My mother's first response upon hearing that I was seeing a Russian comedy was, "There are Russian comedies?" Yakov Smirnoff would answer, "Many people are surprised to hear that we have comedians in Russia, but they are there. They are dead, but they are there." The Russians are stereotypically a dour people, but that has more to do with their weather and political science than innate disposition. The Russians indeed have comedies, and some of the best were penned by Ukrainian-born Nikolai Gogol, who, with rapier-sharp wit, skewered the social conventions of tsarist Russia. The Hilberry Theatre dips yet again into the funny fountain with "Marriage," a sly, satirical farce that raps the "popular institution" upside the head.
The Hilberry is blessed with long-time patrons, many of whom will remember a previous Gogol romp, "The Inspector General" from 2006. The troupe moves from exposing government corruption to poking fun at an old-country practice, the arranged marriage.
While "Marriage" was published in 1843, Gogol had a 21st century cynicism about matrimonial traditions, and he didn't have the Kardashians for role models. Bashful bachelor Ivan Kuzmich Podkolyosin (Brent Griffith) has hired Fiokla the Matchmaker (Sarah Hawkins-Moan) to find him a suitable bride. Her choice is an orphan with property, Agafya Tikhonovna (Annie Keris). The presence of the matchmaker alerts Kochkariev (Ty Mitchell), our swain's best friend, that wedding bells might chime. Cursed with an unhappy marriage (courtesy of Fiokla), Kochkariev insists – nay, demands – that the hesitant Podkolyosin woo and win the maiden without delay. After all, misery loves company.
The duo are about to try an end-run around Fiolka and deprive her of her commission, so she finds three more unsuitable suitors for the dithering Agafya. They are Chris Call's blustering bully, who's only in it for the money; a foppish, intellectual poseur played by Miles Boucher, and a retired Navy lieutenant, Zhevakin (Topher Payne), a crashing bore. Can Kochkariev outwit Fiolka and her three stooges and unite the reluctant couple in wedded bliss?
Pardon me; this alphabet borscht has given my spell check indigestion. Gogol has great fun satirizing unusual Russian names – Chris Call's character, in this adaptation by Barbara Field, is named Poach'Tegg (whisper that under your breath; you'll get it). He also plays with the snobbish notion that to be sophisticated, one must speak French. But first and foremost, Gogol won't let us forget that a marriage of convenience need not be a happy one.
James Thomas directs a tight ensemble in performing some pretty sophisticated material. The production hums when the scenes are played broadly for farce; less successful when the action goes a little over the top. Yet "Marriage" never falls into camp. Even the redoubtable Joshua Blake Rippy, who cross-dresses to play Aunt Arina, Agafya's formidable guardian, delivers a thoughtful, measured performance.
As funny as the shtick can be, the play is at its very best in some quieter moments. Most memorable is a "getting to know you" scene starring Keris and Griffith, a gentle blend of uncomfortable silences, awkward conversation and Granny Smith apples. Even silence is golden; Payne's Zhevakin resolutely squaring his shoulders on his exit is mute testimony that the rejected lieutenant is down but not out.
There are some puzzling choices in design. Michael Wilkki's set is rather cartoonish, dominated by a giant pastel wedding cake that might have come from a confectionary in Wonderland. It oddly contrasts with a script that was at the forefront of the realism aesthetic of Russian theater. Cartoonish, too, are some, but not all, of Clare Hungate-Hawk's costumes. The three suitors are decked in oversized hats and garish colors; the rest of the characters in suitable period clothing. One can only assume that the contrast is deliberate, sort of delineating the freaks from the geeks.
Gogol's targets may be outdated, but the satirist's ultimate goal is to expose pretentiousness and hypocrisy in any time. "Marriage" is an opportunity to reflect on our own foibles.
Or as Yakov Smirnoff might have said, "In Soviet Russia, Art criticizes YOU!"
Hilberry Theatre, 4743 Cass Ave., Detroit. Plays in rotating repertory through April 6. 2 hours. $12-30. 313-577-2972. http://www.Hilberry.com

To make your gift online, please visit our giving page. Please specify that the moneys should go to Dr. Catherine Cook-Cottone's research, and specify the research project.
Doctoral Students
The Satsanga Center and Research Project offers multiple clinical and research opportunities for doctoral students. By reviewing Dr. Cook-Cottone's research page you can view the many doctoral students who are currently, or who have previously worked on research with Dr. Cook-Cottone. Experiences in research on the Satsanga project include group efficacy trials, control group trials, grant writing, assessment construction and validation, group administration, development and use of treatment integrity measures, and development of innovative practices. Dr. Cook-Cottone enjoys the mentoring relationship and hopes to publish with each of her students.
Master's Students
The Satsanga Center and Research Project offers multiple research and clinical opportunities for Master's students. Though Masters' students are often in school in order to refine their skills to become practitioners, the SUNY at Buffalo's focus on the integration of science and practice encourages a strong base in research and the understanding of research. Accordingly, Master's students are required to complete a project or thesis. Dr. Cook-Cottone has enjoyed mentoring many Master's students who have completed their Master's work for the Satsanga Center and Research Project. Because the prevention aspect of the project is located within the schools, this is ideal for school psychologists and school counselors. These students are especially encouraged to inquire. Also, some Master's student are interested in research experience as they decide whether to not to continue their education and pursue a doctoral degree. Experience in the Satsanga project can be a wonderful way to help make this decision as it offers a combination of clinical and research experience.
Technology and Data Input
In addition to help with group administration and research methodology, Dr Cook-Cottone is seeking individuals that are interested in data input and web page construction. SUNY at Buffalo students interest in gaining experience working on the development of the Satsanga Resource Page of this Site or helping to input data from research studies (with SPSS experience) should contact Dr. Cook-Cottone at email@example.com.

Direct Mail Best Practices 2018: Tips and Trends
The convenience and speed of digital marketing has made it an obvious choice for all organizations. Email especially has become a saturated marketing medium, making it hard for businesses to differentiate one promotional email from the next. The flood of messages being sent daily often get diverted to spam folders and ignored. Even with digital targeting techniques, email lists can be unqualified, leading to deleted mail and users unsubscribing from the list, meaning your message won't even be delivered. To stand out, many have chosen to bring back the tried and true option: direct mail! Direct mail can work hand in hand with digital marketing to create a more effective campaign. By using both, you are bringing the audience your message on two platforms that can help it stick.
Why it works:
Inboxes and browsers are flooded with ads that users have become numb to and often ignore. Direct mail is tangible. People tend to have a greater emotional response to physical ads and remember them better. Direct mail is less crowded, and people spend more time with direct mail than digital advertising. In general, consumers are 10-30 times more likely to move forward with a response to direct mail ads than with a digital campaign. There are many varieties of direct mail which can help attract attention from recipients. Overall, direct mail offers a tangible alternative to digital advertising that is hard to ignore.
As millennial's become the generation with the most purchasing power, their perception of direct mail is something to pay attention to. Even though they are known to be the first generation consumed by technology, they do not seem to be as impressed with digital advertising as you may think. Statistics show that 95% of those between the age of 18 to 29 have positive responses to receiving a personal mailing. Millennial's enjoy the tactile experience and are more likely to take action. To add to this groups' importance, they will have $1.4 trillion in spending power by 2020.
Tips for a Successful Direct Mail Marketing Campaign:
1. Simple design.
It is important to have a well thought out design, but less is more in this case. Recipients are turned off by too much wording and complexity. They want a simple and clear message that they can recognize quickly. With this type of advertising, simplicity has proven to be most effective.
2. Creativity
In a competitive advertising world, differentiation is key. Recipients want to see something different and unique. Using colored and textured paper can help your mail stand out. The variety of styles that are available today make designing a unique mailing easy!
3. Personalization
Making your ads more personal can help you bond with your audience. Mass mailings seem cost effective at first, but the personal touch is lost and often translates to losses in the long run due to a lower response rate. Small batches or printing using variable data for more personalized mailings can increase your responses. Studies show that 30% of people said they are more much more likely to open and read mail that is personalized and 55% said they are a little more likely. Recipients will appreciate the added effort and will make them feel important.
4. Targeted Market
Most important of all is data or list quality for your direct mail campaign. With the data available today, you can focus on a highly targeted market. Online advertising is often about reaching the most people as possible at the lowest cost. However, this can be wasteful because a large portion of the audience may not be interested in what you offer. By curating a targeted, qualified list, you can identify a specific market segment before creating a message that will resonate with that group, so when you send out your mailing you will greatly increase the chances of response to your call to action.
The Hybrid Option – Direct Mail & Digital Advertising
Sometimes going back to basics is necessary. Online advertising has become overcrowded and ineffective. It is difficult to stand out in the thousands of ads that consume the digital world. The letter and envelope is more appreciated due to its growing rarity. New technologies allow you to personalize your mailing and take it to a level that was not possible before. Digital advertising still holds great value in its ability for quick, mass distribution. By combining both, you can target your market on both ends and allow for a greater response rate.

Proximity Issue 010 ( November 2012 )
This guest edited edition was organized by Lise Haller Baggesen and Kirsten Leenaars who initiated the collaborative curatorial project called 'Mutualisms' in 2011 at the Co-Prosperity Sphere.
The show explored the ways in which networks of friendship and artistic collaboration can be used as a model for curating. The exhibition looked into artistic strategies for finding hospitality and exchange in the context of contemporary art practices as well our own social domain.
Eight Dutch and eight American artists/artist duos were paired and worked together to create a collaborative presentation of their works. Iris Kensmil & Carol Jackson, Rune Peitersen & Mark Jeffery/Judd Morrissey, Marjolijn Dijkman & Lora Lode/Kevin Kaempf, Jonas Ohlsson & Selina Trepp, Magnus Monfeldt & Harold Mendez, Maurice Bogaert & Trevor Gainer, Caroline Stikker/Philippine Hoegen & Aron Gent and Saskia Janssen/ George Korsmit & Adelheid Mers.
Proximity's Mutualisms issue is an extension of the show as well as a document proposing further models for collaboration. It features writing by: Erik Hagoort, Caroline Picard, Karsten Lund, Jeremiah Day, Anne Elizabeth Moore, and Tricia Van Eck. And it features work by: Adelheid Mers, Saskia Jansssen, George Korsmit, Carol Jackson, Iris Kensmil, Magnus Monfeldt, Harold Mendez, Selina Trepp, Jonas Ohlsson, Carolien Stikker, Philippine Hoegen, Aron Gent, Maurice Bogaert, Trevor Gainer, Kevin Kaempf, Lora Lode, Marjolijn Dijkman, Mark Jeffery, Judd Morrissey, and Rune Peitersen.
This issue of Proximity Magazine was financed, in part, by the Propeller Fund, The Mondriaan Fund, and the Dutch Consulates in New York and Chicago. Proximity Magazine is published by Public Media Institute.
Complementary copies of the issue will be given out at the opening Vernissage of the MDW Fair on November 9.

Bridal Make-up
Every woman must have the knowledge of bridal make-up and of things required for it. If the facilities of a beauty parlor are not available, bridal make-up depends much on the bride's family and friends, because the bride does not decorate herself for her marriage. Here are a few steps to keep in mind for bridal make-up:
For an immaculate make-up, a soft, smooth and lustrous skin is essential, and hence a couple of weeks before the wedding day great care should be taken to look after the skin of the body. Home-made concoctions (face-pack) and a good home-facial give the required softness to the skin. Steam the face and remove blackheads. Use some skin tonic or astringent lotion for a fresh look.
It is necessary to decorate hands in the morning on the wedding day. Make nails soft by dipping them in lukewarm water mixed with soap and soda bicarb and apply olive oil. Better go for a manicure.
Massage the hands and arms with a cream. Wash hands with lukewarm water and apply hand lotion so that they get a soft and smooth look. Paint nails with nail-polish. Decorate hands (and arms) with henna just one day prior to the wedding day.
Scrub the feet and apply 'alta' or mahawar. Visit a beauty parlor for a pedicure one day prior to the wedding, if possible.
A good hairstyle can be done only if the hair is not oily. So, shampoo them before make-up. Put them in rollers when wet and then dry them. Remove rollers when hair is dry. They will be wavy, and can be set well. Now draw forth smaller locks and do back -combing. Part your hair from the middle and make waves on both sides. A bride should have parting in the middle which matches well when decorated with 'matha-patti'. After setting the front hair, tie a bun. For short hair, ready-made 'switch' are readily available in the market. Hair spray will set the hair well and lend them luster.
Facial make-up is an important part of bridal make-up. Clean the face and use base cream, then apply make-up. If there are spots or shadows, hide them by applying light-tinged foundation or white lipstick on that part. Do not forget to apply foundation on the neck, otherwise it will appear darker than the face.
Now apply liquid rouge with a brush on the upper part of the cheeks and rub it down gently. It gives flush to the bride's face. Then apply face powder or compact powder evenly. Apply powder on the upper part of the eyelids and on the lips. Powder holds the mascara and lipstick.
After the face, do eye make-up. Put mascara on eyelids, eye-liner on the lashes and eye-shadow matching the clothes of the bride. Blue eye-shadow suits the bride's red dress. Green or golden eye-shadow can also be used with a red dress.
Lipstick is put on last of all. Apply a light shade first followed by a darker shade. Use a lip gloss on lipstick to ensure luster.
Now apply some astringent lotion so that the make-up is retained for a long time.
Put 'bindi' on the forehead. It could be round or according to the shape of the face. Bindi can be red matching the dress. Forehead can be decorated with small dots above the eyebrows in the shape of half-moon.
Although a bride looks beautiful in a red dress, the color may vary as per provincial traditions. They can be different in style: sari, suits, lehanga etc. Golden decoration on red dress gives a kind of glitter. Make-up is not complete without jewellery. 'Bindi' on forehead, 'jhoomer' or 'matha-patti', 'nath' on nose, earrings (jhumkas) on ears, necklace, bangles, 'kangans', 'bajuband', rings, 'payal' and 'hathfool' can also be worn by the bride.

Wordpress Video Portal Page
Presupuesto $750-1500 USD
We want to add a media portal to one of our video streaming customer's sites.
Main player at top of page, with media library below presented as tiles in a grid format. Player should always remain fixed at top so they can search and scroll through media library without interrupting anything they're currently viewing. This solution will utilize our player (the same used by Comcast for [login to view URL]). I've attached a php doc from a VOD media library implementation on a different customer site from several years ago. Note this file is only for reference to how the page loads the player, and how the player loads new media items from the page. The content fed to the page will be provided by a feed in Media RSS format, for example: [login to view URL]
Our service is extensively well-documented.
Media library should be searchable by keyword, series, or speaker name. Note that we can customize the feed to include whatever information that we need. We would prefer a situation where results update in real-time as a user is typing their search value.
Main player at top of page will include additional assets referenced within the feed. This customer is a church. We'll want to provide a link to download a PDF of the pastor's teaching notes, if that asset is available in the feed result for that item.
Again, our API is extensively documented. When a user clicks a tile, we want it to load that media item into the player already in the current page, without having to navigate to a new page.
The customer also has a live broadcast schedule. When they are streaming live, we would like the player to load their live stream by default. It would be preferred that we could provide a broadcast schedule within the page code or elsewhere within WordPress (maybe as a live broadcast schedule plug-in) that would allow the customer to easily update their weekly recurring broadcast schedule, also providing them with the ability to perform a manual override to present their live player. It would be good if this UI gave them the ability to give each occurrence of these live events a default and unique name.
For example, if the customer has live events each Sunday Morning at 9am and 11am, and then again on Wednesday nights, by default they could name these Sunday Morning Worship and Wednesday Night Bible Study (just examples), but if they wanted to go into the system and give a specific name for their Sunday Morning broadcast on a particular weekend that matches the pastor's sermon title, a link to the pastor's notes for that sermon, the name of the series, and the name of the speaker, we would like them to have the ability to do that.

1) How long have you been DJ'ing?
Experience is critical when choosing your DJ. Some companies charge less because their DJ's have less experience. The less experience a DJ has, the more vulnerable you are to having a botched event. The best night of your life should be just that. Leave it to the professionals and you have nothing to worry about.
2) Is your DJ business full-time or part time? Do you DJ weddings, clubs lounges and corporate events? If so how many and what clients have you worked for?
It is important to have a DJ that is well rounded and can bring a level of expertise and versatility to your event. You want to hire a DJ that is multi-faceted, a "true" performer that is varied and has extensive experience performing in front of different (and tough) audiences.
Hiring a DJ that is part-time and one dimensional probably won't fair well for you on your most important date. There isn't any rule or law against it but you don't want to hire your family members or friends to play music from their home stereo sound system.
When you hire a DJ company, they will bring professional equipment, high end mixer, amplifiers, wireless microphone, speakers and lighting. The lack of professional equipment will most likely end badly for your special night.
The best equipment typically runs anywhere from $5,000 and up. If your DJ is a professional, then they should have invested the money into their equipment.
3) Do you have a "one size fits all" wedding reception playlist or is it customizable?
It is best to find a DJ that will create the soundtrack to your wedding that reflects your vision, taste and style. One size doesn't fit all when it comes to wedding receptions. No two weddings are alike and neither should the music. The variety of music the DJ has is most important because the music creates the mood.
And the mood determines how successful or how lame your reception will be. Make sure the DJ knows the songs to play and what not to play. You should discuss this upfront with the DJ in a consultation that you have 2-3 months prior to your wedding reception. The last thing you want is the song you absolutely hate, playing on the most important day of your life.
4) How do you get the crowd moving?
This is critical when hiring a DJ. Knowing how to read the crowd is a must. The DJ should have a little bag of tricks they use to get the party started. Some of the more common tricks are different slide dances like the Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle and Wabble. Another trick is to get the bride and groom to compete for the longest conga line. But understanding how to read a crowd, build up the energy and keep that energy at its highest level is essential.
5) Do you take song request from guest?
This is totally up to the client. They may or may not want their guest to request songs. Sometimes people want their guest to be active participants in selecting music that will make them groove, other times the bride and or groom may want complete control over ever song played. This should be discussed up front when you have your consultation 2-3 months before your reception.
6) Do you offer any additional services to enhance the mood?
DJ's may or may not offer extra services like up-lights, monograms, special effects lighting, photo booths, and/or video monitors. These services create an atmosphere that is unparalleled to any other wedding reception you have ever been to. One or a few of these can truly make your most important night, a night your guest will never forget. People always remember the extras because they have not seen them before.
7) What sets you apart from your competition?
This question should be the easiest question for your DJ to answer. This is what makes the DJ unique. However, some DJ's will use this opportunity to speak negatively about their competition. This type of behavior is very unprofessional and reflects very badly on that DJ. If this were to happen then you would probably want to meet the DJ's they are speaking so badly about.
They may do this in fear that you would hire the competition versus them. Do it. That way you know what type of person you are dealing with.
8) What is all included with your package?
Knowing what you are getting for your money is important in any situation. Always ask the DJ what will I be getting by picking your services.
9) How much are your services?
Please do not base your decision on how much a DJ charges for their services. The term you get what you pay for could not be any truer. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to be upset about your DJ because you picked one solely on how much they cost. Price is important but the VALUE of what you are getting for your money is way more important. The DJ can either make or break your reception. Make sure your "frugalness" is not the reason in this case.
10) Do you do overtime?
Sometimes the party gets going and you don't want it to end. Ask the DJ if they do overtime and how much it is? It is best to ask this during the consultation so there are no surprises the day of the event. If you do decide to go into overtime then you already know how much it is going to cost you.

Priya's story
I was in my 20s when I met my dream man. I had come out of a long relationship and was happy to find someone who cared for me again.
We moved in together a few months after we started dating. Sometimes when we were apart we texted one another sexual photos, and one night we made a sex tape together. It was special and part of the world we created together – and I thought it was just about the two of us.
But after about 18 months, he lost his job and got into financial trouble. He started relying on me more and more and, at the same time, he became physically aggressive and controlling. He asked where I was going and who I was talking to, and criticised most things I did. I finally decided to leave him. It was heartbreaking that something which had started off so promisingly ended up like this.
I moved in with a friend, but my ex broke into my new unit and started repeatedly calling my work begging to talk to me. I refused because I knew he was controlling and this wasn't the kind of relationship I wanted to be in.
A month or so later I started receiving unwanted phone calls and visits from men asking for sex. At first I thought there had been some mix up with my number, but eventually one of them showed me dating profiles with my name, photos, video and address. My ex had set up the profiles and shared our sex tape online. It was so humiliating to think this tape was out there, and the calls just kept coming.
I thought that moving house and changing my address and phone number would help, but the abuse didn't end: he found my new address and the calls and unwanted late-night visitors continued.
I told my mum about the abuse, and reported it to the police.
Mum was shocked but supportive. She helped me focus on staying and feeling safe. The police visited my ex to warn him and told me to contact the dating sites. A couple took down the fake profiles, but others didn't respond.
I ended up having to take heaps of leave from my job because of depression and anxiety, but I didn't want to tell my work why I needed leave. In the end, they fired me. I was also forced to break a lease and move house in order to stay safe. For a while, I was living on a disability support pension because of my depression. Throughout all this, my mum has been absolutely amazing. She really stood by me and helped me realise this isn't my fault. I have realised that if I want to move on, I have to start telling people what happened because that way I can get the support I need.
Seeing a counsellor was really important for my recovery – it's something I have to do to get past this. With her help, I am working on a plan to rebuild my life with some training and a new job. Every day I feel a little bit wiser and stronger.
What Priya wants others to know
Be aware of what the red flags are for abusive and controlling behaviour and don't put up with it. If your partner is jealous of your relationships with friends and family, or tries to control who you see and associate with, or limits your world in other ways to only allow in what is important to them, you might be in an abusive or controlling relationship. If I had been able to read the signs more clearly, perhaps I would have left the relationship earlier and protected myself more. I wish I had known what these signs before I let him take photos and video. Even so, knowing how deep his controlling behaviour runs, I now believe if he hadn't got to me that way he would have gotten to me another way.
You have to believe your friends when they tell you it is not your fault.
Don't wait to get help. Everyone who goes through this should get a counsellor who understands – it was the best and most important thing I did. Go and see your GP and ask if you qualify for a metal health plan to get some free sessions with a counsellor.
*Priya's story combines the experiences and emotions of a number of individuals in this situation. Stock photo. Posed by model.
You will find options for support and counselling services below. There are also a number of ways you can take action to try to remove and report abusive images.
May's story
It all started with someone messaging me on Tinder. It was a completely normal chat – we talked for a little bit before exchanging our naked photos – that's the way things sometimes work on Tinder.Read more

OF COURSE I idolised Madonna - who didn't? She was awesome.

Are you fed up with being fat? Obesity is quite common in today's world, but it's not something that you must live with. The following advice can help you create a sustainable weight loss plan. The process can actually be quite simple, and by using these ideas, you will be convinced of that very fact.
A good way to lose weight is to switch a lot of your foods to non-fat. For instance, switch the milk you drink to non-fat milk. Cheese is also very fattening and it's not hard to find non-fat cheese in the grocery store. These simple changes can have a big impact.
When on a weight loss plan, plate your food in the kitchen before sitting down to eat instead of serving food "family style" at the table. You are more likely to plate smaller portions and wait before adding food to your plate. By waiting you allow time to feel full.
Broccoli is a dieter's best friend. This veggie is filled with antioxidants to help you combat weight gain. You can eat broccoli raw, steam it, or simply add it to a salad. Your body will definitely thank you.
Start your dinner with a salad or broth based soup. This will help fill you up and reduce the chance that you overeat. Do not overload the salad with dressing, cheese or meat. Try to choose a lower sodium soup as well. If you do this consistently you will be more successful with your weight loss.
Once you lose a lot of weight, begin throwing out old, baggy clothes. As you get rid of the old clothes, think about how successful you have been so far and look forward to how much further you can go. Also, when your wardrobe leaves you no room to regain weight, that gives you even more reason to reach or maintain your weight goals.
Going for a run on the beach is an excellent way to shed excess pounds. The resistance makes it tougher to run on sand then on grass or pavement.
Every dieter under the sun has heard about portion control and how that supposedly helps you lose weight, but the portion size of your meal isn't nearly as important as the time in which it takes you to eat it. Slow down when you're eating and give your body time to feel full. Your body releases hormones that tell the brain to stop eating, but they aren't released when you woof the food down.
Always plan what and where you are going to eat ahead of time. This will prevent you from making bad decisions because you are too hungry. You can bring a nutritious lunch to work with you, or find a restaurant that has healthy menu options for you to choose from.
There is no magic pill for weight loss. You have to change what you are doing physically and tweak what you are putting into your body. If you will follow our tips, you will find success at effectively losing the weight that you want to lose and keeping it off.

Happy Mothers Day
I remember the very first time I played this song on the radio. It was October, 1979 as I worked on a radio station in Indianapolis, Indiana. I froze as I listened to the lyrics. I turned up the music, sat back and listened to every single word of the Jimmy Dean song.
College graduation had happened only a few months earlier, as had marriage.
Yet this song stopped me in my tracks. It's old. It's worn. It's still true today.
Happy Mothers Day.
Words to Jimmy Dean's I.O.U from 1976. The song reached number nine on the country music chart after its release.
You know most people look through their wallets or their pocket books and, way down at the bottom, past the credit cards and baby pictures and green stamps, you usually find a little 'ol dog-eared piece of poetry.
I was cleaning out my wallet the other day and ran across a whole bunch of I.O.U's, some of 'em thirty years overdue. The funny thing is, that all these I.O.U's are owed to one person and I kinda feel like right now might be a pretty good time for an accountin'.
Mom, you listenin'.
Mom, I.O.U. for so many things....
A lot of services, like nightwatchman for instance..... For lyin' awake nights, listenin' for coughs and cries and creakin' floorboards..... and me comin' in too late. You had the eye of an eagle and the roar of a lion, But you always had a heart as big as a house.
I.O.U. for service as a short order cook, chef, baker.....
For makin' sirloin out o' hamburger an' turkey out o' tuna fish,
And two big ol' strappin' boys out of leftovers.
I.O.U. for cleanin' services,
For the daily scrubbing of face and ears....all work done by hand.
And for the frequent dustin' of a small boy's pants to try to make sure that he led a spotless life. And for washin' and ironin' no laundry could ever do. For dryin' the tears of childhood and for ironin' out the problems of growin' up.
I.O.U. for service as a bodyguard,
For protectin' me from the terrors of thunderstorms and nightmares
Hah, And too many green apples.
And Lord knows, I.O.U. for medical attention,
For nursing me through measles, mumps, bruises, Bumps, splinters and spring fever.
And let's not forget medical advice either oh-no....important things like,
'Don't scratch it, or it won't get well' or 'If you cross your eyes, they're gonna stick like that'.
And probably uh, most important of all is, 'Be sure you got on clean underwear boy, in case you're in an accident'.
And I.O.U. for veterinarian services,
For feeding every lost dog that I dragged home at the end of the rope,
And for healing the pains of puppy love.
And I.O.U. for entertainment.....
Entertainment that kept the household goin' during some pretty tough times.....
For wonderful productions at Christmas, Fourth of July, and Birthdays.....
And for making make-believe come true.....
on a very limited budget.
I.O.U. for construction work, for building kites and confidence, hopes and dreams an'..... Somehow you made them all touch the sky.....
And for cementin' a family together
So it could stand the worst kind of shocks and blows.....
And for layin' down a good strong foundation to build a life on.
I.O.U. for carryin' charges.....
For carryin' me on your books for the necessities of life that a growin' boy's just gotta have. Things like, uh, a pair of high top boots, with a little pocket on the side for a jack-knife.
And one thing, Mom, I will never ever forget....
When there were only two pieces of apple pie left and three hungry people..... I noticed that you were the one who suddenly decided that you really didn't like apple pie in the first place.
These are just a very few of the things for which payment is long overdue..
The person I owe 'em to worked very cheap....
She managed by simply doin' without a whole lot o' things that she needed herself....
My I.O.U's add up to much more than I could ever hope to repay,
But you know the nicest thing about it all, is that....
I know, that she'll mark the entire bill 'Paid In Full'
For just one kiss and four little words....Mom, I Love You!

I've been designing websites for about five years, mostly for small businesses. I firmly believe that every business, no matter how small, needs a website.
It's really easy for me to say that everyone needs a website. Afterall, I'm a web designer; it's in my best interest because someone needs to design all these websites. But a lot of people are starting to realize a website is one of the best investments you can make in your business.
I have run into a lot of small business owners who don't want a website. They don't sell anything online, so they don't think they need one.
Whether your business is a physical store, a service, or an online shopping site, your customers need to be able to find you online.
Websites are not just for selling goods. Your customers are searching for information about your business online. They may just want to know your hours, the services you offer, or directions to your store. They may want to know the products you carry, or even your business philosophy. Maybe they like to shop local, or they really love family-owned businesses. Any reason customers need to find you is reason enough for a website.
The first thing I do when I hear about something cool is search for it online. I like to check out what a place looks like and see what it offers before I wander in, especially if it's a hard place to get to by public transportation. Most of the time I search for businesses, it's to find their hours so I don't spend all that time traveling just to arrive at locked doors. For example, I love going to restaurants. If I can't find a website for the restaurant, I can't find their hours, or even a phone number to call to find the hours. I often end up going somewhere else. You need to make it as easy as possible to find out information about your business.
Make it easy for your customers to share your business. People love sharing their newest find with their friends, whether it's a funny video, an uplifting message, or a neat new store. Sending a link via email or posting a link on a social networking site like Facebook is a really easy way to share your enthusiasm. The way I see it, your goal as a business owner is to grow your business as much as possible. Get as many customers as possible. Get a website. Even a one-paged website will help people find you and spread the word. Excited customers and word of mouth are your best advertising tools.
Even if you don't put up a website, people will still find your business online. Unfortunately, you can't always control what they see. Every business is subject to reviews on Yelp and a growing number of other customer review websites. Make sure you control your brand and tell your side of the story. The first opinion a customer hears when he or she searches online for your business should be yours.
Don't miss out on one of the easiest ways to grow your business. Get started on your website.

Or perhaps I shall back over it with my car, and then advance, and then back over it again. Surely it would crack then, rendering it useless.
Maybe I should plan a stealth operation and paddlenap it, under the cover of darkness, from its resting place in D's toybag.
No matter the method, that paddle has got to go.
I say this without any hint of coyness. There is no love-hate relationship here. My abhorrence of the thick, wooden paddle is pure and unadulterated — I see that thing in D's hand and my blood turns to ice. It's as if everything else in the universe ceases to exist and there is just that paddle and me, in a stand-off.
This morning, after the paddle retreated to the Black Bag of Hell, I searched for evidence of our last battle — a battle from which I tearfully emerged, defeated. I searched under and between my cheeks, everywhere. But there were no marks. There was nothing to indicate how much I hurt, how much I cringed and pleaded with it to cease its relentless assault.
The paddle is mocking me. It is belittling me, reminding me that it hasn't used its full strength yet, its battalion of troops still waiting in the wings. I do not appreciate mockery. I do not appreciate its cowardly attack from behind my back — be paddle enough and face me, woman vs. wood.
I will win. That paddle will be decimated. One day. The gauntlet has been thrown and I will claim my rightful title of "Pink the Great" and all the imps will cheer.
I will go medieval on its ass, like it has on mine, pulling it apart splinter by wicked splinter. And I will laugh my evil laugh as it is reduced to a pile of kindling at my feet.
Die, paddle, die.

Happy Friday, everyone! It's a cold, rainy, gray, blustery day here in Chattanooga, but the weekend is almost here, so I'll take it! I gather from facebook that further north, the rain was (in the words of my sister) a bit whiter and fluffier than what we're getting here. It's not even Halloween yet and the first snow flurries are already flying? Yikes! I wonder what that portends for the winter?
But anyway, in anticipation of the cold weather, last week I made the sad decision that Tomato-zilla would have to be yanked up.
Tomato-zilla was a beast. A self-seeded tomato plant that took over our back yard and gave us hundreds of little cherry tomatoes over the course of the summer:
Over on the right, you can see little bursts of red. That's a poor rose bush struggling for light. Next to it is a normal size tomato plant. But everything else you see there -- from the right edge of the table over -- is all Tomato-zilla. It took me more than an hour to pull it all up and haul it away and when I was done, I was left with lots of tomatoes:
And what does one do when faced with so many green tomatoes? With all due respect to Fannie Flag, you make green tomato salsa!!! Yum!
Have a great weekend, everyone! Stay warm and jolly!

You are here: Wallsend
Wallsend forms part of North Tyneside's local authority, whilst geographically it lies between Newcastle upon Tyne and the coast.
Before being swallowed up in the Tyneside conurbation, Wallsend was a distinct town, and it retains a strong identity. Today's Wallsend has high levels of child and family poverty. These social conditions underlie a wide-range of presenting problems for children and young people, including low school readiness at age five; some children not realising their educational potential; poor health; and youth unemployment.
A group of 13 primary and two secondary schools have joined forces to develop and deliver a raft of activities and services supporting children's needs.
The Wallsend Children's Community believes that to improve outcomes for its children and young people, it needs to be able to provide them with the same 'offer' as those in more advantaged areas.
In response to the area's challenges, local leaders have set out an ambitious vision to build, over a generation, a Wallsend where children and young people have access to exactly the same high-quality chances as those in more advantaged areas.
The collective mission is to create a fully-fledged Children's Community in Wallsend.
This will be comprised of an interconnected network of services for children that cuts across their home, school and community contexts in order to both address multiple problems simultaneously and maximise positive experiences and connects phases of childhood so that no child falls through the gaps between stages or institutions. The three early implementation priorities, where a coordinated approach is considered locally to be particularly needed, are "Getting things right early", "Being fit for life" and "Supporting young people to realise their aspirations".

The Story:
The view from the Bistro encompasses the beauty of Pecan Park Block where the Estate Pinot Grigio is grown. The Pinot Grigio, planted in 2001, is always the first grape harvested in mid-July. The quality of this fruit is consistently exceptional. The resulting Flat Creek Estate Pinot Grigio is a signature wine and an award-winning wine.
The Tasting Notes:
The summer of 2017 was an abundant year in the Texas wine industry. The resulting harvest from our vineyard Estate gave us an extra hundred cases of quality Pinot Grigio. In 2017, we continued our 2016 tradition of aging Pinot Grigio in Russan Oak. The time spent in oak results in a full-bodied wine with a lingering finish. Enjoy with seared scallops and raw oysters!

Running around 1/2 size smaller than the Cosmic Wonder Sandals so if you bought those last year we would definitely recommend going up a size. Check our Size Guide link next to the size selector above to find your perfect size.
You can have this shoe in any colour as long as it's Midnight! In the spirit of sustainability and trying things out slowly, contrary to our industry's standard practice, we have made the decision for you by introducing just the one colour option as a trial on this new shape. Executed through the upper in textured Midnight nylon backed with luxe bronze neoprene for softness and durability through the lining. Considerable, statement buckle at the ankle in classic silver. All finished on super bouncy black EVA Wedge outsole.
We love the more structured vibe of these sandals which still say 'getting things done' despite their playful open toe-ness. Love with an all black outfit for work, especially cropped flares and jersey tees. We also like to play down the more structured mood of this wedge with denims and a clash of camo like wonder woman Minaal shows us here. Also brilliant with satin longline slips and linen anything for summer easy cool.
Not really. Because the upper has been intentionally backed by a sturdy canvas facing to prevent stretch on the ankle straps, these beauties really will hold their shape for years to come.
We recommend wearing these toe tappers with an attitude of love and affection.
Start by waterproofing with a quality spray - we recommend and sell Waproo. If your toe tappers become wet let them dry and dust down with a soft cloth

Always limited edition product.

|Mission Statement and Purpose:
Simply put?
To raise awareness of the gross injustices that pervade our societies worldwide, namely that of the trafficking of men, women, and children for the purposes of sexual exploitation, forced labor, and the use of children for purposes of warfare.
I am by no means an expert, nor do I purport to be one. I am merely a gatherer of information for the sole purpose of educating readers about these topics -- though, I often may inject personal commentary in my posts.
Sometimes, I may go several days (or even over a week) without posting --- this is due to the reality that I maintain this site when time permits. Also, and not uncommonly, I tend to become overwhelmed at times by the sheer volume of information I accumulate and therefore focus my attention on sifting through various articles before I post about them.
Brief Disclaimer:
It is the official position of this website to oppose, in all forms, the legalization of prostitution. Any view mentioned in an article excerpt or reader comments stating the contrary should be attributed to the appropriate author of said view and not the Webmaster.
Though it is my initial belief many of the organizations and/or blogs share the same purpose as Fleshploitation, it is often difficult to fully assess the correct position of all groups, as some may appear unclear (whether intentionally or unintentionally).
It has been my (rather unfortunate) experience that some organizations appear to share the same purpose, but, after closer examination, (vaguely or outright) support the legalization of prostitution as a contemporary and legitimate "profession" (ie: "sex workers"). Some effort has been made to identify such organizations/blogs and remove them from the website's links. If you, the reader, believe you have run across an organization/blog listed whose content/purpose is questionable, please do not hesitate to raise this issue with the Webmaster.
With this being said, please note, organizations and/or blogs listed on Fleshploitation do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the Webmaster nor should said links be considered an endorsement.

FDA approve first artificial iris implant
CustomFlex artificial Iris has been approved as the first stand-alone prosthetic iris. It is composed of foldable medical-grade silicone and is cutomised according to the patient's aspects. It requires a surgical process to be implanted into the eye mainly for iris defects caused by genetic disorders such as congenital aniridia, albinism or traumatic injury in both adult and pediatric patient populations.

Star Systems
There are apparently 21 known star systems in the immediate sector that are inhabited by alien species. The two main races are the reptillians and the humanoids. The reptillians, however, have a slave race known as greys. There is also an abandoned star system, Lyra, and our own contested Sol system.
- Draconian Confederation
- Galactic Federation
- Grey Territory
- Contested / Nuetral Territory
Sirius A
Constellation: Canis Minor
Distance from Earth:
Inhabitants: Humanoid
Planets: Unknown.
The original Sirian race came from Vega. They have a darker skin tone.

You're facing an untenable position — fighting flames on an upper level floor of a multiple-story structure. It's very hot and it's time to exit, but the way you entered is blocked. There's only one way out — through the window and down. With the proper bailout equipment and preparation, this scenario is survivable. Without them, it can be disastrous.
The mantra of the fire service is "hope for the best and prepare for the worst." Fire incidents have steadily declined over the past 20 years, but that can lull us into a false sense of security. The likelihood of finding yourself in a bailout situation may be greater now than ever. Here's why:
Lightweight building materials used in modern construction can burn two to five times faster than materials used in older homes.
Older construction can have substandard work, void spaces, nooks and crannies. Modifications often are made without going through an inspection and permit process. This can make orientation difficult and egress restricted.
The average home has more "stuff" in it than ever before and the materials in our homes have more stored energy than ever before. This means more combustibles per square foot. The fire is going to be hotter and spread faster.
We can't do much to change those factors, but we do have control over our training, preparation and equipment.
The paramount rule of bailout training is prevention. Keep your head on a swivel, always looking for the warning signs. Never put yourself in a position that will compromise you or a member of your team.
The second rule is to know your best options for anchoring and egress. Learn the different techniques and what works best for specific scenarios. Practice until it becomes second nature and stay in practice. Always use fall arrest protection when training.
Inspect your escape system on a regular basis and keep it maintained per the manufacturer's directions. It also is important to keep it a "personal" system. It's a lot easier to have confidence in your system if you're the person who rigged it and maintains it. Use the toothbrush rule — never share it.
The ideal tool for bailing out is a personal escape system that is certified to meet NFPA 1983 Standard on Fire Service Life Safety Rope and Equipment, 2006 Edition. It's important that the entire system is certified, not just the individual components. Remember this a system and needs to perform as one flawlessly. The components of a personal escape system typically are:
Class II seat harness or escape belt.
Life safety rope — A rope dedicated solely for the purpose of rescue.
Load-bearing connectors — Carabineers, rings, quick links or snap links.
Descent device — Friction or mechanical device utilized to control descent on a fixed line.
Tether — Webbing that connects ascent device to a Class II harness or escape belt.
Over the years, I have seen many inventive firefighters develop their own systems using components from a variety of sources, including recreational equipment and hardware store purchases. This type of innovation often has been the genesis for advances in safety equipment and tools. The pioneers of personal escape systems are to be commended for acknowledging the threat and filling an equipment void, but homemade systems are not recommended because of the lack of testing, training, oversight and consistency.
The commercialization of personal escape systems during recent years has delivered an important level of quality control. There are a number of systems available to the fire service certified to meet NFPA 1983, 2006.
Like any other equipment acquisition, the selection of a personal escape system should start with a risk assessment to develop criteria. While each department is unique, the criteria for selecting a personal escape system likely will be based on ease of use, storage and attachment, weight, quality of components and whether or not the manufacturer provides training.
It's paramount for the system to be simple. As a whole, the fire service is not comfortable with rope. It's not a skill we use all the time. If you need to bail out, you don't want to be trying to learn the system in a smoke-filled hot room, nor do you want to put a complex system together while hanging out of a third-story window. You want to be able to anchor the system, clear the window and go.
Storage and attachment — This is a balancing act between three factors. The system must easily be accessible when you need it. If it takes time to get to it and deploy it, it's a hazard you don't want. The system needs to be out of the way when not deployed. You don't want it banging against you or snagging on debris. When not in use, the rope and hardware should be shielded from water, oils, dirt and other contaminants on the fireground or at a rescue scene. A dirty or degraded rope and dirty or corroded hardware are unreliable and dangerous.
Weight — Let's face it, we carry enough as it is.
Quality of components — You want to use a rope, tether and carabineers that have proven track records and are designed to work together.
Training — Make sure training classes are available through your manufacturer. You want to learn how to deploy and maintain your system from people who know it best.
There are two basic types of personal rescue systems: independent and integrated. An independent system attaches to a separate Class I or a Class II seat harness or escape belt. The rope and hardware usually are stowed in a bag that attaches to your harness or escape belt.
An integrated system employs the waist strap of your SCBA as the harness or escape belt. The hardware and rope usually are stowed in a bag that is attached to the SCBA straps or waist belt.
Each unique system has its strengths and weaknesses. There are numerous different options and models available to the fire service. I recently was shown a commercially developed personal escape system that is similar to systems I've seen put together by individual firefighters. The Personal Rescue System from Lion Apparel stows the rescue rope and hardware in a cargo pocket on the turnout pants that is designed to hold personal escape tools and keep them accessible. The inside of the pocket is divided into two compartments — one holds the rescue line, the other the hardware. Plus, it's removable so the pocket works like a drop bag.
To use the system, a firefighter opens the pocket flap and pulls out the pre-rigged carabineer and descender. The carabineer is attached to the lead end of the life safety line.
The carabineer is connected to the anchor, or the firefighter can wrap the rescue line around the anchor and hook the carabineer onto the rescue line itself. The rope is pulled taut and the lever of the descender is engaged as the firefighter backs away from the anchor toward the window. When he or she reaches the window, the pocket should be ripped off the pants leg and tossed out the window. With the descender in the locked position, the window is exited and descent to safety commences.
The chart on the left demonstrates some of the strengths and weaknesses of different types of personal escape systems.
These systems come in a variety of configurations with differing accessories. Prices vary, but any personal escape system is better than not having one at all. The important thing is to make sure the personal escape system you chose is the one in which you have the most confidence.
