Derring-do with a conscience
Peter C. Newman
When he landed on Feb. 22 at Vancouver International Airport, 47 hours, 43 minutes and 26 seconds after he had left the same point to fly around the world, Edgar Kaiser had jetted 23,414 miles and set nine new speed records for the size of aircraft (a British-built Aerospace 800) that he and his two copilots had been flying. As a result, he became the first owner-operator to set a round-the-world record since Howard Hughes did it in July, 1938.
One purpose of the journey was to collect funds for Kaiser's favorite philanthropy, the Kaiser Substance Abuse Foundation, which he and his wife, Judy, had set up just over two years ago to help prevent drug abuse by the Pacific province's youngsters. More than $160,000 in pledges have been received for the flight, but immediately after he returned Kaiser was more interested in its psychological implications. "The real issue was less raising money than raising people's consciousness," he told me. "If the kids we're trying to reach with our program can visualize a middle-aged top gun going around the world and all that neat stuff, they know what can be done by staying healthy and not getting on drugs. That's really what made the trip important."
Kaiser thrives on creative philanthropy. He has already put more than $3 million into the foundation to "confront the collective denial" of alcoholism and misuse of drugs by British Columbia's adolescents. The focus is on prevention. "At the rehabilitation stage," Kaiser declared, "helping means rebuilding; it's bricks, mortar and lost time for those in therapy. That's the high-cost way to deal with the problem. If you explain about drugs and alcohol abuse in the context of an established value system, particularly as part of the regular curriculum—that's the efficient way to go."
The foundation's main project at the moment is to help develop and establish a drug education program in British Columbia's primary schools from kindergarten to Grade 7 by the fall of 1989. Said Ross Ramsay, the professional addiction expert hired to run the foundation: "We believe prevention efforts should be focused on people, not on substances. The emphasis must be on people's empowerment and freedom, not on their disabilities and addictions." British Columbia should be fertile territory for the Kaiser mission: a 1982 survey
showed that of the province's youngsters aged 14 and under 58 per cent had smoked, 57 per cent had drunk alcohol, 28 per cent had used cannabis, 21 per cent had inhaled glue, seven per cent had tried cocaine, and two per cent had used heroin. Ramsay added that a 1987 B.C. ministry of health survey bore out the previous data, and emphasized that children are deciding at an earlier age whether to try those substances.
The former chairman of the Bank of
British Columbia, Kaiser is a rare bird, even among the high-flying acquisitors who roost on Canada's Pacific coast. The son and grandson of moneyed U.S. aristocrats (the Kaisers owned major steel, coal and aluminum interests, building most of the U.S. Second World War Liberty ships), he took out his Canadian citizenship in 1980 and has since turned over at least two fortunes in various resource ventures. Edgar rarely involves himself in projects that do not link his affinity for physical adventure with his
propensity for risk. He is one of those rare derring-do entrepreneurs who believe that a man reduces himself by backing away from any challenge—even if it is self-imposed. "I realize that my round-the-world trip wouldn't have much appeal to someone like the chief executive officer of General Electric," he told me just after he landed, "but it does appeal to the kids I am trying to reach as an adventure they can identify with."
Kaiser works hard and plays hard. The round-the-world air race was only the latest of his exploits. He is a championship skier, sailor and guitarist, and he recently piloted his own yacht, the Calliope, up the Amazon. (The vessel's communications equipment is so sophisticated that it has its own area code.)
On the business side of his ledger, Kaiser has been investing in such leading-edge enterprises as fish farms and the marketing of glacier ice—to make drinks more exotic. The company in which he owns a key interest, Aquarius Sea Farms, will hit the market with 650 tons of cultivated salmon, shipped live and destined for luxury restaurants in Canada and the United States. With 11 farms, it is already the largest integrated fish producer in the country, but Kaiser's imagination does not stop there. He says he is convinced that careful development of the industry could turn the Pacific province into the world's best pleasure-fishing destination. "I can visualize the international chains putting huge hotels into Campbell River, for example," he said, referring to a mid-size fishing mecca on Vancouver Island's east coast, "with a full-scale jet strip to accommodate Americans and Japanese coming by the ton-loads to enjoy the sport."
Kaiser's core staff of 20, led by an adroit finance expert named John Thomas, has agreed to purchase up to 12 per cent of Ice Age Inc., a company pledged to exporting "the Perrier of glacial ice" from northern British Columbia as well as one million shares of Allure Industries Corp., which recycles hazardous wastes. The latest recruit is Terence Heenan, the former president of British Columbia Telephone Co., who has been hired to organize Kaiser's new merchant banking venture.
Edgar Kaiser is one of a kind, and his next venture—he is rumored to be organizing a Formula One racing team for an Asian car manufacturer—will stretch his capacities and his nerves even further. Right in line with his personal (and his foundation's) credo: "I am—I can."

PHP Warnings when 'name' of relationship types are duplicated
This is a tenuous edge-case, but:
Steps to recreate:
- Administer relationship types: https://dmaster.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/reltype?reset=1
- Add a new relationship type
- Enter 'Foo of' for both a-b and b-a labels, save
- Edit the relationship, change the label for a-b to 'Foo not of'
- Save
- View a contact record, flush caches:
Warning: array_combine(): Both parameters should have an equal number of elements in CRM_Contact_BAO_Relationship::buildRelationshipTypeOptions() (line 2239 of .../civicrm/CRM/Contact/BAO/Relationship.php).
This is because the removeRelationshipTypeDuplicates method is removing the duplicate 'names' but not the duplicate 'labels', which creates an imbalance for the array_combine()
I'm pretty confused about why these methods are going to so much trouble to build and dedupe and list of relationship types anyway?
But the issue is, this means that CRM_Contact_BAO_Relationship::buildRelationshipTypeOptions() actually returns FALSE, when we're not on a form, because it couldn't combine the array. I haven't seen where this is causing a breakage yet, but it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Research on horticultural therapy approaches suggest that its positive impact on clients may extend beyond direct rehabilitation or vocational gains to more generally improved well-being. Persons in rehabilitation programs may relate to gardening as a previously enjoyed past time, or as a new activity for either leisure or employment purposes. While gardening is a popular leisure activity in many countries, few studies have looked at what specific gardening activities community-based populations pursue. As part of a larger mail-out survey looking at gardening interests of mid-aged women, a sub-sample of physically disabled women was compared to healthy age-matched women on gardening activities and interests. Physical and psychological functioning and well-being were also sampled. Both groups completed the SF-36 Health Survey for Australia/New Zealand, the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, and a gardening questionnaire tapping gardening activities and hours per month on these activities, as well as the reasons for pursuing gardening. Group differences emerged on physical and psychological functioning variables, but for virtually all gardening variables, group differences were minimal. Overall findings suggest that for this sample of mid-aged women, the presence of physical disability or limitation did not adversely affect their access to and enjoyment of gardening activities.
Objectives: To evaluate the sensitivity of the CAMCOG naming subscale to anomia in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients identified as anomic on the Boston Naming Test (BNT); and to compare the sensitivities of BNT, category (semantic) fluency (CF), and episodic memory (Delayed Word Recall, DWR) in detecting AD.
Method: Data from 140 probable AD patients (NINCDS/ADRDA) were analysed. Anomic AD patients were identified (BNT) and the sensitivity to anomia of the CAMCOG naming subscale was calculated. Sensitivity (to AD) and specificity of the BNT, CF and DWR were compared in a subgroup of 60 patients age-matched to controls.
Results: On BNT 81% of ADs were classified as anomic (87% specificity). Of these anomic ADs, 23 scored 6/6 on CAMCOG naming (sensitivity = 80%), and sensitivity fell to 30% using a 5/6 cut-off. Correlation between BNT and CAMCOG naming yielded Kendall's tau = 0.48 (p<0.0001). Compared to age-matched controls BNT correctly classified 70% of ADs and 87% of controls (overall accuracy = 77%). On CF 68% of ADs and 83% of controls were correctly classified (overall accuracy = 72%). BNT and CF were moderately correlated (r = 0.49, p<0.0001). DWR correctly classified 93% ADs and 98% controls (overall accuracy = 95%).
Conclusions: Given its brevity, we recommend the inclusion of a split-half form of the BNT in screening test batteries for the detection of AD. The observed pattern of cognitive impairment is consistent with current models in which semantic memory deficits occur in AD only when the neuropathology extends beyond the entorhinal/hippocampal region to the temporal neocortex.

Thing Number One: Consider a bit about what you are doing. This isn't large school where the guy hits on the dorky dude with hookers Rabbit Lake for a couple of days, then gets bored and goes off. Not that it had been nice in high school but haven't you developed a little more of a conscience since then? It's simply not polite.
When I had been raised in church, we didn't speak about sex. We talked about a guy and a girl, and we spoke about a connection that was really modest, but the president never talked about the attractiveness of sexual intercourse. We didn't speak about those items. We did not talk. Those were the dust bunnies we swept under the rug.
Control irritable There'll come a stage when you will begin to feel irritable dominated by extraverts. The backpage escorts blocked Rabbit Lake SK of people in 1place and the loud sounds may become trying for introverts.
Ifyou're looking for a forever companion, or someone with whom to spend some spare time, make it apparent in the 1920s prostitutes. Don't leave mates in question regarding your motives or goals- - it will only lead to frustration for you. Say so, if you want someone interested just in one- night stands. Ifyou're simply looking for a dinner companion for Saturday nights, say that. If there's something that you don't want and wouldn't endure- - smokers, beards, eye- rollers, whatever- - state so. Would you want- - a traditional partner, or a out- of- the box thinker? There's a person out there for all us, but there's no point if you both have different objectives, going through with the whole scenario of meeting someone. You will end up disappointed in the outcomes.
Playing with a lot of women also makes you lose your focus. You can't simply send them backpage escorts new Rabbit Lake Saskatchewan group message that is generic because each needs to be met and has their personalities. What is worse is that if they all discover whatyou're doing, you will be rejected by them.
It's amazing what a teeth whitening will do to better appearance. Dress the part of confidence. What clothes have you ever gotten the most compliments in?

I remember. She was attractive enough, but the pictures, were posed headshots. I asked her to place a complete body shot, and she responded I was one of those guys who cares about a woman's body. Yeeaah! I informed her that, this is online dating, also I would not have to inquire, if I had just met her in a more traditional way.
Did that statement lower the amount? I'm sure it did. However, the probability of dates increased with the dating apps skout Rabbit Lake SK, since they knew.

But I understand it had an Rabbit Lake escorts backpage that will rob you on who I met in a positive way. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing.
Is up to you, but it is important to celebrate those moments along the way. Keep in mind that a reward doesn't have to break the bank. You like a night out with your significant other can check out a movie, or just do something that you love that doesn't cost a lot of cash.

Nearly all people neglect to do this which is a true shame. Be proud of your achievement instead although don't be embarrassed. You should provide the credit to them, if something works then! Meeting and Getting on with their Friends and Family Dating apps the atlantic is a time at the start of every relationship, where you've got to do something which often seems scary. You've been seeing each other and all is going well. Suddenly, out of the blue you are hit by it. You knew it was coming but were not prepared for this to happen soon.
Unfortunately, research suggests that the majority of us are battle averse, taking steps to avoid battle even when we long for a specific outcome or biting our tongue. When we do engage, we might give in too quickly or compromise, neglecting devise solutions that are useful or to meet our needs.
Leading a guy will take you from your comfort zone but sometimes that is what you might have to do to make your dreams of being Mr. Right come true. This really is a rarity even though you see men in the movies coming on in real life.
Your capacity is a quality to others and your partner around you. Whenyou're delighted with who you are, you can offer your many confident, and best, most focused self to your backpage escorts exposed Rabbit Lake- - and your spouse feels liberated to become authentic and confident with you.
Although I will bet she could have taken it. But I'd tell her about Oliver.

What e- mails to send her to get her attention In the light of e- mails, you must realize that there are 3objectives that the first would be to make her open your message( throughout the topic line) , the second is to make her like you( through the body) , and the third is to make her reply to you( during the final) .

As an backpage escorts Warner AB, when you are merely seeking to meet with singles and interact with them the strategy you'd employ would be different from the strategy you would employ when wanting to meetthe'one'.

There are women who like to take drugs that are synthetic fashion medications in addition to marijuana. My guidance is: Stay away from any kind of drugs in nations. It is not a trivial offense.

She's being told: " You should not sleep with a man that you Rabbit Lake SK a connection with for three weeks since you need him to fall in love with your soul. " ( Honestly, we're not making this up) Should you truly want her you should: Take cold showers. In this day it's not sensible, so if she's waiting that it is either because she wants to marry you or she's something down there. The fourth or third date is perfectly acceptable for a woman to sleep with you. If she wants one to fall that it's because she is fat or has other issues and therefore is crazy and not relationship material.
Regardless of the good sense this might make biologically, the important thing is that it is every bit as" doable" and successful as polygamy. Neither is more" organic" than the other. These forms of individual coupling are only choices human beings make awarded surroundings and the current culture. In many cases, particularly where very old men are matched with young women( evolutionarily this is not advantageous for the species as as the incidence of backpage bitcoin escorts Rabbit Lake SK defects increases as Rabbit Lake SK armenian dating apps age) seems to be mostly predicated on what people can get away with.

Everyones at it polishing previous gen games before releasing them on the latest generation of consoles. But has Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition been buffed up enough to warrant buying on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One (and PC)?
Released in 2012 after a somewhat torturous development cycle, everyone was expecting Sleeping Dogs to be a car crash. It turned out to be the exact opposite cynics found themselves gripped as they hurtled through the streets of Hong Kong on four or two wheels before screeching to a halt to beat up bad guys in this open world brawler. With a generous raft of DLC pushed out post-release too, Sleeping Dogs managed to carve out its own identity in a world dominated by Grand Theft Auto wannabes.
Enter the definitive edition, which features all the DLC and a host of other additions. The action is now presented in 1080p, plus the game engine offers increased draw distances and a smattering of cool effects including some ah-so atmospheric fog but to focus purely on the aesthetics would be a mistake.
What has always made Sleeping Dogs stand out is its unique setting, character-driven plot and focus on melee combat. The games story of an undercover cop taking on the Triads in Hong Kong still feels fresh compared to the satire-obsessed competition, and its setting makes for a welcome change to the usual US-centric locales found in other open world titles.
Sleeping Dogs focus on bone-snapping melee remains intoxicatingly addictive too, and when combined with the arcadey driving that allows you to ram enemy vehicles off the road, you have an open world game that still stands out from the crowd.
But that key question remains is this edition worth the price of entry? If youre already a veteran of the game, perhaps not unless you missed out on that extensive slew of DLC. But for those who passed on this open world epic first time round, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is an essential purchase.

I've been all about my Japlanning recently! And I thought I would share some of the useful websites that I've found.
If you are a veggie/vegan then you probably already know about this website but it's usefulness can't be stressed enough (I mean if you don't eat meat obvs). Founded in 1999, it's run by a bunch of vegans and vegetarians to help travelers find 'safe' food. There are listings of restaurants, cafes, and shops all over the world (although presumably mostly in major towns and cities). Happy Cow gives you an overview, the location, and opening hours, and allows users to upload photos and reviews. Like a vegan Tripadvisor…
Since I brought it up…There is Tripadvisor, the massive review site. It would be surprising if you hadn't heard of or used this website already. It's not new and is becoming increasingly annoying. The reviews are either entirely fake (people paid to leave reviews using multiple fake accounts) or heavily influenced by the mad expectations of the individual leaving the review. I remember reading a poor review of an otherwise 5 star hotel because breakfast started at 7am. However, it would be lying if I said I hadn't used it extensively when planning this trip.
Do you pin? I love Pinterest. It's not for everyone, I get that. However, you may think it's just gym selfies or something but there's actually a lot going on. Companies and smaller bloggers are using Pinterest more for promotion, as well as people organically sharing stuff they find. Anyway, you can type in Tokyo or Paris, or Hull or whatever and be guaranteed to find beautifully presented suggestions of things to do.
HyperDia gives you the route and timetables of public transport in Japan. Thrilling indeed, but genuinely useful. It can easily be searched in English, and apparently there's an App that's quite useful for when you're in Japan.
I've done a lot of searching on Google maps to find things to do. If you have a Google account you can log in and save things to your maps, and then see that on your phone (like the young people do). It also makes it easy to see where you attractions are and plan your days accordingly. You can then search hotels and restaurants near to your attractions.


text: Seven surgeons told Lleyton Hewitt his tennis career was finished if he had an operation on his troublesome toe but the gritty Australian is merrily defying them by battling on and making himself a force to be reckoned with once again. Hewitt underwent a radical operation in February 2012 when he had bone cut from the big toe of his left foot and two screws and a metal plate permanently locked in. It was a last ditch attempt to prolong his career but, at the age of 32, the former world number one is eyeing a solid run at Wimbledon, where he lifted the crown in 2002. Hewitt stormed into the second round of Wimbledon in impressive fashion, knocking out Swiss 11th seed Stanislas Wawrinka, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3, on Monday. The world number 70 said he had been told his career would be over if he went under the knife. His big toe was rendered arthritic and misshapen after years of digging into hard courts to launch his service action. "There were two surgeons, the guy who ended up doing it and one other guy. There were probably five, six, seven that I spoke to worldwide. They said if I had it done, you're done," he said. "In all my research beforehand —which was very extensive — I never found another athlete that had it done, or had it done and tried to come back and play any kind of sport. So that's something I'm pretty proud of as well." The surgery meant his ranking had slumped to 233 but he is now at his highest ranking since May 2011.

we're going to be live from new hampshire tomorrow. i'm hoping to get at least one candidate to speak with me. talk to me jon huntsman. singing endorsement. mitt romney passed over by the biggest newspaper in the state where he was governor again. rescued at sea. four people are forced ed td t ship when their cruiser catches fire. and mt. etna roars back to life for the first time this year. those stories and much more straight ahead. this is "first look" on msnbc.
2:01 am
we begin this morning with a big endorsement. the boston globe's endorsement of jon huntsman is not only a boost for the former utah november but also a snub for mitt romney. tracie potts joins us now from washington with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. all of the candidates realize that south carolina is going to be a big prize for conservatives, but new hampshire comes first. and the front-runner there is taking heat from opponents for courting both. mitt romney starts the day again in south carolina after picking up endorsement there's from the state's governor and senator john mccain, and slamming president obama for making appointments without senate confirmation. >> instead of free enterprise, choosing the winners and losers, instead the government and the people in power will choose who they want to give special favors
2:02 am

Application of physics and engineering in life science My research activity is concentrated in the development and application of novel optical devices and systems for non-invasive in vivo monitoring of patho-physiological processes in tissues and cell. The experimental techniques involve the combination of laser micro-irradiation technologies, including continuous wave and time domain "Diffuse Optical Tomography" (DOT), Fluorescence Optical Tomography (FOT) and Raman scattering techniques along with biophysical models and construction of "instrumentation and devices" for non-invasive imaging of physiological parameters such as hemoglobin oxygenation, tissue water content, fat content, and relative blood volume. On multimodal cancer imaging front, I have developed non-invasive, in-vivo technologies (combination of near infrared spectroscopy: NIRS and Magnetic Resonance Imaging: MRI) for the investigation of breast & brain (glioblastoma) tumors. The technique involves extraction of concentration of oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin and water within tumor vasculature at 15 discrete wavelengths in a spectral window of 650-980 nm. The information obtained from NIRS, MRI and conventional histopathology (H&E method) reveals a direct correlation between tumor size, intratumoral microvessel density (MVD) and tumor oxygenation. The relative decrease in oxygen saturation value with tumor growth indicates that though blood vessels infiltrate and proliferate the tumor region, a hypoxic trend seems to be clearly present. The research work is quoted as the very first successful pre-clinical measurement of intracrainal brain tumor vascularization ("An optical check-up for brain tumours" at Medical Physics Web: medicalphysicsweb.org/cws/article/research/32616).
My other research interest includes, development of noninvasive all optical technology to monitor physiology of an exercising muscle. Under this initiative I have developed an all optical system based on near infrared spectroscopy and mid infrared imaging as a non-invasive, in-vivo tool to monitor vascular status of skeletal muscle and the physiological changes that occur during exercise. A near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique, namely: Steady State Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy (SSDOS) along with mid infrared imaging (MIRI) is applied for monitoring the changes in the values of tissue oxygenation and thermometry of an exercising muscle. The NIRS measurements are performed at five discrete wavelengths in a spectral window of 650-850 nm and MIRI is performed in a spectral window of 8-12m. The understanding of tissue oxygenation status and the behavior of the physiological parameters derived from thermometry may provide useful insight into muscle physiology, therapeutic response and treatment. Moreover, such multimodal technique may also be applied to study chronic forearm pain, detection of carpal tunnel syndrome, upper extremity musculoskeletal disorder and other compressive neuropathies.

The opening of the Breaking Bad episode "Buyout" was one of the saddest damn things I've ever seen.
What a way to use those goddamn barrels. When we first saw the dissolving trick in S1 it was played as black humor. When the dissolving trick was used again in S4 it was still played as black humor with the chorus response of Walt and Jesse after Mike asked "are you sure this will work?"
But this somber dirge opening with the bike parts being put in those damn barrels wasn't like those other scenes. Part of its power lies in the motif of seeing those barrels. The moment is so powerful that they don't even have to show it; and it is more powerful because they don't. They trusted the motif.

CHICAGO – Got an act? Got a camera phone to record it? Then YippieFest wants you! The fourth annual Theater, Music, Film, Comedy and Performance festival is doing what all the hep cats are doing, going online and virtual to keep everyone safe (details closer to the actual dates of YippieFest, August 14-16, 2020).
Excellent Ensemble, Quality Writing Click on TNT's 'Trust Me'
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – We have good news for fans of "Will & Grace" and "Ed". The stars of those two shows have been lucky enough to have lightning strike their careers again with TNT's "Trust Me".
Gimmicks and concepts may get an audience to tune in for a premiere episode, but television is still primarily a medium that lives and dies on the quality of its writing. Even the best ensembles will find themselves looking for other work if the writing doesn't click. And it's often difficult for TV stars who find success once to land another project with the same caliber of writing (ask Jason Alexander, Brad Garrett, or the cast of Fox's "Back to You".)

Referred to by its own leads as "Madder Men," "Trust Me" is a modern take on the world of advertising, more concerned with the inter-office politics of the modern industry than AMC's incredibly dense and riveting program. "Trust Me" focuses on Mason ("Eric McCormack of "Will & Grace" fame) and his creative partner Conner ("Tom Cavanagh from "Ed"). The two work at the ad firm Rothman, Greene, & Mohr and have formed a successful team over the years with Mason being the more intellectual of the two and Conner the emotional partner who can sweet-talk a client and close a sale.

Mason, the art director, is a responsible family man with a beautiful wife named Erin (Sarah Clarke), while Conner is the impulsive, emotional, single guy. In the first episode, after the death of the creative director for the firm, Mason gets the job over Conner, creating a rift between the two. The second episode focuses on trying to satisfy a testy client.
Meanwhile, a new hire, the award-winning Sarah Krajicek-Hunter (Monica Potter) joins the team and shakes things up in her own way. It's interesting to see creative people respond to new blood as a double-edged sword. Sarah will clearly make the company better but also take some spotlight away from Mason and Conner. That kind of conflicted dynamic happens in creative industries every day.
Rounding out the team at Rothman, Green & Mohr is the junior creative team (meaning comic relief) of Hector (Geoffrey Arend) and Tom (Mike Damus) and their often-tough supervisor Tony Mink (Griffin Dunne).
Two things stand out in the first two episodes of "Trust Me" and should allow most viewers to answer affirmatively to the ultimate question for a new series - will you keep watching?
First, McCormack and Cavanagh are surprisingly good. They've been underrated on television before but their chemistry here is believable and witty. Most shockingly, I had let go of "Ed" and "Will" within minutes. It can often be tough for actors to shake their previous characters but McCormack and Cavanagh do so without going too far from the kind of material that they are best at delivering. As for Potter, it looks like she'll be allowed to develop an interesting character (and show a sense of humor she hasn't often been able to do) and every series could do a lot worse than having talented actors like Dunne and Clarke in small roles.

Second, the team behind "Trust Me" understands that for a show like this to work it needs to be clever, witty, and quickly paced. Created by Hunt Baldwin and John Coveny, two of the co-executive producers behind the underrated writing on "The Closer," the first two scripts for "Trust Me" are two of the best of the massive slate of mid-season programs.
"Trust Me" is proof that knowledge of the subject matter can never be underestimated. Baldwin worked at J. Walter Thompson in Chicago on major campaigns in the '90s and John Coveny was at Leo Burnett at nearly the same time. They both jumped from advertising to TV writing but the old axiom of "write what you know" has clearly served them well.
The first two episodes display both a knowledge about how the world of advertising works and an understanding that "Trust Me" will only succeed if we believe that these are the type of intelligent, quick-witted people who could become superstars in their industry. It is easy to do so because of the caliber of the writing.
TNT has found hit after hit with shows like "The Closer," "Saving Grace," and "Leverage," but "Trust Me" has the potential to break out to an even wider audience. It doesn't have the gravity of a show like "Mad Men," so I don't expect critics or award-giving groups to jump all over it, but it is something that not a lot of television is in this lackluster 2008-2009 season - consistently entertaining.
