The Health Check
The Health Check is a 4 – 5 week consulting engagement to get quick results. Although not the full Operations and Labor Strategy Review, the Health Check does start the process and identify some cost savings. A review of current workforce management technologies, calculation of True Labor Costs, and Workforce to Workload Mismatch Analysis are often included. For more details on this option (often customized for the particular client) please contact John Frehse @ 212-534-0539 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
To make matching the workforce as closely as possible to the workload, an example description of services is as follows:
Staffing Strategies for Seasonal and Variable Demand
Seasonal and variable customer demand profiles can create staffing nightmares for operations. In our on demand low cost world, customers expect the highest level of customer service at the lowest cost. To achieve this, innovative labor strategies must be used. Flexible schedules of all varieties have been implemented with varying degrees of success over the last decade to meet these requirements. Although they may be the answer, they are often riddled with inefficiencies and morale problems if implemented the wrong way.
Core Practice has a targeted approach to implementing flexible schedules by including both management and employees in the process. Health and safety are also carefully factored into the equation. This particular module focuses specifically on the business perspective by building staffing models to minimize cost.
Utilizing True Labor Cost Strategies
From the perspective of the business, meeting customer requirements is a goal without compromise. By understanding the real cost of overtime, idle time, and straight time, employers can make informed decisions about staffing strategies. The Core Practice team will analyze payroll data and accurately build the cost model. This complex process reveals many answers about staffing, labor costs, and how to reduce costs.
Setting the Right Staffing Strategies
Once the right labor cost profiles have been determined, staffing levels will be recommended that minimize adverse costs. This may mean using overtime strategically and minimizing idle time. Health and safety is always a factor and is incorporated into all Core Practice recommendations. Part time and seasonal staffing profiles will also be reviewed with the understanding that in many cases those profiles are inappropriate based on the skill and sensitivity of the jobs. This part of the process will give management teams the tools to reduce costs, strategically improve the end customer experience, and actively make decisions to continuously improve.
Model Creation
Building on the results from the True Labor Cost analysis, the Core Practice team will build shift models that minimize costs while still allowing the facility to achieve their goals. A variety of shift patterns will be presented with detailed descriptions of how they work including flexibility strategies for unforeseen demand changes as well as seasonal spikes in volume.

As Bobby Boswell headed back to the locker room after practice, he was adamant that my bud Dwayne and I had to interview Michael Porter, the Dynamo equipment manager.
We might have been willing to bug Porter if the young man wasn't so busy trying to pick everything up after serving as an emergency goalkeeper at practice while backup Tally Hall and starter Pat Onstad sat out the small-side scrimmage recovering from injuries. Tyler Deric, 22, was the only goalkeeper on the roster healthy enough to train 100 percent and serve as the other goalkeeper during the small-sided scrimmage.
Porter played well, showing the skills that made him a two-year captain and starting goalkeeper at tiny Malone College in Canton, Ohio.
"He had a shutout in a small-side game," said Hall, who will be unavailable for the fourth consecutive game because of a right ankle sprain. "I think I've had one of those all year where I don't get scored on in a small-sided game. There's always tons of goals. So he comes in and posts a shutout, so I think my job's in danger really. I got to figure out a job in the offseason to make ends meet while Porter takes my paycheck."
Hall was joking about losing his job to Porter, but Porter should definitely be proud of his effort. If you've played soccer in college, I promise you that you'd absolutely love to test yourself just once against some of the MLS' best.
I coach soccer and absolutely love the sport. I still brag to friends about scoring while Marcelo Balboa was defending against me in the early 1990s during a summer league for college players. Since that game I hadn't seen Balboa, a former U.S. national team star, until we played in the Celebrity Game on July 27 as part of the MLS All-Star Game Festivities.
We were on the same team this July, but I didn't have the guts to ask him if he remembered playing in that Cerritos, Calif., summer league. I knew he wouldn't because he actually played important games in his life. Nonetheless, I can appreciate how Porter felt today because on July 27 it felt pretty good when I was the leading scorer in the Celebrity game. I scored a pair, one on a volley with my left and another with my right.
Although Dominic Kinnear was being nice, he made my day a few days after the Celebrity Game when he teasingly called me "goleador" and said he was impressed with my speed. I'm just happy my wife and eldest daughter, Kathleen, were there to see me play a small-sided scrimmage against the likes of Alexi Lalas, Jeff Agoos and Eric Wynalda while teaming up with stars like John Harkes and Balboa.
It was all for fun, of course, but Harkes and I laughed when Balboa stole the ball early in the game with one of his strong, hard slide tackles.
Whatever the case, I had been wondering when I was going to be able to brag about scoring two goals on July 27 while also picking Lalas clean on another play. We're all old now, but anybody who has laced up boots will tell you there's a competitive spirit that awakens when you know you're playing some of the best of your generation.
In real news, Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear even admitted that the team has inquired about possibly signing a goalkeeper on a short-term basis to get through Saturday if Pat Onstad isn't ready after suffering a concussion and a strained right thumb last Saturday.
For now, Onstad is optimistic about being ready to start if called upon Saturday against the Philadelphia Union while Hall has been completely ruled out as Deric optimistically awaits his potential MLS debut.

Christmas may have come and passed, but what if all your fave directors made a film about the most wonderful time of the year?
If you've ever wondered how the likes of Wes Anderson, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese would envision Christmas Day, a group of filmmakers from the production company Fourgrounds Media compiled a series of reenacted clips into a funny mash-up.
Each scene captures the essence of each director from Woody Allen, Lars von Trier and EVEN documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.
But what happened to that tribute to Quentin Tarantino? How about the Coen Brothers? We would have been interested to see those!

Pictured above is Janela Arcos Lelis, a 12-year-old schoolgirl from Albay province. That's really her, on a very stormy day last July 26, risking life and limb to save the Philippine flag. The flag had been left behind in their already-submerged home. To keep her from getting swept away by the raging flood, Janela held on tightly to a rope hastily set up for evacuees. Her deed accorded her various honors — a plaque, a miniature flag pin, a full-sized flag, and Php 20,000 from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), not to mention quite a bit of media coverage. According to NHCP Executive Director Ludovico Badoy, what Janelis did was
"a selfless act of courage, reflective of her love for country and a constant reverence to the national symbol."
In the awarding ceremony, NHCP President Maria Teresa Diokno told Janela,
"…we hope that your classmates and all the other young people in the country will follow your wonderful example of giving tribute to our national flag."
The NHCP's heraldry chief Teodoro Atienza claims that in his 30 years of service, he had never come across anyone who dared to risk their life for the Philippine flag.
With all due respect, Mr. Atienza, no one had ever dared to risk their life for a piece of cloth before because it is a really, really, really bad idea. Just to refresh your memory, a young human being's life is infinitely more valuable than a large piece of cloth, no matter what it represents. And Ms. Diokno, your wording is a bit distressing. Some young men and women might misconstrue that as encouragement to forsake shelter in the midst of calamity just to save other physical symbols of our nation, in the hopes of receiving praise, attention, and maybe a decent-sized check.
What Janela did was born out of naivete, and one can't help but wonder why her deed generated such a response. It could be the culture of "Pinoy Pride" that permeates many aspects of the average Filipino child's life, from her schooling to the mass media she consumes. It is a culture of being absolutely ecstatic at the thought that some random half-Filipino American citizen who has never stepped foot on the motherland, so to speak, passed the first round of auditions on American Idol. It is a culture of taking pride in taking pride, of looking at our poorly developed, horribly managed, amnesiac country through thick, rose-colored glasses. Saving a flag in the midst of a flood that could have been avoided had the town been better planned in the first place? That seems to fit into this kind of culture just fine.
It must be noted that Janela did not do her deed entirely of her own volition. Her elder brother, a Citizen's Army Training officer in the local high school, was actually the one who told her to fetch the flag from their waterlogged home. Why didn't he do it himself? Because he was busy helping his relatives evacuate from their homes. (He has priority issues, that one.)
Janela complied not only because of the notion that the flag deserved utmost care and respect, as drilled into her in the classroom, but because she was afraid her brother would be berated by the school and have to pay for it if it got lost. The latter, in fact, seems to be the more plausible — yet still quite faulty — excuse behind her daring-do. People do stupid things for money and good repute. In fact, it's quite possible that the whole nationalist hullaballoo was purely manufactured by the government and media after the fact, and Janela only did the deed because she just happened to be the kind of blindly obedient girl from a poor family who'd feel that she had no other choice in the matter.
Whatever the case may be, NHCP's trumpeting of Janela's misguided act was a bad move. No, Janela should not be berated for what she did; she just didn't know any better. But neither should she have been the subject of so much pomp and circumstance. She should have simply been told that her show of selflessness was admirable, but that next time, she should prioritize her own life in such dire circumstances. She needs to be made to understand the illogic behind her deed in as kind a manner as possible, and that's it.
For the NHCP to make such a big fuss over this smacks of opportunism and nothing more. These people are adults; unlike Janela, they do know better. To praise her, and to tell the youth that they should follow her example, is sickeningly irresponsible. There are infinitely better ways to promote a love of country like, oh, say, encouraging people to do what they can to make the place actually worth fighting for, for starters. The men and women of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines should very well know that the country has remained in a poor state for the longest time, and that this has a lot to do with our tendency to make the same fatal mistakes over and over again, with one of these mistakes being our refusal to see the country for what it is and simply aggrandizing the most trivial things in the name of "pride."
Likewise, the media's eagerness to make NHCP's fuss-making more public was a bad move. And as we have learned from the whole Poleteismo brouhaha, where their sensationalism took the country down an especially dangerous path, they don't really seem to care that it was a bad move.
I can only hope that Janela eventually understands why what she did didn't deserve all that praise and attention. The flood she braved was much murkier than she thought, and far harder to get out of alive.

Berlin (Sep. 24)
Denying the press reports that the commission that is negotiating for the Agudath Israel's affiliation with the Jewish Agency for Palestine has met, the executive of the Agudath Israel, world Orthodox organization, announces that the commission will meet early in November. At the same time, the executive of the Agudath notes that, because Jewish education in Palestine is under the control of the Jewish National Council, the Agudath considers that the executive's chief condition for entering the Agency is unfulfilled so long as the financing of Jewish education in Palestine remains an Agency affair.
The Agudath executive also points out that cooperation between the Agudath Israel and the Jewish Agency is possible on political and economic questions without the Agudath joining the Jewish Agency.

Early dinner date!
Casually dressed, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis stepped out for a bite before sundown in Los Angeles on Monday.
As the newly engaged duo walked side by side down the street, Kunis kept her hands in her pockets, thereby preventing any sparkler sightings.
A source tells E! News the two arrived at a café around 5 p.m. and left about 45 minutes later.
They both seemed to be in great spirits, added the eyewitness.
The night before, the lovebirds attended Madonna's annual post-Oscars bash at her manager Guy Oseary's house. In addition to Kutcher and Kunis, the guest list included Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong'o, Julia Roberts, Miley Cyrus, Charlize Theron and Sean Penn.
E! News exclusively confirmed that the former That '70s Show co-stars are preparing to tie the knot after dating for almost two years.
Kunis was shopping last Thursday wearing a large diamond ring on that finger, and a source told us that she and Kutcher are indeed getting married.
Fans of the classic sitcom were first treated to signs of Jackie and Kelso's real-life coupling back in April 2012, though it took a number of months for them to be more public with their romance.
The pretty pair didn't hide their affection for one another and soon engaged in some PDA-packed trips around the globe. After attending their siblings' respective weddings in December 2013 and February 2014, Kutcher decided to pop the question.
For Kunis, marrying her man is a dream come true.
"Listen, in five years I do hope to have a family, and, you know, who knows?" she told Interview in August 2012. "I've always been a big proponent of not working for the sake of working, because I don't want to work for the rest of my life—I want to live."

Darcy woke up in the early hours of the next morning, and slipped quietly out of the room so as to not wake his sleeping wife. If he had been at Pemberley he would have headed immediately to the stables and a hard gallop across the fields. As this option was not open to him, he took instead to pacing across the floor of his library.
Elizabeth may have distracted him most pleasantly last evening from the behavior of Tandish, but he had by no means forgotten what had happened.
Fitzwilliam Darcy was furious. He expected some disapproval of his wife, but that Tandish would say such a thing to his face, and in front of his wife, was unendurable. But he must decide on an appropriate course of action before things got… out of hand. With a grim smile he remembered what had happened the last time someone had challenged his decision to marry Elizabeth.
Early in his engagement, Darcy had been obliged to spend several days in town dealing with business. While there, he had begrudgingly accompanied his cousin Richard to his club. It was there that Darcy had come upon an old Cambridge acquaintance, one Henry Gray. Having not seen each other for some time, Darcy and Gray had sat down to a glass of brandy and what started out as an enjoyable conversation. The enjoyableness had worn off when Darcy had told his friend of his coming marriage. Gray had been shocked that the illustrious Darcy would throw himself away on a mere country Miss.
"I say, Darcy! Whatever convinced you to marry the girl?"
"I love her, Gray."
"You mean to say that you wanted her."
"Take care, Gray."
"Why did you not have her and move on with your life?"
Ten minutes later Richard had dragged him out of the club, his hand wrapped in a bloody neckcloth. It was a pleasant memory that Henry Gray had needed to be carried out. Darcy had returned to Elizabeth the next day, needing to reassure himself of her love and goodness.
He told her his hand had been injured in a fencing accident.
As pleasant as was the memory of Gray's bloodied face, Darcy knew that he must never lose control of himself again, thus boxing was discarded as an option for Tandish. Though dueling was still under consideration.
It was still under consideration an hour later when Elizabeth came looking for him.
"You are thinking of a suitable punishment for Sir Edward," Elizabeth began without preamble.
Not trusting himself to speak, the last hour having put him in a truly frightening mood, he merely nodded.
Elizabeth wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest for several long minutes.
"We are never going to receive universal approval."
"Why could he not disapprove of me from a distance and have done?"
"Such is life. But remember, Fitz, you have got the better of him. He would have doomed you to a marriage as sad and loveless as his. But we know the joy of true love, and we can laugh at him in his ignorance."
Twinkling eyes met hers. "You ever were one to laugh by way of punishment."
"Yes, for we get all the joy of punishing him without his ever having been the wiser, and," she paused in hesitation, "then I need not worry for your life every time someone insults me."
"Then you do not care what he thinks of you?"
"No. And if I do not, then neither should you. His opinion means nothing to me."
He held her face in his two hands, his thumbs lightly caressing her cheeks. "I am so lucky to have you, Lizzy."
"Yes, and I intend to remind you of it quite frequently."
This tempted one side of his mouth up in an expression that was fast becoming as familiar to her as it was dear. "I think I need to be reminded again, Lizzy."
In response she slipped her arms around his neck and, standing on her toes, she reminded him for the next quarter of an hour.
Darcy took Elizabeth's advice, and for the remainder of their stay in London he laughed off every attempt to insult him. Yet the end of the week, bringing with it their trip to Pemberley, was a blessed relief to him. He realized that sharing Elizabeth with her duties as Mistress of Pemberley was not going to be nearly as bad as sharing her with the society of town.
It was a long two days journey to Pemberley, and so they began it early on Friday morning. The journey presented an interesting duality. Every mile they travelled towards Pemberley gave more and more excitement and anticipation to Darcy's countenance. And yet every mile she travelled towards her new home made Elizabeth more nervous and fidgety. This did not escape the notice of her new husband.
"Lizzy," he began, taking her hand in his, "are you unwell?"
She sat in silence for a few minutes, not daring to lift her eyes to his concerned face. "I am just a little nervous."
"Nervous?" he asked, lifting her chin gently so that he could look at her. "What have you to be nervous about?"
"What if I cannot do it? What if the duties of Mistress are too much for me?"
"Lizzy, that is ridiculous!"
"But I know nothing of the care and workings of such a large estate. So much will depend upon my decisions."
"And you shall do marvelously at this, as you do in everything. No one expects you to never make mistakes, but you shall always be forgiven for such." He took her face gently between his hands. "Are you truly worried about this?"
She nodded hesitantly at him. Darcy pulled her close to him and kissed her, murmuring how needless were her worries against her lips. She admitted that he was an excellent persuader. After several minutes she nestled her head against his chest.
"I am glad that you shall be home with me, Lizzy." His fingers were playing idly with her hair.
"Of course you are, Fitz. I imagine that you quite enjoy the privilege of having a wife."
Darcy blushed and looked away from her for a minute. "But not just for myself, Lizzy. I am glad for my sister's sake. Georgiana needs a female in her life, and she has so longed for a sister."
"I hope my impertinence does not rub off on her."
"And I hope that your vivacity does."
"You should not wish such on your poor gentle sister."
"On the contrary, I cannot think of a better sister for her. You will be able to teach her what I cannot."
This conversation occurred just as the carriage was entering the county of Derbyshire, and some of Elizabeth's fears subsided. But she would not admit to him what truly bothered her. Yes she was nervous to be Mistress of such a large estate, but her greatest fear was not for herself. Elizabeth had witnessed firsthand how much his servants respected him and she had seen how much the welfare of the people depended on Darcy's generosity. Elizabeth did not want to change this. And yet it was inevitable that her unguarded behavior would have an impact on the life around Pemberley. She could only hope that it would be for good instead of ill.
As the coach pulled into the Pemberley grounds, Elizabeth took Darcy's hand tightly in her own, but she did not speak again. Possibly because she was not entirely certain that she still had the power of speech. She was entering her new life, and she could not be happier.
A/N: This has been quite a fun story for me to write, and an interesting diversion from my normal prattle. But I have enjoyed it and your responses to it. Originally, I had wanted to write a real story. However, I discovered much to my chagrin that a good story needs a good conflict. And I just couldn't bring myself to make the Darcy's have to face anything else right now. So I will leave them to their blissful happiness.

and that no other opiates are present? I know the test they use is checking for Oxycodone and Buprenorphine levels because apparently the Buprenorphine or the naloxone .metabolizes into oxycodone. And from what I gather oxymorphone also metabolizes into oxycodone... not sure though... So will they detect the oxymorphone or will the results be the same as if only suboxone was present... Thanks
Will oxymorphone show up on a test that is checking to confirm suboxone is present in your system?

I can't specifically answer your question and not really sure where it is going but my sub doctor gives monthly tests. They test for the buprenorphine at the office but then they mail the sample off to a lab to check for anything else to make sure I'm not taking anything I'm not suppose to be.
right I know they do that, but what I'm saying/asking is if you use oxymorphone/Opana close enough to the time time your drug test at your opana Dr's--will it be distinguishable from the the suboxone?/because from what I was told by my Dr is that they test for the suboxone by checking the for Buprenorphine and Oxycodo
buprenorphine and oxycodone which the suboxone breaks down into. And I found out that Oxymorphone breaks down into Oxycodone. So Im wondering if the oxymorphone will show up in that test. Or will the results just be consistent with having suboxone my system?
When they tested us, it did show other opiates if someone had taken them on the quick test they do in the office. The mail off tests are supposedly more accurate, so, it show up as both. That is the purpose of the test, to see if anyone is taking something they shouldn't. If the person keeps taking opiates on top of the subs, they will usually kick them off the program, but, i think they may let them have at least one slip up.
The test will confirm the presence of suboxone and (maybe) its' level in your system. Then it's mailed out to a lab where it's checked for other substances. Oxycodone, Vicodin, Percodan, codeine (opiates in general) metabolize in to morphine in the system. But suboxone is different. They have a way to distinguish this med from all others. Regardless of what it eventually metabolizes as in the system. I think this is correct. Patti's right in that subs will test as subs only. Then they can check for other things too.
I know that that is not entirely accurate, as Oxycodone metabolizes into Oxymorphone NOT morphine.That's why i took oxymorphone and not morphine. They test for oxycodone levels when checking for sub, because it metabolizes into Oxycodone... and since when you TAKE oxycodone it metabolizes into oxymorphone. So i am assuming when the Sub breaks down into Oxycodone... that Oxycodone will break down further in Oxymorphone, I'm just not sure of the levels and if they can tell the difference.
NO OFFENSE but what you said about all those metabolizing into morphine is WAY OFF,,you shouldn't post if your not POSITIVE that it is 100% accurate. thanks for trying though. :) J...
"The screening immunoassay test has limited specificity for opiates. The test cannot differentiate morphine from codeine (natural occurring opiates) and will not reliably detect synthetic or semi-synthetic opioids. A confirmatory test is required to test for all opioids.
Knowledge of opiates' metabolism is needed for UDT interpretation. For example, codeine and heroin are both metabolized to morphine, through different pathways and different intermediary metabolites. A prescription for codeine may yield an appropriate positive result for codeine and morphine in the urine. However, if codeine is prescribed and only morphine is found in drug testing, the most consistent interpretation is the unknown use of morphine or heroin. Prescribed morphine will result in only morphine in a sample and not codeine"

Great research christine!
oxycodone metabolizes into oxymorphone
Oxycodone is extensively metabolized by multiple metabolic pathways to produce noroxycodone, oxymorphone and noroxymorphone, which are subsequently glucuronidated. Noroxycodone and noroxymorphone are the major circulating metabolites. CYP3A4 mediated N-demthylation to noroxycodone is the primary metabolite pathway of oxycodone with a lower contribution from CYP2D6 mediated O-demthylation to oxymorphone.

I stand corrected on the oxycodone. But stick to my guns on the others. Especially the codeine.
what does metabolize mean? so things will turn into something else in your system?
No offensive but if you become so worried that you have to post a question about it online then maybe you should not take medicine not prescribed to you. Opana is the name brand oxymorphone is the generic. It is a semi-synthetic morphine. It is man made to have less side affects of percocet like euphoria and itching. In a 12 panal urine test it will show up as an opiate and when its sent off they'll know it was opana.

Are you ready to leave your corporate career behind to find work at a nonprofit? I applaud you. But I also have a warning: If you don't take the time to learn about the unique needs, expectations and culture of the nonprofit sector before you send out your resumé, you might run into unexpected roadblocks that will keep you from getting hired.
These days, more and more Americans are shifting to nonprofit work after spending decades in the business world. As many as 9 million people age 44 to 70 have begun "encore careers" that combine social purpose with pay, and an additional 31 million hope to join them, according to a 2011 survey by Encore.org, the nonprofit think tank.
(MORE: How Women Can Find Work at a Nonprofit)
But as a career coach I've learned that making the transition from the corporate world to the nonprofit world doesn't always happen as easily or as quickly as you might expect.
So to help you make the move, I've put together five mistakes to avoid when looking for work at a nonprofit:
1. Applying at a nonprofit because you want an easy job. Many people have the misperception that working at a nonprofit will require less effort than a for-profit enterprise. But the opposite is true.
"When you work at a nonprofit, you're surrounded by people driven by a sense of mission and they operate at a very, very different RPM level" than corporate employees, says Wayne Luke, a partner at the Bridgespan Group, a nonprofit adviser based in Boston.
Jan Brown, a career coach and board chair of Powwow, a New York-based networking group for women at nonprofits, agrees. "You may still work weekends or put in 12-hour days," she warns. "There just won't be car service waiting to take you home at the end of the night."
So apply for a job at a nonprofit because you support its mission, not because you see it as an easy way to glide into the sunset after your corporate career.
2. Looking for a paid position at a nonprofit without ever volunteering. Hiring managers at nonprofits are suspicious of candidates who profess they care about the group's mission, or even about helping others generally, but have no experience to back up their claims.
"Saying you are passionate about hunger issues and then having zero volunteer experience in that area will not go unnoticed," Brown says.
(MORE: How to Find Volunteer Work That Leads to a Paid Job)
Be sure to devote time and energy as a volunteer to an organization whose purpose matters to you before launching a search for a paid nonprofit job.
3. Assuming that nonprofits aren't run like real businesses. Sure, nonprofits are focused on their missions. But they still want people who can help manage operations, cut costs and raise pots of money.
Nonprofits these days are especially keen on hiring applicants with strong management and financial skills, since the challenging economic times are forcing groups to compete for fewer dollars.
When you go for an interview, be prepared to demonstrate how you can effectively and efficiently help the nonprofit maximize its money and resources.
4. Being arrogant about your for-profit experience during the interview. Yes, your business background can help make you an attractive candidate. But don't be fooled into thinking that attractive equals superior.
"Assuming your successes in the corporate world were harder to achieve than if you'd been at a nonprofit, or that your expertise is somehow weightier, is just not true," Brown cautions. "Many of the people who work in the nonprofit world are professionals with solid experience who have worked their way up, gathering valuable and relevant expertise along the way."

There is more to having a good time with a female companion than simply scheduling things.
Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that there isn't as much to the whole process of having a good time with a female companion; at least not as much as many people make it out to be.
The description of female companion in this case will vary depending on the situation, from a female that will enjoy your company over the weekend in Switzerland, to a Birmingham escort, which may or may not refer to a female providing companionship to events such as dinners and weddings with/without sexual activity involved.
It isn't always a matter of money but creativity. If you are looking for something a little less debilitating to the budget, consider going out for milkshakes; yes, milkshakes, rather than the same old bar or pub, milkshakes at a fun establishment is a refreshing way of having a good time.
With the beach, you can expect a day of fun, maybe a little tanning, or surfing, basically a variety of breath taking activities in the water that will leave both of you refreshed and exhilarated.
You can shift between dinner and a movie or dinner and a long walk by the beach or through the quite streets or the most scenic route you can find. A movie doesn't always necessarily have to mean the theatre, as home movies can be just as fun and allow for a cozy space to laugh, talk and enjoy each other's company.
Consider going biking down a scenic route, maybe through the mountains or forests, throw a picnic into the mix, maybe some ice cream and you have yourself a fun day.
Sometimes all that matters is finding a quite space, maybe the woods from where you can listen the birds and crickets sing, and watch the stars in the night, unobstructed by city life.
Swimming can be a different activity to indulge in, be it enjoying the competitiveness of it or having fun with a close group of friends with which one can mingle freely and enjoy water activities. It all depends on both of your expectations for the day.
If you are lucky enough to live within convenient distance of necessary establishments, nature walks can be both entertaining and an educational experience, depending on your perspectives and interests. Again the infusion of food can make all the difference, just not something that will cause a mess in the long run.
Then there is the sports angle, which isn't necessarily the same as swimming or surfing, but making an actual effort to take part in a competitive sport for the sake of winning but during which fun and bonding is possible. Basketball is one of the most popular options, though the likes of golf and tennis are equally advisable. Though I guess one has to have some predilection for sports; but one of you can make concessions to indulge the other, whichever of you is less capable in the sports arena.

I don't agree. I think that the fact that these things are finally being discussed prove that it's a more open climate.Originally Posted by Spun Silver
According to an interview with Angela Lansbury whom every loves, she has to pay a high insurance premium on her life because she is a celebrity. Now no one has it in for Ms Lansbury but the insurance company insists there's always someone out to get a celebrity for whatever reasons.
I still consider Johnny's worry about death threats a little bit over the top. If someone was going to kill him, they wouldn't warn him first. Think Monica Seles.
I also don't think this has any gay overtones.
You remember correctly. It was Champion series final in France.Originally Posted by floskate
I believe Johnny, like many celebrities or athletes, recieves hate mail. But he's not a household name. So I'm inclined to agree with those that think that the threats are not from casual viewers of figure skating that just watch during the Olympics and are anti-gay. I think it's coming from within skating echelons. Just a guess on my part.
And I was skeptical at first. Johnny is so open about the minutiae of his life and revels in his candor, that it doesn't make sense for him to mention it in a random interview. But then, it makes no no sense for him to exaggerate it.
Remember, reporters can spin/write an article any way they want to. Possibly the reporter asked Johnny one of those lovely questions like "How did you feel about losing the gold for America?" and Johnny mentioned the death threats, and the reporter took it and ran with it.
Similarly, maybe s/he asked Johnny if his parents' number was listed.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – US President Barack Obama's surprise visit to Afghanistan 1 May has focused world attention on the country itself, but a two-day conference 2-3 May in Geneva is looking at the ramifications of 30 years of war in Afghanistan for refugees in two neighbouring countries. Some 40 international organizations and representatives from 60 countries are attending the conference, where host UNHCR (UN refugee organization) and Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran are unveiling their plans for "a joint strategy to find lasting, coherent and unified solutions to the problem of Afghan refugees and internally displaced persons", according to Didier Burkhalter, head of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), who opened the conference Wednesday.
"Participants will be asked to support programmes in Afghanistan to increase the sustainability of refugee returns. The new strategy also seeks the commitment of the international community to support the host countries of the Afghan refugees. This is the first joint action with humanitarian and development actors and will contribute to the stability of the region," says Bern in a statement.

SOME players don't like the big stage. They find the spotlight too intimidating, too confronting. Then every so often, along come a few who can't get enough of it.
It's been a while since Australia has produced a player like this, but in Tom Rogic that time might be now. His coach at club level, Graham Arnold, reckoned his eyes lit up when he walked into the dressing room before Central Coast's match against Sydney FC in front of a capacity crowd at Bluetongue Stadium on November 3.
Rogic crushed Sydney so spectacularly that it seemed almost inevitable he would be in the national team sooner rather than later. Well, here he is, having already made an impressive debut against Korea earlier this month. He looks so comfortable in an Australian shirt that you can't help but feel he's destined for some memorable moments.
''When I look in the mirror, I still look the same,'' he jokes. ''Of course, everyone likes to play in the big games, the important ones. We had a big crowd there that night [against Sydney] and it made the game that little bit more important and, I guess, that little bit more significant. But I don't think I'm anyone different in that regard.''
The off-field persona contrasts starkly with the on-field confidence. With the World Cup barely 18 months away, the prospect of Rogic going to Brazil is tantalising, even if coach Holger Osieck is trying to hose down expectations.
Yet even Osieck couldn't resist calling Rogic into this week's training camp ahead of next month's East Asian Cup qualifiers in Hong Kong.
Rogic, 19, says no one gets a big head at the Mariners.
''I definitely get that vibe from the environment I'm in. I think it would be hard to get ahead of yourself with the players that are in the squad and the culture of the club,'' he said. ''It's how everyone carries themselves day to day, in training - that goes for on and off the pitch. We all live pretty close together there in Terrigal and it's a good bunch of lads.''
Out of contract in just a few months, the obvious question is whether Rogic will stay at the Central Coast or seek a move elsewhere. His profile has exploded to such a point that he could possibly command a marquee position at another A-League club or a deal overseas.
But time is on his side. He's in no mood to follow the likes of Rostyn Griffiths, Matt Simon and Mile Jedinak, who all departed Central Coast mid-season in recent years, and is at least committed until the end of the year.
''Who knows - we're only eight games into the season,'' he said. ''To be thinking about or planning what's going to happen after this season is getting ahead of myself a bit. I've still got a lot of things to get through before I start thinking about what my options are or where they might be.''
Though young players are notorious for suffering from the second-year syndrome, Rogic has his fingers crossed it won't affect him.
''Generally you tend to find the second season is the harder one for a young player but I'm quite happy with how I've gone to date,'' he said. ''I think I've had a bit of an impact and been able to help the side in some of our games so far. I think we have done tremendously well together.''
■Melbourne Heart's Aziz Behich feels he is ready to make the step to being Australia's top left-back despite having only taken to the role last year.
''That's my position now and while there's other players around and some competition, my goal is to get my chance again and to show I can play in that position,'' he said.
Like Rogic, Behich made his debut against Korea and hopes to be included the squad bound for Hong Kong next week.
''I think the more experienced you get at that level, the more comfortable you get,'' he said.

Blocking our ads means your killing our stats! Please disable your ad-block, or become a premium member to hide all advertisements and this notice. I've had this knocking around for a while - I've edited it a bit and posted it in response to an earlier thread about WEP/WPA and MAC filtering. Let me know if you think its useful - or if you want to discuss any aspect of it. Bear in mind that this is pretty old, and written for an audience already familiar with the basics of WLAN 'auditing' +-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+-_-+ So - you've enabled MAC address filtering on your WLAN. You sit back smugly, safe in the knowledge that only those MAC addresses you specify will be able to connect to your shiny new WAP - and figure that you probably don't even need to bother with encryption right? Wrong! It is so trivial to spoof a MAC address that a wardriver can do it within thirty seconds of finding your AP. In order to carry out this cunning little bit of subterfuge, your would-be hacker only has to sniff a few packets passing to your AP, looking for a conversation between an authenticated client and the AP itself - and for the 'hacker-in-a-hurry' there is even a method to speed this process up. So - first things first. You need to find an AP to try this out on. DISCLAIMER - Do NOT do this on an AP which doesn't belong to you or, if trying it out 'on the job' - make sure you have the requisite authorisation from the peeps in your organisation who matter! Its no good pleading ignorance after the fact - your employer/neighbour will NOT be impressed if you try this sort of thing without them being aware of it. OK - with the warning out of the way, lets see how to go about finding an AP. There are several methods available to you. Lets cover the easiest here. Simply download NetStumbler and, once installed, open it up. It will immediately start searching your locale for Access Points that are present. It might be easiest, just for demonstration purposes, for you to sit your laptop down near an AP which you know is on, so that you don't end up spending ages looking for one! Once you've found your Access Point, take a note of the MAC address - this will come in handy later. You now have your target AP recced out. Its time to go about grabbing hold of a MAC address that can get you past the sneaky MAC filtering that has been turned on... What you'll need to accomplish the task is a WLAN network analyser - my tool of choice for this is Airocrack - a tool freely available as part of the peerless Linux SLAX-based distro Backtrack There are other tools available, some free, some not. AiroPeek, for instance, from Wild Packets, is a commercial tool (and not a particularly cheap one), whilst Ethereal (now named Wireshark) is a free sniffer, which has the advantage of having a Windows-compatible version - but it can be notoriously difficult to configure for some WNICs. Whichever sniffer you choose, once you have it fired up, you need to sniff traffic being sent to a target client from the AP. (recall from earlier that you should have taken a note of the MAC address of the AP from your stumbling). What you're looking for here first of all is a client sending a probe to the broadcast MAC address (which is always FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF). The AP listens for broadcasts from clients looking to authenticate to it and, once one has been received, it sends out a probe response to the client that made the broadcast. The snag is - it will only ever send a probe request to one of the MAC addresses that is authorised to access the AP. Since you know the AP's MAC address, all you need to do is wait for a client to request authentication to the AP and - hey presto - you have a MAC address which you can later spoof to gain access. Once you have a MAC address which can be used to connect to the AP, spoofing your MAC address to match is a trivial matter. You can often even achieve this simply by editing the network connection properties (open up your NIC properties, go to Configure, then Advanced if there is an entry in there called Network Address you will be able to enter your new MAC address in the box provided. If you choose this approach, bear in mind you should enter your MAC address only as the 12 digits eliminate the colons as this will cause Windows to throw a hissy fit. If your WNIC doesnt support this (and many dont), you can achieve the same objective by using a third party tool there are loads out there that will do the job. One such tool is SMAC (I believe its freeware but youll need to check), which has a nice GUI and is very simple to use. Finally, if youre familiar with the registry, you can edit the properties of your WNIC in the following key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} As you can see from the screenshot above, there will be a number of registry entries with the same name you will need to have a peek through them all to find one that deals with the network cards registered to your system. Once youve located it, look through the individual entries for each network card until you find the one matching your WNIC. It shouldnt be difficult to ascertain which one is your wireless card usually the name of the cards manufacturer is provided under the DriverDesc entry. In order to change your MAC address, simply right click in the right hand pane, enter a new String value. Ensure you name your new string NetworkAddress. Once done, double-click this new entry and enter the MAC address you wish to spoof (omitting the colons). There you go you now have a valid MAC address to use to gain access to the WLAN you are attacking. Of course, it might be some time before you can capture the authentication request necessary to divulge a valid MAC address, if there are no clients authenticating, or if there are clients around but they are already connected, they may not send an authentication request for some time. What you need is a way to con the clients into authenticating to the AP at a time that is convenient for you. This can be achieved through use of a simple DOS technique Ill show you how to do that in a later tutorial. What the above should give you is a very good understanding of why enabling MAC filtering is not a valid method of security for your WLAN.

UN peacekeepers attack militias in DR Congo
The UN peacekeeping force in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (known as MONUC) have attacked militiamen in the northeast of the country. The attack follows the killing of nine Bangladeshi peacekeepers in the area last week. MONUC denied that the attack was in revenge for the killing of the peacekeepers though some local critics have been calling, to no avail, for stronger UN action for a while.
In a related story, the interim central goverment reportedly arrested several leaders of the militia group accused of killing the Bangladeshis. It's unclear how militia leaders based in Kinshasa could be responsible for killing peacekeepers in Ituri, which is several thousand miles away.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court next week will consider for the first time whether states may enforce laws that make it a crime to knowingly publish false statements about political candidates.
The justices will hear an anti-abortion group's free-speech challenge to an Ohio law that was invoked in 2010 by then-Rep. Steve Driehaus, a Democrat. He had voted for President Barack Obama's health care law and was facing a tough race for re-election.
The anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List launched a campaign to unseat Driehaus, preparing to run billboard ads saying, "Shame on Steve Driehaus! Driehaus voted for taxpayer-funded abortion."
The statement was false, Driehaus said, since under the law no federal funds can be spent to pay for abortions. He threatened to sue the billboard company, which decided against running the ad. Then he complained to the Ohio Elections Commission, which found "probable cause" that the statement was false.
Before a hearing could be convened before the full commission, Driehaus lost his re-election bid and withdrew his complaint.
But the anti-abortion group pressed ahead and is urging the Supreme Court to clear the way for a constitutional attack on the Ohio law as well as similar measures in 15 other states.
The justices are not expected to rule on the First Amendment issue at this time. Instead, justices are being asked to decide whether these laws can be challenged as unconstitutional even if no one is successfully prosecuted.
The case has prompted a lively debate over whether the law can separate truth from lies in election campaigns.
Washington attorney Michael Carvin, representing the anti-abortion group, said the First Amendment protects broad free speech during political campaigns and frowns on interference from the government. He calls the Ohio measure a "speech suppressive" law that "inserts state bureaucrats and judges into political debates and charges them with separating truth from oft-alleged 'lies.' "
He said the state commission receives several dozen complaints each year and warned that the law gives government bureaucrats the power to sway a close race simply by saying a complaint has merit.
The Ohio law says violators can be prosecuted and punished by up to six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. But Carvin and other election-law experts say they are not aware of any successful prosecutions.
He told the court that 15 other states have similar laws. They are Minnesota, Wisconsin, Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia.
He said these laws were "almost certainly unconstitutional." Two years ago, the high court threw out the conviction of a Southern California man, Xavier Alvarez, who falsely claimed to have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. In a 6-3 ruling, the court said the prosecution violated the First Amendment, a decision that was largely overlooked because it was handed down on the same day Obama's health care law was upheld.
Health care law experts say the debate over the Affordable Care Act has been hampered by many false and misleading claims, including the contention that it will fund abortions.
"That is not a true statement," said Timothy Jost, a law professor at the Washington and Lee University in Virginia. "I hope the Supreme Court will not say that free speech protects your right to lie. At some point, you should not able to consciously lie about your opponent."
Since 1976, the Hyde Amendment has prohibited using federal funds to pay for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is in danger.

False doctrine
Selfish and out of touch with reality!
That is how the gay, lesbian and transgender community here this afternoon described the churches that organized Sunday night's Barbados Religious Rally on protecting the traditional family.
Speaking on the theme, Family, Faith and Freedom, one of the main speakers at Sunday's event, American research professor Dr Judith Reisman, warned Government to be aware of homosexual influences on the society and the educational system.
Reisman charged that the new comprehensive sex education programme being taught in American schools, if implemented here, would lead to drug and alcohol abuse, and a number of other ills, including higher rates of sexuality transmitted diseases, because children were being introduced to sexual perversions in order to turn them into little sexual deviants.
But in a stinging response Tuesday afternoon, head of Barbados Gays and Lesbians Against Discrimination (B-GLAD) Donnya Piggott stopped just short of describing the religious leaders as hypocrites.
Piggott said the time spent at the rally could have been better spent on a campaign against gun violence, child abuse and chronic water outages.
"I thought that the Church was completely out of touch with the people. And if you want to talk about an agenda, that in itself is an agenda. You [are] talking about the moral and social fabric of a society and a country and you completely ignore that gun violence has been on the rise in Barbados and people are not safe in their communities any more," Piggott said.
The B-GLAD spokesperson scoffed at the churches for staging "a whole rally with tonnes of people coming out to talk about same sex marriages and same sex unions", at a time when the social and moral fabric of Barbados was being challenged by violence and the sexual abuse of young people.
"The efforts could have gone more towards talking about love and peace. When you talking about the 50th anniversary of Barbados [Independence], you want to get the country together to talk about these things. Even last week, there were about three murders or so . . . and I thought it was completely out of touch and selfish," Piggott emphasized.
She questioned whether the Church could lay claim to being a caring institution when it had failed to speak on behalf of the people who were being forced to endure lengthy periods of water outages "in as aggressive a manner as was shown through the staging of the rally".
The gay, lesbian and transgender activist also challenged the religious leaders behind Sunday's rally to organize a march in support of consumers in water-starved communities, especially those who could not afford to pay their bills.
13 Responses to False doctrine
the church and "you people" are no different.
If she is so concerned about the people who are facing water shortages why doesn't she organise the rally and march and show the way? That way you could try to "win" people over to your side since clearly is becoming an issue of late.
BGLAD you people do not understand the ramifications of your lifestyle to personal and wider society, though facts are being published and having thousands of examples ( just look at America even in your own country) that you people can draw from to see the destruction of family life still you continue to hold on to your lifestyle as you people only think of me, myself and I
And I am not even mentioning what God have to say on the matter, if only you people can see yourself in a mirror. I pray your eyes will be open that you can receive the whole Truth
The TRUE doctrine is recorded in Romans chapter 1 whole chapter, it is u guys that change the truth of God into a lie, THAT IS THE FALSE DOCTRINE, YOU SHOULD RENAME YOURSELF B-SORRY THERE IS NOTHING GLAD ABOUT YOUR LIFESTYLE
You don't want a man but would dress like a man and still have the role of a man in these relationships. Scratching my head
The Bible speak is all these things happening
As a Christian we stand by the stander of God man and women no other, you have freedom to express and walk around as you like in the society where is the freedom of religion to come together as a people and share our views and concerns. In connection with our country it is a Bajan concern not a group or any particular person. A mature person would understand these facts. So you may change man views on sexuality but God never change so I don't know why it such a fuss for this group to want the church change God word stand. God bless you
Look, you have the right to be gay, to be who and how ever you choose, however it is also the right of every other person to choose rather to accept you or not. why not go live with who accept and forget who don't? what i see here is one set of persons trying to force their lifestyle down another set throats. i am not saying any one lifestyle is right or wrong, what the hell do i know. i am saying if someone don't like who or what you stand for or do, remember as it's your right to be it's theirs not to like , accept or want to be a part. lastly i am glad to be here and i am here due to male -female relations
Why are people so obsessed with a person's sexual preference.?
I am sure there are more important things which contribute to
the decay of the traditional family.
Dr Judith Reisman was speaking at a Barbados Religious Rally.
She should have stayed away from the topic of Homosexuality
given the history of the church in relation to this subject.
God made man and woman,not man and man,or woman and woman as a fsmily. A man and a man Kant have babys.amd women with women also.
This particular "expert" is a nutjob. And this event seemed to be a thinly disguised anti-gay rally.
Whatever happened to love one another? As in "Love the sin, hate the sin. Forgive everyone and leave it to God to judge…"
Here is a sample of Dr. Reisman's teachings and bio…
Ostracized by mainstream academia, within 10 years, Reisman had found a more receptive audience for her ideas. At a May, 1994 conference of Christian right leadership in Colorado Springs described by the Washington Times as "top secret," Reisman introduced her theory of a proselytizing homosexual movement. "I would suggest to you," she told the conference, "that while the homosexual population may right now be one to two percent, hold your breath, people, because the recruitment is loud; it is clear; it is everywhere. You'll be seeing, I would say, 20 percent or more, probably 30 percent, or even more than that, of the young population will be moving into homosexual activity." The notion of a surreptitious homosexual recruitment campaign is now casually advanced by conservative Christian leaders as they rally for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
The Comprehensive Sex Education in the USA has not destroyed families. It has finally done what Evangelical Abstinence Only Education could not. It has REDUCED teen pregnancy. It has REDUCED abortions. The evidence speaks for itself.
Reisman is a QUACK and she is not respected by academic experts on these issues in her own country. She has to come to a third world nation with less educated people to sell her nonsense.
The greatest threat to the family are heterosexual men and THEIR violence, irresponsibility and infidelity and abuse. It is heterosexual male and heterosexual female issues that need to be addressed. The mistreatment of women and the mercenary relationships between men and women.
The greatest threat to the family is the economy failing the working and middle class and them working more and more for less money and having less time to spend parenting and building their relationships.
I wouldn't expect anything different from Ms. Piggott. The church may be out of touch with your reality but not Jesus' when it comes to homosexuality. It's expected that you would try to cast the attention on other issues. What you and your kind advocate is not supported by Jesus and you know it. Then again obviously you don't care.

We've been doing Elvis weddings (as well as the traditional ones) at Viva Las Vegas Weddings for nearly 20 years now, so we already know we'll see a few "Priscillas" and "Elvi" standing at the altar on that iconic date. (We do rent the costumes and wigs, if you want to dress up! Or, bring your own!) For die-hard Elvis fans, sharing an anniversary with Priscilla and The King makes choosing a wedding date pretty easy. The day falls on a Monday this year, and while it may be hard for guests to make it to Vegas on a weekday, we DO have live streaming internet service so they can watch back home….even from work! Plus, you'll find honeymoon hotel rooms at bargain rates since it's not a weekend.
If you're wearing traditional wedding clothes, consider adding a "Priscilla" impersonator as matron of honor. It's also a fun and wacky way to celebrate for a wedding vow renewal, if the two of YOU have an anniversary coming up. Be sure to request golden ribbon on your bouquet and boutonniere to signify the 50th anniversary! (Let us know when you're choosing your flowers, included in every wedding package.)
Our Elvis weddings can be performed in either an elegant traditional style with a licensed minister to officiate, with Elvis singing a romantic ballad during the vows, or with Elvis performing the ceremony himself. See all of our various packages on our website or customize your own version! Our most popular Elvis weddings are the Elvis Blue Hawaii—with theatrical fog, a hula dancer and three unforgettable songs–and the Elvis Pink Caddy where Elvis drives your right down the aisle and into the chapel in his vintage convertible.
We thought we'd inspire you with a clip of Elvis and Pricilla's wedding day:

Just a quick email to the group to explain that Arjuna Technologies is dropping out of WS-Addressing, but JBoss is stepping in - JBoss just acquired a substantial portion of Arjuna, including myself. With any luck, this will mean more active support, including in the forthcoming interoperability event in January. Mark.Received on Friday, 9 December 2005 12:18:29 UTC

It's my winter garden. Cyclamens are blooming only in winter, they dry to death every spring and it's hard to believe that they will return next season. But they do.
a bit of everything
Probably I uploaded too many, but I really enjoy them. And they enjoy the winter. The winter is especially cold and windy this year (2012). You should see how happy they are!
one more of my winter garden. Flowers in good mood - it's cold, very cold (well, relatively, for Mediterranean winter)
They are happy. Can you see this?

Clinical Trial Looks At Benefits of Vitamin D on Diabetes
A clinical trial is currently underway in order to determine if vitamin D impacts insulin secretion. The study is known as the D2d study and will include roughly 2,500 people. The participants will be asked to take a pill everyday for the next 3 years. Some of the participants will have actual vitamin D pills while other participants will receive placebo pills. The participants will not be made aware as to which pills are actually vitamin D pills.
The researchers will then make a comparison of the two groups in order to determine if the vitamin D pills actually help to slow the progression toward developing diabetes. The leader of the study is Dr. Vanita Aroda, Physician Investigator and Scientific Director of MedStar Community Research Clinical Research Center at MedStar Health Research Institute. The study is currently looking for enrollees in Hyattsville, Maryland.
The study will take place at roughly 20 different study sites across the country. The researchers hope that the vitamin D study will demonstrate that vitamin D has the effects required to stimulate the pancreas in order to induce insulin secretion.

With his new single "Berzerk" set to become the official song of ESPN's Saturday Night Football, Eminem took a moment in last night's broadcast to premiere a teaser for the song's video. Following along with the track's old-school sound, the clip features a giant boombox and VHS blue screen, as well as appearances from producer Rick Rubin, Kendrick Lamar and Slaughterhouse.
Where Does Eminem Rank on Our List of 100 Greatest Artists?
The halftime segment also included an awkward interview with the rapper, during which he jokingly appeared out of sorts. "Live TV freaks me out a little bit," he said to ESPN's Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit at the outset. Asked what he was most excited about by the new album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which is due out on November 5th, he replied, "Nothing." After a few moments, he elaborated: "I'll probably be most excited to be done with it. . . . It's kind of a revisit to the first Marshall Mathers LP. And that's pretty much all I can probably say about it."

Don't make my mistake regarding PS3
I have biases I didn't really know I had. I'm a long time audiophile, living in the world of transports and DACs. I really didn't even give the PS3 gaming system any thought as a home theater component. It's shaped like a UFO, is made largely of plastic and it's a gaming system for goodness sake. All this in spite of the fact that I have read review after review praising it's Blu-ray playback.
Well, this weekend was a slap in the face. I purchased the 40GB model this week. I "justified" it as something for my 11 year old, but it sits in my home theater (as apposed to her room). I even bought a few games. What a dad. Truth be told, the Home Theater review of it as a Blu-ray player pushed me into curiosity mode. And you all know what happens after that. By the way, does the EA in "EA Sports" stand for "Electronics Anonymous"? Better yet, a theraputic device.
I'm on my third Blu-ray player (now my fourth). I've had the Sony BDP-S300 (gave it to a firiend), Pansonic DMP-PD30 (now in my bedroom) and finally the Denon DVD-BD2500BTCI. Well, the PS3 bests them all. The picture is very slightly better than Denon and the audio (thanks to the DTS master firmware upgrade) is great. Plus its 2.0 compliant and has fastest load times by far. While standalone player models come and go, trying to keep up with new features and specs, the PS3 (with the exception of bit stream DTS-MA support) keeps pace with firmware upgrades.
I wish I would have considered the PS3 a viable option for Blu-ray playback a long time ago. It sure would have saved me a ton of money.
Re: Don't make my mistake regarding PS3
My findings are completely different.
I A-B the PS3 (I have the 80G model) to my Sony BDP-S1 and Samsung BDP-1200 and both had markedly better picture, with clearly superior edge detail and color, bass was also significantly better on the stand alones, though I was suing an older toslink cable vs the coaxial for the stand alone players. All video was done with identical HDMI cables and tests were done with two copies of the same disc (Spiderman 3, which the copies were switched between players to assure that both discs were of equal quality)
I think I am going to get one of the Denon transports here soon so I'll re-do my tests once it comes in.
Re: Don't make my mistake regarding PS3
Are you, or anyone else @ AVREV, going to to review it?
Re: Don't make my mistake regarding PS3
I have been very happy with my PS3 as a Blu-Ray player, it's a very good first player.
Fast load times, easy to update & it's never once failed to play a movie.
Add to that it's so far the most future proof player on the market & gets regular updates & additional functionality & I have to say it was worth the $599 I paid for it!
While I have been happy with it's picture & audio quality I have seen standalones with better audio & video quality.
I will be getting a standalone soon enough but the PS3 was a great starting point!
Re: Don't make my mistake regarding PS3
Re: Don't make my mistake regarding PS3
I have a PS3, a Toshiba A35, and Pioneer elite DV59. Even on regular DVD the PS3 and A35 was better than the Pioneer elite DV59. However, the DV59 is a nearly 4 year old player so it's not a fair comparison. On regular DVD, the A35 is better than the PS3. Better flesh tone and more detail. The colours on the PS3 was somewhat too exaggerated.

Salida Hot Springs Pool History
A 1937 Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) project constructed springs collection boxes, collection lines, a junction box, and a five mile underground hot water transmission line to the Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center. The pool and building were constructed as part of the same WPA project. During the depths of the Great Depression, some 200 men found work digging the pipeline and constructing the building essentially by hand. It cost $160,000 to install the line and build the concrete pool building. In 1941 the City purchased 145 acres of land at the hot springs source and water rights from J. Carter and A.T. Hartwich for $40,000.
The natural hot springs rise in two groups, called the north and south springs, at an elevation of 7,900 to 8,000 feet. Therefore, delivery of the hot springs water to the pool by gravity is practical.
Although the City owned the facility, it never was a profitable enterprise, so the city entertained offers to buy or lease the property and water rights. In 1958, Marion Chelf and Max L. Sauder attempted to put together an investment group to lease the property and water.
In 1968 Elmo Bevington, an Omaha based beer distributor, attempted to buy the rights and pool property for $100,000. The proposal failed however, when Bill Rush, a prominent Salida Attorney, led a fight against the sale.
In February 1975 a natural gas leak in a pipe joint near what is now the Chamber of Commerce building crept back into the pool building. An electric pump led to an explosion in the building, closed at that time of night, destroying newly refurbished decking and pool walls. In November 1975, city voters defeated a $450,000 bond the rebuild the pool.
In April 1976, using about $100,000 in insurance money, the city council approved $153,000 to rebuild the facility and in the process removed the damaged roof. The pool reopened that summer, but had to close during cold weather as the hot water caused too much steam around the pool limiting visibility.
In November 1979 city voters approved by a 2 to 1 margin a $280,000 bond issue to replace the roof, revamp the hot baths, rebuild the entryway and dressing room access, and add a new wading pool and whirlpool. The whirlpool was cut when funds ran out on the project.
In 1993 Salida citizens passed a bond issue directing the City of Salida to help finance replacing the collection system and improvements to pool plumbing.
In 2000, the original 5 mile hot water transmission line was to be replaced because of constrictions, leaks, and breaks in the 62 year old line.
From 1996-2003 a new line, in a new location, was constructed. This multi-phased project cost 2 million dollars. The new line began operation in August of 2002. The water temperature never reached the previous level due to the effect of high ground water and a river crossing in the path of the new line resulting in a significant loss of heat in the new line.
In 2003 The City of Salida sued the engineering firm that had done the design and construction oversight for the new line. In December 2006 a $325,000 settlement was reached with the firm, McLaughlin Engineering.
In May of 2001 a large snowstorm dumped 5 feet of snow causing the roof of the pool building to collapse. The city recovered one million in insurance funds and spent another million updating the deck and gutter, replacing plumbing, adding an HVAC system, and play pool.
In 2009 the changing rooms were repaired and updated, while a Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) grant was secured to do water line remediation. This grant supplied $448,000 while insurance money and city funds from the occupational tax made up the remainder of the $880,000 project. The water line remediation project was completed in May of 2010, and hot water began to flow into the pool 7 to 15 degrees warmer topping out at 115°! Cool water is now introduced to keep the water at safe and enjoyable levels.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – While the Pacers are away in Orlando, sequins and chiffon took over the floor of Bankers Life Fieldhouse as almost 500 high school girls were on the hunt for the perfect prom dress.
It's part of a prom dress giveaway orchestrated by Pacers forward David West's wife, Lesley.
"Prom was a very important time in my life when I was younger," said Lesley. "It was something we looked forward to all year long. It can be anywhere from $500 to $1,000 for these people, and they literally cannot afford it."
That's where Lesley comes in. She collects dress donations from around the area throughout the year. The Wests, along with others in the Pacers organization, also buy some gowns to meet the demand. While this is the second year of the Prom Dress Drive in Indianapolis, West has been putting it on for more than a decade in New Orleans while David was with the Pacers.
"It's confidence boosting," said Lesley. "It's more than just coming to get a dress. These girls come in here, and they feel better about themselves. They feel beautiful."
"They always have perfect dresses," said Mayra Llamas, a senior at George Washington Community High School. "It's a great opportunity because a lot of people don't really get this, and if you take advantage of this, it's just really helping you out."
In addition to the dress, the girls came away with goodie bags along with hair and makeup tips. Lesley also hopes they leave with a desire to give back as well.
"When you're finished with that dress, think about who else you can bless with it," said Lesley. "Maybe someone out of these 500 people, they don't have to have an event like this, but if they give their dress to one other person, it keeps it going."

I am happy
you found my web site. My name is Fresa but most people call me Fresita.
Fresa is Spanish for strawberry and Fresita means a small strawberry.
I was born
on May 1st, 2005 in a little town called Sabanilla in the foothills
overlooking the central valley of San José, Costa Rica. The mountains
are very cold at night.
One day a man called the lady who was
taking care of me looking for a companion. We went with my two sisters
to visit him. He was a funny looking man.
Most humans do not talk
like a dog but use funny sounds. He sounded more strange than the other

San José, Costa Rica

He played with us on the floor. He acted
nice. This little girl was very afraid. I tried to be brave and gave him
a couple of little kisses. He smelled a little strange but humans like
it when you kiss them. Being a good Tica, (a girl in my country) I tried
to be polite and a friendly girl.
I made a mess on the floor because this
girl was nervous. He was not angry. That was good. Well, suddenly he
held me in his arms and the lady went away with my sisters. This little
girl has been here in his house since then. I hope you enjoy my web
site. You can see more of me in the picture galleries.

Title : Noise Survey for Addition of T-37 Aircraft at Mather AFB, California.
Descriptive Note : Final rept.,
Corporate Author : ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH LAB MCCLELLAN AFB CALIF
Personal Author(s) : Burnett,Ronald D ; Sweigart,Marlin L ; Guy,Harry P
Report Date : Jun 1974
Pagination or Media Count : 19
Abstract : Noise levels generated by T-37 aircraft were measured at Mather AFB CA while simulating various ground operations and during a flyover. These data were collected to assist in the evaluation of the impact of a proposed T-37 mission on base activities. Noise was recorded inside and outside selected buildings on base which were thought to be affected by these operations. Maximum levels encountered at each building are presented. Measured noise levels indicate little or no impact on base activities from noise generated during operation of T-37 aircraft. Where appropriate, recommendations for minimizing noise and suggestions for additional evaluations are made.

This is the reason why producers are always looking for good scripts. Many producers have readers working for them, evaluating stacks upon stacks of scripts looking for something exceptional. When a producer finds a script they believe is exciting and original that will appeal to cast, crew and an audience they begin the process of pitching it to potential attachments. First, however, it must survive certain practical logistical tests that we will refer to as "viability testing" which we will discuss in our next article.
So the role of the producer is to find a strong script that they believe they can sell to actors, director, investors, distributors and crew. Finding a script may be the most important part but a producer does not deserve the title unless they can bring all these elements together and shepherd the project through to a successful completion.
The word "successful" is important here. The producer needs to have a strategic vision for the project and know what they want to accomplish with before they begin. The next article discusses the tactical considerations of the producer as he or she moves into pre-production. What we need is a strategic vision that goes beyond just getting the movie shot.
No one else on the project has this perspective. When the movie is completed, what is going to happen to it? We will address this strategic vision in our last lesson but the producer must have an idea of what success looks like in the final, distribution phase of the project before they even say "yes" to make the movie.
Ultimately, this is the most important decision the producer will make. Project selection is critical and there should be a lot of scripts to which you say "no". If you say "yes", you will be judged as a producer by how successful you are at getting the project made and whether or not it does anything when it is completed.

Conservatism has had from its inception vigorously positive, intellectually rigorous agenda and thinking. That agenda should have, mind you, three pillars: strength in the economy, strength in our security and strength in our families.
We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers. Conservatives believe in providing constitutional rights to our citizens, not to enemy combatants like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Not on our watch. A conversation with a would-be suicide bomber will not begin with the words, "You have the right to remain silent."
Our party can never be a rubber stamp for rubber-stamp spending. But before we move away from this "No" epithet that the Democrats are fond of trying to apply to us, let's ask the Obama folks why they say no: no to a balanced budget, no to reforming entitlements, no to malpractice reform, no to missile defense in eastern Europe, no to tax cuts. You see, we conservatives don't have a corner on saying no. We're just the ones who say it when it's the right thing to say.
