Summary for internal news letter
Jong Volker Wessels Foundation will renovate a community centre for after school activities in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan.
What needs to be done?
The project consists of the refurbishment and renovation of an existing community building. E.g. new roof, new installations, new window, new kitchen.
The construction work for the building is due to start in April 2010 and the opening of the building is planned for October 2010. The project group will select one Armenian contractor that can do the job.
The amount of money we need is about € 160.000. (£145.000).
The project group has 3 strategies to raise money
What is VolkerRail Netherlands doing?
VolkerRail Netherlands are organizing sponsorship action in the form of a charity run on 9th April in Vianen. We hope that approximately 100 colleagues will run one hour and raise money for this good cause! It is not a normal run but a relay race. So everybody can join in. Afterward people can enjoy with good music and some drinks. We hope to raise between € 5.000 and € 10.000
What kind of actions can you do?
We think it is very important to involve all VolkerRail countries so that we can do this action as one VolkerRail.
We hope that VolkerRail Deutschland, VolkerRail UK, VolkerRail Estonia, VolkerRail Weiss Nordic, VolkerRail Poland, VolkerRail Finland can organize a local action (such as a charity run, a bike run etc.) as well.
What else can you do?
It is also possible to raise money by asking subcontractors and suppliers to support this action by giving a donation (from € 500). We can then arrange for a button containing a hyperlink to the relevant suppliers/subcontractors website on the project website www.projectarmenie.nl and the VolkerRail corporate website as well.
If you have further questions about the project, please contact stijn elbers. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Jong Volker Wessels Foundation will renovate a community centre for after school activities in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan.
This Rainbow Child Centre is located in Yerevan. The centre now offers help to 180 children. The children receive guidance with their homework, English and German lessons and sport -and culture activities. Since the completion of the first phase of the centre in 2008, it is a great success for the district. To help even more children, Jong Volker Wessels will help with the second part of the building (currently can't be used) to renovate. The centre provides poor children a way to develop and focus on their future. The Rainbow Child Centre also serves as a meeting place for their parents.
The project includes renovation of the Rainbow Child Centre. The Rainbow Child Centre consists of two buildings and is connected by staircases. One building was renovated in 2007; the other part is still unusable. The task of Jong Volker Wessels Foundation is to renovate this building so it can also be used for the activities of the Rainbow Child Centre.
The project consists of: the refurbishment and renovation of an existing community building.
The renovation includes the following elements:
- New roof
- New installations (electricity, central heating, water)
- New boiler house
- New windows
- Installing central heating
- New interior gym
- New separate changing rooms with showers
- Enlarging the building
- New sanitary facilities
- GP practice
- Kitchen
- Classrooms
- Meeting rooms
Activity plan
Activity ("What" and "How")
Timing ("When")
1. Visit of RCC
To determine the demands and wishes of the users and what should happen to the building. Also an introduction to local authorities (obtain permission to work). Further the project group will address the long term continuity of the project. Local contractors are also visited. (Travel costs are no part of the project budget.)
Last week of November 2009
2. Blue prints
Now it is known what work is to be carried out on the building, drawings can be produced and the specifications are written. We pay extra attention to the fact that the construction will be undertaken by local contractors, using local materials. This requires a careful coordination with Yerevan. Our intention is to share knowledge of our way of budgeting and procuring.
November 2009 - January 2010
3. Recruiting sponsors
We work towards a maximum awareness of the VolkerWessels concern. We do this by activating all of the 17,000 employees and by stimulating competition between operating companies. Further we will ask our partners to subcontractors, suppliers etc.
November 2009 - May 2010
4. Contract local builders
This phase is about finding a reliable and skilled contractor for the job. We have selected four contractors who can apply. These contractors are selected after consultation with local parties and group visits.
January 2010
5. Work preparation
The detailed drawings are prepared, the necessary equipment purchased and the contractor briefed. Everything is ready for action.
January 2010 - April 2010
6. Supervision
The construction period will be closely scrutinized by a supervisor who is appointed by the group and lives in Yerevan. This is done to ensure the progress and quality of the work. Through visits, films, photographs and reports, the group will monitor the process. This period is also used for the transfer of knowledge. Particular attention will be paid on knowledge of management and maintenance of the property. What installations are added, how should they be maintained? How does one create a maintenance plan? In what ways can the organization ensure that sufficient funds are earmarked for maintenance? These and other questions are addressed.
May 2010 - September 2010
7. Completion of the project
The group, supervisor and end user will check the new building to see whether everything is installed and constructed according to plan. Any faults are to be rectified by the contractor. Only when this is done, the contractor gets paid the last installments.
September 2010
8. Official opening of the RCC
This is a good time to strengthen relationship with the neighbourhood, authorities and potential sponsors.
October 2010
Charity Run VolkerRail
VolkerRail will help Jong VolkerWessels with this project to transform a former kindergarten into a community centre for young children by raising money for this project. On Friday April 9, VolkerRail will organize a charity run to raise money for this project.
The charity run
The aim of the event is to run a relay race for one hour in teams of four persons. This means each person has to run about 15 minutes. When you want to change, and how often, you should decide in your own team. The start of the relay race is at 15:00 and ends at 16.00 hours. The race takes place in the in the backyard of the office of VolkerRail Vianen in the Netherlands. The route is approximately 400 metres long. After the race we will announce which team has done the most laps. These 4 people will receive a nice surprise. During and after the run we will provide snacks and drinks to all the runners.
Note: If you subscribe individually you are will be placed in a team. You can also join with a team of max 4 persons. The representative who enters a team will be the team captain and will receive all information via e-mail.
The aim of the charity is to raise funds for Project Armenia. You can collect money for the race from family, friends, colleagues etc. People can sponsor for a fixed amount, not per round. Therefore you don't have to raise money afterwards and we can announce what has been collected at the end of the day.
Sign up with your colleagues today! !
You can subscribe by reply back:
Your name and the names of your team. After registration you will receive a confirmation plus further information.

Oat-and-Cheddar Crackers
Antonis Achilleos
After rolling out this buttery dough, stamp out all different kinds of shapes (Ginna Haravon likes making animal crackers). It's important to chill the dough before and after rolling it out so the crackers are tender.
Yield: Makes about 2 1/2 dozen crackers
More From Food & Wine
Recipe Time
40 Minutes
Total: 2 Hours
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces (1 1/4 cups) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 large egg yolk lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk
- Demerara or Turbinado sugar
- In a small bowl, combine the oats and milk and let stand until the oats soften slightly, about 5 minutes.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and pulse a few times to blend. Add the cheese and butter and pulse until a coarse meal forms. Stir the beaten egg into the softened oats, then scrape the oats into the food processor. Pulse until a dough forms. Scrape the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and gently knead a few times until thoroughly blended. Pat the dough into a disk, wrap it up and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Work with half of the dough at a time: On a lightly floured work surface, dust the dough with flour. Cover with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick. Quickly cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares or stamp out different shapes. Brush off any excess flour and transfer the squares to one of the baking sheets. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes, until the squares are firm. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
- Lightly brush the squares with the egg wash and lightly sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 16 minutes, until the crackers are golden brown. Transfer to a rack and let cool before serving or packaging.

Fic: If You Ever Lost a Light (7b/?)
Title: If You Ever Lost a Light
Pairing: Prince!Kurt/Badboy!Blaine
Summary: Based on this photoset. Kurt is a prince who is forced to leave his home after a rebellion. He ends up in Lima, Ohio, where he finds out blending in and avoiding troubles might be harder than he thought, especially when he meets the school's badboy, Blaine Anderson.
FF.net: link here.
If Kurt thought Wednesday started out badly, what with Rachel questioning him on his disappearance the day before and the remaining of his depression over his situation, Thursday started with Kurt realizing Hazel Eyes – a.k.a James Dean's Follower - and himself shared two classes together; US History and AP Physics. Both of which were Kurt's first two classes on Thursday morning.
Physics would be easier, he tried to convince himself as he shimmied into his red skintight jeans and tied his black Dr. Martens lace-up boots who were finally clean after the slushy attack. Since we're sitting at almost opposite corners of the class and all. But History may be more difficult, considering that we are sitting together at the same desk.
He was very, very wrong.
When he walked into Mr. Thompson's classroom at 8:10 a.m. that morning after saying a hasty goodbye to Quinn, Artie, Rachel and Mike at the door of his homeroom, not many students were present. He assumed they all knew everything about their teachers and their habits, and, considering, Mr. Thompson wasn't there as well although the bell already rang, he also assumed the latter was of a habit to be late. Kurt himself was never late – he was very punctual, as he was obliged to attend many events on a precise time since he was a little boy – and therefore was there early or, at least, earlier than apparently needed.
What that also meant was that as he took his seat and placed his bag on top of the desk, the boy with the leather jacket and tight shirts was nowhere to be seen. It unnerved Kurt a little to think that he spent his entire morning thinking about said boy, and he didn't even know his name – but, then again, he had specifically stated that he 'didn't do names', hence Kurt had no reason to ask for something he was not about to obtain.
Three minutes passed with Kurt sitting unmoving in his seat, texting back and forth with Mercedes and Rachel, until the classroom began to fill with the rest of the students. Mr. Thompson was between them, the prince noticed (and hurried to clandestinely zip his bag open and push the iPhone inside it), but Hazel Eyes was still missing.
It was only when the grumpy teacher sat down and opened one of his notebooks, and the blonde boy in front of Kurt broke apart from the disgustingly deep lip-lock he had with the girl Kurt saw leaning onto his desk the other day, that the door swung open to reveal shiny black leather and ripped jeans-clad legs.
The chestnut-haired boy was surprised – although, at this point, he supposed he shouldn't have been – to discover that the teacher barely even raised his head to watch the latecomer. He simply let the boy walk across the class ten minutes late, and by the indifferent look on the rest of the students' faces, Kurt could guess it was most definitely not the fist time.
"Back again, Celeste?" The boy said, almost as if he was drawing out the words to make his sentence last longer. He didn't look at Kurt at all – he just pushed his bag across the wood to his own side of the desk, near the wall, and moved past Kurt to take his seat – legs, of course, popped out on the top of the desk. "Hadn't scared you away, had I?"
"I'm still here," Kurt muttered in reply, avoiding the dark, greenish-hazel eyes that he could feel drilling holes in the back of his neck. Mr. Thompson began speaking, continuing the lecture of last time, and this time Kurt was going to do his best to actually listen and figure out exactly where in the material they were so he could follow.
"Yes, I noticed that you are," the low voice said back, and Kurt fought back a frustrated groan when he realized the other boy wasn't going to stop talking to him no matter what he was going to do. "A little hard to miss you, what with those sinfully tight jeans and the color of them."
Kurt bowed his head down, endeavoring to not let his red cheeks be on display, but the way his desk-partner chuckled and murmured, "Their color matches your cheeks perfectly," indicated he was failing miserably.
"What do you want from me?" Kurt muttered, his eyes shut close until he gathered the courage and turned his head towards the curly-haired boy with the smug smirk that absolutely did not sent Kurt's inside flipping.
"Oh, I don't want anything from you," the boy drawled, lazily drumming on the table with the tip of a pencil he picked up and Kurt was pretty sure was actually his own. "I may want to do a few things to you, though."
"Stop that!" Kurt hissed, his skin going even redder and his hand reaching out to grab the pencil and prevent the boy from making any more tapping noises with it. He wasn't sure which he was referring to – the tapping or the flirting, and, well, this was flirting, right? Kurt was flirted with before – he had a boyfriend for a couple of months and he went on occasional dates since he came out when he was fourteen and a half – but he had never met someone so vague, so confusing, and yet so uncaring and outright.
The hazel-eyed boy hummed in response, leaning back in his chair and stretching like a cat under the warm sun. Kurt glanced back to the front of the classroom, where Mr. Thompson was still talking about something Kurt could not understand since he had yet to find time catching up on the class, and sighed when he realized no one was paying any attention to the leather-jacket wearing boy. He was practically free to do whatever he wanted, even during class with an authoritative figure thirty feet away, and the prince doubted it was doing anything to lessen the boy's obvious smugness.
"I heard you're staying at Berry's house," someone suddenly said, and it didn't take a genius – or even Finn, to be honest – to realize Marlon Brando next to Kurt was the only one who could have said it. "You're a transfer student, aren't you? Where are you from?"
Kurt sighed and focused back on the red notebook open before him, the one he was absently doodling upon without even noticing. "Europe," he said without any further explanation, mainly because he wasn't allowed to, but also because he didn't like the fact that this boy just demanded details about him while he was being almost as annoying as Rachel when she practiced singing at five a.m. in the morning.
Yet again, the boy's reaction was silent, and the prince was not going to make the same mistake again and turn his head to see his neighbor's expression. The rest of the class was spent in silence, Kurt using the time to go over the paperwork he was given by Mr. Thompson two days earlier, as he didn't have the time to do so before.
Before he knew it the bell was ringing and everyone were standing up, collecting their stuff and ignoring the teacher's querulous voice. The boy sitting less than a foot away from Kurt pulled his legs back, letting them fall off the desk and onto the floor with a loud thump, before standing up and swinging his worn-out bag over his shoulder. The blue-eyed boy shook his head slightly and mentally reminded himself to ignore his presence, also picking his bag up and silently marching down the aisle towards the door.
He was sixty feet away from the classroom, making his way towards Mrs. Lewis' room with hopes of meeting Quinn or Mike – who turned out to also be taking the class with them – on his way, when a strong pair of arms wrapped around his waist, making him squeak and attempt to break away, images of cruel football-players dragging him away to dark alleys hunting his mind.
"Jesus, Celeste, will you come the fuck down?" A familiar voice muttered in his ear, which was proceeded by the warm body that was pressed against Kurt's back to back away. "I'm not gonna rape you, for fuck's sake, I was going to give you a little shock, is all."
Kurt took a deep calming breath – no dark alleys, not Karofsky – and turned around, glaring at his attacker with his best 'if looks could kill I'd fry you and hang you on my kitchen door' look.
"What were you thinking?" He hissed, forgetting all personal boundaries – a strange boy he had only spoke to a few times and didn't even know the name of just wrapped him in his arms and pressed them close together, he had every right to do so – reached out and slapped the shorter boy's arm. "Who do you think you are? I could sue you for sexual harassment, you know! And stop calling me Celeste, I don't even know what that is, my name is Kurt!"
The boy in front of him merely raised an eyebrow and mumbled to himself, "So feisty," before shifting his back on his shoulder and walking away, making his way around Kurt.
"Where do you think you're going?" The prince demanded, turning around and marching towards the retreating figure of the boy.
"AP Physics?" Was the answer said without the simple turn of a head, combined with a casual, fake-innocent shrug.
"No, you're not," Kurt said darkly, outstretching a hand and grabbing at the leather jacket to make the boy slow down so he could catch up. "You just walk away? Really?"
"What got you so upset?" Hazel Eyes smirked, white teeth flashing towards him. "Wanted me to stay and continue?"
"No," Kurt stated firmly. "But how about you start with saying my actual name?"
"Yeah, I don't think so," chuckled the boy, and then he disappeared behind the door leading into the Physics classroom that Kurt didn't even notice they reached.
Kurt considered following and confronting him again, but as he also walked through the door he realized Mrs. Lewis was already there, and that he'd probably get into troubles if he started yelling at someone – because he had no doubt the dark-haired boy's obnoxious behavior would lead him to screaming in no time – in the middle of the classroom, moments before the lesson began.
So he did the right, mature thing, and walked the other way, taking his seat and waving hello at Quinn as she walked to sit behind him.
He almost managed to focus his thoughts on the actual class by the time a hand tapped on his shoulder and quickly gave him a crumpled piece of paper with a clueless shrug as he raised an eyebrow in question.
He should have seen it coming, though, he thought as he stared at the unfolded paper with the curvy handwriting lying in front of him.
Don't bother trying to teach me your name, Celeste. This one fits you perfectly.
Ora devo solo aspettare per voi capire che cosa significa.
"So you haven't been slushied again today, have you?"
Kurt sighed for at least the fifth time in the short ten minutes he had spent with Rachel and slowly said, "No, Rachel, I had not been slushied again. You can stop worrying."
He wasn't lying; of course, he was still pushed into lockers and shoulder-checked and he was pretty sure his back was red and bruised, but neither Rachel nor Quinn who were escorting him from their last shared period – AP Biology – to Glee club needed to know that.
"That's good," Quinn nodded, though she looked less convinced than Rachel. "Maybe they found other targets. Anyway – are you excited to find out what Glee club is like?" She grinned, nudging Kurt arm with her elbow. "You didn't show up on Tuesday, so this is officially your first time in the crazy."
"Weirdly, it had been called that by several people already," he commented, making Rachel grin. "I'm kind of worried as to what exactly I'm putting myself into."
"The joy of music and performing," was Rachel's vague though probably honest response, as she linked her arm through his and pulled him to walk faster towards the choir-room that was nearing them quickly.
"Have you met everyone already?" Quinn asked, and he would've answered her if Rachel wouldn't have given him one amazingly forceful shove for such a tiny girl towards the door. He glared at her and straightened his shirt, walking through the door and right into who he supposed was Mr. Schuster's eyesight.
"Oh, hello!" He was a grown-up, Kurt mused, and he had really terrible hair, so that must've been him. "I'm Will Schuster, but you can call me Mr. Schue, and this is Glee club! You're Kurt Hummel, or so I have heard from Rachel. You're a transfer student, correct?"
"Yes, sir," Kurt smiled.
"Can you sing, Kurt?" Mr. Schue smiled at him, placing both his hands on his hips, appearing to be looking him over.
"Yes, sir, I most definitely can."
"Great!" The teacher clasped his hands, motioning towards the middle of the room. "Well, have you met everyone already?"
Kurt was, once again, being taken the right of answering away from, as Mr. Schuster pointed towards the bunch of teenagers sitting in the three rows of seats against one wall of the room. "Santana, Brittany, Artie, Puck, Mike, Tina, Sam and Mercedes. I assume you know Rachel, of course, and Quinn as well?"
Kurt bit back a smirk. "Um, actually, Mr. Schuster, I met everyone here. Except one – uh, aren't you missing a memb-"
And just before he finished his sentence, the door to the choir-room burst open, and through it walked a short, curly-haired, leather-jacket-wearing very familiar boy with a smug smirk and a raised eyebrow.
"Ah!" Mr. Schuster said with a grin. "And that is Blaine, Kurt, our last member."
(Kurt's outfit is here)
And, um, if you happen to know Italian and can help me because I have no doubts whatsoever that I had it wrong with the translation…?

Student loan data stolen
A portable hard drive containing personal information on more than half a million people who took out student loans was left unsecured for extended periods and lacked password protection and encryption, says the federal privacy czar.
Employees handling the device were not aware of the sensitivity of the information it contained, concludes the report from interim privacy commissioner Chantal Bernier.
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada acknowledged last year the drive held data on 583,000 Canada Student Loans Program borrowers from 2000 to 2006.
The missing files included student names, social insurance numbers, dates of birth, contact information and loan balances, as well as the personal contact information of 250 department employees.
Bernier's report, tabled in Parliament, says a gap between policies and practices at the department — now known as Employment and Social Development Canada — led to weaknesses in information management, physical security controls and employee awareness.
The commissioner found that department employees violated sections of the federal Privacy Act related to the use, disposal and disclosure of personal information.
Information security cannot be assured by having policies on paper — they must be put into practice every day, Bernier said.
The department has begun implementing her recommendations, she added. "We hope this investigation will prompt other federal departments and private-sector organizations to review their own privacy policies and practices."
The privacy commissioner's office opened its investigation in January last year after the department reported that the hard drive had been missing for two months. Officials did not know whether it was a case of human error or ill intent.
Bernier's report came Tuesday as a Federal Court judge certified a class-action lawsuit filed by some of the students, who are seeking damages for breach of privacy and breach of contract.
The students allege they were exposed to a greater risk of identity theft and are owed compensation for time and frustration associated with changing credit cards, getting credit reports and dealing with student loan information.
The hard drive has never been recovered and there is evidence it may have been stolen, said lawyer Ted Charney, who called the judge's decision significant.
"In our digital age there are just so many breaches now," he said in an interview. "It's just an endless chain of breaches by the governments and by large corporations and we're all trying to come to grips with how these types of breaches should be compensated."
Bernier said Tuesday the department assures her there is no evidence of fraudulent use of the sensitive information.
Staff of the department's student loans program had used the one-terabyte hard drive to make a backup copy of program information stored in the central computer to ensure its preservation when that data was being transferred between networked drives, her report says.
Bernier recommended:
— Severely restricting the use of portable storage devices and introducing system software which blocks unauthorized use of such devices on desktop computers;
— Periodically examining portable storage devices to ensure they are being used solely for legitimate reasons;
— Reviewing holdings, disposing of transitory records and classifying remaining records at the appropriate security level;
— Mandatory training on personal privacy protection and testing every two years.
The commissioner plans to follow up in a year to gauge the department's progress.
The vast majority of federal data breaches last year were not reported to the privacy commissioner, said Charmaine Borg, the NDP digital issues critic.
"Government departments tend not to divulge data breaches to the commissioner, or to the people affected by the breach," she said.
"We need a system that requires people to be notified when their data has been breached. Canadians deserve to know when their personal data has been lost by the government."

Companies like ETAK demonstrate that the SEC doesn't care about the integrity of the stock market. This company has never done anything, IMO, except.... Well, you figure it out.
I played Elephant Talk many, many times down, it's been very reliable on CAPS......I lost track of it after awhile, but it's 16% spike today caught my screen...
Overall, I can't see that much has changed. Loses about $4M a quarter, ATM machine on shares, has loyal followers, but I haven't seen much change over the years. Constant losses, 5X book, never any profits, $132M market cap....lots of shares shaking lose. Netherlands, sub 10% of institutional holdings... Mobile Security is a heck of a market....collaborations with HP will help, but can't get behind this Elephant until it drops some weight.
security,security !
They have -$216MM in accumulated deficits and 136MM shares issued. That equates to an accumulated deficit (negative equity) of -$1.59 per share. Additionally, I cannot find a way to make them worth more than zero on a DCF basis no matter how hard I try (even with very rosy assumptions I consider to be very difficult for this company to achieve).
Not to mention, ETAK shows no quarter in recent history where they have turned a profit. They may have generated one a long time ago, but it doesn't seem worthwhile for me to chase that information down. They have $3MM in cash are burning it at an average of $5.3MM per quarter over the last 5 quarters. I really wish I could find more of these super easy red thumbs.
I'll just give you a taste of their latest quarterly report:
The Company received notice from the Exchange on May 17, 2013 indicating that the Company does not satisfy the continued listing
standards of the Exchange set forth in Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide in that the Company has sustained losses which are so
substantial in relation to its overall operations, or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears
questionable, in the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether it will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.
Good enough for me!

What a complete waste of money. Yeah Tom Hanks was in it, but I couldnt understand a thing that was going on for about 85 % of the play. They definitely knew how to cuss in this play as evidenced by the excessive use of profanity. Other than that I couldnt understand what they were saying or what was going on. If I had it to do over again I would take the money spent for tickets and put it in the bank so as to make better use of it. Total waste of time with no entertainment value

I enjoyed the play. It has a steady pace, witty lines and leaves a taste of New York in your mouth better than a dirty water hot dog. Go see it. We can't go wrong with Nora Ephron's writing and Tom Hanks acting. The cast is terrific. It focuses too much maybe on McClary's changing newspapers, etc... but it does capture a time in New York City I wouldn't want to live through again, in the newspapers or not.

Sorry Nora, this is a stinkeroo. Saw this the second week of previews so forgive me if the whole thing was changed before opening night. This is at best a bad tv movie of the week of a story. The actors are yelling at the top of their lungs. We hear you, calm down. Is there a fire? They are not so much yelling as hollering. I won't go as far to say they are screaming. There is not much of a story to follow. The characters are as thin as prosciutto. Hanks is interesting, he literally is chewing the scenery, and spitting out the pieces but perhaps he could have given a more nuanced performance? I love the spectacle of Hank's hyperactive performance, but he is spinning out of control when the script does not seem to call for it. The music is awfully annoying, about as pleasant as hearing dishes being broken in offbeat syncopation. Just labeling a guy as black, or fat, or drunk, or bald, or tough, or rowdy, or Irish, or the wife, does not make him interesting. There is no plot, more of a plod. Sorry Nora, I loved Heartburn and You Got Mail.

I saw the play in previews walking in cold, perhaps the best way to experience a production without any preconceptions. I thought that the cast and Hanks rose to the occasion in what was a convoluted and chopped retelling of the 1980s and 1990s journalistic career of Mike McAlary, novelist, consultant, and columnist for the three New York tabloids culminating in his Pulitzer Prize win and losing battle with cancer. Segments of the play are memorable, for example, the scene when McAlary and his editor brilliantly played by Courtney B. Vance who are both hospitalized, recline in beds next to one another. On their way out of life's door, battling acute illness and in pain, both synchronize taking the most extreme hits of morphine allowed by a button push. As they fly into a nirvana state that makes us laugh and fills us with sadness, we empathize with them and confront our own fragile mortality. Would there have been more life events in the play as vital and original as this, but there were not. Despite the play's lack of structure, thin characterization of real people (this should never have been) lackluster retelling of McAlary's rise and "fall", dead spots ( too many to recall) Hanks carries the production with the superb cast. The fault is not the direction or acting, but the play itself. It needs extensive work and there is no time for that. It is not Ephron's finest hour, but will be overlooked. It is admirable that Hanks in adoration of his friend was moved to carry McAlary's mantle, though Hanks is older than McAlary was and somehow the play doesn't accommodate for that or other elements which do not cohere and which confuse. But no matter. People will flock to the production because it is Hanks. That's why investors backed it. It's lovely to see him and buddy celebrities in the audience who are there to support him (Glenn Close and Sir Ian McKellan when I saw it). Too bad the play isn't what it should have been.

Five stars without any chance to see it. I love my California mountains but I am no longer capable to go to any performance outside our little town.
Yes, Hanks is really special and to see him live would be quite something. Not going to happen, alas.

I really feel sorry for Ben Brantley having to review this play. Everyone loved Nora and loves Tom, so it's almost impossible to be fair to both the audience and to the two legends involved with this play. He did an excellent job though, an excellent tap dance around it.

Saw it last Saturday- cast was wonderful (Courtney Vance stole the show) - the writing was snappy - it was funny and sad and everything you'd hope for in a Broadway play. Not sure what all the haters were looking for, but I definitely got my money's worth.

I saw that awful play that Brantley gushed about--Vanya, Masha, Sonia and Spike. It had all the imagination of a TV sitcom. It was missing the laugh track for the unfunny jokes, but the audience accommodated. Luckily we were able to leave at intermission, but I realized that the best seat in the theatre was any one that was on an aisle.
I saw another play Brantley had trashed: Theresa Rebeck's Dead Accounts. It was fantastic. It had subtlety, wit, and irony. The kind of thing you wouldn't see in a TV sitcom. Now I understand that Brantley didn't like it because of these reasons.
On the other hand, I could be wrong. It could just be that Theresa Rebeck is a female and not part of Brantley's mafia and he's using his perch at the Times to reward friends and punish enemies. But he wouldn't be that small minded, would he? Nevermind.

Why must we always be looking for character and character development? Perhaps we should realize that Nora Ephron, in her always brilliant way, was telling the story of a character who himself was only newsprint deep but still a great newspaperman. That IS the story but it is so much more, a deeply felt love letter to an era in New York's newspaper world, wonderfully written and brought to life by the amazing George C. Wolfe that puts the audience into the newsrooms and barrooms of that time. Will it go into the record books as one of the great plays of the 21st century? Who cares.? It's an arresting evening in the theater, and one not easily forgotten.

What starts out with brio and wit turns leaden as the first act drags on, leaving one to wonder whether this story was particularly suited for the stage.
Things come back to life just in time for McAlary to die in the second act. Then, when the born in / died in dates of McAlary's lifespan are revealed, it hits you that Henks is too old for this role to begin with.
I'll admit that the show seemed to resonate with the audience, who likely recall the news pieces and headlines referenced throughout, or maybe they were just excited to see Tom Henks. But like Julia Roberts before him, he has not found a part nor a production that makes for a star turn.

Lucky Guy is superbly acted, wonderfully written and brilliantly directed by George Wolf. The ensemble cast is wonderful, and Tom Hanks proves that he's an accomplished actor. Don't go expecting the depth of Death of a Salesman, but go to see it for it's truly entertaining and endearing qualities. With or without Mr. Hanks, (mega star box office), this show is worth the price of admission. We all loved it, and many of us think the Times needs a new theater critic...
— Terence Hughes, New York, NY
April 2nd, 20131:01 am
I liked it. The cast is superb and 100% full-out from the show's very first moments. Seeing this in previews, I found it to be an unexpectedly rousing evocation of McAlary's life and times. Well worth the price of admission in my book.

Unfortunately, if the playwright had been around to hear how her work played, they might have been able to save this play. If you simply want to see Tom Hanks on stage, go. You won't be disappointed, but later you'll wonder why you paid $152! This is NOT an interesting play. In the second act, there's a scene when McAlary goes to interview Abner Louima in a hospital room after a horrific event. One can feel the audience finally lean in. They hear the words and gasp. THIS could have been the basis for a great character study of a columnist and the world he inhabits. So much of it is exposition with no drama. Ultimately, the journey isn't worth the journey. Disappointing. George C. Wolfe's work is superb. Hanks is good in a thankless role. He's surrounded by a superb cast of actors in a very boring play. It'll make a lot of money, but once Hanks leave, that'll be the end of it. You'll feel lucky being in the theatre with Hanks, but not so lucky the next day.

Ephron died before she could have helped sharpen what's here. But the essence of what's left is a love letter to newspapers and reporters and new york and, sadly, to facing ones too-soon death. the show isn't perfect but it sure was fun to be in the theater and watch it. Only caveat for me was the deadly dull Maura Tierny. And my husband found the Luima scene gratutitous and offensive. But I'm glad I got tickets and I saw it. Hanks was terrific. Thanks for the morphine scene, when we knew it was you for sure.

Saw it on Opening Night and absolutely loved the play. Tom Hanks was incredible, and all other actors were fantastic, too. I moved to NYC 5 years ago and didn't know Mike McAlary, so for me it was both educating and entertaining. Can't share the first readers criticism at all. I got a very good feeling for the character. The play is very fast-paced and all actors constantly interact. I don't know how there could have been additional scenes to introduce the character, without extending the play by another 30-45 minutes. I would highly recommend my friends to go and see the legend that Tom Hanks is. Watch this play and you'll once again understand how versatile he can be, and that he'll win many more awards as time goes by!

Find a real play for Tom Hanks This is a mess Was it originally a screenplay?
No character development No story Just a timeline of this guy's life with a cheap, disgusting use of the real life Abner Louima tragedy to try to make you feel something Just proves you can't make theater when there's no script Is it a paean to journalism or a character study? It ends up being neither And why is everyone on stage watching the scenes they're not in? Typical of Broadway these days Get a movie star name get butts in seats and then never mind if it's any good

Awonderful couple of hours in the theatre. Hanks is wonderful as is Courtney Vance, and the remainder of the cast are no slouches either. It will bring belly laughs for the wit and damp eyes for the pathos. It is tightly written and unfolds quickly and smoothly. Ultimately it is the author's ode to the field of journalism-warts and all.

How could I not buy tickets to a play brought forth by the esteemed triumvirate of Nora Ephron, Tom Hanks and George Wolfe? I found the first 10 minutes or so exciting, sure that I was about to see something great and original. There was inventive staging, snappy dialogue and great acting. I felt an excitement that this was a new dimension of theater. And then it all fell apart. The staging seemed less original, but worst of all, I didn't care at all about the characters. Mike Mc Alary was not likable which in and of itself is not a theater tragedy - think Martha and George or Osage County both full of despicable characters but truly great nights at the theater. Mike Mc Alary as written and performed was a bore - the kind you want to get away from at a party - or out of your theater seat. My husband left after an interminable Act 1, but I refused to go having paid so much for tickets. The second act was much better, but then who wouldn't feel sorry for a guy with a brain injury dying of cancer?? All in all I came away feeling supremely robbed by spending so much for tickets and being offered so little in return. Is it worth it to see Tom Hanks live - not in this play.

lucky to have seen lucky guy. an exciting blend of a whirl of changing sets , norah ephron's humorous and compassionate writing ,and excellent acting led by Tom Hanks, results in the the most insightful look inside the sometimes tumultuous world of NY's tabloid newspapers.

Lady April: This faboo photo has been posted before but God only knows where. That is from the Life of Python DVD's commemorating the Python's 30th Anniversary special. Eric did not really take part in it as I believe he was located half way around the globe doing other meanial bullshit things like oohhhhhh saaaaayyyyyyy writing some stupid stage performance thing that would never go anywhere.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy couldn't be bothered could he...... well, I still adore him!!! :) Thanks Lady April ... can't believe it's ten years ago... it looks so yesterday!
The whole DVD is far out! They did new sketches as well and Michael reprised characters of Ken Shabby and Luigi Vercotti also - it is sooo cool!
youtube is your friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz3BVnRycok
you're welcome Kasmira.... Terry is just a doll isn't he.... looks just like my dear old dad. :)
Actually that was Michael. Eric was pissed that Michael backed out.
I can understand if he did not particularly like the content of a sketch or two, the gorillas I can totally understand not sure how far left field that one came from. But in the end he contributed so little to the show and it was very obvious. Kinda made me sad in that respect.
Thats what I'm sayin - I think he haunts their ass personally and Python STILL going after all this time? There is a force behind that - there has to be =)

The official cause of João Goulart's death was a heart attack, but many think he might have been poisoned by the right wing military regime that deposed him.
BRASILIA — The remains of former Brazilian President João Goulart were exhumed on Thursday and flown to Brasilia to determine whether he was poisoned by agents of the right-wing military regime that deposed him in 1964.
Goulart's coffin was received at an air force base in the capital with a 21-gun salute and full funeral honors that Brazil's military dictatorship denied the former president, a leftist, upon his death in 1976.
Related: Brazilian president cancels US visit over NSA spying
The exhumation and Thursday's ceremony, attended by President Dilma Rousseff and three other former heads of state, is part of an effort by Brazil's leftist government to answer unresolved questions about murders, kidnappings and other human rights abuses during the dictatorship, which ended in 1985.
When Goulart died, Brazil's government said the official cause of death was a heart attack, suffered at his ranch in neighboring Argentina.
But his family in 2007 called on Brazilian authorities to investigate statements by a Uruguayan intelligence officer who said he had been part of a plot to kill Goulart by tampering with his medication.
At the time, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil were all ruled by military dictatorships that often collaborated in tracking down and eliminating leftist opponents. In what came to be known as a "dirty war," tens of thousands of leftist sympathizers and other perceived enemies of the regimes disappeared across South America.
Goulart was buried in his home state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil. There, beginning Wednesday, forensic experts worked 18 hours to remove his remains from a family mausoleum so they could be flown to Brasilia for tests.
Related: Brazil tries to elude NSA with new cables, satellite
The investigation is being conducted by a Truth Commission set up by Rousseff to look into abuses during the dictatorship. Rousseff herself was imprisoned and tortured by the regime as a young woman for her role in an urban guerrilla group.
"Brazil is reconnecting with its history today," Rousseff said in a Twitter message. She noted that Goulart was the only Brazilian president to die in exile and under still uncertain circumstances.

(VIDEO) I Pencil: Classic Video Explaining Free Markets
November 15, 2012 | Filed Under Business, Capitalism, Economy/Finances, Ethics, Free Trade, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
This was created by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CPI) and is based on I, Pencil, a famous essay by famed economist Leonard Read. This is a great video that everyone should watch, but it's especially apropos for young people.
Do you know how to make a pencil? You don't, do you? As Read explained in his original essay, no single person on earth does. The pencil, like most modern wonders, is the end product of an intricate chain of human activity that spans the globe. There is no mastermind dictating the making of a pencil; not even the CEO of a pencil company could tell you exactly how to make one. It takes the little bits of know-how of thousands of individuals—loggers in California, factory workers in China, miners in Sri Lanka, and everyone in between—to bring an ordinary wooden pencil into being. By trading their skills and labor for wages, these individuals each bring the pencil a step closer into being.
This is the miracle of the free market. People who are strangers to each other—who might even hate each other if they ever met—are cooperating every day to produce goods that others want, need and enjoy. Markets compel men and women to voluntarily arrange themselves into efficient patterns of production through the pursuit of their individual self-interests. Without this constant spontaneous cooperation, the modern wonders of our world would not exist.
CEI President Fred L. Smith, Jr. said:
"Throughout my career, I've sought new and better means of communicating classical liberal ideas to people of all political persuasions. This year, I am stepping down as president of CEI so that I can continue this undertaking full-time as a policy analyst. It was with great pleasure that I shepherded the production of I, Pencil during this transition. Leonard Read's original essay continues to be one of the most poignant free-market narratives I've ever come across. I'm proud of CEI's film adaptation of Read's work, and I'm very hopeful it will successfully bring classical liberal ideas to new and diverse audiences."
If you know any teens, get them to watch this video. It is well worth their time.
"The only end of writing is to enable the reader better to enjoy life, or better to endure it."
–Samuel Johnson

I loved this house in good old Lakewood when I first saw it in 2009. Retro but modern, clean lines and great vintage accessories. Love the camera collection and old projector. We remodeled our house in the early 60's and had all turquoise appliances.
Good job, kids.
Where is the painting from that is above the bed in the room with the white linens and dark teak throw on the end of the bed?
What a great photo! I love turquoise and I love dachshunds!
Somehow I missed that original house tour post, but I went back and looked at every picture and I love their house! It's so well put together and full of interesting details. These look like very cool people with a lot of fascinating interests.
Plus, I have a theory that is impossible to be unhappy in a turquoise room. Add those two little furry guys, and I am guessing this house if full of lots of happy times.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful house!
I am so in love with this house.

Senior year things changed. At a bible study that asked what are you doing for yourself that is bigger than the beyond? Bigger than possession. What matters beyond you? Got him thinking. Not just about money, its not about working. Then he changes his perspective. Transformed a lot. Found himself in college and was living for himself. Started to say,, am I going to embrace what I?ve grown up with. Or am I going to walk away from all of that. College was a huge turning point. Am I going to go for me or just because that?s what I?ve grown up with? After college got married moved to Tulsa. Suit and tie every day doing marketing. Worked with all kinds of different companies. His job was being the link between the business and the marketing station. Love his job. Had a blast doing it. met a lot of people and experienced a lot of new businesses. Plugged into a local church while he was there. Wanted a place where he could make an impact. Wanted to work with the youth group because they could relate to them. Started out small and awkward. Progressed and built relationships, began to see a change in life. They were able to help the youth group by just being available to them and show they what they were capable of. Expectation at work became very demanding. He was more passionate about the church? job wanted him to come in on Saturdays. Didn?t want to take work home or work on Saturdays. There was an internal conflict for him. The church and job began to conflict. Saw the impact the church had on him. Quit his job. Grew with the church. Wanted to build a foundation in Chicago. Went to Texas next. 3 � years was the pastor. Moved out to phoenix 1 year and 6 months ago. Day to day schedule: never has an average day. Very exciting because he doesn?t like sitting at a desk all day. Sometimes he?s meeting with kids and parents. Other days, he is planning events, planning sermons, super bowl parties. Important part is that the experience in rewarding. He loves the feeling of making a difference in other student?s lives. They make it better for other people and give them advise and vision. That to him is much more rewarding than making money for the marketing company. He wanted to make the relationship deeper. He wanted to enrich people?s lives. They know he cares about them. Learned that people don?t care how much you know. They care about how much you care. They want to make sure you?re there to invest time with them and be there for them.

The New England Patriots are currently a mess at the tight end position for a few different reasons, which has caused many to consider failed quarterback and media darling (or is it cult following?) Tim Tebow to be the attempted answer at the position.
Maybe not.
ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss certainly doesn't see a position change in the cards, as he told Sportscenter recently. Rotoworld has the full report and some analysis:
Per Reiss, the Pats have "made it pretty clear" Tebow is in Foxboro to compete for third-string quarterback duties. There are no imminent plans for a position change, as New England has already stockpiled its offseason roster with tight ends behind Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. The other TEs are Jake Ballard, Daniel Fells, Michael Hoomanawanui, Zach Sudfeld, and Brandon Ford.
Time for a quick update—The best tight end in the NFL is Rob Gronkowski, but there's a chance the Patriots could be without him for some time after multiple foream issues and some new back issues that cropped up recently.
Behind him is Aaron Herenandez who, as you probably already know, is involved in a murder investigation and has a paper warrant out for his arrest for an obstruction of justice count—and that could be just the beginning as things start to develop.
Thus the natural thought process that Tebow would be tried as a tight end.
Tebow's a heck of an athlete and his time as a quarterback in the league in any serious capacity is more than likely over. After perusing the names Rotoworld provided, the Patriots certainly have better depth at the position than initially thought. Still, trying Tebow there could lead to some surprising results.
What do you think?

1999 Lexus GS 400 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 4 reviews
The 1999 GS 400 was just the second installment of the vehicle, so there were no changes from the 1998 model-year offering. The car retained its powerful, 4.0-liter, V8 engine.
That engine produced 300 horsepower and offered acceleration from zero to 60 miles per hour in 6 seconds. Later, 4.3-liter versions of the GS 400 did not improve significantly on those numbers.
"You cant fix perfection," wrote one owner when asked what improvements he'd like to see on the GS 400. Safety-conscious drivers were a bit put off by the rear-wheel drive, but performance-minded driving enthusiasts would not have accepted the GS 400 any other way.

Prosecutors have dropped charges against a Murray chiropractor accused of billing a mentally disabled woman for treatments he did not provide.
Third District Judge Paul Maughan in April ordered the dismissal of all charges against John O. Meadors, a chiropractor at Utah Spine and Disc Inc. In a court filing, prosecutors sought to drop charges "in the interests of justice" and because the victim and "a necessary witness" were unable to testify.
Meadors was charged in December with one count of second-degree felony exploitation of a vulnerable adult. According to the charges, a woman who suffers from mental retardation visited Meadors' Murray office in June for treatment for severe headaches.
Prosecutors claimed that the woman, without the knowledge of her legal guardian, was given an application for a $6,000 line of credit and a contract for 20 treatment sessions. Payment records showed the credit account was billed for more than $5,000 even though the woman only received three treatments, prosecutors previously wrote.
Meadors did not know about the disputed payments until he was arrested, said his attorney Harold Reiser.
"There was some miscommunication along the line," Reiser said. "Dr. Meadors never got a request from the family … for a refund. We understood that [the creditor] had eventually refunded all the patient's money they had financed, and Dr. Meadors sent a refund check to the patient that was never claimed."
Reiser said the dismissal of the charges was "fair and appropriate."

Google Print Ads: No Measurement, No Joy
Ian Lurie Dec 27 2005
Google's been dabbling in print ads, and the results so far haven't been great, says Business Week. They cite lack of flexible pricing, higher costs and an inability to target ads the same way Google Adwords does online.
I think there's a different reason: Measurement.
Folks flock to Adwords pay-per-click ads because they can measure them. If you spend $5 on Adwords, you'll know whether that investment generated $10. In print, though, there's no reliable way to do that. So the investment is higher, and the measurability is lower.
Until Google finds a way to mitigate this, they'll have a hard time moving into print.
Ian's prediction for 2006: Look for Google to set up an 800-number system where print ads are routed through a central Google switchboard, so you at least know whether the ad's generating calls.

Medical school's department of psychiatry
1983 by the American Psychiatric Association
The authors examine the clinical application of DSM-lII from the perspective of the consultation-liaison psychiatrist. They discuss contributions of DSM-III that have refined psychiatric diagnosis in medical-surgical settings, induding the multiaxial system, a broaderapproach to the organic mental disorders, introduction of the category of psychological factors affecting physical condition, and an improved class, fication of disorders that present with physical symptoms. However, some areas of continuing ambiguity remain, such as bow much discretion a clinician has to discount somatic symptoms related to physical illness in the diagnosis ofdepression, the implications of exempting bereavement from diagnostic status, and uncertainty about what constitutes evidence of an etiological relationship.

Fucking love this. The description of chill pretty much suits the track perfectly. This is like deadmau5 meets stimming, which is a great combination. I actually wanna know if I could maybe remix it? Depending on what vsts you used. Message me if you're cool with it man.
Glad you like it! Well i would love to have someone remixing it. But sadly I've overwritten the project file :(. If i still had I'd send you stems and midi, but i don't :/. Anyway, i was actually inspired by deadmau5 (which would explain the synth lead).
