Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Brings Awareness of Hepatitis B to the East Coast
(An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man)
DOYLESTOWN, PA (June 2008) – The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey beginning on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ending in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!
John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.
John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.
Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John.
John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.
Sponsors of the Cycling Tour include NutriSystem, CP Commercial Printing, Monster Graphics, Bikes Plus (Pensacola, Fla.), Fox Rothschild LLP, High Swartz LLP, Newman’s Own Organic, Clif Bars, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

If you aren't a car geek feel free to ignore this photo... LOL
If you are though... *wink*
Identification might look straight forward, but the car on the right is quite unusual, can't say I've seen one before...
The one spot I notice on the difference between the US and Japanese version of Optimus Prime Leader Class figure. Which one is more movie accurate? Or does it matter? What do you think?

If you could have seen Alfred (Tommy back then) when he was with WT, you may have glimpsed right over this cutie at the picnic because this was not the dog I knew. There was a dog smiling, wagging his tail, and making attempts to play with other dogs. I remember a horribly scared and abused dog who was afraid to walk on a leash and never, ever kept his head up when you were talking to him.
A rescued dog can make so many transformations in life and I'm glad I get to be there in the beginning.

Equipment changed over the years since the Cardinals first took the field in the late 1800's. Compare these things from before 1930 to those from the 1950's. Earlier, the shirts exposed less skin and the gloves had less of a pocket. By the 50's, people realized that a lighter, quicker bat drove the ball further than a heavier bat.
Servite High School's 6th Annual Gala: Staging the Difference took place on Saturday, February 7 at the Anaheim Hilton. Thank you to the Gala co-chairs, the Gala committee, event sponsors and all those who attended the event. It was a night filled with dinner, dancing and lots of fun.
Obviously. You would think an F5 would beat out a IIIa any day of the week. But it's not as clear cut as that. For instance, if I'm walking around all day I'd just as soon pick up a rangefinder since I can take 2 cameras and 3 lenses for less weight than an SLR and one lens. For fast action it's the F5 no questions asked. But all that speed and auto-everything comes with a price, namely a tendency to cede control of your photography to a CPU instead of your own head.
the Heaux Agnes skin give this head a soft color without looking over done. The nose is soft and tilited with the shading in just the right areas Not too overblown
As stated light was picked up at an auto recyclers. Treated with glassylite and then tinted light blue with crystalite.

One difference is the mounting for the number plate, actually in common with the Roadmaster one there are three holes but instead of the CD200 one above two there are two above one if you understand, making a triangle. So you can only use two of the three mounting points. Now someone might say well drill a hole, but if you did that it would be through the tunnel the wiring goes through. You take you choices, two mounts and the wiring is protected in the tunnel, or three mounts and do something else with the wiring. I choose to use the tunnel.
This ride was my first experience with the feeling that "I'm not at Disney World anymore." This is the Mad Tea Party in Fantasyland. Do you notice anything odd about it? ... It doesn't have a roof! Open to the elements here. I guess California doesn't get Florida's crazy rain.
For this image, I punched up the saturation to bring out the colours, and darkened the highlights to dim the reflections a bit. Pretty colourful, isn't it?
In this video, you can see the difference in styles of search dogs between Rizzoli and Gunner, who was in the previous video. Rizzoli is more methodical and deliberate than Gunner, but both dogs seem to be asking, "I know that you know that this is where the subject is. If this is such an emergency, why don't you come over here, instead of me going back to you?"
It's a good question and if it were a real search, we would of course, do just that. However, the writers of K-9 search policy feel that since the dogs might be out of sight and out of hearing range when they make the find, they need to be able to communicate to the handlers when they come back to them, that they have found the subject. Therefore, it is a requirement that the dog come all the way back to the handler, do its trained alert, then lead the handler back to the subject, in order to pass the certification tests.
Both videos look pretty good here on Flickr, but you have to sacrifice a lot of quality in order to meet the requirements for posting, and they are not indicative of the quality of the videos as they come out of the Canon 5D Mark ii. Straight out of the camera, they are true 1080P and they are spectacular, especially on a large screen. I haven't played them on my HDTV, yet, but my guess is that they'll be even better than on my computer monitor.
Anyone can make a difference! Local youth attended the Rising Voices Youth Summit at the newly renovated Flowing Wells Library on Saturday, April 13, 2019 to find out how to get involved with leadership in the library and the community. Youth leaders will presented about how they have made a difference in the community, each in their own way.
Attendees participated in personalized leadership activities and consulted about how Pima County Public Library and the community can further support youth voice and leadership. They networked with peers and found out about opportunities to get involved as a leader in the Tucson community.

Like I said, I find curves and circles all over, where I least expect.
Some fill me with wonder, some really make me smile...
Thanks for viewing, M, (*_*)
