MONDAY, Sept. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Breast cancer survivors are
more likely to die due to poor overall health if their ability to
perform day-to-day physical tasks has been affected by the disease
or treatment, a new study has found.
Researchers followed 2,202 breast cancer survivors in California
and Utah for up to 11 years after their diagnosis. The risk of
dying from breast cancer was the same for those with physical
limitations and for those who had no physical problems, according
to the report published in the Sept. 22 online edition of the
Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
However, those with physical limitations were much more likely
to die from other diseases. The study also found that older and
overweight patients were more likely to have physical limitations
for at least 18 months after treatment.
These impairments, which occur in as many as 39 percent of
breast cancer survivors -- affect motion, strength and dexterity.
This can lead to an inability to kneel, lift items heavier than 10
pounds, handle small objects, to stand in place, to sit for long
periods, to walk up and down a flight of stairs, or to walk two or
three city blocks.
"Our study provides evidence of why it is important to develop interventions that improve physical function, to mitigate the adverse effects of physical limitations. Intervention strategies -- on the part of the individual, the community and the health provider -- should emphasize physically active lifestyles," study author Dejana Braithwaite, an assistant professor of cancer epidemiology at the University of California San Francisco's Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, said in a UCSF/Kaiser Permanente Northern California news release.
"When we talk about improving physical function, we are talking about improving a woman's ability to perform normal functions of everyday life, like walking around the block, getting up easily from a chair or carrying a heavy bag of groceries. These activities appear to make a difference in a woman's chance of survival after a breast cancer diagnosis," senior study author Bette Caan, a senior research scientist in Kaiser's research division, said in the news release.

Hi ho Hotel Valley Ho!
If you're going to be anywhere near Arizona, you must soak in the midcentury charm of the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale. This is the place to recharge your love of all things modern and well designed. The pool, spa and swinging lounge beckon to those on vacation, while the comfortable rooms with large work area and plentiful outlets make the business traveler feel at home … or at work … maybe a bit of both.
Built in 1956, the Hotel Valley Ho is one of the few midcentury hotels still standing in Scottsdale. It rose from the desert just five years after Scottsdale was incorporated as a city and it still has the optimistic spirit of a young city of 2,000 residents on the verge of a boom.
Evelyn Foehl, who managed the hotel with her husband Robert, built the Valley Ho reputation on her belief that "to be a successful hostess in the resort hotel business, the important thing is to make your guest feel he is wanted." I'm assuming she meant her female guests as well.
The entrance to the hotel, with its steel framed door floating in a wall of glass.
Architect Edward L. Varney designed the Valley Ho, and smartly included room for future growth by adding a sub-structure that could support a seven-story tower. At a time when the one-square-mile Scottsdale had ample space to spread outward, the thought that expanding upward might be important some day was brilliant indeed. This minimalism-loving architect hid the electrical wires in tunnels, eliminating the need for unsightly utility poles, and included central air conditioning, making the Valley Ho the first year-round hotel in Scottsdale.
One aspect of the design Varney did not approve of was the arrowhead-motif concrete panels that line the property and give the Valley Ho its Flintstones-meets-Jetsons vibe. Too decorative and ornate for the architect's taste, the panels were nevertheless installed and remain in place today.
Executive suite with circular bathtub.
For two decades, the hotel thrived as a Hollywood hideaway, but after being acquired by Ramada in 1973, the Valley Ho lost its unique charm. Mirrors covered the concrete columns and the open airy interiors were transformed into dark conference halls. Fortunately, MSR Properties purchased the hotel in 2002 and fully restored the Valley Ho to its midcentury splendor. Exactly 49 years after its original opening, the Hotel Valley Ho reopened in 2005, and in January 2008, the seven-story tower that Varney had wisely planned for, was completed.
Studio guest room with plenty of counter space for working, lots of electrical outlets, Primary Pouf seating, and a very cool rolling table that should be standard equipment in every hotel room.
OH Pool bar at the Hotel Valley Ho.
I arrived at the Hotel Valley Ho as a rainbow stretched across the early evening sky. A hospitible touch, indeed.

The New Sustainable Cities
Are made-from-scratch metropolises the answer to Asia's urban overpopulation? Departures investigates.
Two years ago, 35 miles southwest of Seoul, developer Stan Gale cut the ribbon on the world's newest city—a man-made isthmus in the Yellow Sea named Songdo International Business District. In 2001, the chairman of New York–based Gale International had pledged to borrow $35 billion to build a city the size of downtown Boston, modeled on Paris, Venice and Manhattan, complete with a hundred-acre "Central Park." Songdo won't be finished until at least 2016, but Gale isn't waiting around. These days, he's pitching China's mayors on his city-in-a-box—a kit to build their own smart, green city of the future in as little as three years.
Is it even possible to build a city from scratch, at least one we would want to live in? This may be the defining challenge of our era. The earth's urban population will nearly double by 2050, requiring the construction of hundreds of new cities. China is already building the equivalent of a Rome every few weeks to absorb the 400 million migrants streaming in from the countryside. The question facing us as an urban species isn't whether to build cities tabula rasa, but how. And nowhere is this dilemma more pressing than in Asia.
The archetypal Asian city isn't Art Deco Shanghai or postwar Tokyo, but the "overnight city" of Shenzhen, which was just a fishing village when it was tapped to be China's capitalist enclave more than 30 years ago. Today, it's a sprawling metropolis of nearly 14 million, with clusters of skyscrapers sprouting from an impenetrable canopy of factories and elevated highways. Unplanned and uncontrollable, Shenzhen and its neighboring cities represent 20th-century urbanism at its worst—ugly, inequitable and unsustainable. Surely we can do better in the 21st?
Plans for utopian cities date back to the Renaissance, although a modern example is Brasília, the Oscar Niemeyer–designed, made-to-order capital built over 41 frenzied months in the 1950s. Following Brazil's lead, Malaysia started construction on its own new administrative center in the mid-'90s. Rubber and palm-oil plantations were chopped down to make room for the domes and spires of Putrajaya and its sister city, Cyberjaya, which are linked to Kuala Lumpur, 15 miles to the north, via a fiber-optic "multimedia super corridor."
Cyberjaya, which was supposed to be Southeast Asia's answer to Silicon Valley, never attracted the country's entrepreneurs. And Putrajaya ended up being a quiet, manicured campus for technocrats. Korea's Sejong, a "multifunctional administrative city" a two-hour drive south of Seoul, will likely face the same fate when the first residential zone is completed in December. Originally envisioned as the new capital, it is now slated to become the home of certain government ministries. (Last year a power struggle over Sejong's fate threatened to split the ruling Grand National Party in two, and critics doubt that many officials will actually move there from Seoul.)
More than politics, sustainability is the driving force behind these instant cities. The half of humanity that now lives in urban areas is responsible for 75 percent of all energy consumption, so building cleaner cities is key to combating climate change. This goes double for China, the world's biggest polluter. What's missing is a prototype for the cities environmentalists have in mind. Lying west of Beijing—the home of weeklong traffic jams—Mentougou Eco Valley aims to be the first.

After all the pageantry and glamour of this Sunday's much-anticipated Academy Awards has died down and the winners have been announced, the Oscars will officially draw "Red Carpet Season" to a close. But just because awards season is ending is no reason not to look like a movie star any time of the year – especially when you live in Atlantic City!
Luckily for us, Atlantic City is jam-packed with shops that are chock-full of glamorous items for men and women that can be worn and adorned at any red carpet event or to one of A.C.'s awesome restaurants, bars or clubs year-round.
Here are some of our top picks for finding sensational apparel and accessories to make you look like a million, even if it's only a regular Tuesday night.
Dress to the Nines
These last few days leading up to Sunday's broadcast of the Academy Awards naturally means that Hollywood (and everywhere else) will be abuzz with who's wearing what or whom to the big event. You, too, can cause a stir thanks to a few fabulous boutiques that are always there to help make you red-carpet ready!
Drama will abound in an exotic tribal sequined tank dress available at Talk of the Walk (The Quarter at Tropicana and The Pier Shops at Caesars). For extra spectacle, top it off with Talk's private label sequined burnout half-sleeved jacket.
Both men and women will be well-suited for their next night out with an outfit from ENextDoor. Couples will look smashing in complementary ensembles by Versace Collection – including a striking black cocktail dress with a criss-cross neckline for women and a super-hot jacquard tuxedo jacket with satin trim for guys.
Men also will look spiffy in Cafe Bleu Shirts found at Emporium at Revel. Classically cut with fun, unexpected embellishments, they look great alone or underneath a blazer.
Right Foot Forward
Shoes have become almost as important as the outfit. In fact, in many ways, your choice of shoes brings out your personality more than any other part of your garb.
That said, you'll need a killer pair for a night on the town.
Men who love comfort as well as style will go nuts for Clae Shoes at Emporium. They combine the coziness of a sneaker with the elegant designs of a dress shoe. Of special note are the sophisticated and durable Strayhorn Boot, the unpretentious Ellington and the Powell, which is a cool combination of a classic saddle shoe with a modern wing-tip.
Women can find fab shoes at Emporium, too! Such as the totally glam B Brian Atwood Shoes. These dangerously high heels come in a range of bright colors and sassy metallics. For an Oscar-worthy party, be sure to check out the gold Cassiane with its flirty chain-link fringe.
In the Bag
Of course, gals will need something to carry their necessities, such as lip gloss and breath mints. What you don't want is anything too large to distract from your dress. A little hand-held clutch is the perfect bag to clasp when dressing up.
Emporium has two that will do the trick nicely. The Vince Camuto Onyx Clutch is the perfect little evening accessory and looks absolutely adorbs with a simple black cocktail dress. Rebecca Minkoff's Wallet on Chain is sleek and shiny and the chain allows your hands freedom to hold other things, such as your martini or a cocktail wiener.
No red carpet outfit – for women OR men - would be complete without some jewels. Thankfully, A.C. shops have a variety of bling in a range of prices so you can be beautifully adorned.
Men can keep track of the time with the always-popular Invicta Pro Diver two-tone watch with a gun metal finish and rose gold accents. It can be found at Wolf Fine Jewelers (The Pier Shops at Caesars).
Also for men and also at Wolf, is the Blackjack cubic zirconium stainless steel bracelet. Guys will be dressed to impress with this stunning bracelet with 40 black and white hand-set CZs. And because it's 100 percent stainless steel, it will resist any fading, rust or corrosion.
Wolf also can satisfy the ladies with Swarovski's striking new Taina necklace and earring set, which is ideal for any dress-up occasion. Inspired by folkloric patterns, this modern set displays cuts of crystallized mesh interlinked with crystal beads. The result is a breathtaking sparkle combined with a fluid design making it very comfortable to wear.
For those who truly want to emulate their favorite celebrity, Tiffany & Co. (The Pier Shops at Caesars) has a few lovely items that have actually been seen on today's hottest celebs at recent red carpet events.
Charlize Theron was seen donning Tiffany's Metro Five-Row Diamond Hinged Bangle in 18k white gold at the Cinema for Peace Gala at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival earlier this month.
At last month's Golden Globes Awards, Best Supporting Actress nominee Amy Adams dazzled in Tiffany Lucida Diamond Earrings in Platinum.
And Oscar fave Jennifer Lawrence made a statement in Tiffany's 1837 wide cuff in RUBEDO metal at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
Thanks to these great A.C. shops, you'll be able to dazzle the crowds all year long.
Comings and Goings
Professional and amateur chefs and bakers will be pleased as punch to know of the recent opening of Kitchen Collection at Tanger Outlet, The Walk. Kitchen Collection prides themselves in carrying anything and everything a cook or baker would want, need or desire for the kitchen.

Slim Katie is an amazing motivation for all of us looking to lose weight, make a lifestyle change in any arena in our lives, or be a good role model for our families. She had an amazing story to share, and through developing her blog, Runs for Cookies, she has been able to inspire millions. She began her weight loss journey in August of 2009, and as you'll see below and in the before/after picture, has experienced some MAJOR success (congrats, Katie!), and is fighting every battle to keep of the weight all while maintaining a balanced, joyful life with her friends and family. Read about her weight loss battle, her hopes for her future, and her tidbits of inspiration to help the rest of us achieve our goals!
1. What inspired you to start writing your blog? After losing 125 pounds, I finally reached the point of weight maintenance. I had never been successful maintaining any sort of weight loss before, so I knew I was going to need all the help I could get. I also thought that by having a written record of all my successes and struggles in maintenance, IF I gained the weight back, I would be able to look back and see why that happened. I started Runs for Cookies for some accountability for my actions–knowing people were reading helped to keep me on track.
2. What is your favorite aspect about being part of an online blogging community? There is so much support! When I have a bad day, or I gain a few pounds, there are dozens of people telling me that it will be okay–I can get right back on track. They also help me to feel "normal". It's hard to admit when I've gained a few pounds, or I've binged, but reading the comments and e-mails from others going through the same thing helps me to realize I'm not alone. Being a part of the blogging community also gives me accountability for my actions–everybody knows when I've gained weight or had a bad day and ate everything in sight.
3. What is your favorite topic to blog about? I really like to blog about running. I imagine it's boring to read, but when I was overweight, running is something I never imagined I could do–so I get a little "runner's high" every time I go for a run, whether it's 3 miles or 26.2 miles. I like to write about my running splits and goal times; race reports; future races that I'd like to do–anything and everything about running!
4. In your opinion, what is the best feature on your blog? I think one of the most helpful features on my blog is probably the series I wrote about my skin removal surgery. I had a lower-body lift, and when I was researching about it prior to surgery, I couldn't find much information. I made sure to document everything before and after my surgery, and I wrote all about the good, the bad, and the ugly of skin removal surgery. I've gotten many e-mails from people who have found it helpful in deciding whether the surgery was something they wanted to pursue. It was actually because of that series that I actually met Rik, who is going to captain my Ragnar Relay team in January. We are running a relay race with a total of 12 of us who have lost an average of 100 pounds each and become runners. It is going to be made into a documentary called From Fat to Finish Line. Very exciting stuff! And all of it came about because of my posts about my surgery.
5. Where do your fitness routines come from? When I register for a race, I print out a race schedule from HalHigdon.com–I choose a schedule based on my goals. I really like his running plans, because he has a plan for everyone–novice, intermediate, and advanced runners.
6. What advice do you have for moms and women on getting a workout in with a busy schedule? Fit it in where you can! My husband works crazy hours, and I can't maintain a consistent workout schedule because of my kids (obviously someone has to be home with them). When my husband works nights, he gets home at 6:30 in the morning–so I will be all ready to head out for a run when he walks in the door. When he works days, he gets home at 6:30 pm, so I will go for a run at night time. I also have a treadmill for those times when I absolutely cannot get out for a run. Something else I've done is asked a friend to watch my kids while I fit in a run, and then I will watch her kids while she gets in her run. Having friends like that helps out a lot!
7. What is your favorite exercise? I think that's pretty obvious–running! The only time I don't love running is when I'm actually doing it I love the way running makes me feel afterward–my muscles feel tired, I'm covered in sweat, and I feel like I really worked my body hard. I also like that it's a sport where I only compete with myself. I don't run races to win them… I run races to better my times or challenge myself to run farther distances. I never thought I would be a runner; when I was overweight, I couldn't imagine why ANYONE would choose to run. And now I am calling it my favorite exercise–go figure!
8. What are your fitness goals? My current goals are to run a sub-26:00 5K race, and to run a sub-2:00:00 half-marathon. But overall, my fitness goal is to keep active in order to maintain my weight loss. I am terrified of gaining the weight back, and by challenging myself with running goals, I am always working toward something.
9. What is your best tip on getting the most out of your workouts? To get the most out of your workouts, it's important to set mini-goals. Maybe it's to lift a heavier weight, or to run or walk a faster mile. Every time I go for a run, I have a goal–whether it's running it in a certain time or even to run slow and easy, which is good for my mental health. Also, it's important to challenge your OWN body–working out with a friend is fun, and I love to do that sometimes, but I know that to get the most out of my workout, I have to work on my own goals.
10. What is your favorite fitness DVD or fitness class? I tried fitness classes with a friend once, and it didn't go so well–I'm terribly uncoordinated! I think that's why I've never done well with the DVD's or classes, and I don't enjoy them. With running, all I have to do is put one foot in front of the other, so it doesn't require much thinking.
11. If you could have any celebrity be your personal trainer, living or dead, who would it be? I would love to have Jillian Michaels train me–just once!–because I'm sure she would kick my ass. She would probably make me do things I never thought I could do, and I would be too scared of her to say no!

Acts 1:8 Challenge: Officially launched in May 2004, it is a call for Southern Baptist Convention churches to move to a new level of missions commitment by cooperating with their local Baptist association, their state convention, the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and the International Mission Board (IMB) to take the Gospel to their community (Jerusalem), region (Judea), continent (Samaria), and the world (ends of the earth).
church-planting movement: a rapidly multiplying increase of indigenous churches planting churches within a given people group or population segment
chronological Bible storying: a method of evangelizing, discipling and training a people by relating to them, in a culturally suitable manner, the great stories of the Bible from creation to redemption to the return of Christ
Cooperative Program: a partnership of missions support launched in 1925 among individual Southern Baptists, churches, state conventions and SBC entities. Southern Baptists support missions in their state, nation and world by giving "through" (not "to") the Cooperative Program
ends of the earth: the IMB's passion and vision to see the Great Commission fulfilled and the kingdom of God extended among all peoples
evangelical: those Christians who generally emphasize 1) the Lord Jesus Christ as the sole source of salvation through faith in Him, 2) personal faith and conversion with regeneration by the Holy Spirit, 3) recognition of the inspired Word of God as the only basis for faith and Christian living and 4) commitment to biblical preaching and evangelism that brings others to faith in Jesus Christ
house churches: small bodies of approximately 10-30 believers meeting in homes or storefronts, which are generally not organized under a single authority or hierarchy of authorities
indigenous: generated from within or capable of originating from within the local context
Last Frontier people group: unreached people group for which the majority of its members have little or no access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (LMCO): Southern Baptist churches collect the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for the sole purpose of supporting international missions. The offering is named for Charlotte Diggs Moon, who first suggested that Southern Baptists collect money at Christmas to support foreign missions. She was appointed a missionary herself in 1873 and served in China for 39 years.
man of peace: a person in a people group who is receptive to the Gospel and who can be used by a missionary to reach others in his group
Masters Program: designed for those 50 years of age or older who are available to make a two- or three-year commitment to serve overseas, utilizing the maturity, skills and experience they have gained during their lifetime
missionary apprentice: An individual appointed for overseas service with the IMB who is assigned to a three-year term under the supervision and mentoring of an experienced missionary. Following the three-year term a missionary apprentice may be redesignated as a career missionary or missionary associate.
missionary associate: an individual appointed for a four-year renewable term of missionary service who may not meet the educational or age requirements for career service
personalization: A strategy implemented by the IMB to increase the involvement of churches and SBC partners in global missions. Goals include training missionaries to establish and nurture personalized relationships with churches and other partners; and training IMB staff to provide quality, personalized service to churches, state conventions, associations and other SBC entities.
prayerwalking: on-site intercession—walking and talking with God, hearing and heeding His voice, seeing and sensing as He does
strategy coordinator: a missionary or church who takes responsibility for developing a comprehensive plan aimed at initiating and nurturing a church-planting movement among an unreached people group or population segment
unengaged people group: any people group without an evangelical church-planting methodology being implemented
unreached people group: a people group comprised of less than 2 percent evangelical Christians
volunteer: used in reference to participants in the IMB's home office volunteer program and for overseas personnel serving four months or less

'Best Start in 19 Years' for Devils Lake Ice Fishing
By: Devils Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau
"Conditions are perfect this year on Devils Lake. We've never seen 24
inches of ice by January 1 before and fish are biting," said Zippy Dahl,
captain of the legendary Perch Patrol guide team. "It's the best start
ever, and with almost no snow, it's easy to get around the lake," he said.
Zippy said the North Dakota fisheries survey reports of record numbers of
big perch are coming true. "Most clients are limiting out, and that means
28 people with our seven guides coming in with buckets full," he said.
Since surveys began, populations of large perch are at record levels.
Devils Lake area biologist Todd Caspers said, "Since our surveys began in
1992, we now have a record level of 12-inch and larger perch in the system,
with most of those being right at a foot long or slightly bigger." The
actual numbers show the current level of 12-inch plus perch to be three
times the average.
Asked why the perch are showing such a dramatic spike, Zippy felt with
Devils Lake holding fairly stable the past three years that heavier weed
growth was contributing to sanctuaries for small perch plus providing more
food sources for bigger perch.
When the huge mid-December snow storms crept across the Midwest, they seemed
to go around sprawling Devils Lake. "The storms went north and south of us,
but never dumped, and what little snow fell got blown away," he said. Ice
anglers with 4-wheel drive trucks are experiencing the best travel in years.
His ice guides have been all over the lake, east and west, on the flats and
in the deep main-lake holes. "We have had success everywhere," Zippy said.
"We can't wait to drill the next hole to see what's down there." Perch have
been biting all day, with quite a few one to two pound walleyes and some
white bass mixed in. "The perch bite has been so good that in the past
month we have only chased walleyes a couple half days," he said. The walleye
limits are five per angler per day and 10 in possession. The perch limits
are 20 daily and 80 in possession.
Perch Patrol: 701-351-3474 or perchpatrol.com.
Go to devilslakend.com for a map of the nine convenient public drive-on
accesses. Visiting anglers will appreciate the fish-cleaning station
located next door to Ed's Bait Shop (on Hwy 20 south of the City of Devils
Lake). The 20 x 32 station, like the Devils Lake fishing season, is open
all year. The heated building has two grinders, a clean-up sink, regular
and handicapped bathrooms, and is free to the public.
Devils Lake fishing guides target perch, walleyes, white bass and pike. To
contact guides and for the latest lake and ice conditions, fishing reports,

You Can Cry All You Want to...
(#) kitkatpwl 2008-06-28 11:24:53 PMWow!!
Intense rehab! haha
I don't think that Mikey's going to be able to follow all those rules, I really don't. It's just like, don't most people say the addict has to want to get better before it can happen? If he's being forced in there, I don't see him simply complying readily to all those rules simply to make his brother and band mates happy. That's a little too fairy tale, and I gonna take a guess and say that's not what this story is. ;)
I can't wait for the next update - I really like this story!
Author's responsei love you...

Wiseau in 2010

|Years active
Tommy Wiseau (/wəˈsoʊ/) is an American director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. He is best known for The Room (2003), which has been described as "one of the worst movies ever made" and has gained cult film status.[1] He also directed the 2004 documentary Homeless in America and the pilot episode of a sitcom The Neighbors.[2][3]
Wiseau is secretive about his early life.[4] In interviews following the release of The Room, Wiseau gave an age which puts his birth date in 1968 or 1969.[5] He claimed to have grown up in New Orleans, Louisiana,[6][7] and to have lived in France "a long time ago",[8] moving back and forth between the United States and Europe throughout his life. Wiseau spent some time in France before moving to Chalmette, Louisiana.[9]
In his 2013 memoir The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room, actor Greg Sestero related that Wiseau offered several stories about his past, over the course of their 15-year friendship.[10] Sestero claims to have obtained copies of Wiseau's immigration papers via his brother's girlfriend, revealing that Wiseau was "much older" than he claimed,[10] and that he was born in the 1950s somewhere in the Eastern Bloc of communist Europe. Sestero claims that Wiseau moved to Strasbourg, France as a young adult, where he adopted the name Pierre and worked as a restaurant dishwasher.[10] After being wrongfully arrested following a drug raid at the youth hostel where he was staying, Sestero claims that Wiseau was detained and tortured for an indeterminate period of time by French police, a traumatic experience that led him to arrange passage to America to live with his aunt and uncle in Chalmette, Louisiana.[10]
Sestero claims that Wiseau later moved to San Francisco, where he worked as a street vendor selling toys to tourists near Fisherman's Wharf. Locals nicknamed him "The Birdman" for his unique bird toys that were only popular in Europe at the time; this moniker led him to legally change his name to Thomas Pierre Wiseau, "taking the French word for bird, oiseau, and swapping out the O for the W of his birth name".[10] Some have also suggested that the "W" may be related to Wieczor, the surname of his aunt and uncle in Louisiana.[11] According to Sestero, Wiseau worked in the San Francisco Bay Area in a variety of jobs, including restaurant busboy and hospital worker, as well as a second business called Street Fashions USA, selling irregular blue jeans at discounted prices. Wiseau eventually purchased and rented out large retail spaces in and around San Francisco and Los Angeles, making him independently wealthy.[10] At some point in late adulthood, Wiseau was involved in a near-fatal car crash in California after another driver ran a red light and struck Wiseau's vehicle; as a result, Wiseau was hospitalized for several weeks. Sestero believes that this incident was the turning point in Wiseau's life that led him to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor and director, ambitions that he had long neglected while pursuing financial security.[10]
Wiseau has stated that he has been influenced by the films The Guns of Navarone and Citizen Kane, and specifically the actors James Dean and Marlon Brando.[12][13][14] According to Sestero, Wiseau's obsession with James Dean was so intense that he often visited a Los Angeles restaurant owned by a former acquaintance of Dean's, and that several lines of dialogue in The Room (including the infamous cry "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!") were based on lines from Rebel Without a Cause.[10]
Wiseau's best known production is the film The Room, released in 2003. Its budget was $6 million, the financing of which has remained a source of intrigue, and was based on an unpublished 540-page novel written by Wiseau himself.[14] The movie was immediately lambasted by critics,[15] but ultimately became a "cult classic" with late-night showings at theaters around the country. Audience members typically arrive wearing wigs resembling their favorite characters, interact with the dialogue on screen, and throw plastic cutlery and footballs around the theater. This attention grew into what was dubbed The Room's 2010–2011 "Love is Blind" International Tour, with the movie being screened in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Australia and India, among other locations. Wiseau appears at many of these events, posing for photographs with fans and often addressing the audience before screenings.[16]
In 2004 Wiseau produced and appeared in a short documentary, Homeless in America. In 2010, Wiseau acted in a short film entitled The House That Drips Blood on Alex, a parody horror film written and produced by sketch comedy group Studio8. The film had a preview showing at Comic-Con on July 24, 2010. It premiered on Comedy Central and appeared online on October 14, 2010.[17][18]
In 2008, Wiseau produced and appeared in the pilot episode of a television series called The Neighbors. A trailer for The Neighbors showed a series of clips set in an office. As of October 2011, the pilot had not been picked up by any network.[3] In 2009, Wiseau guest-starred in an episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! entitled "Tommy", wherein Wiseau guest-directed a segment entitled "Pigman". After expressing a desire to work with the duo again,[12] Tim and Eric announced in 2009 that they were developing two series for Wiseau.[19]
In 2011, Wiseau starred in a YouTube web series called Tommy Explains it All, in which he explained his views on various topics ranging from Citizen Kane to the art of kissing.[20] Wiseau has also starred in segments on Machinima.com called The Tommy Wi-Show. The segments show Wiseau playing various video games, such as Mortal Kombat, and offering commentary.[21][22]

We really liked this variation on a regular bread dressing. I made a 2nd type of dressing as well and would recomend serving 2 kinds if you are doing this for Thanksgiving. You can taste a little of the soy sauce, so traditional purists may be put off. The marinade helped to give the dish a beautiful color. We did use real Portuguese sausage (found in the nick off time, at store closing the night before Thanksgiving), but you could easily substitute any smoked sausage. Our Portuguese sausage had more spice than Polish but less spice than Andouille.

Very important for management to prescent before subordinetes.
The real WTF isn't this company. The real WTF is not walking out on day two.
Or else, walking out instead of mopping the floor.
The alleged problem caused by developers customising their desktops (no automatic familiarity with the layout on a colleague's machine) is trivial to solve, of course. Roaming profiles have their problems, especially if you have a mix of Windows versions - profiles rarely roam cleanly in this case - but they are the best solution to this problem.
All of which assumes (1) a Windows-based network, (2) an NT-style domain, and (3) a semi-competent admin. Of course, the admin is probably Frank, but that's just one more reason to go.
Run. Grab your belongings and leave. Things will only get worse.
A highly-educated friend once got a job designing exhibits for a science museum. On the first day they handed her a mop "because of budget cuts". It was also her last day.
OMG, so epic!!! Now run!!!
Wow I don't believing this at all. In India we have cleaning crew coming in every day twice to clean floor and carpet. Is this America or some other god forsaked country?
Roaming profiles are Windows' lame attempt to kludge around a pathetic problem that springs from their own failure to do it The Right Way like any mature OS did 30 years ago. (Hint: data can travel at the speed of light. There is no need for it to "roam".)
But even without them, how the hell would one developer's desktop have any effect on what another developer saw?
Methinks the WTF runs deep here. And the "F" clearly stands for Frank.

This. I would be somewhat annoyed by a boss micromanaging coffee breaks when I'm out of a resource - knowledge, in this case - I need to do my job. I would be extremely bored by a freaking 4 hour-long design meeting, in which 3 hours are purely about things that do not concern me now or in a near future, but that's still within acceptable boundaries. I would also hate to go through said 4-hour long meetings without as much as a 5 minutes break, but I still wouldn't jump the boat yet.
But the cleaning part? It's too much stupidity to bear
Re: Difficult Personality
2012-04-10 09:48 • by Don (unregistered)
Erm what's the difference between the two??
TRWTF is that the begin part about trying to get a meeting with Bill seemed to be completely unrelated to the rest of the story. Seriously, WTF?!?
Oh, wait, it started with him trying to setup a Friday meeting, and then he couldn't because he had the Friday mop-and-slop. So he lost an entire Friday and part of Monday.
I should really read more carefully.
You know, come to think of it, why not have a small coffee machine at each desk, for greater time efficiency? It's not like they're expensive nowadays.
Serves me right for expecting a better end to that story... :( Oh well.
Thats the kind of workplace where you are a soldier. You do what is told and never volunteer for anything.
What The Frank?
Capcha: wisi - I wisi never have to work for Frank.
You people and your customized desktop backgrounds make me sick. Creating new folders and organizing your files differently. You all think you're a bunch of special little snowflakes, don't you?
This is why the musicians' union mandates a quick break every 90 minutes: that's about the amount of time you can expect full productivity from people before they start getting bored or squirrelly.
A boss that micro-manages but then have his developers clean the office?
Re: Difficult Personality
2012-04-10 10:22 • by Anon (unregistered)
Wow! Passive-aggreive much? Editing my psts for me intead of repling is a bit underhandd. And my oiginal pont stands. It sudnly switches from talking abou Bill to taling about Frnk without explation.
I understood that Bill wasn't willing to spend time educating the newbie until after the Friday afternoon cleaning session, because the chances were so high it would be wasted time when the newbie didn't come back on Monday.
Personally, I wouldn't have the slightest problem with cleaning the office. You're getting paid developer money to wander round with a mop daydreaming on Friday afternoon, resting up for the weekend, instead of trying to cudgel a last bit of work out of your tired brain at the end of the week? Sounds great to me. It's not like there's suddenly going to be a rush surprise clean-up job keeping you at your desk all evening.
True, but you'll have to stretch your legs sometime
It's spelled, "Whaaaaaaaaaaats happening."

Yeah, this is definitely not in California, labor law violations like that would get Frank sued into the Stone Age.
But yes, the RWTF is why is anyone working for this fool.
This is standard operating procedure in a startup where the boss/grand poobah thinks he's God. And the response (i.e. quitting) is SOP too, although usually anyone with a clue doesn't wait a week they do it the second day.

Um, yeaaaaaah, Alex, I'm going to have to ask you to post a WTF report on Thursdays now.
Oh, oh, and I almost forgot. Ahh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and post one on Saturday and Sunday, too.
(And I think Remy really should've cornified "lumberghed".)
You know who else wanted to be a special little snowflake? Hitler
TRWTF is that there's an innate assumption in these comments that people can just afford to quit a job because it sucks without first having another job to go to.
In reality, normal people would see that their job is terrible and immediately begin looking for a new job while trying to milk the old job for all the pay you can. That pretty much seems like what Steve did.
Mopping the floor is weird and extremely uneconomical, but a nice break from the dev work. Four hour long meetings every week, however - that'd really kill me!
Googled "lumbergh", still no wiser. You want to make up new gerunds, fine. Just use something those who aren't USians might have a cat in hell's chance of understanding.
Are you allowed to work in IT without having seen Office Space? I thought that was codified as an international standard by the UN. - Remy

If it truly makes people more productive overall, the union wouldn't have to mandate it. The employers would require it, in their own self interest.
Yeah, I got nothing ....
The article was the troll today. I'm calling BS. What's on deck for tomorrow?
Other than the mop that sounds suspiciously like a previous employer.
Although they insisted on 9-6 working with zero flexibility.
I was rather glad when I got to sit in several meetings thinking "I don't care, 'cos you're getting my notice soon" while he was thinking that my few days off (clearly interview days off) hadn't panned out right for me ;)

I'm astonished by the arrogant attitude here. As a highly paid individual, when your boss gives you a mop you do that cleaning work. It's his decision.
I'd fire people with such an attitude just because of their sheer arrogance. If you are too good to wield a mop, you're certainly not good enough to develop my software. People like this can certainly not be trusted to do the dirty work when things take the wrong turn.
Now I admit that you should spent 95% of your time developing, but it's just no attitude to be too good for any kind of work. I'd fire such arrogant pricks immediatelly.
I honestly had a hard time with this article largely because of what you're saying. My first job was the sort of place where you were expected to do anything that needed doing. The job description for every position included a line "And any other duties assigned."
At the same time- that was a summer camp, and not exactly a highly professional environment. Nowadays, if my boss asked me to sweep up, I wouldn't get pissy about it, but I'd have to seriously wonder why they're putting an expensive IT resource on scut work like that- that sort of resource misallocation is the sure sign of something wrong.

I hope you are being sarcastic, because otherwise I am astonished by your stupidity. If I were your boss, I would ask you to work as a sex worker or a hired gun, because it is my decision, and as per your own principles, you must accept it.
Sounds good to me.
No, really, in most parts of the world developers are far to expensive to do cleaning work.

You want to make up new adjectives, fine, but the internationally-accepted term for people from the US (in English) is "American".
I kind of doubt that you actually searched for it. The top hit is a Wikipedia page (a good start) that clearly explains the character.
In English, technology, and business, "adapting" words to other parts of speech is standard, well-known practice. Hence, lumbergh (v.): to do something in the fashion of Lumbergh.

"...we can't afford to waste a minute of time just because you needed to be a special little snowflake."
I can't argue much with Frank's logic here. I have said this, verbatim, before.

I get paid $50/hr. That's about 5x what cleaning crews make. If you want to pay me to mop, I'll do it, but don't expect me working weekends to make up for it.

Waht? Moping is half the responsibilty in IT job. Other job is dust and keep cattle out of server room.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) -- The public had their chance to view plans and ask questions about a proposed railroad crossing overpass.
The options include two overpass and two underpass designs to get Hoover Avenue and Country Club Drive past the extremely busy Canadian National Railroad tracks, which are at the east end of the Stevens Point rail yard.
Kevin Hagen is the Project Manager from AECOM, who says the feedback has been positive. "In general, very positive feedback. The community really feels that this is a necessary project that we're talking about here. A few concerns regarding what's going to happen at the ends and access, but in general, everyone's very much for the project."
Hagen says they've taken some notes after hearing comments from the public. He's hoping the city council can give them some direction next. "Next, we will get a preferred alternative from the city, hopefully within a month or so, and then we will complete our environmental report, submit that for approval, and then once that's approved, we'll move into some final design."
Mayor Andrew Halverson was also at the informational meeting, and received many favorable comments about this project. "Very positive. You know, folks are extremely excited about this opportunity. We've wrestled with this as a community for over 30 years. It's something that folks are unbelievably inconvenienced by."
Halverson says the railroad and the commerce that brings is important, but so is solving this crossing problem because it slows response times from Fire Station number two and it holds people up for long periods of time, affecting hundreds of workers in that area. "I have literally gotten calls from people on cell phones, screaming from their car in traffic at this crossing. They've been there for 20, 25, 30 minutes. That is a real issue."
The lowest-cost option to build the crossing is 12.3 million dollars. Halverson says some of the funding that would be used was earmarked by former Congressman David Obey before he left office.
The grade separation project to get vehicle traffic past the trains has been considered a wish that was too expensive until just recently. Now, it could actually begin with construction in 2017.

This was the first time I have tried a B&B, and now I feel like I have been completely spoiled, and I will never have another B&B experience quite so nice. Madison was a wonderful host, and made me feel right at home. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the bathroom was very clean, and it was quiet. The neighborhood was lovely and very close to downtown Charlotte. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and saved a lot of money compared to the rates of the downtown hotels. I will definitely stay at Edna Inn again if/when I visit Charlotte again.

Thank you and I enjoyed having you as a stellar guests!

We made a last minute decision to stay at a B&B instead of a hotel . What a great move. The Edna Inn is a warm and inviting place to stay. Spotless. Madison was a wonderful hostess and made our stay that much nicer. If your looking for a comfortable , inviting place to stay you cant go wrong.

The Edna Inn was a phenomenal stop for us. It was warm, welcoming, and quiet. Our room was clean and comfortable, and from the moment we stepped inside we felt at home. Madison was a wonderful hostess and breakfast was great! We'd highly recommend the Edna Inn!

The Edna Inn will be my first choice of lodging in Charlotte from now on. The accommodations were very nice, the proprietor was gracious, and the breakfasts were perfect. A home away from home.

I have stayed at the Edna Inn each time I've come to Charlotte for business since and found it infinitely preferable to any hotel stay. Comfortable, convenient, stylish, quiet, welcoming, privacy-I can't say enough positive! And I find that I do better business when I am well rested and comfortable in between all the demands of the day. Highly recommended!

From our first conversation to our final goodbyes, Madison was an excellent hostess who provided excellent suggestions for activities and places to eat. We experienced every comfort of home in this home away from home. A quiet evening by the fire after a long day of shopping and seeing Charlotte was just what the doctor ordered. A hearty breakfast the next morning made us ready for meetings and a our long ride home. When we return to Charlotte, I only hope we will be able to find space with Madison once more.

My wife and I just spent two nights at Edna's Inn and found that it was ideal for us. Madison made sure everything was just right and offered many suggestions for what to see/do in Charlotte area. I liked being so close to downtown - we could be in uptown in less than 10 minutes. I especially liked the art work that is up in every room of the house. Very tastefully done. Madison made special arrangements for breakfast due to my wife's dietary restrictions.

We stayed in the Charleston Room, with our own private bath, and had a lovely stay. Easy access to downtown, airport, and highways. Wonderful breakfast, delicious and pretty healthy! Madison is a gracious host and goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need as well as offering great suggestions for things to do and see. We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend here. Thanks Madison!

My husband surprised me with a weekend in Charlotte for my b.d. Madison was very flexible and gracious. Her home is beautiful and the Charleston Suite was perfect for us. It was very spacious and comfortable. She had lots of little touches that made us feel special! The breakfast was so yummy and she was very concerned about what we liked. Madison is an excellent hostess and we would definitely stay at the Edna Inn again.

The Edna in was really nice and Madision was just fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

As production continues on the next grand Muppets adventure, things are being kept somewhat under a tight lock and key as to what other major faces could pop up during the gang's European caper. In true fashion of our felt and fuzzy friends, the film is set to feature major cameos across the board but so far we've only heard of one other star appearing alongside our supporting trio of lead human characters.
Now, it seems the most beloved villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be looking for a few laughs come next Spring as a new rumor has surfaced he could get some screen time with Kermit the Frog.
it's said he'll play the role of The Great Escapo, which by the sound of it seems to be a street magician of some sorts....

This is a delicious recipe that will "WOW" the crowd. The only change I made to the recipe was using gluten free/dairy free bread crumbs and used King Arthur gluten free flour to thicken the sauce. I would say that it is definitely more than 35 minutes of hands-on time, but well worth it!

5 stars for time consuming
crisij Posted: 12/26/12
Made this for Christmas dinner - really delicious- everyone raved. Followed the recipe without substitutions or additions. My only suggestion - preparation is very time-consuming, esp if done on Christmas day - next time I'd prepare entirely the day before. then brown and roast on the holiday.
TryAnythingOnce Posted: 11/27/12
Did not have dried cherries on hand, so I used dried cranberries instead. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. It was excellent! I will be making this for a holiday dinner party.
Kalifish Posted: 01/01/13
My in-laws made this dish for our Christmas dinner and it was a hit! The butcher sliced and pounded the pork for them, which was a huge help. They used store bought bread crumbs and added spicy chicken sausage to the bread mixture. They also decided to leave out the port and honestly, no one missed it. The roast was moist and delicious, a beautiful dish for a special occasion. Thin slices of the leftover roast were used to make scrumptious sandwiches!
TracyVision Posted: 12/30/12
A bit time consuming in the preparation but it turned out lovely. It took me a little more than an hour to get this in the oven, but it was worth the time invested. I used a 1 lb pork tenderloin but I made the rest of the recipe as noted (except for time, it took only 30 mins at 400 to come out perfectly medium). I didn't use all the stuffing because my tenderloin was so much smaller than the recipe, so I simply heated the leftover stuffing and served it on the side. I finely diced up the half a head of fennel I had left, mixed it with some diced onion and sautéed it before mixing into my mashed potatoes. The slight hint of fennel in the potatoes was a nice compliment to the pork. The port sauce, however, is the star of this show. And I don't think that just because I had a glass (or was it two?) of the port while I was cooking.
JRBMOM Posted: 02/18/13
Very time consuming but well worth it. My daughter complained it was a bit too sweet. I thought it was fine. I used low sugar craisins. In addition I baked it in the fry pan which I had browned it in. Helps in making the gravy after it comes out of the oven. I also needed to almost double the stock in making the gravy because all the stock had evaporated. The adjustments I will make next time will be to add sausage to the stuffing and decrease the dried fruit to 1/4 cup.
hikerbuck Posted: 12/31/12
This is a fabulous entree, stuffing & port wine sauce were worth all the prep time...I would plan 3 hours start to finish or make the stuffiing a day in advance. I served it with roasted vegetables for New Years Eve with just my husband, and glad I didn't experiment with guests as it took much longer than I thought. .
KelleyKelly Posted: 12/18/12
Made this last week as a trial and it was delicious! Can't wait to make this for Christmas dinner!
EllenDeller Posted: 12/25/13
This was easy to make, and I did not not find it particularly time-consuming, just a little bland. The cherries were nice but the fennel seemed to evaporate. Don't know about the cooking over broth method either. I think I like a roast more caramelized on the outside and with a sharper flavor. Would use a spicy rub next time and a different filling.
GrammaG Posted: 02/12/14
I made this for Sunday dinner with company coming. It was outstanding. The first time I made it, I used dried cherries, and the second time, I used dried cranberries; it was delicious either way. Both times, I added about a third of a cup of chopped celery for a bit more texture in the stuffing. Next time I make this, I'd like to add some type of rice side dish. I didn't pan-brown the roast, as I prefer a roast cap that is very caramelized and brown. I served it with fresh green beans sauteed with garlic and shallots, and a spinach salad; I used dried cranberries in the salad, and it tied the dishes together really nicely! Thanks so much......wonderful recipe!
Gabbyct Posted: 12/26/13
I made this for Christmas dinner and we really enjoyed it. It took a bit of time but now that I've made it I think it can be done in less time. I started chopping at 5 pm and dinner along with a wild rice blend and shallot roasted green beans was on the table by 7:30. The sauce was pretty delicious on all of the elements of the dish. I see this in my future for special occasions. I also see a few variations to include maybe cranberries instead of cherries, maybe add some sausage or fennel seed to the stuffing. Or perhaps some other textural elements such as chopped pecans, celery, apple, or water chestnuts. I will definitely make this again and will refer others to it.
