The 35th annual Mrs. Hawaii America Pageant is seeking Hawaii's married women as contestants for the coveted 2010 title. The 2010 Mrs. Hawaii America will be crowning a new queen to represent our state on July 23, 2010 at the Neil S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall, Pikake Room from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
There are three phases of competition: interview, swimwear and evening gown. Contestants must be 18 years or older and, of course, married. The Mrs. Hawaii organization is looking to provide much needed recognition to Hawaii's married women to show how extraordinarily beautiful, poised, compassionate, and genuinely real they are. She must be the type of woman who feels the need to continue making a difference in life. These women are more than just homemakers they are the core to the family unit.
The winner will go on to compete at the national Mrs. America Pageant held this summer in Tuscon, Arizona from August 31st through September 7th. The event, hosted by actress Florence Henderson, showcases 51 women from all the U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Applications are available now. Please call state director Luana Alapa at (808) 520-8119 or 782-1119 (cell). You can also send an email to LuanaAlapa@gmail.com. Deadline to enter is June 30th, 2010.
Tickets to attend the 2010 Mrs. Hawaii American Pageant at the Neil S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on Friday, July 23rd are $35 per person, $40 for VIP seating. To purchase tickets or for more information, please call (808) 520-8119 or 782-1119.
just checking if there is anyway to retrieve video show of Mrs. hawaii 1984 televised on KHON TV2 taped on February 14, 1984 from the Hilton Hawaii dome. I competed way back then and had it taped on a VHS for me but unfortunately the tape is ruined. would love to show my grandchildren.
hello – i was a contestant with you in the mrs.hawaii pageant. hope you are doing well! were you ever able to locate the copy of the pageant on video? i would love to have a copy as well! thank you!

Enhancer-dependent splicing of FGFR1 alpha-exon is repressed by RNA interference-mediated down-regulation of SRp55
Jin, W.; Cote, G.J.
Cancer Research 64(24): 8901-8905
DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.can-04-0716
The FGFR1 gene transcript is alternatively processed to produce functionally different receptor forms. Previously, we identified a 69-nucleotide exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) required for alpha-exon inclusion in JEG3 cells. In the present study, we found that this sequence is composed of three independent elements, two smaller ESE sequences flanking an exonic splicing silencer sequence.

It's safe to say only JLO can pull this off. Could Jennifer Lopez be throwing major shades at the young aspiring singers on the set of American Idol by wearing a daring and barely there frock? It's almost an homage to the knock out Versace green dress she wore to accompany P. Diddy to the Grammys years ago, the dress that essentially put her on the music and fashion map. As always, never mind the dress, we love the shoes!

This is a handful of unmatched poems – a random bunch rather than an arranged bouquet. If nothing else, I suppose it demonstrates a typically stubborn refusal to reduce 'poetic voice' to a monotone.

And something darker that she couldn't place.
Today: the dirt... especially the words.
Just for allowing him to go. Just that.
Laughing? She never even got the joke.

Unwritten invitations on the breeze.

In the pools of their liquid hind quarters.
To donate her his bovine gamete.

The Dora Milaje, the all-female army that protected the king in Marvel's Black Panther, was heavily modelled after The Dahomey Warriors (also called Dahomey Amazons or Nonmiton), a historically influential all-female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey in the present-day Republic of Benin, which lasted until the end of the 19th century. In the comics, the Dora Milaje are no longer Wakanda's special forces. They have their own lands now and are thus independent, though they remain tenuously loyal to the realm.
The author of the Dora Milaje's story Nnedi Okorafor gave a breakdown of what to expect in the third installment of AVENGERS: WAKANDA FOREVER #1 in an interview with Marvel. For the past two issues, Nakia, former member of the all women army, goes on a rampage as the super villain Malice. Okoye, Ayo and Aneka have had to explore the ancient secrets of the Dora to stop her.
Illustrated by artist Oleg Okunev, with cover art by Yasmine Putri and the second cover by Venesa Del Rey, Nnedi Okorafor says she wanted to explore the Dora Milaje having secrets and struggles beyond just being amazing warriors, and making and righting mistakes in the new series. "I wanted to look at who they were and who they have gradually become. A lot of these things are subtle in the plot but if you are willing to look at nuanced moments, you can expect to catch glimpses of the human beings these women are.
Okorafor wrote the first issue of LONG LIVE THE KING, in Arusha, Tanzania where she imagines is close to the fictional African nation Wakanda. She has also written the other superheroes like Spider-Man, Nightcrawler and Storm from the X-men. The author is also working on a standalone series for SHURI.


Earlier today, the Egyptian military announced that it had taken "necessary measures to protect the nation and support the legitimate demands of the people." It appears more and more likely that President Hosni Mubarak will leave power tonight, leaving many observers to label the current situation a military coup.
As I wrote in an Explainer last April following the ouster of the government of Kyrgyzstan, the word coup carries some fairly heavy legal ramifications. Section 508 of the Foreign Operations and Appropriations Act states that U.S. financial assistance is prohibited to "any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by decree or military coup." Aid can only be restored once the State Department can certify that democratic governance has been restored — often a tough standard to meet.
Section 508 has been applied a number of times — in Cote d'Ivoire in 1999 and Fiji in 2006, for instance. But it has also led to a reluctance by U.S. officials to describe government takeovers as coups. This was on full display following the overthrow of Manuel Zelaya in Honduras in 2009.
Of course, Egypt is a whole different beast — the third-largest recipient of U.S. military aid. But it's hard to imagine the administration would paint itself into a corner by uttering the word "coup," no matter what happens in the days to come.

The number of classic bar fight assaults has plummeted more than 60 percent since the early 1990s. But misdemeanor assault is still one of the most commonly-charged offenses in Parker County.

Driving While Intoxicated is, by far, the most commonly-charged alcohol-related offense in North Texas. But sometimes, all the elements are not present. Or, in a few cases, there is not enough evidence of intoxication to establish probable cause.

The jury system is the foundation of individual rights in criminal cases. This is a right few others enjoy. An estimated 90 percent of the word's jury trials occur in the United States. Rather ironically, that's also roughly the proportion of criminal plea bargains as opposed to trials in the United States.
Walk and Turn for your liberty!

The heel-to-toe walk test, which is also known as the walk and turn, is the third field sobriety test in the three-test National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-approved three test battery. It's a divided attention test which measures both mental acuity and physical dexterity. Scientifically, intoxicated people are basically unable to multitask in this way.

Pretrial release is important for a number of reasons. Obviously, people who are incarcerated cannot work, go to school, or spend time with their families. Furthermore, these individuals cannot participate in their own defenses, at least in any meaningful way. Finally, many Tarrant County jurors presume that if the defendant is in jail, the defendant must have done something wrong. They are not supposed to think that way, but there it is.

Of the three standard field sobriety tests, the One Leg Stand test is perhaps the easiest one to challenge. At best, it is only about 65 percent accurate in determining alcohol intoxication. In most cases, such a low percentage can hardly be considered proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

In Texas, possession of even trace amounts of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor (6 months in jail and $2,000 fine). Possession of a weapon is a Class A misdemeanor (one year and $4,000 fine). IN some cases, a non-working firearm, a pocketknife, and a hammer could all be "weapons" under Texas Penal Code 46.02. These are just two examples of Texas' very stiff possession laws.

By Andrew Herreth of Herreth Law posted in DUI on Thursday, August 23, 2018.
As far back as the 1960s, law enforcement agencies in Texas used random checkpoints to circumvent the reasonable suspicion rule. Sometimes, these DWI checkpoints consisted of little more than groups of officers who pulled over motorists if they "didn't look right." For that reason, these checkpoints were usually illegal.

The fines, probation, and other direct consequences of a DWI are bad enough. The collateral consequences, like license suspension and higher insurance rates, can be even worse. There's not much that a lawyer can do about the cost of auto insurance. But there is a lot an attorney can do to protect your license. Aggressive representation at the Administrative License Revocation hearing is part of that process.

Punishment for a criminal offense does not end once the cell doors open or the period of probation ends. In fact, sometimes the collateral consequences can be just as bad, or even worse, than the direct consequences. Even a minor criminal conviction often makes it hard to get a good job, find a nice place to love, get financial aid for school, or do other things that most people take for granted.

Most people whose licenses are suspended do nothing about the issue. 75 percent of these individuals simply keep driving. The "ignore a problem and hope it goes away" approach hardly ever works and almost always results in very bitter consequences.

But What's the Story?
November 24, 2015 by Carrie Bennett, posted in In the News
The last few days have brought more than their fair share of unexpected loss in our communities. As a world, we are still reeling from an uptick in horrific terrorist attack and squabbling about how to move forward. Closer to home, we recently learned that a friend from Oregon was killed in a hit and run accident. The vibrant life we had known transformed into a news report of a body found on the side of the road. Facebook has been an outpouring of photos and stories as an extended community of survivors grieves this loss. Yesterday, I learned that two young people here in our new community of Fort Collins lost their lives to suicide. Again, these deaths leave a dramatic mark of grief and loss on their families, schools, and communities and public displays of this grief have already started to bubble up.
In all of these cases, I was struck with the urgency I noticed (both in myself and in others) to go to the news and try to read/learn more. What happened? How could it happen? At times I think we're looking to find a place to lay the blame, to point a finger to numb our grief. As if looking for clues that will lead to a satisfactory explanation, we dive into the media to tell us the story. The media obliges, pressing details out of officials and churning out their own versions of the story, of the context and events to explain what happened and we consume their product voraciously.
What is it about tragedy, about loss, that drives us to seek information? Is it a subconscious impulse to rebuild a sense of security through facts and details? Is it a way to evade the sadness and confusion and distract ourselves with important sounding information while still maintaining a psychologically safe connection to the tragedy? What need does this information meet and where does that need come from?
Perhaps, this drive to understand the details, is a desperate last attempt to understand another person's story. I think we are hardwired to connect, to live in community with one another and build a fabric of reality through our interwoven stories. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own threads that we don't even notice what' happening around us until one of those threads breaks and we notice the holes left behind. After a loss, we scramble and try to reconstruct the events, the story that we didn't get to hear before. Tragically, this drive to listen to all the details, to understand another comes too late.
For all the players in these tragedies, there are layers and layers of stories that explain how we (the collective WE) got to now but we only stop to listen after some of the stories end. Sadly, the details that filter out through the media are only a small piece of the rest of the story. Caught up in the context and spin of stories that sell, we often only see a limited view into deeper and more complex histories of reality.Further, we sometimes only delve so deep into the stories from the other side. We don't necessarily listen with the same care to the story of the man who hit our friend, for example, as we do for the story of our friend as the victim.
Imagine if we took the time to hear the stories directly to listen deeply, to understand before the stories end. What if we continued to listen, long after a tragedy, to continue to bear witness to one anothers' circumstances. How tightly woven would our communities feel? How securely connected? How would we experience grief then? What role would media play in that kind of world? As I think about my work, my personal life, and my community, I hope to help support the exchanging of stories. Our workplaces, our families, and our neighborhoods desperately need this human element and the compassion that comes with it.

Hyperloop One covered half a mile of Nevada desert in about five seconds.
In the Nevada desert, not far from the glow of Las Vegas, a prototype for what may someday be the fastest train in history hurtled down a newly laid track, sending up a cloud of sand as it slowed. It covered half a mile in about five seconds—going more than 300 miles per hour—but the distance traveled is even grander when you consider the challenge. This is the earliest, and first public, demonstration of Hyperloop technology, an Elon Musk–inspired high-speed train that would shuttle people from Los Angeles to San Francisco in half an hour. Since the Tesla and Space X founder breathed new life into a century-old concept in 2013, the Hyperloop has gone from a sketch to a number of companies jostling for the best idea—one that could threaten the American rail system.
Ahlborn said their train will will be impervious to human error, weather changes, and traffic; it's also earthquake resistant, and runs on solar, wind, and kinetic energy. And it'll get you from L.A. to San Francisco in 30 minutes. Not to be outdone, Hyperloop One said it in its demo yesterday the trip would only take 20 minutes. The race to the future may come down to who sources money quickest—the Hyperloop is projected to cost billions.

Anne has answers: Who's Radical Russ, and why does he like Issue 3?
Got a question about marijuana legalization in Ohio? Anne Saker, The Enquirer's lead reporter on the 2015 campaign, can find the answers.Contact Anne atasaker@enquirer.com, 513-768-8489, facebook.come/annesaker, Twitter @apsaker, #AnneHasAnswers.
Who is "Radical" Russ Belville, and why does he like Issue 3?
Russ Belville is a well-known Portland, Oregon, marijuana activist, for years a passionate, forceful, hilarious advocate for legalization. This year, Belville has advocated for Issue 3 on his website, in his live daily podcast and in columns for The Huffington Post, High Times magazine and other publications.
Belville's opinion has generated no small outrage from Ohio activists, who are divided about the proposed constitutional amendment that would fully legalize marijuana.
Ballot proposals to legalize often irritate marijuana activists. They have devoted their lives to building a utopia of marijuana growing free and users relieved of worry from arrest or job hassles. In 2010, Proposition 19 in California lost in part because of the no vote from marijuana activists. In 2012, Initiative 502 in Washington state won despite a tide of haters within the movement.
In Ohio, opinion within the movement is similarly divided. Some activists, such as former Ohio NORML President Rob Ryan, collected signatures to get Issue 3 on the ballot and are campaigning for passage. Others, such as Don E. Wirtshafter of Athens, call Issue 3 "evil" for limiting the commercial cultivation to 10 farms around Ohio, three in Butler, Clermont and Hamilton counties.
Ohio activists in the Wirtshafter camp have used social media to engage almost daily in verbal swordplay with Belville and calling him a shill for ResponsibleOhio and its executive director Ian James.
Belville said the outcome of Issue 3 will generate a huge political message across the country on Election Day.
From his vantage point across the continent, Belville said Issue 3 isn't perfect, but it's a great leap forward that will extend compassion to the sick who need marijuana as medicine and ease the fear for adults who wants to use marijuana recreationally.

Newt Fowler's interview with Ida Cheinman for his Citybislist Baltimore column.
There's a lot of noise these days, in Baltimore and beyond, around the "social entrepreneur" movement. For some it's an alchemic promise, marrying money and mission to solve intractable societal issues that others failed to solve. The more cynical might see it as a movement that allows the palliative warmth of talking a good game about changing the world while earning a comfortable hybrid and a LEED-designed home. Social enterprise is a confusing movement that's hard to understand.
So I sat down with Ida Cheinman, who has been in Baltimore's conversation on social enterprise for a while. We worked past the labels to gain a better understanding of what makes an organization a social enterprise and its leadership a social entrepreneur.

Uterus Horror
Interview: Karen Walton's 'Ginger Snaps' Offers a Horror Renewal
June 1st, 2022 | By Molly Henery
EDITOR'S NOTE: This piece was originally published at Fangoria's website on April 17, 2020.
In a genre typically considered "for the guys," it's time to give a nod to the ladies. Uterus Horror is a subgenre of horror films that focuses on the uniquely female experience of puberty and the act of coming into your sexuality, using horror elements to emphasize and/or act as a metaphor for that experience. These films are often ignored in theaters but quickly develop cult followings. Columnist Molly Henery, who named and defined the subgenre, tackles a new film each month and analyzes how it fits into this bloody new corner of horror.
Last month we defined Uterus Horror and found its roots with Carrie. Now it's time to dive into the film that brought about Uterus Horror's modern resurgence, as well as being my favorite film of the subgenre, Ginger Snaps. This Canadian cult favorite had a small film festival run in 2000 before getting a wide release in Canada and a DVD release in the US in 2001. Directed by John Fawcett (Orphan Black, The Dark) and written by Karen Walton (Orphan Black, Queer as Folk), the film follows the Fitzgerald sisters as one of them goes through a life-altering transformation.
Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins), much like Carrie White, are outsiders. They are obsessed with death and the macabre, don't dress or act like the other girls, and are generally considered dark stains on the otherwise cheery, suburban setting. Even biologically the pair are odd, as both sisters are a few years late getting their first period. Brigitte and Ginger unwisely venture out at night to exact a revenge prank on a school bully, despite knowing there is some kind of dangerous animal on the loose that has been killing the local dogs.
It's during this excursion that Ginger gets her first period. Only moments later, a strange beast viciously attacks Ginger. The sisters manage to escape with their lives, but this is only the beginning. Brigitte watches as Ginger slowly changes. She is bleeding, hair is growing in places there never used to be hair, she's more emotional and volatile, and she suddenly has an interest in boys the sisters used to hate. This may sound like normal puberty, but these are all also symptoms of Ginger's new lycanthropic state.
When Ginger first gets her period, she calls it "the curse." It draws a clear connection to folklore about werewolves and how lycanthropy is often called a curse. Yet that is the only time there is any notion of mysticism. What makes Ginger Snaps so compelling is not only the parallels between lycanthropy and female puberty, but also the scientific approach the filmmakers took. Puberty is a biological process and, in this film, so is lycanthropy. The fact that Ginger's transformation is permanent also lends itself to a biological means rather than supernatural. In other werewolf lore, a man can change back and forth at will or changes with the moon. For Ginger, once she becomes the lycanthrope she stays that way. The cycle from the time Ginger is bitten to the time she becomes a lycanthrope takes about a month, just like a woman's biological cycle.
Brigitte at one point describes her sister's change as being like an infection or virus as it changes her from the inside out, again not unlike puberty. This is likely a large part of why the early symptoms are so similar. The typical mythos of silver and full moons mean nothing here. It is research and science that lead Brigitte and the helpful local drug dealer, Sam (Kris Lemche), to find a potential cure for lycanthropy, monkshood.
The relationship between Brigitte and Ginger also adds to the adoration fans have for of this film. They constantly bicker and fight, yet would do anything for the other sister. Brigitte and Ginger also provide a fascinating juxtaposition for the audience. Ginger changes into a young woman both physically and mentally. Even without the lycanthropy, many of the changes she experiences would still happen with puberty. She suddenly cares how others view her and wants to be accepted, at least by the opposite sex. Brigitte, on the other hand, hasn't experienced these changes yet. She and Ginger become opposing forces as Brigitte continues to maintain her individuality and keep a level head while trying to save her sister. Despite everything Ginger does throughout the film, all Brigitte wants is to help the sister she loves.
Of all the different metaphors for female puberty used in Uterus Horror, the transformation of werewolves is by far the most powerful. There is something gory, bloody, visceral, and animalistic about a young woman going through puberty and menstruating that perfectly connects to transforming into a werewolf. It's a painful and messy process that many try to keep hidden. There have been several films since to use this metaphor in Uterus Horror, but Ginger Snaps seems to have originated and perfected the craft.
Much like Carrie, this Uterus Horror film did surprisingly well with film critics. Ginger Snaps currently sits at an 89% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. When trying to gauge the financial success of the film, it's a bit more difficult to decipher as the numbers differ depending on where you look. The general consensus seems to be that Ginger Snaps was not a huge financial success, grossing a small fraction in theaters of what it cost to be made. It wasn't until the DVD release and eventual release on premium cable networks that the film truly gained momentum with horror fans. Now the film has a huge cult following of devoted fans that continually recommend the film to people, helping to grow the fan base. The film was eventually successful enough to bring about a sequel and a prequel. Both of the subsequent films star Ginger and Brigitte, although they don't connect lycanthropy to female puberty the same way the first Ginger Snaps film did.
Since the release of Ginger Snaps, there has been a snowball effect of more Uterus Horror films. In those 20 years, fans have seen more and more films that focus on the uniquely female experiences of puberty and sexuality. Many of those films have come out just in just the past 5 years. Judging by the cult following Ginger Snaps has, it is only logical to surmise the film revived the subgenre that was started by Carrie. In the history of Uterus Horror, it is important to give credit to Walton and Fawcett for creating this iconic work of art that touched generations of weirdos who had never seen themselves properly represented in film before.
While writing about the importance of Ginger Snaps in the history and evolution of Uterus Horror, I felt the need to speak with Karen Walton. As the woman responsible for writing this pivotal film, which is also one of my favorite films of all time, it was important to ask her about Ginger Snaps, Uterus Horror, and the legacy she created. I reached out to her, and she was kind enough to answer my questions.
In this interview we discuss revitalizing Uterus Horror, creating fierce female characters, lycanthropy and puberty, the film's cult following, and the future of Uterus Horror.
This interview has been edited for content and clarity.
Molly Henery: Carrie seems to be the beginning of Uterus Horror, but Ginger Snaps brought it back to the forefront of audiences' minds and started a rebirth of the subgenre. As the writer of such a legacy, did you have any inkling of how fiercely your film would be loved?
Karen Walton: That's funny because my own company is actually called Inkling. I personally did not have a sense when writing the script that Ginger would have such a remarkable impact on people. I knew I wanted to write something really fresh and ideally original for the werewolf subgenre; that was really my focus then, that challenge. It was director John Fawcett, the film's spark and our No. 1 contemporary horror fan on the team, who kept me convinced that it was in any way special, as I was writing. And our story editor, Ken Chubb, who helped me weave up the metaphor and really 'go there', layer the social/gender stuff in, emotionally.
But I can't pretend I could foresee as a brand new screenwriter in the Nineties, that the story and characters would find so many friends out in the wider world. I knew the film would be good, because I was working with a great filmmaker and committed producers. But my uterus and I were just trying to write something my girlfriends and I would actually want to go see, something that felt true to being a young woman at that age — to us. The reactions to that simple goal have been a gift, and are sincerely appreciated here.
MH: What do you think it is about lycanthropy and female puberty that creates such a compelling parallel?
KW: To me, women's experiences in particular are fertile ground for themes of The Body and The Bawdy. If we are healthy and our bodies are functioning as they should at that age, we are constantly contending with a physical transformation that alters how we feel, behave, and perceive the world we find ourselves in. And that world, in turn, is redressing its relationship with us: we are sexualized, monstricized, punished or praised depending on how we handle our nascent womanhood; biologically and psychologically.
The social pressures on young women — the vulnerabilities and dangers we all face, all over the world as we physically and emotionally mature simply due to the fact of our biological gender — are immense. We feel ugly, we feel powerful, we're not children but we aren't adults — our agency is limited by our parents, our teachers, our peers; we crave acceptance, we want to hide out in the bedroom and hope it all goes away, we seek to define who we are becoming: sometimes in unfortunate ways. We hunger for things, experiences, relationships, that are new to us. And not always good for us. We're growing hair that wasn't there before, we're bleeding every 28 days and not supposed to talk about how painful and awkward that can be.
That's a whole new horror to contend with for many, and the reactions that inspires in ourselves and others makes many of us want to rage against it all, lash out even before we can make sense of it. Adolescence is by biological and social design an ongoing transformation, and very personal as an experience. There's no escaping it, I always felt as though it was something to survive, at 15. And so I imagine is becoming a werewolf. The one became both a mirror and a lens for the other, essentially.
MH: There are plenty of men that love Ginger Snaps, but this is a film that truly connects more with women, for obvious reasons. When you were writing the film, did you have any idea how it would resonate with female horror fans and give them characters they could better relate to beyond the 'final girl' archetype?
KW: That women connect with the film, as I say above, was a personal goal for me. When it was written, horror was by and large a man's world in film, in my albeit limited experience. The male gaze was the frame, with few exceptions. But when I was very young, I had a teacher introduce us to Mary Shelley and Frankenstein, and I was very impressed with the story behind that story: a woman tackling subject matter that seemed reserved — and meant for — only men. The 'final girl' existed in my understanding as a viewer and reader only, but I probably hadn't heard it expressed as we do today, then.
It was more a feeling that I wanted to watch young women I could respect and fathom, in terms of their priorities. I wanted to show that not all young women lived for boyfriends and peer approval, for instance — because I certainly didn't, and no young women I knew did either. I wanted to show women being sisters, being faulty but meaningful friends, being each other's support network in an unkind world. I wanted to see women I recognized — over the stock tropes. It turns out I was not alone, I guess – ha.
MH: Ginger and Brigitte are both very strong and dynamic, but realistically flawed characters, which is probably why so many people can relate to them. How did you go about creating these characters?
KW: Thank you. For all the aspiring screenwriters out there, I want to assure you it didn't all come together in a fast, first draft. If the Fitzgerald sisters feel real, it's because I took the time and had the team's support to develop them properly as people, unique individuals, and had a story editor and a director who helped me raise the bar on both, each pass. I would say that Ginger took her final form first: the monsters always seem easiest, because we're working with and against tropes. You sort of have a pre-cut set of expectations to eff around with, which is always fun. Brigitte was far more challenging, arguably because she was closer to my own character, at that age. It took me several passes to find her true voice, which was so easily eclipsed by Ginger's more dominant personality at the top of the story.
So I did things like read a lot of books about female adolescent relationships and roles. I read a lot about sisters because I don't have one, and how they get on at that age in particular. Reading Naomi Wolf's Promiscuities gave me a wholly foreign but vital window on the adolescent experience of young women that way. And of course, Heavenly Creatures came out while I was writing Ginger Snaps, which was a major inspiration for me, in terms of how I looked at the way each of the girls felt and behaved in the world they were born into, how they might get through an average day if the werewolf had not come to Bailey Downs.
I thought a lot about their futures in a world we all recognize; what they would lose and gain if nothing ever happened to challenge their co-dependent stasis and self-imposed isolation. Then I went about nailing stakes into that coffin of a relationship, 'being bitten' became a catalyst/metaphor for the changes adolescence brings to us all: the plot or hard action became only about their unique and increasingly different choices, as they both became what was already built into that bound-to-break relationship.
MH: Why do you think there has been an increase in Uterus Horror films like Ginger Snaps over the past decade?
KW: So much has changed socially, globally, in such a contextually short time. Some of those changes include reimagining and challenging tropes, stereotypes, womens' roles in classic genres. And of course, who writes and directs movies is now thankfully evolving to reflect a more diverse set of world views: particularly womens'. Our experiences have been under-represented, systemically, in what a scary movie can mean or be. Our views on the genre have historically been so far underestimated, for potency.
Original films and especially horror films tend to express the preoccupations of the society their makers live in, so as our cultures all contend with the wonderful mess we've all made of gender politics, it seems good and right and inevitable to me that we will enjoy even more wild, fresh takes on what is truly scary or awful or hair-raising for more kinds of human beings. I think that's creative evolution at work: it's the adaptation of a genre to the environment and audiences it now faces, and ideally speaks to. It's wicked cool. I'm excited about what we'll get to see next.

Jerusalem Post Arab Israeli Conflict
Analysis: Israel's new approach to Hamas?
Hamas most probably will try to avenge the killing of Fuqaha – not directly from Gaza, but indirectly from the West Bank or Jerusalem – without leaving its own prints.
By YOSSI MELMAN
Published: MARCH 26, 2017 07:13
Updated: MARCH 26, 2017 15:51

The killing of Hamas operative Mazen Fuqaha on Friday night near his home southwest of Gaza City was the work of professionals. The assassin or assassins acted calmly, fired four bullets at point-blank range with guns equipped with silencers and left the scene without leaving any trace – at least so far.
Hamas hurriedly pointed a finger at Israel and blamed the Mossad for the murder.
Some Hamas officials mentioned, in the same breath, the December assassination in Tunisia of an engineer who helped develop drones and a mini-submarine for Hamas. That killing was attributed by the media to the Mossad.

Three potential suspects could have carried out the Fuqaha killing.
Radical Salafist groups in Gaza that oppose Hamas have launched rockets against Israel and hundreds of its members have been locked up by Hamas in recent months. Palestinian sources, however, estimate this probability as very low.
Another possibility is that the killing was an "inside job" – that someone in Hamas decided, for whatever reason, to get read of Fuqaha.
In the past, there have been incidents in which senior Hamas officials and commanders were murdered by their peers because of internal power struggles or personal disagreements. Surely, this scenario is possible, ever since Yahya Sinwar was elected the Hamas leader in Gaza. Nearly two years ago, he ordered the killing of a senior Hamas commander because of disagreements between them.
Israel, meanwhile, maintains its silence.
Assuming Israel turns out to be behind the assassination, it most probably was a joint operation of its intelligence community.
The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) is responsible for counterterrorism in Gaza, but works closely with other branches of the intelligence community and the IDF's Special Forces.
Fuqaha, 35, from the township of Tubas in the northern part of the West Bank, was sentenced in 2003 to nine life terms in prison for dispatching a suicide bomber during the second intifada who murdered nine Israelis on a bus in northern Israel.
He was released in 2011 as part of the Gilad Schalit prisoner swap, when the Shin Bet insisted that he and others would not be allowed to return to their West Bank homes and would be deported to Gaza.
There, in violation of his release commitment not to be involved in terrorism, he became a senior operative in the "West Bank command" of Hamas, which is subject to its military headquarters based in Turkey in charge of planning and executing terrorist operations against Israelis and the PA in the West Bank and Israel.
It's worth noting that the Shin Bet chief told the Knesset last week that Hamas has increased its efforts to execute terrorist acts in the West Bank and Israel, especially before Passover. After Fuqaha's death, his family in Tubas said Israeli intelligence officers had asked them to deliver warnings to him to stop his activities.
Assuming Israel is behind the assassination, it indicates a new approach.
True, Israel wants to maintain quiet and tranquility along the border with Gaza.
If, indeed, Israel can assassinate Hamas leaders in Gaza and abroad without leaving its fingerprints, it shows a more aggressive approach.
It's worth noting that the new head of the Shin Bet, Nadav Argaman, has spent all his professional life in the special operations wing of his organization.
And the new Mossad chief, Yossi Cohen, aspires to make his agency more "operational."
When there is precise intelligence and operational feasibility, Israel has an itch to execute such operations, but it is a dangerous game that can get out of control.
Hamas spokesmen promise to avenge the killing of their member, but the organization still doesn't want to be dragged into a new confrontation, because it feels it has not yet recovered from its loss in the last war in 2014 and is not yet ready militarily.
Therefore, Hamas most probably will try to avenge the killing of Fuqaha – not directly from Gaza, but indirectly from the West Bank or Jerusalem – without leaving its own prints.


I live and work in Portland, Maine. If you want to know more - please send me a message! I'm happy to talk.
In the late 1980s, the Waterfront Alliance began drafting recommendations for Portland's waterfront zones. Those recommendations laid the groundwork for the waterfront's future, and established the West Port Development Zone as an industrial working port.
EM1 Tony Robb and EM3 Alex Tade of the Coast Guard are in charge of keeping the lights burning at 22 lighthouses in Maine.
In the past four years there's been a lot of activity under the Casco Bay Bridge. The International Marine Terminal is now a fully operational freight facility, connecting Maine with the rest of North America and the North Atlantic.
There's a lot of silt between Portland Harbor's wharves and piers, and some of it is very, very dirty. For decades, pier owners have worked to incite a collective effort to remove and dispose of this material. But once we remove it, where do we put it?
Jim Buxton keeps his boat, Nomad, on a berth at Merrill's Wharf. In this story he shares his thoughts on Portland's changing waterfront and the importance of maritime work in Portland Harbor.
On the end of Merrill's Wharf on Portland's waterfront there's an empty lot. This is The Desert, where ground fishermen stretch out and mend their trawl nets.

Do Charles Dickens' words "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" describe your life? When my girls were young, I was hardly able to hold my head above water. I had a hyperactive family going at full speed, which meant the days could be busy…too busy. This was affecting my mood and the atmosphere of our home.
So often our tolerance level wears thin and we speak harsh words in the midst of crazy days. Very often, we do the exact opposite of Proverbs 19:11: "The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression." I got tired of thinking There has got to be more to life than this! Meaning there's got to be more to life than all my wheel-spinning, than my feeling rushed, and spending all the time and still not getting my life in order.
Godly patience shines the brightest when everything is falling apart around you. And that's what I desired. Friend, if you can relate, I want to encourage you. Put aside everything for a few moments to pray and pick one verse to read. God's Word will come to your rescue when you seek to walk with Him during trying times.
After your time of prayer and praise, put these steps into practice to help you have more order in life.
As you pray about living your life God's way and purpose to (by His great grace) be peace-filled, the following steps will pave the way for a better tomorrow.
Step 1: Determine when you must get up to make your day go the way you want and need it to go.
Step 2: Get to bed in time to get the rest you need before your getting-up time.
Step 3: Set your alarm—a good loud one, an obnoxious one!
Step 4: Pray. Ask for God's help to get up. Tell Him why it's important that you do. Rehearse your plans, purposes, commitments, and dreams for tomorrow with Him. Go ahead. He cares! After all, if they're good ones, they came from Him (Psalm 37:4-5).
Step 5: Purpose to get up…no matter what. Don't give in to your body. And don't worry about not getting enough sleep. It's only for one morning! Remember the adage: Mind over mattress!
Step 6: Praise God when you hear the alarm. Stand beside the psalmist and cry out with the dawn, "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24).
When life gets a bit frustrating with all there is to do, turn your tired soul heavenward. Let God calm you with His peace. Give thanks to God for what He has done in your life: "O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things." (Isaiah 25:1) Then walk in the Spirit's strength that allows you to remain calm in the chaos.
Dear Lord, right now I lift my eyes and my soul to You. I need to exhale and relax in Your presence. I know that in the midst of the chaos of my day, You are in control. Thank You for the comfort, peace, and patience I find in You— calm in the midst of chaos. Amen.

Be sure you are asking the right questions because everything costs extra. While on a site visit last week with our client we were able to save our clients money by asking the simple question "how much?". It is easy to say yes to using the venue's power bars and extension cords for your trade show vendors but each of those cost extra and if you didn't account for that expense in your budget then it is coming out of your pocket. Julia talks about how important it is to ask how much everything costs.


Following the results of 9 months 2012 the generating capacities of PJSC "Centrenergo" continue to hold the leading positions concerning the electricity production parameters. The Company's power plants have produced 13.754 million kWh of electricity that by 31,6 % exceeds the parameter of the same period of 2011. The electric power output to consumers has made 12.624 million kWh. The electricity production market share within the sector of thermal generation for 9 months of the current year has grown up to 23,2 % and in the total volume of the Ukrainian generation has made 9,4 %.
The installed capacity utilization factor has a steady trend to grow and makes 27,5 % in the accounting period. For January - September the specific consumption of conditional fuel for electricity production have made 395,5 g/kWh that by 5,5g/kWh below the last year's parameters.
The improvement of performance indicators has allowed to increase the volume of commodity energy output up to 6.919,4 million UAH that exceeds the relevant figures of the last year by 1.777,7 million UAH.
In comparison with the same period of 2011 PJSC "Centrenergo" has increased the product sales income by 34,5 % up to 8.301 million UAH from 6.168 million UAH in the last year.
The commodity output profitability for 9 months 2012 has made +10,74 % that by 0,74 % more than in the year-earlier period. The cost of goods sold makes 49,1 kopecks/kW, including the fuel component has made 40,71 kopecks/kW compared to 43,01 kopecks/kW in 2011. It became possible due to decrease of basic price of the coal delivered to the Company's power plants by State Enterprise "Coal of Ukraine".
The achieved results of economic activity will allow to approach confidently the implementation of strategic objectives on development of production and the process of modernization and reconstruction of the power engineering equipment at the Company's thermal power plants which is coming to an active stage since 2013. Due to the reconstruction the life time of the main process equipment will be prolonged, the installed capacity of the power units will be increased and the basic technical and economic parameters will be improved.

REDLANDS, Calif. – The No. 6 UC Santa Barbara men's water polo team picked up a pair of victories on Saturday afternoon after rallying in the second half to top No. 20 Pomona-Pitzer 13-8, before cruising past Occidental 22-4 at the Inland Empire Tournament hosted by Redlands.
Facing the No. 1 ranked Division III team, and No. 20 overall according to the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Rankings, the Gauchos and Sagehens found themselves deadlocked 7-7 at the half. UCSB ramped up its defense in the second half, limiting Pomona-Pitzer to just one goal while holding them scoreless in the third quarter. The Gauchos added two scores in the third and four in the fourth to pull away and secure the win.
Ivan Gvozdanovic paced the scoring attack with four goals while Reed Cotterill tallied three in his season debut. Adam Lott tacked on a pair while Cole Brosnan, Shane Hauschild, Boris Jovanovic and Mitch Young each scored one goal apiece. In the cage, Connor Macdonald recorded four saves.
The second game of the afternoon was a total team effort as 13 different Gauchos scored a goal to throttle past the Tigers. UCSB jumped out to a 10-1 lead at the half and added seven goals in the third and five more in the fourth.
Lott and Jesse Morrison led the way with three goals apiece while Brosnan, Jovanovic, Young, Jack Bignell and Chad Nelson all came through with two goals. Also contributing goals were Josh Jordan, Jacob Halle, Max Schaum, Blake Spiller, Spencer Wood and Gvozdanovic.
Defensively, Macdonald logged three saves and Justyn Barrios sent a pair of shots away from the goal while adding a team-high three assists. Mason Mcquet picked up four steals to lead the team while Cotterill came up with three and Morrison and Bignell each recorded a pair.
