Company Profile
Platinex Inc. is a Canadian mining exploration company. The Company's priority is to further explore its highly prospective gold property in Ontario's emerging Shining Tree gold camp. Platinex has an active drill and surface program underway at Shining Tree. Two key targets are to expand the known size of the Herrick gold deposit and to locate and define the sources of the exceptionally anomalous glacial gold train on the property.
The Company also has an unique $10 million PGE exploration research library covering exploration on 40 large layered intrusions in North America. Two of the Company's exploration properties with the potential to host large scale Platinum Group Elements (PGE) ore bodies are situated on layered intrusions.
The goal of Platinex is to enhance growth in capitalization and share value by exploring and discovering gold and PGE's while maintaining a strong property portfolio.
Platinex's management team and board of directors have extensive exploration, mining and business experience.

7 Essential Skills You Didn't Learn in College

Waste Studies
Why take this course?
Waste is the single biggest drag on our productivity—and it's everywhere.
What you'll learn:
How to become a smarter consumer, investor, and conserver.
hen trying to understand a country's health, economists have a lot of numbers to pick from: GDP, consumer confidence, the balance of trade. But they could learn more by looking at the total amount of waste produced.
Waste isn't just garbage (though there's a lot of that: The US produces 250 million tons of it annually). Each year, we lose billions of dollars in valuable time as we sit in traffic and endless meetings. We spend billions more in health premiums that pay for administrative bloat rather than medical care. High unemployment rates constitute another kind of waste—available labor that isn't being put to productive economic use.
Waste, of course, is a simple fact of nature: It's baked right into the second law of thermodynamics. Instead of seeking to eliminate it, we need to learn what causes it, how to reduce it, and what purpose it might serve.
To see how devastating unchecked waste can be, we'll examine the recent economic collapse. The financial markets were overcome by derivatives that took in billions of dollars without performing any benefit to the overall economy. Those wasteful innovations—like risky subprime mortgage pools—were instrumental in causing the worst economic slump since the Great Depression.
We'll learn how engineers, industrialists, and economists are finding new ways to reduce waste. "Smart" meters tell people how much power their appliances are consuming; as energy customers become more aware of their consumption, they use less. Companies like GE and Intel are spending billions of dollars to improve the efficiency of their turbines and computer chips.
Finally, we'll take a more nuanced look at waste, asking how much we can eliminate and how much is necessary for a healthy economy. Some level of oversupply is required to insure against catastrophe, just as having two kidneys provides a backup in case one fails. And economists have concluded that some level of unemployment—perhaps the cruelest form of waste—is necessary to prevent runaway inflation.

Information Session:
- Nov, 5, Tuesday - 11:30 a.m. RY 266 - R.S.V.P
- Nov, 14, Thursday 3:00 p.m. RY 266 - RSVP
- By appointment in person or via Skype, for students on Co-op, NUin Students, and students with scheduling conflicts - R.S.V.P.
Term: Summer I
- CLTR4944 Cultural Engagement Abroad: Brazilian Culture
- Students will take one of the following: PORT1301/1302/2301/2302/3301/Directed Study
Several agencies, institutions and organizations including the office of International Relations of the government of Belo Horizonte support the Brazil/ BH in the 21st program. This unique academic and cultural program offers students immersion into some of the world's most dynamic, diverse and growing cities in Brazil: Belo Horizonte, also known as the Garden City and Brazil's third largest city.
Two well-respected institutions host the program: 1) the top-ranked UNA University and 2) the Cultural Institute Brazil United States (ICBEU). The host university, UNA University, is a vibrant and innovative institution of higher education and is considered the best private university center in the state of Minas Gerais. Students will relate well to UNA University as it shares a similar profile to that Northeastern University, which aims to prepare students for life-long learning in a global, diverse marketplace.
Students will participate in two hands-on student-centered classes at ICBEU's and UNA's centrally located campuses around the Savassi and Lourdes districts of Belo Horizonte, which provide quick access to many historical and cultural points of the city. During this program, students will study the Portuguese language at the appropriated level, while interacting with their peers from UNA, professors and society. In addition, students will study the cultural dimensions of a fast growing city in Brazil - Belo Horizonte. The city has attracted some of the leading technology companies in the world, like Google and Fiat as well as hosting the 2014 World Cup. Belo Horizonte has also been awarded internationally for its policies on food security. In order to provide a holistic view of the Brazilian culture, and to decipher its cultural layers, excursions will complement the study of the Portuguese language, in addition, participants in the Belo Horizonte Dialogue will have opportunities to meet and exchange ideas with leading government officials, diplomats, policymakers, industrial giants, locals, and cultural experts.
The cultural immersion of the Belo Horizonte program is furthered through academic exchange with students at UNA University, whom will act as mentors and buddies during the program, introducing and assisting the students to decipher and get immersed in the deepest layers of the Brazilian culture. The academic program will be complemented by numerous guided excursions, including an excursion to historical Ouro Preto, Sāo Joāo Del Rey, and Tiradents, along with a visit to the Marvelous City of Rio de Janeiro and other important satellite and historical cities in Brazil. During visits, students will have the opportunity to explore the cultural facets of a cosmopolitan city such as Belo Horizonte, a historical city of gold such as Ouro Preto and the fascinating Marvelous city Rio de Janeiro, thus, developing the ability to view the Brazilian culture with different lenses and from different angles. In addition, students will also engage in guest lectures, and field visits with scholarly authorities and local leaders.
By the end of the program, students will have had the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with people from many diverse backgrounds, and thus gain exposure to a wide spectrum of Brazilian language, society and its culture. Ultimately, students will return home with a first-hand knowledge of the deepest layers of the Brazilian Culture and knowledge of the Portuguese language at the appropriated level.

i think about this topic alot... a few other effective/efficient ways to create a more soccer-like atmosphere in the arena:
-Use the jumbotron: all euro soccer fan groups have a leader to shout out instructions/songs etc.. the jumbotron could be used in the same way at the acc - for example: if a player gets hot his name can flash up on the screen (kind of like they have now with "D-Fence!"), "everybody jump" to get everyone in the arena to jump (looks great), flash up longer chants than just few syllables - some euro supporter group chants are full songs
-Eliminate the music: please please please stop with the music during play... it adds absolutely nothing and creates a Disney-like mood which is an atmosphere killer... possibly just leave the drum to serve as rhythm for chants
-Eliminate the circus surrounding the game: mascots, cheerleaders, stupid games during time outs... this is absolutely unnecessary... you are watching the best basketball players in the world, appreciate it! there is no need for anything else there to entertain you... focus on the basketball game
-More flags, especially like the big "We The North" one we had in the playoffs... should have those large flags for every big game and with different things drawn/written on them (not just "We The North")
-Banners - encourage fans to bring banners and hang them from the upper bowl terrace... it would look amazing if the entire upper bowl was covered in flags/banners... the banners can also indicate different parts of toronto/ontario that different fans come from
Just a few things off the top of my head, but i think these can be easily implemented and would significantly improve the atmosphere in the arena
For anyone that wants to see a good basketball atmosphere, youtube "partizan basketball fans" or "red star basketball fans"

Which is more important, to do right or to do good?
A rich man walks down the street and drop a 20 dollar bill. You know he will not even notice it is gone. On the side of the street sits a beggar who looks really hungry. The good thing is to give the money to the beggar, the right thing is to give it back to the man who dropped it.
- Maybe instead of taking this question , as a question of right and wrong or judgment, perhaps what we can take from this is that there are a variety of opinions and many people have different ideas of what is morally right. That is beautiful to me. This is just an example that good and right are almost undefinable, or at the least the definition is always changing for everyone.

Jan 10 2013: This is a little bit off topic, but I couldn't help but notice how so many stereotyped the two characters. It is so interesting to me how, we as a society, tend to label people and things by our judgment of their outward appearance (even if their appearance is in our imagination). Just an observation but really makes me want to consciously stop doing that. Great Question. I'm in the give the money to the guy who dropped it and go help the person I perceive as needing help with whatever he/she needs camp.

I make this using all chicken stock, rather than the water and vegetable broth, and I puree the whole soup - with the cilantro - when it's finished. Then I stir in the lime at the end. When I do this, the soup comes out creamy, thick, and flavorful. We add the sour cream dolloped on top at the end, and my whole family loves it. Actually, my family adds the sour cream, but I add plain yogurt because I like the slightly sour taste it adds. I feel it complements the lime well. I serve it with warmed corn tortillas or corn bread and a salad. Very easy, and the house smells great when I come home to it.
Black Bean Soup

Cumin and fiery serrano chile infuse this simple soup as it cooks, and a dollop of sour cream provides a refreshing foil for the spicy flavors. For less heat, seed the chile first or use a milder pepper, such as jalapeño. You can also omit the chile altogether, if you prefer.

Clothed in the splendour of the dawn
what beauty I behold
As the early mist lay as a blanket
caring for the earths new born.
Grass crisp and silvered by the frosted air
awaiting the warm morning breeze
nudging softly the blanket aside
revealing hills rugged and bare.
A mirage of ocean the mist performs
across the valley and peaks
while the breeze will gently sway the mist
to make the ocean speak.
Yet as the earth awakens
the grass no longer crisp
the trees the hills the gentle slopes
arise from the morning mist.
Gone the mirage of oceans and lakes
as the splendour of the dawn awakes

Could women become extinct were it not for their obvious neccessity in reproduction?
Throughout history there has been a shameful tradition of women being undermined in society. In the origins of countless civilisations, culture has quickly unfolded to place women as second class citizens. One has to wonder why this is?
The answer lies in amongst the irrefutable cornacopia of differences between men and women both physically and pschologically. There is no dividing factor amongst humans quite like it, even race is just an issue over a bit more skin pigmentation. (Bear with me, I promise I'm not a sexist)
Women have different bone structures to men, different organs in them, different brains and much more. The difference between gender is paramount to being a different species. If you were to take a homo sapien female and a neanderthal male and asked to compare them at glance to at a homo sapien male which would actually look more similar: the one with the weird forehead and bad posture or the one with their genetalia inside of their body, the two lactating bulges at the chest and the curvy waistline?
The problem however, with this comparrisson is that the neanderthals are extinct, as are every other species of human. It seems that in evolution when two similar creatures occupy the same habitat, one eventually emerges dominant and one dies out. If humans magically became capable of asexual reproduction would the same thing happen?
However, I don't think women deserve to die out. I think they add a diversity to civilisation that we are only starting to see in recent decades. So what if women aren't on average as strong or fast as men? Is there a massive flaw in the laws of evolution? Just because one varient shows relavent strenghts in survival of the fittest scenarios it doesn't just mean the entire species should just upgrade and replace itself. Variety is the very basis on what evolution depends on. Women have many other and equally valuable ways to contribute to mankind and we must celebrate them.

Stewart Gault 30+Jun 14 2012: I think it's the reversal actually Michael, I think man would become extinct. We're useless we just provide the sperm. This here is an interesting process you should read, if females could do this, there would be no need for man, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis
M DJun 14 2012: Thanks for showing interest firstly and also for the article, perhaps I should start worrying over the bit that said "This type of reproduction has been induced artificially in a few species".
Also it's very open minded and scientific to suggest this could go both ways. Apparently during the hunter-gatherer eras men would 9/10 times come back from hunting empty handed while women provided for us all with gathering other foods.

Quality, not quantity, seems to be Auburn's message in light of the fact that four players from the Class of 2010 have committed to the Tigers so far — compared to SEC rivals Alabama and Florida, who each have three times as many.
Auburn recruiting coordinator Curtis Luper says the number reflects the Tigers' thoroughness, making sure they get the right players — not necessarily the most by some arbitrary deadline. Georgia and Georgia Tech are in the same situation, with the Bulldogs also having four commits and the Yellow Jackets three.
"We're not in a commitment race," Luper told the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. "People in their haste to get early commitments may not evaluate as thoroughly as they should. So we want to thoroughly evaluate every aspect of every potential student athlete. And we're not going to make any mistakes in character and some of the other intangibles that we can find out."

Gator Growl,
Yep. It looks like the recruiting wars are basically just going to have UF, LSU, UGA, and BAMA in the top 5 or 7 every year. AU can still make the top 20 though. Its been fun watching Saban completely dominate AU in head to head instate recruiting. This past year I think they actually won the head to head battle with us over 2 recruits. Nevermind that they lost the other 10 that we both competed head to head for. But I think we swept the top 7 instate recruits and AU got # 8 and # 10. Can u say domination?
The year before in Julio's class Bama and AU went head to head over 14 instate recruits. The score was Bama 14 AU zero. The dominance continues.
If AU wants to compete they need to hire a head coach. Somebody mentioned Cheezit but I think that guy coaches the kickers. He aint no head coach.
Curtis Luper's excuse making for getting his butt whooped in recruiting is weak and pathetic. AU is just getting whooped. All the state talent wants to go to Bama. Rolll Tiddddeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Never, why is it that you folks over in West Alabama can't admit it when you are wrong? You can't live off of Bear and his infamous "shoeboxes full of cash" forever!

I keep hearing about Auburn being bamers step-sister. But it's impossible to find a thread about Auburn without the bamers flocking to it with all kind of negative comments. I never bad mouthed ole Shula when he was at bamer. I kept saying what a great coach he was.
I don't think Coach Chiz forgot how to coach when he left Texas. It's also evident he knows how to assemble a staff when he's got the resources. I believe the ole bamer boys are bad mouthing him because they are afraid of competition. It's amazing how winning "one in a row" brings them out of the woodwork.
It won't be long until we're hearing that it wasn't really Julio's fault he went on that Cruise and fishing trip with the guy from Athens. The NCAA's always picking on bamer. Saban's as clean as they come recruting wise. LOL, I can't wait to hear the spin on this lastest round of events. If nothing else, bamers are very entertaining. lol

Georgia concerns me this year. I don't have that special feeling I usually have. I'm not overly excited about the season. One of the main reasons is Willie on the sidelines. Can you say at least 35 points scored against us in at least six games? Mark this word … Willie will cost us dearly in 2009. CMR made a very bad decision to keep Willie after the past season. I wish CMR the best but this was one of his worst calls ever.

Word from the ATL:
1. AU and TN will be back near the top of their respective divisions in three years, if not sooner
2. Speaking of Sooner(s), no Big 12 title or NC appearance for the Okies this year
3. The UGA D, after being soft, lazy and injury riddled in '08, will be vastly improved this fall
4. Early commits will begin to dwindle over the next several years
5. AL and GT both have bright futures, but one magical season does not a dynasty make……

get beat by bama one yr, and you would think they own a 20 game win streak. I realize last yr was a horrendous yr, but Tubbs changed everything offensively and didn't let the OC bring any staff members with him to help. We didn't have the personnel and the coaches didn't get along with the new guy, result failure….Be careful bama,don't turn your back the Aubie's and Chiz will be there before ya know it

ha. auburn people make up rumors about bama & the ncaa. saban has a squeaky clean NCAA recruiting record. players want to play for him b/c he is a winner and get them into the nfl (how many first round draft picks did he recruit to lsu?). however, the NCAA is gathering info on Mario's car & a few others. it appears all that car bs got the NCAA into paying attention to auburn;s car problems…those in glass houses…

Funny how this fishing trip that is supposed to get Bama and Julio into trouble was paid for by an AUBURN booster! Oh, that's right! If you can't win on the field, the Aubie playbook is to b*tch, moan, and whine and hope the NCAA will believe your stories about yo DADDY! If that doesn't work, you conveniently start your own scandals on your rival, like this fishing trip and like the Gene Jelks case where Aubie lawyers gave him cash to spin tales on Bama. But that's OK, as long as y'all "keep it down home, cuz!" Right? You Barners are a pathetic bunch and you're embarassing yourselves and the league. If you spent half as much energy trying to improve your program as you do making up fairy tales about why Bama is kicking your azz, you might win some ball games. Man up and grow a pair, little sister. I don't hear UGA or UT whining about the can of whoop-azz we opened on them last year. No, the Barn is the only ones that can't take it. MOOOOOO 36-0

the fishing trip thing has no legs. they did go fishing but it isn't what the rumors portray it as. it is a non-issue,

Coming from the most penalized school in N.C.A.A. history , how could anyone take anything they say seriously ? The barners know now that with the hiring of chizit the only hope they have is for Bama to be crushed by the N.C.A.A. thats the reason why this Gasden rumor is floating around when in actuality the principle from Gasden said that the reason SABAN owned the barn was thats tubbs didn't even go to the school but maybe once . Tubbs knew he could not recruit against SABAN thats the reason for the new offense "the spread eagle" it seems that the school has now excepted that fact as well .As far as the tiger prowl goes the only people that thought it was a great impact for the school is the school , three -3- star players are all that the barn got to show for it ….lol………

I hate to tell all you Auburn fans, but the only thing that is going to happen to Bama is (maybe) a couple scholarships are taken away. That's it. I know you all hope that we are going to get "hammered" by the NCAA but it's not going to happen. It's sad that you want it to happen just so your team might be relevant again in the state. Not going to happen. You will still be stuck with your "chopblocking OL" and your 5-19 coach. Good luck with that!

Alot of bama living in dream world , even bama's in alabama are stating yjey are only going to lose 5 shoolies, AUBuRN in line to get top two player in nation, bama can not get players out of alabama due to up come probation, Getting player ga. does want in ga.
May 30th, 2009
7:52 pm
what…you actually think they are going to lose 5 schollies for giving out some textbooks that gave no competitive advantage to anyone. You guys are desperate. Just because 2 top recruits visited your campus does not mean you are in line to get those guys. Talk about delutional. Jump back into reality and man up, the NCAA is going to make Bama go away so people actually know you guys are really in the state of Alabama. Get over it, focus on your own team and maybe you might win a game or two. I will give you this though….you guys reported the top receiver in the nation last year was coming to visit your campus but he necer showed, at least these guys showed up this weekend…..maybe?

What you are doing is hoping that Bama loses scholarships because you think that would be an advantage to Auburn. What you don't realize is that you all aren't in the running for half the players we get so it won't make a difference. It's not happening anyway, but if it does, it will not benefit Auburn. And big deal about the top 2 players visiting. That's the difference between Auburn and the top schools, Auburn gets excited when someone visits while the others are trying to decide which ones they need the most. Who cares about visits because once they see your school and then go to schools like Bama, Florida, LSU, and USC, they will forget all about you, just like 75% of the state. Maybe you should join the SunBelt…they would get excited about big time players visiting too. Give me a break. And, what is a shoolies??Ebonics?

Has anyone checked out the out-of-conference schedules of Florida and Auburn ?
Man, talk about easy cupcakes.

Yeah I agree completely about Willie…Never once last season did I feel comfortable with the lead and the saddest thing is that the players on the field seemed completely befuddled and confused. It was like they skipped the whole wk of practice and just threw them out there.
Georgia is on the cusp of being an elite program but its not there yet. Our recruiting is almost there too. But before any of that comes to fruition….it is going to take a bad to the bone D-Cord that knows how to translate from clipboard to his players how to play defense.
Until then, as much as I HATE to admit we will always be chasing after the Ohio States, USC's, Florida's.
May 31st, 2009
1:11 pm
Not to mention Ga. Tech handled us like we were in middle school. I could of threw up after every TD ran over and through us. Mind you, Willie and everyone on the defense KNEW they were running the ball and they still scored…..FIRE WILLIE NOW!!!!!!!
May 31st, 2009
10:10 pm
Auburn's schedule for 2009 is as tough as any team in country. La. Tech, West Va., Ball State al went to bowls last year. The conference is tough as always Tenn. and Kentucky from East along with Ga every year makes for a difficult go this year. Look at Alabama's weak schedule for 2009.

It's so funny listening to the barners on here. Ya'll keeping dreaming and hoping that a 5-19 coach can beat a proven winner. HAHAHAHAHA!
The domination will continue this year and for many years to come…..

Well, well… what do we have here? Hmmmmmm.
When your main competation for recruits is UAB and Troy, you can have patience with1 star recruits.
36-0 you redneck Barner fans. Take those 6 fingers and shove em up your as*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

typical barner post: 'Bama is getting hit hard by the NCAA. my cousins husbands wife knows somebody. go back to stump humpin you toothless, douche bag barners. FEAR THE CHIZZZZZZZ 5-19 !!!!!!!!!!!!! wawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww weagle

I'm scared sheetless to face Chizik… especially at JH stadium.. that place is SOOOOOO scary! It could be as bad as athens & the great blackout of 2008. gosh i hope Saban is game planning for that game already.

Job, Jesus, the Devil and Me
- Thursday, August 06, 2009
Almost three quarters of all Australians believe in God. But less than a third believe in the devil. Odd isn't it?
And even when we do believe in both, it can feel as though God and the devil are kind of two equal and opposite forces – God is good, the devil is evil and we're caught in the middle. It goes something like this - I believe in God and so I want to be good. But no matter how hard I try, I always seem to fail. I feel like the devil's winning.
Sound familiar?
But it's just not like that. Come with me to the story of the Job in the Old Testament (In fact, if you have a Bible, can I suggest you read just Job 1.)
The devil has a conversation with God. And God points the devil to this man Job.
He says "Have you considered my servant Job? A blameless and upright man who fears me and turns away from evil?"
And Satan responds "Is it any wonder? Haven't you put a fence around him and his house and all that he has? You've blessed the work of his hands and his possessions have increased in the land. But stretch out your hand and take what he has and he'll curse you to your face."
So the Lord says to Satan, "OK, all that he owns is in your power, only do not stretch out your hand against him!"
Do you see what's happening here? Job is faithful to God so God puts a fence or literally a dense, impenetrable hedge around him, that Satan can't breach. In fact, the devil can only go in and attack Job and his possessions when God gives him permission.
Does that sound "equal and opposite" to you?
And again we see the sovereign hand of God at play when Jesus is tempted by the devil. Straight after his baptism (a pretty spectacular affair by any measure), Jesus finds himself out in the wilderness being tempted by the devil. Now it's easy to imagine that this was the devil's doing. That this "equal and opposite" thing was playing itself out again.
Not at all. Luke tells us (Luke 4:1-2) that Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit returned form Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness where for forty days he was tempted by the devil.
Who led Jesus into the desert to be tempted? God did!
In fact, God rounds out our understanding further in Mark 1:12 where He tells us that the Spirit immediately drove Jesus out into the wilderness. Now the word that sits aback of our English translation "drove" literally means "to throw out." God threw Jesus out into the desert to be tempted by the devil. It was a deliberate, sovereign act of God. Just in the same way that God gave the devil permission to attack Job.
Think about it. If indeed all things came into being through Jesus and not one thing that came into being did so without Him (John 1:3) then the devil was created by God. And the devil is subject to the awesome power of God – just like the rest of His creation.
The more I read God's Word, the more I come to the conclusion that the devil is simply a piece of sandpaper in the sovereign hand of God – a tool that ultimately will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity.
I think it helps to get things into perspective when it comes to the devil, don't you?
Now let's have a listen to what Jesus said about him (John 10:10): The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that you have life in all of its abundance! (literally "super-abundance" – we just don't have an English word for that!)
God wants what's good for our lives. In spades! Abundantly! Superabundantly! And the devil wants to rob us of God's plan.

While some opt to hit the town on New Year's Eve, others elect to spend the holiday celebrating with those nearest and dearest to their hearts by planning a family celebration. If you want to ring in the New Year's holiday with your brood, plan an assortment of games to ensure that even your youngest partygoers will remain in a festive mood.
Year in Review
Promote reflection by preparing a year-in-review game. For this activity, pull out some old copies of your favorite magazines and newspapers. Clip images of events happened throughout the year that you are about to exit. Select pictures that represent important occurrences so that your family members can easily place them.
When game time arrives, present your selected photos to your players and ask them to organize them in the order in which they occurred. As you go over the player's organization attempt, discuss what each picture shows and share your memories of these events.
Midnight Balloon Volley
Keep your kids from dozing off on the couch as the hours drag on with a midnight balloon volley game. Blow up a standard balloon and present it to your children. Ask them to attempt to keep the balloon up in the air, volleying it back and forth with their hands. Once they have mastered this skill, ask them to try to complete the same task, but with only one hand each, holding the others behind their backs. To keep the player engaged, loudly count each time a player returns a volley, urging her to try to keep the balloon in the air a bit longer with each attempt.
This Year Memory Game
Create a memory game using your favorite family photos as a kid-friendly way to look back on your year. To craft this game, select 15 to 20 family photos taken throughout the year. Size each photo so that each image fits within the same dimensions. Print out two copies of each photo on a thick cardstock or photo paper.
When you are ready to play the game, spread the images out face down, mixing them up across the table or floor. Ask players to take turns turning over two images at a time. If the player turns over two matching images, he gets to keep the card. If not, he must turn them back over and wait his turn before trying again. The player with the most matches at the conclusion of the game, wins.

I love when moments like this get captured on film. I always wonder what became of the people in them.. I bet they wouldn't have guessed that half a century later people would still be admiring them. And think how important that kiss must have been to the both of them, to go to all the trouble. I hope to be kissed with such fervor someday. And I hope they made it.
Yep, crying.

A Moment Of Passion
A moment of passion so easily shared,
with no fear or regret.
The memories flood through my mind,
a moment of passion I'll never forget.
A moment of passion is like a drug,
it takes me so high.
Needing to get another fix,
a moment of passion can never lie
A moment of passion when we are alone,
you desire it too.
Unable to control it,
a moment of passion shared with you.Kev Elmer

Section 9
Income deemed to accrue or arise in India
Constitutional validity
Section 9(1)(vii)(b) cannot be said to be unconstitutional - Section 9(1)(vii)(b) cannot be said to be unconstitutional for want of legislative competence and violation of article 14 of the Constitution - G.V.K. Industries Ltd. v. ITO [1997] 228 ITR 564 (AP).
Scope and object
Income actually received is outside the scope of deeming fiction - Where the income, profits and gains are actually received in India, it is no longer necessary for the revenue authorities to have recourse to the fiction - Turner Morrison & Co. Ltd. v. CIT [1953] 23 ITR 152 (SC).
Actual accrual is different from deemed accrual - The concept of actual accrual or arising of income in the taxable territories, although not dependent upon the receipt of the income in the taxable territories, is quite distinct and apart from the notion of deemed accrual or arising of the income - Carborandum Co. v. CIT [1977] 108 ITR 335 (SC).
'Deemed' involves a number of concepts, like place, person and year - The term 'deemed' brings within the net of chargeability income not actually accruing but which is supposed notionally to have accrued. It involves a number of concepts. By statutory fiction income which can in no sense be said to accrue at all may be considered as so accruing. Similarly, the fiction may relate to the place, the person or be in respect of the year of taxability - CIT/CEPT v. Bhogilal Laherchand [1954] 25 ITR 50 (SC).
Conditions precedent - It is not necessary that income falling in one category under any one of the clauses of section 9(1) should also satisfy the requirements of the other clauses to bring it within the ambit of the expression 'income deemed to accrue or arise in India' - G.V.K. Industries Ltd. v. ITO [1997] 228 ITR 564 (AP).
Business connection
There must be element of continuity as well as real and intimate connection - The expression 'business connection' undoubtedly means something more than 'business'. A business connection involves a relation between a business carried on by a non-resident which yields profits or gains and some activity in the taxable territories which contributes directly or indirectly to the earning of those profits or gains. It predicates an element of continuity between the business of the non-resident and the activity in the taxable territories. The expression 'business connection' postulates a real and intimate relation between trading activity carried on outside the taxable territories and trading activity within the territories, the relation between the two contributing to the earning of income by the non-resident in his trading activity - CIT v. R.D. Aggarwal & Co. [1965] 56 ITR 20 (SC).
'Business' include profession, vocation and callings - The expression 'business' does not necessarily mean trade or manufacture only. It is being used as including within its scope profession, vocations and calling from a fairly long-time.
In the context in which the expression 'business connection' is used in section 9(1), there is no warrant for giving a restricted meaning to it excluding 'professional' connection, from its scope - Barendra Prasad Ray v. ITO [1981] 129 ITR 295 (SC).
Mere purchase abroad and use in India is not 'continuing business' - The term 'business connection' postulates a continuity of business relationship between the foreigner and the Indian. There is no question of continuing business relation when a person purchase the machinery or other goods abroad and uses them in India and earns profit. - CIT v. Fried Krupp Industries [1981] 128 ITR 27 (Mad.).
Isolated transactions are not covered - An isolated transaction between a non-resident and a resident in British India without any course of dealings such as might fairly be described as a business connection, does not attract the application of section 9, but when there is a continuity of business relationship between the person in British India who helps to make the profits and the person outside British India who receives or realises the profits, such relationship does constitute a business connection - Anglo-French Textile Co. Ltd. v. CIT (No. 2) [1953] 23 ITR 101 (SC).
Capital gains derived outside India is excluded - If the words 'business connection in India' were wide enough to cover all transactions including transactions in capital assets, there was no reason for Parliament to specifically include income (a) through or from any property in India, (b) through or from any asset or source of income from India, and (c) through or from sale of a capital asset situate in India. From the very fact that the transfer of a capital asset situate in India has been brought within the purview of section 9 and rule 10(2), the intention of Parliament was not to bring within its purview any income derived out of sale or purchase of a capital asset effected outside India - CIT v. Quantas Airways Ltd. [2002] 256 ITR 84/122 Taxman 935 (Delhi).
'Source' is a practical and not legal concept - All income accruing or arising from any 'source of income in India' is deemed to accrue or arise in India. The word 'source' does not mean any legal concept, but refers to that which a practical man would regard as a real source of income - Performing Right Society Ltd. v. CIT [1974] 93 ITR 44 (Cal.).
'Property' must be tangible, but not confined to immovables - The word 'property' used in sub-section (1) of section 42 of 1922 Act means something tangible; though it is not confined to immovable property or to buildings or lands appurtenant thereto - CIT v. Currimbhoy Ebrahim & Sons Ltd. [1935] 3 ITR 395 (PC).
Business operations
Onus is on revenue to prove existence of operations in India - In order to rope in the income of a non-resident under the deeming provision it must be shown by the department that some of the operations were carried out in India in respect of which the income is sought to be assessed - Carborandum Co. v. CIT [1977] 108 ITR 335 (SC).
If no operations are carried in India, deeming concept cannot apply - If no operations of business are carried out in the taxable territories, it follows that the income accruing or arising abroad through or from any business connection in India cannot be deemed to accrue or arise in India - CIT v. Toshoku Ltd. [1980] 125 ITR 525 (SC)/CIT v. Fried Krupp Industries [1981] 128 ITR 27 (Mad.).
Transactions must be systematic and well-defined - It is not every business activity of a manufacturer that comes within the expression 'operation' to which the provisions of section 42(3) of the 1922 Act [corresponding to section 9 of the 1961 Act] are attracted. Activities which are not well defined or are of a casual or isolated character would not ordinarily fall within the ambit of this rule. In a case where all that may be known is that a few transactions of purchase of raw materials have taken place in British India, it could not ordinarily be said that the isolated acts were in their nature 'operations' within the meaning of that expression - Anglo-French Textile Co. Ltd. v. CIT (No. 2) [1953] 23 ITR 101 (SC).
Salary paid abroad
Explanation - Explanation to section 9(1)(ii) added by the Finance Act, 1983 with retrospective effect from 1-4-1979 cannot be considered to be declaratory nor can it apply to a period anterior to April 1, 1979 - CIT v. I.G. Belline [1999] 102 Taxman 339 (Guj.).
Explanation added to section 9(1)(ii) with retrospective effect from 1-4-1979 was not procedural in nature - CIT v. Goslino Mario [2000] 241 ITR 312 (SC).
From Explanation to section 9(1)(ii) it is not possible to infer corollary, that in all cases where services are rendered outside India, salary cannot be deemed to accrue in India ipso facto. In certain cases, even if the services are rendered outside India, the income can still accrue or arise in India. It would depend on the facts of each case - CIT v. Halliburton Offshore Services Inc. [2004] 140 Taxman 405/271 ITR 395 (Uttaranchal).
Salary paid to foreign employee on oil rig for off-period in his contract is exigible to tax under section 9(1)(ii) - CIT v. Sedco Forex International Drilling Co. Ltd. [2003] 264 ITR 320/[2004] 134 Taxman 109 (Uttaranchal).
Payment to non-citizens are not covered under clause (iii) - If income is earned by a person who is not a citizen of India by rendering services outside India, then section 9(1)(iii) will have no application. Similar will be the case if salary is payable to a person by a private organisation for rendering services outside India - Grindlays Bank Ltd. v. CIT [1991] 56 Taxman 213 (Cal.).
Others - Where liability to pay salaries to assessees arose outside India in terms of contract between their employer - Italian company and Indian company and salary was payable outside India, section 9(1)(ii) would not apply - CIT v. Goslino Mario [2000] 241 ITR 312 (SC).
Dividend income paid to a non-resident by Indian company is deemed to accrue in India only on payment and not on declaration - Under section 9(1)(iv), it is clearly stipulated that a dividend paid by an Indian company outside India will constitute income deemed to accrue in India on effecting such payment. In section 9(1)(iv), the words used are 'a dividend paid by an Indian company outside India'. This is in contradistinction to section 8 which refers to a dividend declared, distributed or paid by a company. The words 'declared or distributed' occurring in section 8 do not find place in section 9(1)(iv). Therefore, it is clear that dividend income paid to a non-resident is deemed to accrue in India only on payment and not on declaration - Pfizer Corporation v. CIT [2003] 259 ITR 391/129 Taxman 459 (Bom.).
Royalty/fees for technical services
Deeming concept applies whether there is business connection or not - Whether there is a business connection or not, any income by way of fees for technical services should be taken to have been covered by the provision in section 9(1)(vii) - CIT v. Copes Vulcan Inc. [1987] 167 ITR 884 (Mad.).
Cases falling under clause (vi) cannot be brought under clause (vii) - If the case falls under clause (vi) of section 9(1) and is exempted from the operation of clause (vi) by virtue of the proviso, then one cannot refer to clause (vii) which is a general clause - Meteor Satellite Ltd. v. ITO [1980] 121 ITR 311 (Guj.).
Definition of royalty in Explanation 2 applies to clause (vi) only - The definition of the term 'royalty' in Explanation 2 to section 9(1)(vi) is not a general definition applicable wherever that term occurs but is applicable to section 9(1)(vi) only - Citizen Watch Co.

Lawmakers, child advocates and law enforcement officials convened Thursday behind closed doors at the War Memorial building in downtown Nashville.Kim Stringfield-Davis, director of the Child Advocacy Center of the 23rd Judicial District, told Nashville's News 2 the discussion was prompted by a letter she wrote to State Sen. Jim Sommerville expressing her concerns on DCS cases."We were interested in having the department look into how they are classifying particular cases," said Stringfield-Davis shortly after the meeting.Thursday's meeting comes after Nashville's News 2 obtained a startling report, showing 31 children died under DCS supervision in the first half of 2012.DCS Commissioner Kathryn O'Day acknowledges there are some problems."Thirty-one tragedies, it's a very great concern to me," said O'Day. "We are looking into it. We have looked into it but, we are looking further into it and we're going to keep working on this."Law-enforcement officials like Cumberland County Sheriff Butch Burgess also had the opportunity to weigh in. Burgess has personal experience fostering children. He told Nashville's News 2 that he and his wife have fostered over 50 children, even adopting one.He also told Nashville's News 2 he has encountered DCS children first hand on the job."I've gone into houses where you're walking on top of garbage and there's little kids living in there, and those kids know my name, so they're expecting me to help them," said Burgess.Burgess told Nashville's News 2 he believes more control at the local level could help the DCS system become more effective."The legislature, the governor's office, DCS all has good intentions but it can't be fixed that way, it's got to be fixed from the bottom up in each local county," said Burgess.DCS Commissioner O'Day told Nashville's News 2 her agency plans to continue working with the various stakeholders to come up with solutions to the agency's problems.

What a poor sport. The dude was clearly going for a Judo hip toss. If you can't handle physical sports such as BJJ where this kind of thing happens all the time then you should probably stick to being a spectator.
what a pu$$ lol
Bitch slapp!
When s*** like that happened to me in training jits, I would smother and crush my sparing partner with extreme angry intensity, but never punch and especially not slap!
Yeah, I rather be slapped by bitch than kneed in the dome.
Thus, MMA is born.
lol the asian guy knew he deserved it, that knee was hard as hell and he gave up on the hip toss knowing he f***** up
No way man, to pull off that toss he would have to been hip to body and he was no where close. That dude is wearing a blue belt and you can't find one of those in a Cracker Jack box. The man has known pain. I'm sure the slap was a "knee jerk" reaction:) I'de like to see the whole vid to see if the kid had pulled some questionable moves prior to the head shot.
Fair enough, move on.
and how the hell would a belt fit in a cracker jack box? I mean who the hell would expect to find a judo blue belt impossibly rolled up and stuffed into their caramelized popcorn?
who even eats that crap?
hahaha i love it
I love how the Asian dude is just like, whatever, lets continue.
what a bitch, stick to bjj since you cry over a little knee like that
Was that Nick Diaz?
Gracie academy students always try dirty tricks… Gracie family owns almost all of the important federations, so the refs never do anything about it. You can see the ref wasn't going to do anything before the slap.
My sister is a black belt and was constantly fighting championships and she always had this kind of problems when she was facing a Gracie's student in one of the federations owned by them.
I think he was more pissed that the Asian dude was an idiot and didn't need to throw the knee like that for a hip toss.
i dont believe the asian guy was going for a hip toss i think he was going to break the grip with his knee but thats up for debate. after the knee the asian guy looked like he knew he made a mistake and the other guy should have just manned the f*ck up!
God Bless JIU JITSU
the asian guy was way out for a hip toss and he lift that knee way up, either he got really bad technique for a blue belt or was trying a dirty trick. the guy on the blue gi overreacted.
First off using the knee to break the grip is standard. accidental knee to the head.
The guy slapping is just poor sportsmanship.
funny part is that the other guy had the thought to slap him…AND THEN went to holding his head like he was hurt. LOL
Do any of you guys do Jiu Jitsu? He was trying to break the grip, that move is pretty much commonly known from the standing position.
The bitch slap has deep roots in the Japanese culture.
I raise my knee in a similar fashion setting up for a throw.
This video's so nice, had to watch twice. Guy in the blue gi a poor sport, the knee was unintentional. Typical peter pan complex I'm sure. And then after the slap, to break and walk to the referee, to me that's a real bitch move. You slap a man, you don't flipping break and hide behind the referee.
Wonder what happens next. Kind of hope the Asian guy ends up handling that boy
puss wow ive been hit harder by my wife
Lol, well said Dusty, but not quite the right time or place for it in this match. The fighter should just man up and take the knee like a Bitch.
What a douche.What would he do if he was in an mma match?The knee was hard but it wasn't a full blast intentional knee.He broke the grip and hit him lightly on the head.And it didn't looked like he hit the nose,and even if he did,you don't do that.He should be suspended foo a couple of motnhs that will make him think before slapping people.If he was that much hurt he would've just let go and hold his face.
This is all you need to know. If the knee was intentional he should have received 2 bitch slaps. If it was accidental the slap should have never been thrown. I've been a wrestler since I was a kid, I've been kneed and elbowed everywhere. Heck in one of my matches, 2nd period my opponent chose down so I covered him, ref blew the whistle. I let him stand up and I threw in the chicken wing on his right arm white holding his wrist in front of him with my left hand. I then stepped my left leg around the frost of his body and hip tossed him across my body. His right foot stuck to the mat and the rest of his body didn't. I snapped his ankle in half, we shook hands and he went off on the gurney.
Usually BJJ guys are really calm and have a good attitude about accidents like these. They freakin happen! But, I guess roid rage will do that to a person…
Raising the hip like the asian did is an aggressive entry into the throw, it helps with the kazushi. As others have stated, it' s also a common technique in grip fighting to use the knee to break the opponents grip. Either way, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, as I will here.
He should have punched or better yet eye gouged that careless chink instead of just slapping him

Sorry Buick by An MSN Autos Consumer on 02/19/2012. Trim: 2011 Kia Optima LX MT, Owned 1 year.
Pros: 12000 Miles Averaging about 500 miles on a tank Love the looks and it seems to be getting better as it breaks in. Tracking is better to.Dont know why maybe getting used to it.
Cons: Tires could be better they are loud and they might be why it used to pull to the left however tracking much better now.Wish they where Michelins. Wish MPG was more in line with window sticker.Sticker must have been estimated on real gas and not what they sale us in KS/MO. Makes a difference where gas is bought wondered what happend to good MPG in my old cars. The computer tells the tale. Could youse a little sound proofing.
Overall review: I used to be A Buick man I traded both mine in for this car as they had almost a half million miles on them. Would have bought another but used prices are to high. Thanks cash for clunkers!! Checked new Regal out but just to expensive and to much forign content. For An American Brand Plus No 3.8. Thanks KIA,Tthis car was just to good a value to pass up.Love it so far.

Best bang for your buck.. by DW from SW Florida on 12/12/2011. Trim: 2011 Kia Optima EX, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Styling; fun to drive; eye catching design; features
Cons: nothing
Overall review: This is my 14th new car and without a doubt the best. The styling looks like a $ 40-$50,000 car and all for under $30,000. Has the appearance of a Lexus without the cost. The interior is classy and driver oriented. The panaromic roof is an Optima exclusive and adds even more to the look of the car. I have owned this for 2 1/2 months and averaged 35mpg highway and around town I am getting 24-25 mpg. The 5 yr/ 60,000 mile warranty is something that no Ford, GM, or Chrysler offers and the build quality by far surpasses any car I have owned.

SX Turbo Kia by RAMcharger on 09/24/2011. Trim: 2011 Kia Optima SX, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Turbo power, combined with excellent gas mileage, very attractive appearance, comfortable layout, and fantastic pricing makes this an unbeatable value. Car handles well, but needs more noise insulation.
Cons: Not much to complain about. Wish you did not have to order both premium packages to get certain basic amenities that are normally standard, like heated front seats and power front passenger seat. Hated "spinner" wheels on SX and made Dealer swap with warranty (wheels are numbered and matched to car) for Sport Design Alloy Wheels, which are a much better match for two tone grey the SX normallly comes in. Car does not have daytime running lights (solved by leaving headlights on...timer turns off 2 minutes after ignition is shut off). Only 1 CD in any radio configuration. Multiple disc not available
Overall review: Once this vehicle starts being assembled in USA (instead of Korea), more options may be available without having to be tied to a package. But fully loaded (heated and cooled front seats, NAV, Upgraded radio, panoramic glass roof, heated rear seats,etc), this car is an unbeatable value for under $30k.

My KIA Optima EX. by An MSN Autos Consumer on 08/22/2012. Trim: 2011 Kia Optima EX, Owned 1 year.
Pros: DESIGN! Air conditioned and heated seats. MPG. What's not to love on this vehicle? heated steering wheel. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles. Including GPS.
Cons: I am unable to find anything that I dislike in this auto.
Overall review: Excellent automobile. Great styling and comfort. A must have.
Review ID: #563443 Is this review offensive?
Best value on the market by Bflour on 10/19/2011. Trim: 2011 Kia Optima SX, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I have owned this car for 5 months and I love it. Great styling, comfort, and performance at an unbeatable price! Great value!
Cons: There is too much road noise. The steering tends to pull to the left however, I understand that it is just a matter of an adjustment to the computer controls to correct this.
Overall review: Great car, great value. Traded a Cadillac and have no regrets. Would recommend to anyone.

By Rick Warren

"Jesus Christ rescues us … by offering himself as a sacrifice for our sins. God's plan is that we all experience that rescue!" Galatians 1:4 (MSG)
"There is no such thing as self-rescue, pulling yourself up by your boot straps. The cost of rescue is beyond our means" (Psalm 49:7-8 MSG).
David was one of Israel's greatest kings – powerful, smart, wealthy. He could have anything he wanted and yet he knew he was unable to truly save himself. Only one person could rescue him: "I stand silently before the Lord, waiting for you to rescue me. For salvation comes from you alone" (Psalm 62:1 LB).
There is no way we can work our way, buy our way, or earn our way into heaven. When it comes to salvation, we are unable to save ourselves. The government can't save us. Our popularity can't save us. Our level of success can't save us. "There is no such thing as self-rescue, pulling yourself up by your boot straps. The cost of rescue is beyond our means" (Psalm 49:7-8 MSG).
If you didn't need a savior, God wouldn't have sent one. But he knew that your spiritual condition was much worse than any physical condition you will ever face. That's why he sent Jesus to rescue you.
There is no way you can get into a perfect heaven on your own. There is no way you can pay for your salvation. The cost is beyond your means. So Jesus paid for it by coming and dying for you on the cross. He made that ultimate payment with his life.

You can find it on our website.
I hope you're inspired to include nature journaling in your homeschool routine. It's more than just making pretty pictures. It's a learning lifestyle that will plant a love in your children's hearts for the wonder of God's creation--including bugs!
Jill Novak and her husband Robert have been blessed with five children. Together their family has produced The Pebbly Brook Farm Series; The Girlhood Home Companion, The Gift of Family Writing; and The Art of Nature Journaling: Spring and Summer (on DVD).

Tesla Kicks Off "Supercharger" Network of Free Solar-Powered Recharging Stations
By Justin Berkowitz
Range limitations will no longer be such a roadblock for electric cars, an uncharacteristically demure Elon Musk predicted tonight. At an event in Tesla's California design studio, the CEO announced that the company was developing a network of solar-powered, high-speed charging terminals to be installed at roadside restaurants, rest stops, and shopping centers. The Supercharger—a tall, Trek-y obelisk—will pump 90 kW of energy into a Model S in just 30 minutes, according to Musk. A 240-volt outlet would deliver only 10 kW in the same time.
Although the very short recharge times will appeal most to customers, Tesla sweetens the pot with its pricing: Using the Supercharger is free.
Musk explained rather vaguely that "economies of scale" of the Model S enable Tesla to offer recharging at these Supercharger stations for free. Even though the solar energy itself is free to Tesla and SolarCity, the electric power company helping administer the program, the cost of the towers themselves is no doubt enormous, as will be maintenance and eventual replacement of storage batteries.
Thus far, six Superchargers have been installed in California, theoretically providing a corridor of free energy to traverse the entire state, and to travel to the popular vacation regions of Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas. The company has plans to expand the network across the country to New York next year, and says it will reach 100 stations nationwide by 2015.
Thirty minutes of recharging time, especially from a solar source, sounds great, but Musk's pronouncement that this means there's "no meaningful difference between driving an electric car and driving a gasoline car" is too optimistic.
This ambitious plan brings with it very significant questions, which as of tonight had no answers.
How many Supercharger outlets will be installed at each location? Especially because the juice is free, we imagine that Model S drivers on popular travel routes could find themselves waiting for a spot to open up, further adding to the 30-minute clock.
Does the high-power charging system have any effect on the durability and lifespan of the Model S's battery pack? This can be an issue with lithium-ion battery packs in other cars and devices.
How much energy can the Supercharger units store? If there's a steady stream of customers, we could see demand depleting reserves faster than the solar panels can recharge them.
What happens when there isn't enough sunlight? Can and will the Supercharger stations pull electricity from the regular grid?
While we wait for those answers, there's still no denying that Tesla's announcement tonight addresses head-on one of the chief impediments to success faced by cars powered by electricity, hydrogen, or other alternative means: convenient refueling. Are we looking at the beginnings of a major, nation-shaping infrastructure project or just a clever idea that will never reach critical mass? We'll have to wait—far longer than 30 minutes—to find out.

Carrie Fisher embodies the notion that one should never live in quiet desperation, as Thoreau said most men do, when one can live in loud desperation.
Fisher's life has been out in public since she was a baby, the offspring of actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher — then dubbed "America's Sweethearts," at least until Eddie left Debbie for Elizabeth Taylor.
At 19, she landed the acting role that made her globally famous, the feisty rebel Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
She then dealt with drug and alcohol abuse, a diagnosis of manic depression, and tabloid coverage of her marriage to singer/songwriter Paul Simon (which ended in divorce) and her relationship with casting agent Bryan Lourd (who came out as gay).
All of these events have become fodder for Fisher's novels (the first was Postcards From the Edge, which became a movie starring Meryl Streep) and memoirs (notably Wishful Drinking, which Fisher turned into a one-woman stage show). Her life also has fueled her activism as a mental-health advocate.
Fisher will visit Salt Lake City on Nov. 9 to receive the Utah Film Center's second annual Kim Peek Award for Disability in Media, and will speak at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center.
Fisher spoke with The Salt Lake Tribune by phone on Oct. 27, three days before the Walt Disney Co. announced it had purchased LucasFilm for $4.05 billion. In a far-ranging conversation, Fisher talked about mental illness, addiction and her odd second life in a galaxy far, far away.
You're visiting Salt Lake City to receive the Kim Peek Award for Disability in Media. Is this what you meant in "Wishful Drinking" when you said you're finally getting awards for what you do best?
I've said that if I get enough mental-illness awards, I can trade them in for sanity.
You're listed not just as an actress and writer, but also as a mental-health advocate. How does that part of your life manifest itself?
I suppose in doing things like this. I've also spoken out about some of the laws on the books about what insurance will cover for mental illness, talking about ECT [electro-convulsive therapy] and the stigma attached to that. You end up either advertently or inadvertently learning a lot about this stuff as you go along. And I don't think "advertently" is a word — I just like to use it.
When you were diagnosed as manic-depressive, what's now usually called bipolar, was there a sense of relief that at least now you had a label for what's going on?
No, I was angry. I didn't believe the person. I thought they were trying to shortcut my therapy and pigeonhole me into something. I didn't have any kind of understanding of what it was.
I was initially told I was "bipolar II," the hypomanic thing. But I was diagnosed when I was actively using [drugs], and you can't really properly diagnose someone who's still under the influence — under the cruel shade of the influence — because anybody on drugs or alcohol, if they abuse it, they're going to look like a manic-depressive whether they are or not.
I had to be sober a year to finally accept the diagnosis. When I was told I was an alcoholic or addict, I was relieved about that, because I didn't understand why I was driven to do this, and that anybody else was — that I wasn't some freak with this appetite that I couldn't seem to adequately feed. When I got that diagnosis, I thought, "Well, fine, great, that's what I am, then. I am an addict and just let me focus on that and deal with that." I went into AA — oh, you're not supposed to say AA — so I got sober with a bunch of people in rehab, and we sort of went to meetings together. Over the years, they all kind of leveled out, and I kind of headed in the opposite direction. And when I accepted I was an addict, I stopped therapy, because I'm an addict — that's really my central issue, so let's stop chattering about this other s---.
So after a year, it was just exhausting that obviously that wasn't all that I was. So I had a friend who would sometimes talk about his shrink. It was David Geffen. His shrink would say these really raw things to him. And he's an intimidating guy. So, I thought, I want to talk to that lady. So I went to this woman, Dr. Foster, and within one session she told me I was manic-depressive. And at that point I was relieved.
How important is it to you that addiction is regarded as a disability?
"Disability" — it just sounds like someone is broken. This is an issue that I have, a condition I have — and that I sometimes struggle with, and sometimes enjoy and sometimes blessedly don't have to think about all. But most of the time, it has to be on the schedule somewhere. The fact is there isn't another word, so "disability" will have to do.
Do you still see resistance from people who want to think of addiction as a personal failing and not a disability or a condition?
I've been asked the question if I think my manic-depression is a result of my years of partying. [Laughs.] I just think there are a lot of people who aren't really educated about it. I do think this is something that I've had to struggle with and master in some way — in whatever way that I could, to the degree that you can. If you can do that and kind of still walk around, and not feel defeated and disabled — and unable and unequal — to this thing, to this sort of chink in your DNA, you can sort of feel like a successful wrestler.
When you're in the middle of it, you're not even disabled — disabled is a goal. When you get to the other side of it, it's sort of like, "All right, motherf---er, c'mon, bring it on." But you say that after it's been brought.
I got through this stuff that was ridiculous. At a certain point, I did feel, like, badly made. And sometimes I will feel that again, but it's not a general feeling that I have.
With regards to how other people view it, that's generally not something I like to confront, but when I do, I don't feel unequal to that conversation.
I watched "Wishful Drinking" to prepare for this interview, and I realized I was screwed — because there's nothing I could ask that you haven't already answered in your books or your plays or past interviews. At what point did you decide that full disclosure, of you telling your story so other people weren't doing it for you, would be your path?
When I started to talk about it, the topic was out. I don't like other people's definition of me, or I might not like it — positive or negative. I don't recognize me frequently in those descriptions. It was a way of controlling the image, which is complicated.
You mention in the play that your own physical image is something you don't have control over, because your likeness has been sold to George Lucas. Is doing the play and speaking out a way to take it back a bit, to reclaim it?
I will never obscure Princess Leia. Never. What I am is Princess Leia's Dorian Gray, and I'm the painting in the closet. And that's a tough thing to be, because when people talk about you on the Internet or whatever, they talk about how bad the painting looks. My "before" is so much more out there than my "after," and I am absolutely dwarfed by that — defeated by that, disabled by that.
Was there a point where you realized that Princess Leia would be the first line of your obituary, no matter what else you accomplished in your life?
Yeah, sure, that was early. It's like if I were Minnie Mouse, if there was actually a human being that was Minnie Mouse. I can't not be her. So you might as well be her, then, as long as it doesn't have to be all the time.
At home, I have a figurine of Princess Leia — it came from a Burger King kid's meal, inside a larger R2-D2 figure.
They have some amazing merchandising stuff. That stuff has to be funny. What else could it be, honestly? Why go to war with it? I'm a stamp. I'm a perfume. I'm a strain of marijuana. How many people can say that?
There's this pattern with celebrities, like William Shatner or David Hasselhoff, where they try to pull away from an iconic image, but they later embrace it and take it for camp value.
You might as well. You don't really have a choice. Well, you do — your choice is to be miserable or amused. What would you pick?
Is there anything about "Star Wars" that nobody asked you about and you wondered why they didn't?
I didn't know until last night that there was a hardcore porno film of "Star Wars." I'm surprised nobody told me that sooner. And I didn't know until today that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West dressed up as Princess Leia and a stormtrooper.
It comes up almost every day. You'll hear some reference to those movies. Somebody will say something pertaining to "the dark side," or quoting Yoda, or whatever it will be. It's just become part of the culture, part of the vernacular.
I don't even have to specifically pay attention to it. It's like getting Google alerts. Literally, once a day, my grid will light up with someone saying something that relates to those movies, whether I read it or hear it or see it on television.
Your telling of your own story reminds me of the Nora Ephron quote, that "everything is copy," that all life can be material.
It is if you're a certain type of person. It is if you're an archaeologist and you're stuck in your own pit.
