`Sidney White' squeaky clean
"Sidney White,†a pastiche of "Snow White†and "Revenge of the Nerds,†is easy-to-take kid- and teen-oriented fluff that floats on the affability of star Amanda Bynes.
Bynes plays the title character, a pretty, level-headed plumber's daughter who starts college with hopes of joining her late mother's sorority — then finds the members are all blonde snobs who kowtow to the whims of their narcissistic president, Rachel Witchburn (Sara Paxton, excellent as a witchy woman).
Jealous of former beau Tyler Prince's (Matt Long) attention to the pretty newcomer, Rachel boots Sidney out of the castle-like sorority house, forcing her to movie into the old eyesore that's home to seven socially challenged nerds (the film's also known as "Snow White and the Seven Dorksâ€).
A cute conceit that aspires to little more than amusing its young target audience, the film's an OK way to teach the importance of being yourself.
Extras: Squeaky-clean gag reel; making-of shorts where supporting-cast members describe the main stars as likable, witty and humble; deleted scenes.
Engrossing oldie
In the early 1800s, trapper John Colter survived being chased through the wilderness by Blackfoot Indians. His story served as the source material for 1957's "Run of the Arrow,†with Rod Steiger, and for 1966's "The Naked Prey.â€
Out in a restored, remastered edition by the Criterion Collection — the Rolls-Royce of restoration companies — the enthralling saga resets the story in mid-1800s Africa.
A safari guide played by Cornel Wilde, who also directs and produces, is captured by Zulus. After toying with his colleagues and bearers, they strip him naked, shoot an arrow, then start chasing him after he reaches the arrow.
A survival tale, an allegory, a political statement, a great chase film, "The Naked Prey†contains no real bad guys among the major players (except for a rich white hunter). The movie humanizes the Zulus as well as Wilde's nameless character in this kill-or-be-killed story.
The print's pristine; even the artistic opening credits stand out. Shot entirely in South Africa during apartheid, the anti-apartheid picture is very satisfying. The minimalist screenplay earned an Oscar nomination. With Ken Gampu, the first black South African film star.
Extras: A fine brew: the story of Colter's escape read by Paul Giamatti; cues that let you switch back and forth between the rich commentary by film scholar Stephen Prince and the soundtrack; a booklet with a 1970 Wilde interview and an auteurish essay by film critic Michael Atkinson.
Kidding around
The second half of "The Game Plan,†a predictable fish-out-of-water comedy starring East Bay native Dwayne "The Rock†Johnson as a self-absorbed pro quarterback, makes up for much of the dopiness that comes before.
Madison Pettis, the film's raison de watch, is button-cute as Peyton, a poised, playful 8-year-old who shows up at his swanky apartment claiming to be the daughter he never knew he had.
Ostensibly, her mother (his ex) is in Africa for several weeks, giving Peyton the chance to get to know her pop. Naturally, he's resistant — she interferes with his swinging lifestyle — and clueless about fathering.
That repetitive shtick and her charming his teammates take up most of the first half, during which parents may want to stick around to reassure their kids when The Rock goes ballistic and yells at the little girl.
The remainder of the film pours on kid-friendly, happily-ever-after sentimentality laced with some pretty good football sequences. Kyra Sedgwick costars as the player's cold agent.
Extras: A few amusing bloopers; ESPN interview with The Rock about learning to play QB; making-of short; ESPN's look at the fictional star; deleted scenes.
Bloody nasty
Saw the first "Sawâ€; sat through every gruesome moment. Didn't see "Saw II†or "IIIâ€; zero desire. Sat through the first 20 or so minutes of "Saw IV: Unrated Director's Cut†the other night.
It opens with an autopsy sequence that makes "CSI†look like Disney kiddie fare.
Next comes a scene with two guys, one with his eyes sewn, the other with his lips sewn, chained together and fighting to the death _ which might matter if we knew who they were.
Cut to cops examining the hanging, mutilated corpse of a female detective.
Evidently, there's a back story involving all of them and other detectives killed and tortured by the demented Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) — whose body is being autopsied at the start — but we aren't privy to it unless we've seen "Saw II†and/or "III.â€
No doubt "Saw IV†spews more gore, torture and Rube Goldberg-like killing contraptions.
The plot has something to do with a Jigsaw minion giving a cop 90 minutes to figure out something to save a life. It's all there on DVD if you want it.
Extras: Two commentaries; shorts on traps, props, music; a deleted scene; video diary.

I know it seems as if I have been "missing in action" this week. Well, I have been, somewhat. I am on Spring Break! YAY! We have been having a wonderful time in Atlanta, Georgia! Warm & sunny, up until today. Still, I'll take rain & warmer temps.
We had a successful road trip down. We packed all of our food so that we didn't have to eat on the road. Then at lunch time, we pulled into a McD's parking lot and had a picnic in the car (all the rest areas were closed along I-75 in the area for some reason).
We have eaten out a couple of times since being here, but are preparing most meals at home. We did our grocery shopping at Kroger & Wal-Mart. Kroger had a pretty impressive selection of gluten-free items. I even had the chance to speak with the manager of the store and thanked him. He said that he would love to make the area even larger when they remodel the store b/c the demand is so high. YAY! The Wal-Mart here didn't have close to the selection that mine does back home, but that is no biggie. I came prepared with my rubbermaid tote box full of GF specialty foods & frozen Pamela's bread made at home. 😉
We ate at Chili's Too on Tuesday. I had never seen a Chili's Too, I guess this is the scaled down mall version. They did have a GF menu. They seemed very helpful, however, I got glutened. 😦 Jon didn't, so that was a plus, especially since he was just coming off having the stomach flu the day before (there was no doubt that he had the flu, as Hannah, I and the little girl I watch all had some version of it). I was bummed that I was glutened. I won't eat at Chili's Too again, but may still try Chili's back h0me down the road.
Last night my sister, Mom and I ate at an amazing local place called Aqua Terra. I have lots of fun details & pics from this dinner, so I will post in a separate blog posting.
We are heading home on Saturday. I will be sad to leave, but happy to be back to our routine. I missed doing my menu planning this week and reading all the blogs. I have lots to catch up on!
See you all when I get back!

CONCORD — The New Hampshire Long Term Care Association recently held their annual dinner to award scholarships to people who work in long-term care who are seeking to better serve residents by furthering their education.
This year, 31 worthy individuals were awarded scholarships ranging from $650 to $5,000, totaling over $76,000. To be eligible for these scholarships, recipients must be employed by a skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility or other residential health care facility located in NH. The individuals chosen have demonstrated their commitment to long term care, their dedication to their career, and their desire to pursue a higher education.
Local winners of the scholarships include: Michelle Debutts, of Riverside Rest Home, in Dover, who is attending New Hampshire Technical Institute; and Gail Littlefield, of Rochester Manor, in Rochester, who is attending Great Bay Community College.
A special thank you to the sponsors of these scholarships and the awards dinner, especially Medline, Omnicare of New Hampshire, and McKesson – Medical Surgical.
"Encouraging these employees to further their education is a win-win for all involved," says Arthur O'Leary, President of the Long Term Care Foundation and Regional VP of Operations for Genesis Healthcare. "Employees gain knowledge and skills that they can use in their job and share with coworkers. Employees gain an increase in job satisfaction. Both of these enhance the experience of our residents and improve their satisfaction with their home and those who care for them."

|Tags: how to draw eagles
Description: No word of a lie I just read a comment that a member left and they suggested that I stick to drawing realistic stuff and cool tattoos. That made me laugh a bit because I do intend to keep doing what I do best, and that is submit some awesome designs that I conjure up all On my own. After uploading the panther, werewolf, lion, and the other cool tattoo art, I was asked multiple times to make a tutorial based on the same drawing and coloring concept of an eagle tattoo. So here I am today with my version of "how to draw an eagle tattoo", step by step. This is a real simple concept to take on because all I did was draw the head of an eagle. I was going to draw a full bodied eagle but to keep thing simple, tackling an eagle head would be a more realistic task for you guys to take on. The design is wicked cool and to make this eagle tattoo look even more incredible, I also drew some blazing flames pouring out of the eagles mouth. The intense expression in the eyes, and the clawed shape of the beak all help make this tattoo design an exciting drawing to replicate. This would also make an awesome tattoo for a guy's shoulder, calf, or even on the back shoulder. I had so much fun sketching out this eagle and I know for a fact that you guys will love it too. The coloring job just pops and it is such an eye catching display that makes you want to stare and stare. Thanks so much guys and I hope you enjoy.

[Produced by Dave Scratch]
[Verse 1]
It ain't hard to tell, I excel then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathing a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like the Shining, sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a Uzi on the island in my army jacket lining
Hit the Earth like a comet – invasion!
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazing
Cause in my physical, I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell
[Verse 2]
The Buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up
Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
Nas, I analyze, drop a jewel, inhale from the L
School a fool well, you feel it like Braille, it ain't hard to tell
I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills I'm Ill plus Matic
I freak beats, slam it like Iron Sheik
Jam like a Tec with correct techniques
So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magnetize me
Scannin' while you're plannin' ways to sabotage me
I leave 'em froze like her-on in your nose
Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell
[Verse 3]
This rhythmatic explosion, is what your frame of mind has chosen
I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggas is frozen
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
End like Leviathan, it's deep, well let me try again
Wisdom be leaking out my grapefruit, troop
I dominate break loops, giving mics men-e-strual cycles
Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle
And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
You're still a soldier, I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra
Packing like a Rasta in the weed spot, vocals'll squeeze Glocks
MC's eavesdrop though they need not to sneak
My poetry's deep I never fail
Nas' raps should be locked in a cell, it ain't hard to tell
[Outro Scratches]
The type of lyrical terrorism I present
Remix of the classic song, It Ain't Hard To Tell. Released originally only on Rap Genius, and now also on Nas's 20th anniversary re-release of Illmatic,"Illmatic XX".
This is supposed to have new annotations for the same remix lyrics, it was a project carried out for Nas.

Trace Flags (Transact-SQL)
Trace flags are used to temporarily set specific server characteristics or to switch off a particular behavior. For example, if trace flag 3205 is set when an instance of SQL Server starts, hardware compression for tape drivers is disabled. Trace flags are frequently used to diagnose performance issues or to debug stored procedures or complex computer systems.
The following table lists and describes the trace flags that are available in SQL Server.
Trace flag behavior may not be supported in future releases of SQL Server.
Trace flag
Prints versioning information about extended stored procedure dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). For more information about __GetXpVersion(), see Creating Extended Stored Procedures.
Scope: global or session
Returns the resources and types of locks participating in a deadlock and also the current command affected.
Scope: global only
Disables lock escalation based on memory pressure, or based on number of locks. The SQL Server Database Engine will not escalate row or page locks to table locks.
Using this trace flag can generate excessive numbers of locks. This can slow the performance of the Database Engine, or cause 1204 errors (unable to allocate lock resource) because of insufficient memory
If both trace flag 1211 and 1224 are set, 1211 takes precedence over 1224. However, because trace flag 1211 prevents escalation in every case, even under memory pressure, we recommend that you use 1224. This helps avoid "out-of-locks" errors when many locks are being used.
Scope: global or session
Returns the resources and types of locks that are participating in a deadlock and also the current command affected, in an XML format that does not comply with any XSD schema.
Scope: global only
Disables lock escalation based on the number of locks. However, memory pressure can still activate lock escalation. The Database Engine escalates row or page locks to table (or partition) locks if the amount of memory used by lock objects exceeds one of the following conditions:
If both trace flag 1211 and 1224 are set, 1211 takes precedence over 1224. However, because trace flag 1211 prevents escalation in every case, even under memory pressure, we recommend that you use 1224. This helps avoid "out-of-locks" errors when many locks are being used.
Lock escalation to the table- or HoBT-level granularity can also be controlled by using the LOCK_ESCALATION option of the ALTER TABLE statement.
Scope: global or session
Enables the replication log reader to move forward even if the async secondaries have not acknowledged the reception of a change. Even with this trace flag enabled the log reader always waits for the sync secondaries. The log reader will not go beyond the min ack of the sync secondaries. This trace flag applies to the instance of SQL Server, not just an availability group, an availability database, or a log reader instance. Takes effect immediately without a restart. This trace flag can be activated ahead of time or when an async secondary fails.
Disables parallel checking of objects by DBCC CHECKDB, DBCC CHECKFILEGROUP, and DBCC CHECKTABLE. By default, the degree of parallelism is automatically determined by the query processor. The maximum degree of parallelism is configured just like that of parallel queries. For more information, see Configure the max degree of parallelism Server Configuration Option.
Parallel DBCC should typically be left enabled. For DBCC CHECKDB, the query processor reevaluates and automatically adjusts parallelism with each table or batch of tables checked. Sometimes, checking may start when the server is almost idle. An administrator who knows that the load will increase before checking is complete may want to manually decrease or disable parallelism.
Disabling parallel checking of DBCC can cause DBCC to take much longer to complete and if DBCC is run with the TABLOCK feature enabled and parallelism set off, tables may be locked for longer periods of time.
Scope: global or session
Bypasses the default backup compression pre-allocation algorithm to allow the backup file to grow only as needed to reach its final size. This trace flag is useful if you need to save on space by allocating only the actual size required for the compressed backup. Using this trace flag might cause a slight performance penalty (a possible increase in the duration of the backup operation).
For more information about the pre-allocation algorithm, see Backup Compression (SQL Server).
By default, if a tape drive supports hardware compression, either the DUMP or BACKUP statement uses it. With this trace flag, you can disable hardware compression for tape drivers. This is useful when you want to exchange tapes with other sites or tape drives that do not support compression.
Scope: global or session
By default, every successful backup operation adds an entry in the SQL Server error log and in the system event log. If you create very frequent log backups, these success messages accumulate quickly, resulting in huge error logs in which finding other messages is problematic.
With this trace flag, you can suppress these log entries. This is useful if you are running frequent log backups and if none of your scripts depend on those entries.
Prevents SQL Server from automatically starting and recovering any database except the master database. If activities that require tempdb are initiated, then model is recovered and tempdb is created. User databases will be started and recovered when accessed. Some features, such as snapshot isolation and read committed snapshot, might not work. Use for Move System Databases and Move User Databases. Do not use during normal operation.
Limits the amount of information returned to users who are not members of the sysadmin fixed server role, by masking the parameters of some error messages using '******'. This can help prevent disclosure of sensitive information.
Scope: global only
Controls multiple query optimizer changes previously made under multiple trace flags. For more information, see this Microsoft Support article
Scope: global or session
Makes server-level metadata visible to application roles. In SQL Server, an application role cannot access metadata outside its own database because application roles are not associated with a server-level principal. This is a change of behavior from earlier versions of SQL Server. Setting this global flag disables the new restrictions, and allows for application roles to access server-level metadata.
Scope: global only
Disables generation of a memory dump on the first occurrence of an out-of-memory exception in CLR integration. By default, SQL Server generates a small memory dump on the first occurrence of an out-of-memory exception in the CLR. The behavior of the trace flag is as follows:
Scope: global only
Enables a dedicated administrator connection (DAC) on SQL Server Express. By default, no DAC resources are reserved on SQL Server Express. For more information, see Diagnostic Connection for Database Administrators.
Scope: global only
Reverts the cache limit parameters to the SQL Server 2005 RTM setting which in general allows caches to be larger. Use this setting when frequently reused cache entries do not fit into the cache and when the optimize for ad hoc workloads Server Configuration Option has failed to resolve the problem with plan cache.
Trace flag 8032 can cause poor performance if large caches make less memory available for other memory consumers, such as the buffer pool.
Enables singleton updates for Transactional Replication. Updates to subscribers can be replicated as a DELETE and INSERT pair. This might not meet business rules, such as firing an UPDATE trigger. With trace flag 8207 an update to a unique column that affects only one row (a singleton update) is replicated as an UPDATE and not as a DELETE or INSERT pair. If the update affects a column on which has a unique constraint or if the update affects multiple rows, the update is still replicated as a DELETE or INSERT pair.
Disables SELECT permission for DBCC SHOW_STATISTICS.
In SQL Server, there are two types of trace flags: session and global. Session trace flags are active for a connection and are visible only to that connection. Global trace flags are set at the server level and are visible to every connection on the server. Some flags can only be enabled as global, and some can be enabled at either global or session scope.
The following rules apply:
A global trace flag must be enabled globally. Otherwise, the trace flag has no effect. We recommend that you enable global trace flags at startup, by using the -T command line option.
If a trace flag has either global or session scope, it can be enabled with the appropriate scope. A trace flag that is enabled at the session level never affects another session, and the effect of the trace flag is lost when the SPID that opened the session logs out.
Trace flags are set on or off by using either of the following methods:
Using the DBCC TRACEON and DBCC TRACEOFF commands.
For example, DBCC TRACEON 2528: To enable the trace flag globally, use DBCC TRACEON with the -1 argument: DBCC TRACEON (2528, -1). To turn off a global trace flag, use DBCC TRACEOFF with the -1 argument.
Using the -T startup option to specify that the trace flag be set on during startup.
The -T startup option enables a trace flag globally. You cannot enable a session-level trace flag by using a startup option. For more information about startup options, see Database Engine Service Startup Options.
Use the DBCC TRACESTATUS command to determine which trace flags are currently active.
The following example sets trace flag 3205 on by using DBCC TRACEON.

"I'm so sorry," I said to my friend, over and over, every time I put anything into my mouth or even looked at any of the food I'd spent all day preparing for a small, impromptu New Years Eve gathering. She's a vegetarian, you see, and I'd made somewhere in the vicinity of 14,000 relatively fancy "small bites"… nearly every single one of which contained some sort of seafood. Oh, the other thing? This friend–in town for a quick visit and packing in face time with several dozen of her nearest and dearest, some of whom I'd assumed she'd be ringing in the new year with–had texted me while my little festivus was already under way, essentially inviting herself over. She's fun and spontaneous like that. And I was thrilled to have her! And she totally understood the gastronomic situation. And was as profusely apologetic as I.
…So, why was I apologizing?
Habit, I guess. I mean, I apologized to my dog this morning when I accidentally stepped on her paw, a gesture which was likely wasted, as the only words my she seems to register are "walk" and "kibble." I say I'm sorry when I mean "excuse me." I say I'm sorry when I mean "What? I didn't catch that." I say I'm sorry when someone bumps into me. I even, on occasion, say I'm sorry when what I really mean is "Screw you."
I suspect I am not alone. Women, after all, are notorious "hedgers." And I wonder: when "I'm sorry" is as reflexive a verbal tic as "um," what kind of toll does it take? Why are we so quick to cast ourselves the villains? To label ourselves "wrong?" To discount our own perspective? As though this were the proper thing to do? Sometimes an apology is warranted, of course, but when we offer one up without reason, what are we really saying? And what are we really apologizing for? Are we sorry for taking up too much space? For inconveniencing someone else? For being too something, or not something else enough? Or for being, at all?
What are we saying to the world about ourselves, and what are we saying to ourselves about ourselves? And why does it matter?
Interestingly, I got to thinking about the subject not because of the NYE non-incident, but because I was reading yet another item about the lack of women in the C-suite and the corporate inertia around making the changes that would get–and keep–us there, all despite the very real benefits gender balance in the highest ranks has been shown to offer. Caroline Turner writes in the VentureBeat piece:
Both Catalyst and the Center for Work Life Policy divide the causes of women leaving the business world into "pull factors" (like family care) and "push factors," negative elements about the work environment or job. Two major push factors involve:
- Acceptance: Women not feeling fully valued or accepted, and
- Advancement: Women feeling they can't advance or succeed.
There are two drivers of these feelings:
- The "comfort principle" and
- An unconscious preference for how leadership and excellence look.
…The builders of American business were primarily men. They got there first. It is natural that ideas of leadership and excellence have a more masculine than feminine flavor.
Studies show that "leadership" is associated with words that are characteristic of men more often than women. In fact, when women exhibit some of these traits, they are not favorably received. In evaluating a woman, men may find her approach unfamiliar and may judge her style rather than focus on the results she delivers.
Leaders can stop and notice whether previously unconscious preferences are influencing how they evaluate a woman. They can take the time to understand differences in masculine and feminine approaches, and the strengths and limitations of each. Then they can appreciate and value both.
Too reiterate–but not to put too fine a point on it, well, you know, as Turner writes and as we've been known to mention from time to time, the corporate world as it exists today was largely conceived and constructed by men. Once women got in the door, we quickly learned that we'd best play along with the boys in charge, do things their way. But that time's come and gone–women make up half the workforce, and the world has changed. It's our world, too, and it's high time we stopped apologizing for our place in it and the way we see it.
Yes, the world is littered with structural inequities, biases, chauvinists and misogyny, but it's our responsibility to speak up. When we keep quiet to keep the peace, when we apologize for who we are, we discount who we are, our perspective, our needs–all while our power to change things evaporates. And we deprive ourselves, our family, our companies and our world the perspective that is uniquely ours to offer. When instead of asking for what we want or saying that we see things a little differently, we question ourselves or keep quiet–or worse, apologize–what we're really saying is that we don't matter.
Does this seem like a stretch? Maybe it does. Maybe it is. But it's my perspective, and I'm not sorry for sharing it.
But I do still feel kinda bad about the smoked salmon wontons. The fried oysters. The shrimp remoulade… Oh, who am I kidding? No I don't.

Hi..I'm jumping for joy..Just my way of

found you people..Wow, what a difference a day makes..My hits
starting to increase.,and I'm not such a soarpuss all the
time..Things are lookin up..Keep up the good service..:-) KEEP
SMILING." Don BrittonNebraska, USA

the bottom of my heart".Sincerely,Shirley D.New
Hampshire, USA
You guys are great, I've been looking for a
long time for something to boost my internet business, but I
didn't have a lot of the internet skills! With your system it
was easy, almost like a walk in the park, no click, respond,
click, respond...of a normal setup! With your directions I
could do it (and that's really saying something!) Your staff
is always prompt and friendly when responding to questions and
I appreciate that. When you run a home business, time is
money. Most of all your price just can't be beat and I'm
recommending you to all of my co-workers. Keep up the great
work!!Thanks,LaceyNevada, USA
"You my friends should be congratulated for
your speedy email reply support. Absolutely outstanding, A
FIRST in the Industry."Thanks,Bernie in Canada
"I just wanna say that you guys are the best
traffic website ever!! Thanks to you I have made $425 in sales
and it's only been a week! Nothing has ever worked for me
before! You guys have already earned me way more than the one
time fee I paid for your service. I will continue to use your
website again and again and I will recommend it to all my
friends!" Thanks a bunch!Love,Liz
If you want to put this in your testimonials,
it's ok with me. I just wanted to thank you for everything.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Since joining last month,
I've had more hits to my web site than I did the previous 6
months! Honestly, I was getting a little sick of the only hits
to my hit counter being from my own visits to my web site.
Your system, the great price, the support are the best around,
and all of the tools have helped me to become (at least in my
opinion) somewhat of an Internet Marketing Specialist. My hat
is off to you guys and gals at Blast4Traffic. Thanks a
million! Best Regards, David B.Vineland, NJ
When I began this program, I was having
trouble getting setup. Every time I had a problem, I emailed
support for help (on a Sunday). I had to email them several
times and was getting frustrated and was feeling burdensome.
Not only did they reassure me that I was not a burden to them,
they never gave up on me. In a short while they had my problem
solved and my email campaign was well on its way! Absolutely
fantastic customer service! Thank you, Stephen Sapp
"Just wanted to let you all know how pleased we are here at HoboGraphics.com with your system. We've had a great year and we owe much of our success to the increase in web visitors that came from your system. Keep up the great work! We know that this year will be even better".
- Sam Rosen
"Thank you Blast4Traffic, you have been a blessing for my online business! I am just amazed at all the tools you have provided me for such a minimal cost. Before I found you, I had spent hundreds of dollars and never received the exposure you have given me in such a short period of time. I am an active member of my local Chamber of Commerce and have recommended your service to everyone and anyone who would listen, and I will continue doing so! Thanks again!".

attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), formerly called hyperkinesis or minimal brain dysfunction, a chronic, neurologically based syndrome characterized by any or all of three types of behavior: hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsivity. Hyperactivity refers to feelings of restlessness, fidgeting, or inappropriate activity (running, wandering) when one is expected to be quiet; distractibility to heightened distraction by irrelevant sights and sounds or carelessness and inability to carry simple tasks to completion; and impulsivity to socially inappropriate speech (e.g., blurting out something without thinking) or striking out. Unlike similar behaviors caused by emotional problems or anxiety, ADHD does not fluctuate with emotional states; sleep deprivation may also cause symptoms in children that resemble those of ADHD. While the three typical behaviors occur in nearly everyone from time to time, in those with ADHD they are excessive, long-term, and pervasive and create difficulties in school, at home, or at work. ADHD is usually diagnosed before age seven. It is often accompanied by a learning disability.
The cause of ADHD is unknown, although there appears to be a genetic component in some cases. Intake of sugars is no longer considered to be a factor. Some studies suggest that although food additives, such as colorings, do not cause symptoms in the general population, they may aggravate hyperactivity in some susceptible individuals. It has been shown that people with ADHD have less activity in areas of the brain that control attention. Treatment usually includes behavioral therapy and emotional counseling combined with medications such as methylphenidate hydrochloride (Ritalin), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), or a combination drug called Adderall that correct neurochemical imbalances in the brain; over the long term, however, such medications do not appear to offer any benefits. Although symptoms may decrease after adolescence, they often persist into adulthood.

The second annual Frogman 3D Bowhunters Challenge is aiming for a day of fun, archery and helping a worthy cause.
The second annual Frogman 3D Bowhunters Challenge is aiming for a day of fun, archery and helping a worthy cause.
The event, set to begin at 9 a.m. Aug. 17, will take place at 555 Grants Creek Road in Jacksonville.
Bowhunters with beginning, intermediate and well-seasoned skills are welcome to try their hands at the courses, sponsored by Lejeune Archery Club. Organizers caution participants to prepare for the unusual in the new �toughman� shoot, which has been designed to represent the tough skills needed to be a Navy SEAL.
Registration for adults 18 and older costs $20. Children 9 to 17 participate for $10, and children under 9 shoot for free.
�We still really need some more sponsors,� said one of the organizers, Terri Campbell.
To sponsor a target costs $400, and all proceeds from the event will benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation and Hope for the Warriors, Campbell said. The Challenge started last year in honor of Petty Officer Chris Campbell, a Navy SEAL and Jacksonville native, who died Aug. 6, 2011, in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Raising funds for the organizations was Campbell�s last request.
She added that they are still looking for donations for the silent auction as well � they welcome anything from paintings to outdoor gear, she said.
The event will also feature a poker run, where motorcyclists ride to different locations trying to build the best poker hand. The participant with the best hand wins a prize. Registration for the poker run costs $20 per rider, $15 per passenger. It�s $30 to participate in both the shoot and the poker run.
Campbell said the National Wild Turkey Federation will also set up a BB shoot for kids, and families are welcome to come out and fish. A DJ and food will be provided after the shoot ends at 5:30 p.m., and Luke Spehar will sing at 6 p.m.
Those who cannot sponsor or otherwise attend the event can still help support the event by buying a ticket for a barbecue plate and a drink for $8. Barbecue plates can be picked up at 555 Grants Creek between 11:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the day of the event, or the tickets can be donated to someone in the wounded warrior barracks. Tickets can be bought by calling 910-333-8690 or by sending a message to the organizers on Facebook via the Frogman 3D Bowhunters Challenge page. More information on the event also can be found on that page.

Google has lent its search algorithm to one of the most powerful memes of the decade: the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Now users can use Google's search engine to find out any actor's Bacon number, according to the Guardian. Previously Google would have easter eggs, or surprises, hidden in its search engine when users typed in a phrase. Now typing in "Bacon number" and any thespian gets an actor or actress's degree of separation from actor Bacon.
For instance, teen pop sensation (and sometimes actor) Justin Bieber has a Bacon number of 4, while the prehistoric actor Clint Eastwood is much closer at 2. This is definitely a good way to waste an hour, so you mght want to wait to use it until after work.

Best of Honolulu - Shopping
Best Hip, Locally Made Jewelry: GINGER 13
Those circle-and-stone pendants and star earrings you see on trendy women around town are usually the work of 'Aiea's Cindy Yokoyama, the young owner and designer of the Ginger 13 line. Yokoyama studied painting at the University of Hawai'i, where, she says, abstract shapes, asymmetry and color captivated her.
"I incorporate that in my jewelry. It's like a language I use to express my artistic side in a different media." At first, jewelry was a hobby, but now, Ginger 13 is carried at MisFortune, Crazy Beautiful and Pineapple County, as well as stores in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and parts of Canada. Her pieces, which might mix tiny plastic dice with Island materials, such as kukui nuts, coconut shell or shark's teeth, run about $50 to $80. She also does custom work. "It's an amazing feeling to get a following," she says.
Best Men's Boutique: IN4MATION
Guys searching for style-conscious, but not cookie-cutter, threads have made In4mation a favorite shopping stop.
|In4mation offers hip clothing for young men. photo: Karin Kovalsky
"The whole reason we started the store was because we were tired of seeing the same old stuff everywhere," says one of In4mation's owners, Todd Shimabuku. The store, which has expanded to two locations, carries hip, hard-to-find street wear. It's the only store in the United States to carry the bold graphic designs of Fiberops, for example.
Lines from Japan, New York City and Los Angeles provide much of the clothing, but In4mation also has its own, ever-expanding clothing line–love that stripper/chandelier print shirt. On the rest of the shelves, you'll find baseball hats, limited-release Nike and DC sneakers, art, magazines and collectible toys and figurines. T-shirts run $23 to $80; a hooded sweater, $295. What's next? According to Shimabuku, "The look is going more away from hip hop and more towards punk and rock." Ward Warehouse, 597-1447; or Waikiki Shopping Plaza, 2250 Kalakaua Ave., 923-0888.
Best Craft Fair: DIAMOND HEAD ARTS AND CRAFT FAIR
One of the largest craft fairs on the island, the Diamond Head Arts and Craft Fair has been around for nearly two decades and boasts up to 222 vendors each year, including woodwork, glassware, ceramics and clothing. As the island's best craft fair, the organizers ensure that each item is handcrafted by the vendor. This means high-quality, locally made goods, such as stained glass windowpanes, koa pens and homemade soaps. The best only comes around once a year; the fair is held on the second Sunday of November. (Nov. 12, 2006 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at Kapi'olani Community College.

Best Maternity Wear: HOT MAMA
Ladies, it's time to ditch the age-old, mommy-to-be uniform. You know it; you've seen it–tentlike tops, billowing mu'umu'u or your exact wardrobe, just a few sizes up. Paige McGuire, owner of Hot Mama, is here to help, offering expectant mothers fashion and comfort. Must-haves include tops with rouching in all the right places, designer denim with hidden spandex panels and trendy, incognito diaper bags. 3435 Wai'alae Ave., Suite 106A. 737-2737.
Best Women's Boutique: VALERIE JOSEPH
It's tucked away in McCully Shopping Center, and has been open only since October, but Valerie Joseph has generated buzz all over Honolulu. If you're tired of the same old, same old, stop by and check out the refreshing collection, including exclusive lines, such as BCBG Girls and French Connection, as well as the store's own private label. Browse through the racks of clothing, ranging from dressy, lacy tops to casual tees and lingerie. Though some items are pricey, you can build an entire outfit for under $200, including a handbag and jewelry. At the back of the store is a large, antique wooden table covered in affordable bangles, earrings, long necklaces, pendants and beads. 1960 Kapi'olani Blvd., Suite 111. 942-5258.
Best Antiques Store: ANTIQUE ALLEY
The interior of Antique Alley looks as if eight of the world's biggest pack rats got together and formed a business, which is fitting, given that's exactly what happened. Eight vendors, who have more or less been working together for 23 years (they were previously at the Honolulu Swap Meet) show their eclectic wares–everything from jewelry to local street signs to surf memorabilia–in the overflowing space. Most of the merchandise "walks in the door," says vendor Melave Harman, vintage finds brought in after the passing of a relative or the cleaning out of a garage. The vendors are selective about what they buy, and specialize in pre-statehood artifacts. "My business card reads, cultural recycler," says A. Pake Zane, another vendor. "It's the stories that go with all the artifacts, whether it's a soda bottle, booklet or a flashlight." 1347 Kapi'olani Blvd., 941-8551.
Best Place to Spice up Your Love Life: SENSUALLY YOURS
Having braved numerous sex shops here in Honolulu and beyond, we were pleasantly surprised when we walked into Sensually Yours and saw that it was devoid of dollar viewing rooms, suspicious odors and a guy smoking a Parliament at the check-out counter. The space is well-lit and clean; even the most bashful pair should feel comfortable walking in. Couples will find a large selection of lingerie (brands such as On Gossamer and Felina), accessories (furry handcuffs, anyone?), battery-operated toys of all shapes and sizes, books and DVDs. There's also a great section for bachelorette parties. And, they do at-home parties. 1130 N. Nimitz Highway, Suite A112, 599-1655.
Best Camera Shop: KAIMUKI CAMERA
The digital revolution in photography means that most people nowadays get their cameras online or at CompUSA. But for those missing the one-on-one attention and expert advice that only a dedicated camera shop can provide, Kaimuki Camera is still going strong. It's a tiny space at the top of Wai'alae Avenue, but this shooters' mecca carries a panoply of photographic equipment, including Canon and Olympus camera gear, photo paper, inks and film, darkroom supplies, digital media and tons of accessories. The real draw, though, is the friendly customer service and astute guidance provided by owners Neil and Pat Sananikone. They've been running the store since 1983, and have turned it into a gathering place for local shutterbugs, both amateur and pro, who come to trade industry news and drool over the newest in camera technology. "It is one of those old-time stores where you feel like you're meeting with friends," says one photo enthusiast. The Sananikones' expertise in specialty printing makes this the place to go for great-looking enlargements and art prints. Kaimuki Camera, 3622 Wai'alae Ave., 735-5955.
Best Store to Satisfy Hippie Pets: NATURALLY PET
When it comes to food, Yumi Iseki believes dogs and cats should have it just as good as their owners. That's why she founded Naturally Pet, which sells only organic and human-grade pet food lines, such as Royal Canin, Eagle Pack, Pet Promise and Organix. "For a lot of people, their pets are like their babies, and they want to do everything right," Iseki says. "In the long run, these clean foods are better for their pets. They're healthier and they look better." Naturally Pet also carries natural cookies and jerky treats, as well as vitamin and mineral supplements. 535 Ward Ave. #106; 591-9944. www.naturallypet.com.
Best Used Bookstore: FRIENDS OF KAILUA LIBRARY BOOKSTORE
You won't find the best used bookstore on O'ahu in the yellow pages. That's because the Friends of Kailua Library BookStore occupies what used to be a community meeting room at the Kailua Public Library. "We have everything from textbooks to reference books to paperback fiction and nonfiction. Anything that you could possibly imagine, we have," says supervisor Leigh Prentiss. Because the entire collection is donated, nearly every book costs either fifty cents or a dollar, and the stock is constantly changing. Thirty-one volunteers keep this place open for limited hours six days a week. –Terry Hunter, KGMB9 239 Ku'ulei Road, Kailua, 266-9911.

Do the right coast: Ross scripts a local life
Monty Ross relaxes on the steps of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library downtown, casual in a baseball cap and a t-shirt. He laughs that if he were in Los Angeles, his cap would be more fitted, although he'd probably forego entering full movie-producer mode– all-black, accessorized with a bit of "bling" and a movie script.
Don't recognize the name Monty Ross? You know his work. From the 1980s until 1995, Ross was behind all of Spike Lee's movies, producing everything from Do the Right Thing to Malcolm X to the numerous TV commercials and music videos Lee directed.
Ross, now 47, became friends with Lee while a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta. After graduating, Lee went to New York University for film school. Nebraska native Ross stayed in Atlanta doing improvisational theater. But when Lee mentioned his NYU thesis project, Ross recalls, "I said I'd like to be in it."
Ross not only starred in Joe's Bed-Study Barbershop: We Cut Heads, which won Lee a 1983 student Academy Award, but also took care of whatever needed to be done on the set. "I didn't mind," he says, "because it was in New York, and I was learning about movies."
Although Ross and Lee ran out of money before finishing their next collaboration, The Messenger ("Larry Fishburne was going to be in that movie," Ross laments), the following project, She's Gotta Have It, shot on a shoestring in just 12 days, became the sleeper hit of 1986.
Careers launched, Ross helped Lee establish his production company, Forty Acres and A Mule, in an old Brooklyn firehouse. "The blood and sweat he pumped into that company often goes unnoticed," says L.A.-based film producer Lashan Browning of Ross, "but he was the heart of it all."
By 1994, though, Ross was dreaming of producing a movie about Harlem civil rights leader Adam Clayton Powell Jr. When Showtime signed on to the project, Ross moved to Los Angeles.
"It took eight years to get that film made," says Ross about Keep the Faith, Baby, which aired in 2002 to critical acclaim.
Weary of Hollywood's constant hype and with a new baby in the family, he and his wife, Carol, decided to move to Charlottesville soon after to be near Carol's family.
Ross still travels for work, but these days he concentrates his energy on parenting. Nevertheless, he has several production pots simmering, including a rags-to-riches bio-pic of local entrepreneur and York Place real estate magnate Chuck Lewis.
After L.A., where "people are constantly pitching, pitching," Ross is enjoying life in a lower key. "I kind of like being an unknown person and floating around Charlottesville," he says with a smile, "because you get to see the real world."
Monty Ross
