Powered by the Best Service Engine 2 and available for download, Voyager Drums is a virtual instrument providing two different Yamaha drum kits—a Maple Custom and a Recording Custom (both instruments featuring Paiste cymbals)—as well as a library of MIDI grooves. Each drum kit allows you three different timbres based on the microphone positioning at the time of sampling: direct delivers a close-mic sound, while overhead provides a combination of the direct signal and the overheads; the full kit setting combines overhead signal, direct audio, and room mics for additional ambiance.
Recorded at 24-bit/96 kHz on gear provided by SPL, API, Apogee, Neumann, Sennheiser, and other notable pro-audio companies, Voyager Drums provides 16 velocity layers and five round robins (multiple samples per note to avoid the synthetic repetitive hits of multiple drum-strikes). Furthermore, each microphone position sports individual controls such as volume, panning, attack, and decay. This virtual instrument includes the Best Service Engine 2, and is compatible with Windows and Mac platforms. It can operate within standalone, VST, and AU formats.

Fees/Insurance Coverage
Dr. Burkhart is aware of the costs of treatment and focuses on keeping costs as low as possible for her patients. Any expense for testing and therapies will be discussed together with her patients prior to administration. She does not participate with any insurance plans and does not bill insurance directly but will gladly provide you with a completed form to send to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many insurance companies will provide at least partial reimbursement for the consultation and full coverage for any laboratory testing. Please check with your insurance provider to verify details.
The initial consultation fee includes the 2 hour appt. and the time Dr. Burkhart spends on pre-appointment research and preparation. Since many of her patients have complicated medical histories, Dr. Burkhart likes to review all cases ahead of time. Please submit your health questionnaire via fax: (707) 927-5747 or mail: 1100 Lincoln Ave. Suite 200, Napa, CA 94558 at least one week ahead of your appointment date. You may also drop it by the office at any time. There is a locked drop box outside our door. Due to health privacy rules she is unable to receive questionnaires via email. If questionnaires are not received prior to the initial appointment we will ask that you reschedule the appointment. The initial health questionnaire is very comprehensive. Submitting it ahead of your appointment date allows more time to discuss your unique situation with Dr. Burkhart during the actual visit. The questionnaire is located on the home page under "New Patient Forms".
Please remember this is a consult service, and that it is imperative for you to continue your treatment with a primary care physician for routine care and emergencies.
Telephone Appointments
Dr. Burkhart is happy to conduct follow-up telephone appointments if you have seen her in person for an initial visit. The telephone appointments are charged at the same rate as an office visit.
Please call the office at (707) 927-5622 for fees, which are based on your needs.
Cancellations or Missed Appointments: If you are unable to make your appointment, we ask that you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Amy Burkhart for several years. I suffer from Crohn's disease and was having difficulty in my daily life. After visiting many doctors, all of whom were unable to help me, Dr. Burkhart took the time and patience to create a plan which brought me back to health. I still follow her plan to this day and have been living a normal healthy life. Dr. Burkhart listened to my symptoms along with listening to me, she took her time in preparing a plan which led me to the road for recovery. I cannot thank Dr. Burkhart enough, and I would recommend her to anyone."

American Flags in Monkton.
Made in the USA!
Just how did the American flag become what it is today?
Folding up the American flag.
The United States flag is a solid sign of American identification and nationwide pride. Likewise called Old Glory, the United States flag has a vibrant background and also has undertaken many changes starting from the very first official flag of 1777.
Today the flag is composed of thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with six white stripes. The shades of the flag are symbolic as well: red signifies hardiness and valor, white symbolizes pureness as well as innocence and blue represents vigilance, determination as well as justice.
Over time, some have actually connected a little different meanings to the three shades, for instance, the shade red signifying the bloodshed spilled to protect our liberty, yet the essence of the original significance has actually been relatively constant since 1782.
Exactly how did the American flag become just what it is today?
It is so much more than the 3 shades or a "design". Consider the places around the globe that the American flag has actually flown, think of the change it has actually undergone throughout the years on American soil. It is really humbling to think about all that was given and also compromised so that the American flag could fly freely throughout this nation.
The flag that started with just 13 stars grew to 50 with the addition of new states to the Union. The number of stars on the flag slowly rose to its present number today where a brand-new star would be included in the blue area on the 4th of July after the date of each new state's admission.
The variety of rotating straight red as well as white stripes has continued to be at thirteen except from 1795 to 1818 when fifteen stripes showed up on the flag to note the admission of Kentucky and Vermont to the Union. In 1818, it was determined that including a stripe to the flag for each and every brand-new state would no longer occur as it will make the flag look crowded and also it would make the flag unwieldy. It was agreed then that the flag would go back to having just thirteen stripes to stand for the initial colonies.
The American flag is a sign not only of hardiness, valor, purity, innocence, vigilance, determination and also justice; it is a symbol of liberty. Freedom that has actually been battled so hard for over the years. Freedom that has actually cost this country and also the families within so much, but it is still a sign to those desiring they had the liberty that the country has.
Folding the American flag.
Traditional flag etiquette prescribes that prior to an American flag is kept or flown, its handlers ought to twice fold it in half lengthwise; then (from the other end opposite heaven field) make a triangular fold, remaining to fold it in triangles until the other end is reached. This makes a triangular "pillow" of the flag with only heaven starred area showing on the outside, and also it takes thirteen folds to create: two lengthwise folds as well as eleven triangular ones.
The flag isn't folded up in this manner since each of the folds has a unique symbolic significance; the flag is folded in this manner due to the fact that it supplies a sensible ritualistic touch that differentiates folding a flag from folding a common object such as a blanket, and also because it results a visually pleasing, easy-to-handle shape. This thirteen-fold procedure was an usual practice long before the production of a ceremonial assignation of "implying" to each of the actions.
A sophisticated flag folding ceremony incorporating these significances has actually since been created for special occasions such as Memorial Day as well as Veterans Day. These connections are "real" in the feeling that they mean something to the people that participate in the event, yet they are not the reason a flag is folded up in the typical thirteen-step fashion.
This is America and also its icon is the American Flag. This respectable sign has been shot at, burned, spew on and stepped on, but she rises again and again. Despite the fact that many Americans in Vermont happily fly the flag outside their homes and businesses each day, it is fitting that we, as a country, have reserved one specific day annually to honor our flag as well as to bear in mind that it stands for the ideals and also values that we should make every effort to uphold. May God honor America and also those that protect her.

Story by
"All we ask is that each provider charge the least they can, to make this part of the equine rescue process as affordable as possible," says Nash. "That's the key to saving lives."
Fleet of Angels is in the running for the Equine Industry Vision Award, which is given by the American Horse Publications organization. The award is given annually in recognition of outstanding leadership, creativity and meritorious contribution toward positive changes in the equine industry.
Past recipients include industry notables such as Olympic equestrian gold medal winner David O'Connor, Intercollegiate Horse Show Association founder Robert Cacchione, and the past director of the Mustang Heritage Foundation, Patti Colbert.
Fleet of Angels was nominated by Dr Ann Marini, a scientist whose research into potential horse-meat toxicity arising from drug residues is widely known.
"We have several thousand members, but I want 100,000," Nash told Horsetalk.
"If we can get to the point where there's a transporter within 25 miles of every at-risk horse, we can increase our current success rate even more," she says.
Nash spends most of her time working to help horses, including over weekends and holidays…(CONTINUED)

World news story
New British Ambassador arrives in Madrid
Simon Manley CMG, a member of the UK's Diplomatic Service since 1990, today (Monday 28 October) succeeds Giles Paxman as Her Majesty's Ambassador to Spain and non-resident Ambassador to Andorra
On his arrival, Simon Manley, the new Ambassador, said:
I am delighted to be here in Spain and look forward to strengthening our broad and deep bilateral relationship. Spain is a key ally within the European Union and NATO and is one of our most important trading partners.
Creating sustainable growth is a priority for both the UK and Spain. I'm delighted that some 400 Spanish companies are registered in the UK and investors such as Santander, Telefónica, Iberdrola and Ferrovial have made Spain our sixth largest inward investor, totalling 40 billion pounds of Foreign Direct Investment stock at the end of 2011.
Meanwhile, British companies exported 14.2 billion pounds (16.6 billion euros) of goods and service to Spain, making it the UK's eighth largest export market.
Mr Manley said he was looking forward to meeting and working with companies in both Spain and the UK, whether established investors or new entrants keen to secure a foothold in their respective markets.
I am excited by the prospects for cooperation and growth in sectors like energy, car manufacturing and life sciences that are so important for future growth.
Liberalising trade both within the European Union and beyond it is a vital enabler to create jobs and growth. As two open economies with strong Atlantic ties, the UK and Spain share a common commitment to secure an ambitious trade agreement between the EU and the US and to ensure that the EU is at the forefront of moves to free up world trade.
Mr Manley also highlighted the importance of British citizens in Spain.
More than 13 million Britons visit Spain every year, generating 1 per cent of Spain's GDP. Some 800,000 have made Spain their home permanently or for part of the year, and the UK remains the largest foreign investor in Spain's property market. I'm impressed by how the British Consulates across Spain work with Spanish partners to do an excellent job of assisting British nationals.

In Iran, the Political Mulhas have explicitly "banned from discussion in the media" when it comes to specific topics, including Iran's economic troubles, foreign policy controversies, social taboos, and the unrest among Iran's Azeri, among other things.
Here in the U.S., the Energy Mullahs are doing the same thing.
Like the tobacco industry in previous years, the natural gas industry is trying to stop public discussion of the established health risks associated with its ambitious plans to place highly charged explosives deep under the ground and extract a portion of the resulting explosion's emissions for profit.
Shell's drilling Jihad committee this week initiated an unprecedented "pre-emptive lawsuit" against several well-established US environmental organizations (Sierra Club, etc.), which would prohibit, in advance, FUTURE INJUNCTIONS regarding the environmental hazards of Shell's not-yet-even submitted new plans for off-shore oil drilling in the Alaskan Arctic.
Think about that in common terms: I better sue my neighbor, Tom, today — I'm having a party next week and he's sure to complain about the music. I'll get a court order TODAY, preventing him in advance of even complaining!
The industry's intention to stop public discussion of health risks is being buttressed by certain high-profile politicians, including Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett — whose state is at the center of a rush to 'fracking' development of it's considerable natural gas reserves. In February, Corbett signed into law a new amendment to Title 52 (Oil and Gas) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. The following is a summary of the law, as provided by Star Telegraph:
- Gas Companies don't have to reveal how the chemicals and gases used in fracking interact with the natural compounds surrounding their subterranean drilling and explosions.
- Companies do not have to release chemical information to physicians and health care professionals. If they do, the new law:
- forbids doctors from warning the community of water and air pollution that may be caused by fracking.
- forbids doctors from telling their own patients what the physician believes may have led to their health problems.
- forbids doctors from sharing with a medical specialist information about the chemicals or compounds, thus delaying medical treatment.
The clauses are buried on pages 98 and 99 of the 174-page bill, which was initiated and passed by the Republican-controlled General Assembly and signed into law in February by Corbett.
"I have never seen anything like this in my 37 years of practice," says Dr. Helen Podgainy, a pediatrician from Coraopolis, Pa. The new law, she says, not only "hinders preventative measures for our patients, it slows the treatment process by gagging free discussion."
Below is a graph of the chemicals used in fracking that are associated with health risks, as provided by the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
(Author's note: This graph expresses established health risk from fracking-related chemicals; this does not include the greenhouse-gas implications on climate change, also inherent in fracking.)
These are the chemicals — known carcinogens, neurological toxins and endocrine disruptors among them — which Governor Corbett would rather hide from Pennsylvanians in the service of promoting the natural gas industry.
Dr. Jerome Paulson, director of the Mid-Atlantic Center for Children's Health and the Environment at the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., called the new law "unprecedented" and "detrimental to the delivery of personal health care and contradictory to the ethical principles of medicine and public health."
Physicians, says Paulson, "have a moral and ethical responsibility to protect the health of the public, and this law precludes us from doing all we can to protect the public." He has called for a moratorium on all drilling until the health effects can be analyzed.
Got an unusual form of lung cancer, dude? Hair falling out, Madame? (This happens — google: "Dimock, Pennsylvania," for starters. ) What's that — the children at school are getting sick? And did you mention that the school gets it's drinking water from a well near a new mining site?
Don't bother asking the doctor, he isn't allowed discuss.
— by order of the Mullah… I mean, Governor.

If, as seems increasingly likely, the play-offs represent Sheffield United's most realistic route into the Championship next term, then the ability to perform under pressure will define their campaign.
So last night, against a Colchester side embroiled in a battle for survival rather than promotion, Nigel Clough's side passed a potentially significant test of character.
Goals from Jose Baxter (two), Matt Done and Jay McEveley saw United climb to sixth in the table after a fluent and, when required, gutsy display against lowly but spirited opposition.
True, this result will not set pulses racing or send shockwaves rippling through the rest of the division. But, given the circumstances and the manner in which it was achieved, Clough could be forgiven for regarding it as being among the most satisfying of his reign.
Barracked, bruised and lampooned after losing at Gillingham three days earlier, United prepared for the visit of Colchester with their backs pinned firmly to the wall.
The weight of expectation upon their shoulders was a burden at times. But, for the most part, the pre-season title favourites went about their business with a verve and freedom of expression which bodes well for the mental and physical challenges which could lie ahead.
Done, a transfer deadline day signing from Rochdale, impressed on his debut.
Showcasing the pace and persistence which persuaded Clough to invest a sizeable chunk of United's recruitment budget in his talents, he capped an impressive debut by doubling their lead in stylish fashion after Baxter's instinctive opener.
Jay McEveley extended their advantage with a long-range effort after the interval before Sammie Szmodic provided Colchester with a lifeline which Baxter quickly snatched away when Paul Coutts was felled in the penalty area.
It was the first time United have scored more than three goals at home since November 2012.
Clough and Tony Hume, his counterpart across the technical area, know first hand that football is seldom a straightforward business. The United manager entered this match boasting a 50 per cent win ratio but confronted by claims he favours a negative approach. Accusations as unfathomable as the fact a squad capable of beating West Ham, QPR and Southampton can find League One such a grind.
Hume has also had to placate restless fans in recent weeks although his troubles stem from a miserable home record. Colchester have won more matches on their travels than at the Weston Homes Community Stadium since August and, true to form, they showed flashes of resistance until Baxter's 79th minute penalty sealed the game.
A no-nonsense defender during his own playing days, Hume will not have appreciated the lax marking which allowed Baxter to edge United in front during the early skirmishes. But despite their perilous predicament, Colchester still possess plenty of fighting spirit with Iain Turner making two important interventions before Clough's players seized control.
The demands of a fixture schedule which sees United play six times in the next 21 days has prompted Clough to make wholesale changes to his starting XI in recent weeks. Seven of those who featured at Priestfield Stadium were called upon again with Done, Michael Doyle and Jamal Campbell-Ryce also deployed.
Turner, a late replacement for Mark Howard who injured his back in the warm-up, has proved himself to be a more than capable deputy in recent months. Indeed, less than 60 seconds had past when the former Scotland international produced an excellent reaction save to deny Sammie Szmodics at the near post.
Seven minutes later, United took the lead when Baxter, scoring for the first time since December, prodded home from a set-piece created by John Brayford's persistence along the flank.
Only Alex Wynter's skull prevented Done from doubling their advantage soon after when he attempted an acrobatic overhead kick but Tom Lapslie served notice that Colchester still posed a threat by firing an angled drive over Turner's crossbar.
United, patient in possession and always probing, responded when Brayford again slipped his marker's clutches before failing to find Done with a short, prodded pass.
But the move, instigated by Doyle and the quietly impressive Coutts in midfield, confirmed that intelligence allied with industry held the key to this game. And perhaps a shade of good fortune too.
Two slips from Campbell-Ryce presented Colchester with the opportunity to launch a counter-attack midway through the opening period which ended with Porter drawing another smart save from United's stand-in keeper.
Porter, who made nearly 120 appearances for the hosts before moving to Essex last month, clearly had the bit between his teeth.
Then, seven minutes before the interval, a move of supreme simplicity and beauty saw United double their lead.
Jamie Murphy hooked the ball to Bob Harris who swept an inch perfect cross-field pass towards Done.
The transfer deadline day signing from Rochdale cut inside, steadied himself and assessed the options at his disposal before placing an unstoppable finish into the bottom corner of Sam Walker's net.
McEveley powered home from long-range on the hour after combining with Coutts.
Szmodics pounced in the 70th minute before Baxter claimed his second of the evening following Matt Briggs' trip on Coutts.
SHEFFIELD UNITED: Turner 7, Harris 7, Brayford 7, Basham 7, Doyle 7, Murphy 7 (Adams 83), Baxter 8, Done 8 (McNulty 67), Coutts 8, McEveley 7, Campbell-Ryce 7 (Holt 61). Not used: Davies, Reed, Turner, Kennedy.
COLCHESTER UNITED: Walker 6, Wynter 6, Gordon 6 (Sembie-Ferris 53, 6), Briggs 6, Eastman 6, Clohessy 6, Massey 6, Szmodics 7, Lapslie 6, Fox 6, Porter 7. Not used: Watt, Marriott, Lewington, Vincent-Young, Bonne.
REFEREE: Christopher Sarginson (Staffordshire), 6
GOALS: Baxter (8, 79), Done (38), McEveley (60), Szmodics (70).
CAUTIONS: None
RED CARDS: None
PLAYER-WATCH: Matt Done caught the eye on his debut but Paul Coutts, the former Derby County midfielder, looks a particularly astute purchase by Nigel Clough. Strong in the tackle and composed on the ball.
VIEWPOINT: Sheffield United entered this match under huge pressure. But they passed their latest test of character with flying colours.

If you are a child of the 70's, you very likely had a kitchen with colors like this:
(used from the Charming Zebra website found HERE)
OR this:
(found at THIS website)
Or, as "Miss Charming" from the Charming Zebra site says, "There was a time when everyone had either brown, orange or harvest gold appliances. They were very stylish at the time--not so much now."
We had harvest gold, but LOTS of decor in orange & brown. I'd forgotten that til I read Miss Charming's comment. I think I might be a bit nauseous now.
I thought we had moved past all these colors until a few years ago when I was at a Pampered Chef Leadership conference (back when I was a director, before I stopped being a consultant and then started again). They showed us this new "fun color cutlery line." FUN color. FUN???? See for yourself:
It is NOT a fun color, in my most humble opinion, however it IS a very sharp knife (and you can order one from me if you'd like!). I have scars to prove how sharp it is. I have a former host of PC shows who can also tell you how sharp it is. The first time I did a show at her house I caught my oven mitt on fire. The next time I sliced my finger open. She had to leave the room so she didn't see it while a former Army Medic, who happened to be at the show, bandaged me and I told someone how to make dessert! Clearly, there is NOTHING fun involved with something this color.
Now, the next decade brought different shades. If you survived the 80's, you know the colors I'm about to mention. Country blue and.....everyone say it in unison...mauve! I'm pretty sure I had 2 mauve bridesmaid dresses. My wedding also had shades of blue & a rosy pink that were similar to country blue & mauve, but brighter. The country shades were just a tad to grey for me. And those of us who were children in the 70's and grew into young adulthood in the 80's vowed we would NEVER have harvest gold or avocado green (or brown with orange for that matter) in our homes.
Most of us who married and had kids in the 80's & 90's now have kids moving into adulthood or already there. What I want to know is this: Do kids of the 80's & 90's detest country blue and mauve as much as we detested harvest gold (not just any gold, of course) and avocado green? And did our parents vow to never use turquoise or pale pink in their homes?
I stumbled onto this fantastic website with all kinds of color schemes called Color Schemer (click on it to get there). When I searched for 40's colors this page came up. I kind of like the colors there. By the way, what a cool site for anyone wanting to see colors put together for home decor, quilting, stamping, scrapbooking, or even cake decorating.
What colors do you think will be the "harvest gold" or "mauve" of the future? I guess only time will tell.

A study by psychologist Johnathan Cheek of Wellesley College suggests there are four different types of introvert, although many people fall into a combination of all four. Cheek's findings show that introversion is so much more than preferring to be alone over being in a group. While introverts are more likely to turn inward rather than outward, they're much more complex than the anti-social or socially awkward person that society typically associates with the personality. There's no one-sized-fits-all definition of introversion. Most people that fit in this category are actually a mix of four different kinds. Check out the four types below and see which one you relate to.
Here are the four types of introverts:
Social introverts prefer being in small groups, and LOVE their alone time. They strongly dislike socializing in large groups and avoid socialization with strangers at all cost. This form of introversion is closest to what many typically think of when it comes to introverts. But don't get it wrong — social introverts are not necessarily shy. They would just prefer to socialize in intimate settings.
You're a deep thinker so you may find yourself getting lost in your thoughts, giving an outward appearance that you want to be alone. There's basically an imaginary "do not disturb" sign hung around your neck. You don't necessarily share an aversion to social events like introverts usually do but rather just give off that appearance to people around you. Thinking introverts often find themselves totally zoned out in social situations.
If you're an anxious introvert you likely have a desire to socialize but are uncertain of your social skills, so you isolate yourself because it's easier than taking a risk. This anxiety might not fade even once you've secluded yourself. Alone with your thoughts you're likely to go through every situations in your head of how things could go or went wrong.
Like mac-n-cheese in the microwave, you take a while to get heated up. You can't just jump out of bed in the morning and immediately be outgoing. You think before you speak and act and take time to become outwardly social or warm up to people. You are reserved. This however doesn't mean you don't enjoy socializing. You are down to socialize, but are probably not going to be the one starting up the conversation. Don't worry though — there are enough people in the world who love to talk first.

If you really want to live the single life to its fullest, you need to know how to get sexy women in bed. Knowing the art of how to get sexy women in bed is actually a lot easier than most are willing to give credit—as long as you have the right attitude, and are open to improvisation, then nothing can go wrong! Learn how to get sexy women in bed today!
- Clean up. You wouldn't want to go near a chick with legs like the Black Forest and a moustache that rivals Tom Sellick's, so why should she want to go home with your unwashed, greasy self? Be sure to keep yourself well groomed at all times, including trimming your beard and, if it needs to be done, trimming your, ahem, boys. Honestly, practicing good hygiene and keeping yourself presentable is one of the easiest ways to get sexy women in bed—all it takes is a few minutes every morning to get into the right habit.
- Be confident, but not cocky. Why do girls always like jerks? It's not some masochistic characteristic—they're just attracted to confidence. Tragically, most girls are prone to looking at cockiness and thinking it to be confidence, because every other guy in the bar is putting her on a pedestal. Find a way to be the happy medium between the two—have faith in yourself and your abilities, but don't deify the poor lady.
- Tease her, but not too much. This step on how to get sexy women in bed goes hand in hand with the previous suggestion. If you want her hanging off every word you say, you need to show her that you're not afraid to poke fun at her. Do so lightly, and not enough to make her feel seriously offended. If it all works out correctly, she'll spend the rest of the evening trying to prove everything you say to be wrong which, trust us, will work out very well for you in the end.
- Have fun, even if without her. No girl wants to go home with the guy who's clinging on her the entire night. Pay attention to her, but don't go studying her every move. Show her that you have a life outside of her by enjoying your friends' company and allowing her to do the same. If you want to know how to get sexy women in bed, remember this—everyone wants the one thing they cannot have. Be that thing for her.
One of the best parts of being a guy nowadays is knowing how to get sexy women in bed. There are plenty of hot single ladies out there, and the possibilities within your city are literally endless. By knowing how to pick from the hotties around you and knowing how to get sexy women in bed, you're ensuring that there is no such thing as time wasted at the bar or club.

Babs Smooches Bush!
Neither the White House nor Barbra Streisand were much inclined to release a proper photo of the beloved entertainer kissing beloved soon-to-be-former president Bush at the Kennedy Center Honors yesterday, so America will have to make due with these scattered pictures of the smiles they left behind. [Update: You can no cllick to watch the video!] The singer's name itself has long been shorthand for everything wrong and out-of-touch about Hollywood Liberals, while Bush is, as we all know, like Hitler but worse. How much worse? Oh, it's all too painful to remember. Good thing we can just look up some of her best anti-Bush statements on the Google and present them to you, below.
- Way back in early 2001, Barbra asked of our great new President, "how could such a destructive man be so popular with the American people?" It's funny because her knee-jerk liberal nonsense was prescient! "Not only is he poisoning our air and water, she added, "he's poisoning our political system as well."
- In 2002, she called President Bush, Vice President Cheney and John Ashcroft "crazy.'" She called the White House "too far to the right house." Clever.
- "She tells Oprah Winfrey in the latest edition of O magazine, 'I'm sure President Bush is a very nice guy, but some people voted for him because they thought he was a person they could have a beer with. What is that about?! Do you want to have a beer with the doctor who's going to operate on you, or do you want him to be the top of his class ... be a bit in awe of him?'"
- In 2004, Babs wrote a blog about how Thomas Jefferson called Bush's administration "a reign of witches."
- Hey, you can read a bunch of Barbra's blogs right at her official site.
Here's Babs performing in 2006 in Philadelphia. There is a funny skit, about how Bush is a moron. Comedy! (This skit was directed by Sidney Pollack.) (No, it wasn't.)
Man, can you believe she kissed that guy? Now James Brolin is going to kick the president's ass.

If you want your small shop to be successful nowadays, take down the "Antiques" sign and replace it with one that says "Secondhand."
An unscientific survey of a half-dozen antique shops around the country indicates business is depressed. Yet secondhand and thrift shops are thriving.
It's not surprising, when you think about it. Despite all the other distractions of late, the public is aware we are in a recession. People are looking to stretch their dollars.

Ambitious Initiative Planned
for Marine Science Program
The kick-off of Campaign UConn last month marked the beginning of an ambitious initiative for the marine sciences programs. The goal, during the next 10 years, is to make UConn the home of one of the nation's top three coastal marine sciences programs.
As the first major step toward that end, Chancellor John D. Petersen has merged the Department of Marine Sciences and the Marine Sciences and Technology Center into a single academic and research unit.
The recommendation for the change came from the Marine Science Coordinating Council, whose membership includes faculty representatives and department heads at the Avery Point campus. Joseph Comprone, associate vice chancellor and director of the Avery Point campus, is chairman of the council.
Robert Whitlatch, head of the marine sciences department, has been appointed interim director for the combined units, for a term of three years. Richard Cooper, who had been the technology center's director, becomes the new coordinator of community and industrial outreach for the Avery Point campus.
"With the restructuring, we can build upon our well established marine sciences program and turn it into one of the premier centers for coastal marine sciences and technology in the country," Petersen says.
In undertaking this initiative, UConn will be delving into relatively uncharted waters. Whereas most institutions focus their research on either the deep ocean or the watershed, the intersection of the two has yet to receive as much attention. And since the Avery Point campus is perched on the shoreline, Long Island Sound is the perfect laboratory and classroom for real world research and education in this area.
"The coastal zone is where humans have incredible impact and influence. More than 50 percent of the U.S. population lives within 100 miles of an ocean," Petersen points out. "We are positioned to assume a leadership role in research and teaching on the coastal marine environment. It is an area critical to the economy; it is where food comes from, and it is where the environmental issues are."
Whitlatch says his faculty applauds the new initiative. "With the merger of the departments and a new $24 million state-of-the-art building, we have, for the first time in our history, the infrastructur e that will enable us to move forward in new arenas of research, education and outreach."
The marine sciences faculty is already immersed in projects addressing some of the coastal marine issues - from the investigation of non-native marine species invading Long Island Sound to the creation of a series of high-tech buoys relaying real-time information about water conditions and quality to a public website.
But Whitlatch, a marine biologist, says the science community still has much to learn about the dynamics between the ocean and atmosphere. A strategic plan, not yet finalized, calls for expanding the marine sciences program to include the study of the earth and atmosphere.
"Our vision for the future also includes developing sustainable ways to properly steward the coastal environment, identifying resources along the coasts for harvesting, predicting and assessing global climate change as well as providing research and resources to the public and policymakers," Whitlatch says.
Other priorities include endowing named chairs, increasing support for postdoctoral students, graduate and undergraduate fellowships, and possibly creating a school of marine sciences.
But before any of that can happen, additional external funding is needed and that is where the University's capital campaign comes in.

Top 10 Mafia Movies
With so many gangster movies to date there are many opinions about the top 10 mafia movies. Over the years there have been mafia movies of every genre. The ever elusive mafia gangster and their families are of constant interest to those on the outside. Most Mafia gangsters have been depicted as brutal, but some have been portrayed as very loving and even comedic. The top mafia movies of all time are listed below.
- "Once Upon A Time In America" – This epic mafia movie follows the lives of four young boys as they grow up in a Jewish ghetto in Brooklyn, New York in the 1920s. They start off as petty criminals and eventually rise to the top of organized crime in New York City. The film spans close to five decades.
- "Donnie Brasco" – This true story follows FBI agent Joseph Pistone as he goes undercover and infiltrates the mafia for six years. As Donnie Brasco, Pistone is vouched for by a has-been wise guy who becomes his close friend. Before the FBI uncovers Donnie's true identity as an FBI agent, Donnie tries to save the life of his mafia friend.
- "A Bronx Tale" – This must see mafia movie was based on actually events that took place during the adolescent and teen years of actor/writer Chazz Palminteri. It is a mafia and coming of age story rolled into one. The movie also deals with race relations in the Bronx New York during the nineteen sixties.
- "Miller's Crossing" – This mafia movie revolves around two rival mob gangs who are at war, one Irish and the other Italian. The gangs are involved in a deadly power struggle during the prohibition era. The film also has a good guy who plays both gangs against each other to bring them down.
- "The Godfather" – About the most powerful crime family in America and Italy and how almost anything goes to stay on top. This family has one rule that no family member can ever break; they never sell drugs. Throughout the film, the patriarch of the family tries desperately to convince his reluctant son to take over the family business after his passing.
- "Eastern Promises" – If you don't know much about the Russian mafia, this is a must see film. The film gives a realistic depiction of the brutality involving the Russian mafia operating in London England. This film has won several awards and was picked as one of the top ten movies of 2007.
- "Hoodlum" – A fictional account of a gang war involving Jewish mobster Dutch Schultz, Italian mobster Lucky Luciano and black gangster Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson. The film deals with all three gangs and how they will stop at nothing to take over the illegal numbers operation in Harlem New York in the nineteen twenties and thirties.
- "Goodfellas" – The true story of mobster Henry Hill who ran with the mafia for thirty years and never became a made man. Towards the end, Henry starts abusing drugs, becomes paranoid and eventually gets arrested. Henry turns and rats on his mafia buddies to avoid a lengthy prison sentence.
- "The Departed" – A superb film about the Irish mafia operating in Boston Massachusetts. Both the mob and the police have an informant planted on the other's side. When each side finds out about the plants, the two informants desperately try to find out the others identity.
- "Casino" – The true story of Frank Rosenthal, who ran three successful casinos in Las Vegas for the Chicago mafia. Frank's only job was to make sure the casinos made money and the gamblers went home broke.

Fontano's SubsUniversity Village / Little Italy | Website Map
Find Parking | Menu
Patrons can eat at any of the tables at this casual UIC-area eatery -- or, according to third-generation owner Neil Fontano, pretty much anywhere else that they'd like to: by the store shelves, near the photos of regular customers -- even at the desk in his office. Hearty hand-held fare includes a meatball sub made with meatballs that are hand-rolled one at a time at the store, and the Blockbuster, packed with Italian provolone, Swiss, Genoa salami and ham. The family-oriented shop sells 700-800 sandwiches on an average day -- along with a variety of Italian grocery goods such as cannoli, Italian tuna fish and giardiniera (Italian vegetables in oil), which can also be shipped across the country.

Them (styled as them) is a novel by Joyce Carol Oates, the third in the Wonderland Quartet she inaugurated with A Garden of Earthly Delights. It was first published by Vanguard in 1969 and it won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction in 1970.[1]
Many years and many awards later, Oates surmised that them and Blonde (2000) were the works she will most be remembered for, and would most want a new reader to select, though she added that "I could as easily have chosen a number of titles."[2]
In the foreword to the book, Oates states that for the most part, them is based upon a real family. "Maureen Wendall" contacted Oates by mail after she had failed a college course she took, and these letters are, presumably, recreated verbatim in the novel about two-thirds through the text. Stating that "the novel practically wrote itself," Oates organized and fictionalized the story, but at certain points revised the text to relay "Maureen Wendall's" words verbatim. Oates also noted that, rather than sensationalizing the story of the Wendalls to make slum life more lurid, she actually softened some sections so that it would not overwhelm the reader. She commented that the confessional aspect was, at least temporarily, extremely therapeutic to "Maureen Wendall" and that all the family members were still living.
In an addendum to the afterword, Oates clarifies that this "realist" element was a literary device: all characters and events are entirely fictional. Maureen's letters were written by Oates, and the "Miss Oates" to whom the letters are written is also a fictional character. At the time (1962–1967), Oates went by Joyce Smith.[3]
Them explores the complex struggles of American life through three down-on-their-luck characters—Loretta, Maureen, and Jules—who are attempting to reach normality and the American dream through marriage and money.
The story begins with Loretta Botsford and her brother Brock as teenagers, living in a "fair-sized city on a midwestern canal", in the 1930s. Loretta falls in love with Bernie Malin, and sleeps with him. Later in the night, Brock shoots Bernie in the head, and Bernie dies suddenly. Loretta runs away, and meets Howard Wendall, an older cop to whom she confesses the death of Bernie Malin. They later marry, and she bears her son Jules (who was hinted to be Bernie Malin's son). Loretta and Howard live close to Mama and Papa Wendall's house, on the south side of town. Soon after the birth of Jules, Howard is busted for taking money from prostitutes. The Wendalls move into the country house with Howard's family where Loretta bore her daughters Maureen, and Betty.
When World War II breaks out, Howard leaves his family to fight in Europe. Meanwhile, Jules grows up to be a fast, energetic child who hangs around older children, and is never still. Maureen is a quiet, shy, delicate girl, while Betty is a smart aleck. Jules as a child is fascinated by fire; when he burns down a deserted barn and when a plane crashes in Detroit.
Loretta decides to move to Detroit with Jules, Maureen and Betty while Howard is still at war. Jules takes on the role of the "bad boy" who hangs out with kids who steal from stores and smoke at school. Many conclude that Jules will not live past twenty. Soon Jules is expelled from the Catholic school and sent to a public school away from his sisters.
As time progresses, Jules becomes more involved in petty theft but always has hopes for a better life. He falls passionately in love with a rich girl, Nadine, from the suburbs whom he helps to run away from home to Texas. She abandons him in a hotel, however, when he becomes ill, stealing his car and money.
After Howard dies in a work accident, Loretta remarries and relies more and more on Maureen to run the household. Feeling the desire to escape, Maureen turns to prostitution to build an escape fund. When her step-father discovers her secret, he savagely beats her, resulting in his jail sentence, Loretta's divorce, and Maureen suffers a nervous breakdown for over a year. She gradually recovers with the care of Loretta's brother Brock, who has unexpectedly returned and the letters of Jules, who slowly drifts back North.
Some time later, Jules is doing better in business working for his uncle when he reconnects with Nadine. She has married, but they initiate an affair. However, she has mental problems and shoots him. Jules survives, but has lost all his drive. Maureen has moved out and is working as a typist and taking night classes. She sets her sights on her professor, a married man, and they begin an affair. When Maureen coolly tells her mother of her plans to become a housewife, Loretta is incensed.
After his recovery, Jules is a defeated man, maintaining several affairs. He rapes a girl and later pimps her out, and he becomes involved with a group of intellectual radicals. He is present at the 1967 Detroit riots, where Loretta's apartment is among the buildings burned. In the chaos, Jules sinks to a new low when he finally commits murder.
Later, Jules visits Maureen, who has isolated herself from the rest of her family in Dearborn with her husband and is expecting a child. Loretta is surviving while Jules plans to try his fortunes in California.
Literary significance and criticism[edit]
The novel has been praised for its commentary on the difficulties faced by the American working class and depiction of lower class tragedy through its descriptions of urban life and the interweaving of colloquial language with prose.[citation needed]

04 Aug Eichstaedt & Lervold LLP
Increase Employee Engagement by Involving Employees in Your Strategic Planning Process.
Situation: Eichstaedt & Lervold (formerly Eichstaedt & Devereaux) is a full-service professional accounting firm in San Francisco. They hadn't conducted a formal employee survey in several years. The recent changes in the firm's leadership were creating some confusion among associates. The firm's leaders wanted to get their associates' input and understand associates' perspectives about the firm as they plan for the company's future.
Solutions: Novacrea designed and conducted an employee survey that assessed associates' perceptions of the firm's leadership, communication, collaboration, and working relationships. We analyzed survey results and presented to the senior management team at their leadership retreat.
Results: Several key issues were discovered—and associates made valuable suggestions for improving the issues identified. Their responses provided critical input and were integrated into the firm's strategic planning and used in creating a clear, compelling vision. Eichstaedt went on to expand from one location in San Francisco to another location in Menlo Park, California.
We can help you design and implement an employee survey to gather employee input before you implement any major organizational changes.

PayPal has just launched version 2.0 of its iPhone payment app, and there have been some noteworthy additions that promise to make it a whole lot better.
Top of the list is the new 'Bump' feature for making quick payments to another (physically present) iPhone user. Simply fire up the app, bump the phones together and you'll be given the option to either send or request money from them.
Seems like a great way to keep things square between friends, and it even includes a calculator for splitting the bill, working out the tip and requesting everyone's share.
And if you're always receiving those pesky court summons in the post for not paying your council tax on time, you might find the facility for setting reminders helpful too.
The PayPal iPhone app is free from the iTunes store.

I enjoyed this book more than the last one I read about aromatherapy. It was published much more recently (2016 vs 1995) so the information and studies referenced are more up-to-date. And the author is clearer about what information is anecdotal and what came from a research-based scientific study. Not that personal experience isn't valid, but it's important to understand and clarify the difference, especially when it comes to putting foreign substances into your body.
Title – The Aromatherapy Garden: Growing fragrant plants for happiness and well-being
Author – Kathi Keville
Page count – 257
Rating – Borrow to see if it interests you. I'll probably buy a copy at some point because I enjoy structuring my garden designs around fragrant plants and want to reference some of her ideas. Continue reading "The Aromatherapy Garden (Kathi Keville)"

Summer wedding season is almost here. If your friend is getting married this summer and you plan to give her a fun farewell to single life, here are six new and unique ways to decorate for her bachelorette party.
Bachelorette parties vary from the stereotypical Vegas weekend to the quiet and intimate settings of a winery or fine restaurant. Be sure to tailor the type of party you'll be throwing to the bride's likes and dislikes. Once you have the theme of your party set, you can start planning for the decorations.
1. Match Her Wedding Theme
Decorate the party area or hotel room in the bride's wedding colors, plus gold or silver. Use plastic tablecloths as curtains to divide the rooms. Use large gold letter balloons to spell "Bride."
2. Flowers
Instead of the glittery tiaras that make everyone think "bachelorette party," create a floral theme. Decorate the party area with the bride's favorite flowers. Make flower crowns for all the bridesmaids to wear when they go out together. Make cutout flowers from scrapbook paper and spell "Bride" or her name on the wall. If you're in a hotel, make sure to use poster putty that won't damage the walls.
3. Pool Party
Pool parties are a fantastic way to celebrate the bride's last days of being single. They are a fun way to bring in a carefree feeling. Decorate the pool area with fun shaped floats, like donuts or cute animals. Have beach towels monogrammed with each bridesmaid's name. When the party goes inside, keep up the tropical theme by decorating with a cool turquoise color.
4. Champagne
Decorate the room with gold and white. Tie balloons on champagne bottles and use these as favors for the bridesmaids. Behind the display table, hang a DIY banner made from gold and white ribbon. You may even be able to find a large inflatable balloon in the shape of a champagne bottle. Use champagne flutes as holders for small party favors.
5. Candy
Use the bride's favorite candy as a theme for the party room. Fill champagne glasses with it and use coordinating colors to decorate the room. Make photo props with oversized photos of various kinds of candy, and make a photo frame for selfies. You can kick up the party atmosphere by making cocktails with candy themes, or by making vodka gummy bears.
6. Lingerie
For a more edgy party decoration, make inexpensive lingerie into a party banner. Sew or glue "Bride" on the banner. You can find ideas for lingerie-themed party games online. Put lace accents of various colors around the room, and give everyone nice lingerie as a party favor.
