How much does
CoolSculpting cost?
+ What is CoolSculpting?
The CoolSculpting fat freezing treatment is a permanent solution to getting rid of stubborn fat. CoolSculpting is the world's #1 FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to reduce unwanted fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise.
CoolSculpting can treat almost anywhere on your body. The five most common areas are the lower and upper abdomen, love handles, double chin, inner and outer thighs. CoolSculpting is proven to be a safe and effective procedure that may produce noticeable results and high patient satisfaction.
+ How does it work?
The CoolSculpting procedure safely delivers precise, controlled cooling to gently and efficiently target stubborn fat cells underneath the skin initiating cryolipolysis. The treated fat cells are frozen and within a few weeks your body naturally processes and reduces the dead fat cells.
CoolSculpting results may be permanent because fat cells are gone for good! And unlike other procedures, there's no change to the fat cells in untreated areas.
+ How Cool is the CoolSulpting procedure?
As the name suggests, the CoolSculpting procedure can be a little chilly. Controlled cooling is delivered via an applicator to freeze the targeted fat. While you'll feel the cool at the beginnning, the area we slowly become numb, but don't worry, we have plently of blankets to make sure you stay nice and warm while your fat freezes.
+ Does the CoolSculpting procedure hurt?
Though you may feel intense cold initially, this feeling usually subsides within 5 to 10 minutes as the area numbs. Because most applicators use a vacuum to draw fatty tissue into the applicator cup, you may also feel some pulling, tugging, and/or mild pinching.
+ Can I multitask during my treatment?
Absolutely! The CoolSculpt room is equipped with Netflix, Wifi, and we can dim the lights if you need a quick nap; whatever feels most comfortable for you. So sit back, relax, and reduce stubborn fat!
+ Is there downtime?
The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, which makes returning to normal activities afterwards a typically easy process. Often times, patients even return to work after their CoolSculpting treatment is over.
+ How long is each treatment?
The length of your CoolSculpting treatment will vary depending on the number of areas being treated however most cycles are only 35 minutes! The new and improved 35 minute applicators give you the ability to be in and out in as quickly as a lunch break! Dr. Prokupek has multiple CoolSculpting systems and applicators which allows us to "dual sculpt". "Dual Sculpting" means we can treat multiple areas at the same time so you can get back to your daily routine as soon as possible.
+ How many treatments will I need?
During your free consultation we will help you create an individualized treatment to transformation plan tailored to your specific goals.
+ Where does the fat go? Are the results permanent?
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they are naturally processed and reduced from the body through the lymphatic system. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good.
+ When will I see results?
You may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment, and will experience final results after 3 months.
+ Fat Reduction vs Weight Loss. What's the difference?
Reducing fat is not the same as losing weight. It all depends on what happens the to fat cells. During your teenage years, the number of fat cells in your body typically becomes a fixed a number. When losing or gaining weight your body does not decrease or increase the number of fat cells. Instead, it changes the size of fat cells.
Unlike diet and exercise, which only reduces the size of fat cells, the CoolSculpting treatment permanently reduces the number of fat cells in treated areas by about 20% to 25%.

I've been on the path to recovery for over 20 years—23, to be exact. My first step on the path was related to my alcohol use. Though I didn't see myself as an alcoholic—I didn't regularly drink to excess, I didn't ever have blackouts, and my drinking never got me in trouble with the law or led me to wake up in strange places with no idea what had happened or how I got there. Nevertheless, a close friend convinced me to go to an AA meeting one evening, and it changed my point of view. I learned an old program saying: "It's not how much you use, it's how you use it." I realized this applied to me, so I quit drinking. At that time, my practice of yoga helped me deal with many of the issues that I'd been masking with my alcohol use. However, I didn't completely refrain from the use of all substances. I let one of my other vices hang around—marijuana—because I didn't think it was so bad. Three years later, I was sitting in a meeting and realized that I needed to take the next step: I needed to let go of the weed.
Martial Arts and Recovery
My primary rationalization for continuing to use marijuana was that I needed it to sleep. Despite my practice of yoga, my evenings found me with just too much energy, and too much on my mind. About three months before I decided to take that next step and quit smoking, I'd discovered Chinese martial arts. I studied a style called hung gar—a form of kung fu also known as "tiger/crane" style. I quite enjoyed it. It was much more active than yoga, and I loved the movement—the kicking, the punching, the conditioning exercises, and the traditional, family structure of the school. I'd been attending two or three early morning classes per week, but was lucky in that I had just progressed past the beginning level of the art, and was invited to attend the intermediate/advance evening classes. I was also lucky in that my work schedule—I was a schoolteacher—left my evenings free. I fell into a rhythm: I'd work, come home to relax and have a snack, then head to my evening class.
Meditation in Motion
I completely threw myself into the study of hung gar. It's an intense, challenging art to practice: low, difficult stances, painstaking attention to basic exercises, and endless repetition of both short sequences of movements and longer, three- to four-minute sequences of movements called "forms." I needed it, though. Whereas my practice of yoga had helped me deal with my addiction-related issues up to a certain point, I found that my nature—very male, and quite aggressive at times—demanded more. I'm not aggressive in a bad way, but in the way that many men and boys are: I loved competition, I loved the thrill of being "in the mix" and competing with the other guys in the school. I found that while practicing kung fu, I was able to lose myself in the art. I'd dive into each drill, exercise, or form with abandon, giving myself to it completely. I was in the moment, and one evening I realized, after class, that I hadn't had an anxious or negative thought in almost three hours: I'd been completely, 100% in the moment. I was calm, relaxed and at peace. I understood that in my own way, and on my own terms, I'd discovered the perfect meditation—a practice that allowed me to be fully present, and not ruminate over the past, fret about the future or worry about anything at all. I was completely immersed in the here and now; and afterward, I felt refreshed, refocused, ready to eat and, most of all, free of stress and ready to sleep.
Kung Fu, Mindfulness, and Recovery
I practiced hung gar/tiger crane kung fu diligently for over 10 years. I learned forms, became an assistant teacher in my school, and got to use swords, spears and various other fun, traditional weapons. I loved it, and the school was my safe haven, my solace, my community and my happy place. I'd go in with the various stresses of my life—work, relationships, recovery—starting to weigh me down, and emerge revitalized, centered, and virtually stress-free. During my years of practice, I also picked up a practice of Tai Chi, which is actually a form of kung fu. Over time, I learned to focus my energy and calm my mind and spirit with the slow, gentle, circular movements of Tai Chi—which is good, because though it is possible to practice hung gar until a very old age, it begins to wear on the joints after a while. Kicking, jumping, spinning, and rolling, they're for the young guys. Tai Chi, on the other hand, is the essence of mindfulness: to practice well, you need to slow down, center your breath, soothe your mind, calm your thoughts and focus your attention fully on the moment. Nowadays, rather than jumping around three hours a night, waving swords and spears or kicking focus pads, you can find me out in my yard early in the morning practicing my Tai Chi. It brings me peace and tranquility and puts me in the perfect frame of mind to focus on the most important part of my life: my path to recovery.

In a bit of blog irony (would that be blogrony?) or some such thing, my plans for a quiet Thursday night sucking back a drink or two have just changed. Now, I'm going to try and shake hands with a real man.
A couple of days ago, Zombieslayer did a post on 'The Man' and I commented that no one in Bush Co. was likely to be shopping at Wal-Mart any time soon.
No...I'm not going to tell you Turdblossom was shopping for skivies in aisle six today. This is much better than that. Jimmy Carter is going to be signing his new book at the local Wal-Mart superstore. It's true...Secret Service has been through the place for the last week.
Whacked out...indeed...but I'm going to be there.
For some weird reason, the Milwaukee area has been a magnet for politicos of all stripes the last few years. During the campaign Bush stopped here twice and his wife came out once. Kerry made his stops here too. But this is the first time that a real President has been in the area since I've been here.
What? Didn't I just say Bush was here twice?
Yes, I did...and I stand by my statement that this will be the first real President stopping here during my time here. Bush might be your president, but he's not mine. In fact, I've decided to dismiss him as a spoiled, rich, bastard who's not even worthy of my scorn. You can keep that 'man of faith' and any god he worships.
Jimmy Carter, on the other hand, is someone that I can respect.
I might not think of him as the best President of my lifetime, but I believe he did a respectable job when in office and a more than respectable job when out of it. He has always been candid about his faith and he backs it up with actions. That quietly commands respect, if you ask me.
So, while Junior stands in front of carefully-orchestrated, mocked-up scenes of rebuilding after disasters, Jimmy Carter has been busy actually pounding nails in houses for the poor. Junior talks about his faith with a bull horn, and Carter quietly earns the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.
Anyway, you can call Carter a peanut farmer, say he's not a savvy politician, even say he seems a bit goofy...but in my book he'll always be a man for trying honestly. Bush...well, he'll never be a real man, no matter how many troops he commands or how loud he proclaims his hollow faith. A real man is honest and has character...and you can't buy those things.
So, I bought Jimmy Carter's new book.
I'll be standing there in line. And if I get to see the guy and have my book signed, I'll leave happy knowing that I've seen a real man...

Okay...that's weird...but, I'll go anyway

American politicians are oh so much more entertaining than their Canadian counterparts.... You won't see any rants from me anytime soon about the wacky hi-jinx of Paul Martin (Zzzzzzzz).
Sadly, I'm not up on my Carter trivia, but even us Northern folk realize that Bush is a gigantic motard. Several years later, I still can't get over the fact that he was RE-elected!!! For the love of pete, Americans (50.1% anyway - or whatever the stats say) are gluttons for punishment...
Better luck in the next election (of course, failing that, you could always relocate to join your quasi-sane neighbours in the land of Canucks!)
- The Zombieslayer said...
Carter as a person is a wonderful man. he's the only President in the past twenty years I'd let babysit my kid. But he was a horrible President. The things I remember from Carter was that he gave away the Panama Canal, he weakened the military, and huge inflation.
But you are right. As a person, he's a wonderful man.
- Shawn said...
Believe me...the thought has crossed my mind. It's quickly vanquished when I remember that you guys have bad beer up there. Oh, and the money kind of freaks me out... Another moron for president though, and I might be your neighbor.
ZS - True on all counts, only he didn't really give the canal away since it was never ours begin with, we were just leasing it.
If I remember right, Carter inherited a lot of crap - like inflation - from Ford...but that's what you get from having a vice-vice president in office before you.
As for the military being weak, that was more a result of post Viet Nam sentiments than anything the president did back then.
On a positive note for Carter...it was the guys after him - Reagan, Bush Sr. and Clinton - who were giving away the store and allowing jobs to go overseas.
I do agree with you though that he wasn't a very effective president in many areas, but most people would trust him with their kids.
- Laura said...
YEah, I remember going to Milwaukee for a Feingold/Moore/Obama campaign stop in 04 -it is quite the battleground. Have fun. Tell Jimmy I say hi ;)
- thephoenixnyc said...
Here Here. Carter was a good man, yes, he was in over his head, but he was honest, had the nation's interest above his or his party's and has gone on to do great things for humanity.
I think from regular reading of my blog you know where I stand on the criminal hater in chief. I have some dooseys up now.
BTW, remember you had mentioned you could optimize my site for me. I would like you to do that. Email me with apirce and let's het started.
- Shelly said...
So I getting this vibe that you don't like Bush!! hahah! I on the other hand LOVE Bush. Yes you can call me stupid and what not, but I believe he is doing his best.
I am not old enough to remember Carter. In fact, I don't know anything about him. Except that he was a peanut farmer.
Come on, I'm a special education major and not a history major!! hahah! I am just trying to get kids to read let alone know the political views of every former and current president.
Anyway...i'm sorry that you see Bush as such a failure. Yes he has made mistakes...but then again...who hasn't?
Well back to studying for me!!:)
- Gregg said...
qWait a minute; you actually think Carter builds these houses? The pictures of him, hammer in hand, are not photo ops? Wow, we see what we want to see I guess. I happen to see a large tax sucking sub-corporation preying off people who are encouraged, or perhaps enabled, to remain reliant on the government cheese, so to speak. It's Big money to run Habitat for Inhumanity, most of our taxes go to administers of such projects, and not to the intended "victims" of societal negligence. Enabling people to fail is big business indeed. As for our current president, there is honor in freeing an oppressed, people and giving a country a system of government that encourages political inclusion, but I suppose you are all for female circumcision, genocide, the rich getting richer, the poor, well, fuck the poor. The last great thing the Left did in this country was to have a civil rights movement. Now that we are in the midst of another in Iraq, it's reckless and evil. That just doesn't make sense to me.
Love, Gregg
- tshsmom said...
I've always said that Carter may not have accomplished anything, but at least he's honest. When's the last time THAT happened? And don't tell me JFK, because we all know he was FAR from honest.
Honesty is way too underrated these days!
- Shawn said...
Hey Greggers...fumes getting to you in the kitchen, huh?! Calling the Festering Boil in the White House a liberator is a bit like calling a guy who doesn't kick a bum a Buddha.
Anyone who now claims that they always thought we were going to Iraq to liberate the poor, oppressed brown people there is either lying or a tard. Let's at least be honest about that one... We went to kick some Saddam ass.
Say you believed the weapons of mass destruction spiel and I can at least respect that, but at this point it's a bit lame to stick to that one. Regardless, we're there now...so, let's finish the effin job and be done with it. I'm tired of paying for it and I'm a bit tired of some assmunch trying to play FDR.
If Bush wanted to be a great war hero, he should have gone and fought in the one he dodged...er, served valiantly in as a Crossing Guard, or whatever...
Sadly for Dumbass - I mean Dubya - the only Nazi hordes he has to square off against to show his mettle are in his administration.
Now...unless you're buying me a drink or challenging me to trivia...I have no time for your nonsense little one...I have babies to kill and money to waste...
Oh yeah... Kisses...
shelly - I still love you even if you love the Devil. I would try and hook you up with Gregg (he loves the Devil too), but he's whipped by a girl and doesn't come out to play with the boys anymore...so, I guess he's off the market. And yes...by all means study more...do not go out and have fun...it's totally overrated.
tshsmom - Yeah, a bit of honesty from the leaders of this country would be a refreshing breeze.
- Shelly said...
Shawn, thanks for the offer of trying to hook me up with Gregg, but i'm happily content with my b/f of 1 1/2 years. And I do go out and have fun. Study groups are fun!!! hahah j/k. If you would just invite me to go out to the pub with you, i would drop all my books and party hard!!! hahahah
- Miranda said...
Okay. I can understand criticizing Bush, but _not_ if you praise Carter.
Anyone who calls Bush incompetent cannot reasonably praise the man responsible for the "hostage rescue" chopper crash. I mean, this is a guy who was frightened by bunnies, but who tried to make friends with communist soviets and terrorist leaders.
The economy under Carter's reign was hardly something to boast about.
As for him being "candid" about his faith - nothing could be farther from the truth. He claimed to be a "born again Christian", was voted into office largely because of it, and then he turned his back on born again Christians, voting for nothing they supported and everything they did not.
Bush has been more candid, though
I suspect you despise, rather than admire him for it. Whenever a liberal praises someone for anything faith related, it's because that person has little. Bill Clinton, JFK, and Jimmy Carter
are men of faith, whereas George Bush is a religious fanatic ;).
Oh well. I don't understand it, but I don't have to.
- The Zombieslayer said...
Shawn - Okay, I'll give him props for not starting the outsourcing craze.
but we did build the Panama Canal. Panama as a nation uses the American dollar to this day and speaks English. Now, some Chinese corporations have their hands in the Canal. Not good at all. It would have been better in our hands with us paying a tax to Panamanian citizens.
- Shawn said...
shelly - A round at the pub it is! Um...you'll probably want to get started soon though, I suspect it's a bit of a long drive. I'll warn you now, Illinois is boring.
M - Okay, I'll start at the top...
Anyone who calls Bush incompetent cannot reasonably praise the man responsible for the "hostage rescue" chopper crash.
The obsurdity of that statement isn't quite staggering, but close. It would be a bit like me blaming Bush for a Humvee hitting a mine. While it's possible to question the reason for the Humvee to be over there, it's not reasonable to blame Bush for an accident of war.
...who tried to make friends with communist soviets and terrorist leaders.
I'm not going to really address it, but turn it into a question. 'Who tried to make friends with communistss and terrorist leaders?' Yeah, it's a challenge...come back with a list of those communists and terrorists and we'll compare it across the board with the policies of every administration of the modern era = JFK to present.
He claimed to be a "born again Christian", was voted into office largely because of it, and then he turned his back on born again Christians, voting for nothing they supported and everything they did not.
Let's get this one right from the start. He actually lost 10 points in the polls after that revelation which was made as an aside comment to a campaign supporter in answer to a personal question.
The only 'Christians' he turned his back on were the hatemongering 'Moral Majority' hacks who are hardly worthy of being termed Christians.
Yes, Carter believes and believed, in the seperation of church and state, the right to abortion upheld by the Supreme Court (even though he doesn't believe in abortion) and that *gasp* gays and lesbians are no worse transgressors in the eyes of the Lord than than adulterers and divorced people. If believing the opposite is what is reguired to be a Christian, then you would be correct and Carter is not a Christian and, thankfully, most of your neighbors in the pews across America on Sunday are not Christians either.
Bush has been more candid, though
I suspect you despise, rather than admire him for it. Whenever a liberal praises someone for anything faith related, it's because that person has little.
I despise Bush because he's a lying piece of crap. He's a smug bastard who is used to running the playground. That's fine and dandy, but he's not very good at it...
I think he's small minded and short sighted and if I had the chance to meet him I would turn it down - although I would change that if there was the chance to tell him what I think of him and his policies.
ZS - ...we did build the Panama Canal. Panama as a nation uses the American dollar to this day and speaks English.
Yeah, I helped roof my neighbor's garage...but as much I like my handiwork, I can't claim to own his garage even though he does drink the same beer as me...Newcastle in case you were wonderin'...
Now, some Chinese corporations have their hands in the Canal. Not good at all.
I agree that would be bad indeed. There seems to be a lot of that trend lately. Just look at how they recently tried to buy one of our major oil companies.
The budding economic power of China should be a lot bigger concern than it is. But the flip side is that there are a lot of opportunities for American companies to open a huge market.
- Shawn said...
An aside to clarify my personal thoughts on the string of presidents of the modern era...
JFK - He was young, handsome and charming... Like the civil rights stuff, but he was a sneaky bastard and a bit of hypocrite.
Johnson - Hamfisted idiot. This man is the cause of more needless deaths of Americans than any other in modern history.
Nixon - Lying, conniving, paranoid. The continuing cause of needless deaths of Americans. The echos of his administration are still being echoing in Washington.
Liked the bold move toward China though. Was that really him or his Secretary of State though...one wonders.
Ford - Ummm yeah, I don't really know anything he did...although the golfing incident and the ski accident come to mind.
My Dad met him and his wife on a plane once. My Dad said they were both very nice.
Carter - Always considered weak because he didn't saber rattle, but I still remember some interviews done with long-term political prisoners who recounted that the only time their suffering eased while in prison was when Carter announced a zero-tolerance for torturers foreign policy.
Did a crap job with the economy and always seemed out of place in Washington. A bit too down home for my tastes and far too into the God thing.
Reagan - Also did a crap job with the economy, but it recovered nicely anyway. Considered strong because he did saber rattle.
My Mother said he was very kind to her when she met him. She was the president of the National Secretaries Association (or some such thing) and he came to speak (he was still actor Reagan then). She was supposed to take some photos but got nervous and dropped the camera. He picked it up and spent some time posing for her so that she could get her pictures.
He was one of my favorites and I worked for both of his campaigns.
He was also a liar and manipulator par excellence... I suspect that he broke more than several laws while in office and had he been like Nixon would be reviled today.
Despite his flaws, I still like him.
Bush, Sr. - Thought he did a respectable job in office. I always suspected he had a lot to do with Reagan's strength on foreign policy (his CIA background and all), but I don't believe that anymore.
I still respect the dignity of office he represented then and continues to represent now. Didn't work on his campaign, but voted for him.
Clinton - What a smarmy smile he had...and still has. On the one hand he seemed charming, on the other he seemed a bit slippery.
Did a decent job in office, but was hampered by the rise of the current partisanship.
I left the Republican party during his presidency - not because I thought he was great guy, but because I couldn't stomach the Republican leadership at the time. I look back at them now as loveable compared to the brown shirts ruining...um running...the party now.
I still like Clinton, although I don't approve of his personal actions. C'mon Bill, you were married...
Bush, Jr. - He's in office during an unprecendented time. He's in the position to do great things, but I believe the seeds of this administration will bear poisoned apples in coming years.
I also believe history will show him to be the president that marked the decline of the United States as the pre-eminent world power and the rise of a great divide within American society.
In short, his administration is riddled with corruption, greed and criminal wrongdoing and he is perhaps the worst president of the last 100 years.
(Don't bother commenting on any of this...it's just my personal beliefs and I'm just giving it as background.)

Good definitions Shawn!
The only one I disagree with is Clinton. This man doesn't have the brains to pound sand down a rat hole! Anything he accomplished was because Hillary was pulling his strings. Hillary married him and groomed him for the presidency. Why? So she could get a step-up in her political career!

Just got back from Vegas, was really looking forward to your retort, so you can imagine my dissapointment. Wolf O'witz and the boys were planning the Project for New American Century back in 91', a vision that I thought was rightfully quashed at that time. In retrospect it seems somewhat prophetic, in that it expressed that the incessant instability in the middle east will become a national security threat if not addressed. In any regard, I dont subscribe to the wmd spiel as you say, even though every liberal agreed that that was a percieved threat (probibly why you can "respect" that argument), I believe we are there to stabilize the region by installing a democracy. As for the rest of your argument, my dad always said dont match wits with someone who's unarmed.
- Shawn said...
Hey Gregg...did you get married? If you did run off and get married, then congrats...if not, well, hope it was good time anyway...
Enough nice, nice...
As for the rest of your argument, my dad always said dont match wits with someone who's unarmed.
So, why in the name of all that's holy, do you insist on walking in here naked? For the love of Christ, please at least borrow some of Mike's wits before wandering out in the cold, cold world. I could loan you some of mine too...and still have enough to beat you at trivia.
I was going to argue back, but I'm not in the mood. I'm going to go out tonight though...
- Gregg said...
Trivia; Insignificant or inessential matters; trifles.
Nuff said about that.
Did not get married, she is however on the right side of the fence, so, who knows? Had a great time, thanks for asking. You are much better at your little soliloquies than actual discourse so I understand why you would rather "go out" and perhaps match wits with the likes of a Mike. Speaking of which, he's looking for a roommate, you guys could spend endless hours discussing...... wow I almost stooped to your level of discourse. Hope ya got lucky last night, and hope you know this is all in fun. Don't go changin' your blog.
Love, Gregg
- Shawn said...
Gregg - You must be a Sherpa. How else could you live in such lofty realms. Do people look like ants from way up there? Can you even see them? Just remember that nosebleeds, nausea, and loss of motor skills and coordination are signs of altitude sickness and you should come down immediately.
I get confused when I talk to you because you espouse the values of a conservative, but bang the drum of a neocon Bushwacker.
I thought you believed in smaller government, less government spending, strengthening the military, a free exchange of thoughts and traditional social values. Maybe I was wrong on that.
Maybe you have a better view of the big picture from your lofty heights, but from down here I see a different sight.
The Federal government has increased in size nearly 10 percent over the last six years.
The Federal deficit, which had been nearly erased, is now the highest it's ever been and that's before major no-bid spending on disaster rebuilding.
Umm, we're supposed to be in the middle of a war, yet how many bases are being closed? How do you reckon that armor plating is coming along on the vehicles servicemen and women are using in Iraq and Afghanistan? How exactly are those billions being spent on this 'war effort'.
Do I believe that we're doing the right thing over in Iraq? Sure do. (Well, except for the torture, beatings, and use of chemical weapons on civilians part.)
Do I believe for one second that we're there to better the lives of the Iraqi people? No, that's merely a byproduct of whatever bullshit goals the big Signifying Monkey in the White House has.
The monkey got the lion all riled about the elephant, and now that the lion figured out he was duped, the monkey is flashing his shiney 'look, we're promotin' democracy spoon' to distract the lion from kickin his ass.
And yet, here you are banging the neocon Bush gong.
Again, maybe you see the big picture and I'm missing something.
Maybe there really is a great benefit to me that big businesses should get more protections and tax breaks, after all these corporate pillars of America are turning around and creating more and more economic opportunities for...oops...Indians, Chinese...and ultra-rich Americans.
Nothing personal, but supporting the neocons doesn't make you one. All these fine supporters are not the ones reaping the benefits. They're just buying into the pyramid scheme.
So, if the goal is to get a couple bucks back at tax time and call that a great day, then you're at least on the right train. Can I suggest you invest that $300 bucks in Haliburton stock...
If your goal is to have a bit of economic security, then I'm afraid that train has been put in storage.
How's your medical coverage? Maybe you're in the lucky minority who gets coverage through work. Or maybe, like me, you're hosed. The coverage I can afford won't do me a bit of good unless I'm well and truly fucked. Anything short of that and I'm well and truly fucked.
How's your retirement plan? Maybe you were smart and bought some Halliburton before the first election. Then I can understand not really caring about saving Social Security.
Do I want the government to do it for me? Not at all.
I want the government to keep big companies from screwing me...my ass is sore from it all.
I want the government to create a fair environment for me and then stay the fuck out of my life. I'll go to church if I want, or I'll just stay home and surf internet porn. It's none of their business which.
I want the government to stop trying to jam religion down people's throats.
I want the government to balance the fucking budget not come back from recess to debate whether to subvert the court system to keep a vegetable on life support.
I want a president with the balls to at least meet the families of the men he's sent to be killed. What kind of pussy is this guy?
I want a president that doesn't support torture and terrorism while saying he's fighting it.
We're the greatest fucking country on the planet, and I damn well want us to act like it instead being a bunch of punk-ass bitches like the coward in the White House.
Anyway, you keep banging the gong of support for the chimp and his brand of democracy. Maybe if people don't agree you can just beat it into them. Or better yet, stick 'em on a plane and let the Poles, Romanians, and Syrians beat it into them.
And, of course I know it's all in fun... you don't really think you could out debate me, do you? I'm way lots smarter than you and stuff...
You should call me before you run off and move to Shorewood or Whitefolks Bay, or something...
p.s. - By 'she is however on the right side of the fence...' do you mean that she's not gay? Just askin'...

Ellis Theatre
1671 Ellis Street,
San Francisco,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 6 comments
The October, 1907, issue of the trade journal Concrete had this item about the Princess Theatre:
"The Princess theater, just completed, enjoys the distinction of being the only theater structure in the city which is constructed entirely of reinforced concrete. It has a seating capacity of 1,600 and its total cost was in the neighborhood of $180,000."
Here is another photo showing the Princess/Ellis Theatre late in its history, during the 1960s, when it had become Mt. Zion Church.
From the same time period, the back of the theater, with the name Princess Theatre still painted on the stage house. Everything around it had already been demolished for an urban undo-all project, and the theater building would soon fall victim to the same folly.
Here is a 1907 postcard photo showing the Princess Theatre and its neighbor, the Orpheum, later to be called the Garrick Theatre.
The April 27, 1911, issue of the City and County of San Francisco's Municipal Recordreported that Samuel Loverich had been granted a motion picture permit for the Princess Theatre, Ellis Street.
The Princess Theatre got a tiny Wurlitzer pipe organ, opus 900, 2 manuals, 4 ranks, in 1924. The organ was moved to a church in 1931.
The Princess was one of five San Francisco theaters designed by the architectural firm of O'Brien & Werner (Matthew O'Brien and Carl Werner) that were listed in an ad for the firm in the 1907-1908 edition of Henry's Official Western Theatrical Guide.

Despite what it may look like from the outside, dry cleaning is not a simple process; it is part art and part science. During our 30 years in business, we've seen people denigrate the profession by opening dry cleaning shops, without making any investment in learning their trade and how to 'do it right'. How insulting to you and risky for your clothes! It's like thinking they can become a fine clothing designer or tailor without first going to school to learn the necessary skills. At J's we have more respect than that for your clothes and our craft.
To 'do it right', superb dry cleaning requires an investment in state of the art equipment and tools, as well as professional training and knowledge about fabrics, fiber identification, stains and stain removal sciences, cleaning processes, garment construction and pressing techniques… all of which lets a great cleaner use those tools and equipment for the good of your garment.
At J's we've made the trifecta commitment of time, training and tools. You have our guarantee that we have the talent and will take the time to ensure your garment is always returned to you in tip top condition - free of stains, free of odors, free of fabric shine, free of seam impressions or double creases… in other words, free of imperfections and often in a better condition then when you purchased it.
J's Cleaners respects the time, energy and money you have invested in your wardrobe. That's why we invest our time, training and tools to provide you with a level of quality that will extend the useful life of your garments. We know our job is to protect your investment so your wardrobe will last longer, look better and save you the costs of premature replacement.

Canada Day special: 8 fashionable Canadian personalities on how they're celebrating this weekend
Canada Day special: 8 fashionable Canadian personalities on how they're celebrating this weekend
The Coveteur co-founders Stephanie Mark and Erin Kleinberg. Photography by Jake Rosenberg.This Canada Day, we're proposing that along with beaver tails and maple syrup, we celebrate Canadian fashion as one of our iconic national symbols. And with an endlessly talented well of Canadian designers, models and supporters to draw from, we're pretty sure our homegrown style has earned its national pride status. But don't just take our word for it: Here's how some of the most influential and creative fashion personalities in the country celebrate, well, the most influential and creative aspects of Canadian fashion this year. The Coveteur, Erin Kleinberg (co-founder and designer) and Stephanie Mark (co-founder and stylist) Erin Kleinberg Canuck-style celebration: "I love to spend Canada Day having brunch (and a BBQ!) with my family and boyfriend. We usually spend the day lounging by the pool and relaxing. This year, I'll be heading to NYC with my boyfriend for a weekend escape. Ideally we'd be going to Palm Springs - my home away from home - but this will do! I lived in NYC for a while so it's always nice to go back when it's not for work purposes, especially during this time of year. I'll definitely be hitting up our favourite spots - Gemma, La Esquina, Otto and The Spotted Pig - strolling Central Park and likely doing some damage at Barneys." Candian fashion love: "I think Canadian fashion is a bit underrated and undiscovered. Being a Canadian designer (once upon a time), I know first hand how hard it is to make a name for yourself and be successful. I love that Canadian fashion is celebrated by the community on a local scale and praised by the global fashion crowd, too. My line, erinkleinberg, was carried everywhere from Holt Renfrew in Canada to Barneys, Saks and Neiman's in the US, to Lane Crawford in Asia. It was really gratifying to see my stuff sell around the world alongside other Canadian designers like Erdem, Mark Fast, Smythe and Jeremy Laing. It's a true testament to the fact that Canadian designers are having an influence on the global fashion market." Read on for more stylish Canada Day celebration details! Stephanie Mark Canuck-style celebration: Canada Day is all about spending quality time with my family and boyfriend, too. We usually head up north to my cottage or escape to Montauk. Every summer I rent a house out there with my friends. I can't tell you how much I anticipate that trip each year. I've been meaning to take up surfing, so fingers crossed this works out. There's so much to do and see (and eat!) in Montauk. My friend actually just opened a food truck - my latest obsession - called 'Montaco Truck'. Genius, right? I advise everyone to go! - and try the fish tacos and mint limenade." Candian fashion love: "I love that Canadian fashion has really grown over the last few years - and, rapidly! I worked in New York for a long time - at Intermix, ELLE and Harper's Bazaar - and it was always refreshing to see the market embrace a new Canadian designer. Both the retail and editorial fields have started to take notice of the names coming from Canada. I also love that Canadian fashion is really supportive. The Canadian publications have really helped propel us forward since day one. It's so great to have the love and support from your home turf! I think we realized the magnitude of this when we collaborated with Holt Renfrew for our "You've Been Coveteur'd" exhibit. So many people turned out to celebrate the launch and it was amazing to see and feel the love from our hometown. Canadians definitely live up to their rep of being the nicest people - at least for the most part!" Jay Strut, Toronto-based fashion blogger

This year however, depending on how things go, I might be cheering on Portugal or Italy for the EuroCup title, so where better to share your home country's pride than in the most multicultural city in the world - Toronto, Canada!" Canadian fashion love: "What I love about Canadian fashion is the variety. Being so multicultural in population means so much more versatility. I love walking down Yonge Street here in Toronto and taking in all the wonderful sights, styles and fashions." Natasha Koifman, president of Toronto and New York-based PR agency, NKPR
Image courtesy of Natasha Koifman.Canuck-style celebration: "My favourite way to spend Canada Day is at home by the pool, with my family, playing with my two black labs, BBQing and simply just being able to 'be'." Canadian fashion love: "I love Canadian fashion! I think Canada has some of the most talented fashion designers in the world. What I love about Canadian fashion is that designers like Greta Constantine and Erdem are not afraid to have edge and yet create with femininity - everything from the styling to the fabric. I spend half my time in NYC and I still find more than half my wardrobe is from Canadian-born designers." Stacey McKenzie, model and runway coach
Image courtesy of Stacey McKenzie (wearing Arthur Mendonça).Canuck-style celebration: "My FAVE way to celebrate Canada Day is to go to Pride Week, which I'm a big supporter of, and from there, barbecue party-hopping to stuff my face with hotdogs and burgers! Yes, I'm a model that loves to eat! And finally, off to the beach to watch the fireworks!" Canadian fashion love: "I love to support Canadian designers/fashion because I feel they are underrated. There's so many talented Canadian designers and as a lover of everything fashion, I never hesitate to rock Canada!" Rachel Matthews Burton, fashion stylist
Image courtesy of Rachel Matthews Burton.Canuck-style celebration: The picture above captivates how I love to spend Canada day - with family, being goofy and playing games. This is me (foreground), my husband Jason (left), my brother-in-law Adam and sister-in-law Adele, doing what we love best - having fun. We love to play games together, like scrabble, badminton, baseball, bocce ball, whatever we can cram into a weekend." Fashionable Canadian escape: "Our utopia is where this picture was taken, at my in-laws' berry farm in Prince Edward County. It's gorgeous there - peaceful, serene and always fun with family. It's in those moments that I feel most relaxed and happy and very grateful to be living in Canada." Sharon Ng Hayes, fashion blogger, The Backseat Stylers
Image courtesy of Sharon Ng Hayes.Canuck-style celebration: "One word: ribfest! There's no better way to celebrate Canada Day than by gorging on barbecue ribs, corn on the cob, pulled pork sandwiches, funnel cakes...did I mention the ribs? I'm as serious about my food as I am about my fashion." Canadian fashion love: "I love that there's such incredible talent across the country and so many collections I can get really excited about for any given season. From chic, office-ready garb by Pink Tartan and Lida Baday to stunning red-carpet looks by Greta Constantine and Lucian Matis, and from wardrobe essentials by LINE Knitwear and Smythe Les Vestes to glamorous luxuries by VAWK and Arthur Mendonça, Canadian fashion designers have us covered for every occasion. And at any price point too - I would be remiss if I didn't mention the cheap yet stylish thrills I get from Joe Fresh and MOON." Julio Reyes, founder and managing editor, Fashionights
Photography by Drasko Bogdanovic.Canuck-style celebration: "Normally, Pride weekend falls on Canada Day and I'm torn between what to celebrate - so I celebrate both. I'm a proud Canadian and also proud to be gay and I think it's important to enjoy in the festivities of both! But to be quite honest, give me anything to party to and I'm in!" Canadian fashion love: "I love that Canadian designers like to be a little more unconventional with their creativity. The usual norms that follow other designers tend to be thrown out the door and they aren't afraid to take risks. Being Canadian - and we have fairly cold winters - I love to see the textures and mixed fabrications designers use to create that quintessential 'Canadiana' aesthetic." Robin Kay, president, Fashion Design Council of Canada
Image courtesy of Robin Kay.Canuck-style celebration: "The Canada Day holiday celebration weekend has always been very meaningful for me. I look forward each year as I take my place upon the great Northern runway - the dock. To be once again a VIP guest of this singular summertime Canadian collection is the epitome of haute couture au naturel. The masterful colour palette of Mother Nature's wardrobe puts my solo fashion mission into a global retrospective. I am present at the freshest of forms in a sought-after dream of river and rock, lake and land. The end of the dock is my own front row as symbolic styles of the season's suits strut before me; gently swaying skirts in varied hue of leafy greens atop the bodice of a boundless baby blue sky. I am surrounded by endless classic reminders of true inspiration; I am fully renewed by the powerful presence of nature - calmed and supported by this reality no matter what. And as I dive into the psychedelic rainbow droplets from the landing glide of the herons, so perfectly happy to lay still within my own fashion forest. And drenched by a million muted shades of watery grays and afloat on this backdrop of lake water flats, I erupt with the splashes of applause sounding so like the silence of serenity." Canadian fashion love: "Having worked in the Canadian fashion industry for over 40 years and essentially the last 14 years as president of the Fashion Design Council of Canada and executive director of World MasterCard Fashion Week, I can state this fact: there is Canadian Style. Focusing on this niche, highlighting and encouraging designers to be who they are as unique fresh Canadians, not copy cats, is a very clear mandate for me. Having built our global Canadian Fashion Week since 1999 has given me the understanding of the vitality of our own Canadian fashion landscape and how critical it is to isolate and nurture our own Canadian designers."

Three BBJ quintets were examined by officials from the London-based Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (ABRSM) in Medan on Sept 5. Two brass quintets were examined in the intermediate category and one in the primary category. All passed. Read about it here.
On Indonesia's Independence Day, August 17, 2014 BBJ gave a special performance at Medan's Sun Plaza.
BBJ members attended a special music camp in Brastagi organised by the Salvation Army's North Sumatra division from July 29 to August 3, 2014. Apart from about 60 brass players, there were also 20 choir members and about 10 others learning to play the timbrel. Read about it here.
In December 2013 BBJ travelled to Cirebon in Java to participate in the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Salvation Army's work in the city.
BBJ sent band trainer Ganda Sinaga to Bekasi corps to help establish a Salvation Army band in this satellite city of Jakarta in early December 2013. The move came only a few months after BBJ sent two band trainers to Surabaya in July 2013.
Second hand instruments were provided from Singapore on loan. Should the project be successful, these will then be donated.
BBJ tuba player Lasnointer Marbun is already in the process of establishing an SA band in Yogyakarta. Read about it here.
Yogyakarta (Yogya), long renowned as a centre of classical Javanese fine art and culture, now has a Salvation Army band!
The 13-member band based at the Yogya corps practices twice a week (Thursdays 7-9pm and Saturdays 8-9.30pm) and is being taught by BBJ tuba player Lasnointer Marbun.
Regular visitors to this website will remember that Lasnointer (Noin to his friends) is currently studying music at Yogya's Indonesian Institute of Fine Arts (ISI) after his lack of fluency in English forced him to abandon plans to study at Singapore's Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Noin's living expenses and university fees are being paid for by a sponsor in Singapore. The band was formed in September 2011, just two months after Noin arrived in Yogyakarta to begin his course at ISI.
Yogya, a city of about 500,000 people, is one of the most popular tourist destinations on Java. It is also the capital city of the province of the Yogyakarta Special Region, located in the southern part of Central Java.
There were no brass instruments at the corps, or course, so we established a system in which I would bring second-hand instruments with me each time I visited Jakarta to research stories for my newspaper. Noin would then make the 9-hour train journey to Jakarta to meet me and collect them.
The current instrumentation of the band is as follows: Four cornets, three alto horns, three baritones (actually euphoniums), two trombones and one E-flat tuba. Seven of the learners are corps (church) members, while five others are teenage residents of the Salvation Army's boys home in the city. Efan, a trombone player and one of Noin's fellow students at ISI, sometimes helps him teach the band.
Here is a photograph of part of the cornet section:
Music stands are in short supply. But I will be carrying several with me when I meet Noin in Jakarta during August. The band could also do with another E-flat tuba (B-flat tubas are too expensive for my budget), but we hope to remedy that problem sometime next year (2012).
Here is part of the lower brasses:
The band had its first public performance two months ago when it played at a church youth meeting.
The repertoire of the Yogya band is still very limited, but Noin reports that they can play "Whisper a Prayer" as well as several tunes from the Salvation Army's band tune book, including numbers 199 (Anything for Jesus) and 16 (Deep Harmony).
The formation of the Yogya band follows the establishment of a band at the Salvation Army Boys Home in Bali in late 2010.
BBJ is no longer the only functioning Salvation Army band in Indonesia. Long may it remain so!
Additional photographs of the Yogya band will be available in the BBJ photo gallery in the coming weeks.

Republican Jane Norton is the pick for U.S. Senate by the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
The late endorsement comes as more than 30,000 people already have cast ballots, and after the Chamber's Political Action Committee interviewed three of the four candidates.
The Chamber was set to announce its endorsement of Norton today at 11 a.m. at its office at 6 S. Tejon St.
"Quite honestly, we weren't going to take a position in the U.S. Senate race and make a decision for the general [election] after the results of the primary," Finley says in an interview. "But they felt [Norton] warranted an endorsement."
Asked about why the Chamber is announcing the choice after many ballots area already cast, she says, "It's never too late. It helps bring attention and helps create action. We'd rather do it now than not at all."
Early voting continues through Friday. Primary Day polling takes place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Gothenburg wins vote for ICS world congress
Pressmeddelande • Jan 29, 2016 13:47 CET
Gothenburg beat both Paris and Glasgow when researchers from International Continence Society recently voted on where to hold their world congress in 2019. Outstanding research at Sahlgrenska Academy, support from industry and a strong promotional video won their votes.
"Gothenburg is a fine city for congresses and the research that is taking place here and in the rest of Sweden is exceptional," says Professor Ian Milsom from Sahlgrenska Academy, who will chair the meeting.
Incontinence is a big problem that affects half a billion people around the world. Once a year, top researchers gather from all over the world to exchange knowledge in this field.Last year they met in Montreal, and later this year they will gather in Tokyo. But in 2019 it will be the turn of the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre in Gothenburg to host the International Continence Society's (ICS) annual congress.
It is unusual for a large international organisation to ask its members to vote on where they want to hold their world medical congress. But when ICS did just that, Gothenburg won almost half the votes. In other words, almost as many votes as its two competitors, Glasgow and Paris combined.
"Nine candidate cities applied and we chose three of them to present themselves on the website in a short video. I think the video that Gothenburg presented was the deciding factor," says Ian Milsom.
Gothenburg's candidacy was also supported by the SCA Group, which produces incontinence protection.
"SCA is a leading global company in hygiene and forestry. Because we have a large research and development unit in Gothenburg that specialises in incontinence, it is enormously valuable to us to have a world congress on the subject held here.It is also important considering the specialist research in this subject that is carried out in the region," says Margareta Lehmann, Business Area Manager for Incontinence Care at SCA.
Gothenburg, City of Meetings, has had a very successful year, hosting many large congresses and attracting several new meetings to the city.
"The new investments that have been made to increase hotel capacity, are making Gothenburg an attractive choice to a growing number of meeting organisers. We have moved up a level as a City of Meetings," says Annika Hallman, Meetings Manager at Gothenburg Convention Bureau.

MathematicsFor decades, studies have shown that students who take advanced courses, particularly in math, generally achieve at higher levels, attend and finish college at higher rates and earn more as adults than their peers who take lower-level courses. Among the results:
"Finishing a course beyond the level of Algebra 2 more than doubles the odds that a student who enters postsecondary education will complete a bachelor's degree."—Clifford Adelman, "Tools in the Toolbox," 1999 analysis of longitudinal data from the federal High School & Beyond survey.
"The sequence of math courses a student takes in high school is even more important than socioeconomic status in predicting a student's odds of finishing college."—Clifford Adelman, "Tools in the Toolbox," 1999 analysis of longitudinal data from the federal High School & Beyond survey.
"More than half the workers in the highest-paying jobs (those earning more than $40,000 a year) have two or more credits at the Algebra 2 level or higher. That compared with 27 percent of workers earning $25,000 to $40,000 annually and 20 percent of those at the bottom of the earnings distribution."—Anthony P. Carnevale and Donna M. Desrochers, Educational Testing Service analysis of data from the National Educational Longitudinal Survey.

From the back cover:
"Unlike ordinary, wimpy role-playing games where keeping track of ammo and passing off two-shots-a-minute from behind cover are the norm, this one is overloaded with larger-than-life heroes who speed into a roomful of armed men on a forklift with out-rifles and contempo tunes thundering loudly; who watch an enemy jet explode 20 feed away, then causlaly make dinner plans with the attractive foreign beneficiaries of their heroism via subtitles.
That's right! No more boring 'realism', no tedious modifiers, no grim storytelling, no holds barred! Just outrageous plots, wild action, and rip-roaring fun that delivers all the cinematic excitement right to you!
Extreme Vengeance is an 'explosive action-adventure role-playing extravaganza' in one book. All you need are two or three fellow stars, a hunger for action, and a pile of six-sided dice."

It may have been over 80 degrees in the midwest this past Saturday, but we still couldn't resist a trip to the cider mill and pumpkin patch. It was our first time to the Louisburg Cider Mill and it did not disappoint. They had it all, cider, apple cider donuts, both of which you could see being made and delicious root beer. They had a 10-acre pumpkin patch, the real kind where you pick your own pumpkin, not the kind where they've picked them and laid them all out for you. They also had a huge, 10- acre corn maze and a play area which included this absolutely amazing trampoline thingy, seriously, so cool. :) We highly recommend it and will make it a tradition to take Henry every year!
It was the perfect weekend for the cider mill with good friends. We had such a wonderful time together!

Childhood memories is like sitting with your crown, giving you what you want. I have what I want to have, I love what I have. God gave me a family that treated me as a real princess. I may not see it in my surroundings, but I can see it in act. Parents which is very supportive, loving with each other. No mosquito can harm their little girl. Grandparents that will do anything just to make their apo smile.
See, how blessed am I? God gave me everything I want to have, when I was little. I can still recall my Yaya Talya. Hayyy. She's a person who will do anything for her alaga, for her loved ones. She is willing to sacrifice the distance just to provide something for her family. I salute her for that. There, I began to define the word: PROBLEMS.
After my so merry days, why did God let me experienced this? Ain't that bad? Uhmm. My Mom went to Dubai for us. I dont know what to do,when they told me their plans. Its like "Huwaaaaat? Seriously?" Accept it. Thats the fact. After my 10 years, staying with her, Bye little girl. Groow.
After a year, Papa decided to go with Mama. He will make sure she's safe, and for sake of our education and future. They'll do it for us. It may be Ouchie, but nothing can change the truth. It is like God made me carry the burdens of the Earth. I feel so stupid that time, blaming them how could they leave us? They don't love me. Narcissism prevails on my mind.
Grade 4. Grade 5. Grade 6.
For 3 years, I managed to be a model for my siblings. I may not be the perfect one, but at least I tried to. I experienced a lot of experiences, and luckily to passed it. Half of my elementary was really a tough one. I didn't even imagine that I can do this, living without my parents. When I need them, I can't immediately have their call. Crying is the only way I can let it out. Even though, secretly, it helped. So, Yes. I am a proud graduate of my Alma Mater: Duenas Central Elementary School.
Another stage came. Another problem haven't been solved. From a rural school transferred to a urban is not a funny one. It's getting on my nerves, and I can't imagine the stares my classmates will give to me. Hahaha. But, I guess. SPED-ISEC is a school for all. Im proud to be a SPEDer. And that was the start of being a student.
Lots of adjustments I've experienced in this Freshmen years of ours. In fact, I became more independent. I'm staying with my Aunt, and studying myself alone. This is not an easy thing as you think, this is the time ENVY kept on ticking me. Looking at people who has mother to caress before and going to school. Seeing parents who are there attending the meetings of their children. Unfair, that's what I always think. But i know, its wrong.
- A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
The people, God made as representative on the persons not physically beside me. They are a bundle of joy. A smile, every time they give it unto you, you can always pay them off too. Friends are the person who you can always talk to, and do whatever folly you have. The best part is, knowing that you bestfriend can give all her honesty skills on you, and not getting envy for your achievements. Love and friendship they will always hold on.
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.

First published with The Courier – http://www.thecourier.com.au/story/4445116/happy-days-for-local-comedian-hayward/?cs=62
Ballarat teacher Justin Hayward doesn't have the typical 'first day of school' photo with his children.
Instead his wife snapped him pretending to be on the phone laughing, as he stands next to his exasperated daughter.
"Last year I stood next to them looking at my watch because I was running late," he says.
'Hap' Hayward is not just a school teacher; he's a comedian who reached the Raw Comedy competition finals about two years ago on his debut.
"I used to write songs and they were very sad, so a housemate started calling me 'Happy Hayward'. It was born to be used for comedy, but it took me 20-odd years to use it."
Despite being a school teacher for 12 years, he has always had a secret desire to do stand-up comedy. It wasn't until he was about 43 he decided to give it a go.
So what was the trigger?
"A midlife crisis, I reckon," says Hap Hayward.
He described his first time on stage as incredibly frightening.
"I think I know the attraction of stand-up comedy now. You are in the depths of your fear but once you start it is almost the opposite feeling.
"You start to feel an exhilaration with the first few laughs you get. It's just such a great feeling: from one extreme to another. I think it's a bit like extreme sports for some people.
"But I love it. I'll hate it beforehand and love it straight afterwards."
Hayward doesn't regret it took him so long to give comedy a go.
"In many ways I've always felt that you come to a place at a certain time for a reason. All my life experiences now make me comfortable enough to share them through comedy.
"I don't think I would have had that same feeling in my 20s or even my 30s. But I think now is the perfect time to not care so much about failing."
For some, teaching and comedy might seem worlds apart, but Hap Hayward finds links.
"When you're a teacher you have an audience every day, and a pretty tough one at that," he says.
As an English teacher, he loves words and he loves storytelling – aspects both transferable to comedy.
"I do love storytelling. Any one of my friends and family members could be a comedian because we are always telling stories to each other and we are always laughing at each other," he says.
"You get a lot of laughter out of family life. You have to laugh at yourself and each other.
You can see Hayward at Hap Hayward's Guilty Pleasures, a mixture of trivia and comedy, at The Eastern Hotel in March.

6 Reasons I've Come to Love My Microwave
In my 20s, I'd use my trusty microwave to heat Chinese food leftovers or to make nachos on flimsy paper plates. By the time I hit 30, I thought I'd outgrown using this pedestrian appliance as a cooking method. It sat cold on my countertop, serving instead as a makeshift breadbox.
How Moving in with My Partner Changed My Relationship with My Microwave
Then, two years ago, I moved in with my partner, Mike. His kitchen was equipped with a small toaster oven (great for blueberry Eggos, but terrible if, say, you want to cook an entire frozen pizza), an electric stovetop, a microwave, and that's it. No oven.
At first I ignored his microwave, even though it's quite prominent in our tiny kitchen. I wasn't impressed with the dark brown specks burned into the bottom and sides. There's not even a rotating glass plate! I used it as a last resort — usually just to heat up a mug of water for tea.
But, over time, something shifted. I started to rely on the microwave for more and more of my food preparation, and I can honestly say I've come to love this kitchen appliance. Sure, it'll never compare to other methods of cooking when it comes to developing deep flavor, but that's okay — I've come to terms with that. It's become an important, useful tool all the same for everything else it can do.
Here are six reasons why I love my microwave.
1. It makes cooking side dishes a snap.
My microwave is a side-dish ninja. It can cook up Trader Joe's frozen brown rice in three minutes flat. Steamed veggies? Easy-peasy.
Bonus: Because I can steam veggies without using a bunch of pots and pans like I would on the electric stovetop, I'm preparing veggie sides more often, too.
Nuke those veggies!
2. The built-in timer is a lifesaver.
I use the built-in timer on my microwave almost every day. I'm always setting it for keeping track of cooking fish, pasta, or anything else that's finicky. Yes, I know my phone has a timer, but then I have to have my phone in my kitchen. Plus, I'm a lot more willing to touch the microwave buttons with dirty fingers than my phone.
3. It's the answer to easy eggs.
Clearly the microwave can warm leftovers quicker than an oven, and it can also soften butter with a few quick bursts of heat. But where it really shines is making eggs in a snap, with no additional cooking fat required. Omelets, scrambled, poached; however you like it, it can be done in under a minute.

4. It's a decent defroster.
A 14-second zap defrosts bagels perfectly before toasting them. And you can defrost meats safely, too. When you're in a rush, the ability to defrost dinner quickly is downright wonderful.

5. It's a secret cleaning weapon.
Aside from assisting with food preparation, microwaves can also sanitize plastic cutting boards and sponges in a flash.
Related: How To Clean Your Microwave Naturally with Just a Lemon
6. It can warm up other things besides food.
When I'm feeling under the weather, I use my microwave to warm up my aromatherapy neck pillow. I also use it to warm up my eye mask before bed. You definitely can't do that with an oven!

Magazine article Artforum International
William Leavitt: Theater Objects
Article excerpt
Three times a year Artforum looks ahead to the coming season. The following survey previews forty-five shows opening around the world between January and April.
William Leavitt: Theater Objects
March 13-July 3
Curated by Bennett Simpson and Ann Goldstein
WILLIAM LEAVITT IS FINALLY having a retrospective, and in his hometown. There is some justice in the world.
I came to Los Angeles in 1970, when the dominant modes were Ferns Gallery, Light and Space, and plastics. I felt isolated but gradually met a few other arriere-garde artists: Bas Jan Ader, Michael Asher, David Askevold, Guy de Cointet, Ger van Elk, Richard Jackson, David Lamelas, Allen Ruppersberg, William Wegman, and Bill Leavitt.
Bill's subjects are almost everything I hate about Los Angeles: patios, sliding glass doors, tract homes, etc. I've always said anything can be art, but he has done what I didn't think possible. He may be the Edward Hopper of Los Angeles. He is a master of the overlooked and inconsequential. Organized by MOCA curator Bennett Simpson and by Ann Goldstein, former MOCA senior curator and now director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, this exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring contributions from the curators, art historian Annette Leddy, and artist-writers Erik Bluhm and Thomas Lawson--providing the kind of comprehensive scholarly overview and examination that is a master's due. …

Belle Grove Plantation, Middletown, Virginia
The above picture is the facade of Belle Grove Plantation's manor house. I have been a docent here giving house tours for about two months. Belle Grove was completed in 1797 by Major Issac Hite and is located in Middletown, Virginia. The house is listed on the National Register and is apart of the Historic Trust. Here is the link:http://www.bellegrove.org/index.php.
I am not going to get into the history; you can research that yourself. I am going to tell you that the serenity and beauty will soothe you. It has, at any rate, helped me be less homesick for northwestern Georgia and my family farm, Longfield. My new best friend Vickie Mae Puckett, I know we are somehow related as my great-grandmother was a Puckett with family ties in Virginia, got me involved with this historic house. Last Summer she gave Scott and I a behind the scenes tour and I completely fell in love with the house. It is beautifully situated on a slight knoll overlooking the landscape. The house was completed in 1797 in what was still frontier area of our budding nation. Belle Grove is at once elegant and simple.
I approached Vickie in January about volunteering and she sponsored me in February. I have been giving house tours for the last two months. I love being the host for however few hours to visitors seeing this beautiful property. I always hoped my family farm in Georgia would convey this feeling to guests. I think at times it did. I was always so proud of our house and grounds there and enjoyed the times I was able to welcome people to it, even if my parents were rather reluctant.
When I was thirteen years old after some years of looking my parents bought 27 acres of property in Bartow County Georgia. They had decided to become poultry farmers. Actually the poultry farm was Daddy's idea. Mother really never wanted any part of it though it fell to her to run it. Despite her unhappiness at doing so , Mother consistently won awards for the quality of chicken she "raised."The land they purchased was in an area known as Old Cass Station. There are some railroad tracks near the property and in antebellum times there was a train station there. This is where passengers would disembark for Cassville, Georgia in those days a sizeable town and destination. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassville,_Georgia After my parents purchased the property my maternal grandparents came up for a visit. We were shocked to learn that my parents purchase were part of an original 2000 acre estate owned by my Grandfather, Papa's family.
As with most families, after the matriarch Grandmother Cox died, there were some hurt feelings over inheritances and final wishes. This resulted in my Grandfather and his siblings to be estranged for over 20 years. Someone I know once remarked to me at a funeral,"Death should bring us together but it usually pulls us apart." I was a very young man then, grieving at my own Grandmother's funeral and didn't completely understand what she meant. Now I do. It was incomprehensible to me, at the age of thirteen,that my Mother had never been to this old home place of Papa's. Later after I aged and began to experience more death and the resulting aftermath I began to understand my friend's comment and why Mother was unfamiliar with this beautiful property and why I am now becoming a stranger to it as well.
The view to the left is from Belle Grove Looking out over the lawns and pastures. When I am waiting for visitors between tours and stand in the front hall, I feel for a moment what many previous owners must have felt here, a sense of belonging. It may be fleeting but in my own small way I am fortunate to be a part of this place as I was at Longfield.
