Mikhail Gorbachev is famous—or notorious—for ending the Soviet Communist Party by seeking to reform it. The dilemma faced by Gorbachev is much on the mind of Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, as witnessed by two rather contradictory statements he made at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation last week.
The first was: "When calculating benefit, think of the benefit of the whole world." The motto comes from Chiang Ching-kuo, the former dictator of Taiwan who effectively oversaw the country's peaceful transition to democracy.
But if listeners were to imagine that Xi may be thinking of the same fate for the People's Republic of China, his other remark seemed to snuff that idea.
"China will absolutely not make an error on the fundamental question that would undermine the regime," Xi also said, on Oct. 7 at APEC in Indonesia. The "fundamental question," of course, is the continuance of the untrammelled rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
His actions back in China showed that well enough: throughout the Party, central level department heads, provincial leaders, and grassroots Party cells were all grouped together and made to watch a documentary about the collapse of the Soviet Communist Party and reflect on the lessons for their own Party.
Titled Marking 20 Years of the Demise of the Party and the Country in the Soviet Union, the documentary series—4 episodes of 40 minutes each—sets out in somber terms how the Soviet regime collapsed, and how the CCP could avoid such a demise.
The film was produced by the Central Propaganda Department and leading communist theoreticians in January of 2012. According to the Yanzhou Metropolis Daily, the film is meant to be the best prophylactic against any Gorbachevian tendencies in the CCP.
It opens with an admonition about Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the Soviet Union whose perestroika, or reform, policies in the 1980s are widely attributed as leading to the regime's downfall: "It must first be made clear that the word Gorbachev used for 'reform' actually means 'recreate' in Russian. The reforms pushed so assiduously by Gorbachev's leadership clique and the reforms during the new period in our country are different in their essence."
Elsewhere in the series Gorbachev is called "The traitor that destroyed the Soviet Communist Party!"
This is far from the first time that an initiative of this kind has been undertaken. David Shambaugh, a professor of Chinese politics at George Washington University, writes in his 2009 book China's Communist Party: Atrophy and Adaptation that the demise of the Soviet Union, as well as the collapse of East European communist states, "left the Chinese leadership and the CCP profoundly shaken and worried about their own futures."
It was "a profound and deeply disturbing shock," he said, precipitating in the early 1990s systematic attempts at analyzing how it took place by scholars at the Central Party School, the CCP's Organization Department, and other institutions. The earlier studies had taken a broader view of the causes for the Soviet Union's collapse, rather than shrill warnings that merely focused on Gorbachev.
Motives Unclear
Observers of the Chinese political scene have since the beginning of this year been speculating about whether Xi Jinping is a closet reformer who is rolling out a set of neo-Maoist rhetoric in order to win over the hardliners in the Party, to free up his hands for the real task of reform; or whether, on the other hand, he is himself a genuine leftist.
Remarks like those he made in January of this year—that when the Soviet Communist Party was collapsing "nobody was man enough to stand up and resist"—could be read either way.
Whatever Xi's motives, the trembling about a Soviet-style outcome show the Party's fears, says Jason Ma, a commentator with NTD Television, a Chinese-language broadcaster based in New York. "The CCP's ideology has collapsed. Inside the Party, even Party members question how long the Party will last," he said on the Oct. 13 Focus Talk program.
About the recent Soviet collapse documentary, Ma remarked: "It's replete with falsifications, and emotive, brainwashing-style content. During the Soviet Union, only its military and Olympic Games record were good, but the people were very poor. They had to line up at 5 a.m. to buy bread."
The education sessions for Party members were accompanied by full coverage in the state press. Global Times, the nationalistic newspaper under the Party's mouthpiece People's Daily, ran an opinion article titled "Taking Heed of the Union's Example Is the Most Basic Requirement for China."
The thick communist language was unsettling to Chen Zhifei, a professor at the City University of New York, who also appeared on NTD's Focus Talk program: "The direction Xi Jinping is going in is like North Korea. At least that way he'll be able to enforce communist rule. But whether he can realize his 'China Dream' using the North Korean way to rule China is questionable. It's obvious that North Korean peoples' lives are not good."

Eleven Must-Read Books for The Serious Job Searcher
Back in the days before I had a wife, two little girls, a growing business, and a honey-do list the size of Texas, I used to read a lot. I even got to read for pleasure. Now, I only get to read in those precious few minutes of solace before going to bed.
I do my best to keep up on the newest books in the personal branding and job search categories, and the following list represents what I think are the best books to help the ambitious professional excel in their job search.
Headstrong: The Keys To A Confident And Positive Attitude During Job Search by Tim Tyrell-Smith A typical executive-level job search lasts an average of six to nine months, which means there will likely be some periods of disappointment and frustration.

Video: Five Steps to a Great LinkedIn Profile
This video, created by the fine folks at Alder Koten, an international executive search firm, lays out five simple steps to write a great LinkedIn profile.
Here are the key take-aways from the video:
Infographic – How Applicant Tracking Systems Read a Resume
One of the pillars of an effective, well-written executive resume is the usage of relevant keywords that can be easily read and processed by a company's Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Companies set ATS parameters to automate the resume screening process by searching for relevant keywords and phrases that they're looking for in potential candidates.
Unfortunately, these systems can only read a text-based resume with clear headers and body content. Meaning, job seekers who are sending out graphics-heavy resumes or the trendy infographic resumes are at a major disadvantage when trying to break through the ATS firewall.
Below is an infographic from Resunate.com that details how a resume is processed by an ATS. Enjoy!
How To Impress Employers With Your References
Professional references tend to be an afterthought in the job search. The vast majority of people simply shoot an email to a handful of past and current colleagues or managers and let them know that somebody may be calling them. Instead of viewing a references a mere formality, you should consider using them as yet another way to impress potential employers and stand out amongst the throngs of other candidates.
Before we show you how to add a wow factor to your references, let's review some seemingly obvious mistakes to avoid.
- Don't provide them with your resume. Or mention on your resume that References Are Available Upon Request. It should go without saying that you will have references and nobody needs to see them until you are further along in the interview process. Plus, mentioning your references on the resume takes up valuable space where you could be talking about other, much more important things.
- Don't forget let to your references know that somebody will be contacting them. The last thing you want is for somebody to be blind-sided by an HR manager. First, ask their permission to use them as a reference, and if they agree, give them plenty of notice and maybe even remind them of some specific characteristics or achievements they could mention.
- Don't have all your references come from the same place. Even if you've only worked for one company, branch out and ask a long-term client, business partner, or fellow member of a community organization to speak on your behalf.
- Don't ask for a letter from your current manager – if they don't know you're looking for a job. There are much better ways to tell your current company that you're open to other opportunities outside the company.
So how can you avoid sending HR managers the same old boring references page that everybody else presents? Step outside the box and create a References Dossier that goes beyond the traditional list of name, job title, company, phone number, and email address. Yes, you'll still want to include that information, but in addition to that, describe how you know the person, what your working relationship entailed, and specific skills and accomplishments that this person can detail.
Here is an example of a References Dossier I wrote for a recent client. Feel free to use it as a template the next time you need to submit your references.
Writing a Winning Resume for an Experienced Worker
You have a few years of work experience under your belt. Perhaps it's more than a few years. You need a fresh start or just a new opportunity to sink your teeth into but you aren't having any luck. Could it be your resume isn't showing off your experience properly? Perhaps you are not looking so hot to a recruiter. With a few expert resume writing tips, you could end up with a fantastic resume that gets the call back time and time again.
How To Approach The Dates
One of the biggest problems older workers have is trying to fill in a resume with consecutive dates. You may even feel like you have to go through your work history and list out every single place you've worked, when you worked there or how long you worked there. That's not necessary. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Most of the time, recruiters are interested in the last 10 to 15 years. They don't need or even want to look back 25, 30 or more years over your history. Don't include something that's too far back unless it really shows a valuable skill you've learned or earned.
- Watch your length. If you have decades of experience, it's easy to find yourself with page after page of work history. That's a turn off instantly to any recruiter. Who wants to go through pages of material for 10, 15, or even dozens of applicants? Keep it short and concise instead.
- Are you worried about your education? Sure, you were graduating high school about the same time the recruiter was born. It's more important to list where you went to school and what you accomplished there. Leave the dates off your education. You don't want the recruiter to think it's too outdated either.
Don't overwhelm yourself with trying to remember all of those dates. It's better to keep the copy clean and simple to read and understand.
Which Format Is Best?
It's ideal to choose a reverse chronological format. In other words, keep your more recent working experience at the top. You'll want to ensure that the most relevant experience is listed so that the recruiter can easily see exactly what you have to offer and why you are a good choice for the company. Don't overlook the importance of this. Functional formats, on the other hand, tend to allow red flags to stick out. Do you really have the necessary experience and skill? The reverse chronological format is often the ideal choice because it simply makes you look good.
What Are Your Accomplishments?
One of the biggest mistakes a more experienced worker can make is having an "experienced" style resume. Yes, you have worked 30 years and that's a good thing. But, having a "back in the day" conversation with a recruiter, isn't going to help you to land the job. Recruiters want you to be vibrant, modern, and up to date in your education and job skills.
That's why it's so valuable to ensure your resume shows your accomplishments rather than the number of years you've worked at a location. Here are some tips to help with this aspect:
- What did you do at your last job that was above the norm?
- What is the highest position you've held during your career? What title did you hold?
- What did you help your previous employer to accomplish, earn, or achieve?
- Did you break a sales record? Did you launch a new product?
Even if it is a small accomplishment in the grand scheme of things, it's still going to be valuable if you've done it. Make sure your resume focuses on this rather than how many years you've worked at the company.
Using Technology Can Help
The next thing to ensure you've included in your resume is your technology experience. A big mistake you can make as an older worker is to leave this option. Why? It's simple. Most recruiters are using technology to find candidates. Even more importantly, if you are an experienced worker, you may seem out of touch with the use of technology. You don't want to be seen as someone with no ability to flip on a computer!
- Incorporate any and all software you know how to use in your resume.
- Ensure any type of application that's industry-specific is mentioned in your resume. Be sure this is an up to date, modern list.
- Include links to your social media profiles – if you don't have them, create them. If you have a blog, include that, too.
This shows you are skilled and capable of using modern technology. That's a key component in nearly all situations.
Design It Right
Finally, be sure the design of your resume is modern, contemporary, and easy to read. Writing a resume for an experienced worker doesn't have to be hard nor do you have to do this on your own. Turn to a recruiter or hiring manager you know for feedback on your resume. On the other hand, you can hire a resume writer to handle the job for you. This type of resume is going to turn heads and get attention. That's exactly what you need to land the perfect job.
Five Reasons Your Cover Letter May Be Killing Your Job Search
Many recruiters and hiring managers will tell you that the cover letter is a dying breed, and in a lot of cases that may be true. With the automation of the applicant screening process and the sheer volume of resumes that companies see each week, the cover letter is no longer a required part of the application process.
However, in certain situations, a cover letter is a welcome complement to the resume and can go a long way to helping you secure an interview. And unfortunately, if you don't have a sound strategy for the letter, it can also help ensure that you DON'T get called in for an interview.
Here are five major mistakes that job seekers make with their cover letter:
1) It's boring. A cover letter is meant to be an attention grabber – something that entices the reader to want to read your resume and find out more about you. In contrast to the much more formal resume, a cover letter can be a bit lighter and showcase more of your personality. In addition to showing why you're a good fit for the position, try to show that you're interesting and would be fun to work with. Qualifications are only one part of the hiring equation. People want to work with people they like, and a boring cover letter doesn't do anything to convince them that you have a shining personality that will be an asset to the company culture.
2) It's vague. We often counsel our clients that a cover letter needs to be tailored for a specific role at a specific company. Hiring managers can sniff out a generic cover letter from a mile away, and it's a major turn-off. Proven to them that you've done your homework on the company and understand their specific market, unique challenges they may have, and why your background would help them to solve their unique challenges.
3) It's all about you. The reader doesn't really care why getting hired at their company would be a great thing for you personally. They're not hiring so that they can fill some void in your life or help you take the next step up the financial / professional ladder. They're hiring because they need somebody to come into their organization and solve a problem, whether that would be establishing new business development channels, coming up with a new marketing strategy, managing large-scale IT projects…whatever. So don't make the letter about you; make it about them. Tell them specifically what it is that you can do to help add value to their organization.
4) There are no accomplishments. Don't save all of your accomplishments for the resume. Use the cover letter to list a few of the biggest contributions you've had in recent roles. You want the reader to be envisioning how you can be a valuable contributor for them, and there is no better way to do that than by showing, specifically, how you have done that for previous employers.
5) There's no call to action. Any effective piece of marketing needs a strong call to action. Your cover letter needs one too. At then end of the cover letter, you should briefly summarize why your skills and experience would be a good fit for their company and ask for an interview. Make yourself available via email and phone and politely request that somebody reach out in order to discuss the position in more detail.

Cupressus Glabra - Seeds and Germination
Cupressus Glabra seeds are quite easy to grow, but they've got low success rate, around 30%.
Previous treatments
There's no need of any treatment before sowing these seeds.
The ideal substrate is a mixture of sand and black peat in equal parts or even just sand.
Mix and water it well. Drain the mixture, pressing to expel all the water.
The soil has to be wet but no waterlogged.
Fill with the soil the container chosen to sow the seeds.
Put the seeds on the substrate, leaving 1 cm between them.
Cover with a layer of soil aroun 0.5-1.5 cm of thicknes.
The seeds may take 1-2 month to germinate under perfect conditions.
For all that time we have to keep constant moisture and temperature.
In order to improve germination, the temperature should be around 25ºC.

There's a general push these days for low waste backyard gardens. Changes in the environment are slowly emphasizing the need to manage waste better. And they can help with that by lessening the organic waste households create and the energy used. Plants should be carefully chosen so that they suit the climate and general environment of the area while providing a sustainable habitat for wildlife. Organic material should then be converted into compost or mulch and reused to lessen the need for fertilizers. When designed correctly, a low waste backyard garden will save valuable time and resources on fertilizing and watering.
How to Make Your Backyard Gardens Low Waste
The front yard and garden are some of the worst areas when it comes to energy and water consumption, organic waste from plant clippings and leaves, and pollution that result from fertilizer residue. However, most homeowners and gardeners love their gardens so changes should be made on how they can improve their impact on the environment. Start by critically examining lawns or backyard gardens for changes that can be incorporated. Check if it's feasible to expand flower beds, add an herb or vegetable garden or to create a small habitat for local wildlife.
They can be planted with ground covers that require minimal watering and mowing. Some of these ground covers only require for you to buy a little fertilizer in compost form and a trim once a year. This simple landscaping change will save time that you'll otherwise spend fertilizing, mowing, and watering and will help the environment at the same time.
There are still ideas that you can try if reducing the size of the gardens are just not possible. For instance, don't throw grass clippings in the rubbish bin. Take them and place them in a compost heap. These are great sources of nitrogen and are beneficial to the compost heap. Or refrain from using a mower's catcher when cutting the grass and just leave the clippings behind. These will dry out, turn to mulch and minimize the gardens' reliance on fertilizers. However, this is good only if you mow regularly. Long gardens might end up with grass clippings in piles so don't forget to rake and place them in the compost pit, otherwise they might ruin the lawn underneath.
Effective Small Backyard Landscaping Ideas
If you're fortunate enough to be able to design a low waste backyard garden from scratch, do some research on different plant alternatives that you can use to buy and the ones that are for sale. Check out some of the new turf varieties. There are some that grow slower than others and require minimal mowing and watering.
Some possible plants that can be used when doing organic landscaping are Dryarna flavius, Kidney Weed, Wild Thyme, Nathers Green, Swamp Mazus and Corsican Mint. These varieties usually require less water and can be walked on, while some are shade loving plants.
It will be more effective in helping the environment if the plants chosen easily thrive in the soil and climate of the area. Planting local fauna can lessen the garden's dependence on fertilizers and water since they're already suited to the local climate. Planting trees, low maintenance shrubs and groundcovers native to the area also has the added benefit of providing food and shelter to the local wildlife. Make the plants in your backyard garden robust and more resilient to diseases by planting them based on their shade and light requirements.
If your backyard garden has new garden beds, they should be covered in mulch to save on water and fertilizer. You can use leaves and some mature compost for your mulch. You can also use straw or wood chips, but try to use them only when the available mulch has been used up. Remember that mulch is good for soil water retention. However, mulch also absorbs about 30% of the water that you spray around. It's better to water the plant's root ball instead.
Finally, build a compost bin or heap for it or look for some that are for sale. Grass clippings, leaves and twigs can all be placed here. You can also add other household waste before burying and once everything is fully composted, it can be used as inexpensive, but effective mulch and soil conditioners for them.

Jeff Rich has changed his address this month to 123 lot B, Stevens Pass, WA, therefore we haven't seen a whole lot of his epic powder DAYZ this month (but they'll be coming soon as the snow subsides or he runs out of clean skivvies ;-). Luckily for our teaser, our friend and one of Jeff's main ski partners, Jameson Florence, captured a bunch of shots which he'd sent over as a little Xtra Xtreme Xmas snow cheer (up) for the folks who can't make it back to their home stomping grounds of Snoqualmie Pass, WA due to road closers/ power outage (this is the story I've been singing for a few days, heading home right after this post – pass is open but power remains unknown as PSE is in a struggle at Snoqualmie Pass!!!)/
Jeff Rich might be holding tight at Stevens Pass, without internet to upload his video to go along with the pics above, but our young 16 year old Snow Trooper, Alex Ropka, has been bouncing back home after his powder dayz and has sent over a very nice edit of his "December to Remember". Again, right after this post is live, I am rolling up to my home stomping grounds of Snoqualmie Pass, which won't have power for the entire Christmas holiday, so I'll be a self powered skier.
Below is Alex Ropka's edit from Stevens Pass' amazing "December to Remember".

Former M.D. gets 2 years in prison
BRIDGEPORT -- Francisco Carbone worked his way up from humble beginnings in the South Bronx to become a medical doctor.
But greed always seemed to pull him down.
Carbone was sentenced Friday to two years in federal prison for his role in advising patients, helping prescribe powerful narcotics and drafting reports to defraud automobile and health insurers in a car accident scam. He'll begin serving his term Sept. 10.
"I accepted responsibility from the beginning," Carbone said.
Carbone apologized for his actions and his lawyer, John Maxwell, said greed was the motivating factor.
"The problem is, you've had second and third chances," U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill told Carbone, 56, now making $3,000 a month as a limousine driver in New York. "It's not clear where you are in terms with not being a doctor. You are not going to get your medical license again. You are not going to work in the health care industry ever again. The sooner you come to terms with that and focus your energy elsewhere, the better."
But that kind of admonishment hasn't stopped Carbone before.
When his license was pulled permanently by the state in 2005, Carbone continued to advise patients, draft medical reports and recommend prescriptions that another doctor signed.
He did all this while participating in a personal injury scam headed by Joseph Haddad, a Bridgeport lawyer who would seek clients from police accident reports. Those clients were then sent to see Carbone, who would advise them on medical treatment, get Dr. James Marshall at Immediate Medical Care in Monroe to sign off on powerful narcotic painkillers, and then recommend they seek treatment from Dr. Marc Kirshner's chiropractic clinics.
Haddad was sentenced to 51 months in prison. Kirshner and Marshall are awaiting sentencing.
The operation was exposed during an undercover FBI investigation dubbed Running Man in which an agent sought treatment for bogus injuries and recorded conversations with several participants. Once Carbone was caught, he cooperated in the investigation.
FBI Special Agent Daniel Curtin, who supervised the probe, met with Carbone on more than 100 occasions. Nearly 500 bogus cases were identified which cost insurers at least $2 million.
Underhill ordered Carbone to repay $434,529.
In 1998, Carbone pleaded guilty to receiving kickbacks from a local medical supply firm for referring Medicare patients to them and filing a false income tax return. He was sentenced to four months in federal prison and his license to practice medicine was suspended for five years.
However, four years later, he was sent to federal prison for 13 months after being found in violation of probation after being implicated in another FBI health care fraud probe.
In 2005, his license was revoked.
The following year, a second federal probation-violation charge was brought after postal inspectors claimed Carbone was representing himself as a doctor even though he had no license. That violation was later vacated because it carried a maximum two-month prison term, and Carbone spent five additional months being supervised by U.S. probation officers.

renewable energy development
Waste Heat Recovery Thru Organic Rankine Cycle Systems: Behind the Scene in Clean Energy Technology renewable energy development
Water wheels and windmills have been used for many thousands of several years to grind corn and husks to make flour for bread and a assortment of diverse meals. Even passive photo voltaic energy was used to warm homes and dry garments. Some forms of these "substitute power sources" over are really just enhancements of lengthy-existing more mature systems. But with the advancement of technology in the present day age other sorts of option energies are really new, these kinds of as bioenergy, fuel cells and photo voltaic panels.
As the global race to achieve electricity independence and safety continues to become more fierce day by day, nations all in excess of the world make ambitious moves in buy to obtain this feat the moment considered to be unattainable. Developing nations are not left out of this as each and every sovereign nation would seem to recognize how this is key to national advancement and prosperity.
Nigeria's determination to attain seven% renewable energy development use by 2025 has been tagged to be a quite proactive dedication. An essential reality to notice is that much more than sixty% of the nation's population is not connected to the national grid and the remaining inhabitants can only boast of epileptic power supply.
Apart from the unwell state of the present generation, distribution and offer network, decades of ineffective institutional framework and proper insurance policies have been accountable for the escalating ranges of power poverty in Africa's most populous region and 2nd biggest economic system. So numerous questions continue to be unanswered as it gets clearer day by day that Nigeria is underneath-executing in terms of the provision of energy security to its 160 million men and women. To additional unlock the nation's affordable and industrial potentials and entice far more international investments, new scientific breakthroughs in efficiency and delivery of substitute renewable energy development systems have to be taken gain of.
The country's present more than-dependence on gasoline fired generation crops has resulted in offer disruptions in occasions of gasoline shortages which are quite widespread occurrences. The want for choice power generation options can not be overstated taking into consideration the country's recent desire for electricity. In 2011, Nigeria emerged as the nation with the biggest gap among demand and provide of electrical renewable energy development in the planet in accordance to a advancement report submitted by the country's presidential activity force committee on renewable energy development reforms. This is certainly inadequate to encourage economical growth.
China, India and Brazil are all exhibiting huge innovations in this market, Brazil creates most of the world's sugar-derived ethanol and has been incorporating new biomass and wind electricity plants.
Improvement of renewable energy development power assignments can also have more rewards than merely more affordable energy. These tasks have previously shown that they can contribute towards poverty alleviation by supplying the vital energy needed for creating organization and work, making it possible for for cooking, heating and lights in residential properties. Education and learning also stands to benefit too, by providing electricity to faculties, pupils can be trained a lot more intricately in IT methods and operating equipment. An additional beneficiary is well being the energy supplied permits stoves to be used for food preparing, elevating the probably deadly consequences of inhaling indoor charcoal stoves.
Total, the argument does not have to be even made about how renewable energy development electricity sources can profit establishing nations, they are currently apparent, and we will continue to see the results into the long term, contributing to a loaded and independent economic system.
When you converse of the renewable energy development and choice electricity sources, you can usually count on hydro electrical power to be element of that listing. This electricity sourced from running water has been tapped for generations now, and even coverage makers are one particular in declaring that there is potential in this energy resource since this is renewable energy development. Government assistance and incentives are now in spot in purchase to advertise the use of this power source. But how did these policy markers get there at their conclusion that hydroelectricity is a renewable energy development source? Right here are the best factors forwarded why this is renewable energy development and must be supported.
1) Hydroelectricity is considered as a renewable energy development vitality simply because this utilizes the electricity of operating drinking water without having minimizing the quantity. For this purpose, the electrical energy can be generated no issue wherever the h2o is sourced- regardless of whether in the river or in an accumulated storage.
2) The power is renewable simply because this is not subject matter to marketplace value fluctuations and the host nation will not be dependent on other international locations for water. Drinking water is a domestic resource and can very easily be tapped.
three) Aside from producing electrical power, this can also help in storing consuming h2o.

When the press goes to the movies, a lot of claims are made about US presidents and movies.
Most of them are wrong.
For example, no, Yahoo, JFK did not screen From Russia With Love "the night before he was killed." Not only was he not at the White House (he was in Fort Worth, Texas) his schedule was too busy for a movie.
But you can apparently claim anything at Yahoo, facts be damned.
The same at USA Today.
A non-story took a beat down because Ted Berg (above) got his granny panties in a wad over Curt Schilling's refusal to bow down and worship Barack Obama.
So Berg typed up:
[Barry] Bonds' show of support for the president came just hours after fellow MLB retiree Curt Schilling took a veiled shot at Obama for not screening the controversial Seth Rogen film The Interview
at the White House, insisting that Ronald Reagan would have even though
a) he probably would not have and b) if Obama actually did screen The Interview
at the White House, everyone would have criticized him for it because
he's the president and should be doing more important things than
watching Seth Rogen movies.
There is so much wrong with that.
First off, for Barack to have screened it most recently, he probably would need to have done it in Hawaii -- where he's celebrating Christmas with his family -- and not at the White House.
Second Reagan "probably would not have" screened the film?
That statement is beyond stupid.
It offers no backing at all for the claim.
The reality is, no one knows what Reagan would do. He's dead.
But if he were alive today and in the White House?
He loved movies.
He was an actor.
Reagan was no fan of North Korea and since the popular narrative is Sony versus North Korea, he would have sided with Sony.
That's not really in debate unless you're an idiot like Ted Berg.
Does Ted not know the infamous statement Reagan made about Sony? After the big check? The one that he then had to apologize for? (In 1989, Reagan claimed Sony would return "decency and good taste to films.")
And what of Reagan nominating J. Raymond Bell for the office of Chair of the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission? That was September of 1982.
Would Ted Berg care to tell us what Bell had been vice president of?
Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.
Does Berg not know Sony was Columbia Pictures?
And why might Reagan want to come to Columbia Pictures aid?
Among many reasons, the only film he and First Lady Nancy Reagan made together was Hellcats of the Navy which was a film distributed by . . . Columbia Pictures.
We don't know what Reagan would do.
We're not even fans of Reagan.
But we do know that a compelling argument can be made that he likely would have screened The Interview.
What we do know is that idiot Ted Berg offered nothing to back up his claim.
And we know that all known evidence indicates that the "probably" outcome on this would be Reagan backing Sony.
(And there are many more Columbia Pictures connections for Reagan that we could list.)

Practice day of the Experiencing the Social Work World project
Yesterday me, Lisa and Matt met at our arts workshop venue to run through next week's schedule and smooth out any potential issues. Next week is the time when 15 social workers will come together and use art to express how they feel they are viewed by others. Our 15 participants have already been recruited and are ready and eagerly waiting. The arts materials have been purchased and the venue has been booked. Everything is in place and we are prepared.
But after months of thinking, talking and planning, we realised that what we actually needed to do was understand how the participants would feel on the day. This was the purpose of yesterday, to go to the workshop and pretend to be the participants. The reason for doing this was to think about how they may feel as social work practitioners perhaps using arts materials for the first time, what kind of anxieties they may experience and how we, as project leads, could anticipate these, turn them around and make the whole day an enjoyable experience.
So with Matt (our artist) in role, Lisa and I became the participants. We watched carefully and listened attentively as Matt practised the art of teaching two amateurs how to use different but sensually very interesting materials. At first we were cautious, neither knowing what to do and feeling a little embarrassed about what we would produce. However, Matt was brilliant at reassuring us and reminding us what the day was about and that whatever we did produce it would be worthy of representing our perception of self.
The first arts medium was mono printing, a form of printmaking that involves making squiggles and swooshes, doing things like tapping and drawing shapes and lines. It basically involves the transfer of ink from a special type of paper, or canvas, to a paper surface that holds the work of art. It was dead straight forward to use and what I liked about it was how we could return to the artwork and make changes. Here is a link to our work: Monoprint artwork
The second arts medium we used was wire, which is very easy to use and with pliers you can turn a piece of wire into many different shapes. We learned quickly that you don't have to be a professional artist to create things and within a few minutes we were producing all kinds of different artefacts: Wire artwork
The third, and final, arts medium we used was clay. There are many different kinds of clay to use but the one we have opted for is the easiest yet, in my opinion, the most dramatic. As Matt was talking Lisa and I were fiddling with it and couldn't wait to get started. By this time, we had relaxed into the practice and were really enjoying ourselves so it didn't take much encouragement from Matt for us to get started: Clay artwork.
We concluded the practice day on a big high and went home with smiles. It felt good to have chosen, what we think, are the right materials for our participants and it also felt good knowing that if we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves then hopefully so will our participants. Roll on next weekend.

Thank you very much for your personal time and individual training and instructions you spoiled me with.
When I played in Palm Springs a few weeks ago , it was truly the first time ever I played when I was not concerned or worried about hitting a 200-220 meter shot using an iron or hybrid. Through better impact using the workhorse first, I consistently was hitting 200+ yards with ease. One par 3 hole was 220 yards to the pin. I used my 4 Hybrid and ended up on the green 15 yards from the pin and made par. Your instructions were truly game-changing. Our courses are not open yet in Northern Alberta, but I practice with an alignment stick just next to the "ball" to help me find a true plane. I am not even hitting any balls. With the wet grass and soil, I can nicely analyze the depth and direction and placement of my divots, making sure it is consistently 3-4 inches in front. I think you will be proud of the progress I have made. I cannot wait to start playing in a few weeks' time. Thanks again for everything!

Why do we laugh? Why do we love? Why do all lonely-hearts ads demand a 'Good Sense Of Humour'?
In the near future, an android called Jacie develops emotions and an aspiring writer falls in love with her. But where he sees potential, others see malfunction.
Winner of Olivier, Evening Standard and London Critics' Circle awards when it premiered in 1999, Alan Ayckbourn's Comic Potential is a hilarious and moving story by the master of theatrical comedy. Set in the future where everything is different except human nature, the play is a satire on television, a discourse on comedy and a story dealing with the nature of love.
Now, the play described by the Daily Telegraph as "one of Ayckbourn's sharpest and most topical satires" is being revived by Tower Theatre Company at premier fringe venue Theatro Technis, near King's Cross, from 21st May. To buy tickets, go to: http://www.towertheatre.org.uk/comic.htm.
Multi-award-winning actress Janie Dee – who originated the role of Jacie – will be attending the Friday 24th May performance and will be giving a Q&A with director Victor Craven after the show.
A week before opening night, I spoke with Craven about his excitement at meeting Dee, the enduring appeal of Ayckbourn's work and the relationship between theatre and laughter.
What appealed to you about directing Comic Potential?
Well, the history of my love for theatre started when I was 14 and saw the premiere of A Small Family Business at the National Theatre. Until then it had been the usual RSC trips or to see something at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park – Shakespeare, basically. Seeing Ayckbourn, I realised you could see plays at the theatre with people who talked in a modern language – and starred actors such as Michael Gambon, who I knew from The Singing Detective on TV. It also had an amazing huge set and was all too much to cope with, to be frank! It lit something in me that has never gone out.
I directed a show called On Religion with Tower Theatre Company last year and they asked me to direct another. I was thinking of choosing something broader and bigger and more fun after such an intense piece, and Ayckbourn came immediately to mind. Comic Potential is such a brilliant, funny and dark play, but light at the same time.
Does its future scenario have arguably even more resonance now than when it was first staged?
That's been something that's been a continual discussion in rehearsals in terms of both the acting and the design side of the production. I think at its heart, the play is a look at love and comedy from a post-modernistic Ayckbourn perspective in terms of what he's learnt about both.
The play is set in the world of TV production of the future. When the play was first staged it had that sense of being a clever swipe at what was going on and what it would lead to. What's interesting now is that we're looking at it in the past in terms of what it's bringing up. Fox News is still 'advising' the USA on what and how to think! And those heady days of dramas such as The Singing Detective are pretty much over in terms of TV production. So it's nice to look back at it and go, 'Yes he was right' and look at how exposed everything has become. Even though it's a play set in the future it has huge resonances for our past. I saw the original production and remember thinking that it had thate sense even then. The future concept is really a device to throw up all the issues Ayckbourn wants to discuss.
How have you approached staging the play?
With our show I've always been clear that although I want it set in the future, I want nostalgia – so no flashy lights or Star Trek-style design. The future-ness comes from the text rather than walking into some futuristic set. That's what we're trying to achieve on this production. As I said, it's really about love and comedy and that's what I want the audience to come away thinking about. What is comedy? How do we laugh? What makes us laugh?
To what would you attribute Alan Ayckbourn's enduring popularity?
That's a whole book! I think he's a master at being able to make 99% of an audience respond to a single moment. He has the right balance to cater for a very wide section of people's intelligence. In some respects he has that real sitcom sensibility, which is very mainstream. He just knows what the best thing is to put in front of a big room of people to get them on side. But, at the same time, he has an incredible ability to make people laugh at something that is profoundly disturbing and dark. The whole premise of this play is that a young human writer falls in love with a robot actress. It's not AI or Bladerunner but at the end of the day it's quite dark and disturbing!
What is the relationship between laughter and theatre in its most exciting form?
The laughter aspect is part of what, for me, makes theatre so wonderful – a room full of audience members directly relating to a cast. There's the atmosphere and the danger level of the situation, with so many things that could go wrong. Audience members may not be consciously thinking about that, but it's always there. And whether it's a tragic or funny moment, you have a whole body of people profoundly moved by someone speaking text. Generally, the whole notion of sharing a moment, comedy or otherwise, is great. It's different to watching TV and laughing alone. There's research that suggests a possible reason we laugh out loud with other people is connected to instinctive responses evolved over thousands of years about the power of expressing your mood when you're in a collective. The situation of being in a group and laughing makes you feel better than if you're smirking by yourself in front of the TV!
Your background is in projection design. How does this enhance a theatre audience's experience when it is done properly?
Using it well is the key! I think, as with everything, the cheaper things technology becomes – and the more accessible – people get very excited and do anything and everything with it. I've sat in meetings and just cringed at the 'Oh, we can do this' approach. Personally, I use projections to create another dimension to the overall theatrical experience. To me, it's absolutely essential that anything created is a) totally supported by the script and the story and b) is part of a collaborative process with the entire design team. My aim really is to create something that people aren't ultimately even necessarily aware of. Obviously, the huge benefit of projection design is that you can create whole worlds instantly, which is great. But, again, it's not just a case of doing that for the sake of it – it has to be supported by the script. With These Shining Lives, which I've just designed for the new Park Theatre, the actual content is about supporting naturalistic and non-naturalistic moments. So we've used projection design as both a location pointer and to give those moments of magic their charm and beauty.
How have you found the difference between projection designing and directing?
I'm one of a group of practitioners when I'm projection designing; I become a creative collaborator rather than the ultimate decision-maker. But because I've directed many productions I have a real sensibility and understanding of that process and am able to fill the Projection Designer role without stepping on anyone's toes.
What has it been like to collaborate with Tower Theatre Company?
It's astonishing – it's a huge, massively resourced set-up. We produce 18 shows a year and the spirit, dedication and sheer bloody-minded work that everyone puts into the productions is breathtaking. Having such a large group of committed people to work with really enables you to play and create and to try things out. There are some 300 permanent members. It's such an amazing family.
As well as Comic Potential, you have, as you mentioned, just finished the projection design for These Shining Lives – the inaugural production of the brand new Park Theatre in Finsbury Park. What is the venue like?
For Finsbury Park, as a community, the whole area outside the station has been transformed, and I think the theatre has had a huge impact on the positivity of developing the area. It's going to be a shining beacon in the area. It's a great place with a Donmar-like main space and a really cool studio. It'll be interesting to watch its journey. The next step is for it to achieve a reputation for putting on great shows – which it already is and will continue to do so. The buzz is phenomenal. During the end-of-day commuter rush time, people are literally stopping, mouths wide open, not actually able to believe that it's there. Artistic director Jez Bond's enthusiasm and general positivity is infectious. Having someone like him at the helm, along with executive producer Miranda Bertram, just fuels everybody.
What do off-West End theatres offer in contrast to more mainstream venues and companies?
As a regular theatre-goer, I think off-West End venues have a real family feeling to them, both in terms of the audiences and the staff, as well as the creatives. When you go to those venues, it isn't just about seeing a show. Park Theatre, for example, has a really great cafe and a great vibe to the building. Production-wise, the money off-West End productions attract isn't always as great as it could be, but I think that can really produce flair. The most creative work can come out of these kinds of restrictions.
Janie Dee, who originated the part of Jacie in Comic Potential, is doing a post-show Q&A on Friday 24 May, isn't she? Has she had any input in this production?
No, but she's absolutely thrilled and excited to see it. She hasn't seen the play since she performed it herself! I was stunned to learn that. I'm very much looking forward to talking with her about creating the part of Jacie and what it was like working with Ayckbourn on it. At the time it was originally staged in Scarborough he was experimenting with producing a series of ten plays with the same ten actors. Comic Potential was his new play for that year written for those same ten actors. So it'll be interesting to talk to her about that year. I hope she enjoys our show!
And what is up next for you, after this show?
Next? Well, I'm doing the projection design for Enron at the Bridewell Theatre in July and I'm talking to people about various projects, which I can't discuss for the obvious, usual boring reasons! All I've really been doing of late is focusing on the projections for These Shining Lives and – what feels like two seconds later – getting ready for Comic Potential!

Logan Pearson is turning 12 on February 24th and for the first time in his life, with the help of Facebook friends and area police; he celebrated his birthday in a grand style.
As reported by CBS Boston, this past Saturday, Logan, a severely autistic and non-verbal boy from Andover got the birthday bash any twelve year old would love.
Logan's Sister, Cloey said "In the past we'd like take him out to ice cream or something. But now it's like the big day for him."
"As far as his birthdays in the past, they've always been a sad quiet day," Logan's said Logan's mom, Catherine. She indicated throwing a traditional party was never really possible, but she decided to do something different to mark his twelfth birthday.
Turning to Facebook the post went viral when she asked for birthday cards and wishes. Logan wound up not only with thousands of messages and buckets of cards , but a very big admirer at the Cambridge Police Department.
Cambridge police officer Steven Bikofsky said "(The post) was brought to my attention by my better half, my girlfriend. When I realized he was in Andover, I knew he was a special boy and I figured we'd do something special for him."
Officer Bikofsky planned a surprise birthday celebration for Logan at the North Andover Fuddruckers with cake, gifts, and Police from 10 different departments across Massachusetts joining in to celebrate.
Andover police Lt. Edward Guy said, "If it didn't tug at your heart strings, you didn't have a heart."
Logan was given the VIP treatment of police cruisers in a motorcade escort to the celebration.
"It just exploded into this police escort to just show Logan how important he is," beamed Catherine. "I just can't believe it."
"Logan is loved around the world, so it's not a sad birthday anymore," said Catherine, who was humbled by the generosity and the birthday party for her son which was 12 years in the making.

There is always a new feeling when old memories come back to haunt us. That idea of what we can be and what we could have been build conflict within us.
Please enjoy the first chapter of my newest release. Memories. Genre Urban Fantasy.
The morning was just like any other he had experienced in his twenty-five years of life. Yet, stumbling through the apartment to do his morning bodily evacuation, he had an idea that would lead him from this day on. The idea was about a way to make life easier through invention. As the saying goes "necessity is the mother of invention". Here was a true living version.
Taking time to look around the apartment, he evaluated what and where he could build from. The apartment had a lingering haze reminiscent of a honky-tonk bar. If he looked hard enough, he could swear that there were eyes looking back at him. The eyes told him to spend the rest of his life looking down the barrel of a shot glass or some other mind-numbing drink. He had felt the loss of hope in those eyes.
Decided he would not allow it any longer, he chose to change it. Light was the first thing that had to be allowed. This was in order to see about clearing up this living area to make it a representation of some new hope. Walking around the un-opened boxes sent him by loved ones in an attempt to reach him, he threw open the curtains and let light flood into the room. The light that flooded his senses brought new forms of pain that he had not experienced for days. He never enjoyed the sun and what it symbolized. It brought with it life and warmth, and they were two things he had given up on. As he walked the dying path he had chosen, he knew that light was contrary to the solitude he worked so hard to attain. This was especially true after she had left … or was she taken? The thought stopped him in his tracks. He wanted so much to remember, but never could get a good grasp on the events of that day.
He felt all the way to his core that he was at fault. Still in the haze of light and shadows that were his past he could not really, truly be sure of anything. It had now become just bits and pieces of places not fully formed or names only half-spoken in his mind. He could not see himself in her arms, though. Every time the sun struck him head-on, there he was again. Hers were the eyes that brought life, life that would never let go. "Move past this" was the thought that kept tearing at his heart, but there he was in her arms, unable to move. The smell of her hair was just out of reach, teasing his mind. He could almost savor that sweet fragrance again, but, like the elusive sun melting Icarus's wings keeping him at bay, his golden memories melted just before he could get a solid grasp of them.
There he stood for the world to see, paralyzed with joy. This basking in the sun was a rarity in his life, where few moments of pure pleasure existed as islands in a vast sea of despair. Slowly, he turned to see what life had become in the dank pit he called home. He had taken a spiraling fall down the ladder of success almost as quickly as he had climbed it.
Here he was at rock bottom and this moment was where he would see his own life for what it had become. He had reached the goal of living on the outside as he felt on the inside. He was a rotting cesspool full of bile and despair.
The apartment was not one that could be taken all in at one glance. In order to take in the volumes this pit spoke about its owner, someone would have to take in each section in the proper light. Why anyone would choose to live this way was beyond the reasoning of any normal citizen of modern society. The first thing to be noticed was the floor—or rather, the lack of it. Strewn throughout the apartment were boxes filled with clothing in need of washing and plates with moldy food. A closer look brought the eyes to a focal point: a beautiful porcelain teapot bought at some obscure auction. This teapot was something of an oddity in this apartment, which caused the onlooker to wonder why anyone would live in such disrepair, while at the same time maintaining such a beautiful piece of antiquity.
In the sun the pot shined like a fire that refused to be put out; it was like a beacon of life, pure and white. It was reminiscent of the life spent in days gone by, a time in some distant dynasty where ordinary people would live out their lives as farmers or merchants of some kind. This was not the trend of current times, but there it sat, something more than two centuries old still in near-mint condition from what could be seen by walking around it: a diamond in the mist of coal for all to see and digest.
Still the question remained: who was this man who kept such a priceless artifact sitting on a desk where a mere inch away sat a plate with a slice of pizza? By the looks of it, any person with eyes could tell that the pizza had been sitting there for at least two months. The mold had completely covered the plate in a suffocating barrier and looked as if it was getting ready to attack the teapot. He would never allow that to happen. Preventing that invasion was his daily chore.
Clean the pot, keep it safe, and place it in its proper location where it would remind him of what he truly did not know.
Not picturing himself as a person who would buy such antiques led him to the conclusion that it must have been the woman in his memories who purchased it. She was gone and not even this pot would bring her back.
As most folks know, porcelain of this quality is made in pairs to fulfill the Yin and Yang. The mate of the pot had disappeared at the time that she had. The thought that they would never be re-united was constant in his mind.
An ashtray could be clearly seen half-covered in a greenish slime, the clear offspring of the pizza. Yet, rather than clean it, someone had continually stubbed out cigarettes in the slime. By the looks of it, the slime was feeding on the nicotine. This was something that would have taken time to grow in a lab, but here it was flourishing in this rather new and extreme ecological environment with each new butt that had been put out in it.
A new cigarette butt had recently been stabbed into the organism, dripping a grayish black mixture of ashes and slime over the edge onto the desk. The dry stains around the ashtray indicated there was no hope for life on the outskirts of the ashtray. The fact that certain death awaited the slime had kept it within the limits of the ashtray. Yet, now and then it would try to reach out and infest.
A picture hung on the wall in the direct line of sight between the pot and the ashtray. The picture, which was and was not truly a picture of what it was meant to represent, hung stoic in all its glory. Although only a single wallet-sized picture, it hung in grandeur, framed in a fashion befitting a royal portrait. It had been maintained on the wall with such care and dedication, it appeared to blend into the wall. It was easy to forgive the fact that the picture was nothing more than eyes staring blankly into the void, the rest of the image having been damaged by fire. It only laid proof to his madness for having a portrait built into an apartment he did not own. What was even worse was the fact that the portrait this man cherished was nothing more than eyes. Looking hard enough, it was clear that the eyes were the eyes of a woman. There was a kindness in those eyes that gave reason for the disrepair. What reason lay within the eyes could only be speculated, although as he stood there, the eyes gave him pause to ask for forgiveness. They seemed to smile back at him in such a way that his heart felt the tears come as he stood there, letting them rip deep. They tore into the memory of his lost love, allowing him to retain the pain, but not the memory.
There were no other pictures on the walls. This one and only picture had been kept free from any external influences that lay about this cesspool of an apartment, just as had the pot. The frame was made of wood so exotic that one could not rightly say which tree had provided its flesh in order to bring these eyes to life. The glass appeared to have been handmade in some artistic institution.
Everything about this frame indicated the state of mind one would have needed to have been in: obsession, it was, or could it have been called devotion. When a love, a true soul mate style of love is lost, there are two things that can be done: move on and find something else to fill the void or devote the remainder of one's life to the memory. With him it was hard to tell, for he did not open the dark recesses of his heart. Like a home closed up for decades, everything was kept under the cover of dark sheets or else left alone to the ravages of time. Yet, the true treasures of his heart where kept in perfect order, locked away in the deepest crevice, far from prying eyes.
It had not been that long since he had lost her—just a couple of years. Still, without her there to keep order, he was at a loss. The dreadful event that had taken her and his memory now forcing him into re-learning the fact that a room needs to be kept, though, that was about to change. As of this day, he had made a decision to bring the rest of the apartment up to the standard of care enjoyed by the pot and the picture. But where to start was the issue revolving around him. In all actuality, it had stumped him. He was at a loss about what to do with the amount of unwanted growths that were continually fed by the countless care packages sent by his family. This in turn brought about the first decision in his steps to bring everything back under control. He got a trash bag to take care of the filth. Taking the first of many boxes, he opened it to find a sweater next to a container of juice, which, lacking refrigeration, had spoiled beyond recognition.
The juice in the trash bag, along with the sweater box, was placed under the picture. This process was repeated for the next six hours. In the end, eight bags full of trash, twenty sweaters, thirty shirts, two pairs of pants, and countless socks left his apartment free from the cancerous growths. With bags now placed in the kitchen, he started the next part. To further clean the floor, he would also have to wash clothes. Armed with another trash bag, he started picking up the garments strewn across the floor. Finishing with four trash bags full of clothes, he needed to see if the washing machine still functioned.
In the country he now called home the washing machines where smaller than those common in the western world. With the machine at max capacity, he could clearly see that it held only a third of a trash bag of his clothing. The cleansing of the apartment continued. The floor was now noticeable, though dust balls were still seen scudding about the room with the slightest breeze. This was easily rectified by a mop-style cleaner.
The cleaner held a moist paper towel on the flat surface of the floor and was attached on the other side to a pivot joint, followed by a handle, allowing the towel to remain in full contact with the floor as the cleaner was pushed about in any direction. Just as the Americans in the early days of settling the western United States eradicated the buffalo from moving trains and such, he also eradicated the copious amounts of dust balls.
This massive cleaning prompted the use of another trash bag for the used paper towels. With a furrowed brow he pondered Dam rug, how do I even take care of it? Do I wash it? A rug that he could not even remember buying. It would require a turn in the washing machine in order to bring its original colors back to life. He dropped it in line behind the trash bags full of clothing yet to be washed.
With a lively chime, the washing machine indicated that the first load of clothing was now done and required drying. Carefully, he took the clean clothes to his veranda where he could hang them to dry. Just then he noticed something had been growing where his rug had been apparently not needing a constant source of light to live, it reminded him of himself.
He chuckled. He had to take care of this, although by the looks of it, a simple wet paper towel would not be sufficient. Taking the cloth towel that he had used ever since he had moved into this new place to dry his hands after washing them every morning, he set it in the sink to soak. He sprinkled laundry detergent across the grungy rug and then followed by getting onto his hands and knees. Using the soaked towel, he started to scrub away every bit of mold. Upon finishing the task at hand, he noticed that he had not eaten all day. Deciding that the floor needed time to dry, he stepped out for a bite to eat. But the trash blocking his way had to be handled first. It took him three trips to take out all of the trash bags from his apartment. As he did this, he noticed the sun was marking the time as late afternoon. Since he did not like being outside after dark, he decided that a quick walk to the liquor store was all that time permitted.
He went there to buy a sandwich and something to drink there before once again attacking the monumental amount of things to clean. What a society in which he lives where everything that is edible can be made into a sandwich. He stood there wondering what to get, but could not decide. She was working that day and by chance saw that he was in need of some help. Walking out from behind the counter, she asked in a soft voice if she could help him in any way.
Nothing looked particularly good to him. Suddenly noticing that she existed, an end to his confusion was at hand. Looking up into those nice brown eyes brought him face to face with something that had been lacking in his life since the woman of his dreams had been taken. With a nice smile he calmly stated that he had no idea what was good. She nodded and returned his smile while saying that the vegetable sandwich was one of the top choices and that the nutritional value was probably worth the price. Taking the sandwich in hand, he glanced down at the drink he had already chosen, which he was now sure would ruin this healthy meal by introducing toxins not to be found in a healthy vegetable sandwich. This frustrated him with questions about the true value of health for a man in his state. She quickly saw in his furrowed brow that he was truly in need of help—and more than just in food. He needed help for his life. She walked over to the drinks and pulled out a simple green tea.
Handing it to him, she simply said, "This will compliment that sandwich."
From then on he would only eat lean meat for health reasons, but more so because someone had taken the time to care.
Finding out the name of this woman would not be as simple as asking for it. The thoughts started to flood his mind, 'What kind of man would he be if he were to try to pick up a woman just after meeting her? What would she think of him if she was even remotely interested? Where would any form of a relationship go, matching a stable and sensible woman with a man bent on self-destruction?
Would this even work?
There was only one way he could find out and that was through the simple admission that he was interested in her. However, this would have to wait for another time when he could be better prepared and look more the part of a gentleman instead of some stranger off the street. What was important now was the task at hand. He followed her slowly back to the counter and paid for his small meal. With a nod and smile, she accepted his payment and thanked him for his patronage. This was when their eyes met, giving them both a glimpse of the spark, that solitary spark that fuels whirlwind romances. She blushed; he simply smiled back at her as he walked out the door. A quick glance back into the store revealed that she was watching him even after he had walked out the door. He smiled again as he started his trudge back to the apartment, where he would continue with his work. This work of changing the conditions that had kept him a prisoner to his past would consume him until it was done.
Everything until now had become the past now that he had been given a renewed spark for life.
He started to realize that there could be life after such a loss. His life began to show signs of flourishing. He just had to want it badly enough to move in this new direction. The rest of his cleaning seemed to take less time, although he did not complete it until early the following morning. The clothes were washed and hung out to dry, the ashtray lay empty and clean, and there were just four more trash bags remaining to be disposed. Once they were taken out, he returned to his sanctuary. In this new womb he had created he would soon be full of life rather than gloom, which prickled the back of his neck even now as he stood there in satisfaction of his accomplishment. His mind would never really be free and clear of the gloom.
A glance around his apartment bore witness to what he could truly become with the past properly packaged and thrown away. Where the piles of gift packages had once claimed space, there was now beautiful emptiness. Where the clothing and the rug had once desecrated his floor, there was only pure wood. The copious amounts of dust balls were all corralled into the trash and led away, leaving nothing more than a distant memory.
Lying down on his bed with a nice book, he read a few pages before drifting off into a dream—one he had been having ever since he could remember, yet this time it came harder, faster, and was more painful than ever.
The pangs he suffered from this dream were there to remind him about what he had lost. There was no denying that he could have changed the outcome of the events that had led to the loss of his love. There was a certain truth when he spoke to his one confidant about the numerous events that kept these memories in his head and yet still a blur, and that truth was REGRET. There was regret where something else had been torn out. This was a thorn in his side about not being a man. Could he have changed what had happened, and if so, then what would he have done? Could he ask for another chance to run through the maze, a maze where he would gladly starve looking for the cheese? But this was his lot in life. As long as he could remember, he had chosen the sequence of events that laid the foundation of what he had become. That fact clearly still held true. It was in the past. That is where these fevered dreams came into meaning. For a man whose soul was wracked with regret, they served as a reminder. Why do people let others torture one's soul when they can do such a great job on their own? The clear thought was more of a wisp of smoke rather than anything as tangible as the pain about to come.

Lebanon Valley Brethren Home Releases New Video Highlighting Their Green House homes
By Jeff Shireman / Posted on January 6th, 2016
At Lebanon Valley Brethren Home we believe in empowering our elders and providing innovative ways to care for their needs both in mind, body and spirit. This video is the story about our Green House homes, which are designed to serve those who need the highest level of nursing care.
We decided to tell our story by video for a few different reasons. First and foremost, we wanted to create a clear and visual way to describe The Green House model to prospective elders and their families. Because we limit outside visits to preserve the value of 'real home',video is another way to create that "seeing is believing" experience.
Additionally, this video is a great way to educate our team, community and stakeholders about The Green House model. By ensuring that our network understands the value of this model and the life that we are creating at Lebanon Valley Brethren Home, we are looking forward to their support in building more Green House homes in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to watch our video, and if you would like to learn more about our community, please visit our website.

LUC8K is a Pattern of Numbers
I find numbers to be a source of inspiration. They are fun and beautiful. Most of all numbers excite my mind. Growing up with a father who is an astrophysicist, at an early age I learned how numerical patterns encompass all that is life.
If you look closely at the center of a daisy you will find that it is made up of spirals that go out from the center. Nature is all about Math, whether it's the number of petals on a flower or the number of spirals on a pineapple. All of these applications are known as Fibonacci numbers.
What I find most inspirational about them are the beautiful patterns they display.
That's why at LUC8K we think of numbers, equally with nature, culture, passion and efficiency as core values.
Turned sideways 8 is the symbol for infinity ∞. Steeped in ancient religion, modern mysticism and in mathematics, it has no edges, no beginning and no end. The number 8 is LUC8K's lucky number. Our genuine Italian fabric liner contains the bespoke LUC8K bag code, used in all of our luxurious leather accessories. It is quilted onto the bottom of our leather bags using gold metallic thread as our trademark, guaranteeing that you own an original and genuine LUC8K product.
