text: 000 FXUS63 KDMX 142343 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 543 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Monday/ Issued at 304 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 Initial shortwave trough has impacted the southern forecast area much of the day and will continue to push southeastward into the OH valley region this evening. Stronger upper trough digging through ND will continue to dig southeastward through the forecast area tonight, with the upper low closing off and remaining in place across the region into Monday. At the surface have an area of low pressure stretching from far SW Ontario through nrn MN and into NE SD. Strong southerly flow in advance of this system with WAA in place today and moisture advection. Band of snow oriented along the sfc trough axis and ahead of it in vicinity of the baroclinic zone aloft, with a westward extent along the cold front moving through SE ND and wrn SD. As the low drops southeastward into the state this evening, the area of snow to move through from northwest to southeast bringing a burst of fairly intense snowfall to the forecast area. Snow already beginning to move into far northwest Iowa, and should continue to translate southeast through midnight. Expect a brief period of 1-3 hours where visibilities drop to around 1-2 miles or less with the snow. Given the brief burst of snow, expect a quick 1-2 inches, especially in the northeastern half of the forecast area. As the snow tapers off, northwest winds are expected to pick up behind the cold front. Strong sfc pres gradient in place, with an isallobaric push toward 06-09z across much of the area, far south 09-12z. Bufkit winds showing 25 to 30 kts in the mixed layer which given the strong CAA should allow much of these winds to transfer to the sfc. Therefore expect sustained winds behind the front of around 25 mph, with gusts possible to 35-40 mph. This should result in some areas of blowing snow late tonight into early Monday. Some concern as to how low visibilities may be reduced given the fact that the strong winds will occur after the end of the snow. Therefore expect mainly vsbys into the 2-5 mile range with the winds, and more widespread drifting of snow across roads into Monday morning. Even though winds stay up into Tuesday afternoon/evening, the snowpack should blow itself out, with the snow becoming compacted sometime late tonight into early Monday. Therefore just kept the BLSN mention in through 18z Monday. Temperatures to fall with the increasing winds tonight behind the front, will send wind chills falling late tonight into the 20s to 30s below range. These low values continue into Monday, with a few hours where they may rise above wind chill advisory/warning criteria. However values will dip again into Monday evening, therefore have upgraded the north into a Wind Chill Warning starting late tonight, and expanded the advisory to the south across much of the forecast area. .LONG TERM.../Monday night through Sunday/ Issued at 304 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 Another surge of cold air to filter southward into the forecast area as the upper trough continues to wobble across the area aloft. This should result in a blanket of low stratus in place and possibly some flurries in the cyclonic flow pattern aloft Monday night into Tuesday. Additionally, winds to remain up through Monday night into Tuesday with the arctic air in place. This will keep wind chills in the 20s below to 30s below range into Tuesday morning as temperatures drop into the 5 below to 15 below range Tuesday night. Therefore continued the wind chill headlines into Tuesday morning. Upper trough to begin to shift eastward late Tuesday with some moderation in temperatures expected for mid-week and upper ridging across the central US. Therefore have dry conditions for Tuesday into Friday, with temperatures warming each day. Expect temps into the 30s and 40s toward Friday as WAA picks up ahead of deepening southwestern US upper trough. This system will eject northeastward through the central US and is on track to bring the next widespread chance of precipitation to the state. Currently temperatures will hover around freezing and could bring a rain/snow mix to much of the forecast area for mainly late Saturday into Sunday. && .AVIATION.../For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening/ Issued at 543 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 Poor aviation weather is expected this evening with a band of snow moving across central Iowa. Anticipate around a 3-4 hour window of IFR conditions at most airports with restricted visibilities and ceilings from falling snow. Once the snow ends, strong northwest winds will develop overnight with blowing snow, especially in the northern half of the state. This may restrict visibilities from time to time to MVFR. Otherwise, MVFR to VFR conditions will persist into Monday with strong northwest winds persisting along with lingering ceilings. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Chill Advisory from 3 AM Monday to noon CST Tuesday for IAZ027-028-038-039-044>050-057>062-070>075-081>086.

Native Client is now enabled for Chrome Web Store apps in Google Chrome's beta channel.
"Native Client apps live on the web platform, so you don't need to create separate versions of your app for each operating system. Rather than relying on OS-specific APIs, Native Client apps use Pepper, a set of interfaces that provide C and C++ bindings to the capabilities of HTML5. This means that once you've ported your code to Native Client, it will work across different operating systems, and you only need to maintain one code base," informs Christian Stefansen, Product Manager.
"Today Native Client supports the Pepper APIs for 2D graphics, stereo audio, URL fetching, sandboxed local file access (File API), and asynchronous message passing to and from JavaScript. In future releases we will be adding support for hardware accelerated 3D graphics (OpenGL ES 2.0), fullscreen mode, networking (WebSockets and peer-to-peer connections), and much more."
"Native Client is a very complex framework that allows browsers to run native compiled code in a sandbox. Google's goal is to "maintain the OS portability and safety that people expect from web apps", while allowing developers to use their preferred language. Right now, the only supported languages are C and C++ and Native Client only works in Chrome for Windows, Mac and Linux," stated Stefansen.
"To ensure that Native Client is as safe as JavaScript, Native Client code is isolated from the operating system by two nested security sandboxes: the Native Client sandbox and the Chrome sandbox. And unlike NPAPI plugins or ActiveX controls, Native Client apps do not have access to the underlying OS APIs."
Google encourages developers to start developing apps with Native Client. "You can download the SDK and find tutorials, examples, API documentation, and our FAQ on the Native Client site. Once version 14 of Chrome hits stable channel, you'll be able to upload your Native Client apps to the Chrome Web Store, where you can reach Chrome's 160 million users," Stefansen added.
Chrome 14 users can try the examples from this gallery: a pi generator, a sine wave synthesizer and John Conway's Game of Life.

ZURICH (Reuters) - UBS is not considering spinning off its investment bank, its chief executive Sergio Ermotti said on Monday, rebuffing speculation last week it may consider such a move to quieten demands for it to put aside more capital.
"We are not considering that option," Ermotti said, according to comments made in an interview with Bloomberg Television that have been confirmed by a spokesman for the bank.
"We have very defined assets and capital that we want to put at work in the investment bank, and the business model works. Therefore, there is no necessity for us to make changes," Ermotti said.
Mediobanca analysts said on Thursday the Swiss bank may be thinking about spinning off its investment bank - and could even resuscitate its old SG Warburg brand - to fend off demands that it put aside yet more capital to protect private banking clients from its investment activities.
The Swiss bank has cut 2,000 jobs of a promised 10,000 under a three-year plan to quit fixed income trading seen by regulators as high risk - but that has not been enough for Swiss politicians who are considering tougher rules to curb borrowing by it and Credit Suisse.
"The businesses that may be affected the most by a higher leverage ratio is our mortgage portfolio, is our corporate loan portfolio in Switzerland," Ermotti said. "To imply necessarily that a higher leverage ratio means that the investment bank is the one most affected is too much of a simple conclusion."
UBS has been scrutinized since its 2008 bailout by the Swiss government, and is also under pressure from activist shareholder Knight Vinke to dispose of its investment bank altogether. UBS has always refused to do this on the grounds that it is a key strategy pillar. A spokesman told Reuters on Thursday the bank's strategy included the investment bank.
"Investment banking is very strategic for us," Ermotti said in Monday's interview. "We have been making a lot of changes to our strategy. The strategy is working, and is one that is focused on supporting our clients in wealth management, corporate and institutionals."

Porecomesis wrote:Oh, that's actually really cool to know. Out of curiosity, what tone would you say the game conveys or attempts to convey?
Depends on which version you're playing. The story is the same between both versions and is fairly light-hearted, though it does have some serious moments here and there. Gameplay-wise, the Wii version feels very reminiscent of NiGHTS and has more of a focus on the experience of flying itself. Enemies and boss fights are present, but complicated aerial combat scenarios are not the main focus in the Wii version. I was surprised to discover that Rodea does not have a health bar in the Wii version; if he gets hit once, he dies, but you can collect a power-up in stages that will allow him to absorb a second hit.
Conversely, the 3DS and WiiU versions has a stronger focus on aerial combat. Rodea has a health bar in this version and his abilities can be upgraded to improve their effectiveness. The levels in the WiiU version seem wider and platforms have more nooks and crannies to explore, while in the Wii version the levels seem more streamlined. Both games feature bonus areas within individual levels, but they're arranged differently depending on which version you're playing.
Controlling Rodea feels really smooth across both versions. Both games convey a strong sense of freedom and adventure. There's an old-school sensibility to Rodea game design that I haven't encountered in a modern game for a long time, to the point where playing the game actually made me nostalgic for the games of 15-20 years ago. There really isn't anything like Rodea on the market these days, which is one of the main reasons I'm so excited we're bringing it over.

Another Article that shows the amazing Market that Ottawa has been!!!! Great time to move up, down, or sideways!!!!! If you're sitting on the fence, take the leap!!! Don't be the one to say 'Oh, I should have (bought or sold) in 2009' Read on:
Ottawa home sellers rub hands over hot market
By Beth Johnston, Sun Media
Last Updated: 14th July 2009, 7:11am
The end is near.
And that's a good thing.
If you're looking to sell your home, you're in luck as pent-up demand has turned residential real estate into a sellers' market, according to a Re/Max report on the Canadian Real Estate Association statistics released Monday.
June sales in Canada's largest markets, Toronto and Vancouver, were among the highest in history.
In Ottawa, last month 12.5% more homes were sold than the year before — a third record-setting month.
With fear-inducing recession talk dominating the news last fall and winter, homebuyers who were sitting in wait are now coming out in droves.
In almost every price range, sellers are getting multiple offers on quality homes in what has become a sellers' market.
Canadian real estate markets began to recover in March, and sales grew even more in April, May and June. This upturn is expected to continue, with year-ends expected to meet or surpass 2008.
That prediction is music to the ears of Ottawa Realtor Charles Yellen.
"I think finally people are realizing they have to get on with their lives," he said.
All of the bad news about the economy scared a lot of people away from real estate, he said.
"It's tough to make a major purchase decision, not knowing whether their income will be there to support their buying decision."
One of the reasons sellers are getting more than one offer is there aren't that many houses on the market. Inventory levels peaked in April and are now dropping. Locally, single family homes priced between $275,000 to $375,000 are hard to find.
For the past six to eight months, it's been a buyers' market, but the change comes right in time for Grace Reid, who just listed her family home of 28 years.
Reid, whose husband Bill died three years ago, has decided to sell the couple's three-bedroom Buxton Cres. bungalow and move into a condo near the Hunt Club golf course.
She's hoping one of the groups who've been through her house, which is listed at $329,900, will decide soon to call it home.
It was bittersweet, selling the home which holds so many memories, but Reid wanted to strike while the iron is hot.
"It's sad, it's another little closing," she said.
"There comes a time, you know when to hold and you know when to fold."
Yellen thinks the upturn in real estate is indicative of the public mood.
"People are just feeling more confident that this is going to turn around," he said.

The following is an excerpt from Reading Barth with Charity, by George Hunsinger.
A major reason why Barth insists that Jesus Christ is the Subject of election is that he wants to rectify a problem in the tradition. He wants to overcome the view—found in virtually all medieval and Reformation sources—that posits Jesus Christ as merely the object of election.
For Barth, Jesus Christ is not merely its object nor can he be relegated (as with Calvin) merely to the "executive" branch. As the second "person" of the Trinity, the eternal Son (in union with Jesus of Nazareth) belongs (with the Father and the Holy Spirit) to the "legislative" branch in God's pretemporal decision of election.
"In [Jesus Christ]," writes Barth, "we have to do not merely with elected man but with the electing God" (II/2, 108). Jesus Christ is the electing God and the elected man in one. "The name of Jesus Christ has within itself the double reference: the One called by this name is both very God and very man. Thus the simplest form of the dogma may be divided at once into the two assertions that Jesus Christ is the electing God, and that he is also elected man" (II/2, 103). In the mystery of his one divine-human reality, Jesus Christ is the Subject of election as God and the object of election as man.
Barth enters an important clarification:
We have laid down and developed two statements concerning the election of Jesus Christ. The first is that Jesus Christ is the electing God. This statement answers the question of the Subject of the eternal election of grace. And the second is that Jesus Christ is elected man. This statement answers the question of the object of the eternal election of grace. Strictly speaking, the whole dogma of predestination is contained in these two statements. (II/2, 145)
Jesus Christ is the Subject of election in an internally differentiated way. He is its Subject not only as God but also as man, but first and primarily as God. "As we have to do with Jesus Christ," writes Barth, "we have to do with the electing God" (II/2, 54). Or again, "Jesus Christ . . . in his own person is himself the God who freely elects and then acts towards the creature, the One behind and above whom there is no other God and no other election. . . . Christ is the electing God" (II/2, 68).
The tradition was right to see that the man Jesus is the object of election but wrong to forget that by virtue of the hypostatic union he is also and primarily the electing God.

Busy Week
Ethan turned 3 weeks old yesterday and he's been keeping busy. On Saturday he made his first trip to Wegmans and slept through all the aisles. He woke up at the register, but was asleep again by the time we got to the car.
Sunday his great-grandparents were up visiting for the day so we went over to grandma Joyce's house for lunch. We already a good visit, although uncle Robert was very jealous and on bad behavior.
On Wednesday, Heather brought him in to visit me at work during lunch. He got to meet all my co-workers, although we warned him about Bruce.
On Thursday, Heather brought him with us to my neurosurgeon appointment. He slept during the ride up and back, but woke up for a little while to meet everyone at the office.
We're still hoping for a nice day to make a family trip to the farm for some apple picking, cider, and donuts. Forecast doesn't look promising so we might just settle for the cider and donuts.
First Checkup
Heather took Ethan to his first doctor appointment today. Dr said he is doing great. While he was there his umbilical button fell off. Ethan was awake and alert the whole time and only cried when he got his shot.
At home Heather and Ethan are both wonderful. Ethan's sleep schedule is still a little off and he's been staying up late and sleeping a lot during the day. Otherwise he is a very good baby. Very little fussing and lots of sleeping. When he is awake he is very alert and loves to hangout in his bouncer chair or butterfly gym.
Over the weekend Ethan had a wonderful visit with John's family. He got to meet his Aunt Kathy, Uncle Peter, and Aunt Kate for the first time. Ethan also went to his first hockey game on Saturday night and slept through the whole thing.
Heather and Ethan were discharged from the hospital today and arrived home just after noon. After a 5 night stay in the hospital, Heather was eager to return home and Ethan, well, slept the whole way.
The dogs were very excited to see Heather, but behaved themselves. When we brought Ethan in they didn't seem to notice much, but the first time he cried Reuben became extremely interested. After many treats and doggy timeouts he settled down and for the time being has lost interest. We're sure that every new sound and smell that Ethan makes will draw Reuben's attention, but the initial greeting has passed successfully.
Casey, on the other hand, was wonderful. She sniffed Ethan up and down and immediately accepted him into our family. She is still very interested in sniffing him and I'm sure he will get the occasional face wash, but all is well.
Now mom and baby are napping while I wait for our new armoir to be delivered.
Doing Great!
Heather and Ethan continue to do great. Ethan is breast feeding and spent the whole day in Heather's room. Many visitors and phone calls, but mom found time to get some sleep.
Heather was taken off the IV and was able to go for several walks around the maternity wing and down to the nursery. Her doctor stopped by and thinks she may be able to come home Friday.
Lots of new baby pictures on the site. Make sure you go to the New Pictures category on the Pictures page to see them all.
Ethan is born!
Yay! Heather had the baby at 12:47 am on 10/2/02. She was induced again and dilated to almost 4 cm before the midwife broke her water. Contractions came quickly after that. after almost 8 hours of labor she called it quits. The doctor checked her out and decided on a c-section. Turns out Ethan was trying to come rotated on his side, the widest diameter, and it just wasn't going to work.
The doctors and nurses were amazed his foot wouldn't fit on the inkpad. Official weight is 10 lbs 4 oz and his length is 23 inches.
So far he has been a perfect baby. He was able to nurse at 4am and several times after that. Heather is recovering very well and Ethan is doing wonderful. Heather and Ethan will hopefully be discharged on Saturday.
Stay tuned for more pictures!
Congratulations to John for guessing the closest birthday and to Uncle Pete for the closest weight.

Garage Sale Haul 3
My daughter just hit a growth spurt and grew out of her 18 month clothes. I was looking online for garage sales that were selling girl clothes and came across this one.
When I arrived, I found that they were selling high-quality girl clothes for .25-.50 cents each!!!
This is one of the BEST deals I've seen in my 20+ years of garage selling. The clothes were great quality and in like-new condition.
The girls shoes were only $1.00 a pair as well—I've rarely seen a deal that good either.
So, I decided that I should buy almost all of the girl clothes and many of the shoes ranging from 2T-5T that they had. I did have to run to the bank for another $45.00 But when all was said and done…
I have 3 solid years of clothing (PJ's, pants, shorts, coats, swimsuits, and shoes) for Aurora plus enough for about a half year when she is 5—all for $145.00!!!
I will sort and box up the 4T, & 5T clothing and wash and put the 2T & 3T clothing in her totes and closet.
What I thought was really cool is that the lady hosting this garage sale donated all money made to St. Jude's charity. I quite like St. Jude's Charity. So that was another really amazing thing about this sale!
Yesterday, I went to a yard sale to pick up a weed-eater for my lawn. I searched weed-eater in our online classifieds and found this ad.
I saw that she mentioned she was selling Lincoln Logs. I have been wanting to get Lincoln Logs for my son's and my 'Special Play Time' that we have daily to work on bonding and behavior. We like to switch things up so I'm always on the hunt for interactive activities, toys, and games.
I arrived and the weed-eater was a bargain (like-new for $15.00).
The Lincoln Logs were a fair price (a 75 piece set for $5.00). I also bought some blocks ($3.00) and a wooden train set ($7.00) for 'Special Play Time.' Aurora got a free doll.
I found something for me as well: a vintage mirror ($15.00) for a spot I needed filled in the upstairs hallway.
I only went to one garage sale yesterday (a total of 30 minutes) and one today (about an hour) and came away saving thousands.
I have found it's best to look/search for ads that have the things I need. I was blown away by the finds this weekend. Next on my list (when I have more time) is to start stocking up on 5T and Small boy clothes for my son. He is growing out of the 4T wardrobe I've found at garage sales for him.
Really, if you garage sale strategically, you can save tens of thousands a year! I do it every year. What is perhaps surprising to many is that the way I garage sale isn't super time consuming. Read this post here to find out how.
Happy Garage Sale-ing!!

4 Responses to Garage Sale Haul 3
Congratulations on your finds! This is especially helpful with younger kids. We were very fortunate that we were given hand-me-downs from very good friends of ours who had kids that were just a year or two older than ours. Anything that can save money, whether hand-me-downs or bargains at garage sales is fantastic!
That's an impressive amount of clothing/shoes for that price! What a great bargain! It's great that the money was going to such a wonderful cause, too.

Common Mental Health Disorders and Frequently Prescribed Medication Treatments
Psychological distress and/or mental health disorders significantly impact a person's life in various ways. Ranging from mild to severe, one in four adults experience one or more mental health disorders in a given year in the US. Education and awareness are key to receiving early and adequate treatment.
Mental health disorders appear in many different ways and are classified quite differently. Common known disorders are anxiety, depressions, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder and other personality disorders.
If you or someone you know is suspected of having a mental health concern seeking professional help is essential. The information provided below should only be used as a foundation and guide as an actual diagnosis must come from a licensed professional who has personally reviewed your claims. Also a single symptoms does not equate to a diagnosis as most diagnoses are comprised from a cluster of signs.
Common Treatment For Mental Health Disorders
Most often treatment for common mental health disorders include some medication therapy. However, medication is not the only option. Talk therapies work quite well with most disorders. Yet, medication therapy is widely disseminated due to the buy in by most pharmaceutical companies. Talk therapy is a great way to get to the bottom of the impairment and function of the disorder. Usually the disorders are manifested over time and thereby respond to such treatments.
For educational purposes, below are listed common disorders as well as most frequently used medication. It is important to recognize the medications most often prescribed so that one is informed about what is put into the body. Do not be mislead to believe that the only treatment is medication as many of the substances listed below have addictive qualities, side effects and withdrawal symptoms.
- Feeling down
- Melancholy
- Lack of pleasure from previously pleasurable activities
- Unable to identify what is wrong
Depressive disorders are the leading cause of disability in those ages 15-44. Depression can be either transient and short term or chronic. No matter how you experience depression there is treatment easily available. Common treatment for depression includes medication and talk therapies. Successful talk therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy that identifies thought processes that motivate the depression.
Medication for Depression
Medication that is successful in treating depression is extension. So I have listed some commonly prescribed medications:
- Cymbalta (duloxetine HCL)
- Desyrel (trazodone)
- Dexedrine Effexor (venlafaxine)
- Elavil (amitriptyline)
- Lexapro (excitalopram oxalate)
- Luvox (fluvoxamine)
- Norpramin (desipramine)
- Paxil (paroxetine)
- Prozac (fluoxetine)
- Symbyax (prozac-zyprexa combination)
- Tofranil (imipramine)
- Wellbutrin (bupropion)
- Zoloft (sertraline)
Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all.— Bill Clinton
- Nervousness
- Sweating palms
- Pounding chest or heart beat
- Inability to identify the origination of the nervousness
- Panic without cause
Anxiety is another highly experienced mental health disorder. The disorder usually results as a reaction to stress though becomes out of the individuals control and over time can cause significant distress. Medication and talk therapies are also ordinary treatment for anxiety.
Medications for Anxiety
- Ativan (lorazepam)
- Buspar (buspirone)
- Centrax (prazepam)
- Inderal (propranolol)
- Klonopin (clonazepam)
- Librium (chlordiazepoxide)
- Paxipam (halazepam)
- Tranxene (clorazepate)
- Valium (diazepam)
- Xanax (alprazolam)
- Hallucinations- seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear
- Delusions- Thoughts that are not based in reality
- Diminished or no desire to be around others
- Flattened affect or no facial expression
- Unable to feel happy
Schizophrenia, a severe mental illness that is experienced by only one percent of the population requires early and long-term interventions. Interventions that are essential include medication therapy and monitoring of symptoms.
Medications for Schizophrenia
- Clozaril (clozapine)
- Haldol (haloperidol)
- Loxitane (loxapine)
- Mellaril (thioridazine)
- Moban (molindone)
- Navane (thiothixene)
- Risperdal (risperidone)
- Zyprexa (olanzapine)
- Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate)
- Serentil (mesoridazine)
- Sertindole (serlect)
- Stlazine (trifluoperazine)
- Thorazine (chlorpromazine)
- Trilafon (perphenazine)
Do you know at least one person with a mental health diagnosis?
Bi-Polar Disorder (previously manic-depressive disorder)
- Change in mood in excess of standard mood swings
- Extreme feeling of happiness or sadness that arise out of nowhere
- Lack of impulse control such as overspending, multiple sexual encounters (many times unprotected), superman syndrome (feeling of being able to conquer the world)
Those with Bi-Polar disorder usually require closely monitored treatment especially those that experience mania. Mania is a heightened emotional state where judgment becomes strained and irrational and erratic behaviors result and one can become a danger to self and others. Medication is usually required of these individuals in order to maintain stable emotionality.
Medications for Bi-Polar Disorder
- Depakote (divalproex sodium)
- Lamictal (lamotrigine)
- Lithane, Lithobid, Lithonate, Eskatlith (lithium)
- Neurontin (gabapentin)
- Tegretol (carbamazepine)
Other Treatment Options
Commonly sought out and recommended treatment relies heavily on medication. However, that is not the only type of treatment that is successful in managing mental health disorders. Treatment that lasts far beyond the dosage of medication include talk therapies, meditation, fitness and diet.
Maintaining a well balanced meal plan affords the body the essential nutrients needed for energy, agility and endurance. Fatigue commonly results from unbalanced nourishment which often mimics depressive symptoms. Also, by getting the body moving serotonin is produced. Serotonin is a chemical produced in the brain that is related to positive moods. Most antidepressants are filled with synthetic versions of serotonin. As a result, self induced methods of creating serotonin is best.
Additional self-help tools that can lead a person away from medication includes mediation and reading material. Meditation teaches a person to reduce and control anxiety producing emotions. Learning how to meditate can be found through various sources online and with different reading material. Self-help books also show how to manage overwhelming emotions and how to avoid using medication.
Seeking Treatment
No matter the situation if your behavior or feelings are causing distress, seeking out a professional may be helpful. Many times the first step is the hardest and finding resources may not be readily available depending on the area in which you live. Mental illness remains to be frequently stigmatized and treatment is commonly delayed or avoided as a result.
You may need a professional opinion when:

Researchers at IBM, using movement data collected from millions of cell-phone users in Ivory Coast in West Africa, have developed a new model for optimizing an urban transportation system.
The IBM model prescribed changes in bus routes around the around Abidjan, the nation's largest city. These changes—based on people's movements as discerned from cell-phone records—could, in theory, slash travel times 10 percent.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's attempt to keep his state's agencies from releasing detailed data on the use of the public-assistance system by the Tsarnaev family, whose sons, one dead and one in custody, are accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, appeared to be successful last week.
Ah, but Patrick, apparently feeling some heat, did agree "to release the information only to a House oversight committee where it will remain a secret." Except it's not a secret any more, at least in the aggregate, based on a report in the Boston Herald by Chris Cassidy which, based on when story comments first began appearing, went up during the middle of the afternoon today….

Fox News has two related stories regarding State Department and CIA employees who reportedly have information they wish to offer about the Obama administration's conduct in relation to the Benghazi attack. According to a lawyer for one of these whistle-blowers, the information pertains to (1) the State Department's failure, prior to the attack, to provide proper security despite warnings that should have led to a security beef-up (2) the government's response (or non-respone) during the attack, and (3) the Obama administration's inaccurate and/or misleading statements about the attack after it had occurred.
Those of us who remember the media feeding-frenzy during the so-called 'Iran-Contra scandal' in Reagan's second term are not surprised at all that this isn't getting any attention from the Usual Suspects.

A special operations member who witnessed the attack on the U.S. Mission unfold in Benghazi, Libya on September 11 last year, as well as debriefed those who took part in the response, spoke with Fox News' Adam Housley on Monday night and revealed information that directly contradicts the administration's insistence that there was not enough time nor resources to send to Benghazi to help State Department employees, contractors, and intel operatives who were under a terrorist attack. FNC kept their source's identity hidden, as witnesses to the Benghazi attack have reportedly been intimidated by the administration into silence. The assault left four Americans dead, including U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens.
"I know for a fact that C110 was doing a training exercise not in the region of northern Africa but in Europe and they have the ability to react and respond," the special ops member told FNC.

Today, Nicola Pugno at the University of Trento in Italy reveals a remarkably simple trick that dramatically increases the toughness of almost any kind of fibre. Indeed, Pugno says he has used the technique to create the world's toughest fibre.
The new idea is deceptively simple–it involves no more than tying a slip knot in the fibre, creating a loop of extra fibre that can passes through the knot as it comes under tension.
The mechanism is straightforward. When the fibre is placed in tension, the slip knot begins to tighten and the extra material passes through the knot, dissipating energy through friction.

Victor Davis Hanson has the answer.
Classics are more than books of virtues. Homer and Sophocles certainly remind us of the value of courage, without which Aristotle lectures us there can be no other great qualities. Instead, the Greeks and Romans might better remind this generation of the ironic truths, the paradoxes of human behavior and groupthink.

Additive manufacturing—the industrial version of 3-D printing—is already used to make some niche items, such as medical implants, and to produce plastic prototypes for engineers and designers. But the decision to mass-produce a critical metal-alloy part to be used in thousands of jet engines is a significant milestone for the technology. And while 3-D printing for consumers and small entrepreneurs has received a great deal of publicity, it is in manufacturing where the technology could have its most significant commercial impact (see "The Difference Between Makers and Manufacturers," January/February 2013).

Ramit Sethi with some inconvenient truth.
Foreign people don't give a damn about calling you fat. Go find any Spanish/Indian/Asian person and ask them if their foreign relatives have ever called them fat.
They will look at you bewildered. "Of course. Every time I visit."
White people are speechless upon hearing this. But it happens.
When I went to visit India a few years ago, I had moved on from being a skinny Indian dude to actually gaining a little muscle. One of my uncles took one look at me and said, "You have become very fat."
Another uncle saw me, squeezed my bicep, and said, "Aray! Been working out?"
Here's the difference: The first uncle who called me fat…is overweight! The second uncle, who knew I'd been working out is ultra-fit.
Who do you want to listen to?
Everyone has an opinion. One of the keys to mastering my personal psychology has been choosing who to listen to — and who can be smiled at, then ignored.

Whenever someone provides a service to A that is paid not by A but by B, then the provider is going to try to game the system, quite often with the connivance of A. This is how government works, and why it is always the target of thieves. The only way around that is a true free market, in which A pays for his own stuff.

The Economist returns to the reservation and builds a McMansion.
Although the groups covered by affirmative action tend to be poorer than their neighbours, the individuals who benefit are often not. One American federal-contracting programme favours businesses owned by "socially and economically disadvantaged" people. Such people can be 87 times richer than the average American family and still be deemed "disadvantaged" if their skin is the right colour. One beneficiary of South Africa's programme of "Black Economic Empowerment" is worth an estimated $675m; he is also the deputy president of the ruling party. Letting members of certain groups charge more and still win public contracts is nice for the few who own construction firms; less so for the many who rely on public services. The same goes for civil-service quotas. When jobs are dished out for reasons other than competence, the state grows less competent, as anyone who has wrestled with Indian or Nigerian officialdom can attest. Moreover, rules favouring businesses owned by members of particular groups are easy to game. Malaysians talk of "Ali-Baba" firms, where Ali (an ethnic Malay) lends his name, for a fee, to Baba (a Chinese businessman) to win a government contract.

Not something that you'd expect to find in the Washington Post.
In my years as a journalist, I have written and spoken a great deal about women's lives and struggles, and wrote a book about the conflicts facing successful female professionals. But today, 16 years into life as a working mother and 23 years into a marriage, I've come to question many of the truths I once held dear. The woman I wanted to be at 22 is not the woman I wanted to be at 38 — not even close — and she is certainly not who I am now at 55.
When life meets ideology, ideology tends to lose.
The debate has become twisted and simplistic, as if we're merely trying to figure out how women can become more like men.
That has defined the core of 'feminism' since the 60s. Kinda late to the party….
During my high school years in the early 1970s, revolution was in the air. Across the bay was Berkeley, the home of free speech. Twenty miles up the road was Haight-Ashbury, the home of free love. And almost everyone I knew was protesting Vietnam and embracing civil rights.
I had similar experiences. But I never liked those people. I suspect that history has proven me right — they weren't really very likeable.

Kenneth Thorpe, chairman of the health policy and management school at Emory University, estimates that 95 percent of spending in Medicare goes to patients with one or more chronic conditions — with enrollees suffering five or more chronic conditions accounting for 78 percent of its spending. "This is the Willie Sutton rule," he says. "If 80 percent of the spending is going to patients with five or more conditions, that's where our health-care system needs to go."
Health Quality Partners is all about going there. The program enrolls Medicare patients with at least one chronic illness and one hospitalization in the past year. It then sends a trained nurse to see them every week, or every month, whether they're healthy or sick. It sounds simple and, in a way, it is. But simple things can be revolutionary.
Most care-management systems rely on nurses sitting in call centers, checking up on patients over the phone. That model has mostly been a failure. And while many health systems send a nurse regularly in the weeks or months after a serious hospitalization, few send one regularly to even seemingly healthy patients. This a radical redefinition of the health-care system's role in the lives of the elderly. It redefines being old and chronically ill as a condition requiring professional medical management.
Health Quality Partners' results have been extraordinary. According to an independent analysis by the consulting firm Mathematica, HQP has reduced hospitalizations by 33 percent and cut Medicare costs by 22 percent.
Others in the profession have taken notice. "It's like they've discovered the fountain of youth in Doylestown, Pa.," marvels Jeffrey Brenner, founder of the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers.
Now Medicare is thinking of shutting it off.

Author John C. Wright discusses what we learn from science fiction.
In no story about detectives solving a murder or heiresses wondering what baron to wed will you find anything told from the point of view of a nonhuman intelligent creature. All other genres, from Westerns to War Stories to Historical drama to mainstream tales about college professors cheating on their wives, are told from within the human realm of human nature and can never leave it. In science fiction and in science fiction alone is there an opportunity to step outside the human realm, and turn, and look, and to see the mask of man from the outside. Only in science fiction can we speculate on what humans look like to intelligent nonhumans.

Currently the United States imports a vast majority of its lithium, but the newly-unearthed reserve — located at Rock Springs, Wyoming — could transform the US from "a significant lithium importer to an independent lithium producer" according to experts at the university's Carbon Management Institute.

If you take three ordinary gears and put them together so that each gear meshes with the other two, then none of the gears can turn because neighbouring gears must turn in opposite directions. Triple gear avoids this problem by having the three "gears" arranged like linked rings – the gears then rotate along skew axes, and the opposite direction rule no longer applies (although see also Oskar van Deventer's Magic Gears for another possible solution).
Astonishing. I don't see anyway to make such a gear except with 3D printing.

Hint: Yes.
… recent studies show that the use of ethanol and biodiesel does not reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For many years, proponents of decarbonization assumed that the burning of biofuels would be "carbon neutral." The carbon neutral concept assumes that as plants grow they absorb carbon dioxide equal to the amount released when burned. If true, the substitution of ethanol for gasoline would reduce emissions.
But a 2011 opinion from the Science Committee of the European Environment Agency pointed out what it called a "serious accounting error." The carbon neutral concept does not consider vegetation that would naturally grow on land used for biofuel production. Since biofuels are less efficient than gasoline or diesel fuel, they actually emit more CO2 per mile driven than hydrocarbon fuels, when proper accounting is used for carbon sequestered in natural vegetation. Further, a 2011 study for the National Academy of Sciences found that, "…production of ethanol as fuel to displace gasoline is likely to increase such air pollutants as particulate matter, ozone, and sulfur oxides."

Because these bacteria thrive in wet conditions and produce spores during dry spells, the smell of geosmin is often most pronounced when it rains for the first time in a while, because the largest supply of spores has collected in the soil.

Slate has the dirty.
Wait long enough and everything bad for you is good again. Sugar? Naturally better than high-fructose corn syrup. Chocolate? A bar a day keeps the doctor away. Caffeine? Bring it on.
Lard, however, has always been a ridiculously hard sell. Over at least the last 15 years, it's repeatedly been given a clean bill of health, and good cooks regularly point out how superior this totally natural fat is for frying and pastries. But that hasn't been enough to keep Americans from recoiling—lard's negative connotations of flowing flesh and vats of grease and epithets like lardass and tub of lard have been absurd hurdles. But no longer. I'm convinced that the redemption of lard is finally at hand because we live in a world where trendiness is next to godliness. And lard hits all the right notes, especially if you euphemize it as rendered pork fat—bacon butter.

Erick Erickson turns over a rock and finds — surprise! — the lamestream media.
It is amazing that within a one week period the media went from speculating that right wingers were celebrating Hitler's birthday on tax day to blaming Chechen nationalism to hearing the bomber say he was inspired by Islam to announcing it's not him, it's us to blame.
Had it been a tea partier who launched a terror attack at the Boston Marathon, the media would spend weeks blaming Republicans, conservatives, talk radio rhetoric, and Fox News hosts for inspiring the bombing.
But because the bomber himself says he was inspired by his religious faith and that faith happens to be Islam, the media will ascribe other reasons to explain the attack that are more palatable to the its liberal sensibilities. As often happens in these cases, the media quickly descends into blaming America first.

Ever since the Clinton administration agreed in 1999 to make $50,000 payments to thousands of black farmers, the Hispanics and women had been clamoring in courtrooms and in Congress for the same deal. They argued, as the African-Americans had, that biased federal loan officers had systematically thwarted their attempts to borrow money to farm.
Translation: "We're fashionable minorities, too, and we want our cut of the swag!" But you knew that.
But a succession of courts — and finally the Supreme Court — had rebuffed their pleas. Instead of an army of potential claimants, the government faced just 91 plaintiffs. Those cases, the government lawyers figured, could be dispatched at limited cost.
They were wrong.
On the heels of the Supreme Court's ruling, interviews and records show, the Obama administration's political appointees at the Justice and Agriculture Departments engineered a stunning turnabout: they committed $1.33 billion to compensate not just the 91 plaintiffs but thousands of Hispanic and female farmers who had never claimed bias in court.

- This is so very interesting. Expecting to find evidence of my KLADZAN
ancestors in the village of Kladzany, Slovakia, I found them not in Kladzany, but
in the village of Vinne, previously known as Vinna Banka. That find was
fascinating in itself, as it was previously thought that the ancestors were from
the city of Vienna (the spelling is so close and old records often so smudgy).
But now, who's to say that an earlier generation might have been from
Kladzany, taken the "village" surname there, and later moved on to Vinne. The

Now I have a new predicament for us; "village surnames". Has anyone during
their searches come up against such a thing? Does anyone know common a
practice it is? Is it possible to identify a "village surname" with a particular
The ramifications are important if this was a common practice. It may mean
that the surname many of us identify with is not our families true surname. It
makes doing our genealogy much more difficult; because the "village surname"
could have been used by any family in the village. We think we are finding
relatives, when in fact they have no relationship to us what so ever.
I hope our professionals in Slovakia can shed some light on this subject.

i try to make guy friends by getting online guys to come over and hang out with me but it never really works out we talk for like 5 hours and hang out and watch TV but then they never text me or call me ever again I'm wondering if they hung out with me for so long and everything was going good what happened I wait about a week to see if they text and if they don't I text hi but never get a reply I don't get it
Most Helpful Guy
Are you overweight?00|00|0
i didn't think friends cared about weight I am over weight but I am well porportioned so it doesn't look bad and I look lighter than I really am
Okay, I"m going to be harsh but truthful.
The guys online aren't trying to see you as friends. They see you as someone they might want to date/bang. When they see you're overweight, they are going to lose interest. They are going to be too polite to tell you to your face, but that's what's happening. You aren't in a position to judge what men find attractive. My advice? Consider loosing the weight. Men like making friends with girls they could see dating/banging at some point. True story.
good pint...&well I'm just saying I'm attractive because that's what guys have told me but the guys that like me the most are the ones that into thick girls so its not like I'm saying I'm attractive but in reality I look like a 300 pound man lol but yeah I'm going to the gym more not because I want to make lots of guy friends just to be healthier and I wouldn't want to be real skinny just so someone would like me I want them to like me because I'm fun to be around if that means I can't have as many friends so be it...

This book is about collective intelligence: the creativity and resourcefulness that a group or team can bring to a collaborative problem.
The antidote to fragmentation is shared understand- ing and shared commitment. This book is about a new way to create shared understanding, and this chapter sets the stage by exploring specific ways that the forces of fragmentation work in organizations and projects.
I was working late one evening when the janitor came in to vacuum the office. I noticed that he was going back and forth over the same areas without appearing to get the lint up off the carpet. I smiled and shouted to him (the vacuum cleaner was a loud one) "It must be frustrating to have to use that vacuum cleaner." He looked at me with a sad smile and said "Not as frustrating as being told to go back and do it over!" It is that kind of pain, and it goes all the way up to the executive suite.

I don't know why but i was kinda' expecting this from our engineers. Google's April Fool trick Gmail Motion was stupid. Obviously, you cannot use motion sensing without a device to actually sense it. They didn't mention any device for it.
Anyway, check out the video after break. You'll be not-so-stunned when Gmail's spoof was turned into reality by ICT's MxR using a laptop, some code and a Microsoft Kinect.

This is not a sad story, but rather one that might make your blood boil to the point where you want to smash something. But let's start with the beginning.
Back in November I was coming back from buying some groceries. As I was opening the door to the apartment building where I live, this little [mostly black] cat dashed right in with me. I have no idea where it came from, but it sure wasn't shy. This little fellow simply followed me home. So I took her in… Lucky that my two 7 and 6 year old male cats didn't try to kill her, but she wasn't happy with their presence either.
In the end, it all worked out just fine. see below:
This black furry thing wasn't shy nor scared of being touched or even handled. I quickly discovered this was a female cat. "Sweet! I never had a female cat before" I thought to myself. Of course, I talked to my friend about it, and we decided to keep her for a while, until we find a more suitable furrever home. The little cat went in heat in about 2 – 3 weeks after finding her. Her screaming sounded as if someone was torturing her to death. I waited till it passed, and then got her spayed. Quietness returned.
There are more reasons I need a new home for Milky – this is what I named her. Ironic given her color, right? but it's mostly because she likes to nurse on tshirts and pants of a certain texture. She also LOVES milk, so now the name seems more fitting.. The most important reason is that we will be leaving the country this year [hopefully soon], and there is no way to accommodate 3 cat at the new place [with some relatives until we find a job, and a place of our own].
So we posted a few "up for adoption ads" for Milky. A few nights ago I received this phone call from an older lady showing interest in Milky [the female cat]. We decided to meet the next day, with me bringing the cat to her place. Said and done.
I wrapped the cat in a blanket as there was no need for a cat carrier, and off we went to meet the lady. Luckily, she lived some 3 bus stops away, and this means easily reachable by foot as well. As soon as the lady saw the cat, she melted -"a good sign" I thought to myself.
She led us to her place – some 5 minutes by foot away from the bus stop, on a quiet street. When we entered, I was requested to take off my shoes. She had a good point for it: that place was SO clean and everything nicely arranged. [I will most likely address etiquette rules regarding wearing shoes indoors, in the next post. Let's just say it is not really polite to ask your quests to remove them.]
I told the lady everything she needed to know about the cat, I showed the cat where the litter was, and I was ready to leave. Right before leaving, the lady informed me it is customary to give a little something in exchange for the cat, so she had prepared some bananas and a box of chocolates. I took that, my blanket, and I returned home.
Later in the evening, she called however I couldn't pick up the phone. I called her back the next morning… The lady informed me she wanted to return the cat! Yes, you read that right – to return the cat after she promised she would take good care of her and all! She complained that Milky cried, that she went on the opened window, and that the cat wanted to suck her pajamas at night. Apparently she couldn't sleep because of all these! Other than the clothes sucking, all the cats go on open windows and cry in a new house!
- if you're going to adopt a cat, expect her to cry at least the first night if she's sociable, or to hide if she's less sociable. dogs and puppies also cry the first night or two.
- your new cat or dog is an ALIVE CREATURE! it is definitely NOT a toy, piece of clothing or some other thing you can just return the next day because you changed your mind!
- having a pet is NEARLY identical to having a human baby! it requires your attention and it needs you!
Do expect your new companion to give you some headaches, but seriously, children are no different.
Milky literally LOVES knocking things over because they stand in her way… or in what he thinks is HER place.

Most of Cat Ba Island in Vietnam is designated as national park, with jungle clad limestone karsts that are home to hundreds of species of flora and fauna, including the rarest primate species in the world: the Golden Headed Langur (Cat Ba Langur).
From Cat Ba Town you can take a lot of different tours to Cat Ba National Park where you can hike through the jungle. The longest trail is around 18km and takes all day. It was scorching hot when we were there, so we settled on a short half day tour to the park which included a stop at the Hospital Cave, and a 4km hike to the top of one of the mountains inside the park.
From the Cat Ba National Park entrance, our guide took us along a flat concrete path that leads up towards the mountains. As we started hiking, we quickly entered the jungle where the already humid air became even worse. The climb at this stage was gentle and steps made the ascent fairly easy.
The sounds of the forest surrounded us as we turned right at a fork in the trail and continued to climb. The sweat was already pouring off me when we came to a section of ladders that we had to climb up to get past some small rocky cliffs.
The climb was now becoming much steeper and the draining heat didn't help. More ladders led us up to the final steep section near the top of the mountain. The path was now just rocks rather than dirt and steps, and the jungle was leaving us open to the scorching sun as we neared the rocky summit.
The final climb was quite exhausting, but when we finally made it to the top it was all worth it. The view was stunning and all I could see before me was an endless landscape of limestone karst mountains covered in jungle.
At the top of the mountain we were completely open to the scorching sun, so we couldn't linger long in the heat and began our descent back down the mountain. This proved to be a lot more difficult than the climb up as the rocky steps are high and steep, and a fall could be very dangerous.
It took quite a while to make our way down to the easier parts of the trail, where steps had been put in to make the descent easier. By the time we reached the bottom I was completely drenched in sweat, and the cold drink that I bought was like a gift from heaven.
Despite the heat, our hike in Cat Ba National Park was really interesting and the view from the top was stunning. Definitely worth the effort, and we had certainly earned ourselves a beer when we got back to Cat Ba Town.

From First Things — How to Change Your Mind:
Before I reveal the four steps I want to reiterate that while the advice could transform your life, it likely will not. As with most life-altering advice, it is simple, easy to implement, and even easier to ignore. Statistically speaking, the odds are great that you'll ignore this advice. But a handful of you will try it so for the one or two people who will find this useful, the four steps that will transform your worldview are:
1. Choose a book of the Bible.
2. Read it in its entirety.
3. Repeat step #2 twenty times.
4. Repeat this process for all books of the Bible.
Christians often talk about having a Biblical worldview yet most have only a rudimentary knowledge of the Bible. They attempt to build a framework without first gathering the lumber and cement needed to create a solid foundation. The benefits of following this process should therefore be obvious. By fully immersing yourself into the text you'll come to truly know the text. You'll deepen your understanding of each book and knowledge of the the Bible as a whole.
The entire article is worth reading.
For August 2011, my book will be 1 Peter.

With sanctions lifted under the nuclear deal, billions will now flow into Tehran's coffers, part of which will fund a great deal more weaponry, conflict, bloodshed, and death throughout this area
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted on Saturday that "it's now time for all — especially Muslim nations — to join hands and rid the world of violent extremism. Iran is ready."
That assertion coincided with the latest report that another resident of Madaya, the Syrian city besieged by the forces of (Iranian ally) President Bashar Assad, had died of starvation. It also came amid the ongoing daily news of the killing of civilians in Syria by Assad's forces, backed by fighters from Iran's Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian-armed Hezbollah. About 250,000 people have been killed in the Syrian civil war, the vast majority of them by Assad's Iran-assisted forces.
The Islamic State's contribution to the relentlessly rising Syrian death toll cannot be ignored. Just this weekend, its forces reportedly perpetrated another massacre of Assad forces and their families in the Deir el-Zour area.
But if anyone in the Obama administration or the European leadership believes that the Syrian fighting is a case of "good guys" (Assad, Iran, Hezbollah) against "bad guys" (Islamic State), they need to check the facts.
The removal of sanctions from Iran is not a festive day for the Middle East. It is, rather, a grim day for the region, which will see billions flowing into the Iranian regime's coffers, part of which will lead to a great deal more weaponry, conflict, bloodshed, and death throughout this area.
To Iran's great benefit, the Islamic State is devoting a huge amount of money and resources in order to ensure that it is perceived as a force of absolute evil. One consequence is to create the impression that the Iranian regime, by comparison, is relatively pragmatic, an entity with which one can negotiate. But then comes the news from Madaya — as well as many, many places beyond — to remind us about the true face of the Iranian regime. A glance at the numerous areas of conflict in our region underlines Iran's ubiquitous involvement in the bloodshed — everywhere from Yemen, to Iraq, to Syria, Lebanon, and even the Gaza Strip.
This should have long since set alarm bells ringing in the White House. But the likes of Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes are locked into the delusion that Iran will save the world from Sunni Islamic extremists. It would be amusing if it wasn't so tragic.
Apart from Iran's citizens, of course, those who are about to benefit from the lifting of sanctions on Iran include: Hezbollah, which already has some 150,000 rockets and missiles of various ranges and accuracy, and which is now set to receive much-increased financial assistance from Iran; the popular militias in Iraq; the Houthis in Yemen; and Hamas in Gaza (as well as Islamic Jihad there, should Iran feel so inclined).
For relatively moderate Sunni states, this a grim day, indeed — a day on which Iran is welcomed back to the international community and is simultaneously assisted in deepening its capacity to back terrorist and destabilizing forces in those Sunni states and beyond.
True, the Arak heavy-water plant is unlikely to produce a plutonium bomb in the near future. But the nuclear deal and the removal of sanctions will only exacerbate Shiite terrorism, and it won't do anything for the starving people of Madaya.

Time for your recently regular look at the week's film releases. At least one big release this week, one that we almost didn't get to see at all.
Alice in Wonderland
Tim Burton brings us this 3D adventure in which Alice returns to the "Underland" to find it taken over by the Red Queen. With appearances from all the usual characters Alice must slay the Jabberwock and end the Red Queen's rule. Sure to be an interesting experience and will make a star out of Mia Wasikowska who shone in TV's In Treatment. My pick of the week simply because everyone else you know is going to see it, and you don't want to feel left out. Expect wierdness.
Amanda Seyfried continues her transition to the big screen in this sexual thriller about a wife (Julianne Moore) who tests the fidelity of her husband (Liam Neeson) with the help of a young escort. Expect drama, sex and betrayal.
It's the end of the world! God sends down angels to bring about the apocalypse while a pregnant waitress is believed to be carrying the new messiah. I'm not sure why God would send a messiah and try to end the world at the same time but I guess that's what you have to watch the film to find out. Expect a few epic fight scenes between supernatural things.
Case 39
Renee Zellweger is a social care worker who takes on the case of a ten year old girl which brings on all sorts of horrific events. Expect to see Bradley Cooper horrifically murdered and Zellweger's face to look odd.
Exit Through The Gift Shop
It's a documentary about and partially filmed by Banksy, revered graffiti artist. It might be good, IMDb seems to think it is. Expect it not to be out in a cinema near you.
Ondine is a film I heard about for the first time about five minutes ago. It is a modern fairytale starring Colin Farrell as an Irish fisherman who finds a mermaid in his fishing net. Expect authentic accents for a change.
The Father of My Children
As this is a French drama about a film producer struggling with suicidal despair this is only on limited release. I included it here just to use the picture at the top of this post where the lead appears to be a cross between Johnny Depp and Sean Penn. Expect subtitles.

2007 Chevrolet Impala - Consumer Review

Me likey the Impala SS
By impalasswally on
Vehicle2007 Chevrolet Impala SS 4dr Sedan (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
ReviewI like my Impala SS! Not incredibly sexy from certain angles, and the interior style is hideous, but for the $$, an incredible buy. V-8 power, better gas milage than my wifes V-6 Traverse (thanks to 4-cyl shut-off ... which you never notice). 0 to 60 sub 5.7 sec ... the new $40K Impala with the same HP is going to be Plus 7 sec. It stickered for $31K loaded, got it for 25K between 3K off from dealer, and 3K from GM card earnings. I am out of warranty almost a year now - almost 6 years old. I will admit, mostly local driving (I live close to work) and only 31K miles, but bullet proof. Starts every day, just changed oil. Both front hubs have been changed recently - only repair in 6 years.
Best FeaturesPower, Power and Power! I am not a fast driver, but when you want to pass that annoying SOB who cuts you off, outside of truly fast sports cars, untouchable. Bose strero is also very good. Leather seats are good to ... not Lexus like, but fit the purpose. Chrome 18" rims are much needed style to an otherwise dull exterior. Fold down rear seats are a great cargo feature.
Worst FeaturesWood trim is hideous, although I opted for it over the fake metal trim, so much so that I opted not to get the color I wanted (Laser Blue Metallic), just to get the wood, in Red Metallic. Could use the wood trim on the Toyota Avalon ... as a matter of fact, it could use the whole intereior of the Avalon, or for the time, the Hyundai Azera. Both had superior interiors, but I opted for the uniqueness of the SS, with its V-8. The huge trunk could have been sacrificed for a little more rear seat room. Power sunroof, although I love, should not slide open outside the car, but in the roof.
