This week Creamie Land was filled with both joy and sorrow. Marc shared with us his sadness and memories with the recent passing of his Grandmother. She was a great woman whose legacy will live on through her family and the people's lives she touched. On the flip side, Wendy had visitors from down under. After nearly a decade she was reunited with her brother Peter and his wife Jill. Truly it was a weekend to remember with wine, stories of the farm, and a replenished supply of clip on koalas. Everyone, please give your family an extra hug this holiday season. You won't regret it!
In Loving Memory of Mary L. Marconi

The popular play spawned a holiday themed sequel, and a revised version became the most honored offering at the 2004 National Gay & Lesbian Theatre Festival, taking honors as Best Ensemble Cast, Best Director, Best New Play, and Best of the Festival.

The group includes Volkswagen Golf's, Ford Focus's and Toyota Auris's, some of Ireland's most favourite cars.

Our fleet has a wide range of cars in all car groups and our staff will do their utmost to provide you with your car preference.

Beijing Olympics play again on NBC
Bob Costas, Matt Lauer to host a look backNEW YORK -- NBC will relive some of its finest hours of 2008 with a primetime special about the Beijing Olympics on Dec. 27.
The two-hour "Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony: TV Event of the Year" will be hosted by Bob Costas and Matt Lauer, who were the co-hosts when it aired in August. Lauer and Costas also will highlight some of the biggest moments from the Olympics, including the record-breaking performance of American swimmer Michael Phelps.
And there also will be a look forward at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, which NBC will also broadcast.
Primetime slots are nothing new to Costas -- he anchors NBC's Olympics coverage as well as "Football Night in America" every Sunday night in the fall -- but it's staying up late for Lauer. On Monday on NBC, he and the "Today" crew will take a look back at 2008. It's the first time in 13 years that "Today" has had an hour in primetime.

3. Cooking

1 Day Tour Around Historical Sites in Kyoto
Tokie is a fantastic guide and strolling around with her in Kyoto is a special experience: you can admire all the best sights and wonders of the city, chatting as with an old friend for hours that pass quickly!
We also have lunch together in a small delicious typical restaurant: without her we would certainly have made a wrong choice!
Kyoto is the real beating heart of Japan, the oldest and full of history part of its: it should be a shame not to discover it without Tokie!
1 Day Tour Around Historical Sites in Kyoto
We had a walk with Tokie around a number of sites.
Tokie was extremely knowledgeable, spoke great English and was on eof the friendliest guide we could have asked for.
I would heartily recommend a day out with her.
Tokie was very flexible in allowing us to tailor the day to suit our needs and offererd recommendations both for the day and the rest of our stay.

'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr al-Kalbi

|Wellknown Relatives
|Umm Wahb
|Place(s) of Residence
|Cause ofDeath/Martyrdom
|He was martyred in the event of Karbala
|Burial Place
|Holy Shrine of Imam al-Husayn (a), Karbala
|Participating in the Event of Ashura
ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmayr al-Kalbī (Arabic: عبدالله بن عُمَير الكَلبي) was a martyr in the Event of Karbala. When he learned that the army of Kufa was departing to Karbala to fight with Imam al-Husayn (a), he and his wife, Umm Wahb, left Kufa to join the army of Imam al-Husayn (a). They both were martyred on the Day of Ashura. According to Muhammad b. Jarir al-Tabari, 'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr was the second martyr in Imam al-Husayn (a)'s army.
Name and Lineage
'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr was from the Banu 'Ulaym tribe. In some sources, his name is said to be Wahb b. 'Abd Allah al-Kalbi, and in others, it is mentioned as Wahb b. Junab or Hubab.
Joining Imam al-Husayn (a)
According to Abu Mikhnaf, 'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr saw people of Kufa preparing themselve for a battle in Nukhayla. He asked them about what was going on, and they replied: "We are going to fight with al-Husayn, the son of Fatima al-Zahra (a), the daughter of the Prophet (s)". He said: "I swear to God that I ws looking forward to fighting with polytheists, and I hope the reward for fighting people who intend to fight with their Prophet (s)'s son is no less than fighting with polytheists".
He went to his wife then, and told her the story and let her know about his intention to join Imam al-Husayn (a). Umm Wahb said: "God has led you to a good path. Do this and take me with you". 'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr and his wife went out of Kufa over night and joined Imam al-Husayn (a)'s army.
Day of Ashura
On the Day of Ashura, 'Umar b. Sa'd threw an arrow to Imam al-Husayn (a)'s army and thus the battle began. Yasar, Ziyad b. Abi Sufyan's emancipated slave, and Salim, 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad's emancipated slave, went to the battlefield and asked for rivals. Habib b. Muzahir and Burayr b. Khudayr wanted to go and fight with them, but Imam al-Husayn (a) told them to stay. At this time, 'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr who had a muscular body and strong arms asked for Imam al-Husayn (a)'s permission to fight with them. The Imam (a) gave him the permission. When he went to the battlefield, he was asked: "who are you?" He introduced himself. They said: "We do not know you. Zuhayr b. Qayn or Habib or Burayr should come to fight us". He told Yasar who was closer to him: "these people are superior to you and they will not fight with you". He then attacked and killed him. At this time, Salim attacked 'Abd Allah. Imam al-Husayn (a)'s soldiers shouted and tried to alert 'Abd Allah about Salim's attack, but 'Abd Allah did not notice until Salim approached him and hit him with his sword. 'Abd Allah tried to prevent the strike with his left hand and so his fingers were cut. Then 'Abd Allah attacked Salim and killed him with one strike.
Then his wife, Umm Wahb, took a baton and went to him. 'Abd Allah asked her to go back to the camp, but she took her husband's clothes and told him: "I will not leave you unless I am martyred with you". At this time, Imam al-Husayn (a) called her and said: "May God give you a great reward on behalf of Ahl al-Bayt (a). Go back (may God have His mercy on you) and sit with women, since it is not obligatory for women to fight". So she went back to women in camps.
On the Day of Ashura before noon, Shimr b. Dhi l-Jawshan, who was the commander of the left wing of the army of Kufa, attacked Imam al-Husayn (a)'s army with his soldiers. At this time, Hani b. Thubayt and Bukayr b. Hayy al-Taymi attacked 'Abd Allah b. 'Umayr and martyred him. According to al-Tabari, he was the second martyr in Imam al-Husayn's (a) army.
Umm Wahb's Martyrdom
After 'Abd Allah's martyrdom, his wife, Umm Wahb, went to his corpse and wiped out dusts and dirt from his head and face, and said: "May the Heaven be pleasant to you". At this time, Shimr b. Dhi l-Jawshan told his servant, Rustam, to hit the woman's head with a baton. He did so and Umm Wahb was martyred. She is said to be the first martyred woman in the Event of Karbala.

Tyrese Gibson and the bosses of Furious 7 led dedications to late actor Paul Walker before his last movie debuted at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival.
Walker died in a car crash in 2013 before filming on the latest Fast & Furious installment was finished, and studio bosses delayed production to rework the story. His brothers, Cody and Caleb, later stepped in to help complete Walker's scenes.
Furious 7 finally premiered shortly after midnight on Monday (16Mar15) as a last minute addition to the line-up at the festival in Austin, Texas. Gibson, director James Wan and producer Neal Moritz took to the stage before the screening to thank fans for their continued support, before dedicating the movie to their late friend.
According to Variety.com, Gibson said, "We don't look at y'all as fans of the movie... Most of you grew up with us... The reason we kept the movie going is on behalf of our brother Paul Walker."
Moritz added, "I know Paul Walker would be smiling down on us... We lost a dear friend, brother and comrade when we were making this movie. When we decided to continue this movie, we were determined to honour his legacy."
The film ends with a tribute to the actor.

Poems from the NICE/Poetry Reading:
by Louikenson Paul
I'm a fast, unbreakable lion;
I feel free most when I'm running or lifting something heavy.
I'm yellow cause I feel freedom from everything
I am strong because it's somewhere I can feel free, think things really deep.
I just don't like technology that much;
I am Africa because that is where most lions are.
My family is from Haiti;
I am energetic and I love participating in sports.
I'm a watermelon, juicy and hard on the outside, soft on the inside.
I am Thanksgiving because of family, joy, and feelings.
I'm a bicycle because I'm fast and free as a lion.
The reason I chose a lion was that's the way my family comes together;
it expresses us and how we think and make decisions.
Louikenson Paul: Louikenson is 13 years old, and a 9th grader at Brien McMahon High School. He grew up in Haiti with his mom. In 2013, Louikenson moved to Norwalk with his father. He enjoys playing football and soccer in his free time.

Shadow Notes: A Clara Montague Mystery
From Amazon:
Clara Montague didn't want to go home to Connecticut for Christmas. Her mother Constance never seemed to like her—or her intuitive dreams about the people she loved. Clara tried to warn her mother that her father was about to have a heart attack, but Constance wouldn't listen—and her father died.
Now living in Europe, Clara dreams her mother is in terrible danger, and can't ignore it. Shortly after she returns, her mother's therapist (and former lover) Hugh Woodward is murdered—and Constance is jailed for the crime.

Kaylyn Huval: What led to a junior high school teacher sexually preying on a 15 year old boy? Victim has outstanding lawsuit against school district.
Kaylyn Huval a 28 year old former junior high school teacher from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana has pled guilty to having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy, according to St. Martin Parish prosecutors.
A report via KATC-TV quoted Assistant District Attorney Chester Cedars saying Kaylyn Huval pleaded guilty to one count of carnal knowledge of a juvenile.
The concession comes after the woman was teaching at Cecilia Junior High when she allegedly became physically involved with the 15-year-old boy. Huval was arrested in March 2015. During investigations the youth told that the sex was done with consent.
The television stations reports that she was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but that was suspended and she was given five years of supervised probation.

Cedars told as part of her punishment, Kaylyn Huval must get sex offender counseling, not be allowed to be around any juveniles other than family members along with having to pay court costs plus a fine of $2,500. The woman must also now register as a sex offender, and cannot teach again.
Of question is what motivated the teacher to abuse her position of trust and authority and usurp subordinate control over the younger man? Unless as some have come to wonder, that in part was the thrill and desire of the teacher's predatory behavior?
The teacher's punishment comes according to a report via nola after the mother of the teen victim filed a lawsuit against the school system alleging that the sexual contact caused her son to suffer mental and emotional problems.
The lawsuit claims Huval 'would create situations and scenarios in which she would keep the minor student in the classroom after the other students in the class were dismissed' for 'sexual activity which included … acts of touching, kissing, hugging, all the way up to acts of oral and sexual intercourse.'
Not necessarily understood is the extent of the emotional and psychological damage incurred by the victim, whose name was not released to the media during proceedings, as commentators on the web criticized the child for reporting the 'hot' teacher.

UPDATE (4:45 p.m.): Manhunt spokesman Jeff Dorta says that Manhunt's Facebook page was restored this afternoon.
NEW YORK — Gay social networking site Manhunt says it has been kicked off Facebook and is asking fans to send "polite requests" to the mainstream social network so that its fan page can be restored.
Manhunt operators say that the Manhunt Facebook fan page was removed three weeks ago and that the company has attempted to get it placed back up, but Facebook administrators now aren't replying to them after initial correspondence.
"None of the admins on our page received any sort of warning or message explaining why, how long it would be down for, etc.," Manhunt's J Harvey said. "It was just gone, and it still is."
Harvey went on to say that its Facebook page is wildly popular and that the company is "at a loss" over what happened.
"If this was just a paltry amount of fans, we could just start over," Harvey said. "But we have/had 174,000-plus 'likes' on our Facebook page. We worked very hard on making it a page our readers wanted to check out every day, and the numbers reflected that."
Harvey has asked Manhunt followers to help them out by making "polite requests" to Facebook through its feedback form or passing along Facebook contact info if they have some personal connection to the company.
"We are willing to bow and scrape before the mighty FB gods to get our page back. We miss it, and we think our members do too," Harvey said.
In the meantime, Harvey said, Manhunt fans can follow action on Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, Google+ and Pinterest.
"It's true — we're everywhere. Except Facebook *sad face*," he said.

AGA Rental Car Mazatlan Mexico and Mangos Bar, Acapulco
Looking for a cool night in red-hot Mexico? Look no further thanMangos Bar. Mangos is one of Acapulco's top discos and is a favorite stop for AGA rental cars in Mazatlan Mexico costumers. Mangos is famous for having great music and videos in a laid-back environment. Located in Acapulco's golden zone, there's always something going on in and around Mangos. Unlike other crazy Acapulco bars, Mangos offers a more relaxed and adult friendly atmosphere. Pull up a chair, grab an ice cold drink, listen to the music, and enjoy your night.
A treat for the eyes and ears
At most bars, you're forced to listen to the same old hip-hop and dance music over and over. When you visit Mangos with AGA rental cars in Mazatlan Mexico, expect something different. Mangos plays an eclectic mix of pop and rock music from yesterday and today. Why not sing along or get up and dance? One unique feature of Mangos is that it not only plays outstanding music, but the bar broadcasts videos for the songs on its many television screens. When you visit Mangos with AGA Rental Cars in Mazatlan Mexico, get ready for a fun filled evening.
Start or Finish your night at Mangos
Have a few drinks to start your night or claim a table and stay a while. Mangos is the perfect place to start your night. Sit down with friends and enjoy a cold beverage before heading to the disco. Mangos is located at the center of Acapulco's nightlife scene and is the ideal place to start your night on the town. Stroll down the beach at La Condesa and get intoMangos Bar. If you're not interested in the crazy atmosphere at most Acapulco discos, Mangos is a great place to spend your entire evening. With no cover charge, and delicious food, it makes sense to stay at Mangos. Mangos Bar is also widely known for having extremely friendly and helpful staff.
Beware of sharks
Even though Mangos is located directly on the beach, it isn't the sharks in the water you should be aware of. Mangos is one of the only pub style Bars in Acapulco's golden zone. That being said, Mangos is also one of the only bars in the area featuring pool tables. Beware of pool sharks as you try your luck on the table. Offered free of charge, you can play pool in the basement of Mangos. When you travel with AGA Rental Cars in Mazatlan Mexico, enjoy your evening filled with good drinks, food, friends, and pool at Mangos Bar.
Hints for a great evening at Mangos
• Arrive early: Mangos features a maximum capacity of 300, which by Acapulco standards is relatively small. If you want a good table, or a spot at the bar, arrive early. A good rule is to show up before 10pm to have any hope of claiming a table.
• Plan ahead: Don't leave yourself in a bad situation when you drive with AGA Rental Cars in Mazatlan Mexico. Plan for your night and don't drink and drive. From many Acapulco hotels, Mangos is only a short walk or taxi ride. If you still choose to drive, please have a designated driver.
• Dress comfortably: Unlike the many swanky, socially elite clubs in Acapulco, Mangos is a place that you can dress comfortably and casually. Enjoy the climate inside your AGA rental cars in Mazatlan Mexico vehicle and the air conditioning inside Mangos.
• Travel with AGA rental cars in Mazatlan Mexico: If you don't speak the language and don't know where you're going, Mexico can be a difficult country to navigate. However, when you travel with AGA rental cars in Mazatlan Mexico you have a team of friendly employees to support you.

Min is a project management software designed for creative teams and visual thinkers, so it was important that the interface of Min reflects its brand values; creativity, simplicity, intelligence, fun. In essence, Min is about minimalist UI, minute tracking and minimal input — it's smart and intuitive to use. The design brings together a highly contemporary palette and Matisse-inspired illustrations with data-driven dashboards and gantt chart-style visualizations.
The interface of the tool is designed to expedite project planning by cutting down manual user input. Project details can quickly be entered through a spreadsheet-like grid (a tool that project managers often resort to for its straightforward layout and reliable speed) which auto-completes the schedule and budget information based on the team's availability and capacity. The data visualizations update dynamically and ensure managers always know the status of their agency projects, and can forecast outcomes without running tedious reports.

|Blogging Like I've Never Blogged Before
I changed this for you, Rich.
This is a Flickr badge showing public photos from mike toole. Make your own badge here.
Friday, July 28, 2006
It's been a while since anyone has asked me how old I was. Or am. I'm old.
So I realized last Sunday night that the most depressing place on earth at 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday is Newark Penn Station. Sure, you might say something like, "I bet Lebanon right now is a little more depressing. Or maybe the Harrison PATH station." Maybe, but I doubt it.
Newark Penn Station is the worst. No matter what time. I've never been somewhere that no matter what is going on, no matter what time it is, I always feel like I am about to be stabbed. It just has that Imminent Stabbing feeling about it.
I was getting off of the Amtrak train from DC and it's just one of those places. I was waiting for the Amtrak guy to say, "Next stop, Newark! And just so you know, I will be stabbing you when you exit the train." And then I bought a water and some Doritos, and I anticipated the guy there to be like, "OK, your change is $1.35, and if you don't mind, I am going to stab you in the spleen." Then I'd be like, "Ow, that's my neck, motherfucker!" And he'd be all, "Neck, spleen, whatever. Have a good trip."
Tuesday, July 25, 2006
It then made me imagine that somewhere, someone got that email, and it happened to be the truth. Then I got a little sad. Poor guy. Probably sitting at his computer at 4:51 A.M. in his underwear while his wife was in the bedroom spooning the vibrator. Then I imagined that birthday. He was probably wearing a party hat, his wife had just blown out the candles on her Entenmann's cake, then she opened up her gift. "Oh honey, this is awkward. Why would you get me this?"
Then he would sigh, slump his shoulders and say, "It's because of my hopeless Erectile Dysfunction. Please note that the E and D should be capitalized. I love you."
Stupid spam email. Making me think about sad things.

I would like to see them do one for Jodie Foster.
"At 13 I was a teenage prostitute. At 26 I was gang raped on a pool table. Then when I was 29 I went to visit this cannibal in a jail, but on my way to see him, some dude threw his jiz on my face. And when I was 32, I was in Nell. My life. My card. American Express."

I would like complete control over my board. So I have set up my own board over at Flickr. It isn't complete. This is just the start. It's going to be a huge board. Tania told me this is pretty morbid, which I guess it is, but I am just helping out my loved ones. No one likes planning funerals. I am just making it a little easier.
Here are some favorites.
This one has already been blogged about. Sort of. It's of Rich and I receiving tickets for open containers. How awesome is it that Rich is wearing a lei? I'd say pretty awesome.
This is me clicking my heels at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missoura. My sister and I were waiting for friends of hers, so we took a lot of pictures of each other doing things in front of the Silver Dollar City sign.
This is of my friend Rick and I in Telluride, Colorado. A bunch of us rented a house there for the week, and Rick and I had to share a bed. We are very close. Anyway, they had all these books in the room, and these two gigantic Adolf Hitler books. We thought it would be funny if we got a picture of us reading them in bed. I think it was kinda funny. Nice beard, right?
So I am a little bored tonight and I've been playing around with my blog and with Flickr. You can see the little Flickr thing to the left there. So now you can click on it and see all of my photos. Like this past Friday where I decided to go on a hike in really hot weather. I was sweating like my dad. Seriously. My dad can sweat.
That's Jill, raising the fucking roof. We thought because we saw a flag that we had reached the summit. That's why we are so happy. Little did we know that we would be doing lots more climbing. It was seriously the most difficult hike I have ever done. Lots of climbing up rocks. I thought I was going to die. Luckily, I didn't. Otherwise I would have had no creative control over my funeral board.
I read some other blogs that I haven't read in a while. And as usual, BlabberMouse had me laughing quite a bit. Especially with her description of giving birth:
And while some women have described natural childbirth as �a miraculous and overwhelming wave sensation,� I�d liken it more to �Satan in a mesh trucker hat, driving an 18-wheeler out of your asshole. Sideways. In an electrical storm.� Only much more painful.
Oh, one more thing. I also realized that I had those Greatest Hits over there on the left, which haven't been updated in about two years. If anyone has any favorites they'd like to see added, I might update that shit. So email me if you have a favorite or two.
Thursday, July 13, 2006
So when I went to Colorado with Tania last year, our relationship was still kind of new. Certain boundaries hadn't yet been crossed. But spend a week driving around together, and well, boundaries go out the window and into the mountain air.
On our second day in Colorado, we are about to go on a pretty long drive. My stomach, however, is in no condition to go on a long drive. I don't know what was wrong with me. It hurt like hell. I had never felt this kind of pain in my stomach before. I went to a supermarket and stood in front of the stomach remedies for about five minutes where nothing really seemed to describe my symptoms. I needed a drug that said, "For when you feel like you are about to give birth to an alien baby with spikes."
I went to the bathroom a few times, with no results. My friend Rich calls that balking. I balked.
I decided I would just suck it up and start driving. I think I bought some Tums or something. The problem with just driving is that we were about to head out on a drive through a place called Grand Mesa. I'd never been, but my guess was going to be that there wouldn't be many bathrooms along the way, just in case.
So we start driving, heading into the middle of nowhere, my contractions about 5 minutes apart.
I don't know if it was moving into the higher altitude, but the urge hit me to pass some gas. Now, at this point, I had not farted in front of Tania (at least none that she knew about). But I had no choice. It was silent, so I thought maybe I'd get away with it. But then I realized about .000000000001 seconds after I did it, that she would most definitely know about it, and she would know too much.
I've never smelled a fart so fast and so bad. It was horrendous. So right after it happened, I said to Tania, "Well, the good news is I feel better..."
And before I could even tell her the bad news, she got the bad news. She pretty much had her head out the window trying to suck in as much Colorado air as she could. She was laughing and gasping and not believing I was capable of such a thing. As we drove by, I think I saw trees dying and a couple of cows were like, "Oh dude, was that you?"

I will even volunteer to teach the class, because when it comes to flushing my shit down the toilet, I am second to none. There are people in my office, though, who don't seem to have my shit flushing skills. It would be a really quick class.
"OK, so let's say you've just finished your shit and you've wiped and you are ready to head back to work. Instead of just pulling up your pants and leaving the stall, what you should be doing is pushing down on this little silver lever. What's going to happen is your shit will spin around a couple of times, begin to sink, and then it goes down that hole into the plumbing system. Where it goes from there, I don't really know, nor do I care to know. But what's most important here is that's where it belongs. Don't leave it sitting there. Any questions?"
It's seriously a problem lately. I can't understand why people wouldn't want to flush their shit. Maybe they just leave it there to taunt those who might be constipated and are trying to shit.
Anyway, it's been bothering me. And I'm sure the cleaning lady isn't crazy about it either. So if you read this and you work with me and you don't like flushing your poo, please flush your poo.

MIKE TOOLE'S WORLD CUP SURVIVAL* GUIDE (for 2010)
Since we Americans aren't so much into the soccer (foreigners call it "basketball"), I thought I'd help you out with a few tips for when you are watching the action at your local bar (or "pub" which is what foreigners call it).
- Whenever there is a lull in the match, yell out, "Bend it like Beckham!" Yell this at least seven times per half.
- If someone kicks a ball wide or if it gets saved, say to someone nearby like you know what you are talking about, "He should have bent it like Beckham," or "I think Beckham would have bent that. Kind of like this." Then do an impression of a ball being bent.
- All conversation should revolve around Beckham bending it.
* These survival tips will surely get you killed.
So I did really try to get World Cup fever. I asked Europeans to cough on me in hopes of getting said fever, but I merely got a chill. Maybe a little headache. Some matches were very exciting and fun to watch, but it's hard for me to get behind a sport where the ULTIMATE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE FUCKING WORLD is decided by something as ridiculous as penalty kicks. I can make a penalty kick against a world class goalie, I am sure of that. It's a guessing game. Guy goes to kick ball, goalie guesses which way to dive, guy kicks ball almost always into the net, goalie shakes head. They might as well decide the championship by playing Guess Which Hand The Marble Is In.
Or arm wrestling. I'd watch that. Or the referee should just say, "OK, I'm thinking of a number..."
Anything other than penalty kicks. Maybe a head butting contest. France would win. I can't imagine a situation where I would want to head butt someone. Other than my girlfriend while we sleep. But that is the only situation.

this guy. I believe when I bring it up in conversation, I refer to him as the dude with the tracheotomy.by mike 7/05/2006
He is always on, either in his house cleaning out his hole with a Q-Tip (which I took a picture of as well, but it was really gross to post up here), or being a buzz kill at the community pool talking about how he can never swim again.
I don't smoke, so I can't say whether or not it is effective advertising. I know it freaked me out at first, but the more I watch these ads, the more entertaining they become. For example, you can still hear his accent. I didn't ever know that accents would transfer through a trach box. Like when he says "again," he still has a Hispanic accent. He says it "a-gain."
I would also like to know if they planned the ad at the pool, or they just crashed there one day to freak out kids. "OK, kids. For the next hour or so, there will be a man walking around with a hole in his neck. But don't be scared. Just keep splashing each other and play in the pool. But don't get any water in his neck hole, because he will die. Aaannnd, action!"
After reading more of that article, I guess he has appeared in other markets, so he has been around.
Oh, when we were talking about this at work fairly recently, a smoking co-worker said that her mom called her to tell her about the ads. She agreed that it was gross, but wasn't ready to quit smoking. She said, "It's only one guy."
So that gave me a brilliant idea. Get a ton of tracheotomy patients, like 100, and put them all in one ad. Don't just show them cleaning their holes or walking around pools, but make a choir out of them. Have them in a concert hall, Carnegie if it's available, then have them sing. How creepy would that be? No musical accompaniment. Just them singing a very cheery song, like "Wouldn't it be Nice?"
So imagine 100 patients with those boxes singing that song. Now imagine you are 7 years old when you see it. Nothing will ever be the same again.
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy
Wouldn't it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

Lindsey Ogle stomped off "Survivor" because "I can't have someone antagonizing me anymore," she cried to Jeff Probst at night on the beach. She was referring, of course, to Trish Hegarty, who went all gonzo on her when they returned from tribal council.
Some witnesses may think Lindsey started the fight because she fumed to her tribal partners, "You all screwed up majorly!" after they voted Cliff Robinson off Cagayan. She and Cliff had been BFF, so she was understandably upset. At least Lindsey didn't counter by attacking the others in a vicious personal way.
But that's what Trish did when she lashed out in response. "Let me make this clear to you moving forward," she growled at Lindsey. "I will respect you but I don't like you!"
Huh? It's obvious that Trish had no respect at all for Lindsey and was burying a hatchet in her heart. But why? Why didn't Trish offer to console Lindsey during her grieving process instead? Trish's substitute cruelty only invited retaliation and, worse, escalation.
Make your 'Survivor' predictions – Click Here
"You disgust me!" Lindsey replied. "Everything about you is annoying – your laugh, your teeth, your face. I think you're terrible. I think you may be the most horrific person I ever met in my entire life!"
Yes, Lindsey obviously went too far, but – let's be honest — she was initially pushed by Trish. Lindsey was tired, hungry and upset by the loss of her pal Cliff. Let's show some compassion, eh? Or no?
OK, who do you side with? Yes, you must take sides.

In October this year the ice palace will be tested by the Russian sportsmen during the Figure Skating Federation Cup.
In the course of technical connection of the consumer two cable lines 10 kv will be stretched to reserve cells of switchgears 10 kv Ice Palace and the substation Imeretinskaya. To enable technological connection the ice Palace will have to fulfill a number of technical conditions: to equip the object with metering devices, relay protection and automation, as well as by the automatic process control system.
Olympic objects belong to a specific group of energy consumers, for the technological connection of which it is necessary to have two independent sources of power supply and a reserve diesel substation. This is why the Ice Sports Palace will be supplied with electricity from the new substations 110 kv Ice Palace and 110 kv Imeretinskaya, as well as from the upgraded substation 220 kv Psou.
The Federal Grid Company is carrying out the construction and reconstruction of 33 power grid facilities to provide the power supply during the Olympic Games -2014 in compliance with the terms set by the International Olympic Committee and the Federal Special Purpose Program "Development of the city of Sochi as a mountain climate resort".
During the Olympic Games 2014 the Ice Palace Iceberg will host the figure skating and short-track competitions. The palace has a seating capacity of 12 thousand people.

Prominent journalists and anti-Brexit campaigners are circulating a misleadingly edited interview featuring UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage – implying he supports violence – following the murder of Jo Cox.
The short clip – cut from qualifying statements and lifted out of context – has been uploaded onto an anti-Brexit Facebook page, receiving more than 150,000 views.
"Terrifying video of Nigel Farage talking about violence being the 'next step' if we don't vote to leave the EU", reads the caption.
The clip has also been tweeted by the anti-white racist blogger Sunny Hundal, whose blog partner Laurence Durnan is now running a fringe 'Remain' campaign group, and the editor of Politics.co.uk Adam Bienkov.
WHY should Brexiters be immune from criticism over their rhetoric? Here's Farage, recently, predicting violence pic.twitter.com/LdKYTtFJQL
— Sunny Hundal (@sunny_hundal) June 17, 2016
Nigel Farage last month: "If people feel that voting doesn't change anything, then violence is the next step" https://t.co/rDke4UhDXm
— Adam Bienkov (@AdamBienkov) June 16, 2016
The UKIP leader gave the interview on May 17th; the misleading clip was uploaded to Facebook on the same day; and former Labour party leadership contender Liz Kendall shared it on May 21st.
When the full interview is watched, it is clear Mr. Farage is making a point about how the lack of democratic consultation around the policies of mass migration could lead to an increase in extremism and even violence – rather than advocating violence, itself.
In the full interview, given to the BBC, Mr. Farage begins to denounce violence before being interrupted by the BBC interviewer, but concludes: "I feel it difficult to contemplate it happening here, but nothing is impossible".
The Facebook clip includes only the words: "It's legitimate to say that if people feel they've lost control completely, and we have lost control of our borders completely as members of the EU, and if people feel voting doesn't change anything, then violence is the next step".
"Piece of sh*t. There's blood on your hands too", commented one Bev Pearce. "This to me is almost incitement to hatred! What a scare mongering [sic] bit of scum", wrote Michael Dobbin.
Darren John Kerr added: "This image sums up why I voted #Remain: Not every Leave voter is a racist, but every racist will vote Leave."
Others disagreed. Robert Brown commented: "Don't like the bloke but this is taken out of context. What he is saying that people will revolt if they don't feel they are listened to or valued. Remember the riots in the 80s. It's all spin from both sides."
Cliff Woodworth wrote: "So many comments suggesting racism, bigotry and incitement. This clips [sic] contains none of that but instead demonstrates how effective crafty cutting of clips can lead to misunderstanding".
Since the tragic murder of Jo Cox MP on Thursday, the video has been shared and viewed many thousands of times more.
Mrs. Cox was a prominent campaigner for mass-migration and remaining in the EU. Immediately after her death, some 'Remain' campaigners, newspapers and even European Commissioners sought to link her stance on migration and the EU to her killing.
Overnight it became apparent that Mr. Mair – the alleged killer – had been a subscriber to the Springbok magazine. This was the first time any political links had been made with the man, whose neighbours had previously said had expressed no views on the subject.
Springbok magazine is a South African, anti-ANC, pro-"civilised-rule of Africa" outlet which has long been based out of London. Mr. Mair's subscription was cancelled ten years ago.
There is still no indication that Mr. Mair had any links or sympathies to Britain First or the Brexit campaign, though police are understood to be still questioning the man and attempting to establish his motive.

The ability of your hardwood floors contractor and also the wood you buy are a couple of big factors which make a big difference within the results of your hardwood floors project.
Based on your condition, various certifications and licenses might be needed. In Utah, an S490 license for wooden flooring contracting lets an expert legally install hardwoods which are pre-finished or incomplete. They can also sand, stain or finish existing hardwood floors.
To become certified, a test is needed and applicants should have a minimum of 2 yrs (previously ten years) of full-time experience.
Insurance in Utah may also be needed, with respect to the kind of business the contractor has. For instance, bond and insurance might be needed additionally to general liability, workers' compensation, and unemployment insurance.
Always ask potential contractors what licenses, insurances and bonds they hold, and obtain copies of documents.
Picking the right Contractor for Hardwood Floors
You should also make certain the contractor practical knowledge dealing with the kind of flooring you have selected, and they possess a reason behind preferring nailing lower or gluing hardwood, or a mix of the 2. Different forest respond to connecting differently, and also the width from the planks and placement of the house also really make a difference.
Ask the contractor what approach they believe is better. When they don't know which kind of flooring you would like, now's once they should ask! When you get a canned response like, "I usually nail lower flooring," that could be an indication that possibly they are not thinking about all factors of the floor equally, they cut corners or are uneducated around the variations.
With respect to the size the work (entire house, single room, etc.), you'll should also ask the contractor whether it's recommended that you temporarily re-locate. This really is more often than not essential for full-home projects.
The follow-up real question is, obviously, how lengthy will the work take. You won't want to be displaced for lengthy, and when moving-out is needed, any project is deserving of priority and become completed within a few days.
It does not take lengthy to place lower wood flooring, but removing existing floors and set-up could be labor-intensive. Bear in mind that the trustworthy contractor will need the flooring to acclimate in your house preferably as much as 1 week before installation to reduce excessive contracting and expanding publish-installation.
You are getting guarantees and warranties in the wood manufacturer, however your hardwood floors installer should also provide a guarantee. Such guarantees are exclusively for the caliber of the work they do, not for publish-installation scratches and dents that aren't the responsibility of the installer.
Guarantees can differ drastically, however a common time period is a year from installation. Get all promises on paper, signed and dated.
Much like researching the very best hardwood flooring, researching the very best hardwood floors contractors is essential. Take a look at reviews, meet personally if at all possible and believe in instincts. "You simply live once, however if you simply still do it, once is sufficient,Inch Mae West famously quipped. Exactly the same logic should be relevant to your hardwood floors installation.
Jen Stott is really a blogger and also the Internet Marketing Content Director at Be In your area Search engine optimization where she's enthusiastic about helping medium and small sized companies expand their presence online and realize unparalleled success. Speak to a trustworthy hardwood floors contractor in your town for expert installation.

Copy paper or rather photocopy papers has many call it, is one of the most consume paper in Kenya market by both printing forms, corporate world among other sectors. However, as many would agree it has been almost impossible to predict or have a constant photocopy papers prices in Kenya. This is because the prices of copy papers depreciate time to time and vice versa and often the prices of the copy papers are controlled by demand.
Supplier of photocopy papers in Kenya market on other hand has no fix prices for the papers. As when the prices changes, the supplier follow suite and adjust as well. After a few years of observation and experience of selling copy papers, i found the following model of prices to be true.
a) Photocopy papers prices – when demand is high
Wholesale per ream ksh 350 and retail between ksh 380 – 450
b) Photocopy papers prices – low season / when demand is low
Wholesale prices per ream ksh 280 -300 and retail ksh 320 -340
c) Best deal of photocopy paper
Ksh 200 – 250
Note; the prices may vary from supplier and the brand.

June Gloom?
I love grey days in California.
After getting drenched in sunlight, they make it feel ok to slow down.
My mind awakens as my body sits still.
The grey in Seattle felt oppressive and monotonous.
But here, it's refreshing to hide away when the sun ducks behind the clouds.

Actress Olivia Munn and her sports star boyfriend Aaron Rodgers have adopted a new puppy.
The couple has been dating for almost two years and after previously taking in a young dog, named Chance, Olivia and Aaron decided to add another member to their growing pet family.
Showing off the tiny pooch on Instagram.com, Olivia wrote, "Meet Frank Rodgers. Frankie for short. Mr. Frank for business meetings.
"SOOO much love to Sasha from @loveleorescue for rescuing this sweet pup. We are so excited to have a brother for Chance! #adoptdontshop".
She also revealed little Frankie had already joined social media by sharing the pup's new handle, "@FrankieRodgers12", while Chance gave a warm welcome to his new "brother" in a snap of the two new pals hanging out on his Instagram account.
"Welcome to the fam lil' bro," the picture was captioned.
Olivia has long supported animal rescue centres, and when she became a 'mum' to Chance in 2014, she encouraged fans to follow in her footsteps by adopting instead of buying dogs.
"To anyone looking to bring a dog into their world, please choose to rescue instead of buying," she posted on Instagram. "There are so many amazing dogs that need love and a home and are waiting for someone to rescue them."
While Olivia and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron are happy to add to their furry brood, the actress' mother, Kim Schmid, is eager for the couple to step up their relationship romantically and get engaged.
"All my brothers and sister, and my nieces and nephews - they can't wait for them to get married," Kim shared with Entertainment Tonight.
