Recent news from WorldNetDaily.com
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, took time off his presidential campaign to introduce legislation aimed at curbing the inflow to the United States of refugees from any country controlled in large part by a terrorist group.
That means migrants hoping to cross U.S. borders from Iraq and Syria are on the "no" list, according to a written release from Cruz's Senate office.
The bill, S. 2302, has only a three-year shelf life "so that Congress can reevaluate the global situation and either let [it] expire or reauthorize it with necessary modifications in light of changed circumstances."
The measure, with no co-sponsors, was introduced and read twice on Wednesday to the Committee on the Judiciary. The text is not yet posted on the Library of Congress website, but Cruz sent out a statement explaining its justification.
"After watching the horrific scenes play out in Paris, we have to take basic steps to protect ourselves from the growing threat of radical Islamic terrorism," he said in an email statement to WND. "This legislation will do just that."
Cruz referred to ISIS as the "new face of the radical terror that has bedeviled the West in recent decades," declaring the time is ripe for bold action.

"Unlike some regional jihadists," he went on, "ISIS represents a direct and growing threat to our citizens, and increasingly to our homeland itself. Unfortunately, the Obama administration has clearly lacked focus on national security interests. I believe we must do everything we can to prevent even a very few jihadis from slipping into our nation and urge my colleagues to join me in this effort to protect the American people."
The bill immediately puts a stop to any refugee from a nation that includes substantially large portions of land controlled by a U.S. designated "Foreign Terrorist Organization." Among them are Iraq, Libya, Somali, Syria and Yemen, the statement reads. But the measure also includes some exceptions.
"A refugee from one of the identified high-risk countries can be admitted, but only if the prospective refugee proves 'clearly and beyond doubt' that he or she satisfies the requirements for refugee status and is a member of a group that has been designated as a victim of genocide by the State Department or by [an] act of Congress," the summary from Cruz's office states. "His exception is for the severest cases of persecution, and a refugee who cannot prove membership in the group cannot be admitted."
In "Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance," renowned activist Pamela Geller provides the answer, offering proven, practical guidance on how freedom lovers can stop jihadist initiatives in local communities.
But even that exception comes with a caveat: "A refugee who qualifies for this narrow exception can only be admitted if he or she has undergone the highest available level of security screening, including assessments by the FBI Terrorist Screening Center and the National Counterterrorism Center; the refugee has been subjected to full multi-modal biometrics; and perhaps most importantly, the secretary of State, secretary of Defense, secretary of Homeland Security, director of the FBI, and director of National Intelligence all certify that the refugee is not a national security threat."
And one more provision of the bill: Cruz makes clear the Homeland Security director cannot simply "take the refugee's word" for a clear bill of safety health and open the doors for admission.
Ann Coulter's back, and she's never been better than in "Adios, America!: The Left's Plan to Turn our Country into a Third World Hellhole."
"Instead, the bill requires DHS to coordinate" with several other federal players "to ensure that the refugee's story is corroborated," the statement read.
Cruz's bill comes as President Obama has refused again to associate the Paris terror attack with radical Islam. He's also anticipating congressional or unilateral action to shutter Guantanamo Bay and transfer the remaining detainees to overseas' locations.
ISIS, meanwhile, has released new videos promising to unleash more terror on Europe and in the United States, specifically upon Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Survey - Infant feeding to prevent childhood obesity study
What, when and how parents feed their infants can have an impact on children's risk of being overweight or obese. Currently, different studies looking at programs or interventions to prevent childhood obesity often measure different outcomes. This makes it difficult to compare how effective these interventions or programs are.
The aim of this study is to develop a Core Outcome Set (COS) of infant feeding outcomes for assessing interventions including children up to 1 year old. This will help to improve efforts to prevent childhood obesity. An infant feeding COS is an agreed and standardised set of outcomes that are relevant to health professionals, parents and researchers. Healthcare professionals can provide essential expert information about infant feeding and your contribution to developing this COS is invaluable.
We are asking you to participate in this study by completing the survey in the link below. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. You will be asked to complete this survey 3 times in total. You will be emailed reminders to complete Round 2 at the beginning of December, and Round 3 at the end of January. This helps us achieve agreement on what outcomes are most important.
If you are interested in taking part please go to the COS IF survey here.

"When we review the calamities which afflict so many other nations, the present condition of the United States affords much matter of consolation and satisfaction."
George Washington, Thanksgiving Day Proclamation of 1795
I believe this is as true today as it was in 1795. But what would it mean if we couldn't honestly conclude that this still rings true? It's a scary thought. It might mean that our country and our lives as we know them would be very different, and we might not be blessed with all of the fortunate opportunities and circumstances that provide us with so many things to be thankful for.
I guess I'm trying to say that I have lots of things to be thankful for – yes, material things like a home, car, and an unstoppable fantasy football team, but more importantly, immaterial things like my family, my health, and my freedom – lots of things that I otherwise might not have if Washington's statement were no longer true.
And this Thanksgiving I'm especially thankful for the staying power of Washington's statement because it's a reassuring thought to consider as we work through some uncertain and tough times.
OK, that's more than enough "food for thought." Now let us commence with the "food for belly" part of Thanksgiving!!

add a comment
(…but I'm pretty sure you have)
Having been living in the UK for the past 4 months, I'd have to say that I had somewhat of a delayed reaction when I chanced upon this video. My initial reaction was a non-reaction, really. I had grown used to a living in a city where homosexuality is simply a non-issue. People who defended gays hardly made the news; in fact, it is the homophobes who make headlines by causing outrage for their audacity and lack of tolerance. Imagine that. A society where being anti-gay is as politically incorrect as being anti-muslim.
Anyway, I soon realized the significance of what MM Lee said. His message wasn't new; the "just leave homosexuals alone" message has been made again and again by activists and non activists alike. Neither was I surprised that MM Lee held such a liberal view. As much as I disagree with him on politics, I have always known and respected his pragmatism and rationalism, and there is nothing more practical or rational that just letting gays be gays.
What is significant is that for the first time, someone "up there" – someone who is respected, or even revered; someone with authority; someone whose views are given legitimacy simply because of who he is – gave his truthful opinion about homosexuality instead of the hardline right wing conservative rhetoric that we're so used to from "those in power" (ahem). And perhaps more important is not what he said, but how he said it, as if it is no big deal. There's no point attacking homosexuality or defending it, decrying it or promoting it, glorifying it or censoring it, when at the end of the day it really is no big deal.
I'm hoping for the day when "news" like this isn't news anymore. "Minister XYZ supports equal rights for gays? Yawn. Big deal. So does the majority of the population. " The day that someone publicly announces that he isn't a homophobe and no one even blinks, is the day that we have all taken a step forwards towards equality.

Attractive new 'disguises' for portable toilets23rd of October 2013
A New York-based portable toilet company has come up with a range of standalone cubicles designed to impress the clientele.
Callahead has taken the traditional portable toilet - often an eyesore - and turned it into an attractive facility with comfortable features inside. The toilets are available in a range of colours and themes to suit any environment or event.
For example the Purple Potty, aimed at children's parties and school events, is a child-size toilet decorated with festive balloons and colourful handprints and footprints.
"Kids are often intimidated when using a portable toilet, but the bright colours and smaller size of the Purple Potty take the fear and intimidation away," said a Callahead spokesperson.
Meanwhile La Femme Toilette, said to be completely odour-free, is soft pink and painted with a floral and lace design. Aimed at hen parties and other all-female events, the cubicle features an illuminated full-body mirror inside.
The Tele-Toilette has the outward appearance of a red British phone booth and is solar-powered and carpeted inside, and the AirHead is decorated with flying hot-air balloons to complement beach events.
Other designs include the ToileTree, which gives the illusion of a forest tree; the Garden Head, which resembles a garden on the outside and features a flower basket arrangement inside, and a white and silver toilet aimed at weddings. The portable toilets are also available in various colours such as white, royal blue, red and green.
However, the company does not only provide specialist toilets. It has been supplying construction sites with regular portable toilets for the past 40 years.

Frank Hoover Easterbrook (born September 3, 1948) is a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He was Chief Judge from November 2006 to October 2013, and has been a judge on the court since 1985. Easterbrook is noted for his use of economic analysis of law, his legalist approach to judicial interpretation, for his clear writing style, and for being one of the most prolific judges of his generation. Easterbrook is one of the most cited appellate judges in America.[1]
Early life and education
Easterbrook was born in Buffalo, New York on September 3, 1948, the son of Vimy and George Easterbrook. He is the older brother of author Gregg Easterbrook and of Neil, an English professor at Texas Christian University. Easterbrook attended Kenmore West High School in Tonawanda, New York, where he was the classmate of Wolf Blitzer. The two were good friends and were the leads of the KWHS rendition of The Diary of Anne Frank. Easterbrook's future wife was property mistress of the production. He attended Swarthmore College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and received his bachelor's degree with high honors. He received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Chicago Law School (where he was an editor of the law review with Douglas H. Ginsburg and a member of the Order of the Coif) in 1973, and then clerked for Judge Levin Hicks Campbell on the First Circuit.
Early career
In 1974, along with Danny Boggs, he joined the Solicitor General's office as an Assistant to the Solicitor General, and was promoted in 1978 to Deputy Solicitor General of the United States. The solicitor general at the time was Robert Bork, and Easterbrook has reminisced that when he joined the Solicitor General's office, "The Washington Post noted that around the same time the SG's Office had hired three lawyers either fresh from clerkships or lacking the customary appellate experience. None of us had clerked on the Supreme Court. The Post concluded that good lawyers were no longer willing to work for the SG and attributed this to Bork's role in firing Archibald Cox as Watergate special prosecutor. The paper thought that dark days lay ahead for the Office with a second-rate staff. The three bottom-of-the-barrel selections were Robert Reich (later Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration), Danny Boggs (now Chief Judge of the Sixth Circuit), and me."[2] Easterbrook was considered "one of the very top advocates appearing before the Supreme Court in his days at the bar".[3]
Easterbrook joined the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School in 1978 (and is still a senior lecturer there today), and was a principal at Lexecon from 1980 until his judicial appointment. Easterbrook argued 20 cases before the Supreme Court while in the Solicitor General's office and in private practice, including several landmark antitrust cases.
Nomination and judicial career
Easterbrook was nominated to the court by Ronald Reagan in August 1984 to a new seat created by 98 Stat. 333, 346; the U.S. Senate did not act on his nomination that year, and he was renominated in Reagan's second term on February 25, 1985.
He was confirmed by the Senate on April 3, 1985, and received his commission the next day. The American Bar Association gave Easterbrook a low "qualified/not qualified" rating, presumably due to his youth and relative inexperience. In 2001 this rating was claimed by the George W. Bush administration as evidence of liberal bias in the ABA in its announcement that it would no longer confer with the ABA in selecting judicial nominees.[4][5]
Among Judge Easterbrook's most prominent opinions are:
- American Booksellers v. Hudnut (1986)[6]
- Kirchoff v. Flynn (1986)[7]
- In re Erickson (1987)[8]
- In re Sinclair (1989)[9]
- United States v. Van Fossan (1990)[10]
- Miller v. South Bend (1990)[11]
- United States v. Marshall (1990)[12]
- ProCD v. Zeidenberg (1996)
- Asher v. Baxter International Inc. (2004)
- BMG Music v. Gonzalez (2005)
- Hosty v. Carter (2005)
- Doe v. Smith 429 F.3d 706 (7th Cir. 2005)
As a young judge in one of his early opinions, Kirchoff v. Flynn, 786 F.2d 320 (CA7 1986), a lawsuit over an arrest for feeding pigeons in a park, Easterbrook used such language as "trundled to the squadrol" to describe an arrest; and states of the pigeon-feeder that she "will never be confused with the 30th Earl of Mar, whose hobby was kicking pigeons". He described a controversy over whether a police officer, or the plaintiff's own bird, had attacked the plaintiff as: "[Plaintiff] says that he was clobbered by a pair of handcuffs; [the officer] maintains that the [plaintiffs]' red macaw drew the blood when it landed on [plaintiff]'s head during the fracas and started pecking". In a footnote, he added "Predatory birds rarely attack large animals whose eyes they can see, 11 Harv.Med. School Health Letter 8 (Feb.1986), and perhaps William's eyes got distracted, to his macaw's glee." This serves as an example of Easterbrook's sophisticated deftness with language and breadth of knowledge. This deftness sometimes, however, results in passages from his opinions that require dictionaries in order for a layman to understand, such as in Frantz v. U.S. Powerlifting Federation, 836 F.2d 1063 (7th Cir. 1987), where he wrote, "The absence of ineluctable answers does not imply the privilege to indulge an unexamined gestalt."
University of Chicago Law School Dean Saul Levmore stated that "Easterbrook is an important influence on legal education through his judicial opinions. Course after law school course has changed for the better as Judge Easterbrook's opinions have made their way into the curriculum. So long as he decides cases, and decides them in a way that cuts to the heart of an issue with such skill and pressure, no area of law can be dull".[3]
Easterbrook had a reputation for being "hard-nosed and demanding" during oral argument.[3] In Schlessinger v. Salimes (1996),[13] for example, he characterized the lawsuit as "goofy" and the appellant's arguments as "nutty" before issuing an order to show cause why the appellant and lawyer should not be sanctioned for a frivolous appeal. His demeanor has won him enemies in the bar. In 1994 the Chicago Council of Lawyers published an "evaluation" of the Seventh Circuit that evaluated all the judges and the court's procedures in general, but notably focused extensively on only two: Easterbrook and then-chief judge Richard Posner.[14] The evaluation of Easterbrook contained an unusual number of grievances; and the Council did not specify authorship, so the criticism is anonymous. In a section devoted to Easterbrook's judicial demeanor, the report claims he "has consistently displayed a temperament that is improper for a Circuit Judge. While Judge Easterbrook has many good qualities, there is a widespread belief that he is arrogant and intolerant with those who do not match his own intellectual level. This problem seriously interferes with the performance of his duties". The report continued to state Easterbrook "has been resoundingly and repeatedly criticized as being extremely rude to attorneys at oral argument" and that "some attorneys" said that due to the judge's demeanor they and their clients did not feel they got a fair hearing. The Council pointed to another opinion, Kale v. Obuchowski, which derided a lawyer's argument as "pettifoggery" and concluded that the appeal was "frivolous, doomed and sanctionable".[15] The Council argued that even if the lawyer's conduct was sanctionable, "the language chosen does not enhance the administration of justice".[citation needed]
However, this review by the Council was never repeated, lending partial support to the defenders of Easterbrook and Posner that the report was an opportunity for anonymous venting by lawyers who were unhappy with the results of Seventh Circuit decisions, in no small part thanks to the decisions of Reagan appointees Easterbrook and Posner. Posner has recently commented about the report, "You have here some anonymous people who are talking to the Chicago Council of Lawyers. How much credence should we put on these people? They can be sore losers. They can be crybabies."[16]
Easterbrook became Chief Judge of the Seventh Circuit in 2006 and retired from that post in 2013. He is a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States and head of the Judicial Council for the Seventh Circuit.[3]
Easterbrook called Learned Hand and Oliver Wendell Holmes his "judicial heroes".[17]
Academic work
Easterbrook's academic work focuses on corporate law, particularly the 1991 book The Economic Structure of Corporate Law, which he coauthored with Daniel Fischel. Easterbrook's article, "The Proper Role of a Target's Management in Responding to a Tender Offer", 94 Harv. L. Rev. 1161 (1981) (also coauthored with Fischel) is the most heavily cited corporate law article in legal scholarship. Easterbrook has also written articles on antitrust law and judicial interpretation, including Abstraction and Authority, 59 U. Chi. L. Rev. 349 (1992); Statutes' Domains, 50 U. Chi. L. Rev. 533 (1983); and Textualism and the Dead Hand, 66 Geo. Wash. L. Rev. 1119 (1998).

WWE Star Paige Proposes to Alberto Del Rio In Ring, Father Condemns Engagement
Currently suspended WWE star Paige made an appearance at WWC Aniversario 43 in Puerto Rico over the weekend. There, she proposed to her boyfriend, former WWE star Alberto Del Rio, in the middle of the ring.
The moment took place after Del Rio's match, as Paige entered the ring and proposed. Del Rio pulled her close and whispered something in her ear, and followed it up with a kiss. S we're assuming Del Rio said yes, not that we could have heard the answer anyway, considering the entire arena was ringing with chants of "Si! Si! Si!" That said, it was an endearing little moment for a couple that not a lot of people in the business seem too happy about. But more on that in a bit. First, you can watch the proposal video and Paige's post-proposal backstage reaction below:
Now, about the objections to the relationship: as it turns out, Paige's father isn't the least bit happy about this. Her father, British independent wrestler Ricky Knight, straight-up condemned his daughter's relationship in a post to Facebook. The post has since been deleted, but it read:
"Putting this out there then saying no more about it to anyone. I am totally against my daughter marrying that man statement over"
I'm not exactly sure why Paige's father is against the relationship, but perhaps he attributes her career troubles to Del Rio. While Paige has always been outspoken, both in the ring and backstage, she hasn't really had significant problems with management until her relationship with Del Rio really started to take off. She was suspended for her first Wellness Policy violation on the same day as Del Rio, leading to speculation that the couple had been popped for the same substance. This, coupled with rumors that WWE was trying like hell to break the couple up, gave the impression that Paige would likely have to choose between her career and her relationship. Judging by her recent second Wellness Policy violation, and her attack against the company on social media, which prompted a swift and scathing response from WWE, it seems she's chosen Del Rio. But hey, if she really loves the guy, and he loves her, then more power to them. I just don't see either returning to WWE though.
On the one hand, it'd be a shame to lose Paige, considering that both the Raw and Smackdown women's divisions could use more depth. On the other hand, Paige is still nursing a neck injury that could keep her out as long as another seven months, so it's not as if she'd be in a position to help out right now anyway. And by the time she's cleared to wrestle again, WWE might have called up any number of women to the main roster from NXT to fill the void. I guess the other issue is that, now that Del Rio is gone from the company, Paige doesn't seem to really want to be there anymore. If she did, I don't think she'd have lashed out at WWE on social media like that. A guy like Roman Reigns gets popped for a Wellness violation, and he quietly does his time so he can hurry up and get back without causing a fuss. But Paige followed up her Wellness violation by getting slapped with another one. Even if her violation was for a legitimate substance, which WWE insists it wasn't, you'd think Paige would have done due diligence to make sure she wasn't flagged unnecessarily. This whole situation is kind of a mess.
But congratulations to the couple. Hopefully, their happiness together outweighs whatever they could have found in WWE.

The opening sentence of Franz Kafka's Die Verwandlung is one of the most well-known in literature yet the simplicity of it belies the rich and unknowable meaning of the work itself; the number of interpretations of the novella testifies to its importance and underlying complexity. It is possible to read the novella superficially almost as if were one watching a cartoon but a closer look at Kafka's family background and the situation of Jews in a city which was at the time half German and half Czech will pay dividends. Kafka's work is now seen as some of the most important of the 20th century, defining the nature of a civilisation becoming increasingly alienated both at a family and societal level.

I really enjoy teasing your body with my toes and showing off how strong my petite, curvy legs look in heels (that's why spanish women got their legs, I realized...they wear heels in everything!)
I LOVE to receive foot massages and have an end of day ritual that I perform to care for my feet. I make some attempts to increase my pedal dexterity, and your suggestions would be appreciated!
On NYE 2005 I nearly broke my finger, though, bending over to adjust the strap on the stilettos I was going to wear out for the night. I still wore them, and they looked hotttttt, but my finger still hurts. I have one of my boyfriends help me take my shoes on and off and rub my feet several times a week. My other boyfriend already knows how to groom nails, but he's in another state.
I never appreciated my feet until I saw how hot it made my boyfriend. Help me appreciate my feet more! :)

Jonathan Pitts-Wiley has been Mixed Magic's Artistic Director since April 2010. A 2007 graduate of Yale University, Jonathan has been involved with many of the company's productions as a director, writer and actor. Some of those credits include: The Spirit Warrior's Dream, Moby-Dick: Then & Now, The Tempest, Art of Attack, King Lear, Fences, Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train, The House in Providence, The Diner and Mr. Stone and Rose's Money.In 2010, Jonathan also wrote and directed the critically-acclaimed When Mahalia Sings, a play dealing with the life and times of gospel great Mahalia Jackson. Since 2013, Jonathan has been teaching history as a member of the Upper School Humanities faculty at the Moses Brown School and was named Department Chair in 2016.
Recently, Jonathan sat down to talk a bit about his job at the Theatre…
Q: How did you get involved with the theatre and ultimately become artistic director?
A: (Smiling) Seeing as my parents have been involved in theatre so long, I guess I've been involved my whole life. With Mixed Magic in particular, I started doing some script editing work while I was still in college. At school, I caught something of the directing bug and had an opportunity to train at Mixed Magic. The artistic directorship kind of fell into my lap. My father and mother wanted to take the company in a certain direction and had the confidence in me to hand over the reins. I often tell people it's only nepotism if you blow it.
Q: What attracted you to directing?
A: As far as the attraction of directing, I think I like to put the big picture together. I enjoy being on stage, but I'd rather cultivate performances and help along the storytelling process, keeping people from bumping into the furniture and seeing what comes of it.
Q: What exactly is the role of an artistic director?
A: When I find out I'll let you know! Having sat down with a few people who've done the job before, it's a little while before you really get the hang of it. What I do know is it's my responsibility to steer the artistic vision of the company and hopefully build upon it. I build the season, choosing plays I think are a good fit for Mixed Magic and its audience.
Q: What do you enjoy most about theatre?
A: I enjoy the escape and immediacy of it. Boiled down, theatre is playing make-believe for a few hours and hoping the people watching enjoyed themselves at the end. Along the way, you're sharing space with your audience and feeding off of them while they feed off of you. There are no takes; it's a right-now medium and that pressure keeps you spry.
Q: Do you have any plans to make your way onstage in the near future?
A: Thankfully, I can use my directing schedule as an excuse for not getting up on stage, but I wouldn't be surprised if I made my way on stage soon.
Q: What do you think you stand to gain or learn from the time you spend as artistic director?
A: Well, I certainly think it's an opportunity to leave a creative mark. The "gain" is all the things that come with having done that well. But it's more than that. This is a company my parents built. I met my wife at the theatre. We bring our daughter to rehearsals at this theatre. I'd be lying if I said the gain wasn't centered around the feeling you get when you've honored not only a craft that you love, but your family as well. As far as learning, outside of sheer management skills, it's a good look into how business gets done, how theatre is created and all the things that have to happen before actors even get scripts in their hands.
Q: What direction do you hope to take the company in?
A: Under my leadership, I hope to build upon our current mission while returning to an elemental part of theatre: telling stories that people can relate to on some level. In my mind, theatre comes down to the feeling it gives you, the visceral reaction you feel as you escape for a few hours. I can go on and on about what a play makes me think about, but that's not more important than how it makes me feel.
Q: What do you feel you bring to Mixed Magic?
A: Besides my good looks? I like to think I bring a creativity tempered by the exposure I've had to the various parts of theatre growing up. I'm a history guy; it was my favorite subject and school and still one of my great interests. And what's history besides someone's version of a story?

Warren Buffett sure knows how to pick em'. Most folks have never heard of China's BYD auto company and by the time they do Buffett might have pocketed another cool billion or two. BYD is selling cars like crazy in China and be sure you will see them state side in the near future!
From the Detroit News:
Shanghai — BYD, the Chinese automaker with backing from billionaire Warren Buffett, says its net profit more than tripled last year as the company's F3 sedan topped the country's list of best-selling autos.
BYD is among several Chinese automakers whose fortunes have risen as sales took off last year, largely thanks to government tax cuts and subsidies aimed at boosting demand, especially for energy-efficient small vehicles.
BYD's net profit soared to 3.79 billion yuan ($555.5 million) in 2009, the automaker reported late Sunday, up from 1.02 billion yuan the year before.

Choosing the right paint booth can be very tricky sometimes. The paint booth is a broad term that encompasses both high-production booths and the basic space. These booths have many features and additional systems incorporated in them. The type of the booth chosen is mainly dependent on the user's needs and preferences. Some will prefer a basic set up that can grow with their business while others are interested in high-production paint booths. Factors considered when choosing a wooden paint booth include size, budget, and booth location.
Nature of the business
Individuals having start-up business should go for the basic structures. If you have such a business, you should choose the right structure for your current business and what you will need in future. Considering the pros and cons of the different structures will help you in making an informed decision. Described here below are the main types of woodworking paint booths.
Side draft
In this structure, air is introduced through its ceiling and the exhausted through its side walls. The vast majority and ceiling of this structure are filtered. It is helpful in creating an even flow of air around the object. The paint contaminants and overspray should be drawn away and down. It does not need any concrete pits. This has helped in bringing down the construction costs. It is expensive than the other structures but it is superior to them.
Cross-draft paint booth
With this structure, air can be sent directly to your vehicle or any other object that you are painting. It is one of the most popular booths. The incoming air introduced through the main doors and it is then exhausted through its back walls. It is economical because it is made using little and simple construction materials. Again it does not require any concrete work for it to function properly.
Semi-downdraft paint booths
This is almost similar to the cross section one because air is exhausted through the rear part of the workspace. The only difference is that air is drawn into this booth through the small section of its ceiling. This hole is located at the front of this structure. The created draft pattern is directed to the filtered area of the kitchen towards the exhaust area. The incoming air flows down wad diagonally. It has a simple design that is vet economical. No concrete work is required when making it.…

Branden Jacobs-Jenkins makes his Vineyard Theatre mainstage debut with this new play about young coworkers in a fierce work environment all vying for top status. More…
An ambitious group of editorial assistants at a notorious Manhattan magazine each hopes for a starry life of letters and a book deal before they turn thirty. But when an ordinary humdrum workday becomes anything but, the stakes for who will get to tell their own story become higher than ever.
"All you need to know is that the bitingly funny and fierce 'Gloria' is one of the year's best shows. What playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins says about American society, the media and how we package celebrity and tragedy is as spot-on as it is depressing...'Gloria' is an adrenaline rush of a show, but it also makes you think. Let's just say it hits the bull's-eye." Full Review
"The playwright handles his serious themes in a thoughtful, provocative manner, displaying his penchant for meta-theatricality with the startling device of having nearly all of the performers take on multiple roles that playfully comment on the others...A rare example of a contemporary play that keeps us constantly guessing where it's headed, 'Gloria' is a work not to be easily forgotten." Full Review
"Gloria, like a classical movement from Handel or Vivaldi, makes the mundane sublime. With its superb action and witty yet emotionally moving script the play takes us on an exhausting and exhaustive journey. With the pulse of the first act, the rest of the scenes ripple hoping to come to stasis; and the audience hopes, nay prays, too. Brace yourself for an unassuming play that packs a wallop. This piece represents how good off Broadway can be." Full Review
"The first play of real brilliance of this new season...Jacobs-Jenkins has constructed a bear trap of a play marked by a jaw-dropping first-act curtain and a second act that appears to wander off in many directions but does nothing of the kind...What is especially remarkable is how he strips his characters bare, revealing their sharp-elbows and self-aggrandizing natures, while also granting them their authentic pain...Savagely funny, deeply upsetting, and profoundly compassionate." Full Review
"It's ridiculously rich and, as the layers accumulate, powerful and moving stuff that implicates everything about the news and social culture in which we're mired, and forces us, like the characters, to confront our complicity in every part of it...As for the actors, they're all well cast and no one strikes a totally false note, but none lands with quite the precision that might be ideal...As drama, as comedy, as commentary, and as theatre, 'Gloria' is just plain glorious." Full Review
"While you might see this cliffhanger coming a mile away, in the hands of this playwright and this director, it feels as though it's the first time something like this has ever been done...Delivered by the astonishing cast of six, 'Gloria' sings with the vitality of youth...'Gloria' also contains one of the best, lighting-fast special effects to be seen off-Broadway in recent memory. Like the play itself, its shocking believability will make your jaw drop." Full Review
"'Gloria' is truly explosive dramatic work that by ensuring we 'react,' tries to save us from becoming as detached as its characters...For all its use of meta elements, 'Gloria' remains quite straightforward and evades becoming too cerebral, it's as if the playwright realized he was in danger of turning the play into one of the very elements it openly criticizes. It openly invites us to stop and think things over, reminding us that sometimes silence is truly the most eloquent form of communic... Full Review
"This is a fast-paced drama that will stay in your mind long after it's over. I won't list any spoilers here, but trust me, you will learn why the play is called 'Gloria' and you will have quite the intermission chatter...Each scene begins and ends with classical music, and each scene contains quite a lot of quarreling. In this brilliant piece, it's as if Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins is saying that the more things change, the more they stay the same." Full Review
"Evan Cabnet's direction is smooth, the ensemble is polished, and the writing is filled with lively and often very funny language. While Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins's insights into working at a faux-New Yorker may not be what you'll get from Mary Norris's book, they're still enough to provide you with one of the better new plays of the young season." Full Review
"Critics have been asked not to reveal 'aspects of the play...' This makes it tough to offer the full flavor of 'Gloria,' since it's in reaction to these traumatic events that the play darkens and deepens, providing more illumination into the characters, and raising some intriguing questions...Does it smell of revenge, or is its purpose to make larger points? Probably both. Would it have been produced without the bombshell that I can't talk about? Probably not. And that's ironic, considering ... Full Review
"Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is a playwright on a roll, displaying diversity with this contemporary work that's a world away from his sly, slavery-themed 'An Octoroon.' The new play isn't as daring or deep, but it's dexterous and entertaining...Director Evan Cabnet has assembled a terrific cast of newcomers and seasoned stage pros. Most play more than one role and impress in each...The script isn't airtight...But the dialogue tolls like a tuning fork and captures everyday interoffice insecurity." Full Review
"The six actors are outstanding. The sets are noteworthy. I suspect that 'Gloria' will have life beyond its Vineyard run, and it's very much worth seeking out if it plays regionally in your neck of the woods. I am very glad to be introduced to this playwright and look forward to his future work." Full Review
"The play begins with a good deal of humor. It is difficult to see where he is leading us at first, but it's the aftermath of the climax of the first of three scenes that is important...It was fine, Evan Cabnet's production could stand a bit of tightening, a clearer sense of tempo. That will no doubt come in time...'Gloria' it is the work of an important contemporary playwright and well worth seeing." Full Review
"The play's satirical streak—its sic transit gloria mundi attitude toward the media and the way it distorts us into frenzy—is accented (and sometimes stressed too hard) in Evan Cabnet's direction. But the play has powerful things to say about how we tune in and tune out. After the shock, it's the human touches that linger." Full Review
"This dark satire is funny, sad, deeply disturbing, and revealing as Evan Cabnet deliciously molds this talented cast like putty in his hands...If you want the scoop on how the media shapes lives, visit any magazine publishing office or let Jenkins give you his interpretation...Without a doubt, Jenkins is a playwright of note and I eagerly look forward to seeing more of his work." Full Review
"Unfortunately, the second and third acts are not really compelling, aside from deft backstabbing and jockeying for deals. The suspense that Jacobs-Jenkins and Cabnet created with the first-act denouement and first-rate dialogue can't override the fact that the entertainment industry's utter lack of interest in the truth is not news. Still, 'Gloria' bears a persuasive message about being a little nicer to colleagues at work, because you never know what's really in that lunch bag." Full Review
"In Jacobs-Jenkins's new comedy/drama 'Gloria', several low echelon editorial assistants at an unnamed Manhattan cultural magazine are spending a typical day at work. All appears calm and relatively stress free. But a harrowing event brings about a sea change in everyone's behavior...'Gloria' has the benefit of a terrific artistic team, from director Cabnet, to an extremely talented cast of six actors, many of whom double so convincingly that it's difficult to detect." Full Review
"The author builds up to the Act I climax slowly, without much warning, providing a heightened buzz at intermission. He continues to surprise, shock and confound throughout the play. Director Evan Cabnet has molded his group of actors into a finely tuned machine. The players are just so in sync with each other." Full Review
"'Gloria' is a straightforward, sharp-toothed comic drama, rather in the acidic vein of Neil LaBute, Bruce Norris and Theresa Rebeck...I don't want to make excessive claims for 'Gloria.' It isn't written in the immortal, self-defining, action-shaping language of similar skewering comedies in which you get high listening to the propulsive, adrenalized talk. At this point, Mr. Cabnet's production doesn't have that compelling zing...But 'Gloria' allows us to glimpse the real, familiar, fallible ... Full Review
"It is the kind of play that undergoes a dramatic shift in tone from Act One to Act Two... Even before the drama becomes heightened, the play (ably directed by Evan Cabnet with fine performances) provides an all too realistic depiction of office politics and gossiping. If the second half is heavy-handed, Jacobs-Jenkins gets his points across while providing plenty of satire." Full Review
"Under Evan Cabnet's barbed direction, a smart cast applies cutting wit to satirize five ruthlessly ambitious editorial assistants and the social outcast they make the butt of their jokes. The humor is dark and cruel, but terribly funny — until it suddenly isn't. At which point, the comedy jumps the rails and doesn't get back on track — until it suddenly does... The scribe veers so sharply into the dark side that he abandons the vital humor that made this bleak satire of the fashionable liter... Full Review
"But the play never sings with interpretive, inflammatory meaning...The words these characters speak don't hold any compelling mystery about who they are, A touching, penetrating point about how each type of person we know, with minor adjustments, could be someone else. It's the play's only observation worthy of one of America's most exciting dramatists." Full Review
"'Gloria' is a cartoonishly flat close-up on a single focus of interest...'Gloria' is no more and no less than the sum of its parts: sharp dialogue, a mostly latent commentary on race, and those irredeemable characters. The combination makes for a comedy about all that is wrong with publishing but not much more." Full Review
"In 'Gloria' especially, he toys with audience expectation as a form of drama in itself, regardless of content; indeed, much of the content is of very little consequence...How Hollywood degrades the event further is not only disappointing as a dramatic device but also just plain stale. It may well be that Jacobs-Jenkins is using the staleness deliberately, that he wants you to choke on your giggles. The whole play has that cart-before-the-horse feeling, as if written backward from its effects... Full Review

It usually comes up with a small mention to a curious coworker about "lightning day." Each July 28, I try to celebrate being alive, because on that day, 21 years ago, I was hit by lightning.
Being struck by lightning was one of the most memorable things that ever happened to a kid who grew up in Fairbanks. It immediately put me in an exclusive club. According to the National Weather Service, the odds of someone being struck by lightning during their lifetime is about 1 in 12,000. An average of 51 people are killed by lightning each year in the U.S., making it the second most fatal weather-related phenomenon (flooding is the most deadly.) Worldwide, it's estimated that lightning kills as many as 24,000 people annually. But, like other lightning strike survivors, some of my memories of that day (and the following two weeks) are slightly smeared -- like looking at a watercolor picture after it has been left out in the rain. With that said, here's how I remember it:
The date was July 28, 1993 -- the day before my 25th birthday. At 6:45 p.m., I was standing on a baseball field in North Pole, a small community 15 miles southeast of Fairbanks, waiting for the game to begin. Our team -- the Alyeska Pipeline Tigers – was about to face the North Pole Titans.
I was the center fielder. While we waited for the game to start, the pitcher and catcher hit ground balls to the infielders. I vividly recall the sounds: the soft metallic "clink" of the bat, the leathery "thwap" as the ball hit the first baseman's mitt. Dragonflies whizzed past, darting across the green grass at Newby Field, once home to a former Alaska Baseball League team called the North Pole Nicks.
Oh, yeah, and once every few minutes, I heard thunder. It seemed distant. I looked up and saw nothing but blue sky. Far to the east, past the center field fence, were some clouds.
A bit bored, I called for a ball from the dugout so we outfielders could keep our arms warm. I struck up a conversation with the left and right fielders, Damon Alexander and J.R. Johnson, about what would happen if an opposing player got to second base (a distinct possibility since our team -- myself included -- was of marginal ability). I remember telling Damon that he should watch out for James Johnson – the power-hitting clean-up batter for the Titans. I was much more worried about what havoc Johnson might cause on the scorecard than the distant thunderstorms.
Then it happened. I remember hearing a high-pitched whine in the air -- something you could almost feel, like the shuddering-to-life of an old television. Hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
A bright flash followed (I never heard the thunderclap), and I found myself on the ground. I couldn't move. The air around me seemed heavy, preventing my limbs from working. I couldn't talk. When I opened my eyes, a military medic -- a player from the opposing team -- was about to start CPR. (He later said that when he first got to me, he couldn't find my pulse.)
Confused and angry, I told him, "Get off me." I thought I had been hit in the head with that ball I had asked to be thrown my way from the dugout. My mouth was full of rocks, which I quickly spit out as my body began to work again. When I looked at what came out of my mouth, I realized they weren't rocks, but my tooth fillings. All of them.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked out loud.
The answer I got seemed ridiculous at the time.
"You guys got hit by lightning," the baseball-playing Army medic said.
I rolled over to see the other two outfielders on the ground as well. Damon Alexander was moaning. He was surrounded by several players from our team. J.R. Johnson -- also an Army soldier -- was all alone a few feet away. He was grumbling something incoherently as he "low-crawled" toward second base. Like me, Johnson didn't know he had been hit by lightning. He thought he had been shot.
Others on the team were on the ground as well. Most were stumbling to their feet like dazed prizefighters trying to beat a 10-count. I tried to stand up, but my legs and balance betrayed me. Almost immediately, my face was reintroduced to the patchy grass.
Then things get fuzzy. I remember people running around the field, tending to other players. I remember being propped up in the dugout. I remember being mad that I couldn't play in the game. (Adult league baseball games were notoriously hard to schedule and even after the lightning strike, both teams and the umpires decided to start the game. It was cut short two innings later when lightning hit the outfield fence.)
I recall that the Army medic who ran to my aid as I lay on the ground unconscious said that he saw the lightning hit my head and branch off, hitting Alexander and Johnson nearby.
"It lit you up like a Christmas Tree," he said.
I remember people saying someone should go get help -- it was, after all, 1993, and cellphones were not as prevalent as they are today.
I don't remember insisting I didn't need medical attention.
My next clearly recalled moment is from a stretcher at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, some 18 miles from the field. I thought I had gotten there by ambulance. In reality, I had driven myself from the field to my parents' house in my father's 1979 green Dodge passenger van, which I had earlier driven to the game. My mother said she remembers me arriving at the house in the green van and stumbling inside, saying something like, "I may have been hit by lightning." It was my father, Pat, she said, who immediately loaded me into the van and drove me to the hospital.
Once inside, my memories become clearer. I can still see the bewildered look in the faces of a crowd of doctors and nurses attending to me. As they began to cut away the $130 replica Detroit Tigers jersey I was wearing, I yelled at them to let me just take it off.
The jersey now on the floor, the doctors and nurses began to turn me over, looking for pattern burns, or a "blow-out" -- a hole left in the flesh when strong electrical currents leave the human body. A small hole on my left foot and a tiny burn on my left ankle were my only apparent injuries.
At this exact moment, just six hours before my 25th birthday, my mother, Barbara, ran into the room, screaming, "my baby, my baby."
A quick conversation with the nearest doctor led to a small cloth being placed over my groin while the nurses began an IV.
I was told that I had a concussion, and that the lightning apparently hit the little metal beanie on top of my baseball cap. (I went back to the field two weeks later, but never found that beanie.)
A reporter for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner called to talk to me about what happened. A producer for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" called, wanting to know if my life had changed since the lightning strike. You know, questions like "Did you see God?" and "Do you have any lasting after-effects?"
I was lucky. The game hadn't started when I was hit. I wasn't sweaty. There was no rain above us when the streak of lightning hit me and felled my entire team. Lightning can eliminate all the air nearby, and when it rushes back in, people standing nearby can be knocked over. The force of that air was the cause of my concussion, according to the doctors, my only lasting injury from the event. Oh, and I needed new tooth fillings.
These days, my only real lightning strike symptoms are the occasional unexplained migraine, some intermittent nerve pain, lingering memory loss of the days and weeks following the strike and probably most acute of all, the incessant need on the anniversary of the event to tell people I have been struck by lightning. After all, it could have been much worse. According to the Juneau division of the National Weather Service, in 1986, near Tok, a young girl was killed and her three companions injured when lightning struck a tree under which they were taking shelter from a passing storm. The National Weather Service said it does not track lightning strikes on people unless they are fatal.
Still, I never played organized baseball again. I couldn't bring myself to stand in the middle of an open field.
When asked if I feel unlucky to have been hit, my answer is always the same.
"No," I say. "At least I am still here to annoy you with the story."
Oh, you won't catch me outside when thunder roars, either. Ever.

Awake Before Light
Where Was I ?
All I felt and experienced
What could only be
Such wonderful peace
I was dreaming
I was completely aware
Not one care
The dream is still fresh
I was doing all the action
There was no thinking needed
The longer I stay awake
The less I know
I want to go back
Little time for
I have to stay up
My eyes opening for the first time
As if they were glued shut before
The glue wearing off
Little by little
Now within only seconds
It is if I have traveled thousands of miles
The dream only vague and almost undesiphable
The more uneasy I become
Almost ancy
Now my cat strolls by me
As if she was always there
I am the stranger in a stranger world
The alarm clock sounds
Loud and annoying
For the second time
I feel my body
As if I had a rental car
I have it to use
No hurry to bring it back
A prominent thought left in my mind
It's only a loaner
Words I think about
Are not thoughts
They are simply words as of I was reading a teleprompt
I have never read one or did I even give it even a thought
Now other sounds of morning
Hearing my wife stir and cough in bed
Brings me closer to my own emotions and feelings
I am instantly hungry
How could this notion become so bold
All of a sudden
I see the world before my eyes
Just as I was looking at a picture
On with my day
As the rest of my thoughts have faded
As easy as a water color painting
On a summer day
What was once so clear
Has now evaporated with the morning air
Nice rhythm and rhyme in your poetry here. Meaningful dreams most likely won't fade away but those that are fleeting certainly will. Several years ago I had a very interesting night. I dreamt a very graphic dream There was lots going on and when I got up to let the cat into the room I though well there goes the dream I was considering at that moment to write it all down as I tend to do with such dreams but was so sleepy I though I would remember most of it when I did finally get up. Well as soon as I fell asleep again that same dream like a second part of a movie started up. When I did get up I got it all written down in my journal. I can't tell you about it now but I know that perhaps this dream can be part of a post I can make at some point. As they say get it all in writing.

Ashland County resident Dr. Donald R. Kaeser and the Ashland County Agricultural Society, represented by President Dan Stone, were honored during the recent 89th Ohio Fair Managers Association annual convention in Columbus for their outstanding service and completion of the fair season.
Kaeser, a two-term president of the Ashland County fair board, was 2013 Ashland County Fair Director of the Year. He is noted for his public work within animal programs of the fair and provided capital improvements that continue to benefit fairgoers in often unsung improvements.
He serves on the Ashland County Stock Tractor Pull committee and is on the board as a director-at-large.
Kaeser was among 40 individuals and organizations honored at the January event. Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels presented each recipient a certificate and seven were selected for plaque awards from Ohio's 94 county and independent fairs.
The Ashland County Fair completed a seven-day run in September in completion of the 2013 season.
Stone accepted the fair's certificate on behalf of the board.
Convention attendees were afforded educational seminars, networking and information to take back to their local boards.
Additional information on Ohio's fairs may be gathered at www.agri.ohio.gov and www.ashlandcountyfair.com.

Study: Gene test validates NCCN guidelines on chemo for breast cancer
Some early stage patients can skip chemo
mCancerPartner interviewed Dan Hayes, M.D., clinical director of the Cancer Center's breast oncology program. In late September 2015, investigators – including Dr. Hayes – showed that many women with early stage breast cancer can skip chemotherapy with good results, based on a gene test assessing which tumors were more likely to respond to chemotherapy. This study validates clinical recommendations in place since 2007 made by the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Dr. Hayes served on both recommendation task forces and provided the following remarks on the origin of these recommendations.
mCancerPartner: How has the standard of care for women with the most common type of breast cancer (early stage, hormone positive, HER2 negative, not spread to lymph nodes) evolved over the years? Continue reading
Cell hunters: the quest to rapidly deliver personalized medicine to pancreatic cancer patients
Editor's note: This is part of a series of blogs that focus on members of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Center. Led by an inter-disciplinary team of scientists and clinicians, the Center holds the promise to significantly change the bleak statistics associated with this disease by revolutionizing pancreatic cancer care. One therapeutic tool they are advancing involves gathering pancreatic cancer cells from the bloodstream, assembling them into replicas of a patient's tumor and testing various drug combinations on the copies to develop personalized medicine for each patient.
Pancreatic cancer patients are getting closer to the day when a small amount of their own blood will provide enough information so that doctors can recommend personalized treatments targeting the whole tumor. If you ask Diane Simeone, M.D., the Lazar J. Greenfield Professor of Surgery and director of the Pancreatic Cancer Center, this vision of the future may become reality in the next five years.

New treatments for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Increasing the chance to live longer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with an estimated 224,210 new diagnoses in 2014. The most common type of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer or NSCLC, affects seven out of eight lung cancer patients.
In October 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Opdivo® (Nivolumab) and Keytruda® (Pembrolizumab) to treat patients with advanced, or metastatic, NSCLC. Both medicines stimulate a patient's own immune system to destroy cancer cells.
At the University of Michigan's Multidisciplinary Lung Cancer Clinic, we are using both drugs in appropriate patients as standard of care. We also have other similar immunotherapy drugs in a variety of clinical trials.
Yellow skin, yellow eyes: do I have liver cancer?
Primary liver cancer is rare, but early diagnosis is important
As scary as these symptoms might be, many of the signs and symptoms of liver cancer can also be caused by other conditions, including other liver problems or even a vitamin overdose. None-the-less, yellowing of the skin and eyes, along with weight loss, itchy skin and feeling tired are some of the symptoms of liver cancer. By the time these symptoms occur, the disease may have already spread. That's why it is so important to see your doctor right away if you have these symptoms, so the cause can be found and treated.

Pathology 101: How a pathology report explains cancer
Pathology reports on suspected cancer say if a patient has a malignancy, type of cancer and if it has spread
Chances are, the treatment plan for your cancer was determined by the results on a pathology report. Before your diagnosis, you probably had a biopsy or surgery where a doctor removed cells or tissue for study under a microscope. Specialists called pathologists spend their days viewing these samples, understanding how they look compared to normal cells and preparing reports which summarize the findings on each biopsy for oncologists and surgeons.
We spoke with Cancer Center pathologist, Celina Kleer, M.D., director of the Breast Pathology Division in the Department of Pathology,to find out the information contained in a report and how your oncologist uses it to decide the best course of treatment for your cancer. Continue reading

Darnell Dockett is known for making jokes and speaking very candidly on Twitter. Sometimes people feel he goes a bit too far and last night was one of those cases.
Either Dockett had just attended a wedding or he was randomly thinking about marriage but he tweeted this:
Then things took a quick turn as he expressed his disdain about the partner wanting half once the marriage doesn't work out and that he doesn't "blame OJ".
Now everyone knows that OJ Simpson was accused of killing his wife Nicole. He was found not guilty but that didn't change the opinion of many that he did the crime. People assumed Dockett was condoning that action but he says he wasn't.

When you see Bella Thorne, you may recognize her as Bill Henrickson's (played by Bill Paxton) daughter, Teenie on "Big Love," but she has left the world of polygamous Utah to move into her new home, Disney Channel's "Shake It Up."
"'Big Love' was really fun," Thorne tells Zap2it. "I got to learn from all the actors. They were amazing, unbelievable actually. I'm so thankful to be able to work with them, but I work every day on ['Shake It Up'], so the scheduling doesn't work out. It made me so sad."
Yet, the gamble was a good one for the 13-year-old with Disney Channel reporting that "Shake It Up" ranks No. 1 among its target demographic – tweens between nine to 14-years-old.
Thorne plays CeCe, who along with her bestie, Rocky (played by Zendaya Coleman) get the chance to live out their dream when they land spots as backup dancers on a local show called "Shake It Up, Chicago." Consequently, the two have to keep up with both the competition and pressure on the show as well as their changing social status as school.
Thorne landed the gig with very little training in dance, so she only started dance classes last November for the role. "It was really hard," she says. "During our hiatus, I kept going to dance classes working with [our choreographer]. So, now it's not as much of a struggle for me as it was. I've just been getting better every episode."
Don't look now, but Bella Thorne is quickly becoming Disney's new breakout star. Get to know her:
Actress she most looks up to: "Natalie Portman. She went to college and she's been working since she was little and she chose the right career path. She is amazing."
Favorite TV show: "'The Vampire Diaries.' It would be so cool if Ian Somerhalder guest starred on 'Shake It Up.' CeCe loves vampires!"
Team Edward or Team Jacob?: "Taylor Lautner played my brother on 'My Own Worst Enemy,' so I kind of can't like him because that would be weird. So, I would have to say both. Why can't they just stop fighting? Just be friends. By the way, Taylor Lautner is so funny. He's such a great actor and he's so nice, and he's really ticklish, too!"
"Shake It Up" airs Sundays at 8:30 p.m. ET on The Disney Channel.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! This time of year is so fun with everyone in the spirit. Unfortunately, this year I am spending my Christmas visiting family in a country where the holiday isn't as popular, but I already got a head start on my Christmas cheer ;)
