We walked out about halfway.

Half-way through this bore I found myself closing my eyes and wishing I were home, reading a good book. The soundtrack is the aural equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. Joaquin Phoenix looks like Martin Short's Ed Grimley minus the wit, and should be awarded the Benicio del Toro Mumble Award. Good luck understanding 90 percent of his dialog. Hoffman is wonderful to watch but his character is alienating and you ultimately don't give a fig for him or any of his Moonie-like true believers. I felt sorry and embarrassed for the women actors who are forced to do a naked scene that is gratuitous at best. This is a pretentious turkey of a movie.

As you learn without doubt when Dodd sings "Slow Boat to China" at the end of the film, this is a love story. Dodd fell in love with Freddy the moment they met. Peggy suspects a budding love affair in the bathroom scene just after Freddy's alcoholic hallucinations of the naked women at the party. In that scene, she warns Dodd not to embarrass her or the Cause with any love affairs (she speaks of other women, not realizing that Freddy is the real threat), while she masturbates him—demonstrating the complete power she has over him, and hinting at the role she will play at the end of the film in pushing Freddy out of the way.
The device of the Cause is the foundation on which this unorthodox love (in the 1950s) can be built without either man being completely aware of it. Like all charlatans, Dodd is well aware of the nonsense he is spouting and the charismatic power he has. He may believe his theories, but he is also knowingly using them to satisfy his ego—the language in Book 2 changing from "remember" to "imagine" shows there is nothing well thought out in his ideas. He uses them to redeem Freddy, though it is made clear that it is his love that does the redeeming—Peggy suspects this and points it out, and in the dining room scene, her doubts about Freddy's belief in the Cause are echoed by her daughter and son-in-law. Why does Dodd not see this? Because he is in love.
The final scene is a rather profound statement about the ambiguities of love and ideas. On the one hand, the nonsense of the Cause is demonstrated by the fact that Freddy uses the "Process" as a pick up line with a girl he's just met in a bar. The film says, "This is really all these ideas are good for." On the other hand, you recall that that Process was part of Freddy's redemption. Those crazy ideas had something to do with it, along with Dodd's love.

Without doubt this movie is intended to make intelligent moviegoers think and think hard about all that they see and hear. There are so many iconic scenes in the movie that one wonders where the artifice leaves off and the story begins. I've seen the movie twice in the span of one week. I spent most of the first screening looking at my watch. I could not believe that so many serious critics view this movie as a work of art, let alone a work of genius. After seeing it a second time, I have come to this conclusion: First, the title of the film is ironic. It is Freddy whom Anderson wants us to root for, not The Master (Lancaster Dodd). The latter is intended to represent the higher powers of our being, while Freddy represents the lower. Second, the relationship between Freddy and Dodd is often that of a son to a father; but at the end, Dodd sings to Freddy in a manner that suggests a homoerotic desire (to be on a slow boat to China, alone, with you). And also in the end, it is Freddy who is redeemed for a moment by a tryst with a bar girl that is strikingly tender and sensual. That moment, the only real sexual intercourse in the film, suggests that it is in our carnality, in giving in to our base, animal instincts that we like Freddy can find fleeting moments of redemption. Anderson can be proud that he has made a film that many viewers and critics are talking about. Joaquin Phoenix surely has a lock on an Academy Award. But this time next year, the memory of this ambitious but deeply flawed movie will have faded from view as well as from our cinematic discussions. And that's the way it should be.

If unrelieved intensity is what passes for great acting in movies nowadays, I'm glad I don't have to make my living as a movie critic. This film can be summed up in three words: "Over the top."

Except for the narrative/story, The Master is an exceptionally crafted film. Beautifully filmed, well-directed, well-acted, and nuanced. Joaquin Phoenix gives an extraordinarily inventive performance as the damaged acolyte. Philip Seymour Hoffman brilliant as the needy charlatan.
The story, on the other hand, is not deep enough, revealing enough, or exciting enough to keep one's interest for too long.
— NightwingNoVA, DC Metro
October 1st, 20126:03 pm
While not wholly able to cohere, The Master does bring to life something of value-- 3 performances (Hoffman, Phoenix & Adams) and an entry into the world of a squalid lost soul.
I experienced it more as a grisly myth than an evocation. Maybe- like Boogie Nights- Anderson is dedicated to following the death spiral of a boys life....but is it a place worth following him ? Great craft- as is often the work of the Coen Brothers & Spike Lee- does not always yield a worthy piece of art. PT Anderson - like Bergaman- fails with sincerity, depth and something interesting.

"The Master," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is a frighteningly complex and historical case study, an elocutionary detoxification lesson, on the merits of free-will in the face of one man's extortions and manipulations on the thoughts and feelings of those around him, specifically, Freddie Quell, played by Mr. Joaquin Phoenix, the only modern-day actor who can, "force his soul so to his own conceit," a frustrated and impressionable drunk not seeking the answer to a question for which none exists, pulled into indoctrination merely out of curiosity, and definitely because he does not know better. Through Freddie we enter a goofy and pseudo-scientific world of pseudo-psychotherapy whose techniques are familiar to any reader of Mr. Sigmund Freud or practitioner of Mr. Lee Strasberg's Method. In the words of the criticizing Mrs. Dodd, given to us by the brilliantly unhinged Amy Adams, "You can't take this life sober," (or something to that effect), I simply ask of the world, who can?
October 1st, 20126:43 pm
No character development. No emotion (except revulsion). Stunning cinematography. set design. Superlative acting. Confusing, confounding and convoluted. I want to be entertained, thrilled, enlightened and FEEL something when I watch a movie. This experience was painful.
— Barbara, San Francisco

Wow. I don't know which film Mr. Scott saw, but great acting aside the one I saw left me with a vastly different impression. The story starts out strongly enough, but gradually dissipates into a series of (too long) disjointed episodes (the desert scene, for example). Editor, where are you? The ending could only have been written by a screenwriter who doesn't have one.

Haven't seen the film yet, it has been in my crosshairs since I first heard about it. The review, in its own right, whether effusive or hyperbolic, is a an extraordinary piece of critical writing. It doesn't resort to the strategy of merely retracing and garnishing or beating the story to a pulp—that is the purpose of the film. It acts as a perceptual prism that diffracts, reflects and transmits light~sound creating its own sensual and imaginary logic . It is somewhat reminiscent of Giles Deleuze's conceptual arguments in his asymmetrical twin volumes: "Cinema I: The Movement Image" and "Cinema II: The Time-Image." It makes for a well focused, condensed and provocative reading, which is the function of a good [excellent] critic.

I saw 'The Master' recently & it was a disappointment. Too much was unexplained. The followers of Dodd (rhymes with GOD) seemed very gullible and we don't get to know them very much except for Freddy Quell (rhymes with HELL) who can barely keep up a coherent conversation. And, Dodd describes himself as an inquisitive man and asks many questions in his 'processing' but has LITTLE curiosity about what Freddy uses in the intoxicating potions that he creates.
The last half-hour especially lacked coherent story telling in my view: what was the point of the motorcycling ? & how does a main character wind up in a movie theatre where an usher brings him a tray with a phone on it, saying someone is requesting to speak to him ? & how did that caller know where to reach him?
Also, the photography did not seem extraordinary, or impressive, as seemed to have been indicated in some reviews.
Yes, the actors were fine but the story line was not well fleshed out in my view.

Waste-of-time disappointing drek. Acting is fine except for Hoffman who is one of the more overrated actors of our time. Wished I had saved time and money. Shame on you A.O.!

Seriously? Unfocused & improvised, though the mind control scenes are mesmerizing, I was not among the patrons who walked out during the film. Can't blame them, though. Wish I'd had a concoction made by Freddy, or whatever A.O. imbibed.

War damages soldiers. Society ignores those damaged by war. Cults attract and welcome damaged people. The movie explores the dynamics of the relationships in the tragic symbiosis. Peculiar, off-putting, and brilliant in its suffocating way.

"The Master" is a film about the shattered American consciousness arising out of the early great wars of the first half of the 20th Century. Following as they did the industrial revolution those wars reached a level of mechanical horror unprecedented in the history of war, annihilating human aspirations of faith and honor, leaving a dreadful empty shell devoid of purpose and consumed by chaos, an absurd condition yearning for direction and meaning. The epic story plays out over the bleak landscape of a broken mind with the characters serving as symbols of different aspects of the mind struggling to recover from the calamity.
To put it in terms of modern psychology, Freddie Quell represents the id, the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest.
Lancaster Dodd symbolizes the ego, the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity.
Lancaster's steely, unforgiving wife, Mary Sue Dodd, swollen with pregnancy and life, symbolizes the superego, the part of a person's mind that acts as a self-critical conscience, reflecting social standards learned from parents and teachers.
Viewed from this perspective the film's narrative progresses logically and makes perfect sense.

At several points during the movie, I felt like walking out - it was that incohenernt and pretentious. As I walked out of the theater in the end, nearly every viewer stared at each other, and said, "What was that all about?". It was totally a waste, uninteresting, and really made no sense. And the more positive reviews were, as I said, completely pretentious. Don't waste your time!! And yes, Freddie Quell's speech was often totally incomprehensible with a strangely twisted mouth that I found myself staring at. BAD

Anderson's high-brow bromance sizzles then fizzles. Someone needs to tell the great auteur to have a full story next time. Not just a beginning and middle. Can't cheat narrative. It's typical of the self-indulgence we've seen from this filmmaker before, most notably in Magnolia.
— Mr. Spock, Vulcan
October 5th, 20124:23 pm
Life is full of disappointments and we have to accept them. This movie is good exercise for that philosophy. Philip Seymour Hoffman is immortal for his work in "Capote" (if you have not seen it your life is diminished) but his role in "Synecdoche" proved that perfect does not exist. Joaquin Phoenix proves that just as all things good can be bad, all things bad can also be good as his hairlip (and its performance) is the only good thing about this movie.
The movie takes wonderful performances, filming, color intensity, soundtrack, and excellence and turns them into too long bombastic boredom. Even lots of purient value is wasted.
And if you want the inside scoop on Scientology which all associated with this movie say it is not about, stay with Tom Cruise rumor mills. You already knew it was goofy.

If you like pretentious, boring and self-important movies, run to this one. What was Scott thinking? And it's without a shred of humor. And tedious. Yes. It is really tedious.

Worst movie I ever saw. I didn't walk out because I was with others, but wished I had. We all said later, that we all wanted to walk out on it, but thought the others might be enjoying it. My friends hated it too. Don't waste your money, time or intelligence watching this waste of money, time and intelligence of the fine actors involved.

Since seeing The Master I have been haunted by its images and music, waking at night to hear "I want to get you on a slow boat to China" or see Joaquin Phoenix, with his twisted mouth and canny eyes looking at Rohrshach slides and seeing only female or male genitalia. A.O. Scott gets Phoenix's character perfectly with "sly, manic ferocity," This isn't your ordinary motion picture, it's a seriously detailed dual character study with all the juicy parts left in. Count me in, too. An indelible film for the ages, and for those among us who are willing to look and listen.

Data on access to finance
The Commission has created tools for analysis and monitoring, but is also committed to collecting data on the prevailing conditions in the loan and equity finance markets in order to make European financial markets more responsive to the needs of small businesses.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 99% of firms in the EU. They provide some 67% of all jobs in the EU.
Given their importance to the EU economy, it is vital to understand the real situation that SMEs are facing when trying to access finance.
The lack of internationally agreed indicators and the scarcity of comparable data make it difficult to accurately assess the situation for small businesses. Therefore, the Commission has created tools for analysis and monitoring.
Commission - ECB surveys on SME finance
The European Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB) decided in 2008 to collaborate on a survey on the access to finance of SMEs in the European Union and established The Survey on the Access to Finance of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SAFE).
SAFE Commission waves published every 2 years: the survey covers all EU countries and other countries participating in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme of the CIP.
SMEs' access to finance 2013:
- Press release [70 KB], Memo [810 KB]
- Analytical report [2 MB]
- Results by business characteristics [653 KB]
- Results by country [698 KB]
SMEs' access to finance 2011:
- Short summary [243 KB]
- Analytical report [2 MB]
- Results by business characteristics [684 KB]
- Results by country [2 MB]
SMEs' access to finance 2009:
- Short summary [39 KB]
- Analytical report [2 MB]
- Annex [12 MB]
SAFE ECB waves– published every 6 months: the survey covers countries in the Euro area.
Earlier surveys:
Access to finance 2005/2006: The European Commission has published in 2005-2006 two Flash Eurobarometer surveys on SMEs' access to finance in the EU countries, a first one for the EU-15 and a second one for EU-10 countries; the same questionnaire was used for both surveys. A common summary [20 KB] is available.
- Survey in the 10 new Member States (July 2006)
- Survey in the 15 old Member States (October 2005)
Eurostat SMEs' access to finance survey (2010/2007)
This survey coordinated by Eurostat covered 25 000 businesses across 20 EU countries, also including information on fast-growing enterprises, the future financing needs of SMEs and perceived factors limiting business growth in the future. It analyses the consequences of the crisis by comparing data for 2007 and 2010 and sketches the outlook for the coming period, 2011 to 2013.
Enterprise Finance Index
The Enterprise Finance Index contains a wide range of data on access to finance across the EU to help policymakers evaluate the effects of policies on small and medium-sized business finance across Europe. Data is available on total volumes, interest rates, the number of operations and beneficiaries. The index includes figures on the use of loans, guarantees, venture capital and business angel finance in the EU and on the use of EU financial instruments.

How To Buy and Store Bulk Foods
Home Hacks
Looking for a way to significantly reduce packaging waste? A visit to your local bulk bin offers this, plus the opportunity to save money, to buy only what you need, and to try new foods with minimal investment. Here's how to go about scooping and and storing…
What You Need
Containers or bags for shopping and storing
1. Locate a bulk food seller near you. Bulk bins may be found at supermarkets, health food stores, and co-ops, and buying from them is often cheaper than buying packaged foods. Check that the bins are clean and well-maintained and look for signs of high turnover, which means the food will be fresher.
2. Bring a reusable container (if permitted). Bringing your own container cuts down on plastic bag waste and you might even store the food in the same container without having to transfer it when you get home. We like using clean glass jars, cotton bags, or nylon ripstop bags. If the store doesn't have a clearly stated policy, check with customer service or a cashier.
3. If using your own container, determine the tare weight before filling it. In order to deduct the weight of the empty container, called tare weight, some stores let you weigh it yourself, while others require you to take it to a cashier. If you reuse the same container often, you might write the weight directly on it so you don't have to weigh it every time.
4. Write down the code. For each item, take note of the code on the bin and write it down for the cashier. Depending on your container and the store's policy, you may write the code on the container, on a sticker or twist tie, or on a separate piece of paper. For your own benefit, you may want to label the item with the name as well as the code.
5. Practice good etiquette. Use the scoops provided and do your best to keep the area clean. If you accidentally spill something, notify an employee. And avoid the temptation to snack from the bins!
6. Properly store the food in your pantry. Most bulk foods should be stored in airtight containers, so transfer them if necessary. You might use empty food jars, store-bought food storage containers, Mason jars, or one large container for smaller bags. Label the contents of each container using a marker, sticker, piece of masking tape, etc.
Additional Notes:
• Buy only the quantity you need and have space to store. Over-buying may lead to stale and wasted food. This is especially the case with nuts, which can go rancid, and spices, which can lose their potency.
• Bulk bin shopping is a great way to try new foods, as you can purchase a small quantity of spices, grains, etc.
• When we get home from the store, we like to place dry goods like flour in the freezer for 48 hours to kill any pests. (We do this with all grocery store grains, not just those from the bulk bins.)

Was that first photo taken at Food For Less? They had birds flying around inside, which is why I stopped shopping there.
I remember as a child seeing birds in Food for Less too! This was in northern California. At the time I though it was neat and the perfect place for a bird to reside- what more could a bird ask for? But now I don't think I would shop at a grocery store housing birds. The picture looks like it might have been taken at Whole Foods.
I thought it looked WF, too. Sometimes the big grocery store I go to has birds inside (at least I hear them) I figure they fly in during the loading/unloading of the trucks. Big open space to fly into.
such a great idea! i use tons of bulk and ridiculously enough, i've never thought about bringing our containers with us...i just dump them in when i get home and recycle the plastic bag/container from the store...NAUGHTY! what was i thinking? also...really trying to re-vamp our pantry...any hints on making THAT part of the house more organized! cheers
...ever tried getting a bird *out* of a warehouse?
Thanks for bringing this up! It's also a great way to save money, especially with spices. I used these little tins I bought on line for less than $1 a piece: http://www.zomppa.com/2010/02/07/spice-it-up/
Emily: This may be a stupid question, but could you please give some examples of signs of high turnover? I'd love to take advantage of the lower cost/packaging of bulk foods, but I usually shy away from them as I can't be assured of their freshness. Thanks!
I shop at Rainbow Grocery in SF and I bring all my own bottles and spice containers, canisters. I buy my olive oil, cooking oil, all my spices, rice, syrups, honey, teas, etc.
I even refill lotions and bath salts in my own bottles.
I pretty much don't have any packing to recycle. I find this is the best way for spices because you buy what you need instead of having to buy one spice you will use once.
I get premium organic extra virgin olive oil I can fill a large glass jug for much less than a 16 oz off the shelf type.
I reuse my plastic bags for produce a and other bulk things.
Its a bit of a pain because you need to weigh your containers at the weight counters and put the weight on little stickers then fill them up, but the pay off is huge.
I like Trader Joes for maybe two to three things but I do not shop there on a regular basis because of all the packaging.
I've never heard of the idea to freeze dry goods to kill pests. I'm going to try that!
I just had a bad experience last night with some sunflower seeds I bought from the bulk bin at a major grocery store. I only needed 1/2 cup so this was a convienent way to go. I was toasting the seeds in a small skillet and saw something moving it was a small worm and on a closer look I found 2 more worms. If I had not been toasting them and just got them for eating I am sure I would not have noticed them........be sure to inspect very carefully!!!
@deblunic -- Picture a semi-relaxing bus ride...I take out my bag of roasted cashews (bought from bulk). As I munch on them, I notice something kind of weird and strandy on one of the nuts. I look into my bag of nuts, and there are worms crawling around! Eek!
Sorry for this unsavory mental image, but it really does pay to inspect the bulk foods not only before you buy, but before you eat as well!
Btw, I buy my nuts from sealed containers only now.
Glass/plastic containers filled with bulk goods get heavy very quickly. I don't think any of the bulk places near me would allow for people to bring in their own containers. I could see people taking advantage of that to cut cost by "under weighting" their containers.
@Khurt - most bulk places actually weigh your container for you. That way they can verify the weight themselves.
I have gotten worms in several of my bulk items lately. And I haven't had them long. My rye flour, my quinoa, my corn meal, etc. It's disgusting! I had loved buying thing in bulk for all the reasons mentioned (price, less packaging, buying exactly the amount you want, etc.), but I'm really starting to re-think buying bulk given I've been throwing a ton of stuff out due to worms.
So once they're in the freezer and you kill the pests you now have DEAD worms/bugs in your flour? I'm not sure that's any more appealing!
Seems like a few folks here are having issues with insects/larvae and find the best method of how to store bulk food. There's a few way's to deal with this problem. One is to freeze the bulk food for 24 hours (minimum) OR you can simply use some oxygen absorbers to remove the oxygen from the air leaving only nitrogen. Buying in bulk is the most cost effective form of grocery shopping and great to have food on hand. Don't let a few bad experiences turn you off!
I used to be pretty freaked out by the occasional bug. Until I found half a worm in the head of broccoli I was eating. After swearing off broccoli (my favorite veggie) for four months I made peace with the half of worm I ate. Now I just check my food thoroughly and the occasional meal worm gets thrown out without incident. If it didn't kill the Elizabethan's it won't kill me.

~Summer's Eve ~
I am a woman!
I am proud-
I am everything you want.
Plus more
The adoring wife,
A beautiful mother,
A grandmother a granddaughter
A daughter, a sister,
A lover, the aunt.
Your enemy, your friend.
I am the working lady.
A widow left behind.
The Spawn of Adam's rib-
A mentor throughout this world.
A lady with class, sometimes a material girl.
A flower, and the sound of rain.
I am the color of the rainbow.
I am deeper than the sea.
I am the pink ribbon you wear.
I am delicate like snow.
The sun and the moon in your eyes.
A twister during dark skies.
The Daughter of Eve-
And, here is the only feeling I want to endorse.
Summer's Eve.
In honor and appreciation to all the women of the world.
Happy Mother's day!
There you go again little Sly fox P.D.
Another game of tag and jeopardy.
Clever, clever, little fox so bloodthirsty.
Chaos roams through your veins of liberty.
You walk the ground, prancing around your hostility.
Marching down with the dignity of mis-guided anarchy.
I'm gonna hunt you smell end it well.
Hang you up from your trophy tail.
Kiss your night one last farewell.
By morning dawn your foxy tail,
Won't live another tale to tell.
I'm gonna find ya' ~ pull your hideout from where you hide.
Smack you around in your everyday rebellious ways.
Thinking you can defeat my crowd with your lawlessness..
I don't need no hounds to track your unlivable Holy-mess.
You created a selfish character of kindness for the blindness.
You prey on the sheep's and linger on their wall of hopelessness.
Your sinfulness grew from the boldness, and bitterness,
Of growing up parent-less.
My dear Sly Fox are you on alert with your ears of nobleness.
Did you not hear me creeping while you were sleeping.
Sly fox the destroyer!
You are right, you are a mischievous game of hunt!
My trap is set and waiting for you by the river front.
Go ahead, take a drink, pull one last obnoxious stunt.
Run and run, as fast as you can!
You can't out run this one game of Skitty Skat fox hunt.....
~My Tricycle~
Christmas eve,
I could not help but peek.
There it was, a blue and pinkish bike.
With streamers all for me...
A ride, I wanted to feel inside.
A surprise, I ruined for my eyes.
The joy I felt, a naughty kid like me could not hide.
Running back into my room, jumping with glee.
Waiting and waiting...............................................
Christmas day, comes to life.
I'm all excited.. With the biggest grin...
Mommy walks me to my bike.
My grin slowly fades away.
A red tricycle, I start to cry.
I did not understand, why my older sister got the pretty bike.
My Christmas, ruined by a ruby red tricycle.
Mommies, hug did not comfort me.
I cried all night, and asked my daddy'
"How can this be?"
"It's not fair!"
"it's not fair!"
Daddy, had only one response..
"Sweetie, soon you will see."
New Years Eve**
I sit near the windowpane.
Staring at my sister ride her blue pinkish bike.
Even the streamers were laughing at me.
Night fall comes around..
It's cold and everyone is asleep.
I sneak my way into the barn.
I stare at it~
My sisters bike!
The smile on my face, I still can't erase.
"This bike will be mine tonight."
I grab the bike by the handles bars.
I walk the bike under the stars.
Two hours pass, and still I can't operate the pedals.
Finally I remove my shoes, and reach the pedals with my toes.
I'm off into the night, than suddenly I fell upon them rocks.
If only I waited for that push from daddy's hands.
:To Be Continued:
Lesson not learned,
My scars all accounted for.
To be called ..
~ Grandma is a Honor ~
I have been blessed with 4 Grandchildren
~ one lays in Heaven " Kaleb " He is God's Angel ~
~ His twin brother he will always watch over , and be in his soul~
For he loved his Brother so much in the womb ,
he chose Heaven which gave life to his twin
~ I feel his spirit when I see the other Grandson ~
Time passed another gift to see
we are " Mickes" and Loved
Our Dad held the title in Baseball
~ that's how we roll ~
those children are Grandmas hero's
The Irish they love big and Family is everything
The brothers will protect the beautiful sister
~ as many lads will be calling ~
Every time my Grandson hits a home run
There will be a Angel watching proudly in the stand
It will be as if the Angel lifted him when he runs
~no one runs faster then my Grandson~
either baseball or Art ~ you shall find your gift given
These children have been blessed~
~ a beauty to hard to describe
If you think not ~~ Take a look at the Mom
That girl can stop Traffic
after raising three and still~
"Inspired by the gift and loss of Grandchildren "
May our precious " Kaleb " softly rest where Angels only Dwell
I suck at dying poems
Chemo poems, Metastatic Cancer poems,
Hair falling out in the shower poems
And I told a half truth
When I told you I could write you one
In less than six months (It's been eight)
I apologize for being so late
I wanted your poem to be pink and graceful
Like those ribbons
I see all over the internet
Filled with cheesy generic rhymes
That read like a Hallmark audition
But already my metaphors are melting
And my similes are getting soft
I guarantee you the rhyme meter will be off
When I went to Google
And the typed in the word 'happy'
Three billion links came up
Not a single inference to
Breast cancer, hair loss
No redirects to mastectomies
Yahoo wasn't any kinder
The only thing research could teach me
Is that a good day on chemo
Is when your stool doesn't come out tar Black
And has no blood in it
Or when your urine
Smells better on Wednesday
Than it did on Tuesday
Sleeping less than 12 hours
When 24 would be better
America has more poets
Than it does alcoholics
And Pot smokers combined
And you chose me to be
Your Breast Cancer
Poet Laureate
Trusting me to write a poem
About the biggest battle in your life
So I refuse to finish this poem
Without something bright and hopeful
And don't think
I didn't notice your Facebook activity
Had decreased by 88%
In the last three months
And you aren't really
Coming to any more of my poetry shows
Ever again. Are you??
But we still have March, April
Don't we?
But even if you had one breast
Or no breast
Or if you had less hair than I do
I promise to look only in your eyes
And never ever even notice
Or even think about it
And never for a moment
Would I feel sorry for you
Yes I suck at lying too...
But I don't suck at loving you
Or at hoping you wake up tomorrow morning
With no Cancer at all
And that The Eiffel Tower will be right outside
Your bedroom window...
And I would be right there with you
Holding your hand while we look down on Paris
And you can impress me with your French again
And if I ever make it
To the Pulitzer Poetry board
I might lose a thousand points
Just for this poem alone
And my hopes for the prize will be smitten
And some old person
With white hair will say
That was the worst love poem ever written
Don't leave me hanging sis !
I came out of no where with an agenda on the mind.
Joining the soup to be near my favorite one
knowing she is not hard to find
a game I did not plan to play
Until he called upon the first round.
giving it my best shot
than came round three and more.
The poets here I started to explore
Not taking my poetry seriously
The writing just happen naturally
now I see why she visits everyone at the soup.
My sister who puts on a show with words
Is adored by her very own group
the Destroyer was my pet name
She gave me when I was young
So envious of her, I broke the head of her only dolls.
using her poetry was the way she tortured me
sitting me down while she read me her cr@p
In side me she bestowed a poet of mischief
Killing and teasing my mind with words
enjoying all her flow
until I do not see her glow
did she abandon me this one person I adore
If you can help me find my sister on this site
I beg you to tell her it was just a stupid fight
So if you can please go tell her.
All of you know her by the name of............
(((for contest**Leave me hanging)))
~What Make A Best Friends~
Best friends are hard to find
Just like among the lovely stars at night we've to pick the best one
A priceless gem of God's Loving Divine.
I finally found you Linda (aka pd)...
My heart is in triumph
My desolation is gone
You're not only like a star, but my rising sun
Someone who tenaciously raises me up when I'm down.
When a shroud of gloom hangs over me,
You cheer me up
Whether you are far or near
Your listening ears give me a breath of wind.
You offer the loveliest rose in your garden
Smile…. Laugh and cry with me
One of those who anchors to the fulfillment of my dream
Hone-in-on to a friend's sake
Offers a mighty shoulder to lean on
Or to stand to see further. --From: L.G.
-A dearest sis, from heaven send-
I share my muse, with your beating friendship
Never would I force you to answer or say something
When I'm hurt or crying, or feel like my life is over
Just knowing you are there listening, brings comfort--
--Whether you are near or far
I know you will be there caring in every step of the way
In you I see a woman who highly respects herself
A beautiful person who goes a long way, making others feel the light
I would never trade you for someone who can't prance and dance like you
Your best quality, comes from being yourself no matter who's around
This is how I know, you have the perfect ingredients
Of what makes a special best friend
So, fun, unique and interesting, Leonora you are so sweet
You understand, with support, you carry a soul of trust and beauty
You were there through my good times and bad
A positive shoulder to cry on
Without casting judgment on the things I've done,
I smile with glee, enjoying your sincerity
Leonora, my BFF, I hope you don't mind that I gave my secret away
The perfect ingredients, of what makes a best friend. --By: P.D.
Jan. 10-17,2014
- collaboration poem of Linda/PD and Leonora
~ It's again my great honor to have been invited to collaborate with my most all time favourite, my greatest poet, loving poet sis and forever BFF, PD/ Linda. She's a very special poet sis & friend/BFF of mine . I'm in tears of joy to know that I'm also special to her. Word's are inadequate to thank you enough for everything my dearest sis! My biggest & loveliest hugs ever to u! Lovem4evr sis & BFF Leo
Since first I saw you, it was your eyes,
mesmerizing, your gaze transporting
me to a realm, not of fantasy, real,
where young men go when cupid's
arrow takes root.
Since first I saw you, it was your lips,
captivating, holding me frozen
in anticipation of our lips brushing
for the first time.
Since first I saw you, it was your voice,
a crescendo, light, invigorating,
each word you speak intensifies
my hearing, enveloping each
note, time ceases as I hang motionless
savoring, memorizing.
Since first I saw you, it was your hair,
long, flowing, gently rising above
your shoulders as a slight breeze
passes through sending waves
of your essence my way.
The sun magnifying each strand,
highlighting the minute
variances of invigorating color,
creating a halo effect, a portrait of
your beauty forever imprinted.
Since first I saw you, It was you,
my love forever more for you,
only you.
I never told my mother the truth
about the autumn night my sister died
The sad secret that churns in my soul
struggling to escape holding my breath hostage
Wakened by a sound puncturing the silence of our sleeping room
Our bedside clock with numbers that flipped every minute
bore a dim glow illuminating the time 12:16
Gentle moonlight drifting through the window
fell on my sister sitting on the side of her matching bed
Her auburn curls tangled and frizzy sea blue eyes glazed with sleep
She coughed into cupped hands
A hard cough racking lungs clenching her chest
I threw back covers dropped bare feet onto a cool wooden floor
headed for our mother's room
She waved a hand as coughing eased shook her head
Said she was all right didn't need Mom
Slid back into bed on her side facing me
Snuggled her head into the pillow with one arm curled under
The other arm lying on top of the covers hand curled under her chin
Closed her eyes
Clock numbers flipped to 6:00 am time to get up for school
She still lay in the same position skin now drained of color
Once rosy cheeks paled as if buried in a sudden snowfall
Her hand cold where I grabbed it to shake her awake
Stiff joints locked in place
My screams locked in place
banging against clenched teeth drawn lips
At thirteen I couldn't imagine what to do with guilt
that descended on me like a sodden wool blanket
It was too heavy to fold and lay aside
Knew I couldn't survive if Mom knew my secret
That I slept peacefully while my sister her first born child
slipped away beyond our reach
Images flooded my mind of Mom's soft loving eyes
hardening with hate her comforting touch withdrawn
Some actions cannot beg forgiveness
Mom has gone now to be with my sister
But I am not worried
My big sister always kept our secrets
As I sit upon the cloud, my sister SPIRIT, we shall call ---- " ALWAYS "
Visits : bringing Her inner Soul with Virtue of the Heart ---- FOREVER
I believe I know YOU from " Yesterday " Please help me --- REMEMBER
As She spoke : the Lyric of Her voice : brings memories ----- I

A beef with meat
Ethicist suggests a 50% tax on meat to make Americans and environment healthier
Yes, Singer is proposing a meat tax. Eating meat isn't good for your body or the world in general, he writes in the New York Daily News. Taxing it would help.
Meat eating also wastes food, he writes. Animals consume huge amounts of grains and soybeans, but Americans only eat certain parts of the animals. "We get back only a fraction of the food value we put into them," he writes. Finally, agricultural runoff pollutes rivers and streams.
Bottom line, he writes, is that meat-eaters push costs on everyone. We pay higher health insurance premiums to help care for them. We see more pollution and global warming issues because of meat production.
"Let's start with a 50% tax on the retail value of all meat, and see what difference that makes to present consumption habits," Singer writes. "If it is not enough to bring about the change we need, then, like cigarette taxes, it will need to go higher."
Singer's idea is "meating" quite a bit of resistance.
Beef isn't like tobacco, which contains nicotine, or like sugary sodas, which have little nutritional value, writes David Farkas of Chain Leader magazine.
"Beef for better or worse is a fundamental part of our food culture," Farkas writes. "Professor Singer: Taxing its purchase is wrong."
A panel scoffed at the proposal on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program Monday.
"I want to live that way," said host Joe Scarborough about eating meat. "That's up to me."
"You can eat your darned Big Mac," responded host Mika Brzezinski. "I just want you to pay a few cents more to help equalize the health care costs."

Hello all,
So for the last day or so I've been browsing your page, and before I introduce myself I have to tell you how impressed I am with how kind and supportive you seem to be for each other. That is exactly what I am looking for in a forum.
Anyways, so about me. I don't have a monumental story, I guess it's just pretty ordinary. My husband and I have been married for about 4.5 years. Great years! We always knew we eventually wanted babies but for the longest time it was like "ok where can we eat where there will be no kids... or where can we vacation where it's mostly adults". AND THEN that biological clock started ticking and I find myself cooing at every little baby and bawling in the theater if child so much as scraped his knee in the movie(ok maybe not that crazy).Anyways it became very clear that it was time. We built a new house and immediately afterwards got pregnant. Can't ask for much more!!! My edd is Nov 14th. And we're SO excited! Looking forward to sharing high points and I'm sure some low points with all of you here.

Certificate in Disability Legal Studies: FAQ
Questions about the Certificate in Disability Legal Studies Program? Look below for our most frequently asked questions.
Are Certificate in Disability Legal Studies Program courses regular law school courses?
With one exception, all of the course in the Disability Certificate Program are the same courses you would take if you were studying to become a lawyer in the JD program. The exception is Introduction to Law and Legal Reasoning.
Who will benefit from the Certificate in Disability Legal Studies Program?
This certificate program is geared toward those working in the administration and provision of disabilities programs. Administrators, educators, health practitioners, advocates, social workers, architects, city planners, attorneys and business leaders, among others, could potentially benefit from this program's instructional content.
May I take the Certificate in Disability Legal Studies if I am a JD student?
The Certificate in Disability Legal Studies is not open to JD students. Students in other graduate or professional degree programs may enroll in it, and professionals not currently in a degree program may enroll in it.
Are there required courses in the Certificate in Disability Legal Studies Program?
Yes. Students enrolled in the certificate program are required to take four core courses.
- Introduction to Law and Legal Reasoning (3 credits)
- Health Law and Policy (3 credits)
- The Law of Disability Discrimination (2 credits)
- Torts* (4 credits)
*Or another first-semester required course if the Certificate Director deems it preferable for a particular student's interest
These four courses total 12 of the 15 credits needed for the certificate. Additional information and descriptions are available on the required courses page.
How many other courses do I need to take?
The remaining 3 credits (minimum) may be satisfied by any of the following (or similar) courses which are offered as instructor availability permits:
- Bioethics and Law
- Elderly and the Law
- Education Law
- Employment Discrimination
- Employment Law
- Healthcare & Civil Rights Seminar
- Mental Health Law
- Nonprofit Tax Exempt Organizations
- Worker's Compensation
In addition, students may select any other School of Law course with the permission of the instructor and the Certificate Director.
Will I get any advice and guidance in the courses I should take?
Yes. The Director of the certificate program, Professor Alan Meisel, will serve as your faculty advisor and will work with you on your course selections.
Do I have to go to school full time, or may I obtain the certificate on a part-time basis?
Students in the certificate program can complete the certificate requirements in one year or students electing to complete the certificate on a part-time basis will have up to 3 years to complete the requirements.
When are courses offered?
All courses are offered between 8:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Courses are not offered in the evening or on weekends or during the summer.
How much work will there be for students in this certificate program?
All courses in the certificate program require students to engage in rigorous class preparation and study. Classes meet for 50 minutes per credit each week, so that a 3-credit course usually meets for three 50-minute periods (although a course might meet for a single three-hour period).

Purchase "Canada and the Second World War: Essays in Honour of Terry Copp" Geoffrey Hayes, Mike Bechthold, and Matt Symes, eds.
"Canada and the Second World War: Essays in Honour of Terry Copp" (Geoffrey Hayes, Mike Bechthold, and Matt Symes, eds) was launched at this year's Canadian Military History Colloquium. The volume, four years in the making, is a fitting tribute to Terry's tireless teaching, research, and writing that has challenged generations of Canadian students, scholars, and veterans.
The study of Canada and the Second World War continues to challenge, confound, and surprise. In the questions it poses, the evidence it considers, and the conclusions it draws, this important collection says much about the lasting influence of the work of LMCSDS director and professor emeritus Terry Copp.
Some of Canada's foremost Social, Cultural, and Military historians – colleagues, friends and former students of Terry's – consider a wide range of topics under five headings: The Homefront, The war of Scientists, The Mediterranean Theatre, Normandy/Northwest Europe, and the Aftermath. The collection features articles from historians including:
- Cynthia Comacchio – full time member of the WLU History faculty
- Roger Sarty – full time member of the WLU History faculty
- Lee Windsor (MA at Laurier) – Deputy Director of the Gregg Centre at the University of New Brunswick
- Mark Humphries (BA, MA at Laurier) – assistant professor (tenure track) of History at Memorial University
- Jim Wood (PhD at Laurier and Gold Medal Winner)
- Andrew Iarocci (MA at Laurier) – now CAS at Laurier and other institutions
- Randy Wakelam (PhD at Laurier) – professor at RMC
- Michelle Fowler (MA at Laurier)
- Angelo Caravaggio (PhD at Laurier) – Canadian Forces Staff College
- Jonathon Vance (Post-doc at Laurier) former CRC at Western
This collection also has a forward by John Cleghorn, FCA. OC.

Do you have a job where you can save up days off, sick days, and holidays you don't use, to get a cash payout and also add years to your pension when you leave? It's a rarity in the public sector, but it's happening in the city of Phoenix.
Tuesday night, the city council had a chance to stop some of the practices that many city residents and taxpayers have grown tired of paying for.
It didn't happen. Two proposals that would have done little to fix the problem didn't have the votes needed, and a third proposal that would have delved into the issue was not allowed a vote.

- Food is always amazingSurprisedVIPDined on 9/19/2014The food here is always good, actually amazing. However, I am now seeing what everyone is saying ... They do have existing servers that are awesome, but our girl was new. She apologized for not filling drinks or following our instruction to get steak out so we could have a guest with a gluten allergy eat. He sat for an hour and a half with no food. We reminded her 4 times and she appeared not to care. She then said sorry, she should have rung in earlier but she got busy. Brutal. Worst service we've ever had here. Too bad. We love it here, but service has declined dramatically from the perfection they had. We will try it once more in Oct, but if they drop the ball, I don't think the food makes up for such awful service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never fails to pleaseRoadgoddessDined on 9/16/2014I love the simple, beautiful menu. Always a pleasure to eat here.Special Features:
- Calgary favoriteHolodnyVIPDined on 7/12/2014Consistantly superior dining experience. Food best shared over several cources and eaten family style.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/30/2014Been here a few times, and I've never had anything that's blown me away. I had battered cuttlefish for an appetizer, and the batter was undercooked and mushy. The pasta course was excellent, but my main (fish crusted with fennel) was underwhelming. I gave 3 stars because my friend loved what he ordered but if it were just me, it would have been 2 stars. Our server seemed distracted. Made a minor error with our drink order, was attentive through the first 2 courses then just seemed to disappear. It took us 20 minutes to get the bill, then another 15 minutes before he came back to run our credit card through.
- Great Food and ServiceWLAWDined on 6/23/2014The food and service at this restaurant is awesome the only thing that ruins it is the hostess. The first time they told us it would be a 45min,only to have the hostess to call me back 10 min later and tell me there is a table available. This time my wife had a torn back muscle and they seated us at a bar table, so she was uncomfortable. I asked if we could sit at a normal table but the hostess told us that it was reserved and that the person specifically asked for that table. I had also made a reservation and couldn't choose what table I sat at. After about an hour I looked at the table of 6 that I asked to sit at and the hostess had pulled the table apart and sat a group of 3 and 4 in 2 separated tables.Special Features:
- Bad serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/22/2014Our table wasn't ready when we arrived although we had a reservation. When asked the hostess if she could seat us somewhere else and she was very rude to us and told us NO even though there were other tables available. Our server hardly spoke to us and didn't crack a smile the entire time. After he gave us our bill he never returned to our table to offer us more water although we stayed for another 45 minutes. He seemed like he just wanted us to leave. The food was mediocre at best. I will not be going back to the restaurant again.Special Features:

- Lively!KimnickeDined on 6/19/2014Very loud and full of life. Not the greatest place to have good conversation. Menu a bit confusing. Waiter helped us but we still ended up with something that we didn't expect. They did credit our bill though but seemed annoyed that we didn't understand the menu. Didn't feel rushed. Food was excellent. Have been there before. Food is always great but I would prefer quieter place.Special Features:
- Mercato MissionScourtDined on 6/16/2014Absolutely fantastic service and great food however since they have changed their menu to the new summer menu it seems as though portion sizes are smaller. I've been to mercato before and ordered the same number of dishes and have had to pack food up because we didn't eat it all. This time around we ate everything and left a bit hungry......Special Features:
- great atmosphere and great foodbella17Dined on 6/15/2014We had a lunch here recently with our two children and really enjoyed every moment. The waitress was friendly, extremely efficient and knowledgeable and gave really good advice with our menu choices. The food was excellent and we will definitely be going back again.Special Features:

- Excellent!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/5/2014Took the family for a birthday dinner. Food, service, wine selection was excellent.Special Features:
- An ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/2/2014It was our first experience at Mercato's and we were seated at the Italian Style counter across from the cooks and grill. There was only 2 of us and we were side by side which was fine. It was interesting to watch the cooks. After a while, it did get pretty warm and my husband was hit by salt flying off the grill. The waiter explained the menu and it was an interesting concept, choosing one item from each category. It would of been nicer to have more people so we could of tried more dishes. The pasta was excellent as well as the bruschetta and tiramisu. I would definitely go back with a group of people.Special Features:
- Wonderful experience!GloriaDined on 5/1/2014Loved everything about this place! Have been here before and always enjoyed it. I just had a birthday lunch there and was greeted with warmth! Thank you, victor!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HolodnyVIPDined on 4/26/2014As usual excellent food. Wine list is on the expensive side.Special Features:
- Mis-steaktreschicDined on 4/25/2014Our steak was overdone and when we complained, the cook took umbrage and challenged us. We got a new one, but after some frustrating banter with our waiter.
- Too noisyHoustonEatsVIPDined on 4/25/2014This place would be fantastic if you could actually hear what your dining companions had to say. The recent renovation created many more seats...and that much more noise. There is no sound dampening and everyone I've brought here to enjoy a meal has said they will not return because of the noise. Reservationists were absolutely wonderful and flexible - could not have been nicer - but servers can be a bit surly. The place is always packed so clearly I'm in the minority of people who want a dining experience which leaves their hearing and voice intact.
- Outstanding good and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/11/2014Dedicated to delivering an authentic Italian experience, with each course we were engaged in the history, flavours and all that is Italian about food, wine and celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TOO Much SALTotisDined on 4/6/2014All the food was heavily salted and had aggressive amounts of oil. Service was like deli service-not smooth. Wine list was their own stock and lacked variety from other parts of the world, .....overall B- rating. Seems to be slipping and living off their laurels. OTISSpecial Features:
- Great Food ExperienceRandallDined on 4/5/2014Loved everything about this restaurant. Do make an reservation!! This place has very good service, the waiter was VERY knowledgeable and helpful picking out a wine pairing for our food, and really easy to talk to. The food was fresh and serving sizes were more than enough. The atmosphere was great, we really loved sitting at the bar overlooking the Chef's preparing our dishes. The market place was a great idea as well! Will definitely come back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oustanding serviceericalumlumDined on 3/31/2014In our group there was a lot of dietary restrictions and the waitress was very non-judgemental, patient and helpful in selecting a suitable meal and offered to make modifications to what is on the menu or even suggestions for things that were off the menu. We found this to be exceptional and had not had such a positive experience at any other restaurants like Mercato. The food was wonderful and satisfying. I would definitely recommend Mercato!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Sunday Lunch at MercatoGlobalFoodieDined on 3/16/2014I took my my family out for a Sunday lunch at Mercato. It was everyone's first time here and the food was amazing. The service was lacking big time in comparison to other restaurants we frequent. Our waiter seemed a bit bothered to have to be doing his job. We had tiramisu for dessert which was just ok but other than that everything was deliscious and we will defiantly be back and hopefully have a different waiter!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food was adequate, not overlyfoodishoneDined on 3/14/2014food was adequate, not overly flavourful. appetizers arrived late -- after main course in fact and only after we asked on the whereabouts. service was very slow. honestly, better italian out there at any number of places. i like the take-out from mercato much better than in service food.
- Let down by my all time favorite.DissapointmentDined on 3/12/2014What a mess, poor service, over cooked steak, mistake on the first course, over crowded, mistake on bill, very disappointed by what is normally one of my favorite places to eat in the city.

- Don't believe the hypeWalkerVIPDined on 3/1/2014I have been to Mercato a number of times going back many years. This time was the last time for a while. From the hostess seating us at a seat that wasn't available, to the waiter screwing up our order, and the food not being anything special this was an underwhelming experience. And it is expensive. I would recommend if you plan on going out for a nice dinner, try another place. There are lots without the chip on their shoulder like Mercato seems to have.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Gymnastics For All
Club Search
KinderGym is Gymnastics Australia's movement program for children aged five years and under.
One of the great things about a KinderGym program is that parents or carers, can share in their child's wonderful adventures. Adults are encouraged to accompany their child throughout each lesson to support their learning and have fun together.
The KinderGym program will be guided by an Accredited Leader to ensure that the equipment set-ups are safe, stimulating and provide endless movement opportunities for each child to play and learn. KinderGym will assist your child in development and co-ordination, confidence and self-esteem.
Educational research tells us that children learn best through exploring and discovering their abilities through physical activitiy. Gymnastics Australia's KinderGym program ensures infants can experience a wide range of movement activities and be encouraged to think, create, construct and solve problems with their own bodies.
KinderGym Guiding Principles
The KinderGym Guiding Principles are intended to set the framework by which Gymnastics Australia may endorse an affiliated club's kindergym program. Clubs wishing to gain endorsement will be required to adopt and accept the KinderGym Guiding Principles in order to conduct KinderGym programs.
