This morning I lost the treasured hour in the quiet car where I can read a book without interruption and not listen to 2nd-hand cell phone! Ahhhhhhhh!!
The reason I lost that hour is partly that I am spending the last 15 minutes of that hour bitching to you. But I lost the first 45 minutes when I got an email from Southwest Airlines saying the reservation for the flight bringing John Wilson to Philadelphia today was cancelled.
Cancelled!! How? By whom?
John emailed me yesterday about our plans for tonight. He did not email, text, or call me, so it must be a computer glitch--at least that's what I thought.
So I called Southwest--leaving the quiet car and walking to the other end of the next car. Did I ever say how much I despise people who talk on cell phones in the quiet car and worse, go to the end of the quiet car, still inside it, and talk. If I am ever ejected from a train, it will be because I told one of those jerks to leave the car and they got mad enough to fight. Hasn't happened yet, but not for lack of trying on my part.
Anyway. So I politely stick my head in the luggage rack of the next car and call Southwest. I get on virtual hold where they call me back. I read the newspaper while waiting, head where the top bags are:
When Southwest called me back, I talked to a very patient ticket agent who said the reservation was cancelled on line and I should call John.
I called. His wife Wendy answered. John was in the John very sick. It turns out John is hoping to be better tomorrow, but cancelled the reservation and was planning to call me later.
So I really do mistrust computers. Which is silly. I do not mistrust the navigation computers in Chinooks and Blackhawks and all airliners for that matter. It's only the computers I interact with--like the ones that I use to take Army on line training.
End of bitching about computers.
For now.

4 Data resources for long-lived persons and their families
One of the approaches to study of the familial aggregation of human longevity is to find long-lived persons (nonagenarians and centenarians, etc.) and then to collect information about their families for further scientific analysis. In this review the following investigators were identified who work in this research area and who might be contacted for the purpose of collecting more detailed information about their databases:
4.1 Baltimore Longevity Study
The Baltimore Longevity Study was initiated in 1922 by Raymond Pearl who collected data on the ancestry of nonagenarians [132]. This study was extended further by Professor Edmond Murphy at Johns Hopkins University and produced many new results important for understanding the mechanisms of human longevity [1, 2, 81, 122]. This study was supported by grant GM-08944 and by grant 5-R01-CH00330 from the U.S. Public Health Service. Preliminary attempts to find these data from one of the participants of this Study (Dr. Helen Abbey) revealed that the archives were lost during relocations in the Johns Hopkins University. However, other participants of the Baltimore Longevity Study will eventually be contacted for the purpose of locating this unique source of information on familial longevity.
4.2 Centenarian Studies in Europe
4.2.1 Familial studies of centenarians in France
The largest survey of centenarians has been started in 1990 by the IPSEN Foundation in France that included medical examination of 756 persons (663 women and 93 men), about a quarter of the estimated total number of centenarians living in France [5, 6, 148]. Dr. Michel Allard, the head of the project, is actively collecting familial data on French centenarians over the whole country.
Drs. Robine and Allard [149] have studied the familial aggregation of longevity among the relatives of the longest-lived woman Jeanne Calment, who died in Arles, France on August 4, 1997, at the age of 122 years and 164 days. For the purpose of their study they have identified 62 immediate ancestors of Jeanne Calment corresponding to 5 generations (two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, and 32 great-great-great-grandparents). Robine and Allard [149] were able to validate the lengths of life for 55 ancestors out of these 62. They have found that the immediate ancestors of Jeanne Calment lived longer than the matched controls, especially on her paternal side. On the other hand, the parents of Jeanne Calment had lost two children in infancy before she was born, while her brother died at age of 97 [149]. Robine and Allard also collected genealogical data on familial longevity for the city of Arles where Jeanne Calment was born [148].
4.2.2 The Italian Multicentric Study of Centenarians
This study involves 21 University Centers and focuses on epidemiological and socioeconomic characteristics of centenarians. The investigation examined 382 randomly selected centenarians from a total 1162 centenarian subjects recorded by Italian census carried out on 31 December, 1993. The analysis included collection of family history data. Analysis of the data revealed that the centenarians had a family history of long life: the mean survival of centenarians' parents (73 ± 16.5 years), grandparents (78.76 ± 15.3 years) and siblings (70.71 ± 25.3 years) was much higher than that of Italian population in 1950 (66 years). For the complete list of the participants see special publications [113, 163].
Recently the National Institute on Aging has been established in Italy (Director - Dr. Claudio Franceschi). One of the scientific directions of this Institute is the study of Italian centenarians, including studies of familial clustering of longevity.
4.2.3 Familial studies of centenarians in Belgium
Data on Belgian centenarians and their families are being actively collected by Dr. Michel Poulain (Professor of the Center on Demographic Studies for Public Administration, GéDAP, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium), Dr. Dany Chambre and Michel Foulon. They have collected data on more than 5000 Belgian centenarians born in 1870-1897. Information on centenarians' genealogies is also collected using archive data and other sources [145].
4.2.4 Swedish Centenarian Study
These studies are carried out by Sven-Mĺrten Samuelsson, Bo Hagberg, Gillis Samuelsson, Betty Bauer Alfredson, Bertil Nordbeck at the Gerontology Research Centre, Lund, Sweden.
The purpose of this project, is to identify the medical, psychological and social qualities in the centenarians, to relate the centenarians characteristics to known aging models, to assess the different qualities contributing to the attainment of advanced age, to make interdisciplinary comparisons in cooperation with other international centenarian studies and to identify national and general aging determinants. Centenarians born 1887-91, who lived in southern Sweden were asked to participate in this multidisciplinary study (N = 164). Of the survivors (N = 143), 70 percent agreed (N = 100). The purpose was to describe the population from physical, social, and psychological points of view; to characterize centenarians with various health conditions and diverse degrees of autonomy and life satisfaction; and to identify factors at 100 years that predict future survival. Results: Eighty-two percent were women, 25 percent lived in their own home, 37 percent in old age homes, and 38 percent in nursing homes. Socioeconomic status showed a similar distribution compared to nationally representative data. Fifty-two percent managed activities of daily living with or without minor assistance. The incidence of severe diseases was low. Results suggested that centenarians are a special group genetically. A causal structure model emphasized body constitution, marital status, cognition and blood pressure as particularly important determinants for survival after 100 years [151].
4.2.5 Centenarian Studies in Denmark
Research team
Jeune B, Skytthe A, Vaupel JW, Olsen H, Andersen-Ranberg K
Odense Universitet, Center for Helsetjenesteforskning og Socialpolitik (CHS).
Current research projects
Data on long-lived persons kept at CHS:
In these projects the demography of centenarians in Denmark in the period 1775-1995 were studied. The prevalence of centenarians in Denmark increased from about 1-2 pr. million in the last half of the 1800s to about 80 pr. million in 1995, especially among women since 1950 leading to a female/male-ratio of three to one. A total of 4292 centenarian deaths were found reported in different sources. The number of reported centenarian deaths was found to be much higher in the first half than in the last half of the 1800s, especially among men and among 105+ year-old: A thorough examination of 275 reported centenarian deaths on the Island of Funen from before 1900 indicates that this most plausibly was due to age-exaggeration and lack of validation of the reported ages before 1850.
In another study the authors described morbidity and functional capacity of centenarians in the County of Funen. A total of 51 out of 58 centenarians on Funen born on May 1, 1894 or before participated. An interview could be carried out almost completely in 80.4% of the 51 participants, cognitive testing (MMSE) in 78.4% and physical performance test (PPT) in 49%. Additional information on morbidity and activities of daily living (ADL) was collected on all 51 centenarians from family members, nursing staff, GP's, hospital registries and the National Cancer Registry. Almost 3/4 were women and 58.8% were in an old people's home.
Studies on Danish centenarians are described in many publications [9, 10, 23, 79, 92-94, 103, 130, 158, 179].
4.2.6 Centenarian Study in Germany
Centenarian studies in Germany are now conducted in the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (Founding and Executive Director - Professor James W. Vaupel, Ph.D.). The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research was opened in October 1996 in Rostock to produce basic, scientific research on selected demographic questions. The focus of the studies is on questions that offer particularly promising opportunities for systematic, intensive investigation by collaborative teams of scholars. In cooperation with the venerable University of Rostock (established in 1419), the Institute also endeavors to advance the scientific discipline of demography.
The Institute is currently involved in numerous research projects on longevity being conducted by the Laboratory of Survival and Longevity to study the question of why some people die at 60 and others at 90 and what can be done about it. One of the research projects is devoted to the Centenarians and Supercentenarians.
A focus on extreme cases is often a good way to gain research leverage at reasonable expense. Almost all theories fit empirical data under ordinary circumstancesotherwise the theories would not have been proposed. Hence to test theories, extreme cases provide crucial information. Because only a few people per hundred (e.g., in Western Europe and Japan) or per thousand (e.g., in China) survive from age 80 to age 100, centenarians are worth studying, perhaps in comparison with octogenarians and nonagenarians. Even in the most developed countries today only a few centenarians per thousand survive to age 110, so such supercentenarians represent the outer extremes of human existence. An international Supercentenarian Register (with DNA data as well as environmental, behavioral and health data) could provide precious information and will be established and developed in the Institute. The work on establishing such a Supercentenarian Register in the Institute is in progress now [168, 171, 172].
4.2.7 Centenarian Study in Finland
The research team working at the Second Department of Medicine, University of Helsinki include Louhija J., Miettinen H.E., Kontula K., Tikkanen M.J., Miettinen T.A., Tilvis R.S.
In their study the common polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (E2, E3, and E4), apolipoprotein B Xba I polymorphism, and apolipoprotein C-III Sst I polymorphism was determined in almost all Finnish centenarians alive in 1991 (n = 179/185). Plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in different apolipoprotein genotypes were also measured [110, 160].
4.3 Centenarian Studies in the United States
Centenarian studies in the United States are rather active now and include: (1) Georgia Centenarian Study, (2) familial studies of centenarians in Iowa, (3) New England Centenarian Study Projects and (4) studies on familial aggregation of human longevity using Utah Population Database (described above).
4.3.1 Georgia Centenarian Study
The Georgia Centenarian Study formally began in 1988 with a four-year research grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. A supplementary grant was obtained a year later to implement a nutrition component in the study.
In this study eighty-eight participants in each of three cohorts were tested: cohorts born in the 1880s (centenarians), 1900s (80-89 year olds at the time of testing), and 1920s. These cohorts were selected on the basis of their experience of distinct historical events (i.e., the Great Depression and World War II) during their developing years. The ages of the centenarians were confirmed by relatives and one other source {e.g., family bible). Because the State of Georgia did not begin to compile formal birth records until the 1920s, it was not possible to verify the date of birth by formal means. Secondary government sources (e.g., social security) were also helpful in confirming an individual's age.
The centenarians were recruited by referrals from a wide network of state (including the offices of the Governor and Secretary of State) and local agencies, churches, television and print media, and individuals contacted by the project staff. A full-time recruiter worked to track down referrals across the state of Georgia, obtain informed consent, perform preliminary screening, schedule participants and testers in different parts of the state, explain the study to family or relatives, debrief the participants and families, and keep track of the changing status of the participants (birthdays, health status and institutionalization, and funerals).
During the study information about longevity of siblings, parents, grandparents, and children was obtained. The information was verified by at least one other source to ensure its accuracy. Family longevity was used as an individual-difference variable to predict membership in age groups in our individual-difference model. Other information collected in this study included: Social and environmental support, Personality, Stress and coping, Life satisfaction and morale, Health, Mental health, Nutrition and dietary patterns, Intelligence and cognition, Reminiscence, Religiosity. This study has not revealed familial history of longevity among centenarians. For more information see the related publications [114, 142].
4.3.2 Familial studies of centenarians in Iowa
Large collection of data on long-lived persons in Iowa with attempts to collect information about their families was managed by Dr. Peter Martin (Human Development and Family Studies, Iowa State University, 209, CD Building, Ames, IA, 50011, USA). The data on Iowa long-lived persons including centenarians are kept in computerized form. Since Dr. Peter Martin is working now in Germany, the current status of the project could be requested from the Human Development and Family Studies Department of the Iowa State University.
4.3.3 New England Centenarian Study Projects
Based at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the New England Centenarian Study's mission is to study centenarians who we believe carry the secrets to successful aging and how to delay or even escape diseases associated with aging. The underlying hypothesis of the study is that centenarians are a select cohort who have a history of aging relatively slowly and who have either markedly delayed or entirely escaped diseases normally associated with aging such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, stroke and heart disease. The study is made up of 4 major components: (i) an ongoing population-based medical and demographic study of approximately all centenarians living within Boston and seven of its suburban communities (ii) neuropsychological-neuropathological correlation, definition of what is "normal" versus what is disease among this group (iii) population genetics, discovering familial patterns relating to the phenotype of extreme longevity and (iv) molecular genetics, searching for both nuclear and mitochondrial longevity enabling genes using centenarian sibling-pairs, families highly clustered for extreme longevity and random centenarian subjects in conjunction with younger controls [8, 134-139, 156].
4.3.4 Studies of Familial Longevity Using Utah Population Database
Familial data on long-lived persons are studied at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT on the basis of Utah Population Database. There are two projects devoted to the studies of familial aggregation in human longevity and supported by the National Institute on Aging (PI - Dr. Richard Cawthon): the R03 project "Selection of families for genetic analyses of longevity" and the K01 project "Identification of genes contributing to human longevity".
The specific aims of these research projects are 1) To test the hypothesis that mitochondrial inheritance contributes to longevity, and 2) To develop criteria to select sib pairs suitable for genetic linkage studies of longevity. Both aims will be carried out by analyzing mortality and family relationship data in the Utah Population Database, a large genealogy containing records on approximately 1.2 million individuals from 170,000 families.
4.4 Centenarian Studies in Asia
4.4.1 Centenarian Studies in Japan
Centenarians in Japan consisted of number 4,152 persons. By prefecture, Tokyo had the most centenarians (383), followed by Okinawa (193) and Fukuoka (151) prefectures. Fukui had the least (24), followed by Akita (26) and Ishikawa (29) prefectures. The proportion of centenarians in Japan was 21.6 (per 100,000 populations) in 1990. By prefecture, the highest proportion lived in Okinawa (133.8), whereas the fewest were found in Akita (8.9) [129].
a. Tokyo Centenarian Study
b. Study of Okinawan Centenarians
c. Study of Centenarians in Nagoya City
4.4.2 Centenarian Studies in China
a. Study of Centenarians in Beijing
b. Study of Centenarians in Shanghai
4.5 Centenarian Studies in the Former Soviet Union
4.5.1 Centenarian Studies in Azerbaijan
Researchers from Azerbaijan have collected information on Azerbaijan centenarians: Chingiz Gasimov, Director of the Laboratory of Physiology and Longevity at the Physiological Institute, Ulduz Hashimov from the Institute of Physiology and Arif Abbasov, Director of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnology. These scientists look forward to continuing their studies and in doing joint research with international groups in the future as the study of longevity is a field ripe for contributions from many disciplines-biologists, anthropologists, psychologists, physiologists, demographers, ethnographers, and folklorists.
4.5.2 Centenarian Studies in Russia
Scientists from the Russian Institute of Public Health (Moscow), Dr. Victoria G. Semyonova and Galina N. Evdokushkina in collaboration with Dr. Leonid A.Gavrilov and Natalia S. Gavrilova (now in Chicago) have collected and computerized data on Russian nonagenarians and centenarians including information on their genealogies. Now they continue to collect these data in collaboration with the Historical and Genealogical Society in Moscow [62].

I called to talk about my situation and Tiffany answered after about 8 rings. She was not helpful. She voulntarily told me she has worked there for a month which makes me understand why she does not understand domestic violence. She definately should not be in charge of intake calls. Give the girl some training. People should be able to get away from a variety of abusive situations. She put me on hold and told me we only house people who are being abused, no questions about my storyand when I asked who she spoke with she would not provide me a name and hung up on me. I expected better from a place who has so much public funding. I suggest people to donate somewhere else.
I understand that it can be difficult when the current shelter has to run a wait list. That is why DAIS is working so hard right now to build a much bigger shelter. They do amazing work despite the limitations they face.
where do you tell a victim to go when they need shelter and you simply say sorry we have a waitlist. What do you think they are going to do? They are going to stay with the abuser because it's the only place they have...........
I am a survivor domestic violence.
I am a former employee of DAIS.
I am currently a supportive community member.
I have worked as an advocate and trainer in the area of intimate partner violence since 1992.
DAIS services are critical and necessary. The people touched by the work are forever changed. Until the violence stops, I hope DAIS is there to support those in need.
I am privileged to be a volunteer member of the DAIS committee for the annual fund raising "Celebrate Independence" luncheon. Economic times have created difficult situations for many, including victims of domestic violence. In the past year, DAIS has received 352 calls seeking information about shelter (144% increase), 293 new crisis response clients (49% increase) and 964 nights that people have been waitlisted for shelter from their abuser (1621% increase). In the past year, Dane County has experienced an increasing number of deaths resulting from domestic violence. This dismal picture is exacerbated by the fact that while demand has dramatically increased, retaining funding for important DAIS services has become much more challenging. DAIS is the only domestic violence agency supporting Dane County. Dane County has a projected 2009 population of 491,357. DAIS serves this population with a budget of just over $1 million and through a 25-bed safe-house residence. What they accomplish with minimal resources for the population base they serve is commendable – direct service to victims, community outreach and training for law enforcement, human services staff and other related professionals. In spite of their sterling reputation and the need for their services growing at astonishing rates, they unfortunately continue to have to direct a significant amount of staff resources to just maintaining their budget, let alone grow it to better need the pressing needs.
I am very honored to provide this small service(cleaning)to DAIS. Although I know that the staff has to meet challenging circumstances on a daily basis, they still manage to maintain a professional and positive attitude. This past year was particularly traumatic with several high-profile cases of domestic violence in Dane County including the murder of two mothers and their daughters. Although the staff was deeply affected, they continued to provide the support, information and comfort so needed by victims of domestic abuse. Yesterday there was an article in the local paper (Wisconsin State Journal)about the huge increase in the number of people seeking DAIS services. I know that even with its limited resources, DAIS will continue to try to meet that need with knowledge and compassion.
One of my daer friends is employed by DAIS and hearing her stories about clients and their experiences reminds me of the importance of such an organization.
Everyone deserves to reach their full potential. Everyone deserves a safe, loving home. That is why I volunteer. I want all the women who experiance violence to know that we, as a community, care for her and are there for her...we want her to reach her full potential-however she may describe it. DAIS provides the love, safety, and reality of "next step" planning for people to get into a safe, secure life pattern.
Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS) helps provide a safe place for many women while they find their independence. It is a great organization, with dedicated staff and volunteers who make the vision of the organization a reality. I have witnessed personally, through this dedication, the power of women helping women achieve their dreams.
This is an organization that does terrific work day in and day out, but is stressed from too much demand for its services. It is a place of safety, comfort, and new beginnings. I am proud to be on its board even though it means learning things about your community and humanity that you find personally challenging. Volunteering for and supporting DAIS is very rewarding, because they are making a difference and changing lives of victims and future generations.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was a supervisor and I left on good terms yet I have called multiple times tithe owner and he never answers or calls back. I also calls the accountant and she didn't know anything about it.
You should contact an attorney immediately. You're entitled not only to your wages, but also likely penalty wages which accrue on a per day basis. Additionally, these suits carry with them an award of attorney fees, so you're likely to find representation on a contingency fee basis with no out-of-pocket funds expended up front at all.

You sould retain a lawyer with wage collection experience as soon as possible. How the penalties are calculated can depend on how you handle the process. Also, having a lawyer will encourage your former employer to settle the matter quickly because attorneys' fees are recoverable by the employee if a suit is filed and a judgment is entered for the employee. Even if the employer prevails, it cannot typically recover its attorneys' fees. Thus the employer's potential liability increases the more it fignts; whereas the employee can typicaly retain a lawyer on a contingent fee basis and not have to worry about paying the employer's legal fees if the claim is unsuccessful. I do a lot of these cases and always prefer to be on the employee's side.Ask a similar question
There could be multiple claims here. Not enough facts given to determine. You could have a minimum wage claim, an overtime claim, and you have a late payment claim. When you were laid off, your wages were likely due the next business day. ORS 652.140. When the employer does not pay you wages timely, the law artificially continues your wages. You are due one full day's wage for each day they willfully fail to pay your wages. In addition, you can recover your costs and attorney fees. Some attorneys, like Schuck Law, take these cases on a contingency fee basis essentially being paid to win your case.

December 8 and December 15, 2013 at 3pm
THE STORY: A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator.
It's Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters—Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye—are not exactly in a festive mood. A cranky Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins. Twink, recently jilted and bitter about it, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town. And hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb's Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. But things are not looking too promising: Miss Geneva, the ousted director of the previous twenty-seven productions, is ruthless in her attempts to take over the show. The celebrity guest Santa Claus—played by Frankie's long-suffering husband, Dub—is passing a kidney stone. One of the shepherds refuses to watch over his flock by night without pulling his little red wagon behind him. And the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters' Pancake Supper. And when Frankie lets slip a family secret that has been carefully guarded for decades, all hope for a successful Christmas program seems lost, even with an Elvis impersonator at the manger. But in true Futrelle fashion, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget. Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!

Refreshing Vancouver's Density Debate
"An element of skepticism has entered the debate about the value of density. Given our urban trajectory over the past four decades, this is as startling as not liking snow on Grouse Mountain, or refusing an invitation to dim sum."
"What's worse, the grumbling is not coming from dwellers in downtown's condo forest who are about to lose their last remaining view to yet another tower, but from residents of long standing in some of our lowest density neighbourhoods, on both Eastside and Westside."
"EcoDensity is getting whacked as a mere developer's ploy, in part because of mischievous 11th hour add-ons to its draft policies, such as counselors Suzanne Anton's proposal to lift building height limits in Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside, permitting a calamitous march of towers through our most historic areas."
"Maybe Vancouver's pro-density urban ethos of the past few decades was too good to last."
"Almost monthly, I host architects and city planners from around the world on tours of our fast-changing city. My guests, especially the Americans, are amazed Vancouver has not seen more community resistance to our radical tests of how many people can live happily together on one city clock. My urbanist colleagues too often see their own residents (and opportunistic politicians) still advocating variations on suburbia - low-density, non-diverse, car-oriented neighbourhoods that waste land, energy and quality of life."

Grant Alan Show is an American actor best known for his roles in Melrose Place, Ryan's Hope, and several series in the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise.
Show was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in the Milpitas, California, area. He is a graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles and was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. During his time in college, he found acting. Show's first major role an an actor was on the daytime soap-opera Ryan's Hope. In the show, he portrayed Rick Hyde from 1984 to 1987. During his last year on the show, he received a Daytime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Young Man in a Daytime Drama Series". Also, during his time on the soap-opera, Show dated his costar Yasmine Bleeth. Show got a reputation as a teenage heartthrob, but he later became dissatisfied with acting in soap-operas and went to London, England, in order to improve his acting. Returning to the U.S. in the late 1980s, Show landed occasional roles in prime-time TV.
Show's TV appearances attracted the attention of producer Aaron Spelling, who felt he had potential and decided to cast him as Jake Hanson on a few episodes of the popular series Beverly Hills, 90210 in order to give the character leeway as the lead in his next series Melrose Place. Though there was much fanfare with the show's debut, the series' overall ratings in its first season were not up to expectations, and the show was revamped in the middle of the season from an episodic straight-laced drama format to a melodramatic soap-opera serial format. The series made Show one of the most popular and best-known actors on American television during the 1990s. He also portrayed Jake in a guest-star appearance in the pilot of the Melrose Place spin-off Models Inc., making him the only actor to play the same character on the first three shows of the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise. In 1997, Show and several other costars left Melrose Place, which led the show to experience a major decline in ratings. It was cancelled two years later, though Show later regretted his decision to leave, despite his dislike of the scripts during his final season.
He has since starred in a number of made-for-TV movies, including Blessed Assurance, Between Love and Honor, and Homeland Security. Show was also one of the lead stars in the short-lived FOX Network supernatural drama series Point Pleasant in 2005, made a guest-star appearance for three episodes in HBO's acclaimed series Six Feet Under in 2002, guest-starred on two episodes of the ABC Family show Beautiful People in 2006, and appeared in three episodes of the FX-produced show Dirt, in which he portrayed a closeted gay action movie hero, Jack Dawson. In 2008, Show starred in the short-lived CBS summer drama series Swingtown, portraying an airline pilot, Tom Decker. He was also featured in a recurring role in episodes of Private Practice. He recently starred in Accidentally on Purpose, his first sitcom series. In the 2010-2011 season, he appeared in the recurring role of Michael Sainte, the Goji Guru, on the HBO-produced series Big Love.
In his personal life, Show married model and actress Pollyanna Mcintosh in 2004. The couple met when they posed together for a Lane Bryant advertisement during the previous year. They were divorced in 2011. In July 2012, Show became engaged to actress Katherine LaNasa, and they married on August 18, 2012. They had a daughter, named Eloise McCue Show, on March 25, 2014.

Pieces of the Heart(2006)
A novel by Karen White
To escape the stress from her all-consuming job as an accountant, Caroline Collier joins her overbearing mother at the family's vacation home in the mountains of North Carolina. But the serene beauty of Lake Ophelia cannot heal Caroline's heart, which is still broken by the loss of her younger brother, who died when she was seventeen. And the tension between her and her mother still simmers. Only their neighbors, the husband and daughter of one of Caroline's childhood friends, seem able to penetrate her cool reserve, giving Caroline the courage to face her biggest fears-and dive headfirst into life.

Encouraged by figures from its inaugural outing, members of Experience Quad-Cities are looking ahead to the 2013 East West Riverfest.
Surveys taken after the 2012 edition, which took place Sept. 7-16, showed that 90 percent of the 80 organizations participating in the umbrella festival had increased attendance from the same period a year earlier.
-- Quad-City Arts reported that 350 people attended an opening in its gallery, far more than usual.
-- Riverfront Pops attendance for the Quad-City Symphony Orchestra show increased by 20 percent from 2011.
-- Numbers also were higher for Brew Ha Ha, the Celtic Highland Games and the St. Patrick Society's Quad-Cities Irish Festival.
-- At the Figge Art Museum, 1,229 people came through during that 10-day span. At the same time last year, the number was 553.
This year's East West Riverfest will expand to cover three weekends, from Sept. 6 to 22.
Although people from Chicago and Des Moines attended last year, officials said more promotion is needed outside the Quad-City area.
"We have a lot more to do to get that message across," said Lisa Lockheart of the Rock Island Public Library and a member of the advisory board.
Lockheart said the inaugural festival was "tangible proof of our collaboration" and its success.
At its fourth annual meeting Wednesday in Rock Island, members of Experience Quad-Cities heard from representatives of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, Illinois Arts Council and Arts Alliance Illinois.
The latter two announced that a biennial gathering, One State Together in the Arts Conference, will take place June 23-25 in the Illinois Quad-Cities.
More than 300 arts advocates from across the state will sample the culture of the Quad-Cities over those three days. A kickoff party will be held at the John Deere World Headquarters in Moline.
Mary Cownie, the executive director of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, praised the Experience Quad-Cities group and the East West Riverfest.
"It's a perfect example of how to come together," she said. "You challenged yourselves to think big, and look what's come of it."

scale3d() CSS function modifies the size of an element. Because the amount of scaling is defined by a vector, it can resize different dimensions at different scales.
This transformation is characterized by a vector whose coordinates define how much scaling is done in each direction. If all three coordinates of the vector are equal, the scaling is uniform, or isotropic, and the shape of the element is preserved. In that case, the scaling function defines a homothetic transformation.
When outside the
[-1, 1] range, the scaling enlarges the element in the direction of the coordinate; when inside the range, it shrinks the element in that direction. When equal to
1 it does nothing and when negative it performs a point reflection and the size modification.
scale3d(sx, sy, sz)
- sx
- Is a
<number>representing the abscissa of the scaling vector.

While having a conversation with my brother about low budget filmmaking, he asked me in all earnestness why, of all the genres someone with limited means could tackle, most filmmakers choose to go down the red road of horror and exploitation. It's a fair question, and one that I admittedly needed to ponder a minute or so in order to give him a satisfactory response. Ultimately, the explanation I cobbled together was that with horror, more so than any other genre, you could do the most with the least. A few buckets of fake blood, a single creepy location, some hard work and vision, and you can potentially make a crowd favorite with a fraction of the resources that the average Hollywood comic adaptation requires.Read more »

January 15, 2010
As a Jersey native, I have no problem with MTV's "Jersey Shore," despite protests from other Garden Staters who believe the show unfairly depicts summer boardwalk crawlers as over-tanned bubbleheads or muscle-headed morons who fight so often that Alain Vigneault is an honorary executive producer on the show.
This is because it's difficult for me to dismiss these creatures as reality show inventions when I basically went to high school with them.
But as a hockey fan ... please, ladies of "Jersey Shore," never attend another NHL game again. Ever. Not even Devils/Flyers, your natural habitat. It will only lead to more moments like this, as their sudden national fame leads an intrepid Fox Sports reporter to interact with Snooki and friends during last night's 4-0 Los Angeles Kings' win over the Anaheim Ducks.
Is it wrong that I stopped caring about Snooki when that Ziggy jersey walked by? Probably not. Who knew ancient announcer Bob Miller was a huge fan of the 'Jerz'?
Last month, we hoped celebrity eye-candy would start pouring back into Staples Center for Kings games now that the team is competitive again. Obviously, we were talking about real celebrities, like Heidi Montag. Guess JWoww will do. From Life In Hockeywood:
Three of the cast mates from the MTV series Jersey Shore made an appearance at the (Los Angeles Kings)/Ducks game, dripping in their full "Guidaness." Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Angelina "Jolie" Pivarnick took Staples by storm. Snooki, (the one in the middle) was the girl who got punched in the face by some random dude during an argument at some random bar on the show.
That they attended a game with no less than three fights must have felt like a warm blanket. Anyhoo, we thank the girls of "Jersey Shore" for apparently rolling solo, sparing us the sight of "The Situation" on the Jumbotron. Yuck.

How to Peel a tropical mango
Peeling some fruits can be quite a nuisance. And some fruits are even impossible to peel, hence the watermelon. Mangos are something of the sort, you dont really 'peel' them persay but more of an extraction. Mangos are quite delicious but peeling can sometimes come with a little trouble. This video tutorial will demonstrate exactly how to peel a tropical mango with a creative approach. This is a great way to peel and cut a mango especially if you are making a salad, some juice, or anything involving mangos. Enjoy!

by Samantha Debbie, Natural News:
A wave of mysterious deaths continues to plague practitioners in the field of holistic medicine, including chiropractors, herbalists and other alternative healers. Some of the deaths have been tied to research involving nagalase, an enzyme/protein made by cancer cells and viruses that cause immunodeficiency syndromes and autism.
Renowned autism specialist, Dr. James Jeffrey Bradstreet, was researching the enzyme prior to his death in July 2015. His body was discovered floating in a North Carolina river with a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Suspicions swirled that the doctor may have been killed as a result of his controversial research. Bradstreet and his colleagues had discovered that the immune system is being compromised by nagalase, which they suspected was being introduced through vaccines.
Dr. Bradstreet was working with a naturally occurring compound that may be the single most effective thing in the immune system for killing cancer cells
Nagalase interferes with an important protein in the body that kills cancer cells, explained Dr. Ted Broer in an interview on the Hagmann and Hagmann Report.
GcMAF (Globulin component Macrophage Activating Factor), which is the GC protein after it combines with vitamin D in the body, has the potential to be a universal cure for cancer.
It's also believed to be capable of treating and reversing autism, HIV, liver/kidney disease and diabetes.
"GC protein is a protein in the body that's used by macrophages in the body. What it does is, macrophages in the body are the ones that kill cancer cells, they stop cytokines storms and can be involved in cytokines storms, we'll explain all these terms in a few minutes," said Broer.
GcMAF and the death of cancer cells
"What ends up happening is when the GC protein cannot be converted to McGAF, the entire immune system is compromised."
GcMAF is "probably the single most effective thing in the immune system to kill cancer cells," he said.
Some of the doctors who wound up dead or missing believed that the nagalase protein/enzyme was being introduced intentionally into people's bodies, either virally or directly through vaccines.
"This is such incredibly damning information to the entire medical profession and the immunological profession and those folks that [sic] are producing immunizations, that apparently they didn't want these guys around," Dr. Broer said.
Nagalese blocks the GC protein from attaching itself to vitamin D, thus preventing the immune system from doing its job, and therefore causing cancer and other serious diseases. Without an active immune system, cancer and viral infections can spread rapidly.
Remarkably, there's a significant amount of research available on nagalase and the GcMAF protein. Citing a chapter from The GcMAF Book by Dr. Tim Smith, MD, Dr. Broer said:
"Nagalase is like a stealth bomber, the nagalase enzyme synthesized in or released from cancer cells or a virus particle pinpoints the GcMAF protein facilities on the surface of your T and B lymphocytes and simply wipes them out with an incredibly precise bomb.
"How precise? Nagalase locates and attacks one specific two-electron bond located only at the 420th amino acid position on a huge protein molecule, one of tens of thousands of proteins, each containing millions of electrons.
"This is like selectively taking out a park bench in a major city from 6,000 miles away. More astonishingly, if that is possible, nagalase never misses its target, so there is no collateral damage."

Swings offer many obvious physical benefits for developing children. They increase coordination, develop strength, improve balance, and have even been shown to help autistic children with sensory integration. However, what might not be as obvious are the social benefits that swinging offers. Although swinging can be enjoyed by a lone child, more often, children have to navigate complex social situations to get their turn on the swing. During these situations, children learn how to negotiate, compete within safe boundaries, and cooperate with others.
The playground is a place where children are constantly practicing negotiation skills, because it is often a place where there are fewer resources than there are children. If there is just one swing, but multiple swingers, then children have to learn how to take turns and share resources.
You may be surprised by the creative negotiation skills some young children develop. They learn to divide the territory of the playground, to work together on elements that are traditionally meant for a sole user, and to develop complex 'timing' systems to limit turns. One of the best things that an adult supervisor can do to help encourage creative negotiation skills is to let the children sort it out themselves. Try not to step in and offer solutions unless it is absolutely necessary.
Children naturally compete at many things, and swinging is no exception. They will want to see who can swing higher and who can jump further. While this might set your heart racing, your children are actually learning how to integrate their boundaries into competition. They are learning how far they feel comfortable pushing themselves to meet the expectations of their peers while remaining physically and emotionally safe. These lessons in boundaries can be useful years later, when your teen begins to experience peer pressure.
Children not only push each other on swings, but they come up with creative ways to twist the swings or swing in positions that they would not be able to alone. This teaches your children the benefits of cooperation and also teaches them how to communicate their creative ideas to their peers.
As you can see, swinging (and playing at a playground in general) is much more than a solitary experience. Whether you have multiple children or a single child, it is important to give them time playing on various structures alongside their peers. You can either install a swing set from Kids Gotta Play in your yard and let your child invite some friends over for creative play, or head out to the park a little more often.

By guest blogger Emily Trostle
I've never been one to get excited over hot dogs and hamburgers, but there's one place I'll travel the distance to when I need to get my fix: Dilly's Corner, on River Road in New Hope, is the place for burgers, hot dogs, ice cream and an overall good time.
Celebrating 25 years, Dilly's Corner is always buzzing. Porsches, Harleys and SUVs all cram into the tight parking lot to experience this delightful blink-and-you-miss-it restaurant. There's a covered patio with tables so you can sit out of the sun or avoid bad weather. For nice days, there are wooden tables placed around the parking lot.
For my spread, I got the Dilly Cheeseburger, Dilly Dog, a vanilla milkshake, and curly fries. The cheeseburger is a 1/3 of a pound patty, yellow American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayonnaise. The awesomeness of this burger lies in its simplicity. It doesn't sound too different from anything you might make at home, but the cheese is perfectly melted, the lettuce is crisp, the tomato ripe, and the onions flavorful but not overpowering. The burger is cooked just slightly pink in the center and is superbly juicy.
Then there's the Dilly Dog. Topped with peppers, onions and French fries, this quarter pound hot dog is served on a toasted torpedo roll. I topped it off with a healthy serving of relish – because if I'm going to have a hot dog, it's got to be the messiest hot dog for miles. (I admit I had to surrender to my plastic fork for the first leg of this adventure.) The fact that Dilly's toasts the Dilly Dog's bun is what really made it for me. Like I've said, I like my hot dogs messy. This usually leads to soggy buns that won't support my hot dog toppings. The toasted torpedo roll manages to hold all those peppers, onions, fries and any additional toppings without fail.
Dilly's is popular for its ice cream, as well. While I would have liked to have gone all out and gotten a sundae to top off my meal, I couldn't justify it after the burger and hot dog. BUT since a milk shake is made with milk, and milk is good for you, well, a milkshake would be a good thing.
I've had my fair share of milkshakes, but there's just something about one from Dilly's that raises the bar. It's more like really thick, creamy milk than watered down ice cream. It's not so thick that you can't drink it through a straw and for some reason it's not so cold that it gives you a brain freeze.
If I could come up with a theme for Dilly's it would be "keep it simple, but do it well." I have yet to try their salads or veggie burgers, but I'll bet they're just as good as the burgers and dogs.
If you crave a good burger and milkshake and don't want to deal with diners or sit-down restaurants, Dilly's Corner is ideal. Or, if the entire family wants ice cream, pack them up and take the scenic drive. The grill is open most nights until 9, and ice cream is served until 9:30.

We have been going to Dillys for years. Always great. However, this year the food ESP the burgers were not pleasant. Not tasty and dry. Not the usual grilled taste. The regular burger is do thin. The fries way over cooked n therefore hard. Unknown of there is a new owner or chef. But it had been great before now. Hoping it gets good agaim

If you've been laid off and need extra money, there's never been a better way to get it than by blogging. Besides, starting a successful blog is something you can keep going for many years as a nice second source of income.
A blogger improves his or her writing skills and learns internet marketing and search engine optimization. Besides becoming a published author, the blogger also learns marketing research and how to run a successful small business.
Getting Started with Blogs
The great thing about a blog is how easy it is to get started with one. There are many easy tools available that can help you begin, even if you have little technical skills. Look over all of the choices, but WordPress is one you will definitely want to consider. Blogger, Google's blog product is another one, but I don't think it's as good as WordPress. WordPress is easy to learn and provides many options for customization.
You are going to need to invest a small amount of cash upfront. Although most blogging software is free, you need to choose a domain to host your blog. The easiest, and cheapest one to work with, is GoDaddy. Plus, you'll get to enjoy the GoDaddy girl commercials more during the Super Bowl when you tell your friends that you are one of their customers. Purchasing a URL will cost you less than $ 10 per year.
The second thing you will need is a hosting company. GoDaddy can provide you with this as well if you want to keep it simpler, but there are probably better options. Blue Host, for example, has an easy-to-use hosting interface and will allow you to host up to 50 URL's on it. Blue Host will cost you a little over $ 100 per year, but in a minute, I'll tell you how to get it for even cheaper.
Why is this important? Later in the article, I'll talk about search engine optimization. You need to obtain rankings in Google and Yahoo to get found. If you don't host the blog yourself and have your own URL, all you will be doing is generating inbound links for WordPress! They already have enough inbound links (2.8 million according to Yahoo); get the links for yourself.
Content is King
It seems silly, but the most important aspect of blogging is blogging about something that you are interested in and have a passion for. That may be college cheerleaders, college fantasy football, reading Shakespeare, text messages, lusting after Rihanna, playing online bingo, or even drinking beer. If you aren't writing about something you are interested in, you simply won't do it for very long.
When it comes to blogs, you need to get found. And, new and unique content will get you found by the search engines. It's important that you update every day. The more often that you update your blog, the more often that the Google and Yahoo search engine spiders will come back to visit your blog.
It's best to update your blog every day. If you can't update every day, try partnering with another student to help you. You want to train your visitors to come back and come back often.
Be controversial and opinionated. It works for talk radio and it will work for your blog. You won't get mentioned in mainstream media if you are like everybody else. Writing something controversial will also get your readers commenting on your posts and you want your readers involved.
If you're not sure what to write about, check out Google Trends. Google Trends will give you the latest top searches that are the minds of its users. Getting listed for the hot topic of the day in Google News will bring visitors to your site.
When you are totally out of ideas, try finding an article about your topic on an article marketing site like Articles Base or eZine Articles. Don't rely on these, as you need original content to keep people interested, but they are fine for filling in the gaps when you don't have time to write like during Finals Week or during your fraternity pledge week.

The Northern Pole of Cold is considered to be situated in Oymiacon settlement, to be more precise in the settlement's airport that stays 40 km from Oymiacon and 4 km from Tomtor village. The official measurements started in Oymiacon airport in the late 1920-s. The coldest unofficial records were registered in 1923 (-720C) and in 1916 (-820C).
The official records fixed the lowest temperature at -67.70C in 1933. There is another very cold place in Yakutia that disputes the Pole of Cold title with Oymiacon, and that is Verkhoyansk, where the official measurements began in the 19-th century and the official lowest temperature was -67.80C in 1892. But Verkhoyansk is second to Oymiacon in the average annual temperatures.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival to Moscow. Meeting at the airport, accommodation in a hotel (3*+). At your request we can show you the best Moscow's places of interest (The Tretyakov gallery, The Pushkin museum, St.Basil's cathedral, The Museums of Moscow Kremlin, and many others, we take into consideration your wishes and time). Treat you in Moscow restaurants.
Day 2: A flight to Yakutsk. It's a 6-7-hour flight. The flight might have a short stop in Novosibirsk (for some people who don't like long flies it's easier to fly with a stop).
Day 3: We meet you early in the morning at Yakutsk airport. You have rest in a hotel (3*+), then we can show you the local sights: mammoths, diamonds and permafrost in city's museums (optional). Lunch. Then we go 430 km to Khandyga. Depending on the season it might be a car trip by Kolyma road or a flight. A car trip takes from 6 hours in winter to 12 hours in summer because of the two big rivers we have to cross in a ferry: Lena and Aldan.
On the way we visit historical and ethnic Yakut museums (optional). In summer the road is very picturesque. (In winter it's very dark and nothing is seen out of a car's window). A flight takes only 1hour 20 min or less depending on the type of a plane. Arrival to Khandyga – the administrative center of Tomponsky region, Accommodation in a bed & meals hotel. Supper.
Day 4: Early breakfast, then we go 500 km from Khandyga to Oymiacon, or, to be more precise, to Tomtor. Our route goes over the summits of Verkhoyansk Range by Kolyma road – the infamous "road of bones", built by GULAG prisoners in 1930-s – 1950-s. A stop at Shaman brook (non-freezing underground spring with potable water 130 km from Khandyga). Late arrival to Tomtor. Accommodation in a hotel (B&B, private house), 3 persons in a room. Supper. The conveniences are outside (there's no canalization in the village). This is real extreme!
Day 5: Breakfast, excursion to Oymiakon, alhyys ritual (feeding the spirit of fire on special occasions), short folklore program, lunch.
Horse farm excursion. First-hand view of the life of the horse-breeders and Yakut horse habitat. Sauna. Dinner. Night at the same hotel.
Day 6: Breakfast, trip to ice fishing and snowmobile riding. Lunch and dinner. Night stay at the hotel.
Day 7: Breakfast. Early departure for Khandyga. Visiting the Yuchugay village (100 km from Oymiakon) – the place where the deer-breeders live. First-hand view of their life and culture. Deer-sleigh driving first in a pack, then in separate two-deer sleighs. Lunch (national cuisine). Return to Khandyga. Supper. Night in a hotel (WC and all modern conveniences at last!).
Day 8: Trip back to Yakutsk. If a plane schedule coincides with our itinerary, you can go from Khandyga to Yakutsk by plane. Another way to get to Yakutsk is by Aldan and Lena rivers (only in summer) by a hydrofoil (but its schedule is very irregular). A flight to Moscow, transfer to your home flight.
