Wellness lessons from "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead"
February 6, 2012A few weeks ago my wife and I watched a really inspiring documentary with a depressing title: "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead." The documentary tells the story of Joe Cross, a man from Australia who was overweight, in his forties, unhealthy, and on steroidal medication to treat an auto-immune disease related to his diet and weight. Joe was a fun-loving guy who loved to eat, and it showed – unfortunately he had gotten to a point in life where he was in constant discomfort and facing the prospect of long-term damage to his health (and long-term reduction in his life expectancy).

Consumer Reviews of RUUD heat pumps

"Excellent Ruud Heat pump"
We had our 3 ton Ruud heat pump installed in 1985 and it has been a great unit. It works hard, as our 1883 wood frame home is anything but airtight, and we live in Florida, but we haven't had to do anything in all of these years other than replace a capacitor. The case is getting rusty (due no doubt to soakings in salt water during hurricanes), so I think we'll be replacing it soon. I suppose I should be smart and replace it with another Ruud.

"Ruud rips off disabled veteran on a fixed income."
I'm posting this for my father-in law who is a great guy, but not computer savvy. His 20 year old heat pump went out last year, and even though he is on a fixed income, he went into debt to get a new system. It runs constantly, and despite being 73* outside and overcast this weekend, it never got cool enough for the thermostat to kick off at 71*. It freezes up weekly. (Before anyone suggests it, the filter is new, the coils are clean and there are no blockages in the air ducts) Worst of all their electric bill has gone up $200 a month since the same time last year. The installer has been out nearly 20 times. They have swapped out the thermostat, and have alternately topped off the freon (or whatever the proper name for it is these days) and vented some freon to lower the pressure. Other than that, they claim that there is nothing wrong with the system. I am a service tech myself, albeit in a different industry. When a factory authorized rep can stand there looking at a unit that is frozen solid for the third time in as many days, and claim that it's all in the home owner's head, something is very wrong. The worst of it is, they will be paying for this piece of trash for 2 or three more years. Ruud, what happened to you? You used to make good products with good warranties. Stay away from Ruud at all costs, especially if you happen to live in eastern Kentucky.

"Light commercial RQPL 3 ton unit."
This unit replaced a 30 year old Rheem (the only reason I considered it). In less than one year I have had a line worn into by the indoor coil (manufacturing defect) warrantee not honored, a major leak develop at a factory charge line again warrantee not honored, and now I am icing up due to a faulty defrost board which the warrantee will also probably not be honored on. So, I am out $800 for service calls and have an ice maker that I paid over $2000 for less than a year ago, and no heat.

"Can't Complain"
The heat pump which came with my new townhouse was a Rudd. It served me well for 22 years! A few years ago it developed a little freon leak so, with freon getting more expensive and concern for energy savings, I replaced it today. I got a Trane and like it a lot but I'll be real surprised if it lasts as long as my Rudd did. Seems like everything you buy now is built to break.

I had a 13-seer Ruud heat pump system. It was the best system I have had. Over a 14 year period I had it peaked with refrigerant twice. That's it! This year (2008), to the month, the reversing valve went out & I decided to replace the entire unit due to the 14 year age & $1000.00 cost to replace the valve. I replaced it with an Amana 18 seer heat pump system. What a piece of junk!!!!! Previously had a carrier heat pump from 1977 to 1984...it was ok, took a lot of abuse. The dog kept pissing on it and the unit finally died. So did the dog, prematurely.

An old Ruud 9 SEER was added onto an existing electric furnace and has only recently developed leaks in the outdoor coils. Prior to this the only thing that needed to be replaced was the fan on the compressor (original lasted about 12 years). It's now time to replace it and I'm having a difficult determining what to buy with all the negative reviews....

Both sides committed multiple errors in attack as both defences excelled, Saracens struggling to execute at the lineout in one of the most physical encounters witnessed so far this season.
Owen Farrell missed four shots at goal on a bad night for the England fly-half to deprive Saracens of a famous victory, with Munster's win leaving Pool 1 of the Heineken Cup wide open after Racing Métro's victory over Edinburgh.
The physicality of James Coughlan alongside Peter O'Mahony proved to be the difference but Saracens came away from Thomond Park with an important losing bonus point ahead of next weekend's return fixture.
Munster started in ferocious fashion, scrum-half Conor Murray bursting through the Saracens defence but his pass to David Kilcoyne went forward under pressure in front of the posts.
Ronan O'Gara then added the first points of the afternoon in the fourth minute to give Munster an early lead, before Owen Farrell failed to convert his first opportunity of the match, a poor strike seeing the ball come off the pad of the post.
Munster conceded six penalties within the opening 20 minutes as they persistently infringed at the breakdown whilst on the attack to deprive them of valuable scoring opportunities.
A brawl moments later saw both Rhys Gill and Donnacha O'Callaghan sent to the sin-bin as the tension between the two sides boiled over.
A penalty this time against Saracens at the breakdown presented O'Gara with a second opportunity to kick at goal, which he duly took to stretch the lead to 6-0 coming up to 30 minutes gone, both sides returning to 15 men as Gill and O'Callaghan returned.
The visitors struggled to maintain their accuracy at the lineout when in Munster territory, but Saracens won a penalty from a scrum deep in Munster's half for Farrell to kick their first points of the match.
O'Gara responded after Munster won a penalty at the lineout, leaving the scoreline at 9-3 just before half-time.
Saracens were handed an early opportunity to put points on the board at the start of the second half with another Farrell penalty, but the England's fly-half's attempt fell short.
Farrell however was given an immediate opportunity to bounce back and did so from a much easier angle to close the gap to 9-6.
The heavens opened as Munster stole a scrum against the head in the Saracens half and won a penalty kick for O'Gara to increase the lead once more.
Confusion in the Saracens defence after a Munster box kick led to the ball being hacked on by O'Callaghan with Munster winning a scrum on the edge of the Saracens 22, winning another penalty from the resulting attack as Steve Borthwick was warned by referee Pascal Gauzere. O'Gara made no mistake with his shot at goal.
A loose pass however from Conor Murray sent Munster back pedalling with Doug Howlett penalised at the resulting ruck, but Farrell was unable to convert the resulting penalty.
Both defences continued to hold firm forcing the opposition into marginal errors in attack, but a driving maul from Saracens within the Munster 22 resulted in an overlap down the right hand side, only for openside flanker Will Fraser to be bundled into touch inches from the line.
Owen Farrell moving infield to fly-half gave Saracens fresh impetus in attack but Munster continued to force them into errors, with Farrell then missing another penalty kick at goal to leave him with only two attempts from six and keeping Saracens out of losing bonus point range.
A lineout outside the Munster 22 handed Saracens one final chance to get more points on the board and from a penalty at the lineout Farrell was successful with his seventh attempt of the afternoon, leaving the score at 15-9.

Any thoughts? I was invited to test drive bikes but it was raining so will wait for another day.
Thanks again.
I think the other way around, a road bike is specific to road racing, but a cx bike is the more versatile machine, road, trail, commute. You just wouldn't want to do a road race on a cross bike.

What's the difference?
And I was just kidding.
What's the difference?
And I was just kidding.
^^^^^ I know, i just find it amusing when HH uses the term "racialism" instead of racism.
I have this overwhelming fear this is going to be one of those "false dawn" games like against the Spurs. Somehow, Al will hit a couple of big shots in the crunch, the Jazz will win, and the business will continue as usual.
Great minds think alike. I posted the same fear in another thread.
Unfortunately?, I won't be able to see this game since I live in the L.A. area and it will be blacked out. So my TV and pets are safe from injury tonight.
....just kidding, no one needs to call the ASPCA, GreenPeace or PETA.
When one door closes, another doesn't open....instead, I find myself being locked in a room with padded walls and no windows.
I have to say, though, I'm thoroughly enjoying the Clippers' run. Anything that drives Lakers' fans nuts I'm all for. If the Jazz can't win it all (and they can't), I'd love to see the Clippers go all the way!
When one door closes, another doesn't open....instead, I find myself being locked in a room with padded walls and no windows.
The Jazz went to the line 40 times the other night OP. Stop being a whiny little bitch.
Unfortunately, the Jazz win tonight.
Mister Cranky Pants ^^^^^^
Chillax a little man, I can have fun with it if I want to.
Bad News.....
Jody Genessy @DJJazzyJody 1 minute ago
No Marvin Williams tonight because of right knee inflammation. The other Williams (Mo) did not travel with the team.
May 21- Draft Lottery; June 27- NBA Draft; July 11- FA signing period begins; Oct 11- Preseaon game in Boise
Burks better get at least 20 minutes.
Now we have our best rotation out there. I'd rather have Carrol play over Marvin Meh anyways.
Couldn't be happier with the news. Don't wish anything against Marvin, he just doesn't help us as much as Carrol does.
"Most nights (The Jazz) couldnt stop a grandpa with a walker, particularly if he gave a head fake."
Remember how well we played with Carroll starting at the end of last year. Then, the playoffs came, Hayward got pushed to the 3 and Braille started at the 2.

Hi All!
Just stopped by to have a look at the many wonderful posts here at your forum - am interested in becoming a particpant in your Devotional section. I have been writing words of encouragement and inspiration for the Lord for a while now, and wouldn't normally consider myself a "writer" as such, but someone who likes to share what I believe the Lord has put on my heart. Would it be possible to create a new space I wonder, for items not necessarily of a prophetic nature, but for words that the participant feels strongly about that have come from the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. Just my thoughts.
I have a blog set up with some of these short pieces, and am wondering if it would be OK to share some of these. Of course, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and God bless, and I look very forward to meeting up with you all here when the opportunity arises!
(Not sure I have posted this question in the right place lol so I may post it elsewhere too. )

Can You Dig It?
Bree realizes their only option is to dig up the body before the developers get there. She, Gaby and Lynette head out into the woods armed with shovels. They split up when someone with a flashlight nearly catches sight of them. When the ladies finally meet up at the spot where they buried Alejandro, they realize they probably could have left the shovels at home. It seems that dead body they buried in the woods has already been dug up by someone else. This hasn't been a very happy Halloween.

Page 305. Summer is a busy time of year for me in Toronto. There are a lot of people to see and many social engagements to attend. Last week was the Inside Out LGBT Film Festival, and I saw one film, G.B.F., and two documentaries, The Continental and I am Divine.
On top of that I caught up with old friends, Raquel, Christine, Alex and Alisha. In addition I attended the Rob Ford protest and the Veggie Pride Parade.
Sufficed to say I'm tired. Today is my first day of a month-long coffee detox, and I'm cutting alcohol out for two full weeks to let my internal organs heal!
But that doesn't mean I'm slowing down. I'm still baking, and of course, I have plenty of recipes still to make from Martha Stewart's vegetarian cookbook, meatless.
I've wanted to make the meal depicted on the book cover since I purchased it, but I admit that I had to trade the kale for spinach because that's all I had in my fridge. Evidently I did have golden cherry tomatoes, ricotta cheese and plenty of garlic.
To add a little flavour I included some vegan butter to the recipe. It turned out pretty good if you ask me. The subtle flavours left a pleasant aftertaste on my palate.
Oh and welcome home Matt and Lisa! I hope Amsterdam and Paris were a dream.

We need a nice plague to end everyone
We need a nice plague to end everyone
Not sure if I should answer or notice the fact that you spelt out backside,
so I'll answer the questions.
A. If you could get away with one murder in your lifetime without any legal, social, or emotional repercussions, would you kill someone?
B. What is your first thought when you receive a message on Tumblr, are you excited for the idea of someone from potentially the other side of the world wanting to talk to you or fearful that someone will criticize you?
Since I'm usually getting good messages, I'm excited.
C. Have you ever looked down on someone because you thought your religious views were superior?
Yes. Basically anyone who has told me that I should be religious and God fearing.
D. Would you rather know everything the universe has to offer but in exchange lose all emotions or remain the way you are now?
I'd take what the universe has to offer. Emotions are overrated.
E. If you could live and be healthy without sleeping or eating/drinking, which would you cut out of your life?
Hm. Depending on the conditions, I'd probably go without sleeping because then I'd be able to do whatever. If I got bored, I'd go to sleep.
K. Have you ever watched a full length pornographic movie?
Nope. Just clips on gayforit.eu
S. Would you rather be the only person in the world that can read minds or have everyone else in the world be able to read minds except for your own?
I would read everyone else's minds as long as it was on command. I wouldn't want everyone's fuckery playing through my thoughts without warning.
I become very irrational when hungry

Visit Aperture at photo l.a.
Friday, January 14th, 2011Courtesy Photo l.a., LA.
Aperture Foundation joins the 20th anniversary edition of photo l.a! Visit our booth to see our latest selection of books, limited-edition photographs, and discounted subscriptions. A series of Aperture-hosted programs will also take place, including a panel discussion titled Print, Online, and On-Demand: Words Without Pictures Revisited with Alex Klein, Stacy Allan, and Wendy Yao, as well as a conversation with artist Zoe Crosher and writer Jan Tumlir.
During the panel discussion titled Print, Online, and On-Demand: Words Without Pictures Revisited, Alex Klein, Stacy Allan, and Wendy Yao will discuss new approaches to traditional publishing models, support for critical voices and commentary in the photographic field, and emergent discursive possibilities both in print and online. This event coincides with the announcement of Words Without Pictures, Aperture's first ePublication and part of the Aperture Ideas series, which is devoted to celebrating the finest critical and creative minds exploring key concepts in photography.
Friday, January 14, 12:00 pm
The conversation which will gather The artist Zoe Crosher and writer Jan Tumlir is an expansion on Tumlir's recent article "Femme Fatale: Zoe Crosher's reconsidered archive of Michelle duBois," which appeared in Aperture magazine, issue 198. Together, the two will explore self-invention and role-playing as told through personal photographs, and what comes of the great "archival theme" in the digital era.
Los Angeles-based artist Crosher and Tumlir recently co-taught a class at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, on the impact of geography on local forms of artistic production, and they will revisit this topic in relation to Crosher's past work on the city, as well as her more recent series. The discussion will situate Crosher's work in relation to its historical precedents in the art of Conceptualism, the Pictures Group, and identity politics.

Don't Go with the Flow
by Doug French
hat tip: Mises Daily
Monday, May 24, 2010
Anyone who follows financial markets has to wonder at times, "What are people thinking? How did they come to make those decisions?"
It's hard to imagine that John Muth and Robert Lucas came up with what's known as the "rational-expectations theory," wherein, as explained in Wikipedia,
it is assumed that outcomes that are being forecast do not differ systematically from the market equilibrium results. That is, it assumes that people do not make systematic errors when predicting the future, and deviations from perfect foresight are only random.
Muth and Lucas should watch daily programs on the financial channels like Jim Cramer's Mad Money, which is supposedly to help individual investors, or CNBC's Fast Money, a show clearly geared toward speculators. No viewer can watch these shows and walk away believing, "people do not make systematic errors when predicting the future."
So while financial markets have been a series of speculative bubbles as the Federal Reserve creates money ad infinitum, rational-expectations economists Robert Flood and Robert Hodrick daringly conclude, "The current empirical tests for bubbles do not successfully establish the case that bubbles exist in asset prices."

MapsMarker (free v3.6+ and pro v1.0+) comes with an integrated API (GET+POST) which allows you to manage your markers and layers through external applications.
For more details please visit the MapsMarker API docs.
MapsMarker (free v3.6+ and pro v1.0+) comes with an integrated API (GET+POST) which allows you to manage your markers and layers through external applications.
For more details please visit the MapsMarker API docs.
Pro version 1.0 (which is planned to be released by mid of July) will also allow you to backup and restore your settings:
This will make it possible to quickly switch between different plugin profiles which will make it easier especially for users who want to deploy the plugin with custom configuration on multiple sites.
Backup of marker and layer maps is also on the roadmap for a later pro release (as I also plan to add an import feature which takes more time in developing).
If you want to keep up to date with the latest Maps Marker development, please follow @MapsMarker on twitter, on Facebook, Google+ or subscribe to news via RSS or via RSS/email.
Actually I planned to release v3.6 together with the pro edition of my plugin v1.0 which I am currently working on. Anyway as I am a bit behind schedule for pro version (as I try to keep quality high) and as I could finish some exciting new features and optimizations, I decided to make a quick 3.5.3 release so that the changelog for v3.6 and pro v1.0 doesn´t get too long .
If you want to keep up to date with the latest Maps Marker development, please follow @MapsMarker on twitter, on Facebook, Google+ or subscribe to news via RSS or via RSS/email. A preview of already finished pro features can be found here.
One personal request: as WordPress added a new review feature for plugins hosted on wordpress.org, I kindly invite you to leave your opinion about my plugin at http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/leaflet-maps-marker.
And now let´s get into the highlights of v3.5.3:
drastically reduced PHP memory usage on admin pages
With the help of Yakir Sitbon (www.yakirs.net) I could finally find a solution for a backend issue which has been bothering me for a long while: as the amount of available options on my settings page is quite huge, the PHP memory usage was also very high. Now I finally found a way to load the settings class only when it is needed on backend too (frontend optimization has already been added with v3.5.1).
This results in about 8MB less PHP memory usage on all backend pages (except on my plugin settings page of course )
automatic redirect to maps after saving and editor switch for enhanced usability
Thanks to Pat I also optimized the handling of marker and layer maps in the backend: after saving a map or switching the editor (simple/advanced), you are now getting redirected to the page you were viewing before.
duplicate save buttons on top of edit pages for enhanced usability
Another idea Pat brought up was to add an additional update button on top of marker and layer maps in backend: this reduces the need to scroll down to save if you only want to change the title for example.
On layer maps, the button "add new marker to layer" was also added on top of the page – I hope that this will make the concept of marker/layer maps for new users clearer:
fixed WMS layer "public toilets in Vienna"
The city of Vienna, which is offering lots of their data as opendata at http://data.wien.gv.at changed the ID of their public toilets WMS layer which I use as default in my plugin to demonstrate WMS capabilities. I didn´t overwrite this setting for existing users (as customizations would also be lost then) – so if this WMS layer is not working on your installation, please navigate to Settings / WMS / WMS layer 1 settings and change "Layers" from OEFFWCOGD to WCANLAGEOGD.
Other changes/optimizations
Translations updates
Thanks to many motivated contributors, v3.5.3 comes with the following translation updates:
New translations
Updated translations
If you want to contribute to translations (Persian would be great ), please visit http://translate.mapsmarker.com/projects/lmm for more information.
Outlook – my plans for the next release
I am still working on the pro version which is planned to be released before summer. Please subscribe to this blog (via RSS or Email) or follow @MapsMarker on twitter if you want to stay up to date. See these posts for previews of features already finished.

How to download / update
You can download the latest version here. The easiest way to update is to use the WordPress update process: login with an user who has admin privileges, navigate to Dashboard / Updates, select plugins to update and press the button "Update Plugins". Alternatively you can also download the current version here, unzip the package and overwrite the plugin´s files on your webserver.
So far Leaflet Maps Marker has received 142 ratings & 67 reviews – many thanks! Till now, especially reviews were only visible on my plugin page of WordPress.org.
As your reviews keep me motivated on improving the plugin even further and hopefully getting out the pro version 1.0 soon , I decided to also display the reviews on a separate page on mapsmarker.com.
You also see random rotating reviews right below the download button in the sidebar (look on the right) ——————————————————————————>
I also fixed some bugs on mapsmarker.com (scroll bar was black with Google Chrome for example) and optimized the load time of the frontpage (demo) by replacing some maps with static images.
If you have an suggestions on how to improve the website mapsmarker.com, let me know!
With the pro version you will be able to add a fullscreen button to maps – thanks mapbox for this wonderful leaflet plugin! Clicking on this button will open the map in fullscreen view via HTML5 fullscreen API:
This button will be enabled by default and can be disabled through a new option within Settings / Map defaults / control options:
For a live demo of the new HTML5 fullscreen mode please visit http://pro.mapsmarker.com/?p=11
Update 17.3.2013: using the fullscreen plugin from mapbox instead – should be working on all browsers now.
I just finished the integration of the fabulos minimap plugin by Norkart AS which creates a small map in the corner which shows the same as the main map with a set zoom offset:
There will be several options you can set for the minimap – as always within the plugin´s settings panel:
Next on the 2do-list: clustering (finally )
The pro version will allow you to customize the presentation of the standard Google base maps, changing the visual display of such elements as roads, parks, and built-up areas. Below an example with roads hidden:
Configuring these styles can easily be done by using the Google Maps styled wizard – you can preview the styles you would like to use there and if finished, copy the JSON array into the new option field under Settings / Google / Google Maps styling:
For more live demos on Google styling please visit http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styledmaps/examplestyles.html
Fullscreen maps will be optimized for mobile devices in the pro version – not only by using native javascript instead of jquery but also by considering the viewport of the device used for example. Below a screenshot of a fullscreen map on a Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2:
It will also be possible on iOS devices to save the link to the fullscreen map to the homescreen and reopen the map – with an optional launch image as web app – meaning the display of the map in fullscreen mode with no address bar:
As always, the configurations for this new feature can be made through the settings panel:
Stay tuned for more exciting new features
If you want to keep up to date with the latest Maps Marker development, please follow @MapsMarker on twitter, on Facebook or Google+
jQuery is great and used a lot in my plugin: it helps delivering a great user experience when creating maps on the admin side and was also used on frontend for responsive maps for example.
A disadvantage of using jQuery is that the framework is about 90k unzipped big and needs lots of ressources – especially on mobile devices. This is why for the pro version I rewrote the frontend code to use native javascript instead of jQuery for the needed functions. As a result – and together with the implementation of Leaflet 0.5.1 – maps will be loaded much faster with the pro version – especially on mobile devices.
Please check for yourself to see the improvements here:
QR codes will also get enhanced with the next release: the free version will use the QR provider Visualead.com as new default, which allows using custom backgrounds for QR codes:
The pro version will also allow changing the background image through the settings panel:
If you´d like to stick to the old QR code provided by Google, you will be able do so by selecting Google as QR code provider.
The current plan is to release v1.0 by April – so please be patient – I am sure it will be worth waiting

On August 27, 2004, President Bush signed Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors. Based upon this directive, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) developed Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS Pub) 201, including a description of the minimum requirements for Federal personal identification verification (PIV). HSPD-12 directs the implementation of a new standardized badging process, which is designed to enhance security, reduce identity fraud, and protect personal privacy by establishing a mandatory, government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the Federal Government to its employees, contractors, and other classes of individuals. The Department of Energy (DOE) began implementing the HSPD-12 program on October 27, 2005.
This policy will mean major changes in the issuance of the DOE Standard Badge. Only those individuals who meet the minimum requirements under the PIV process will be issued the DOE Common Badge or the follow-on HSPD-12 Standard Badge. All other individuals will be issued a local site badge that will be valid only for access to the issuing site.
Along with this new process are new requirements:
The PIV process contains critical roles associated with identity proofing, registration, and credential issuance. They are: the Applicant, the Sponsor, the Registrar, and the Issuer. These roles may be ancillary roles assigned to personnel who have other primary duties.
Each PIV role and its corresponding responsibilities are listed below. The following roles shall be employed for the PIV identity proofing, registration, and issuance process:
DOE implemented the PIV process in DOE Notice 206.3, "Personal Identity Verification." Although this new program will require significant changes throughout the Department of Energy and the Federal Government, it will translate to a safer and more secure work environment for us all.

My sister is a fan of Charlie Sheen. Without going into the spasmatic lecture I gave her upon discovering this fact, I'll touch on the subject that we finally progressed to after giving her defense: does an entertainer's personal life affect how we look at their work? My sister is a fan of Charlie Sheen, the actor – not Charlie Sheen, the abominable scumbag. But with his unapologetic hedonistic and abusive past, can I really watch the guy act for my amusement and support him?
I can't stand Two and a Half Men anyway, so that entire concept of sitcom Charlie Sheen is lost on me. What performances I can recall – the junkie from Ferris Bueller, the marine with chicken pox and oven mitts in Friends, and Patrick Swayze's (RIP) little brother from Red Dawn – aren't groundbreaking or memorable. He is more famous for his real-life recklessness than his CV, and is now advertising a failed attempt at a new show by smugly acknowledging his incendiary status.
(Speaking of Sheen's new show, Anger Management, check out Asawin Suebsaeng's biting review at Mother Jones.)
I cannot separate Charlie Sheen's career from his personal life that he gladly parades. I just can't! And this sentiment carries over to my opinions of other entertainers whose images are now tarnished by their own wrongdoings. The credibility of both Chris Brown and Mel Gibson is vapor to me now. I can't enjoy a Chris Brown song, and I'm constantly making a sour face throughout Lethal Weapon.
Roman Polanski is a remarkable director, but I refused to jump on the bandwagon that the artsy elite set off in defense of him drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. His work precedes him, as watching his masterpieces Chinatown and Repulsion can be morally draining.
Respect is at the heart of admiration. If you reek of slime and beat your girlfriend, I cannot respect you enough to support the work you are encouraging me to love. We all search for relatability in our artists, to find a kinship in their nature or to aspire to their level of prestige. If their humanity is hollow, the critics may still side with their artistry and talent, but I can't find heart in their performances.
For a troublesome celebrity, can you separate the actor from the wrongdoer? Which celebrities do you have an aversion to because of their real-life problems?

The southern studies faculty of Mercer University will host an NEH institute for school teachers on Cotton Culture in the U.S. South, 1865-1965.
The institute will allow twenty-five teachers of English, history, economics, government, geography, art, and music to learn about the complex social structures of the U.S. South in the crucial yet frequently misunderstood hundred years between the end of the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, a period that included both major social problems and amazing cultural development. An interdisciplinary panel of experts on the South will use the cultivation of cotton—the South's most significant economic product during this time—as a means to analyze and understand the region's history, geography, economics, politics, culture, and literature. The institute will meet from June 24 to July 27, 2012.
Macon, Georgia, about an hour's drive south of Atlanta, is an ideal location from which to study the history and culture of cotton. Nicknamed "the market city," it was once a center of cotton commerce and textile production. Workshops will meet on the campus of Mercer University in downtown Macon, and participants will also visit a nineteenth-century plantation, a working cotton farm, the Civil Rights historic district of Atlanta, and the cotton seaport in Savannah.
For more information about the institute, contact Sarah Gardner, firstname.lastname@example.com. To apply for the institute, follow the directions on the application page.

If you want to avoid spending too much on a cruise, timing — and a dose of good luck — is everything. Like airfares, cruise fares fluctuate one day to the next based on supply, demand and other factors. The result? People pay different rates for the same trip. Here are some tips (most involving timing) that will help you improve your chances of landing a decent fare.
1. Book Early
Many cruise lines offer so-called early-bird fares. Book six to 12 months in advance, and you can save in the range of 25 percent to 50 percent off the published "brochure" rates. In addition to saving money on the cruise, another advantage to booking this far out is that you can also book your air and hotel early, when rates may be less expensive. Plus, you get first dibs on travel dates, itineraries and cabin selection — a good thing since the cheapest and most expensive cabins sell out first.
2. Wait Until the Last Minute
This might, given the first tip, seem counterintuitive. But, once again, timing (early or late) is key. Cruise fares generally go up as a sailing date draws nearer — unless a particular sailing isn't selling. When it's 60 to 90 days before a sailing, the cruise line begins to panic. That's when you see crazy low fares such as a week in the Caribbean for $499 or less. Discounts can top 50 percent as the cruise line attempts to fill berths. Just be aware that booking later might mean a limited choice of travel dates, itineraries and types of cabin.

Disney's California Adventure Corn Dog Castle
Disney Eats, Reviews, Travel | Tags: California, Corn Dog Castle, Disney California Adventure, disneyland, travel, travel destination, Where to eat at Disneyland
I love having Disney California Adventure right across from Disneyland. We hop over to this fun park each time we visit for some of our favorite rides and food. Today I'll be showing you one of our favorites….The Corn Dog Castle. Calories don't count when you are at Disney right?! Lol!
How magical is Mickey's Fun Wheel? It was a cloudy day when we went, but I love the reflection on the water
Here's the Corn Dog Castle that you will find towards the back end of the park. Keep walking past Grizzly River Run, past Little Mermaid towards the right. Let your nose lead you to the greasy goodness, lol!
Unlike the Corn Dog Truck at Disneyland on Main Street, you have a few more choices to choose from such as the hot link corn dog and the cheddar cheese stick! Oh my!
Here is your counter.
Your corn diggity comes with either a bag of sliced apples or a bag of chips.
Here's the original corn dog that can also be found in Disneyland at the Red Truck on Main Street.
The Hot-Link Corn Dog was my favorite. A little spicy….I will go back for this bad boy!
I did not know what to think of the cheddar cheese stick…..but for the sake of the review I just had to see what it was like. Now, I have to be honest….I am a bit of a cheese snob. I like good cheese, so if you can get over the fact that this is a deep fried piece of Velveeta then you will be fine. It's kind of like a big grilled cheese sandwich on a stick. Not my favorite, but definitely interesting
The jumping jellyfish ride is right across from the Corn Dog Castle along with the Golden Zephyr ride.
So, have you had the Corn Dog Castle at California Adventure? Let's hear about it! Did you love the cheese stick or not so much like me? The Hot-link Corn Dog or Original?
Have a great weekend friends!!

I have been to this place and didn't realize the line was on the side. I just walked up to the counter to order and this guy on the side says, "Um…Excuse me…the lines over here." Felt like an idiot. I was happy that these corndogs were like the ones at Disneyland. Will need to try the hot link one next time.
jenn i love when you do these. i miss going there and as i can see the prices have certainly changed lol!
Fun stuff though.
Don't you love the architecture of the columns entering Disneyland? Love those. -
We were there Nov. 14th and we had the hot-link corn dogs.. Loved them, even my 4 yr old granddaughter….
Jenny I always say the same thing…Disneyland calories don't count. I figure you are on the go the whole time they never have a chance to settle and make home. LOL! I thought of you and Corn Dog Castle when we were there on Tuesday but we ended up eating (for the first time) at the burger place in Tomorrowland near Nemo. If you haven't ate there yet I do not recommend. Should've gone to Hungry Bear but I was trying to venture out!
How fun!! Disneyland definitely means you can indulge all you want Your photos are so stunning, I want to hop a plane to Disneyland ASAP!
My family was in Disneyland yesterday and today, it was packed. From the look of your pictures it does not look busy. When have you found to be the best time to go? Also my husband loved the corn dogs, one of his favorites.
The best time to go is when the kids are in school during the week. We were there 12/10-12/13/11. Saturday and Sunday were packed. No one was there on Monday and Tuesday. We had a blast. Also, went in March of 2010 for 6 days and there was no one there either. Try off times when school is in session if you can swing it. Also, buy ponchos ahead of time and go in the rain. Short lines and you stay pretty dry with ponchos. When it rains there are no lines and we were able to stay on rides and ride over and over again if there was no one in line. We had Pirates of the Carribean to ourselves. The cast members called our boat the "Love Boat" since my hubby and I were wearing buttons Celebrating our 25th anniversary.
My son loves grilled cheese sandwiches. I don't know if he would eat cheese on a stick though.
We just got back from Disneyland! We did try the hot link corn dog and thought it was great. But not as great as the peanut butter sandwich from Pooh Corner! I have been waiting to try it since you posted about it this summer. YUMMY!! Thanks for the tip!
Candy Corn Dog Collar…
[...] got back from Disneyland! We did try the hot link corn dog and thought it was g [...]…
heyyy your meal is amazing.i just want the recipies of all your corn dog meal like cheddar cheese stick and other.can i have it please???? and i want to know you frying your hot dog before every thing or not? tnx a lot

Tanning salon fills last empty unit in revamped Carlisle arcade
Last updated at 12:39, Friday, 21 December 2012
The opening of a tanning salon this week marks the final step in the revival of Carlisle's Lowther Arcade.
Four years ago the Edwardian shopping mall, which runs between English Street and Lowther Street, had only two tenants and was looking decidedly tired.
But a £50,000 makeover instigated by Walton Goodland, the managing agent, has seen a gradual transformation in its fortunes.
One by one the units have filled up, despite the credit crunch followed by a double-dip recession.
Glam Tan, which opened yesterday, occupies the last vacant unit.
It is a family enterprise run by Tracey Hull, of Cummersdale, and her son Jamie, 22, a time-served plumber who has given up the trade because of lack of work.
There are five tanning booths – three sunbeds and two stand-up cubicles with vibrating plates so that customers can exercise while they top up their tan.
Some have a setting suitable for people with the skin-condition psoriasis who can benefit from UVB phototherapy.
Upstairs, Mrs Hull has a shop, trading as Glam, selling handbags, jewellery and fashion accessories.
There is also a treatment room and there are plans to employ a beauty therapist in the New Year.
Mrs Hull, 41, said: "We think there's room for another tanning salon in Carlisle. We wanted to do something as a family and I've always been into the fashion side.
"The unit is ideal. It's central, the size and layout were just what we needed and it's in a nice arcade.
"I think it will bring more people into Lowther Arcade. That can only be good for the businesses already here."
Glam Tan is open 10am to 8pm on Mondays to Fridays and 10am to 7pm on Saturdays.
Lowther Arcade dates from 1904. Four years ago, four of the six units were empty, as was the former Yates's Wine Bar near the English Street entrance.
The only tenants were the Circle Bar and the hairdresser Boo. Walton Goodland's revamp involved repainting and cleaning the roof glazing to make it lighter and more welcoming and installing new fire-safety and electrical systems.
The agent offered potential tenants incentives such as a year rent-free if they took a five-year lease.
What was Yates's is now gay-friendly nightspot Outrageous. The Changing Room, a dress agency and boutique, arrived in 2009.
The Circle Bar extended into the vacant unit next door in summer 2011 and in August last year a new cafe/bar, Bocata, opened in one of the two units fronting Lowther Street.
This April Boo moved into the second unit facing Lowther Street leaving its old premises vacant until Glam Tan moved in. The former Carr's Jewellers facing English Street remains vacant but is not strictly part of Lowther Arcade,
Stephen Sewell, a director of Walton Goodland, said: "This is the first time in eight or nine years that it has been fully let, which we are delighted about.
"Walton Goodland have let a lot of shops recently, not just in Lowther Arcade.
"It is a combination of landlords being realistic about rents and independent local retailers being increasingly willing to take units.
"They take the view that we've been into an economic downturn for four years and they have got to get on with life. If they can get a good deal to get in somewhere, they're doing it."
