R.P. BenDedek Review: "Speak Your Truth" By Denise A. Dorfman
The book takes us through the journey of the author's life and along the way provides references for and quotes from a lot of medical and other related publications. She learned about the importance of exercise, nutrition, holding positive attitudes, removing stress in all its forms and she learned to program her subconscious mind with positive affirmations so that her daily living was positive. Overall this is an interesting and quick 100 page read that could benefit anyone suffering any illness.

Enter Velvet and Angel, our dogs. Velvet is our black miniature schnauzer and Angel is our cream-colored golden doodle. Lately they have become so entertaining to us that we find ourselves drawn away from our gadgets (as if by some powerful magnetic force) to watch them trotting gleefully around the house.

Mothers learning to parent from prison
How do you maintain a relationship with your children if you're incarcerated? It's a matter few people consider, but for many women at the Southern Maine Re-entry Center (SMRC) in Alfred, that daunting question is a reality. Support arrived this summer in the form of G.E.A.R. Parent Network's new Parenting and Caregiving After Prison series, and as one woman put it, "I now know I can make it through this [experience] and still be a mom."

Bishop Pates Urges Envoy To Continue Relief, Push for Peace in South Sudan
WASHINGTON--The bishops of South Sudan appreciate the support of the international community and call for greater emergency assistance as well as pressure for dialogue to keep their country from descending into increased poverty and conflict, said the chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on International Justice and Peace in an October 22 letter to Ambassador Donald Booth, special envoy to Sudan and South Sudan.

Medical Benefits of Cannabis
In 1982, the Canadian federal government approved the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the highest level of laws in the country. Section One of this Charter says all laws must be demonstrably justified, before they are valid. More specifically, "The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. Demonstrable justification requires true and proven harm to have been produced by the person, before harmful punishment can legally be imposed on the person. When people consume marijuana and no related harm is done, man-made laws against such actions and people cannot be demonstrably justified.

Members of Knesset, Orit Struk and Yariv Levin, heads of the Land of Israel Lobby in the Knesset, have prepared ten laws for applying sovereignty over ten different areas in Judea and Samaria. We discussed with MK Struk the laws that have been proposed and that are awaiting for the right moment to be moved along in the path of parliamentary legislation.

18 Short Stories about love in British & Indian Culture
'Love and its trials'
is the keynote that rings throughout the whole book emitting a kind of warm scents like the cinnamon tree woods. To some people this book reflects the theme of multiculturalism, fusing British and Indian culture together in one receptacle of a hot cauldron. However, my sole intention was to write about people focusing on the complexity of their psyche, not about culture. The book deals with different kinds of love - parental love, romantic love, spiritual love, narcissistic love, love for one's convictions and culture, love for one's nostalgic past and faith.

Mother, Mother, What Do You See?
Mother, I don't know how long I have in this world, but as long as there is life in this body, I will strive to reach that mountaintop. I owe it to the unfulfilled dreams of you and Father, to plant our flag on its highest peak. Like some my heart embraces the wisdom of Harriet du Autremont, "No vision and you parish; no ideal, and you are lost; your heart must cherish some faith at all cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, some rainbow in the sky, some melody to sing to, some service that is high."

The Shamrak Report: Fake Truth for People Who Fake God
Naftali Bennett fired back at US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday, after the latter claimed Israel 's failures to forge a peace deal with the intransigent PA - not the US's failures in the Middle East - are to blame for the rise of Islamic State (ISIS). "Even when a British Muslim beheads a British Christian, there will always be those who blame the Jews," Bennett stated. "We don't justify terror; we fight terror," he added. "The Israeli-Palestinian conflict statement encourages ISIS, and is a boost to terrorism worldwide." "I suggest they listen to and believe ISIS," he said. "These terrorists want to take over the Middle East, from Syria to Jordan and Lebanon, and to re-establish the Islamic caliphate." "We could either fight it or explain it away," he continued. "The choice is in the world's hands, and it will bear the consequences."

Harper turning Canada into a rogue state?
As far as I can see, the Harper Conservative government of Canada has not made the national debt as big as two Prime Ministers of Canada that held office, one from 1968 -- 1984 and the other that followed him. Both were spendthrifts and did not give a damn where the money came from, because they just raised taxes to keep up with their expenses. If that is good government, I do not know what isn't!

Fall or autumn
Even when they spoke of fall, they couldn't agree when, exactly, it took place. In the 17th and 18th centuries, dictionaries by both Thomas Blount and Samuel Johnson noted that some thought that fall began in August and ended in November, while others contested that it began in September (at the equinox) and ended in December (with the solstice)."

Mind Games of corrupt politicians in Canada
Being a lawyer, he studied the ins and outs of everyday situations, so that when he met with his Franco- Ameridian CABAL on November 22, 1963 along with Jean Marchand and Rene Levesque at the home of one of the conspirators Gerard Pelletier on Elm Street, Westmount, Kebek, they had all boned up on what was to be the agenda. But, there was something odd about this meeting, no English-speaking person was present. This was the clue that something was amiss from the very start.

Milt Gross Book Review: "The Binghams of Louisville" by David Leon Chandler and Mary Voelz Chandler
It's the alleged tale of a wealthy man and his family, whose money came from Standard Oil and other companies, including a railroad and real estate. The story is that his wife became ill, and the wealthy man hired a couple of physicians he knew to care for her. Neither doctor specialized in the wife's illness, and she eventually died. As I read, it became intriguing, especially as this is billed as a true story. I also wondered if any libel suits had been filed or acted on since the book was published in 1987.

Is Israel Ostracized?
The elitist media outlets of Israel, Western Europe and the USA are wrong! Israel is increasingly appreciated and embraced - not ostracized -- by the global community. In defiance of the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement in Britain, and despite the Gaza War, Israel's exports to Britain, and the Israel-Britain trade balance, surged by 38% and 28% respectively from January-August, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, expanding employment in both countries. In addition, 37 Israeli-British mergers & acquisitions and British stock market IPOs occurred during the same period.

Have you read my book -- Now Tell Me I Was Wrong?
They called themselves the Kitchen Militia. And we were betrayed by Republicans who led the way to pass this socialist revolution in our schools. In my book I detail that fight and I name the names of the Republicans who forced it through by any means, including lies and secret deals. Just to give you an idea of what I reported: as the vote was about to take place on Workforce Development Boards, a measure that I had personally helped to defeat three times, the Republican Senator who was sponsoring the bill told his fellow senators that I and Phyllis Schlafly were now supporting the bill. That lie got it passed.

The Shamrak Report: Western Hypocrisy
The US State Department has chosen to act as UNRWA's patron and the protector of its mission. UNRWA, the United Nations agency that manages the Palestinian refugee issue, follows rules that contradict United States law and policy, and its practices result in perpetuating and multiplying the refugee problem rather than resolving it.

The double Standards at work in the federal governments in Ottawa
Can one imagine what the costs were for a Limousine to drive this commissioner from his home in Montreal to his office in Ottawa and back daily? Could he not have been housed in Ottawa and have gone home on the weekends for at a much lesser cost? Well, it seems to Liberal elites like this commissioner that money was of no consequence, and damned be the Canadian taxpayers.

On with retirement
I remember when I used to walk fast on the mountain trails, a nice memory which probably won't be repeated in the near future. I recall the Beehive in Acadia National Park, where I didn't fall hundreds of feet into the ocean but felt like I would; I remember climbing Katahdin six times, which I won't be doing again in the near future; I recall climbing Mount Washington, seeing snow in August and almost losing a teenager who left us at the top and legged it pretty fast for the bottom -- but got turned around until a ranger called us at the top to tell us where the kid was; I remember the slippery leaves on the trail up Mount Batti in Camden, where I slipped back in the day when slipping was no big deal.

R.P. BenDedek Review: "The Living Rainbow" by Amy LaNiece Stewart
The illustrations are very colorful and the rhymes with their messages are interesting. Not everyone will find teaching on Chakras to be their cup of tea, but for those who don't mind or positively understand chakras then this is a colorful but simple style of presentation designed to arouse awareness in young children of important life lessons. There is a strong emphasis on God and Love and the following is an example of the lessons taught.

Terror coming to US: Sobering report from Act for America
Meanwhile, the clash between the Kurds and Yazidis with the Islamic State savages in Syria has spilled over to other regions, specifically Germany, where Kurds and Yazidis held marches demonstrating against IS. In what has to be considered concrete evidence of widespread support for IS among Germany's Muslim community, hundreds of Muslims confronted the demonstrators. 23 people were injured in the subsequent violence. Japanese authorities are investigating a group in their country who planned to travel to Syria to fight for IS. The US Army has issued a warning to US military personnel and families about the threat of attacks here in the US from
IS jihadists who have been instructed to scour press reports
and social media for locations where military families live.

Milt Gross Book Review: "Becoming Joey Fizz" by Stuart A. McKeever
The story itself is okay, taking the reader from Korea through the hero's youth and start as an adult in some pretty seedy parts of New York City. The story goes into a lot of detail about crime, criminals, and the New York City justice system. Some lengthy side stories don't seem to have enough relevance to the basic story to justify their length and detail. It ends with Joey's move to the suburbs, being married, and far too many details about the other characters in the book.

Your Wife has Cancer
My wife was a cherished elementary school teacher and was very active in our local church. During her cancer journey, she received so many cards and homemade gifts and tokens of love that we didn't have enough space to display all of them for her to see and enjoy. On her birthday, April 6, 2013, my son and I decided to cut down a tree from our property and put it up in our living room where we could hang all of the expressions of faith and love that she'd received. We called the tree her "Luvya Tree." She was so deeply moved by the tree and it became such a great source of encouragement for her. From that day until she died on April 27th, excluding nights in the hospital, she slept in a bed next to the Luvya Tree.

7 Friendship Ingredients to Implement in Marriage
Relationship problems occur because we do for our spouse what our individual preferences and desires would be, rather than what is important for them. Sometimes, basic qualities that contribute to good friendships -- sacrifice for each other and appreciating each other -- also go by the wayside in our marriages. Healthy friendships avoid pitfalls that often our spousal relationships fall into. I've listed below 7 of the top ingredients that catapult friendships and are highly valuable in our spousal relationships."

Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) Guide for the Perplexed, 2014
The House of David is compared to a Sukkah/tabernacle (Amos 9:1-15), representing the central vision of the ingathering of Jews to their land, Zion, the Land of Israel. Sukkot is the holiday of harvesting -- Assif - which also means "ingathering" in Hebrew. The four sides of the Sukkah represent the global Jewish community, which ingathers under the same roof/shelter. The construction of the Sukkah and Zion are two of the 248 Jewish Do's (next to the 365 Don'ts). Sukkot -- just like Passover -- commemorates Jewish sovereignty and liberty. Sukkot highlights the collective responsibility of the Jewish people, complementing Yom Kippur's and Rosh Hashanah's individual responsibility. Humility -- as a national and personal prerequisite - is accentuated by the humble Sukkah. Sukkot provides the last opportunity for the annual repentance.

UK wiretap watchdog wants MPs tapped
Official figures have revealed that UK law enforcement agencies and other government agencies made 439,000 requests to tap telephones and email addresses in a 15 month period between 2005 and 2006. A report from the Interception of Communications Commissioner, the UK surveillance watchdog, reports that 4,000 "errors" were made …
Proposed Solution - it's easy and GREEN!
He's a great idea. Paper communications are a waste of natural resources, and people talking on the telephone produces all those harmful clouds of CO2 with every breath - so we'll save money by routing all communication through a GCHQ email server. In the interests of climate change of course.
And as a side effect we won't have to all the bothersome paperwork to fill in when we want to intercept because, well, you're sending it to us anyway how could you NOT want us to read it.
It's a great plan! Lets have an e-petition about it and when millions of people say they don't want it I can explain to them all the ways they're wrong and don't understand the plan and maybe I didn't explain it well enough.

President Obama's climate diplomacy team is back from a two-day meeting in Paris of representatives from the 17 economies (including the European Union as one) responsible for more than 80 percent of emissions of greenhouse gases. The string of "Major Economies" meetings — the next one is in Mexico in late June — has two goals, its American organizers say:
- Clarifying what this small group of countries can do to help forge a new global climate agreement in Copenhagen in December,
- Working out specific partnerships to propel advances toward "transformational technologies" that could supply abundant energy to a growing human population without overheating the planet.
How did the Paris session go? If nothing else, the discussions clearly helped clarify the great distance between the stances of Europe and the United States. Also, the representatives from the Obama administration made it clear they want to avoid the path taken in 1997 in talks leading to the Kyoto Protocol. While a grand if loosely outlined accord was forged in Japan in December of that year, subsequent negotiations over details left the pact emasculated, by many accounts, and also without United States support. [UPDATE, 2:40 p.m.: Here's a fresh report on climate and other topics raised by Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, during her China visit.]
At a news conference in Paris Tuesday evening, Todd D. Stern, the State Department special envoy on climate, and Michael Froman, the deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, answered questions from reporters based in Europe. Here are a few take-home points: Read more…

As the 2014 NBA Draft approaches, that means it is time for the large amounts of offseason NBA Rumors to pick up.
And by that I mean where will Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James sign?
While it has been speculated for a while now that the two close friends want to play together, a few teams around the NBA are gearing up to try and make that a reality.
Naturally the Miami Heat are going to do everything they can to re-sign LeBron and the New York Knicks will do everything they can to re-sign Melo.
But it may not be enough.
ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Marc Stein have reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers are all prepared to make runs at landing both superstars.
In addition to the Miami Heat's obvious desire to retain James by any means necessary and pursue Anthony if he urges them to do so, sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks are among the teams mulling potential trades designed to clear enough cap space to be able to recruit the two stars and close friends.
The Los Angeles Lakers, meanwhile, had begun exploring such machinations even before the opt outs of James and Anthony had become known, according to ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne.
The Lakers have been trying in recent days to package the No. 7 overall pick in Thursday's draft with the expiring contract of Steve Nash (who's owed $9.7 million next season) to free up enough room to offer James and Anthony at least $16 million each next season to join forces with Kobe Bryant, Shelburne reported.
I still say it is a crazy idea but with each passing day it becomes a little clearer that something like this could happen.
The Knicks will try and land both players as well but being that they would have to right now try and sign LeBron for a little over $3 million, the simple thought is laughable.
I still believe Melo ends up in Chicago and LeBron ends up in back in Miami, but the Cavs and Lakers could have something to say about it all before it is official.
If anything it is definitely worth paying serious attention to as free agency gets set to begin.

A possible quick fix for an unresponsive Dock
yeah my last 3 MBP's all do that. When i am at home, they are running in clam shell mode, connected to external display and keyboard/mouse.
I've tried different ways of putting them to sleep in different order, but most of the time when i come to work and open the laptop (without external monitor attached), i am either missing all of the icons on the desktop, or Expose is not working.
Open Terminal and run these:
This fixes Expose, and stuck Dock

consumer in the economy. The existence of such a representative agents has been investigated by Muellbauer (1975, 1976). In many ways, the conditions to make this story work are less restrictive than those for the original representative consumer, and indeed Muellbauer's representative consumer has a representative income that depends on the distribution of income as well as on its mean. However, it is unclear whether the additional complexity of these formulations would commend them to those seeking straightforward interpretations of the COLI concept of a price index.
Unless we place restrictions on the distribution of income, the existence of a representative agent requires that individual h has preferences that can be represented by cost functions of the Gorman "polar form" (Gorman, 1959):
ch(uh, p)=ah(p)+ uhb(p), (1)
where uh is utility, p is a vector of prices, and ah(p) and b(p) are nonnegative linearly homogeneous and quasi-concave functions of p. Taste variation is permitted in the function ah(p) but not in b(p). The representative agent has a cost function that is the average of (1), which is
c(u, p) =a¯(p) + ub(p). (2)
Denote by xh the total expenditure of h.
Suppose that the two price vectors to be compared in the COLI are p1 and p0. The base-period COLI for h, is written
while the representative consumer's COLI is
where is the population mean of xh0. Straightforward computation then confirms that
so that the representative consumer's COLI is the plutocratic average of the individual COLIs,

How Our Photo Sessions Work
The Session Consult
Before your session we do a consult over the phone where we go over ideas for your session, location, clothing, props, theme, etc. With every session I really try to bring aspects of you (and your family) into the theme of the session. Often times I collect or create special props for your shoot based on the consult.
The Session
There's no time limit, there's no outfit limit. I shoot until we feel like we've gotten everything we can. I do ask that you be on time for your session and come ready to start.
The Ordering Meeting
After the session I take your images, choose the best of the best, edit them and post 30-40 of the best images on your own online gallery. I try to have all sessions edited within two weeks of the session, but it usually happens a bit sooner since I can't wait to get my hands on the images. Then we get together for an ordering meeting where you can see many of the products we offer in person and you can place your print and product order. We usually do these meetings in the client's home because this gives you an opportunity to show me walls in your home you might want to put prints on. We take a photo of the wall, do some measurements and then superimpose some image options with the appropriate sizes for the wall so you can see what it will look like before you even order!
Other Things to Note
- We have a list of studio policies that you must read and sign before we do your photo session. You can download them here.
- Your session fee is due at the time you book.
- Your session will fall under one of four session brands: For the Love of Couples, Senior Sessions, Family Ties or To Be Wed.
- Yes, we'll always post a few web quality photos on Facebook to share with friends.

Original and surreal, this blend of nature doc and murder mystery unfolds over a summer's day in a Hungarian village, where a body is discovered in a lake. Dispensing with dialogue, Hukkle pays as much attention to the activities of animals and insects as it does to its human characters. Growing ever darker in tone, it conjures a disconcertingly strange natural world.

I've used this for the past year each time I wash my hair and still have more than half left! Therefore, it is a long term investmen, even though it is expensive! Works wonders with my frizzy hair: it makes it look smooth, healthy and polished without using heat. Love it and will repurchase!

I use this on dry hair, have switched to this after macadamia oil stopped doing wonders for my dry bleached ends wavy hair. So happy with this, makes my hair instantly feel like silk and frizz free, it's expensive but definitely worth it :-)

Made my dry hair look oily and yet it didn't moisturize at all. Seems like the product wasn't absorbed by my hair. Would rather stick to the Macadamia oil (even though it smells a little funky)

Underwhelmed by this. It smooths down hair for a while, but doesn't impart much gloss, if hair is very frizzy, it will not resolve the problem. A good point is that it doesn't make my hair too greasy but I don't feel that my hair benefits from it particularly.

This is a good silicone serum, although nothing outstanding. Kerastase is expensive, but this serum lasts very long even with everyday use. It won't leave your hair oily, dirty or flat (doesn't ruin your style), but tames the frizzes and makes hair softer. However, there is one huge problem: its cheap coconutty suntan lotion smell is so strong, that it goes on forever. Because of the good performance you could use it every day, or even more times a day if you feel like it, but the smell multiplies and causes nausea (for me at least). I used it as a pre-shampoo treatment, and it worked fine for that purpose. The smell was a horror, but I knew I'd wash it out in the end.
Tha packaging is OK, I haven't experienced any major leaking, as with the Tigi oil for example.

My Mum gave me this so I didn't go out and buy it and after trying it I'm glad I didn't! Maybe it's just my hair type (fine) but even the tiniest pump through my dried hair made it just look like an oil slick! It also made my hair clumpy and greasy when used on my damp hair before styling. This really is a hype product that has not worked for me at all!

I get a 50% discount at my work so I decided $10 to try this wasn't bad at all. I always use a serum in my hair after I've dried it and so I've tried a lot and this was probably my least favorite. It doesn't do anything at all besides make it shinny.

New York actress Holland Taylor recently debuted her production of Ann for Broadway in Chicago. She personifies and brings to life the story Ann Richards, the late Texas governor, in a one-woman show with a simple set and a self-written script.
At lunch one day Ms. Taylor discussed the legend of Ann and Holland's stellar television career from Bosom Buddies to Two and a Half Men.
Jerry Nunn: That Ann Richards was quite a pistol. I just saw your performance the other night.
Holland Taylor: Oh, good. I'm glad you saw it. She was actually a huge person as you could tell from seeing the play.
JN: What inspired you to make a one-woman show about her?
HT: Inspiration is the answer. Some people would just look from a distance and assume that I made a practical or professional decision to do a one-person show and that I was looking for a subject. First of all I am too old to do a one-person show. I would never say at this time in my life, "I would like to shoulder the complete responsibility for a very expensive production and do it for months and months!" I wouldn't do that.
JN: Of course not, and you had met her in the past correct?
HT: I was an enormous fan of Ann Richards. She was a profound person that people felt a surge of attraction for. People would yell at her on the street, "I voted for you, Governor" and they were from New Jersey! People wanted to sit in her lap in the theatre because she was just so adorable. When she died she was at the top of her game and spoke all over the place. I had lunch with her and saw heads snap to see her. Liz Smith and I were waiting for her and there was a sudden silence in the restaurant when she arrived.
JN: How soon did she pass away after that?
HT: About a year or so. It was so sudden, she had esophageal cancer and before we knew it she was gone. I was just bereft and though how sad and so young. Ann was gone in a twinkling and really ripped from the bosom of the Texans who loved her. We had lost a heroine.
JN: So now she can live on with this show.
HT: I had a creative urge to do something. If I were a painter I would have painted a portrait of her. So I decided to act her in something since I am an actor, maybe a movie of the week or from the years when she quit drinking and her triumph as governor. I was driving to work and had to pull over when I thought of the play. She is a live person so making a connection with people. I can't convey to you what a startling discovery this was because the governing principals of this play came to me in those 15 minutes, the structure, where it would be, the occasion of her speaking and that daring turn at the end.
JN: This must have been quite a revelation.
HT: I was in a state of excitement and was stunned at the same time. I never looked back. I started researching her and made contact with her family to let them know I was doing it. If they had not wanted me to then I would not. You don't need permission for a public person but I wanted the family to be behind it.
JN: That is important. Was she open minded about the LGBT community?
HT: Ann had gay people on her staff. I don't think she thought about it one way or the other. One thing she made sure to do, you know from seeing the play, is that her appointments were her lasting legacy. She wanted to hire the best person for the job, which is why she put in plenty of republicans as well. She said, "Everyone had the right to screw up as much as everyone else."
JN: This was very open-minded.
HT: In the '90s AIDS was becoming this flare of alarm and fear, confusion and ignorance. She had an ethics office in her treasury office. If people had any concerns then there was a safe place for them to come and talk. She had a gay pastor put on the board for funerals because she felt that with AIDS deaths someone should protect the interests of gay people. That was in 1991. She was a real hero in that sense. She did not judge people and was extraordinarily open hearted and open eyed.
JN: So she has a lot of ideas to bring to modern audiences.
HT: That is just the penny dropping in the slot. I had no idea for it to be appropriate for our times. I was moved by an emotional and creative urge to find out why she had such potency for me and for others. With occupy Wall Street Ann would be out there on the front lines.
JN: It seems like you are having a great time up there portraying her.
HT: I'm starting to. This script has been rewritten three different times. Some areas needed to be more fleshed out, the bout with alcoholism and the loss of her marriage. We have cut out material that people screamed when I did. I wanted it to be under two hours. It is 15 minutes shorter than Carrie Fisher and John Lithgow's solo shows so I figure I am in a good ballpark now. You saw my show on the third night I had ever performed it.
JN: But you had been rehearsing it in Texas correct?
HT: No, that was a different script. Do you have any idea what it is like to unlearn one script and learn a new one?
JN: That has to be tricky.
HT: It is beyond tricky because it is not really in my muscles yet. If I am not thinking consciously step-by-step my body can flip to an old way of doing something. In about another week I should feel free about worrying if a part is coming that is similar to the other script. Those fleeting thoughts can be destructive so I am looking forward to one more week.
JN: Then the play goes onto Washington.
HT: We will be in the Kennedy Center in a glorious theatre. It is hard to play some of the comic things sometimes at the Bank of America Theatre because the laughter has to come from the far back of the theatre for me to hear it. It slows it down a fraction because it is so big.
JN: It is fun to hear the quotes from her.
HT: It is about 90 percent written and not taken from anything. If you added letters, and quotes that people gave me, it might be ten percent of the play. Everything in the governor's office happened. Now some of the things happened in person and I just put them on the phone. I was told these stories by the players themselves.
JN: Has the family seen it?
HT: Her sons have seen it in Austin. I think everyone will come to Washington.
JN: The goal is to get this to Broadway?
HT: No the goal is already achieved. The goal is to do it, express it, and have people get it. I have everything I want. I do have a producer who picked up the show named Bob Boyett. He will be bringing it into New York. It is a great reward but not the goal.
JN: We are glad you decided to debut it here first.
HT: I picked Chicago because it is a theatre town. New York caters to many tourists. With the Lookingglass, Goodman, and Steppenwolf you are going to play to a smart, warm, audience, not people that are being dragged to the theatre. Our first preview was gangbusters. I could believe how sharp, eager and fast they were. I could hardly keep up with them.
JN: What good timing to appear locally on The Rosie Show!
HT: I will tell you how that happens is because Ann was born under a special star and this show is catching some of the light. It ain't me…
JN: Well, I have been watching you since Bosom Buddies.
HT: My friend (shakes hands) that was my first job in LA. I was strictly New York until then.
JN: That was a fun show with drag on major television.
HT: You know it is still playing? I get these residuals for $1.06. Tom Hanks and I see each other periodically and laugh that it is still going. We jumped networks and there wasn't even a full season. There were only 37 of them.
JN: You have been on Two and a Half Men since the beginning.
HT: I do it whenever I can. I started the play when we were on hiatus. They can use the character when I am available. She is not a full time character. That is why I was able to do this play.
JN: Who would you want to play you if it were a show about your life?
HT: (laughs) My life is not the subject for any theatrical thing that is why this has been such a joy in my life. I have been a hired gun slipping and sliding from show to show. People act like I have designed my career. Shit I have taken pretty much every job I have been offered because I wanted to make a living. Now this play has offered me the opportunity to do something that has meaning and value not just for me but others. I'm 68 and I can't tell you what that means at this time in my life!

Rupert Murdoch and his son James now say they will meet next week with British lawmakers investigating phone hacking and bribery by employees of their newspaper empire.
They initially turned down a request to appear before Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee next Tuesday. But after lawmakers took the dramatic step of issuing a summons, the Murdochs agreed to appear.
Public revulsion over revelations of widespread hacking has emboldened lawmakers to take on the once-untouchable media moguls. Britain's business secretary says it's "a bit like the end of a dictatorship."
Yesterday, political opposition in Parliament forced the Murdochs to withdraw their bid for highly profitable network British Sky Broadcasting.
The deal unraveled after a rival newspaper reported that Murdoch's News of the World tabloid had hacked into the phone of a teenage murder victim in 2002. Hackers allegedly targeted thousands of others, too, including politicians, celebrities and families of dead soldiers.

Unfortunately Miss Frumkin's story is not unique. There are an estimated 1.7 to 2.4 million chronically mentally ill persons in the United States. Like Miss Frumkin, many have drifted in and out of hospitals as the symptoms of chronic mental illness fluctuate unpredictably. They have failed to find a caretaker or treatment setting that will assume primary responsibility for their care. They have fallen between the cracks of different agencies when seeking help in the community.They are taking various kinds of antipsychotic drugs to help control the symptoms of chronic mental illness and are developing adverse effects. They are leading lonely marginal lives in but not of the community. They are becoming overwhelmed by the cost of the illness. They are experiencing frustration and despair in attempting to deal with an illness "stronger than I am," in Miss Frumkin's words.Policymakers can learn a great deal from the personal experiences of Miss Frumkin and her family. Her story clearly illustrates the profound impact of chronic mental illness on patients, families, and communities, as well as the catastrophic costs involved in providing care.

The bible describes pious as being a very devout and learned fellow. I believe it is just being full of pie, or some sort of soft nougatty substance.
That dude over at Baker's Square is very pious.

Used to describe a very devout and calm individual, one who does not sin and obeys the word of their god.

Piou: An onomatopoeia used to imitate a foghorn or laser sound, which are commonly found in Jamaican dancehall music. Used to display excitement or affection. Always recited in sequences of, though not limited to, 3.

Psst! Here's How to Figure Out Your Market Value
Posted By Carole Fleck On February 6, 2013 @ 3:34 pm In Work Matters | Comments Disabled
[1]Just how much are your job [2] skills worth in today's marketplace?
If you're 50 or older and looking for work [3], you know painfully well how difficult the search can be. Since the recession laid off millions of older workers [4], it's taken them twice as long to find work as their younger counterparts.
Rick Zabor, owner of PeopleStaff, a recruiting firm in Georgia specializing in tech jobs, says it's important for older job seekers to convey to hiring officials the successes they've had over their careers, as long as they're still relevant.
"The higher number of accomplishments you have, the higher your market value," Zabor says. "But if you're really good in one area, and the market doesn't care about that area – for example, you were a great buggy whip salesman but that's outdated because cars have come into play – your accomplishments and value won't be very high."
To figure out your market value, whether you're searching for work or mustering up the courage to ask for a raise [5] at your current job, it's important to know what your industry pays for a job description that closely matches yours or the one for which you're applying.
[Looking for work? AARP can help [6].]
Naturally, ranges of pay based on job title and level of responsibility can vary considerably. But there are a few resources that can help you get a good sense for what jobs in certain fields pay.
Consider these sites to get you started:
To get the most accurate information about your market value, experts say it's important to match your job description to a job that has most of the same responsibilities as yours; in other words, don't just look at job title. The size of the company or geographic location may also make a difference in salary levels. A special set of skills or certifications may also increase your value.
Zabor, the staffing consultant, says older job seekers are often better suited to apply for positions involving project management or leadership roles.
"If you're in the job market, figure out what problem the hiring manager is trying to solve," he says. "It comes down to not years of experience or age, but what's the value you bring to the marketplace?"

Hey there
I'm still alive, haha ;)
I've had some weird months since i was online here for the last time. Trouble with boys and i couldn't work out.
But i went to see a psychiatrist (finally) and it helped me so much. I have to take antidepressants and i'm feeling better now :)
I'm at my lowest weight now, 57 kg and i feel really good about myself. Mostly because my boyfriend tells me how pretty i am every single day. It really boosts my self esteem :) i love him to death and i think i found the love of my life. He's the sweetest and most caring person i've ever met.
I mean, sure, i still have problems about food (i don't wanna lie, sometimes i think i have some kind of ed). I don't want to eat anything with carbs and sweet food like cake or ice cream disgusts me. I'd rather eat fruit and veggies the entire day and sometimes i skip meals. I can't even eat normal sized portions bc i feel full so quickly but i'm working on it.
i might take some pictures today and post them here (hopefully there's progress to see)
hey guys
my life's been a bit weird lately. i live at my grandparents now, i have two jobs at the moment and i don't work out anymore (i hate that i can't work out anywhere, i'm so mad about this omfg) but i still eat healthy and i'm losing weight again. maybe because i'm pretty active.
i also see a therapist because of my depression.
so much has happened :O but i still don't have internet access at my grandparents. i'm in vienna right now, visiting my family.

The Scoop Behind FanIQ Season Two
10/21/09 in FanIQ | Ty | 81 respect
Here are the exciting new features you can expect in Season Two later this month:
Introducing Quick Fantasy – Win Cash Daily!
We've often been asked why FanIQ doesn't have Fantasy. Our belief is that the world doesn't need another fantasy game like all the rest – long, hard to play, and frustrating (if your team sucks). Fantasy games should be quick, easy, and above all fun to play every day, so we've created a game with a fun new twist – instead of playing one game against the same group of friends for an entire season, you can play a new game against anyone every day! It's Quick Fantasy, and it's only available on FanIQ.
We also know that fantasy is a lot more fun when you can bet your opponent on the outcome of the game. So, we're enabling Cash Games as well as rolling out a new currency called Q Bucks that you can use to wager in Fantasy. Challenge your friends head to head, and the winner takes the Cash or Q Bucks pot!
Q Bucks are earned by winning weekly trophies in games, visiting FanIQ every day, and other future activities on FanIQ . Q Bucks can be spent in our new Q Store on cool stuff for your profile and on gifts you can send to other fans. In the future, you'll be able to use your Q Bucks to buy special powers and privileges.
A New Ranking System for Being the Top Fan of your Team
We've simplified how you become your favorite team's top-ranked fan. Your team rank will now be based on just two statistics, which measure how you are contributing to your team. We will track your "Contributions" which are your submissions about your teams (comments, articles, etc.) and the "Respect" you receive for these contributions. "Respect" is Season Two's version of thumbs up.
This new ranking system replaces the more complex "Fan Points" system for determining top fans, which today tracks over 30 types of activity.
A Better Point System with Weekly Award Winners
We've thought long and hard about the best way to reward our top users, and it's become clear that our points system needs to enable new users to be competitive AND reward long-term users for their diligence and loyalty.
In Season Two, we'll track both weekly and career rankings for FanIQ games. Weekly rankings will enable new users to compete with existing users, and career rankings will showcase long-term excellence from our most dedicated users.
While your "IQ" points accumulated in Season One will still count toward your career rankings in games like trivia, quizzes, pick'em, and polls, Season Two will not have global FanIQ rankings or levels. For the top-ranked fans from Season One, we'll award a special "Season One All Star" badge to recognize their contributions and status.
We're excited at launching this new and improved season of competition on FanIQ. We realize that change is always hard but we're confident that Season Two is a big improvement. As always, your feedback and questions are welcome below. For more information about the changes, please visit the FAQs.

NASA is now sending information via light. NASA has sent a short video from the international space station back to earth using a laser. The devices used is called the OPALS or Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science.
The video below that was transmitted in about 3.5 second would have taken over 10 minutes to send using current methods.
If you think communication moves fast right now, just wait till we can communicate at the speed of light.
Think about downloading something with your smartphone, if you are on WiFi you're using a fiber optic network and downloads move very quickly. If you're just using your 3g however, well then the speeds are significantly slower. This technology would allow you to download wirelessly as quickly as you do on WiFi, no matter where you are. In fact this technology would be much faster than WiFi.
What this could mean for future consumers is that there might not be a need for a ground based network. Since a beam of light would have almost limitless capacity, you would never need to have a data limit. (That's not to say you wouldn't have one because communication companies love to rip you off.) There would be no slowing down of a network due to high usage, it just wouldn't matter.
The implications for this technology are just amazing. It would, in my opinion, be a jump just as big as the jump to WiFi. WiFi might one day be as antiquated as that AOL log on sound is today.
This is where communication companies usually fall into a trap. They are so sure that you must use their service they stop moving forward. They begin to rip off their customers because they feel like they have a lock on the market.
AOL certainly felt like the world couldn't go on without them, and they got left in the dust. The same could be said for Microsoft when they didn't want to get into phones and mobile devices.
Will the bad will and anger that the cable companies are creating with their anti-consumer tactics come back to haunt them? Are they letting the bet ride a little too long? Will laser communication revolutionize the world? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Be sure to check out our baby draft!

Re: Business Listings
I verified the business a couple of years ago. Got a postcard in the mail and entered a code into their website.
The verification process was failing when I tried it this time.
Funnily enough, I actually got an email from Jennie at Google today telling me about the account verification. I replied explaining that I had already been through the process.
About an hour ago, I received a call from a number in America which turned out to be Jennie from Google who said she'd verified my account for me and to give it a couple of days for the corrections to filter down to the search results.
Pretty good service in the end!
I've been trying to get Google to correct our business listing for ages now.
Put in our postcode into their business manager thing and it doesn't recognise it. Drag the marker on the map to where we are and it gets the entire address right apart from the postcode.
Type our postcode into Google Maps and it recognises it and our business is pretty much at the centre.
They also have a couple of our opening times wrong, still as yet unresolved.
Sort it out Google.

We then realised we had bought the wrong tickets and had to deal with an actual person to get it sorted.
