Mouton Cadet is a love story between fine Bordeaux wines and the Rothschild family that goes back over 80 years. In 1924, when he was only 22, Baron Philippe de Rothschild took the helm of Château Mouton Rothschild, and brought aninnovative cast of mind to the business. In 1930 Baron Philippe had the idea of creating a younger brother for Mouton Rothschild, using grapes grown on the same terroir. As the younger son (cadet) in his own family, he named the wine Mouton Cadet, and the brand was born.
In order to ensure constant quality, Mouton Cadet had to be sourced from neighboring vineyards in Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe where the same strict selection is applied. As its reputation grew, Mouton Cadet continued to seek the best grapes, extending its supply source to other Bordeaux vineyards.
Thanks to the richness of its terroirs, Mouton Cadet became the first branded wine in the world to be awarded the AOC Bordeaux distinction. Mouton Cadet's reputation has spread steadily since the Second World War, consolidating its fame and prestige.
Sold in 150 countries around the world, Mouton Cadet has been associated since its creation with exclusive and prestigious events, including the Cannes International Film Festival, where it has been Official Supplier since 1992. Mouton Cadet is now involved in golf as Official Supplier to the European Tour and to The Ryder Cup as well as in sailing since 2016 with the 35th America's Cup.

D'ya know what? I swear that I've been walking around asleep or something ~ha, I say that as though functioning day to day in a zombie like state is a new thing for me~ because I feel as though I've blinked, and BAM- as quick as you like, it's September.
...I'm basically not over that we're over half way through the year really!
And surprise, surprise this year has yet again seen no let up so far when it comes to my health, in fact I feel as though each year that passes I just feel even worse, meaning that the frustration simply builds up, and up as the months pass by. <award for the most cheerful paragraph right there, I know!
On a slightly cheerier note I have somehow managed to turn blogging/taking photos for companies freelance (my dream career) into my full time job this year, which means that I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing, big brands. I do love being able to do something that I'm incredibly passionate about each and every day, I mean I haven't a clue how the heck I've managed it because bloody hell it wasn't easy, but hey.
I've also visited my all time favourite island in Gran-Canaria again, which was complete and utter bliss. But between the better moments, there's obviously been some really tough times so I feel as though I've spent more time feeling deflated, rather than happy this year. Which obviously = some serious life lessons learnt- and me being me, I thought that I'd share just what life has taught me so far this year... (cos' sharing is caring and all that)
1.) Never ever compare your own life to those the same age as yourself
Throughout the entirety of last year, I made the age old mistake of comparing my own life/achievements to those the same age as myself. Whether that be a quick facebook stalk, or a chat with a friend, I constantly felt inadequate, and if I'm being completely honest, a little sick each time yet another person my age achieved something that I still hadn't. I felt so so far behind compared to everybody else, as though I was living life wrong almost, and I've finally realised that life is not a race, and that everybody has 'their time'. Things will work out.
2.) The importance of new
So far, 2017 for me has been all about lots of new experiences. Obviously being self employed I have no work colleagues to keep me company; no after work drinks, girls to gossip with at lunch time, therefore I have to rely heavily on making friends with people who follow me online.
How many times as adults do we say to someone we don't know all that well 'you know what, I feel like we'd get on so well, do you want to go for cocktails/lunch?' - I'm guessing hardy ever? But that's exactly what I've been doing and I tell you now; it's taught me A LOT.
It's boosted my confidence massively, and I'm no longer as painfully shy, if I have to meet up for a work meeting I can do it like a breeze when I'd previously have struggled. So I'm all for taking time out to meet new people and experience new things to help me grow as a person nowadays.
Fun fact of the day: My friend Kara and I became close friends when she messaged me on instagram saying that she'd recognised me in Nando's, we got talking, and now we meet up regularly and act like BFF's- see, I told you that doing some new is good.
3.) No, THAT won't do
Carrying out things half heartedly, half assed is just not good enough. I've recently learnt that unless you go at something and give it your all, well then you might as well not bother. Mediocre effort simply won't do, or else what's the point? Things worth having don't come easy, so if you want something bad enough you've gotta put all of your efforts into it or else you're only letting yourself down.
4.) It's absolutely vital that you let your hair down from time to time
Letting your hair down, drinking, dancing and enjoying yourself is SO needed... Now I'm not saying 'girl, neck an entire bottle of wine, get really drunk and start dancing like you think you're Shakira' (totally guilty of that, not going to lie) I'm just saying, make time to have funnn. I think sometimes we can get too caught up in everyday life or we simply think 'I can't be bothered tonight' but it's so so important to let go and escape 'real life' for a while.
Drink fruity cocktails, dance like a div as though nobody is watching, laugh loudly, sing- life's too short to spend it constantly bored and stressed. And you don't even have to go out if that's not your thing, I'll do this on the regular in my own front room #livingmybestlife.
5.) It's okay not to be okay
Please just bloody share with people when something is wrong, don't bottle it up and pretend that you're okay, just to fake that you're fine when you really aren't. Invite a friend round, or have a girly day with your mum and then gossip, cry and laugh with wine and don't think you have to 'be strong' - share feelings as it always feels better, trust me.
6.) Self-belief and confidence is key
...And I'm probs going to get a text after my grandma has read this paragraph like 'Lauren, but you're the worlds worst for continually doubting yourself' and she'd be 100% right to do so because I really am the worst for this, which is why I'm starting to learn that I'm actually less productive and unlikely to achieve when I have this mindset, when I focus and tell myself that I can the difference in progress is HUGE.
7.) Lazy, self care days are vital to recharge batteries
And last but not least; it's impossible to pour from an empty cup, meaning that entire days spent watching films, eating good food and taking time to chill and reenergise are absolutely needed. Have a pamper night and get ready to tackle the week ahead with so much more motivation!
All in all, I guess that's not too bad going for the first half of the year, I'm thinking I'm going to buck my ideas up and cheer the hell up. I'm definitely aiming to make the final months more sociable, fun and carefree as what's happened has happened now!
Do you lot have any valuable life lessons to share? I'd love to hear them!

Sony's investment in network services begins to pay off.
Posted By Pramath | On 23rd, May. 2017 Under News | Follow This Author @Pramath1605
It looks like Sony's investment into building the services infrastructure for the PS4 is paying off. Speaking at Sony's Investor Relations Day 2017 in Tokyo, Sony Interactive Entertainment Deputy President Tsuyoshi Kodera explained Sony's strategy to grow the PS4 ecosystem, by investing in network services and infrastructure.
Doing so has twofold benefits for Sony- Sony gets to increase and retain engagement in the PlayStation ecosystem, and Sony also gets further opportunities for monetization and consequent revenue growth. Sony's plan to invest in the PlayStation eocsystem is to have the PS4 at the center, and the PSVR as an auxiliary vessel for growth, while also adding in other value services such as PlayStation Vue and PlayStation Now, and some services for the Asia specific region, where historically, PSN has performed worst.
And for now? All of Sony's effort is paying off. PSN has 70 million monthly average users, of which 26.4 million are paying PS Plus subscribers. Hardly a bad place for Sony to be in. It will be interesting to see how Sony continues to grow PSN in the coming years.

This world isn't as easy as this or that and therefore, no matter that the mind seeks to make it so.
The human ability to sort and group like items has served us well in creating language and culture, but at this point in our development it's time to move beyond the differences dividing us and look for the similarities making us whole.
From birth, we are labeled by gender and race, and these labels are the primary influence of what our experience of the world will be.
Boys and girls are dressed by hospitals in blue and pink caps respectively, and carried home by parents with gender appropriate dreams for their children's futures.
Labels such as "sissy" and "tomboy" attach to those who don't conform to the characteristics society has assigned to each gender.
Some babies are born into a world where the color of their skin alone opens doors, often blinding them to advantages given as a birthright.
Others come into a world where their skin color is a disadvantage – soon learning certain doors are closed to them and they're already behind in the pursuit of success.
Relatively mild racial labels such as "gringo", "colored" and "oriental" are used to characterize and dismiss groups of people we choose not to assess as individuals.
To function in the world's vast array of information, certain shorthand of thought is natural and necessary.
This is only a problem when we lose the flexibility to recognize and accept things that don't comply with the binary sorting to which we're accustomed.
The truth and beauty of humanity, which is yet inexpressible with language, is the infinite variation on the scale between one label and its opposite.
Even the labels that properly describe our physical beings cannot encompass, and therefore make transparent to strangers, our hopes and dreams, experiences and intentions.
People want to be understood and welcomed for their singular complexity, and every person to which we grant that gift increases the value of our own life experience.
Look to the world around us and change it by recognizing and dismantling the wall of labels we've built that perpetuate our own ignorance.

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – "Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare Marawi City liberated from the terrorist influence that marks the beginning of rehabilitation."
This was what President Rodrigo Duterte said when he made his 7th visit to Marawi City on Tuesday, October 17.
He declared the liberation of Marawi City from local armed groups whose leaders pledged allegiance to the international terrorist network Islamic State (ISIS).
AFP Spokesperson Brigadier General Restituto Padilla, however, said the war in Marawi continues. "It will continue until armed elements are dealt with. But terrorists no longer have complete control."
"There are still a few more that are left, and a few more hostages that are still in the area that remains to be a battle area. The declaration of the President hopefully gives way to the entry and start of rehabilitation, reconstruction, and rebuilding of Marawi from the ashes."
Padilla said the rebuilding of Marawi "needs to have the go signal of the President that's why the declaration has been made. But the fight for the remaining armed members that are still in the area continues and based on the ground commanders' testaments – it's most likely that the President was debriefed – that this is a matter of time, that will happen soon, and that there are no complications that will be seen or are seen at the moment, this is why the declaration has been made."
He added, "a greater part of Marawi" has been freed and liberated.
A day earlier, troops killed Isnilon Hapilon and Omar Maute – the top leaders behind the siege – and rescued 17 hostages.
The military fought a fierce war with the homegrown Maute Group and a faction of the Abu Sayyaf Group led by supposed ISIS emir Hapilon.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 India launch has finally taken place in New Delhi. This is the most expensive device from Samsung that comes with a price of Rs 58,300. It looks like Samsung is leaving no stone unturned to further cement its place in the Indian market.
The device was unveiled in Berlin last month during the IFA Electronics show. And we had earlier reported that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would get launched in India in October.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 India Launch
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that carries the price tag of slightly less than Rs. 60,000 happens to be the costliest device from the house of Samsung so far. However, a couple of other devices are priced at less than Rs. 40,000. They are the Note 3 (N900) and Samsung Galaxy 5S that cost Rs. 38,900 and Rs. 36,000 respectively.
Also Read: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Specifications Leaked
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 India launch at a price close to Rs. 60K shows the standard and the level of the confidence that Samsung shows in Indian customers. It also stands for the commitment that the Korean company has for the legendary product like the Samsung Galaxy.
Features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is one device of its kind as it brings along with it trendy design and power performance. The screen is large and makes good viewing experience. The device also comes with an S Pen.
The device promises productivity features so, the consumers always get the best out of their device. These were the thoughts of Asim Warsi, who is the Samsung India VP (Mobile and IT). He was speaking to journalists regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 India launch.
And Now is a Stiff Competition…
That's right. We are all in for some competitive fun in the Indian market. After the launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it is the turn of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 India launch. Now, there will be certainly some stiff and cutthroat competition between two leaders in handset devices that have been at loggerheads at various instances in the past.
Also Read: iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus: Which Suits You Best
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will become available for the consumers from October 17. And the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 India launch will add that pinch of salt to the war to dominate the Indian market.
The Galaxy Note 4 has a screen of 5.7 inches HD super AMOLED screen. As mentioned above, the screen makes a good viewing experience. The smooth screen also is soothing to the eyes.
RAM & Camera
The RAM in the device is 3GB. No wonder, it is powerful enough to make way for performing without any hiccups.
There is 16MP rear camera in the device. The front camera is 3.7MP capacity.
There is 32GB of internal storage in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. And yes, the storage capacity can be expanded. So, you can get more space with the Galaxy Note 4 device.
India already has domestic competitors like Karbonn and Micromax. So the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 India launch will have some more fierce competition. But one thing has to be admitted that these companies have given Samsung a run for their money.

Reveries on Ordering-Out
Although I considered myself fortunate, that I didn't have to not "press two for Spanish," my sensibilities were still assaulted by the sequence of events that transpired. There was nothing particularly unusual about the events - they're common enough in this medium-sized suburb of Boston with a population that is 10-15% non-White. They happen to me every time I order out, regardless of which restaurant I order from.
As soon as the foreign-sounding person on the phone answered, he shouted, "pick-up or delivery," in a version of English I could barely comprehend. I answered, "delivery." Because I'm a semi-regular customer, he already had my address and shouted it down the telephone-line for me to confirm. Which I did. He then mumbled the cost, first saying it was ten dollars and some amount of change that was inaudible and then quickly correcting himself by saying it was eight dollars and something (the change amount was again, incomprehensible), and told me it would be "about 30 minutes."
About 15 minutes later there was a knock on my door. I answered it, the delivery person of foreign origin stared at me, vaguely insolently, saying nothing. I asked how much the total was and he stated flatly, "eight dollars." I handed him a ten and told him to keep the change, he grunted and walked away.
This exchange reminded me of Robert Putnam's (Harvard's lead diversity expert) recent study that found that multi-culturalism is a community killer. After a career, spanning 30 years, promoting the propaganda that "diversity is our strength" he finally actually studied the matter and found - what those of us not living in an ivory tower, already knew - diversity is destroying us. He says his study shows that, "in the presence of diversity, we hunker down", he said. "We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it's not just that we don't trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don't trust people who do look like us."
This is just a convoluted way of saying people of different backgrounds, world-views, customs, and traditions do not a community make. Because it seems that all of the restaurants in my area are owned and operated by foreigners, I am reminded of this fact, every time I order out.
Twenty years ago, when this part of north-eastern Massachusetts was 99% White, ordering out was a pleasant experience. You'd call up, banter with the guy on the phone - in most cases you probably knew him or at least one of his relatives - if it was a girl that answered you'd maybe flirt a little, some young kid would deliver the pizza, there'd be a pleasant exchange and you'd have your food, feeling pretty good about the world.
Whether or not it is because of a language barrier, a cultural barrier, or because they are taught by the current lords of diversity to think of themselves as victims and thus believe themselves to have a right, nay a duty, to be disrespectful to White men, ordering from these foreigners is always a disjunctive and enraging experience.
Over the last half-century or so, much has been made of the rise in "mental illnesses" (depression, anxiety, and other "stress" related maladies) that require medical expertise and prescription drugs to treat. The increase, in such "illness," parallels, almost perfectly, the demographic change in this nation over the same period. It's clear that multi-culturalism is, in part, responsible for this surge and that this increased alienation is responsible for the general breakdown of community life in America.
This increased alienation is, in turn, partially responsible for the surge in crime, the number of failed marriages, the amount of teenage pregnancy, promiscuity and sexual perversity, drug abuse (both street and prescription). Much of which exacerbate, the already barely manageable, disjunction caused by "diversity."
These developments should make one thing clear - diversity is our destruction. It's true aim is the death of White America. We must stop the "browning of America" and restore our customs, traditions, and culture or the American Experiment will surely fail. As a result American civilization will collapse and we will all, regardless of cultural origins, suffer the consequences.

Excellent post.
It is so easy to see the 'rise of diversity' being in correlation to so many other recent problems!
Why can't others make this connection?!?!?!?
I have similar experiences like this all the time. I live in the Pacific North West and growing up it was 99% White, but now the mestizos are moving here in droves, also liberal Californians are moving up here after abandoning their social engineering project state. The result has been an absolute collapse in any type of Community vibe (pardon my Generation X lingo, to put it another way: National Socialists spoke of 'Folkish' community)
Good blog!

Hello Jaedda,
"It is so easy to see the 'rise of diversity' being in correlation to so many other recent problems!
You really can correlate so much that is wrong with America to liberal ideas like the multi-cult. It's really hard to understand why others aren't making the connection.
Although I'm not NS - I think that socialism in all of it's forms is so unnatural outside of the family or clan that it is always doomed to fail. That said, NS has a lot of good ideas that WNs should borrow. The folkish concept is one of 'em.

Magnificent my friend, simply magnificent post!
I also like to look for underlying causes for society's behavior, through the understanding of social phychology -- and your article so justly describes EVERYTHING that I, living in the 'jew yawk' city suburbs, have and routinely encounter from insolent, arrogant minorities!
Again, mucho thanks! Keep writing pieces like this one!

CHICAGO – John Michael epitomizes the art of the monologue. The Chicago transplant, by way of Dallas, is moving on (he says temporarily) from the city that inspired his last show, "Meatball Seance," after notorious and successful runs of his other one-man shows, "John Michael and the Order of the Penix" and "Dementia Me." His farewell performance is his latest, another laugh riot, "It's NOT ALL About You John Michael," and will take place at Mary's Attic in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood on March 1st, 2019.

Film Review: There Are Just Enough Reasons to Go Ape Over 'Rampage'Submitted by JonHC on April 12, 2018 - 12:44pm
CHICAGO - As a whole, we have a fascination with watching destruction in front of us. It provides a catharsis from our heavily stressed lives, especially in the Trump era. It provides a necessary release of aggression, the same way video games do for people. "Rampage" scratches that itch, but only if you aren't also looking to be intellectually stimulated or care about plot coherence.

This is not about you.
OK. It actually may be.
As with so many things in life, we see what we want to see, even and including ourselves in someone else's writing.
If you think I am writing about you, I very well may be. I may also be referring to one of the other 2000 people in my life right now or one of the 10000 who have walked through my life before.
Either way, here it is:
Life is not tit for tat.
I thought it was.
I thought if I called you my best friend, then you called me yours and we'd wear two halves of a "BE FRI/ST ENDS" necklace and share a seat on the bus and chew ABC gum.
I THOUGHT if you invited me to your home or cooked for me when I was sick or picked my kids up at school then I HAD to do the same for you.
But I don't.
And neither do you.
As painful as it may be, we feel the way we feel...and we're free to participate in each other's lives however we see fit. Personally, I will proofread your work, host you as a last minute guest, and DEFINITELY listen to your relationship woes ad nauseam. And, of course, care for unborn babies. But I stopped doing things I don't enjoy AGES ago EVEN for my friends. And I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.
That's a lie.
But I'm working on it.
The one thing I DO have unresolved feelings about? The "best friend" thing.
If you are my absolute best friend in the whole entire world, does that mean no one else can be as close to me as you? And if I identify you as my best friend, do you have to do the same? What if there's someone else who makes your heart sing?
But that's life.
Let's try to make the most of it.
Seems to me there's more. So let's continue the conversation, shall we?
What's your job as my friend? Maybe that's your own business?
I'll be honest. I have expectations. I have great hopes and desires. But maybe that sets me up for failure.
What's MY job as YOUR friend? To give you whatever you need. If I'm up for the task, that's what I have to focus on: You. *I* don't actually exist in the equation.
Think I buy it? Think I can make it work? Let's see. I'll keep you posted. ;)

Don't forget, ALL airguns are assembled and zeroed prior to dispatch, and delivered direct to your door!
This air pistol is made by Steyr who are based in Austria, and has been developed over the past few years to make it one of the best Match air pistols available today. This model being the E means the trigger is electronically powered which reduces excess movement in the trigger system, as well as ensuring a clean and crisp break each and every shot.
The barrel of the pistol is supplied by Lothar Walther who produce some of the finest barrels currently available, and Steyr check each batch thoroughly to ensure they meet their strict standards. The end of this barrel is then fitted with an 8 duct compensator which removes the turbulent air as the pellet leaves the barrel to allow the flight path to be flatter and undisturbed.
The electronic trigger has been redesigned to use gold contact instead of a microswitch which reduces any excess travel to make the let off very precise. The power source for this trigger comes from a built in rechargeable battery which provides enough power for 10,000 shots. The trigger blade is made from aluminium and is based on a metal rod, which has the ability to slide backwards and forwards to accommodate shooters with smaller or larger hands.
All of our Steyr pistol are official UK imports, and come complete with a plastic hard case to keep them safe.

Here are some upcoming events you can mark down on your calendar:
- Daylight Saving Time (March 13)
- Christmas (Dec. 25. But if you can't remember this, then you might have problems.)
- Super Bowl LI (Back to Roman numerals for the next game, set for Feb. 5, 2017.)
But when it comes to planning your schedule around upcoming Apple product-related events, well… Just make sure you use a pencil to write the date down. Because the odds are you will have to change your plans at least once before Apple puts an end to all speculation and confirms just when Chief Executive Tim Cook is going to show off some of the company's newest gadgets.
The latest game of When Will Apple's Next Big Event Be is reportedly set for March 21. At least that's what BuzzFeed said Monday, citing "sources in position to know." This new date comes not long after other reports recently said Apple was going to use March 15 for a special presentation to show off a new version of the iPhone, said to be called the iPhone 5se, as well as a new iPad Pro model, new Apple Watch bands and more support for Apple Pay.
Apple doesn't always hold one of its own events every March — the company often waits until its annual developers conference in June for its first major announcements of the year — so it could be a big deal if Apple shows off a new iPhone next month. After all, Apple already said it expects iPhone sales for the current quarter to decline from a year ago, so Cook & Co. might want to try to stoke the market early this year, instead of waiting until the fall, like it usually does, to unveil a new iPhone model.
If Apple does, indeed, hold a company event on March 21, it will start a very busy week for the company. Apple is supposed to be in court on March 22 to file briefs related to its refusal to help the FBI hack into the iPhone 5c that belonged to one of the shooters in last December's terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
Oh…When reached for any information about any possible event it might have, Apple said,"We don't comment on rumors or speculation."
We'll keep our pencils handy just in case we need to change our schedules.

Healthcare Waste Management: A Case Study from Sudan

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Innovative Processes and Technologies for the Management of Hazardous Waste)
AbstractHealthcare waste (HCW) represents a major public health issue, especially in developing countries. Among HCW categories, sharps waste is one of the most hazardous. Exposure to needle-stick injuries can lead to blood-borne pathogens, therefore HCW should be managed in an effective manner. The main aims of this study were to assess the current management of used needles and to suggest suitable recommendations for an improved and safer system for needle management in Khartoum, Sudan. The study showed that the management of both healthcare and home-generated HCW in Sudan is inefficient, as all wastes are mixed together and disposed of improperly, especially used needles. The study attributes this to many reasons, including lack of waste segregation at the source, lack of policies, failure of planning, inadequate training, lack of awareness of the hazardous nature of such kinds of waste, weak infrastructure, and a lack of suitable treatment technologies. The estimated average generated rate of HCW ranged from 0.38 to 0.87 kg/bed/day in 2009 and 2012, respectively. Such ineffective healthcare waste management HCWM, especially used needles, can put public health as well as the environment at risk, particularly waste workers, thus urgent action needs to be taken by all involved parties and at all levels.

What May Be Coming in Apple Watch 2Posted: June 18, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Apple, Apple Watch 2.0, Batteries, Face Time, Lithium-Ion, Longer Life, Safer, WiFi Leave a comment
With a second generation refresh of the Apple Watch expected out next year, 9to5mac.com says multiple sources are touting some features we will probably see on v. 2.0. Among those are a Face Time video camera built into the top bezel, and a new WiFi system for more iPhone independence. Insiders say you may be able to do most basic communication over WiFi without going through your iPhone. One thing not expected is more battery life. Apparently, Apple says most customers are happy with what the device now has. Did we mention they plan additional pricey premium models starting at over $1000?
On the subject of batteries, some researchers at Stanford have come up with a way to make lithium-ion batteries safer. As has been known, they can overheat and catch fire sometimes. Engadget.com reports the researchers have developed a chemical layer over the lithium anodes that prevents the finger like dendrites from growing out and shorting the battery. The barrier utilizes a mixture lithium nitrate and lithium polysulfide, for you chemistry nerds. A nice side effect is longer life. The treated batteries hold 99% efficiency for over 300 charges, compared with 150 cycles without. The breakthrough could lead to electric vehicles that could go days without a recharge.

This blog started as my movie marathon — watching a movie a day for a whole year — and has continued as a place for me to write reviews about movies, TV, and various other items.
This is still a work in progress as I migrate from my old platform at Tumblr. For now, you can still access the whole backlog of posts there at http://reelmatt.tumblr.com
A group of Southern California high school students are enjoying their most important subjects - sex, drugs and rock n' roll.
THE REVIEW: Clueless surprised me with how good it was when I watched it. Director Amy Heckerling had me laughing the whole way through, not only with one-liners, but with a funny story and characters that I cared about as well. Her directorial debut, Fast Times at Ridgemont High seems like a spiritual predecessor being about high school kids and all. Disappointment is probably the best word I can use to describe my reaction to the film however.
Almost nothing in this film works. The setting contains several non-coherent stories which barely connect to each other, Mr. Hand (Ray Walston) and Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh) are the only characters who twinkle in a sea of faint stars, and the few laughs I did have were handily negated by the awkward silences where I stared at the screen wondering when the next scene would start.
Another comparison would be to Animal House but doing so really wouldn't be fair to Animal House. Looking at Fast Times I'm almost shocked at how immature of a film it is. Both Fast Times and Animal House are immature in their sense of humor, but Fast Times is also immature from a conceptual state too. Immature humor is fine by me and often times I find it more amusing than I probably should (case in point: Why Him?). What happens with Fast Times though is there isn't anything for me to latch on to. The characters are almost universally weak and have no, well, character to them and even more critically the story: a) goes nowhere; and b) nothing happens to make individual moments enjoyable even.
Roger Ebert said the film seemed that it, "hasn't been though through, or maybe even thought about." He talked more about the tone of the film and its humor but also as an overall critique. It perfectly summarizes my reaction coming out of it but I can't help but feel the humor and tone would've actually worked had the characters been fleshed out at all and the story had some semblance of structure to it.
THE RATING: 2 out of 5

The final season of "Switched at Birth" is drawing to a close but the series finale isn't the only huge episode headed our way. Reaching 100 episodes is a huge mile marker for any TV show, and this one will be particularly poignant since it also marks the beginning of the end for Freeform's groundbreaking series.
Screener caught up with Lea Thompson to chat about the 100th episode, titled "Memory (The Heart)," and her pivotal role as director.
"It just snuck up on us, and then when it snuck up on us is when they said we're not doing any more, so it's really been like a rollercoaster of emotions," Thompson says. "I think we've done a lot of great work. I'm proud of it. I'm proud of the last ten episodes … I'm really honored that they let me direct it, the 100th [episode]. We've had a great time. We've had a great run, and it's been very civilized and kind and a great experience these five years."
RELATED: 'Switched at Birth' cast reveals their favorite episodes of the series
Directing the 100th episode is as big of a responsibility as it is an honor, and we have no doubts that Thompson will wow us both in front of the camera and behind it.
"[Directing] is really great, and it's so fun for me." Thompson says. "It just makes me fall in love with the show over and over again and fall in love with the actors. Each one of them, I get to fall in love with again as I'm directing them. They're such skilled and kind and professional people.
One of those people is, of course, fan favorite Gilles Marini.
Marini played Angelo Sarrento, Daphne's (Katie Leclerc) father and Bay's (Vanessa Marano) biological father. Angelo died after a crashing his car into a tree in Season 3, and hasn't been seen on the show since. Luckily, he'll make a very touching reappearance in the 100th episode.

"It's really nice that they figured out a way to have Gilles back," Thompson says. "Our audience loved him, and we love him. He's wonderful."
As you might imagine, this milestone is bound to be incredibly sentimental and moving, and Thompson has a word of advice for viewers: bring Kleenex. "This one was very emotional," she says. "Everyone gets to cry. It's like a ten hanky show."
"Switched at Birth" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Freeform.

As told to T. Cole Rachel, 2175 words.
Tags: Music, Process, Inspiration, Anxiety.
Conor Oberst on the compulsion to create
Do you find that songwriting—and the way that making songs functions in your life—has changed a lot over the years? You've been doing this since you were literally a kid.
Well, I suppose the longer I'm on this earth, the more recurring themes I notice. I try really hard not to get jaded or cynical about things, but I think it's just a fact of growing older that you just start to notice patterns, and a lot of those patterns are upsetting. I approach the songwriting probably the same way I always have. It's hard to even articulate, but it comes from some unconscious spot in my mind.
It's usually just one little idea that eventually grows into a song. The mysterious part is that thing you can't control: that X factor. You can't predict when it's going to come and you have no control over it. That's the elusive thing you're always chasing. Once you have that, it becomes much more of a craft. That's where I feel like I've gotten better over the years because I've probably written over 1,000 songs or whatever.
I can't pretend that part—the crafting part—is really mysterious anymore. That part is what I do. That's my job. If you're a carpenter, you know that you can build a cabinet. I know I can make a song once I have the initial thing, the spark. It's just the initial thing that you can't force. That's the part you have to wait for, basically.
If you can't force that spark to happen, is it about creating opportunities where it might show up?
I definitely think there's something to be said for making time for me to be by myself and free of any kind of distraction or obligation. It's almost like penciling in time to daydream, essentially. Time to stare out a window or walk around aimlessly, you know? That's usually when the ideas happen. If someone hands me a guitar and is like, "Go sit in this room for 20 minutes," nothing will happen. If I'm free to wander both physically and in my thoughts, then—not always, but a lot of times—something strikes a chord and I can build on it; an initial observation or idea or little scrap of memory seems to stick and has some resonance and I can go from there.
There are always peaks and valleys in anyone's professional career and you've certainly weathered a few of them. Did any of that outside stuff, the actual business of music, ever get in the way of your creative life?
Oh yeah. There have been moments of total emotional devastation. It's essentially wishing you weren't alive or wishing you didn't have the life you have, wishing you were a different person. Like for me to wish I never made music is crazy because that's literally all I've done my whole life, you know? I don't know how to do anything else.
It's a strange thing, but, yeah, there have been a couple times when I've gotten that low emotionally, psychologically, where I was having those thoughts, but you just kind of have to beat them back and realize that everyone has those moments. No matter what you do, it's your life. You're going to have moments where you question what you're doing or you experience a level of turmoil or tragedy that calls into question, "Oh, I could have had some other totally different life, but instead I did this." You have to be able to separate your professional life from your identity as a human being.
The other thing I always think about is that—with the exception of my family and a couple of really old friends— pretty much everyone I love in my life, I've met somehow through music. That's always good to keep in mind. The connective tissue of my life is how music has led me to all these different people. If I had never played music who knows if I would have met all the people that populate my world and that I love so much.
At this point, how do you define success?
It's getting stranger for me, not just for me but for everyone in the music business. There used to be a more objective measurable things: How many records did you sell? What magazines were you in? What TV shows are you doing?
These days it just seems like there's so much to compete with. So much more information and entertainment, it's like a full-on blast all the time. For a guy like me, I'm never going to be trending on Google or something. I'm going to always be lost in the wave of all this other stuff that's happening. I'm no longer new. You realize that you can't compete with newness. It's only going to be when a certain type of person that has a certain type of personality is going to somehow discover my music and seek me out and learn about my catalog or come see me play or whatever. I guess there are little things I can do to kind of wave my hand in a big crowd like, "Hey, I'm over here." Things like doing this interview, for example. At the end of the day it's kind of up to people to find me, because I can't spend a lot of time trying to draw attention to myself. Self-promotion is a job unto itself and one that, after a certain point, I don't have much interest in. No one is going to put me on Ellen or Saturday Night Live. I'm not going to be on the cover of Time. People are not going to find out what's up with me unless they look for it, which is kind of cool because it means that the people that do look for it have some vested interest in it. It's not being forced into them by any means, that's for sure. As those old markers of success become more blurry, you really do increasingly define success by doing things that make you happy. That other stuff falls away.
How important do you think it is for you to have a life that's separate from touring or making music, some way to nourish your creative self outside of the business of music stuff?
It doesn't happen that often, but sometimes I've taken extended periods off, maybe at the most nine months, of not really doing shows. I think that's healthy for sure. I feel like I'm kind of obsessive with music and I wish I could be that into something else. I wish I could be like, "Oh, I love birdwatching," or throw myself into some unrelated hobby. I really don't have that. Music is not something I can turn off and on. Of course, I love my friends and I love my family and I love people, but outside of that it's like a constant thing that I feel like I have to basically be writing as much as I can as often as I can, because it's like the one thing that has been the constant in my life that provides me meaning and purpose. It's like a vocation. It's not like a career. It's like a life pursuit. I have to do it because that's what I do.
Sadly, I've experienced many times, when it comes to relationships and stuff, that if you choose to give yourself completely on a vocational level to some sort of creative pursuit, it does usually have to supersede everything else. That does come at a price, you know? But I feel like that's what I want to do. That's what I'm going to do. Of course, it's nice to take breaks, go on vacation, distract yourself, or forget about it for a second, I think that is normal and healthy, but I couldn't give it up if I wanted to. Music is who I am, so it's not really up for discussion.
As far as songwriting goes, do you have ways to trick yourself out of feeling stuck?
Definitely. For me it's always come in waves. I'll have a real barren period as far as writing, and then I'll hit on something and I'll write a LOT of songs in a somewhat short period of time. Once the writing wave goes by there's always a little bit of panic of like, "Oh, it's never going to happen again!" but I've had that panic now so many times in my life that it's like, "Yeah, it's going to happen again." You need to be patient and you need to create that mental space or whatever that just allows you to think freely. For me, I need to not be living in the details or stuck somehow in the mundane parts of my life, but to let my mind wander into other territories. I feel like when I can create that space for myself something usually happens.
People are fascinated with the idea of knowing about other people's creative practice, as if there is a secret code or key for how things get made. It's often both liberating and terrifying to acknowledge that there's no one way for anybody to make things. No right answer.
Exactly. That's the thing. I think that's the main takeaway from conversations like this—that everybody's creative process is different. For example, I know that Carole King showed up to the same building for years and wrote one beautiful song after another while on the clock, but I'm not Carole King. That wouldn't work for me. I would never get a job like that. But, hey, she made it work that way. And those songs are classics. It's not like she just mailed them in. That's just how she worked and that's probably how she learned to do it.
You've written hundreds of songs at this point in your life, do you think of songs as being things that are ever really finished?
If I've played a song for a long time live, I tend to change words or I'll change the melody or change the arrangements based off whatever the touring band is. In that sense, they're never complete, never finished. I've said this before, but I feel like songs exist in all of these different forms. You have the document—the recording—which people know, but even that gets blurred because often there's a bunch of live recordings, covers, or revisions floating around. There can be more than one document.
Sometimes a song will truly just get put to bed forever, where it never gets played and it doesn't matter. Sometimes it's a song that has legs and keeps getting played all the time, and then it's always going to be morphing into a different version of itself, I think, without even trying to. I think you have to try harder to not let that happen. I've heard bands that are like, "Every time we play this song it's gotta sound like this. It's got to sound like the record." I feel like there are bands that do that or approach it like that, but I could never do that. I want it to be different. Thank God that it changes, because who wants to do the same thing all the time? The most fun part about playing live music is the weird different stuff that can happen any given day.
Is making music a process of trying to get out of your own way? Opening a clear channel to communicate?
Totally. I think it's important to not feel like your creative output is being controlled by a timeline that is organized by someone else. I've never had some high powered manager chomping on a cigar or a record label guy on my case, know what I mean? I've never had anyone saying to me, "Where's the record, Conor? Where's the single?" But I feel like I have that guy inside my own head that terrorizes me on my own behalf. A voice that says, "What are you doing? You're wasting your time." It's really just me tripping myself out. If I can get rid of that thing that's feeling obligatory and go back to a more open channel like, "I'm here. Let's go." That's really the place to be, I think, as far as writing goes for me.
I know a lot of people who are like, "It's a discipline. Nine o'clock every day I'm at the desk." To me it's not that at all. I don't have any discipline. I just know that I have to wait and eventually it will happen. I know that I have to be patient.

The Skeptics SA guide to
The controversial Viennese physician, Franz Mesmer, (1734–1815) was the first to describe what we now call hypnosis. His name gave rise to the term Mesmerism. He ascribed his therapeutic successes to a physical agency he called animal magnetism. James Braid (1795–1860), a Manchester doctor, coined the term 'hypnotism' when he rejected the animal magnetism theory. He attributed the altered state of consciousness to prolonged fixation of the eyes on a bright object.
Experimental evidence obtained under scientific conditions does not support the extravagant claims made about the hypnotic state. It is true that analgesia can be produced by hypnosis. However this is no more than the normal ability everyone has to suppress pain. Minor sports injuries such as cuts, abrasions and bruises are common and often pass unnoticed until long after the injury was sustained. Pain is related to the degree of attention focused on it. Insertion of a hypodermic needle for an injection may feel unduly painful when carefully observed by the patient. Attention focused on sporting activity diverts attention from pain. Hypnosis can teach a subject to disregard pain, and may be useful in dental surgery. Claims of major surgery under hypnotic anaesthesia alone have not been scientifically confirmed, and in most observed cases, drugs, sedation and chemical anaesthesia have been used in addition.
Hypnotic analgesia differs from that which occurs in 30% of patients taking a placebo (an inactive medication such as a sugar pill). In the latter case the body produces powerful morphine-like chemicals—endorphin is one—which block pain reception. This has been proved by the fact that Naloxone, a morphine antagonist, neutralises its pain killing property, and also prevents the analgesic effect of a placebo. Naloxone does not block hypnotic analgesia, which shows that endorphin is not involved in this case. Hypnotic analgesia depends on the mind-body relationship, and the power of suggestion. When Bertrand Russell went to his dentist with toothache, the dentist examined his mouth and asked "Where does it hurt?" "In my mind, of course," Russell answered. Acupuncture as a treatment of pain probably produces its effect by inducing endorphin secretion.
Everybody has the ability to choose deliberately when to react to pain and when not to react. Hypnosis helps you to decide. From this it is clear that it is you who makes the decision, not the hypnotist. There is no such thing as 'hypnotic power'. This is a myth. Hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis, the so-called hypnotist simply guiding the subject. In fact the hypnotist is not actually essential for the experience. Hypnosis may be induced by a tape recording. The method of inducing hypnosis usually starts by the subject being instructed how to consciously relax voluntary muscles by first contracting them, and then releasing them. He is told to fix his eyes on a bright object, such as a torch with a dimming circuit which can slowly be extinguished. Speaking in a slow, quiet, but authoritative voice the hypnotist suggests relaxation and sleep. The subject's eyes will often close spontaneously.
There is no scientific evidence that hypnosis increases memory recall, or muscle strength. Some therapists believe that hypnosis can produce age regression to early childhood, and even early infancy. They suggest that memories from this early period in the subject's life can be recovered. However there is no reason to believe in the validity of recovered memories. Memories that are not kept in mind repeatedly, or refreshed regularly, will decay. They are not recoverable as the identical episode as originally experienced. Therapists and 'counsellors' in California have described memory retrieval from the crib onwards. These memories have almost invariably involved sexual abuse. As a result, adults have accused their parents of sexual abuse in childhood which they had forgotten until 'memory' was restored to them under hypnosis. In the hands of therapists who believe in immediately searching for these events, the patient is quickly encouraged to produce childhood memories. This has resulted in law suits and the break-up of families, and many parents have lost contact with their children. A False Memory Syndrome Foundation has been formed in the USA to assist such parents. The fact is that hypnosis alters the mood state and thereby affects memory retrieval. Mood has a powerful effect on memory.
The common belief that hypnosis increases memory retrieval has been shown experimentally to be false. Memories retrieved under hypnosis have proven to be highly unreliable. There is generally a desire by susceptible subjects to please the hypnotist. They may readily agree to a suggestion, even if untrue. The general belief that hypnosis will always bring out the truth is incorrect. Lying and fantasy are far more common than truth.
In recent years, Multiple Personality Disorder has attracted attention, particularly in the USA, and hypnosis has been involved in most cases. In 1954 two American psychologists reported a case in which they produced three different personalities in their patient under hypnosis. They later produced a book, The Three Faces of Eve, and a film was made of it. From then on (1957) reports of cases multiplied enormously, and Multiple Personality Disorder is common: but only in the USA. It is very rare in Europe, the UK and Australia. Merskey (1995), who has made a special study of this subject, points out that the condition is almost certainly created by the implicit demands of therapists using hypnosis. He quotes the case of a 27 year old waitress in Oshkosh Winsconsin who claimed to have 46 different personalities, six of whom were sworn in and gave testimony in a trial. The record at present stands at 110 different personalities claimed by one patient.
Post hypnotic suggestion is the term used when the subject responds to a suggestion made earlier in the hypnosis session, and usually with the claim of no memory of the suggestion. Whether the subject truly has no memory of the suggestion is doubtful. The desire of the subject is to please the therapist, and some degree of play acting is involved. There is no evidence that a subject will perform a post hypnotic suggestion act which he would not normally do. Stage hypnosis generally is condemned by psychiatrists. The reason is that emotionally unstable subjects may be adversely affected by the procedure. For example, it may be incorporated into the delusional system in paranoid schizophrenia. A stage hypnotist will usually select vulnerable subjects by a simple test of their suggestibility. He may say to his audience "When I count three you will feel compelled to stand up". Those who obey this command are then selected to go up on the stage.
Despite the criticism and scepticism put forward in this article, hypnotism is occasionally a useful therapeutic procedure, particularly in the rather rare cases of hysterical amnesia. However, the imaginative claims often made about hypnosis do not stand up to vigorous scientific testing and critical evaluation.

Dollshouse Diaries
Wednesday, 14 March 2012
So, here's the basement area. It has two rooms, a large kitchen and a smaller room which I think is going to be a servants dining/living room. I removed some old wood panelling and replaced it with new. The basement was a kit added on to the main house so I put a false door in the back to make it look like upstairs and downstairs were joined together.
I'll post some close ups of the kitchen contents soon.

Hi! My name is Lisa and welcome to my personal website. Whether drawing, painting, cross-stitching, card making, or doing nail art, I've been 'creating' since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Over this past year I've really gotten into the world of card making and nail art. I know that there are already a lot of creative card makers, digi stamp designers, and nail artists out there and I've been learning a lot from them. I've been wanting to enter some card challenges but need a gallery to display my creations. So, voila! I'm finally following through on creating a personal website to share my creative endeavours with the world.
I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I am happily married to my college sweetheart and we have been married for 23 years. We were never blessed with children so our 'babies' have always been cats. Currently, we have one female tabby named Marigold.

Formatted Printed and Distributed by the Environmental Task Force of Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice 1448 E. 52nd St., Box 144, Chicago, IL 60615
Background: Back in 1970 the U.S. recycling rate was 6.6 percent, which increased to 34.1 percent by 2010. However, overall waste nearly doubled during that time frame (though some materials, such as glass and ferrous metals decreased or stayed the same), resulting in more non-recycled waste today than back in 1970.
The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) passed in 1976. Among other things, the law mandated that landfills be closely monitored and enacted America's hazardous waste management program. Due to increased regulations and recycling, the number of landfills in America decreased by more than 75% between 1988 and 2002. Responsible disposal of hazardous waste prevented more than 15 million pounds of toxic chemicals from being released into soil and waterways from 2007 to 2010 alone. As of 2010, 25 states had passed legislation mandating statewide e-waste recycling.
The benefits of recycling can be summed up in energy savings, natural resource conservation, increased jobs and economic activity, and some reduction of waste disposal in landfills
Economic Impact: Per a U.S. Recycling Economic Information Study (2002) recycling was generating 1.1 million U.S. jobs, associated with $37 billion in annual payroll. A 2010 update of that study found that recycling in Illinois generates 111,500 jobs, with $3.6 billion in payroll, and over $1 billion in state and local taxes. The Tellus Institute projects that increasing the U.S. recycling rate to 75% would result in 2.3 million recycling related jobs. Substantially increasing the cost of sending materials to landfills would be a strong incentive to achieve higher recycling rates.
Markets: As of 2009, roughly 60% of the recyclables collected in North America were reused in North America, while the remaining 40% were exported to other parts of the world, mostly to Asia.
Geographic location plays an important role in the price setting, due to differences in prices of machinery, labor, and other production costs. Sometimes the value of waste materials involves negative figures – in other words, the user is paid for acquiring the recovered materials. During periods when the price of recycled materials is low, such as during recessions, it is more economical to focus on waste-to-energy technologies.
Mixtures of recycled and virgin materials can be used instead of purely virgin material in manufacturing processes without damaging the properties and characteristics of the resulting material.
With regard to paper and board, use of recovered paper has outstripped the use of virgin fibers since 2005. However, the use of some virgin fibers is required to strengthen the mixture of recovered paper during the papermaking process. The use of recycled fibers usually varies between three and eight times depending on the quality of the recycled paper.
Not all plastics can be recycled since there are chemical difficulties with some polymers. Mixed plastic packaging is not usually recycled due to problems in the separation stage. The type of plastics that can be recycled are PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PVC, PS and a few others. In 2007, 80% of the market for waste plastic was in Asia.
Turning to metals, recycling saves 95% of the energy used in aluminum production, 85% of the energy used in copper production, and 74% of the energy used in steel production. Steel is the most recycled material in the world, followed by paper and aluminum. In 2007, Asia imported 80% of the world's copper scrap, 50% of the world's aluminum scrap, and 30% of the world's iron and steel scrap.
Glass can be recycled endlessly without losses in quality or purity. Domestic markets for recycled glass remain at a high level and this fact makes the price paid for this material quite stable. Imports and exports of glass are rare because of its high weight and the high fuel consumption associated with its transportation. Glass needs to be separated by color for recycling. Mixed glass has a much lower value due to strange colors obtained after melting. Clear glass has the highest value, due to high market demand.
Recycled wood comes from construction and demolition, plus from commercial, industrial and household sources. The main market of recycled woodchip has been the panel board industry, but new markets have been developed in recent years. Wood waste prices will vary considerably depending on the cleanliness of the material, volume and location. In the sorting process, plastic needs to be separated according to the type of resin. Glass needs to be separated by color. The various types of metals need to be separated. Undesirable materials, such as ceramics, need to be removed from the materials to be recycled. Today, in large urban areas, most of the necessary sorting is done mechanically.

They've been holding numerous protests against Project H since it first appeared and have vigorously fought to stop the growth of the
single most important event in the lives of South Africans. And now the group has possibly made their most appalling statement ever – that they hail the death of Cindy Hart as a victory
for their cause.
The image you'd expect of someone who gives up their worldly existence to live on the street in a religious protest against a Godless society is of a person who is humble and even
somewhat shabby. Therefore it came as quite a surprise when upon meeting Nazier, (he preferred only to be known by his first name) I noticed him wearing a very luxurious looking jacket.
Every Sunday his church used to be packed to the rafters with worshippers hanging on to his every word. Today, Pastor Dennis Hart can't even pay people to fill his empty pews.
Project H came along and cleaned house, reducing his life to near redundancy. And he's not one bit happy about it!
