depository of information available from diverse and sometimes restricted sources. On the contrary we applaud this initiative, and WIKILEAKS original philosophy and purpose.
What we are very concerned about is Julian Assange's misappropriation of WIKILEAKS donor funding order to finance personal international travel, and numerous personal expenses. We explain at http://www.cryptome.org how WIKILEAKS internal structure resembles a one man band, from editorial oversight, website development, and unaccounted financial expenditures and disbursements. We also explain how only Assange has direct access to WIKILEAKS bank accounts, and that there are is no accounting of outgoing disbursements. Assange dismisses out of hand the suggestion that we should appoint a firm of trusted accountants to audit our expenditures and provide some transparency as to how our organisation spends donor funds. Many respected NGO's operating in politically challenging situations manage to do this, without compromising the source of their funding, or placing their staff in danger.
We estimate (no visible accounting) that Assange misappropriated approximately $225,000 form April 2008 to April 2009 and that from 1 May 2010 to date approximately $52,000. These are disbursements with no receipts and with no audit trail. See: http://www.cryptome.org
Lack of a credible a due diligence review led to WIKILEAKS been passed over for the KNIGHT FOUNDATION AWARD of $537,000, even though WIKILEAKS had the majority of support from advisors to the award committee.
We feel that Assange's financial mismanagement of WIKILEAKS may one day seriously damage Iceland's credibility concerning providing an international data haven. We would suggest that Iceland continues to support such a bold and courageous initiative, however, to be cautious and very aware of WIKLEAKS potential exposure to financial mismanagement issues.
Best Regards
A Wikileaks Insider

Re. "... the way you describe Wikileaks [lack of transparency, no accountability], heck, you could be describing your website ..."
Mr. Neshanian, your capacity to post inane messages appears to know no bounds.
As disclosed at http://www.offshorealert.com/about_obnr.asp, OffshoreAlert is owned by KYC News, Inc., which is a Florida corporation formed in November, 1996 that is controlled and managed by me. This information can be verified at http://sunbiz.org/search.html, which is a free service operated by the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.
My full employment history can be read at http://www.linkedin.com/pub/david-marchant/6/a57/332.
That's pretty transparent.
Regarding accountability, I am accountable to the law, like any other business. I and/or my company have been sued seven times for libel, all of which we have successfully defended, spending more than half a million dollars in the process on our own legal fees and costs.
Given the above, your claim that we are not transparent or answerable to anyone is simply the latest evidence over several years that you have no meaningful comprehension of what words mean and little or no ability to process information sensibly.
The background to this is that, several years ago, I posted an innocuous message that your arch-enemy (Howard Fisher) was not a significant person in the offshore world (which he isn't) and that triggered you off on a life-time of stating the opposite of anything that I post here, regardless of what I post or how much sense it makes.
It is a symptom of mental illness and, as I've stated before, I cannot fathom how you are able to function as an attorney in California, where you operate Neshanian Law.
It comes as no surprise to me that, four-and-a-half years after creating the domain name, your law firm's web-site at http://www.neshanianlaw.com, like your mind, is devoid of useful content.

Whole thing seems like a snake-pit; I'd hate to have to choose a side.
Posted: 7/10/2010 7:52:53 AM
It is ironic that a web-site devoted to transparency and holding others accountable for their actions is itself cloaked in secrecy and apparently operated without accountability to anyone, not even internally.

Sounds like he is the perfect attorney that you would really want . . . . on the other side.
Posted: 7/11/2010 10:44:50 PM
If my memory serves me correctly, after a judge ruled against him in his mother's case, Neshanian accused the judge of bias and served subpoenas on the judge to testify. The subpoenas were later quashed.
That's how big an idiot he is.

By: HF
His website holds himself out being an appellate attorney, although it appears that the only appeals he has been involved with are those involving his mother, and those seem to be mostly -- if not all -- significant failures.
There is a reason that he is practicing in Irvine and not Beverly Hills!

What is striking is that, for all his whining about others allegedly not being transparent, even when, in reality, they are transparent, Eric Neshanian has no standards whatsoever regarding his own transparency and conduct, e.g. he routinely posts messages anonymously attacking Howard Fisher without disclosing that he has a vested interest.
The hypocrisy is staggering.

Court of Appeal, Fourth District, Division 2, California.
CONSERVATORSHIP OF the PERSON AND ESTATE OF Meyer FISHER.
Jerry Wengerd, as Conservator, etc., Petitioner and Respondent,
Claris Fisher, Objector and Appellant.
No. E040107.
(Super. Ct. No. RIP IP 13111).
Feb. 22, 2007.
APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Thomas H. Cahraman, Judge. Affirmed.
The Neshanian Law Firm and Eric M. Neshanian for Objector and Appellant.
Joe S. Rank, County Counsel, and Robert M. Pepper, Principal Deputy County Counsel, for Petitioner and Respondent.
1. Introduction FN1
FN1. All statutory references are to the Probate Code unless stated otherwise.
*1 Claris Fisher, the wife of conservatee, Meyer Fisher,FN2 appeals from a probate order settling the second account current filed by the Riverside County Public Guardian, acting as the successor permanent conservator for Meyer. (§§ 1300, subds.(b) and (f), and 1301, subds. (c) and (e).) Claris is being represented by her son, a lawyer, Eric Neshanian. Riverside County Counsel represents the public guardian. The main point of contention on appeal is whether the public guardian failed to list two notes for the sale of a business called Color Lab as the major asset of Meyer's estate.
FN2. For ease of reference, we use the first names of Claris and Meyer Fisher.
We deny Claris's request for judicial notice of items four through 14, composed of various newspaper and magazine articles. (Evid.Code, §§ 452, subd. (h), and 459; Vons Companies, Inc. v. Seabest Foods, Inc. (1996) 14 Cal.4th 434, 444, fn. 3.)
We hold the trial court did not err in denying Claris's motion for a directed verdict or in approving the second account current.
2. Factual and Procedural Background
The probate court first appointed a conservator for Meyer Fisher in 1992. The conservatorship has continued since that date. In 1997, Claris was appointed conservator of Meyer's estate and person. In August 2001, the public guardian was appointed as successor permanent conservator.
In October 2004, the public guardian filed the second account current and a petition for hearing. (§ 2620, subd. (a).) The public guardian reported that David Stanton, the obligee on the Color Lab notes, claimed he had overpaid and refused to make any more payments after June 2004.
Claris filed objections to the second account current. (§ 2622.) As to the Color Lab notes, Claris maintains the two notes were each for $272,500, a total of $545,000, and that each note should be paid monthly in the amount of $2,384.01 through 2015. Claris also asked the court to issue an order to show cause regarding Laura Dewey's legal representation of Meyers.FN3
FN3. Based on the record, we cannot tell if Laura Dewey continues to represent Meyer Fisher as she did in January 2001. (E026617.)
A major dispute exists regarding what, if any, balance is owing to Meyer on the Color Lab notes. Claris accuses the public guardian of not investigating and pursuing the Color Lab asset. She contends that, based on an amortization schedule prepared in 1995, the principal balance in July 2006 was $340,596.14. The public guardian claims it cannot obtain an accurate balance on the notes, that Stanton, the obligee, maintains the notes have been fully paid, and that Meyer's estate, the county, or the court lack funds to pursue investigation and litigation on the notes.
At a continued hearing in January 2005, the court, retired Judge Selim Franklin presiding, on its own motion ordered the appointment of a referee to investigate the assets of Meyer's estate, particularly the sale of Color Lab.
In February 2005, the court, the Honorable Stephen D. Cunnison presiding, set a review hearing to discuss payment of referee fees. At that hearing, on March 7, 2005, the court denied and struck the peremptory challenge filed by Claris. The court ruled there were no funds to pay a referee in the estate or available from the county or the court and struck Franklin's order appointing the referee.
*2 In December 2005, the court conducted the contested hearing on Claris's objections to the second account current. The court denied her oral motion for a directed verdict. Claris objected that the second account current omitted listing the Color Lab asset.
The deputy public guardian testified that the Color Lab asset was not included because neither Claris nor Stanton would provide information about the balance due on the notes and there was no money available to pursue the asset.
On December 22, 2005, the court made the order settling the second account current, which is the order from which Claris appeals.
3. Discussion
The thrust of Claris's argument is the probate court erred by placing the burden of proof on her to justify her objections rather than on the public guardian to justify its accounting, citing In re Guardianship of Cookingham (1955) 45 Cal.2d 367, 375, and In re Conservatorship of Hume (2006) 140 Cal.App.4th 1385, 1388 ( Hume II ). Additionally, Claris maintains the public guardian should be compelled to investigate the Color Lab asset and to include it in the second account current. ( Clark v. State Bar (1952) 39 Cal.2d 161, 173-174; In re Conservatorship of Estate of Hume (2006) 139 Cal.App.4th 393, 399 ( Hume I ).)
Our analysis begins with the premise that the judgment is presumed to be correct unless error is affirmatively shown. ( Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564; Hume II, supra, 140 Cal.App.4th at p. 1393.) As stated in Cookingham: "The burden is upon the [conservator] to justify the items in his account." ( Guardianship of Cookingham, supra, 45 Cal.2d at p. 375.) But the accounting is presumed to be correct. ( Neel v. Barnard (1944) 24 Cal.2d 406, 421.) The burden of proof then shifts to the objector to prove her objections. ( In re Ewing's Estate (1941) 42 Cal.App.2d 629, 631; Hume II, supra, 140 Cal.App.4th at p. 1388; Evid.Code, § 500.)
Because the second account current was presumed correct, there was no basis for the trial court to grant a directed verdict at the outset of the hearing before Claris had tried to prove her objections. ( Brassinga v. City of Mountain View (199 66 Cal.App.4th 195, 210; McMahon v. Albany Unified School Dist. (2002) 104 Cal.App.4th 1275, 1282.)
Furthermore, Claris did not successfully prove her objections. The second account current covered the period from June 6, 2002, through August 5, 2004. The accounting sought a court order approving six kinds of fees: current fees of $5,272.76; reserved fees of $775.75; periodic fees of $279; bond fees of $50; attorney's fees for county counsel of $600; and assessment fees of $250. The court's order ultimately approved all these items.
Claris filed objections to the current fees of $5,272.76; the periodic fees of $279; the attorney's fees of $600; and the assessment fees of $250. Claris also objected to the omission of the Color Lab asset. In addition, Claris raised a host of collateral objections about who received notice of the conservatorship proceedings; the issue of Laura Dewey's legal representation of Meyer; various orders made by Judge Cunnison over the years, including the order rescinding Franklin's order; and other tangential issues.
*3 We have reviewed Claris's objections and the evidentiary hearing on the second account current and conclude there was substantial evidence to allow a reasonable court to approve the accounting. ( Winograd v. American Broadcasting Co. (199 68 Cal.App.4th 624, 632.)
As to the various fees, Claris offers little argument on appeal about why they should not be approved. She also gives little attention to the collateral and tangential objections. We deem these objections waived by failure to support them with relevant argument and authority. ( People v. Stanley (1995) 10 Cal.4th 764, 793.)
In place of the other objections, Claris focuses on the Color Lab asset. We recognize that she contends several hundred thousand dollars may still be owed for the sale of Color Lab. But, other than to continue to make that bare assertion, Claris did not establish the indebtedness in the submissions to the court or at the evidentiary hearing. Instead, she persistently argued it was the public guardian's obligation to investigate the Color Lab asset and ascertain what, if any, balance is still outstanding.
Claris relies on Hume I, in which the court held a conservator has a duty to account "for all the conservatee's property, including out-of-state real property." ( Hume I, supra, 139 Cal.App.4th at p. 399.) But in Hume I, there was no question the real property existed and generated income. ( Id. at pp. 395-396.)
In the present case, there is significant doubt about whether the Color Lab obligation still exists. Two of the previous conservators, Enzo Provenza and Claris, failed to identify the asset accurately. In January 2002, Stanton asserted the balance owing was only $64,116. Later, Stanton claims to have paid it off fully in lump sum payments. Claris and Stanton have both failed or refused to verify payments made on the loan. Claris did not make any showing contradicting these proffered facts.
Under these circumstances, the probate court did not err in accepting the conservator's essentially unrefuted representation that the Color Lab obligation is either extinguished or, in the alternative, unknown and unknowable, and in making the implied finding the public guardian had no duty to investigate further. Substantial evidence supported the second account current. No evidence supported Claris's objections.

The film industry has always been an attractive destination for millions. Their dream of seeing themselves on the silver screen has motivated them to go great lengths to achieve their goal of becoming an actor or actress. Every year we see many fresh faces in cinema but not everyone is able to sustain themselves in the competitive atmosphere. While some are one film wonders, there are many who act in a few films and fade away.
Those aspiring to be fresh faces in cinemaalways face the dilemma whether they should join an acting school or workshop or learn on the job. The truth is that most directors on the sets are rushed for time, they have a whole lot of shots planned for a day. A fumbling actor can ruin the day and throw schedules out of gear. Once this happens, the actor can kiss his or her dreams good bye.
Joining an acting school or workshop exposes you to what things are like while shooting on a real set. You are taught how to pose for the camera, how to emote, getting the best angle and presenting t the best part of you. You will also be able to understand how factors like lighting and make-up work.
When you come onto the sets equipped with knowledge of acting, the way you be looked at will be different. Though you may be featured with other fresh faces in cinema, you can rest assured that you will stand out. This is what training can give you. Instead of looking like a raw hand, you will have the demeanour of an acting pro. This will help the industry take you seriously. Auditions will be a key part of your life if your aim is to make it to the list of fresh faces in cinema. Go well-prepared for them.
Not everyone is cut out to be a hero or heroine. There are many factors that count for a hero or heroine such as looks, grooming, luck, industry contacts, age, talent and so on. However, if you do not fit into this, don't fret. There are so many more opportunities to become one of the fresh faces in cinema and make a career of it. You can become an actor at any age, there are roles ranging from student, parents to grandparents that can be capitalised on.
All human crave novelty and this is especially true of the film-going crowd. No-one wants to watch the same stars over and over again. They want to see that breath of fresh air in the films they watch now and then. This is why there is a constant stream of fresh faces in cinemawho are in demand. They come without any pre-set image and this allows them to experiment a lot more than any of the well-established stars.

Zeus, a Dog Portrait
I finished this watercolor pet portrait last night. Zeus is a little fox terrier with loads of personality! He is often seen at soccer games with swarms of children around him. Zeus is used to drawing a crowd! I liked this pose and expression because it looks like Zeus is well aware of the stir he creates just by his mere presense and thinks that is as it should be!
Janee, I hope you enjoy your pet portrait!
If you are interested in a portrait of your pet, horse or loved one you can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or go to my web site at www.suesteiner to see my other work.

Wordsmith Dear Jane

I finished by using QAYG. Each blocks were quilted with my Babylock Sashiko machine.
Absolutely stunning! I love your color layout and the secondary diamond design created by those colors.
Thanks Linda!
Breathtaking! The simplicity of the colors used really emphasizes each block and that border is just wonderful – it looks like a forest of Christmas trees.
Thanks Darlene!
I can see the care you took in the placement of the blocks. The diamond shape of the darker value blocks shines through.
It reminds me of ice crystals on the egde due to the fact that you kept the alternate triangle the light background colour.
You have truely made this quilt your own. In keeping true to the original but having your own twist on it.
Love the colour, the play with value and the individuality of your quilt.
A very lovely heirloom to be handed down in your family.
Thank you for your sweet comments, Karry!
Your quilt is amazing. Blown away by your design and color. This is the most favorite DJ I have ever seen.

YULEE – Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and Hoods for Heroes will be celebrating a lifesaving equipment grant valued at $20,000 during a 10:30 a.m. dedication event on Friday, Aug. 23 at Nassau County Fire & Rescue Headquarters, located at 96160 Nassau Place, Yulee, FL, 32097.
"Hoods for Heroes is honored to be awarded this grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. This grant will go directly towards reducing deadly carcinogen exposures to over 200 firefighters throughout Florida," said Hoods for Heroes Co-Founder Jeff Rountree. "Partnering with the Foundation is a great opportunity to raise awareness and save lives. Our mission is to keep firefighters safe and this collaboration will allow us to do exactly that," added Co-Founder Bill Hamilton.
In addition to the delivery of 70 particulate barrier hoods to the Nassau County Fire Rescue, the event will celebrate a total of 217 hood deliveries from Hoods for Heroes to various departments thanks to the Foundation's grant award.
Receiving departments include:
Nassau County Fire Rescuewill be receiving 70 new hoods, bringing the total hoods donated to the department by Hoods for Heroes to 125.
Baker County Fire Departmentwill be receiving 40 hoods.
Immokalee Fire Control Districtwill be receiving 33 hoods.
Macclenny Fire Rescuewill be receiving 16 hoods.
Ocala Fire Rescue will be receiving 58 hoods.
Event attendees include representatives from Hoods for Heroes and Nassau County Fire Rescue, Nassau County Fire Chief Brady Rigdon, as well as Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Executive Director Robin Peters, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Events and Outreach Coordinator Nancy Palmer
,Director of Company Operations Steve Kaplan, and Vice President of Field Operations Meg Rose.
Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation was founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Firehouse Subs co-founders, Chris Sorensen and Robin Sorensen, traveled to Mississippi where they fed first responders and survivors. As they traveled back to Florida, they knew they could do more and Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation was bornwith the mission of providing funding, lifesaving equipment and educational opportunities to first responders and public safety organizations. Since inception, the non-profit organization has granted more than $44 million to hometown heroes in 49 states, Puerto Rico and Canada, including more than $7.1 million in Florida.
To raise money for the Foundation, Firehouse Subs restaurants participate in a number of fundraising efforts. Each restaurant recycles leftover, five-gallon pickle buckets and sells them to guests for $2. Donation canisters on register counters collect spare change, while the Round Up Program allows guests to "round up" their bill to the nearest dollar. Grant allocations are made possible thanks to the overwhelming support of Firehouse Subs restaurants and generous donors.

Delivering a 24/7/365 Activity
Gardening: the #1 hobby in the US and enjoyed by more people than almost any other undertaking. The challenge as the population ages is that physical limitations often cause seniors to stop doing their favorite activity. In fact, Eco Garden Systems created our raised bed garden for the exact reason – one of our family members had to give up gardening because she could no longer bend, stoop or crawl around in the garden. Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention and it certainly is true with our Original Garden.
We start with waist height construction (top lip is 39" off the ground – roughly the height of any kitchen countertop). This, combined with our sturdy construction (our Original Garden weighs 1,500 pounds when full – and provides a sturdy leaning post for those who need it) create a perfect platform for senior gardening. At 4' x 6' just about everyone can reach into the middle of the garden from any side – a feature that is critical for the people in your care. Surprisingly we see too many institutional gardens built with good intentions but not a well thought out plan on how your residents can work them. We have seen most turned into tree planters – because they were the wrong dimensions to allow folks to easily work the space while standing next to it.
So, there is clearly a need – but how does that need manifest for you (owner, activities director, facility manager, etc.)? Imagine your guests having one garden for every 20 beds – this allows several people to work the garden and provides a visual daily activity for the others. Now imagine the joy your team and guests will feel knowing they can safely work the garden every day of the year – providing hours of self-directed entertainment with wonderful outcomes – beautiful flowers or the freshest food available anywhere.
Providing a 24/7/365 activity
From our conversations with owners and managers of care facilities (senior or otherwise) the biggest challenge most facilities face is how to keep their guests active, busy, healthy and happy. Having one or more raised bed gardens can make this happen. There is so much more to gardening that just watching plants grow that your facility will soon be recognized as a place where everyone can engage in keeping the garden healthy and "different". You may be asking "how will this keep folks busy in the Winter months?". We have information on every stage of the gardening process:
- Planning – community debate will help craft the perfect plan for the gardens every year. From what staples to plant to new varieties to try to companion and succession planting, the planning phase will create a wonderful sense of community and allow your gardeners to experiment and work together towards shared outcomes.
- Review – lifelong learning is said to be a critical component of aging and memory function. Learning how to best maximize your new gardens, your guests will be constantly learning about how all of the elements of gardening come together to grow a garden's bounty.
- Ordering Seeds – there are as many free seed catalogs as there are leaves on the trees. With a little computer help (or computer use for your tech-savvy guests) each gardening team can study the available seeds, seed styles (heirloom, hybrid, Organic, etc.) and new varieties to tickle the taste buds. The anticipation, excitement, conversation and decision making will provide a wonderful experience for all of your guests.
- Planting – whether starting seeds indoors (this can be a six to 12-week process all on its own) or direct planting when the weather permits, this is an exciting time. An Eco Garden Systems' Original Garden allows your teams to maximize what gets planted – allowing for a much larger bounty than in traditional gardens.
- Companion and Succession Planting – these two pieces are part and parcel to any garden plan. Determining which products grow best together (and which varieties do not play nice) and what to do as certain products cycle through before the end of the year, there will always be more plans to make and discuss.
- Nurturing Plants – this is often the most fun part (at least from an outsider's perspective). Taking care of emerging plants, making sure nutrients are plentiful, creating compost from kitchen leftovers (did you know used coffee grounds are a great source of instant nutrients for plants – sort of like a chocolate chip cookie, quick energy as a snack during growing) and keeping your growing plants healthy and productive will yield a lot of daily fun and the most product from the garden(s).
- Harvest – now that your plants are producing, what do you do with the bounty? Can you use it in the kitchen? Can you partner with a local church or shelter to donate? Can you offer it to guests for a fresh snack? The opportunities are many – and the teamwork can continue here to help benefit everyone involved.
- Nest Year – like a resigned sports team fan (think Mets, Twins or other team that seems destined for post-season futility) there will also be "Next Year". The teams can review current performance, add things learned this year and recast the plan for next year – with sights set on another prolific growing season and bounty to share all around.
Is gardening a good activity for seniors or others in a facility?
There is a recent analysis done (2016) by three experts in the value of "nature" and "health outcomes". This trio review 76 different studies and compiled the results of all studies in terms of the benefits of gardening (the nature part) with overall well-being (the health outcomes part). What they discovered is nothing short of astonishing:
- The preponderance of evidence shows that daily gardening has an overall positive impact on health
- Mental well-being
- Physical activity
- Sense of purpose
- Sense of community/building communities
- Relief of stress and anxiety
- Physical health and well-being
- Additionally, there are long-term effects as well – a regular practice of gardening in seniors creates positive outcomes and these outcomes last for three plus months after the activity stops
- This correlates with the known impact of spending time outdoors and overall health
- There was a focus on seniors in all of the studies – and the impact on seniors was even more profound as the "sense of purpose" outcome led to all sorts of benefits including reduction in social isolation (and the negative outcomes associated with that) as well as improved memory function
For your facility, you can begin to create these positive outcomes for a relatively small investment in equipment (Eco Garden Systems' Original Gardens) and a bit of dedication to get folks started. What are you waiting for?
Gardening as an investment
While most senior centers are similar to other not-for-profit groups – being chronically short of funds and resource – the establishment of a set of raised bed gardens is not really a "cost" but rather an investment in the future of the facility. This investment not only provides benefits to today's guests but also provides a competitive advantage when families are seeking care solutions for their aging friends and relatives.
With a 20+ year lifespan, an Eco Garden will provide activities and outcomes for many years – take a look at the table below for an example.
- Size – 110 beds
- Occupancy – 90%
- # of Gardens – 5
- Average length of residence – 30 months
- Total cost of gardens – (4 x $1,795) + (1 x $295) = $7,475
- Annual cost for gardens: $7,475/20 = $373.75
- Average cost per resident: $7,475/800 = $9.34
For $9.34 per resident, this is one of the best investments you will ever make for providing continuous activities for everyone in your facility.
Safety: Is an Eco Garden safe for my guests?
Our raised bed garden is the perfect height for anyone with physical limitations. Additionally, our sturdy construction will provide a safe leaning space so the risk of falling is minimized. Plus, we have an easy "hack" that let's you establish a garden for guests in wheelchairs allowing them to garden again and reach just about everything from one of the sides.
We believe in making gardening easy and accessible for all seniors – and safety is one of the first things we look at when developing the garden, the cover and any of the other accessories on our drawing board!
The Eco Gardens Systems "Eco System"
What makes our product unique on the market? We have compiled an entire segment on this – check out the points of difference that make up our Eco System.
Finally, our product is proudly fabricated and assembled in the United States – in fact, our plant is located in a small town in Central Minnesota – creating sustainable jobs in manufacturing, order processing, supply chain and fulfillment.
If you own or work with a senior care center, we want to work with you to get our gardens working for you – to provide the best life-experience to your guests, peace of mind for their families and a community building activity for everyone.
Where can I download a brochure?

Last Sunday presented the first chance for us to see the new world champion, Michal Kwiatkowski (Omega Pharma-Quick-Step), ride in the rainbow jersey for the first time in competition, as he took to the start line at the final monument of the year, the Tour of Lombardy.
But the new jersey (which Kwiatkowski's tastefully combined with black shorts) wasn't all that world champion had on show, as the Pole turned up to the 254km classic with a newly custom painted Specialized S-Works Tarmac.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
Specialized have taken a different approach with the rainbow paint job, using the colours to create an abstract design that's more reminiscent of a Stone Roses album cover than the world champions' bikes we've seen in the last few years.
Dan Martin (Garmin-Sharp) took the victory in the season's final classic, while Kwiatkowski eventually finished 77th in the race, after suffering cramp in the last 10km.
We got a few pictures of his bike before the race began on Sunday.

In the past year or two, I have become disgusted with the quality of the television broadcasts that we are offered, and I have compensated for that by listening to podcasts broadcast over the Internet. I shouldn't think that there's anyone reading this blog who doesn't know what a podcast is but just in case, I'll explain that they are the Internet equivalent of radio (mostly) and television shows, mostly available for free.
It was expensive and hard to be a broadcaster in the bad old days but computers and the Internet have made it possible for just about anyone to record and broadcast a show. Podcasts cover all manner of subjects including photography (you were wondering when I was going to get to photography, weren't you?) and I regularly sit and listen to a one instead of being driven out of my mind by the television set.
From time to time, I will cover photography podcasts I enjoy in this blog and I thought I would kick off today with one that I find amusing and informative. This Week in Photography (TWIP) is hosted by a photographer Frederick Van Johnson and is broadcast about every week or so. Van Johnson is joined each time by a number of guests and they discuss all sorts of topics of interest to photographers, and answer questions sent in by listeners. Guests have so far included the very talented Icelandic photographer Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir (I can't pronounce it either 😉 ), American photographer Rick Sammon, and many others.
TWIP generally lasts for about an hour and a half and I find myself looking forward to it in much the same way that I looked forward to radio shows, back in the days when we still had a decent broadcaster. I mentioned before that TWIP is informative and what I especially like about it is the merriment that ensues when Van Johnson and guests get to discussing the topics of the day.
In one recent hilarious episode, they discussed whether cameras with face detection technology were racist. This is in the light of reports that some of them are unable to focus on black faces and some, designed not to take a picture while a subject is blinking, refused to take pictures of Asian persons, apparently under the belief that they were blinking all the time.
The TWIP podcast is available for free download from the iTunes Store. All you have to do is subscribe and the iTunes software will download the podcast whenever a new episode is broadcast. They can also be downloaded directly from Van Johnson's website, without the need for iTunes. Show notes including links to websites mentioned are published on the TWIP website.
Many photo podcasts are available on iTunes, which makes it easy to search for them. Give them try, you'll be glad you did!

We already know chicken karaage and ramen to be a fire combination. Making that portable with a chicken karaage ramen cone, however, is pushing the iconic pairing to the extreme bounds of deliciousness.
Catering company The Milky Way is putting together such a cone for Foodbeast's AYCE Asian food festival, NOODS NOODS NOODS presented by Original Cup Noodles on January 27th in Santa Ana, CA. You can find this particular noodle-laden item inside of the Marketplace area.
Now, fried chicken in a cone was already a pretty popular item on Instagram in 2017. For 2018, though, The Milky Way is pushing the bounds of that fad by making the actual cone out of ramen itself. The ramen "waffle cone" is crammed full of chicken karaage and even more noods. Kimchi adorns the top of this ramen-ception for a perfect finish.
The Milky Way's epic fusion of chicken karaage, ramen, and chicken cones, is sure to make a splash in the NOODS NOODS NOODS Marketplace. If you want a piece of the action on this item, be sure to snag some tickets to the Marketplace here. There's also two all-you-can-consume VIP sessions, if you're interested in maximum indulgence — which we're always advocates of.

EDINBURG — A colorful annual tradition in its fourth year was celebrated Friday evening at the City Hall courtyard.
The city of Edinburg in-conjunction with the Dustin Michael Sekula Memorial Library's arts division held "Los Muertos Bailan" celebrating Día De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead. It featured folkloric dance performances by the local high schools and Edinburg Parks and Recreation, food booths and the arts, such as face-painting and a sand mural on display.
Letty Leija, director of library and cultural arts, said the event is to celebrate those who have passed on.
"The Day of the Dead is a time that you can remember your loved ones and celebrate and think about their life and also celebrate life as you're enjoying it, as well," Lejia said. "This is a very good moment for the community, we celebrate culture, we celebrate heritage and we celebrate tradition."
Some of the other festivities included a catrin and catrina costume contest, an altar exhibition and featured local artisans.
Edinburg resident Julio Cortez attended the celebration with his family because some of his family members were participating in the parade while the rest of the family enjoyed a night out.
New this year, representives from Oaxaca, Mexico, shared their Day of the Dead culture with the city and took part in local celebration here. Oaxaca is also known for their yearly calenda, a street parade held there for Día De Los Muertos. This was the first year Edinburg incorporated a mini-parade, which traveled down McIntyre Street from 10th Avenue to 8th Avenue east of city hall, into the celebration.
Among the crowd, Jorge and Francis Garza, of Edinburg, were preparing to watch the parade with their children, nieces and nephews. They attended to experience something different and decided to stay for the festivities after the procession.
The group from Oaxaca also performed a dance number inside the auditorium as a way to share some of the traditions here. They performed La Guelaguetza, a combination of the pre-Hispanic celebration of Centeotl, the corn goddess, and the traditional Catholic feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Guelaguetza is an indigenous word meaning offering, which is symbolic of friendships.
