A bit random I know, but don't use safe style uk if they come knocking. They have been harassing my mother up to 3 times a day.
Serious bully boys and not cheap. Trying to cancel the order for her as it's getting ridiculous but no way they said they'd take legal action if she tried to cancel.
She told them she couldn't have them fitted until the end of March due to an up and coming operation, it even states it on the order, but they haven't stopped phoning her almost daily asking when her op is going to be and couldn't I go round whilst they install them
Just had her on the phone upset as they are getting abusive now, I am not a happy bunny

on a home visit ?.....has the 7 day cooling off period past by...
it has she didn't see the 7 day notice, she's 77. But they are really pushing it now.
Read some reviews earlier and lots of people have had the same problem.
I did notice that the cancellation ticket wasn't dated so tried to get it made void, but they haven't replied yet.
2k for a garage side door and garage window
Silly lady, she didn't say anything to me until the calls started getting too much

should be compulsory when parents reach 65....they are easily coerced into signing their money away....but is the problem that they want to fit early or has she changed her mind about having it fitted.They might do a good job.
you are probably buggered then legally....they will argue they have encountered costs and have already made up the items (though most likely haven't) blah blah. Unfortunatley you will have to give as good as you get, go down the 'taking advantage of an elderly, vulnerable person' (even if she isn't), maybe give Citizens Advice or say you have spoken to Age Concern who are compling a dossier of complaints against them???....scare tactics can sometimes work against these firms......at the end of it your mum will probably lose her deposit if you do get them to agree to cancel.
date except after March, so I think it's a losing battle.
But I wish she'd not go off and do things without speaking to me first
They just turned up on her doorstep and she let them in, ffs how stupid was that?? Only when the proverbial has hit the fan does she say anything.
She hadn't changed her mind, it was just the calls were getting so bad I told her to tell them to stick their windows where the sun don't shine.
But alas she has to through with the installation.
Bloody heathens, they better do it ok
the company is just down the road from me ,do you want me to go down and ,erm ,smash their windows?
yes please that would make me feel so much better, can you smash their faces as well and then smash the building and smash everything. Id be ever so grateful

This gripping detective murder mystery is a vivid portrayal of the black experience in the deep South during the 1960s. This powerful story, brought to our stage by America's premier radio theater company, begins on a steamy August night in a small Southern town, where the body of a wealthy white man is discovered. Police arrest a black stranger passing through town for the murder, only to learn that he is a respected homicide detective. The detective reluctantly finds himself working with the chief of police to solve the murder, while wrestling with the fear, hatred, and prejudices prevalent at the time. John Ball's timely novel became an Academy Award-winning film and an Emmy Award-winning television show, as well as a series of subsequent novels. This stunning stage adaptation is written by acclaimed playwright Matt Pelfrey.

LOWELL | The No Illiana 4 Us group plans to bring its handout maps tonight when bistate planners of the Illiana Corridor lay out theirs during a public meeting to examine specifics of the expressway that would run between Cedar Lake and Lowell.
It's all part of a full-court press being exerted by the opposition group to put the brakes on the road project.
In recent weeks, No Illiana 4 Us has gained momentum as its membership increases and its letter writing campaign grows.
Harold Mussman, the West Creek Township trustee and a leader in the opposition movement in Indiana, sent David Davis, the governor's liaison to the Indiana Department of Transportation, an email Tuesday.
"We have valid points we want to present that have been ignored or spun differently by the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Indiana Department of Transportation and Parsons Brinkerhoff (planners). That shows a total lack of concern and respect for our community."
The group maintains the intended closure of certain north/south roads would jeopardize the safety of residents needing ambulance and first responder services. There also would be serious issues created for the school system and its bus routes.
"Our EMS services are already stretched to the breaking point. ... We need to stress we have a volunteer fire department. Our ambulance service is a not-for-profit service paid for by taxpaying residents and landowners," Mussman said.
Mussman said planners need to imagine a scenario in which there is a tanker truck on fire on the Illiana and a local resident suffering a heart attack 12 miles from the fire site. Where would the EMTs go? Who will live or who will die is the question, he asked.
Environmental concerns are being risen as well.
The Illinois Chapter of the Sierra Club is fighting the "super highway" placement next to Illinois' only national grassland, the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie.
Pat Mussman of No Illiana 4 Us said the Indiana chapter of the Sierra Club has expressed interest as well and the group is working with an environmental attorney.
No Illiana 4 Us is mad eup of residents from mostly Will County in Illinois and Lake County in Indiana opposing the expressway. Residents in Porter County against the Illiana Expressway have been approached to join them.

More on Japan's nuclear oversight, Wikileaks and Boron (oh my!)
- Protest over the Mark 1 reactor The Mark 1 Nuclear Reactor, as we mentioned yesterday, has a long history of safety concerns, so much so that 35 years ago, General Electric scientist Dale G. Bridenbaugh and two of his fellow employees resigned in protest over the design. He worried that the containment system wasn't prepared to deal with a massive loss of coolant, which seems on the spot.
- The high price of poor oversight Also unveiled by Wikileaks, a U.S. cable indicates that Tokyo opposed a court order relating to nuclear safety. The court ruled that an earthquake of a magnitude over 6.5 could cause radiation exposure. Japan's rebuttal: "Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency believes the reactor is safe and that all safety analyses were appropriately conducted." source
Boron's (possibly) stabilizing effect
- 52.6 tons of Boron that South Korea is giving Japan
» That is, obviously, a lot of Boron. The Japanese are hoping this emergency shipment from the South Korean government will help them stabilize the reactor crises happening at the Fukushima Plant. The element, which is crucial in the process of stopping nuclear reactions, will be mixed into the seawater that's being used to try to cool the fuel rods. South Korea is really coming through for Japan on this one; their own Boron stockpile has been mostly used up at Fukushima.

In late October, an FBI agent and whistleblower brought a story of possible Bureau corruption to Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. It was a story of Obama Regime operatives deliberately sacrificing the national security interests of the United States for the president's political gain.
Advertisement-content continues below
And what did the Republican house leader do with that information, which—10 days before the election–could have shown that Barack Obama placed his own political advantage above the security of the nation? Why, naturally, he took the story to just one person–Obama appointee and FBI Director Robert Mueller, the very man who would have been responsible for the betrayal of those security interests in the first place!
On October 27th, Tampa FBI field agent Fred Humphries contacted US Representative David Reichert and told him that the FBI was dragging its feet in an investigation of possible national security leaks. Reichert directed Humphries to the far more politically powerful Eric Cantor who, along with staff members, met with Humphries.
The investigation had been prompted by Humphries when family friend Jill Kelley told the agent that she had received numerous emails she considered threatening. Humphries took the story to Tampa FBI office higher-ups, and the investigation led to Paula Broadwell, mistress of General David Petraeus.
Though the investigation had begun in late spring, little had transpired by October; and Humphries began to suspect that FBI officials were deliberately delaying and covering up in order to spare Barack Obama and the administration any political embarrassment. After all, Obama had put Petraeus in charge of the CIA, the most important, sensitive information gathering agency in the government. The sudden and public explosion of an FBI investigation, which included a sex scandal and possible national security leaks connected to the president's man at the Agency, would not have helped the Obama campaign.
Advertisement-content continues below
Most importantly, as a result of his actions, Petraeus had become a prime target for blackmail, given his status as CIA Director and former commanding general in the Middle East. Could he have been passing restricted material to Broadwell or others? Clearly, it was vitally important that the FBI find out!
After meeting with Humphries, Cantor and his staff decided they were "…unable to act on the information [Humphries] was giving them because they doubted his credibility." Well, don't United States congressmen have the ability to check on the "credibility" and background of an FBI agent? Cantor would have discovered that Humphries had single-handedly foiled a terror plot and was commended for his service to the nation and the American people. But the Congressman doubted his credibility. Funny, Cantor didn't doubt the credibility of Obama Administration operative Robert Mueller.
And what did FBI Director Mueller do with the Humphries-supplied information he received from Eric Cantor on October 31st? He waited one full week until November 6th, Election Day, "…to [meet with] James Clapper, the director of national intelligence and David Petraeus' immediate supervisor…" We have now learned that the House Judiciary Committee "…has written to Robert Mueller to ask why it took him a week to come forward with the information that Frederick Humphries had given him." (Humphries through Eric Cantor, but Humphries nonetheless!)

In a quiet place
why some people be mad at me sometimes
by Lucille Clifton
they ask me to remember
but they want me to remember
their memories
and I keep on remembering mine
This testimonial is a celebration for all the ways we survive, often unnoticed and alone in our struggling to make a difference from the many places we inhabit. This testimonial does not belong to me, it could not be written without the wisdom and knowledge of many other peoples remaining vigilant in putting our dreams of a world free of exploitation into practice.
Our collective memories of the ways in which unchecked supremacy can run rampant in our practice towards one another fuel our determination to realize this dream. We often find ourselves marginalized and alone, unwelcome in radical communities with curt responses or none at all, and usually no acknowledgement of the ways in which we have been torn in these movements. Radically telling this truth can be viewed as divisive to the movement and a "pathological" issue. This stance is an effective tool to manage dissenting voices, sanitize our lived realities and allow for treacherous interactions. Many of us have horror stories of the types of organizational-institutional disrespect and negation we have gone through. In fighting for a more expansive politics, to openly name the ways dominant behaviors surface across many institutions and people is met with hostility. To interrogate rage and pain, to use our stories as a way to salve our wounds and name the abuse is a radical endeavor. It suggests the possibility of healing in a system that does not want us be well or make ourselves anew. Acknowledging pain demands accountability. It demands a critical reflection on all the interactions that happened to get us to the point of betrayal in the first place. It also demands us to interrogate our own habits and question the role we have played in the matter. Often, this type of radical truth-telling and honesty does not happen, we end up leaving or staying in these places looking in from the margins, completely discredited. So of course, the scars are here, still swollen and bruised. Wherever do we go from here?
Hey, big woman—
with scars on the head
and scars on the heart
that never seem to heal—
I saw your light
And it was shining.
(Assata Shakur)
As someone who identifies as Black, as woman, first-generation, African, working class and energetic, I have seen how my rage has been suppressed and seen as "counter-productive" to the movement. I think of my own horror stories expressing the unaccountability and destructiveness that can come in doing this work. The most recent and painful memory. I am working as an educator within a predominantly white radical organization. We care about solidarity, critical thinking, understanding and liberation across difference for our common struggles, this is the perfect catch phrase for anyone interested in social justice. Yet, when I note the overwhelming whiteness and privilege often exercised within the organization I am either met with an eerie silence or hostility. More specifically, when I say that the movement to end class exploitation must also deal with white supremacy and assert that we (yes we, not just the ruling classes) must investigate our roles in reproducing this class system with our deeply held supremacies I suddenly become that sore on every one's side.
"Am I crazy? No one has said anything so maybe it's me…"
Before I know it, I start to think I am the problem. Besides, there are people of color here too, who care about solidarity, critical thinking, understanding and liberation across difference. We have to care about it and love each other fiercely…right? When trying to voice my concern to this woman of color she swiftly cuts me off and says, "It's not a black pedagogy or white pedagogy but a class pedagogy." End of discussion, there is no longer a conversation to be had. She does not even look me in my face, just like the rest of them. Maybe I should have said something else, maybe I missed something… I am that sore on her side. This is a woman of color, I respect her…is this my fault?
The refusal to not scrutinize how we practice freedom in our daily lives often leads to this type of unspoken and unrecognized pain. When these contradictions remain unchallenged, usually the most vulnerable within the organization (and larger society) are the one's who experience the worst of what the organization has to offer (or refuses to offer). In other words, we become easy targets for your unspoken rage and anger to be unleashed and accepted at any moment when our mere presence calls out your particular contradiction and shortcoming. My rage speaks to the pain of the explosive silence and broken relationships that has deterred all our efforts to see us finally liberated from a larger structure of outright violence, denial and repression. I think of my sources of anger, where I have had to go back and scrutinize these memories and also break my own fears and silence:
- A colleague of mine has told me that at my teaching site, the all white teaching staff are wondering out loud if I am really serious about teaching. I have been teaching in my class since the first day I began the internship. Dealing with these students and administration isn't easy. I have had racial slurs hurled at me and most of the teachers do not acknowledge my presence…living in this area has physically made me sick and yes I have been absent for a couple of days. So I come back to hear that now the teachers are talking about whether or not I am serious about this work…never mind that my white colleague can go to a wedding for a week and not have these things wondered about him, or the quality of his work questioned…in fact, his teacher mentor wants to keep him for the next semester…but I go away for two or three days and the world is about to end.
- I finally demand a formal meeting to speak about the institutional racism going on in the schools and the program. I want out of these seminar classes, out of teaching in an all white school, and an explanation as to why no one has intervened or at least offered strategies to deal with this type of pressure. When I go to the administration (comprised of three women, two women of color and one white woman) they proceed to ask me questions about why I am so upset. One of them even says that when she saw me crying one day in front of my classmates she read my display of emotions as "impulsive." She notes my silence as the primary reason the administration does not know what it is going on (never mind that I told her about an incident within the school last week.) She questions why I want special treatment around race when other people in the program have their issues as well. I am questioned so much that I begin to think what I am asking for is trivial. All the things I had "demanded" remain unchanged. I am still in seminars where no one is really checked for the thoughtlessness of their words or actions, still in an all white racist school, and still offered no explanation or intervention on how to deal with this pressure.
- I hear through the grapevine that a white male student has been allowed to teach in Harlem New York. It was my understanding that no student could travel this far out for an internship. I think back to previous meetings I had when saying I wanted to work specifically with children of color. The administration made sure to scold me and tell me it did not matter if I want to teach students of color because the work of emancipation is all the same. I am told my wanting to teach students of color is subjective. Yet most of my white peers often talk about wanting to do prison work, feeling that people of color need the most help and wanting to work with "vulnerable" populations. I am still waiting to hear this administration say that their "needs" are also subjective. But instead this man can go teach students of color and even travel to do so. He comes back to class saying he is having a difficult time relating to the issues he is seeing with this population. I watch the same woman who used her questions to chastise me, use her questions to help this student with his specific situation.
- I have become silent in class no longer wanting to engage. I should do better and hate the fact that I feel so stuck. But still, I do have to note that two of my other colleagues are incredibly silent however no one seems to stare their way and demand and answer when the white people exclaim, "Not enough people speak up in class!…"
- I'm in a role play in a small group, we are talking about how to intervene and stop racism. The scenario: One woman wants to cross the street because she spots an African American male walking on the sidewalk. The other friend is supposed to intervene. For the next ten minutes I watch these two white, well meaning feminist anti-racist women theorize around why they would not intervene in saying the woman wanting to cross the street is acting in racist manner. I finally come out with my uneasiness and say this is dominant thinking. I remember this time most clearly because after I finally said those words I dealt with the brunt of these two "allies" insidious shame and guilt.
- A teacher is teaching us aspiring teachers about cultural sensitivity and diversity in the classroom. She is White. This should not matter because we are in a radical setting. In order to teach us about cultural understanding, she makes an almost entirely white class take the Chitling test. Some of us are confused, most of us say nothing, most of us do not understand the history behind this test. One white woman across from me laughs and says, "Let's take the test!" Don't we know better than this? I can't believe that we are in this day and age and someone is telling me to take this test.
- I'm working at a new teaching site. It's a progressive school. If I want to be paid for substitute teaching I must go through a CORI check. I pass in the required documentation within the first two weeks of school…two months later I hear no word about my CORI going through. I send emails to no avail. I tell my teacher mentor. He sends an email. My other colleague who also works at this site has had his CORI passed…all is well with him. He has started subbing and is getting paid for his work. I do the same, plan lessons, implement curriculum, take on the teacher load but the situation is different. My CORI not going through requires a "real" substitute to sit in and monitor what I am doing. By law I am not allowed to be alone with the kids. The kids wonder who is the authority figure…I teach any way. A week later I am sitting eating my lunch. The lady who is supposed to handle my CORI comes in wanting to check in about the situation. I find that for some reason my documentation has not yet been passed in. She proceeds to ask me, "…so about your CORI. Are you…legal?"
- The most devastating memory: A professor of color asks me in front of the all white class, "You're black, why are you silent?" I shakily express a tenth of the rage and anger at white supremacy and finally say I am tired. The teacher says "I knew you would say that," and for a moment I think I have an ally. She goes on to swiftly tell me that John Brown understood what this struggle meant, and that I am doing this work for the people. It is this day when I really start to wonder if by the people she is referring to the white middle class students sitting in her classroom.
- My last day meeting with this advisor within the program (a meeting I did not want to have and at this point I was really trying to avoid all private meetings with these people) where I can at the very least be sure that I have no reason to trust her. I finally can tell her that I felt chastised within this program and that there was absolutely no support offered. She asks me, "Did something deep in you change?" At this time, I do not realize how deeply asinine this question is. So I reply yes, immediately thinking that this all is my fault. The respect for her is still there. I still try to hold my position that there should be support. She goes on to tell me: "The institution is not supposed to be supportive." I think to myself: After experiencing all of this craziness…you're damn right it isn't.
The list continues, but it'll stop here. I know we all have our lists of terrors and grievances that we've had to lay by the wayside. As I think of these memories, I think of the scars and rage. I think of my own silence and wished that at the very least I had been resolute in knowing that these people were very much tied to their positions of power and dominance. I realized too late that if I had questions, if I made them too uncomfortable, if I did not grin and bear it, they would find ways to humiliate and strip me of my dignity in any space they could. Under such an abusive gaze, where there was much more going on than this little story can touch, I celebrate that I did not give in to grief. And these lessons have given me insight into what even the best of us are capable of practicing.
And just to be sure, this is not a compartmentalized race story even though the way this played out politically was steeped in the protection of white supremacy. These terror stories should alert us to the types of spaces we inhabit within the overall class hierarchy when there are no built in structures for us to critically reflect and change these contradictions as a collective.
When we look at how our right to lead our own movements, to teach in our communities, to have our ideas heard and published, and to safely work, is constantly thwarted by this type of gate keeping, we cannot be so naïve to stop making these connections.
Finding the language to analyze and name what is going on becomes a necessary but difficult task. Explaining these habits become difficult when the language of radical thought is so readily available, while in the same hand, we feel the constant jerking of an entitled elbow hurting our sides. Cutting through all the mental gymnastics becomes such a wasteful use of energy. Institutional silence to erase and shame are crucial to letting these injustices occur in the space and cracks of our liberation work.
But nothing can really hide or stay miserable and competitive for too long without something (or someone) exploding. We are the products of our environments and our habits are direct reflections of how much we are willing to change. I think of all the Missy Anne's I had to ward off back then and how even over a year later, when all has been said and done, one of them cannot take no for an answer when I say I don't want to see her. Somehow, in some way, she uses her creativity to get my phone number, my partner's phone number and persistently texts and calls. And when we finally meet she smiles without acknowledging anything. Not what happened back then and certainly not that her supremacy is showing now. After a year or so, she still feels insufficient in her work for social justice. I don't say much. I am in a better place and I will not use my energy to soothe her guilt. People reflect the organizations and ideologies their coming from. And inaction and denial is such a reactionary and tired tune.
I have rage/When forced to look at the worst of you/and pretend that nothing has happened/you say I was less than/insufficient/not doing enough/that something with me was just/wrong/When you hear my name and look the other way/like I wasn't there/like it was my problem/Rage!/You are that sore on my side
But if I see you again…/On what principle will I receive you?/What patterns will I finally break/so we can move forward?
Women of color come together, in a quiet place to talk about the ways in which we have been hurt. To talk about the things we have had to go without, from adequate health care to employment discrimination to worrying if we'll be the one picked up on the street when walking home at night from the train station. To talk about our struggles and dreams. We choose to use rage as insight to continue. We are not fodder for the "cause." We are here, stronger than ever, ready to thrive, in spite of this destruction. There is much to fight for and no time to waste. We are here for one another.
Without the love of my sister-friends I would not have made it. They built me up to be a warrior and tore down those sinking doubts and feelings I had. They put the steel in my spine and massaged that crackle in my throat that had internalized that voice saying, "This is all your fault." They were committed to practicing love as a principle. Confident in knowing that we should not be the ones to always receive the brunt of contempt. That to toughen ourselves does not mean we must be cruel to one another. That to survive does not have to mean that we allow ourselves to be tokenized to call rank on one another, divided, just for the chance to be at the table for some scraps. Through our solidarity I was made whole.
Constant conversations with sister-friends who knew what I was going through was my healing balm. Whenever we could get together, we would develop strategies to protect ourselves from the daily blows and assess how far we needed to go with our particular struggles. One sister-friend would write very detailed and thought out letters that helped develop my analysis when I needed words to name behaviors beyond feelings. In one tough situation she wrote:
In many ways being in this situation has helped me to polish my analysis, and understand more broadly what boundaries i must establish. i am able to also see more clearly my own internalized oppression and how this manifests in my comments/behaviors, etc. In addition, i can also see how my knowledge and analysis is quite powerful and if not used carefully can be destructive towards my allies as well as others who do not hold my same opinion. In many ways, i am very glad to have gone through the process of conflict transformation. for though i am a big critic, i learned much about myself and my capacity to try to bring understanding and solidarity in situations like this, without negotiating my fundamental values.
i really don't think i will be able to work with this group of people, but i will continue to support their efforts for social justice, as i will others. the white privilege is present in every work, gesture, and suggestion. it is much to much and will take to much of my energy which is continuously being challenged by those who are really in power. but at least there i am visible…..very visible.
i will be writing soon, with details, attaching emails, and recording the negligence of some of our colleagues, who just happen to be people in positions of power and decision making. i never thought these groups were perfect, for i am also not. but, i was not expecting to have to put up with so much rejection and dominance. this is absolute nonsense coming from such an organization.
let's stay positive, let's not dismiss anyone regardless of their positions, left, right, moderate, even fundamentalist. let's try not to do what they do.
Our experiences also spoke to the ways people of color and women internalize supremacy and hatred. When we find that we hold positions of power or authority, to not intervene on behalf of women of color creates divides and tensions that needed not be there. And sadly it strengthened the entitlement of our white peers. For this my sister friend said: the lack of her voice is deeply concerning and hurtful for me.
It is not just about the goal, it is about the process we take to reach that goal. Too many of our stories are fraught with betrayal, distortion and violence in struggling to reach a place of equality. What type of hard and difficult work are we doing to ensure that we are creating the conditions for the massive change we want to see? What type of structural changes should we call for in our organizations? Are there structures of accountability? Do we consent to the targeting of our peers? Of course, the struggle continues. in our new places of struggle we pushed for these things right at the beginning. If anything, on our end, we're gonna put it on the table, nows the time for us to figure out what we're willing to do politically…
Letting go of fear and claiming that voice for ourselves, no matter the cost, is an important piece to this work. It took me a while to own this burning part of myself, the part that could spit fire and the part that could honor my resistance. Being around such strong women made me want to own that power and continue to struggle. There are so many peoples we struggle for, who have given much more than I can imagine and suffered greater losses. I am still here. To give in to my fear is a cop out and slow death at best.
I chose to leave as quickly as I could. It was a painful but necessary decision. The level of dishonesty and abuse was terrifying. There are many struggles to wage, rife with contradictions to sort out. I can say that dealing with that beast was not for me. But if you find you have to be there, be resilient and wage battle anyway. That was my lesson, go down giving it all you got.
I remember a time when I wrote an email about the privilege and dominance within the program, how it hindered our goals. There was no response from my peers and I began to wonder if there would be a punishment for my thoughts. My sister-friend was able to salve my wound with her final words:
"And yes, I noticed no responses. As we know this is a strategic move of privilege and hegemony…to deny the existence of our thoughts, ideas, and creativity. Oh, but they heard loud and clear…do not doubt this my friend. Keep speaking, for if we don't we will lose our humanity and dignity. i know what it feels like when we feel we have spoken to much. it's really okay. Breathe and know it is okay. gather your thoughts, honor your life and your way, give people a chance to take it in….you will know when and how to continue. but never, never, be silent for too long…remember that what we say is deep, much to deep for others to sometimes handle. but remember we have handled even more and have survived and become better women because of it. don't let guilt or shame stop you….those are the masters tools….do away with them."

The seventh episode of Monday Night Raw came from the Manhattan Center, just a few weeks away from WrestleMania. On commentary was Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Elvis (Rob Bartlett in an Elvis costume).
Bret Hart vs. Fatu
Bret Hart got the win by putting Fatu in the Sharpshooter. At one point in the match, Hart had Fatu in the Sharpshooter, but The Headshrinkers' manager, Afa, distracted the referee, so Samu came in and hit Hart to break the hold, then he covered Hart, but Hart kicked out and the referee got distracted again and Fatu came back in. Decent match, but pretty long, and Hart sold for way too long for a champion going into WrestleMania.
WrestleMania Report
Mean Gene gave a report on WrestleMania, which was only five weeks away. Mean Gene talked about the audacity of Money, Inc. who were going after Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and Hulk Hogan. He then hyped Giant Gonzales vs. The Undertaker, Tatanka vs. Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect vs. Lex Luger, and Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna. Mean Gene closed by making fun of Randy Savage's outfit and making a Joey Buttafuoco joke.
Crush interview from Hawaii/Doink the Clown vs. Koko B. Ware
Crush came out of the ocean and started talking through a video feed to the announce team. Crush said that the Hawaii weather was "miserable", as it sat at 75 degrees and sunny. He demonstrated how his WrestleMania match with Doink would go by crushing a coconut with his bare hands.
Doink locked Koko in the Stump Puller, who tapped out to give Doink the win. This was a squash match. Doink pretty much dominated the whole way.
Money, Inc. in-ring interview w/ Vince McMahon
Money, Inc. came out to talk about the challenge from The Mega Maniacs, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and Hulk Hogan. Money, Inc. talked a big game about The Mega Maniacs, and their tag match at WrestleMania. Money, Inc. eventually decided to put their tag titles on the line. Interesting segment. It's never a good thing for the heel(s) when they decide to put their title on the line.
Lex Luger vs. P.J. Walker
Luger got the win with a forearm smash. Bobby Heenan joined the commentary team by phone. He said that the man on commentary claiming to be Elvis was not, he said that it was George Steinbrenner. A woman claiming to be Priscilla Presley then got on and confirmed this fact. Not much accomplished by the commentary team, but Luger dominated and continued to be an arrogant heel throughout the match.
The Steiner Brothers vs. Barry Hardy and Duane Gill
Scott Steiner gets the win by hitting the Frankensteiner. The Steiners were a lot of fun at this point in the career. This squash match probably got the hottest reaction from the crowd, and it was deserved.
Overall Impression
Slow show. Not many important developments in this show and that certainly hurt it. It really is a different world when there's only four pay-per-views a year, storylines need to be drawn out so much longer, and it shows.

If you're a fan of tobiuo (flying fish) or Hokkaido scallop nigiri, you may not find much of it in the coming weeks. San Francisco sushi restaurants are already having trouble getting certain products from their Japanese suppliers, and CBS is reporting that what meager supply there is will be reserved for restaurants in Japan. One might argue that whining about the possible effects on the sushi supply while Japan faces a nuclear catastrophe makes us look like assholes. Meanwhile, South Korea and Thailand are measuring their Japanese fish imports for radiation. And furthermore, U.S. exports to Japan of corn, soybeans, California rice, and pork have already slowed due to problems in shipping to many parts of the beleaguered country.

Cirrus Expects Funding To Start Flowing
Cirrus Aircraft reached a milestone late last week when newly appointed CEO Dale Klapmeier delivered the 5,000th SR-series airplane, an event staged at AOPA Aviation Summit in Hartford, Conn. Cirrus has also just completed a new business plan for its SF-50 Vision Jet program at the request of China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (Caiga), which acquired the Minnesota-based airframer in late June. Klapmeier, who took over as CEO last week after the departure of former CEO and president Brent Wouters, told AIN that based on the new report, he expects Cirrus to begin ramping up its engineering and manufacturing staff for the Vision jet soon. "When we started the program, we really looked at it as how quickly can we get it done. Over the last couple of years, we looked at it as how little can we spend to get the program done, and now we are in a scenario saying, 'What is the best way to get the program done,'" he said. "We don't have to rush, we don't have to conserve every penny." At the show, Cirrus displayed a Vision mockup painted in a quasi-military scheme to acknowledge the 100th anniversary of naval aviation, as well as the jet prototype.

Q&A with Dan Krokos about his new book False Memory
From Shelf Awareness:
Where did the idea for False Memory come from?
The idea for the teens' ability to control fear came from [an unpublished] manuscript I worked on, which was an urban fantasy. I knew I wanted to write a YA thriller where a teen didn't know who she was. Her name was Miranda North, and that's all I knew. I decided to combine those two concepts.
Did you map this out as a series from the beginning?
The story started as one book, but by the time I submitted it to publishers, it had become three books. The ending of the first book was originally a little quieter and a little happier, but then I thought, I could kind of drop a bomb at the end. Everything's wrapped up from the first book, but I wanted to suggest that the second book would be scarier and bigger than the first book.
The only reason I agreed to do a trilogy was if I could connect them in such a way that they wouldn't feel like branches to the first story. The first book feels very much like a thriller with futuristic elements to it. I wanted Book Two to have those same elements but be a bit scarier; the culture is straight out of my nightmares. Book Two is bigger than Book One, and Book Three feels a little more personal. The series took on a bell curve shape.
Why memory? Adolescence is so volatile anyway. Sometimes you feel like a stranger to yourself. Is that part of what's going on here?
That's what I was going for. The ultimate question for teens is, "Who am I?" I'd like to think that all of Miranda's experiences in the book are teen experiences, just on steroids. Miranda's faced with that question the whole book, all she knows is what people are telling her. As a teen, you're trying to figure it out for yourself.
Dr. Tycast acts as a kind of benevolent father to them, yet Noah overhears something that makes him distrust Tycast.
There's so much negativity happening around them. I wanted them to have an anchor in the middle of it all—a father figure who would never do anything willingly to hurt them. At the same time, I wanted them to question whether he could be trusted.
Will Rhys, the rogue, have a bigger role in the next book?
Midway through the writing of False Memory, I thought of a rogue that was not a part of their team but separate, with a lot of layers I wanted to reveal over the series. I wanted the threat of him looming over the whole book. Rhys's role has changed a few times. I'm writing the third book right now, so I'm interested to see how that's going to end up.
Why did you set the story in Cleveland? Is that because you know it well?
I hadn't traveled a lot. I could write easily about them running around Cleveland, and the characters could hide in plain sight. No one really cares what's going on in Cleveland. Everyone minds their own business. I knew that in Books Two and Three, I'd branch out into other settings.
You write about the attractions among the four teens on this team, but it's very much in the background. We know that Miranda and Noah were an item, and we sense some feelings between her and Peter, too. In one of her memories, Miranda asks Peter, "Why are you so good to me?"
And he says, "That's for me to know, and you to never find out." We'll never see what it was like for them growing up together. As they get older, feelings start to develop. I didn't want the love triangle or love square to come to the forefront. It's not about Miranda trying to choose.
At one point, Miranda states that their training forbids sexual involvement.
I took kung fu when I was younger. We had a whole discussion about this. Our instructor would do this training in China where abstinence would be required for a long time. Monks, instead of expelling their sexual energy, would recycle it and use that energy in other ways. It's why they can balance on one finger and break bricks. I knew the Roses would be as powerful as they could possibly be, and their teacher would bring that to them. I didn't want to write about sex. It's not a copout; it's a real thing. That kind of martial arts practice makes them superhuman. I wanted them to have that.
Several scenes heighten the reality of the natural tension between teens and adults. And of course, the members of Miranda's team rebel against the establishment.
There's a lot of tension between teens and adults. Self-reliance is encouraged, and knowing how to work through problems on their own. But you better complete your mission and come back—or else. Peter tracks Noah and Olive to that hotel [after they run away]. He wanted a way to find them. Peter didn't ask permission to do that. Is that something he felt he had to do, or does he feel he has the power to make that choice? When you give someone that much power, how do you control them?
At one point, Miranda says, "The past isn't mine. It died… in that alley. But the future can be." Teens often believe that one choice can define them, but the message from Miranda is that we can decide our future by the choices we make, going forward.
That was a huge line for me. I think a lot of people focus on the past, which you can't change. You can make the best of each moment, or keep repeating the same mistakes. At the end, Miranda has to realize it's not what she came from or who made her but what she does with what she has.

One thing's for sure — disappointed candidates can't console themselves by putting the dough toward a new yacht. Here's what they can do if they have leftover campaign cash.
Call us morbid, but we've always wondered whether a decapitated head can still see for any length of time after being severed. Fortunately, we discovered that we aren't the first people who've scratched their heads over this curiosity.
In the early 19th-century France (back when being guillotined was more or less a rite of passage), a series of scientists investigated the question. They concluded that decapitated heads continued to respond to external stimuli for several seconds after, um, parting from their respective bodies. For instance, some heads would look you in the eyes if you called their names. In fact, researchers theorize that you can have a "conversation" with a decapitated head for about 10 to 12 seconds. Lung-less, the head can't talk, but it can blink to answer yes or no.
That said, we're guessing a decapitated head wouldn't be in any mood to answer questions.

Stumped for a last-minute gift idea? Perhaps our Historical Gift Guide will help inspire something. (And scroll to the bottom for quite possibly the worst present of all-time.)
The short answer is yes.
We're dealing with a transliteration that – because English and Hebrew don't share all of the same sounds and none of the same letters – is inexact.
The first Hebrew letter in the holiday's name has the sound of a guttural "h." How would you prefer to render that in English – with an "h," which can lead people to think that the word starts with an English "h" sound? Or how about using "ch" instead – which could lead some to think the sound is like the "ch" in "cheese"?
Then there's the final letter hey, which does have the sound of "h" – except when it comes at the end of the word. Then it's silent. So, do you use an "h" to be as true to the Hebrew spelling as possible? Or do you leave it out, because the word doesn't end with an "h" sound?
The choice is yours.

Most store-bought Christmas cards feature Santa and his reindeer, Christmas trees, or religious iconography. These people went in another direction.
Lots of people think the X in Xmas is a secular watering down of the word Christ. You know, "we love to celebrate the holiday but don't believe in Jesus," sort of thing. But that's not the case.
The X actually comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of Χριστός. Now, if that's all Greek to you, Χριστός, of course, means Christ.

The famous "Heisman pose" is actually based on Ed Smith, a former NYU running back who modeled for the trophy's sculptor in 1934. Interestingly, Smith went years without knowing that he'd modeled for the famous trophy. His sculptor buddy Frank Eliscu had just needed a football player to model for a project, and Smith volunteered.
Smith figured Eliscu was just doing some little personal sculpture and remained totally oblivious to his spot in football history for the next 48 years until a documentary filmmaker called Smith to interview him about the Heisman in 1982. Smith initially had no idea what the guy was talking about, but he eventually remembered his modeling days. In 1985, the Downtown Athletic Club gave Smith his own copy of the Heisman, and in 1986 he even received recognition on the televised ceremony. He looked at the four finalists – Vinny Testaverde won that year – and quipped, "Whoever wins the award, I feel sorry for you, because you're going to be looking at my ugly face for a long time."

Perhaps you haven't been over to the Miami Dolphins team web site in the past day or two if that is the case then you missed a special message. New owner Stephen M. Ross wants you to know how he feels about the Phins and what his plans are for the team. Ross took the time to write a personal letter to the fans that he had placed on the MiamiDolphins.com introduction page. So if you haven't seen it….here it is.
January 23, 2009
Dear Miami Dolphins Fans,
I am honored and privileged to be the new owner of the Miami Dolphins, one of the flagship franchises in all of proffessional sports.
Let me personally express my committment to you, our fans, that the single most important priority to me, is to bring back the Vince Lombardi Trophy to South Florida. Like Wayne, I will do everything possible to provide the resources needed to our football operations so we can regularly compete for the Super Bowl.
In addition, I want to create the best experience in the NFL at Dolphins Stadium so that gamedays will always be exciting and memorable for you, your family, and friends.
I also will continue to partner with community leaders to attract world-class events like the Super Bowl, Pro-Bowl, mega concerts and other international attractions to Dolphins Stadium, all of which provide added value to our Season Ticket Holders and bring tremendous economic benefits and world wide exposure to this dynamic area.
Thank you for your continued support of the Miami Dolphins and Dolphins Stadium. I look forward to sharing some great new memories together.
Go Dolphins!

37 Notes
You thought you were doing the right thing by updating your Blackberry, or you were trying to upload an app and things went horribly wrong. Or you were installing a BlackBerry theme that wasn't right for your device, and now your device has become useless.
You already tried to attach your USB cable. It connects and disconnects over and over again, and turns on and off. Your device turns on a red LED light for a few seconds, followed by a white screen with an hourglass, and then the display shuts off for a few seconds, and starts up again. So this makes running your BlackBerry Desktop Manager impossible. At this point it seems like your device is going through the same loop over and over again. And you are left frustrated and pulling out your hair.
While a "battery pull" works great for solving most issues it will not work if you have "bricked" your BlackBerry. This will need some extra TLC.
What to do?
You need not to worry. Even though you "bricked" your BlackBerry, there still is hope.
You need to "Reload your Operating System".
If you follow the simple steps below, you should be up and going in no time.
However, you will need approximately 45minutes to complete the entire procedure.
Tips to remember before you start:
- You are using a Windows Computer.
- Have BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed on your computer.
- Have the BlackBerry Operating System you want installed on your computer before you start the procedure.
- Applications you have installed on your BlackBerry will be lost. Once you have finished the procedure you will have to install all your apps again.
Step #1: Make sure your BlackBerry IS NOT connected to your computer.
Locate and Open the AppLoader application.
Open your file browser, go to your C Drive (operating system drive) and navigate your way through the folders to Program Files > Common Files >Research In Motion > AppLoader.
Once you are in the AppLoader directory, double click on the Loader application shortcut.
When the Loader Homescreen opens, Click Next, and start Step #2
Step #2: Connect the BlackBerry to the Computer via USB cable.
Plug in the BlackBerry, and when COM1 switches to say USB-PIN:UNKNOWN, immediately click Next.
This detects the BlackBerry and takes it out of the reboot cycle. This will let you reload the Operating System.
Tip: The USB-PIN:UNKNOWN option will display for a few seconds when the BlackBerry is first connected & the LED light flashes Red.
This happens when the device is in the initial start-up part of its reboot cycle.
You only have a few seconds to make the next step happen. So you must act quickly.
With the battery pulled out, connect the BlackBerry to the USB connector and as SOON as you see USB-PIN:UNKNOWN hit Next.
Be quick, using this method you are in control of the timing. Now, put the battery back in.
** If you don't get it right the first time, try again
(Unplug from USB, pull battery, connect and hit Next while USB-PIN:Unknown is showing) Be fast, timing is crucial for getting it right. You might have to try a few times before you are successful at the timing.
Connect Your BlackBerry via USB. Click NEXT as Soon as USB:UNKNOWN Appears.
Step #3: Your BlackBerry should be out of reboot cycle now.
Choose the options you want to install on your BlackBerry (BlackBerry Messenger, BlackBerry Maps, etc.), click "Next", then approve the installation by clicking "Finish".
Sit back and relax while the BlackBerry does its thing. There are numerous screens to go through before you reach "The loading operation was successful" screen.
Your BlackBerry will reboot itself at this point. It will take(10 - 15 minutes) to reboot. You can unplug it from the USB (it's not connected while rebooting) and just continue to be patient and wait. Eventually, it will boot up.
Step #4: When it does boot up. Select the programs/apps you want on your BlackBerry. Then, click "FINISH" on the Completing Application Loader Wizard.
Sit back and relax and let the installer do its thing.
Installation Complete! Just sit back and let your BlackBerry Reboot
Step #5: You are finally done reloading the Operating System. You can go through the set up wizard and run the BlackBerry Desktop manager. Reload all your apps and sync all your data and contacts.
Congrats! If you followed the steps, you should have a brand new Operating System on your BlackBerry. If you keep having issues visit http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry

Wolverine And The X-Men #10 Cover
Drawn by me, coloured by Marte Gracia.
Anonymous said: Artemis was based on a real girl? What do you know about her?
Yep! She's based on animator/director Victor Cook's daughter, Hanah, who's half Korean and half white. She has naturally blonde hair and grey eyes.
Quote from Greg Weisman:
Victor Cook's daughter is naturally blonde, though she's one-half Korean on BOTH parents' side, making her one-half Asian total. She, in part, served as one of our inspirations for Artemis.
So will the ignorant fucks out there kindly stop white washing her fancast.
The fact that people NEED her to be based on a real person (and otherwise need proof that not all POCs have black hair and brown eyes) to respect the character design when doing fanart or fancasting is just SAD.
That said, Ms. Cook looks really cool and I can see why she was one of the design inspirations. :)

Gosh you guys and your amazing feedback! I appreciate it all and it was really tough to pick this month!
But alas, I had to pick. Calling Carly Fowler! She left this feedback on my Fall Speech & Language Packet!
"This is a fun packet with a variety of activities! I love the graphics as they are perfect for the fall. The bingo game is great for practicing descriptions. The worksheets are great as they allow students to color but also allow students to practice writing. The sentence builders is why I bought the packet though! I have previously bought some and my students enjoy making silly sentences. They learn how to add details and make more complex sentences. This packet is huge!! Thank you!"
Feel free to check out my fall packet here, or by clicking on the image below:
{thanks for reading}

+ what i've learned this summer, by me.
As this summer comes to a close, I realized a few things. Summer is hard. It's full of working three jobs, maintaining a working relationship, and getting into a car accident. It's tough shit, but that doesn't mean that I can just ignore my blog and the world around me.
So instead of not writing anything, I spent the hours working- writing. I wrote down notes for blog posts and notes for the novel I'm working on in my notepad where I keep my orders.
Talk about confusing.
But I noticed that I put a lot of myself in each character I create. While I was working through my car accident ordeal and such, I discovered that I wrote a short story about a girl who gets into a car accident, but then discovers that she is dead and goes back through her life, regretting everything that she'd done and the way she lived her life.
Wow. That is something that I never realized.
I always tried to keep myself away from my characters, but the more I examine my characters and my storylines that I've been working on, the more I realize that they are parts of me that I didn't even know.
So, I challenge you: think about the things you are working on, whether it be a story or a painting or whatever you do and think to yourself. Where are you in your art?
Think about it.

Evaluating Impact of Personalized Medicines on Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Interphex2007, New York, NY (Apr. 26)—As focus shifts away from "one-size-fits-all" medicines and begins centering on personalized medicines, many companies begin to wonder how they can manufacture such drugs economically. Mark Hirschel, chief scientific officer of BioVest International (Worcester, MA, www.biovest.com), addressed that issue in his presentation, "A Bioreactor System Designed for Production of Personalized Therapeutics," at Interphex on Thursday.
According to Hirschel, some of the challenges facing personalized medicines include:
To illustrate the resolution of these issues, Hirschel explained how BioVest developed an autologous vaccine for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Autologous vaccines are based on a particular patient's tissues, which are collected, in some cases treated, and then reintroduced into the body. Autologous treatments in current use include skin grafts and bone-marrow transplants.
BioVest was faced with the difficulty of manufacturing a personalized medicine. The process is labor intensive and needs to be modified for each patient, and it is very difficult to design and operate a facility that processes thousands of patient-specific cells. The company settled on manufacturing the vaccine using mammalian cell cultures in a hollow fiber bioreactor (HFBRx). HFBRx technology, which very recently gained acceptance in the therapeutic arena, is disposable, easy to scale, and very small. It automates the process of producing cells, thus cutting down on labor and minimizing technician interaction, and it also is a closed system.
BioVest created its own HFBRx, "AutovaxID," to produce the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma vaccine. The machine is small enough to fit on a tabletop, thus eliminating the need for tissue-culture incubators. It is a closed system with secure access and online data collection. As the machines are small, the cost of a facility to house them, according to Hirschel, is $35–40 million, compared with $66–73 million for a classical manufacturing facility.
Hirschel closed by looking to the future. He believes there will be a move toward applying technology to autologous or other cellular therapies and toward further automating the process to ensure reproducibility.

How to manuall download and install the android 4.0 ICS Beta update on AT&T Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and Xperia ray

Exciting recently Sony Ericsson Xperia Play for AT&T also got the ICS beta version. If you are the Xperia Play onwers, now go to your phone to check that whether the update arrived at your phone.
If you have received the notification, now upgradd your phone to the latest OS. Then┬Ā how to download and install the android 4.0 ICS Beta update on AT&T Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and Xperia ray'╝¤ Just follow the steps below:
- Make sure your phone is running the latest software release, which is build number 4.0.2.A.0.42.┬Ā If you canŌĆÖt upgrade to this build number, it is not possible to try the Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for Xperia phones.
- Go to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com┬Āand unlock the boot loader of your phone. To do this, you must read through and agree to all the legal and warranty conditions that apply.
- Download the Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for Xperia arc S, the Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for XperiaŌäó neo V┬Āor the Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for XperiaŌäó ray┬Ādepending on your phone model.
- Extract the downloaded zip file to your Android Fastboot directory. For example: ..\android-sdk\fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_beta.
- Open a command prompt and go to your Fastboot directory: ..\android-sdk\fastboot\
- Flash the three beta ROM files one at a time using Fastboot. Use these three commands (replace the folder name if you are using XperiaŌäó neo V or XperiaŌäó ray):
ŌĆó┬Ā fastboot flash boot ..\Fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_beta\boot.img
ŌĆó┬Ā fastboot flash userdata ..\Fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_beta\userdata.img
ŌĆó┬Ā fastboot flash system ..\Fastboot\Xperia_arcS_ICS_beta\system.img
- Once done, please reboot your phone.
Currently the beta ROM is┬Ā only opened for developers,┬Ā this┬Ā means that the ordinary users can not get the upgrade, if ordinary users received the upgrade,┬Ā Sony Mobile does not provide warranty for the damages.
At present, there are many programs can not be used on the Xperia Play test version of the Android 4.0 , such as the Google-related applications, unlock the human face, and WiFi.
Please note: Before upgrading to ensure that their software version number on your devices┬Ā is the┬Ā latest 4.0.2.A.0.42, and the Bootloader is not locked.
In addtion, Sony mobile said that the Xperia Arc, Xperia Play,Xperia Neo,Xperia Mini, Xperia Mini Pro, Xperia┬Ā Pro and Xperia Active would get the┬Āandroid 4.0 ICS in June.┬Ā┬Ā especially, Sony Mobile d will not┬Ā offer an OTA upgrade, such several sony android phones need mention above need go to SONY official website┬Ā to manuall download and install the ICS update.

Abraham bought himself a copy of Mecanisburgo, and I took it home to learn the rules. It's a worker placement (hidden values)/area control game, with conflict resolution like Cosmic Encounter, money management like certain war games (cards can be used either for fighting power or income), and a dictionary of symbols like Race for the Galaxy ... squared.
Some people have complained that the confusing symbols combined with the confusing rulebook is a drawback to the game, but it doesn't look all that bad to me. I guess we'll find out when we try to play.
I'm also still hoping to get Mu to the table one day.

Mecanisburgo looks like a decent game

Yay. Hopefully we'll get to play it Wednesday.
I actually thought that you would be less than excited to try it because of the kitchen sink mechanics, variable win conditions, and a high level of chaos combined with long playing time... but I'm glad that you seem to be looking forward to it too.

for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her Diamond Jubilee
I was watching a video clip of Her Majesty from 1951 via a link shared by Kerry Vincent when I suddenly had the "I must do a little cake for her Diamond Jubilee" feeling. I had no specific design in mind, this cake was born purely out of whim and from digging through my stacks of handmade silicone molds. I wanted to create something that I can put on a fine china and serve it to Her Majesty.
