On looking fabulous at 67:
I think looking stylish at any age you have to feel comfortable in your own skin. You have to feel that this is who you are. At any age, including my age now, I always look to see what suits me best in terms of cut and style and how I can make the most of the features that I still feel OK about and sort of hide the ones that I think have maybe had their moment.

lets try that full bladder thing
Submitted by
, Straight Female - canada
Karen and Brian had been
for a few weeks. Both were young, slim and very horny. Karen had a secret passion for full bladder sex, the fuller the better. Last evening, they had gone out to a party and Karen ended up spending the night at Brians place.
As they both had had far too much wine to drink, Karen began confessing her fascination with all things pee and her love of having and holding a full bladder all day long.
Karen opened her eyes. It was morning. Brian was next to her in a deep sleep. Her bladder ached. Her pussy was twitching. Her clitoris was erect and her vagina was slippery wet and her urethra throbbed.
Oh my God, she thought. Ive told Brian about my fetish, hes going to think Im damaged goods or just plain weird. What made me do that?
Brian stirred, he was waking up. She moved her hand to his penis. He was hard. She gently ran her hand over his bladder. I have to take a piss in the worst way, he said urgently. Or maybe not, he said. Maybe we should just explore your fantasy this morning.
Karen turned beet red, she was so embarrassed. She tried to come up with some cleaver quip, to gloss over the situation, but all she could say was a very hesitant Maybe, but it has to be okay with you.
Brain began talking, Karen, I was so turned on by your fantasies last night, Ive been dreaming about them all night. I should be fair to you and tell you about my little problem. Karen looked at him not knowing what would come next.
Brain began, Ive always been totally consumed by women peeing. Nothing turns me on more than to see a women desperate to pee, or watching her pee or to feel her hard full bladder. And most of all I love full bladder sex. But my problem is that as soon as I cum with a full bladder, within seconds after, I have no control of my bladder. It just empties."
When I was with my last
, I didnt tell her about my fetish, and I was very careful to always take a leak before we had sex. Except, one day, it was too tempting for me, I was dying for some full bladder fun. I didnt pee first. We had great sex, she came first and I came a few minutes after. When I did, I knew that I wouldnt be able to control that urge and spasm, and I tried to pull my penis out of her and make a dash to the toilet, but before I could move, while I was still inside her when my bladder just exploded. And as I pulled out, I was pissing so hard, all over her pussy, then her stomach. I tried to stop it with two hands, I couldnt. To make matters worse, my bladder was so full, that I pissed almost a litre all over her.
Karen felt her pussy throb. She squeezed her legs together. What did she do? Karen asked. She was furious. Told me to get out and that she never wanted to see me again, Brian said. So, Ive been really nervous about you, that is, until now. Im not sure if you noticed, but I would go to the toilet and make sure that every drop was out before we started sex. I always kept a towel right next to me, so when some piss did leak out of me after sex, I would hide it in the towel.
Karen moved closer to Brain and took his still erect penis and rubbed it up and down against her slit.
Brain, you pissing in me uncontrollably would be such a turn on for me. There is nothing that turns me on more than seeing a guy with a small wet spot on his pants, thats usually all I can get to see, having you piss on my clit... with no control.... she drifted off. Karen rubbed the tip of his penis firmly against her clit.
Brian looked over at the clock. I want to do this so much, and I want to do it right, but my room mate will be here in a few minutes, can we drive over to your place?
Lets get dressed, and leave now, my place empty this weekend and I have all the equipment that we might need.
Equipment? said Brian. Yes, bed protectors, towels, diapers, pads, urine collection bottles from the hospital, vibrators...... Karen paused to think of what else.
Im impressed said Brian as he squeezed his penis, But lets move it,
I have to piss
so bad.
So they left Brians place, both still holding their morning piss. They stopped at a drive through for two large coffees. Karens place was about a 20 minute drive and both were confident that there was plenty of holding time left before they had a problem. They sipped their coffees and chatted along the way. Every few minutes, Karen would put her hands between her legs and give herself a rub. Her bladder was aching and distended, she was used to that.
What was different this time, besides being so horny, was that her urethra was throbbing. She allowed her hand to brush over her clitoris, and her pee hole would spasm. She was now feeling the urgency of her morning bladder and the large cup of coffee. But they were only a few blocks away.
Karen looked over at Brian. Could you hurry, please, I think I may not make it to the house. Brian rubbed the front of his pants, then reached in and adjusted his penis.
Karens pussy was twitching, she was so turned on, and to see Brians adjustment had moved the penis so that the tip was now sticking out of the top of his pants. There was a tiny shinny spot of pre-cum, just sitting on top of his pee hole. This made Karen lose concentration, she gasped as a squirt of hot urine had escaped into her panties. She looked down and her light blue slacks to examine the wet spot, she hadnt noticed that Brian had to stop the car as a truck was taking his time trying to reverse into a loading dock and was blocking the road.
Her pants had a dark spot about the size of a tennis ball in the center of her crotch. Brian looked at the darkened area and squeezed his penis again, and fidgeted in this seat. Karen then jammed both hands in her crotch. Brain, Im really sorry, Im about to totally pee my pants, all I can do to stop it is to have an orgasm. Once Ive cum, I absolutely cant pee for about 20 minutes after. That will give us enough time for that truck to move and for us to get home.
Here? Brian asked. Yeah, right now, I am so horny. Im going to undo my pants and put this towel over me, and you just rub me the way you always do.
Brian, reached over and slid his hand deep into her pants. The material was still hot and wet, her cunt was so slippery, he began to move his hand upward. He felt her hard clitoris sticking out about a half inch from mound. He pressed the palm of his hand against it. He moved down about an inch and found her pee hole, he pressed against it and Karen instinctively squeezed her legs and moaned.
Just then, the car behind them gave a honk and Brian realized that the truck had moved, and he could continue driving. Just hang on Karen, a few seconds longer, I can see your place from here. Karen opened her eyes. She was almost home, she made it. They pulled into the driveway.
Karen said, Lets get just get inside and go straight to the bedroom and take off our clothes. The bed has a protective cover, so no need to head for the bathroom first. Maybe you can watch me piss a bit first, or if its alright I can piss with you inside me, cause
I cant hold it
Karen interrupted herself, Oh no, Im leaking some more, I cant close the muscles tight enough, my pee is coming out, my panties are getting soaked.
The car hadnt even come to a full stop when Karen jumped out and ran for the front door. She was holding her crotch with two hands, and the dark stain that was tennis ball size was now twice as big. Brian was right behind her.
Then, suddenly Karen stopped dead in her tracks. Brain passed her and was already at the door with the keys in his hand, about to put it into the lock. He looked over at Karen about two feet away from him. Her legs were twisted, both of her hands jammed between her legs on the inside of her pants.
Karen had her finger firmly on her urethra, she held tight. She started to sneeze. Those flower bushes at the entrance to her ....

Spontaneous Poetics - 135 (Gertrude Stein)
[Gertrude Stein - Portrait of Gertrude Stein by Felix Valloton (1907)]
Student: Where do you think that (Gertrude) Stein figures into this lineage of voices that you've presented to us from (Walt) Whitman through (William Carlos) Williams, or...
AG: Well, I was hoping that Phil(ip) (Whalen) would teach Stein at one point or other, because Phil taught... originally. He's the best Stein voice I heard, or reader, (that) I('ve) heard - [to Philip Whalen] Are you going to be talking about that at all?
Philip Whalen: Yeah, I plan to. ..
AG: Okay. My own thought about it is that she's actually the intersection point of literature and consciousness expansion, or consciousness awareness, or 20th Century consciousness investigation. Being a student of William James, who was interested in "Varieties of Religious Experience", she had a somewhat scientific approach to language and (to) the functioning of the mind in relation to language. And interesting notions of writing in the present moment, eliminating all reference to past history or future fantasy, but dwelling in an absolute present, grammatically, syntactically, phenomenologically. The exact method, I think we better leave to Phil (to explain). You once... What was the essay you once read me?
Philip Whalen: "Composition as Explanation"
AG: I know. A little essay called "Composition as Explanation". I don't know if we have that one here. Do you know?
Philip Whalen: All that material was..
AG: Larry (to Larry Fagin). Do we have Stein here? Much? Well, where is that published, "Composition as Explanation"?
Philip Whalen: You can get it in the little Penguin volume, sort of (a) Selected Writings, a bright yellow cover on it [Look at Me Now and Here I Am - Writings and Lectures 1909-1945] But it's also in an American thing from Random House, a paperback of Selected Writings - I think it's in both of them.
AG: It's the most direct explanation of her intentions that I know.
Philip Whalen: The really quick and thorough book is Lectures in America, which is also in paperback, and....

This is a salad for fish lovers, full of flavour from the meaty tuna, briny fish and piquant capers. The saltiness of the anchovies is tempered by a rich, creamy dressing and the breadcrumbs add nutty, garlicky crunch.
140g mesclun or other young salad leaves
3 spring onions or a small shallot
a tablespoon of salted capers
80g best quality tinned tuna in olive oil e.g. Callipo
a clove of garlic juice from half a lemon
3 tablespoons crème fraîche
a table spoon extra virgin olive oil
4 anchovy fillets
2 teaspoons olive oil (use the oil from the anchovy tin if you have it)
2 heaped tablespoons of breadcrumbs or Japanese panko crumbs
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Wash and spin dry the salad leaves and put them in a large bowl. Finely slice the onions or shallot, rinse and dry the capers and add both to the leaves.
Put the tuna with its oil into a small bowl, crush the garlic and use a fork to mash it into the tuna to make a smooth paste. Mix in the lemon juice, crème fraîche and olive oil and stir to combine.
Place a small pan over a low heat and add the anchovy fillets in their oil. As they heat up they will start to disintegrate into the oil. Add the breadcrumbs and the cayenne pepper and stir with a fork to coat the breadcrumbs in the anchovy oil mixture. Cook until the crumbs are browned and crisp then remove from the heat.
Toss the leaves in the tuna dressing, sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and serve immediately. Possibly with a cold glass of Chablis.

Patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing eye diseases (retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma) that can lead to vision loss and blindness. Diabetic eye problems often develop without any noticeable vision loss or pain, so significant damage may already be present by the time patients notice any symptoms. Early detection of diabetic eye disease can help prevent permanent damage.
Diabetic eye problems develop from high blood sugar levels, which can cause damage to blood vessels in the eye. Over 40% of diabetics will develop some form of eye disease in their lifetime. The risk of developing eye problems can be reduced through regular eye exams and by keeping blood sugar levels under control through a healthy diet and regular exercise.
If a person's diabetes affects the eye, it is called diabetic retinopathy. This is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina or the development of abnormal new blood vessels. When diabetic retinopathy is discovered, the ophthalmologist considers several factors before deciding if observation or treatment is most appropriate. If treatment is necessary, the most common procedure is a retinal laser.
What is Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the lining of blood vessels in the retina. These damaged blood vessels develop thinning and may leak fluid, protein, or blood. Additionally, blood vessels may become blocked and this can lead to additional retinal damage due to a lack of oxygen to these tissues. As new blood vessels develop to compensate for this, they can also leak and cause hemorrhages, scarring, and permanent damage to the retina. The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy increases the longer a person has diabetes and the poorer they control their blood sugar levels.
Types of Diabetic Retinopathy
There are several ways to classify diabetic eye disease. It is usually divided into:
Non-proliferative (background) retinopathy
This is the earlier stage of diabetic retinopathy. In this stage, fine blood vessels leak blood, protein, and fluid. This may cause the retina to hemorrhage, swell, or develop protein deposits called exudates. Sight is usually not seriously affected. However, it can rapidly lead to more advanced stages if not treated properly.
Proliferative retinopathy
This consists of the more serious changes that occur when new, abnormal blood vessels begin growing on the surface of the optic nerve or the retina. These new blood vessels are weaker and more fragile and may rupture and cause bleeding inside the eye. This can lead to severe scarring, retinal detachment, and glaucoma.
The onset and progression of diabetic disease does always follow any pattern. Also, it is possible to develop both forms at the same time, in one or in both eyes.
Detection and Diagnosis
A comprehensive eye examination and appropriate treatment by an ophthalmologist is the best protection against eye damage due to diabetes. This should include a dilated eye exam to examine the stuctures of the eye and will focus on the retina, iris, optic nerve, and eye pressures. Additional testing may be done to evaluate retinal thickness (ocular computed tomography) and evaluate the status of the retinal blood vessels (fluorescein angiography).
When diabetic retinopathy is discovered, your doctor will consider several factors before deciding if observation or treatment is most appropriate. Treatment for early stages of diabetic retinopath usually focuses on maintaining blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol levels under good control. When ocular treatment is needed, a laser alone, or in combination with a series of intra-ocular injections, is usually used to seal or shrink the abnormal and leaking blood vessels.
In very severe cases, an intra-ocular surgery can be done that cleans out and removes and bleeding inside the eye (vitrectomy). This is a major ocular sugery and may restore some vision, but is primarily done to prevent further ocular damage.
Diabetic Laser Treatments
PRP (Panretinal Photocoagulation)
This is recommended when patients have abnormal blood vessels growing in the eye due to diabetes. These blood vessels are very delicate and are prone to bleeding. This treatment is used to prevent or shrink abnormal blood vessels growing in the eye. This laser treats the periphery of the retina inside the eye. It is NOT used in the central part of the eye. It can be done as a single treatment or as several small treatment sessions.
Argon Focal/Grid Laser
This is recommended when patients have clinically significant swelling of the central retina (macular edema). This laser is used to seal off blood vessels that are leaking blood, fluid, or protein. This in turn coagulates, or dries up, the fluid that is causing the swelling. The laser treats near the center of the retina. This is a very delicate procedure. This may improve vision, but is primarily used to prevent the current problem from worsening.

There's danger in every aspect of firing, from WARN Act layoffs and exit interviews to constructive discharge and more.
Learn how to fire an employee and sidestep wrongful termination lawsuits, with battle-tested firing procedures, and employment termination letters. At last, you can fire at will!
Employees who sue for discrimination have to prove they are members of a protected class, were qualified for the position they held, were terminated or subjected to another adverse action and were treated less favorably than employees outside their protected class. Employers that can show the employee was insubordinate can quickly win such cases.
Remind supervisors and managers to stick with verifiable and documented facts when writing up an employee for poor performance, a mistake or other disciplinary matter. That's because a false write-up could be grounds for a later defamation lawsuit.
After an employee files an EEOC or internal discrimination complaint, it's natural for him to worry about retaliation. Every move by a supervisor or HR will be filtered through that lens. You need to be on guard against retaliation, too.

I was allowed to have a bit of time off the Woodware team. Kim Reygate did a great job taking my place for a while. But now I am back. This week we were asked to make something that wasn't a square or rectangle. So it's another quickie from me as I am knee deep in boxes. As some of you know my son Paul is heading off on his big adventure to Canada. He leaves on Sunday and so all his belongings have been coming home. What was meant to be two trips to Glasgow turned into now four!! I am trying to get my head together so that I am not a blubbering wreck at the airport!!
I made a little triangle card for my project. I am last up this week and there have been some lovely ideas from the other girls, but thankfully no triangles.
I used a lovely clear set designed by Francoise called Oriental Ladies. There's not much to tell, it literally took 15 mins. The most time consuming part for me was cutting out my geisha girl...I hate cutting out!!
I coloured her with watercolour pencils and added some pink nail heads to her fan. I used a Woodware punch for the flowers and the floral punch art stamen punch for the centres. I finished off with a few pearls.
I made a template to cut out my card blank. This one fits nicely into a 6 inch square envelope.

Europe Day 2017
At a speech in Paris in 1950, Robert Schuman, the then French foreign minister, set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable.
His vision was to create a European institution that would pool and manage coal and steel production. A treaty creating such a body was signed just under a year later. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.
To celebrate Europe Day, the EU institutions open their doors to the public in early May.

Croatia, the 28th Member State of the EU, also organizes various events and you can check on them here.
SEECEL wishes you a Happy Europe Day 2017!

LOL! I think Amazon asked me to claim some of your books too.ReplyDelete
I did find that bit a bit puzzling! Actually some of the books 'offered' were really improbable given that they were about feminist philosophy and stuff. Apart from the fact that the author's name was different, and that the subject matter was something right out of my sphere, the linkage was obvious...ReplyDelete
And I thought I took the worst photo. IMO, my photos rarely look like me, although I do have a couple of candid shots that are really nice.
Brian, I have a suggestion on the photo front--you might have to resize the one with George. Love the photo but it might be too large (width and height and/or file size). Let me know if you don't have the software to resize the photo. I'd be happy to resize it for you so you can get George on Amazon.
Brian, I just stopped by your author page and you're right, that photo does make you look like a mad professor (or scientist, but where's Igor). I really did laugh out loud. I think one problem with the photo is that the color is off. It might look better if you converted it to a B&W (gray scale) photo.ReplyDelete
Thanks JoanReplyDelete
I will think about that, or simply find a nicer photo! Amazon's rejection of pets is just that. They want a photo of the author ONLY, no pets, partners, friends or other distractions. Most of the (relatively) nice photos of me have one or t'other.

Press Release
California Housing Finance Agency Financing over $9 million for Affordable Senior Housing in Downtown Sunnyvale
May 18, 2004
SACRAMENTO, CA –The California Housing Finance Agency's (CalHFA) Board of Director's, at their May 12th meeting, approved financing, $9.025 million, to preserve the 101 units of affordable senior housing located at Plaza de las Flores, 233 Carroll Street, Sunnyvale. The loan package provides permanent, tax-exempt first mortgage financing for Christian Church Homes of Northern California (CCH), the long-time property manager and recent purchaser. With funds from the City of Sunnyvale, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and other sources, the combined financing will total just over $16.7 million.
Built in 1982, Plaza de las Flores is a 101-unit senior housing development with an additional 11,815 square feet of commercial space. Plaza de las Flores is located in Sunnyvale's downtown business area. There are very few affordable senior apartment projects in all of Santa Clara County.
"The Plaza de las Flores refunding will preserve the housing for the current occupants all of whom are independent seniors living on very limited incomes," said Kathy Weremiuk, CalHFA Loan Officer. "This property was at risk of converting from an affordable housing development serving very low income seniors to a market rate property with much higher rental rates."
To preserve the project's affordability, CalHFA assisted Christian Church Home of Northern California in their purchase of the property in August of 2003 with a CalHFA Preservation Acquisition Loan and Proposition 46 Preservation Opportunity Loan administered by CalHFA for HCD. These CalHFA loan programs are for the express purpose of enabling purchasers of at-risk properties to close quickly without the necessity of having a permanent take-out commitment in place.
The financing package included HUD's extension of the project based Section 8 contract through 2023. The Section 8 contract provides rental subsidies for all units in the development. It enables low income seniors to pay only 30% of their income for rent.
CalHFA, the State's affordable housing bank, was chartered in 1975 to meet the housing needs of low and moderate income Californians. More information on the Multifamily Loan Finance programs and the full complement of CalHFA programs is available at 1.800.798.2432 or www.calhfa.ca.gov.

Chester is Historian's younger brother and he too is blessed with the 'typically English leather chesterfield sofa' genes, in fact the only obvious difference between the two is that Chester's style is a bit more street - he is the youngest after all. He likes to stay on trend whilst holding onto his traditional roots, 'timeless style' he calls it. No fuss, no frills Chester's a compact, clean-cut leather chesterfield, perfect for a kitchen-diner, children's room or day room.
Chester fits perfectly in almost any room, provided it can handle his gentlemanly charm. Chester has a carefully hand-crafted, solid hardwood frame making him tough as old boots. He likes to wear our exclusive vintage leather as it's super soft and supple making it comfortable for both you and him, the leather is hand finished to recreate a true vintage finish and as soft as it may be, it's even tougher than his frame. Whilst you're here, be sure to visit Historian - Chester's older brother, you're bound to see the family resemblance but you may notice he's a bit more old fashioned.

Interview with LS Yip, Founder of Beans Depot
In my search for the best beans, I often get myself attached to a coffee farm as part and parcel of my coffee journey. One time I was on a mountain that's 1400 meters above sea level in Chiangmai, Thailand, where all the resources are limited and precious. Looking at the condition of the host family for sharing their best facilities with us, my heart feels warm. After a long day of work on the farm, I tried to bath in a 15 square feet bathroom with cold water under the temperature of 15 degrees Celsius in the air. It was a life time experience which I'll remember forever.
What's the worst part of your job?
Whenever I'm away from Beans Depot and need a caffeine fix, I go to Tossed Café in Jaya Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya where they serve fantastic food too.
What's one of the scariest things you've seen behind the scenes?
I have nightmares about finding corn in a sack of coffee beans: that's pretty scary to me.
A day in the life of a barista is…
What do you do for fun?
Play games on my handset.
What's something you'd like guests to know about Beans Depot?
Beans Depot is a "playground," "dreamland," "laboratory," "café," "lounge" and "training/tuition centre" for all coffee aficionados. You get to play with different brewing equipment, fulfil your desire as a barista or bartender, experiment with a signature blend of your own, have a cuppa or alcoholic drink and practice your barista/coffee brewing skills here. We specialize in coffee bean roasting and coffee cocktails, and we've been featured in famous cuisine magazines.
Berries Galore with cappuccino.What's your view on the Kuala Lumpur coffee scene?
We'll be soon relocating to a bigger shoplot with an extended kitchen to facilitate a better food menu.

← Tradeline testimonials // TopTradelines.com raised Courtney's credit scores and she got FUNDED FAST
Hi, I'm Courtney. I've always been very responsible with my money, and I never used credit for anything. I thought that I was being smart, but it turns out…I had no stable credit history and that became a problem.
I was moving to a new city and needed to rent an apartment, but I couldn't find anyone who would rent to me because of my thin credit history. I needed to get my credit score up fast to I could find a place to live. So I called TopTradelines.com.
I bought 3 Tradelines on their Platinum Package. Within a few weeks my credit score went from non-existent to impressive. I had a 710 on Experian. 725 on Equifax and 718 on TransUnion.
And they didn't stop there. Through one of their sister companies, FastUnsecured.com, they helped me get credit cards! I got an AMEX card for $5000, a Barclay card for $5000 and a Bank of America card for $5000.
All and all, the whole process was fast and easy. I just followed their recommendation and purchased the package they suggested.
After that, finding an apartment was easy. I literally had my choice of everything. And that feels great.

It wasn't even an easy decision to choose which project to tackle first (see choices). After my brain was ready to explode, I decided to start with one that had large pieces - ATOMIC TULIP.
I joined the Library Project Quilt Challenge in the hopes that I might use some of my book and magazine collection, push myself to keep a commitment, and even use some fabric that I've been saving for a rainy day ( which we hardly ever get).
|Fabric Pull for Atomic Tulips
I set about cutting them- curves are not easy!
|"Pie" portion of tulips
.... and finally chose the background color - Kona Expresso! I think the rich color will let the tulips shine!

(this was an address to our men at a men's dinner)
Feb. 27 2014
INTRODUCTION – Based on 20 years and two months of prayer, watching and observation of what God is doing and trying to listen to what He is saying to and about our region; and what He is saying about what He wants to do in our region – – I believe we are on the precipice of a very significant move of God in this coastal area, and on the Central Coast. You and I could have the privilege in the not too distant future of being a part of something we have never seen in the history of this region.
I say "could have the privilege" because it is not guaranteed. And one of the things that could hinder some of us men from being in the forefront of what He is planning to do is our attitude towards and treatment of women. Continue reading On Thinking Towards & Relating to Women as Christ Would

BBC Sport's Gary Lineker believes that the right team won the 2014 World Cup, following Germany's 1-0 victory over Argentina in the final.
Mario Gotze's goal seven minutes from the end of extra time settled the final, and the result means Germany become the first European team to win the World Cup in South America.
Lineker believes we could be entering a new era of German success in international football, with the World Cup winners dominating for years to come.

What's Hot Today
Perhaps it was the simple excitement of getting back together more than two years after the cancellation of their show, but the cast and creator of HBO's Bored to Death had a straight-up love-in at last Saturday's SF Sketchfest . Jonathan Ames, Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis, and Ted Danson gushed over each other and the show as if each were giving their own version of a best-man speech. Or maybe it was, as Galifianakis insinuated, the prior-to-showtime ingestion (on Ames's part, at least) of the show's fourth most prominent character: weed. Hard to say. Read More... //www.vulture.com/2014/02/bored-to-death-reunion-ames-danson-schwartzman-galifianakis.html
Jonathan Ames is scripting what would be a continuation of the Brooklyn-set comedy that ran for three seasons on the premium cable network. //feedproxy.google.com/~r/thr/television/~3/qKwOJE_Dj08/story01.htm
Since the HBO series "Bored to Death" was unceremoniously canceled last year, fans have been lobbying for a film adaptation of the show. Now Ted Danson, one of its stars, says a "90-minute HBO film" version of the series is in the works //blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/10/25/ted-danson-shares-details-on-planned-bored-to-death-movie/?mod=WSJBlog
The canceled comedy, starring Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson, is being eyed for a possible revival at the cable network. //feedproxy.google.com/~r/thr/television/~3/LfrU1lVBbBI/bored-death-tv-movie-ted-danson-jason-schwartzman-337946
A line of Jason Schwartzman doppelgangers wrapped around Hoyt Street last night, where writer Jonathan Ames was holding a gathering for fans of "Bored to Death," the HBO series cancelled earlier this week. The bar – Brooklyn Inn – was mobbed with hundreds of Ames's friends and admirers, plus a sizable contingency of reporters, many of whom also fell into those camps. For the hardcore "Bored" fan, there were a number of celebrity sightings: cartoonist Dean Haspiel, on whom Zach Galifianakis' role was based; a cult character with a significant role in the "plushies" episode, who Ames made a point of pointing out; and John Hodgman , the author and actor who played a literary critic on the series. Read More... //blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/12/22/bored-to-death-may-be-cancelled-but-its-not-dead/?mod=WSJBlog
Jonathan Ames — the creator, writer, and executive producer of Bored to Death , versus the main character on the show, also named Jonathan Ames but played by Jason Schwartzman (got that?) — is still reeling from the news that his show has been canceled . He's taking consolation in the fact that the original series of Star Trek was also canceled after its third season, and that like what happened with Arrested Development , Firefly , and Damages , cancellation doesn't always mean death. Vulture checked in with Ames to say farewell to the show (for now), find out just what was going on with that ongoing incest story line, and see if he'll buy us a drink.

It's a bloodbath at HBO headquarters today, as the network announced it has given the axe to three of its series. "Bored to Death," "How to Make It in America" and "Hung" have all been canceled.It's not all bad news, though, as "Enlightened" has been renewed for a second season. The Laura Dern-starring series was panned before its premiere, although many accounts have praised the show's improvement throughout its first season. It'll be interesting to see how the show fares now that it's found its creative sweet spot."Bored to Death" and "Hung" ran for three seasons each, while "How to Make It in America" ran for two. Aside from "Enlightened" and a possible eighth season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," HBO's lineup will be comprised of all new series in the new year, including "Girls," "Veep," "Life's Too Short" and "Angry Boys," Deadline reports.... //blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/12/hbo-cancels-bored-to-death-how-to-make-it-in-america-and-hung-renews-enlightened.html
It was the season finale of 'Bored to Death' (Mon., 9PM ET on HBO), and if ratings are any indication, it may well be the last we ever see of Jonathan, Ray and George. Ratings have dropped from nearly a million viewers each week to less than a quarter of that. Over three seasons, we've seen each of them grow as men and as strong individuals. Perhaps most shockingly of all, Jonathan has grown so much that he was able to emerge as a bona fide hero in this finale. After deciding to help his father with a $10,000 debt he owes a baseball grounds crew, Jonathan found himself held hostage instead. //www.aoltv.com/2011/11/29/jonathan-emerges-genuine-hero-bored-to-death-finale-video/
BORED TO DEATH "Nothing I Can?t Handle by Running Away" Season 3 Episode 8 airs Monday, November 28 (9:00-9:30 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO. Episode Synopsis George throws a wedding for Emily (Halley Feiffer) and Bernard (David Rasche). Jonathan is hesitant to break it off with his new lady. Ray retreats into Spencer's (Nate and Darren Cangelosi) arms. Jonathan is taken hostage and Ray gathers an army of his newfound Super Ray fans. Written by Jonathan Ames; directed by Adam Bernstein.

It was good news and bad news for Jonathan all night long on 'Bored to Death' (Mon., 9PM ET on HBO). First, the hot girl who hooked up with him to continue his search for information about his true father slept with him. That was great news. Then, she proved to be a far more effective sleuth than him, as well as more savvy and focused in interrogation situations. All around, she was a pretty impressive woman. But they hit a seeming dead end when the sleazy former owner ( Stacy Keach ) of the sperm bank their mothers went to said he lost all the records. That was bad news. //www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/break-in-case-of-jonathans-lineage-bored-to-death-video/

From time to time I like to feature local experts with tips and advice for improving senior's lives. This week's blog is written by my colleague, Dr. Don Pelto of Central Massachusetts Podiatry. Dr. Pelto specializes in many foot ailments and writes about how you can be proactive by avoiding falls among elders.
Falls are a major causes of injury in elderly people. Hip fractures account for approximately 25 percent of injury deaths among those 65+, and 34 percent of injury deaths among those 85+.
Most falls happen in or around your house and can be life threatening. For example, Mary Smith was seen in my office for a footcare visit. I asked her, "Mary have you fallen recently?" She said, "Well in fact I was walking around my house and was only going a short distance and not using my walker and I fell and hurt my hand but thankfully nothing was broken." Mary said that she lost her balance quite frequently and that she had nearly fallen a number of times.
Mary's situation is very common. Many times a fall can cause other problems that lead to problems that can be fatal over time. There are many devices such as canes and walkers that can help the elderly live safer at home. However, a new fall-prevention device has been developed that can be worn in regular shoes has been shown to decrease falls by 30-60 percent in the elderly. It is typically covered by Medicare and Medicaid and is light weight.
If you would like to learn more about these braces visit www.fallpreventionbrace.com or if you would like to make an appointment to see a physician regarding obtaining these braces please contact Dr. Donald Pelto at Central Massachusetts Podiatry at 508.757.4003 or www.drpelto.com. Dr. Pelto is a podiatrist working in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The Acappella Singers was founded by Ronald Boender in 1994, as a group of semi-professional singers under his direction. Whereas most a cappella music today is performed by small groups of 4 to 6 voices, the goal of this unique 40 voice ensemble is to perform only the finest a cappella choral literature in all formats including sacred, folk, classical, patriotic, and Christmas favorites.
Because the repertoire of the Acappella Singers is almost entirely written in 8 parts, and could be considered pop vocal or vocal jazz, the ensemble produces a distinctive sound that is exciting to hear, and rare in the choral field.
The Acappella Singers can be heard performing in concerts, at church services, corporate functions or special occasions all over South Florida. They are the resident singers at Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, Florida.
Ronald Boender studied voice and conducting for 6 years under Dr. George Sistrunk and master classes under Margaret Hillis, Roger Wagner and many others. Mr. Boender was Director of Music at Christ Community Church of Pompano Beach Florida for 20 years, and was the founding Conductor of the Ft. Lauderdale Christian Chorale. While with the Chorale, Mr. Boender was asked to be the guest conductor of the Broward Symphony Orchestra, performing Mendelssohns great oratorio "Elijah". In recent years he has returned to his love of pure singing as found only in the a cappella style.

Raven-Symoné has reportedly come out of the closet, this according to the website MediaTakeOut. They claim to have gotten the news from the National Enquirer (they NEVER publish anything misleading or false), who are claiming the actress is now officially out. Their report claims:
Sources close to Raven say she's GAY and has shacked up with AzMarie Livingston, the androgynous beauty seen on "America's Next Top Model." The two are living together in Raven's luxury $11,00-a-month [sic] New York City condo.. . .
She's at a point now where she doesn't care what her family thinks, and she's in love with AzMarie. She's a lesbian and wants to live that way."
We have made this our Wacky Weekly Wednesday post today, especially given the two sources. Raven is currently starring in Sister Act on Broadway however, so the living in NYC part is definitely true. Everything else, not so much we think. Here's the beautiful AzMarie:
And if it is true, we feel bad that she was outed in this manner. By the way, if you haven't seen Raven's rumored love AzMarie Livingston in a while, she introduces this fashion event video, from just two weeks ago:

Gone Fission is a boat of Mr. Burns. Homer, while he was housesitting for Mr. Burns, proceeded to invite Moe's Tavern to a party in international waters on the Gone Fission yacht. The party was delayed by Marge due to not wanting Homer to be reckless, though they ultimately managed to make off with the boat, though they backed out the wrong manner before righting themselves. The ship was later hijacked by pirates.
It had two entrances, which the barflies exploited after Marge blocked one of them.

One of the things I get asked most is which Avenger is on which side in Captain America: Civil War. While Hawkeye, Ant-Man and Falcon have already been confirmed for Team Captain America, who are the other two members? Who is on Team Iron Man?
According to sourcing, the following is how the the teams are broken down. A previous site's report about Black Widow was wrong. We made a little collage of each team. Here are your team rosters. First up:
1) Captain America
2) Hawkeye
3) Falcon
4) Scarlet Witch
5) Ant-Man
6) The Winter Soldier
Next up…
1) Iron Man
2) The Vision
3) Spider-Man
4) Black Widow
5) War Machine
So there you have it. Black Panther has already been confirmed by Feige personally as being neutral. He is on a mission. Yesterday's story might be the reason why. Can you guess which Avenger might be a double agent? Chime in your thoughts below.

She's wasted no time in showcasing her athletic post-pregnancy body, just two months after welcoming her first child with husband Adi Ezra.
But inclement weather prompted Bar Refaeli to cover up on Wednesday afternoon as she stepped out in Madrid.
The Israeli model, 31, kept her toned physique well wrapped in a smart military green winter coat during an appearance in the Spanish capital with a female friend.
Paying a visit to some of the picturesque city's numerous boutiques, Bar looked typically stylish in a pair of snug fitting leather trousers and on-trend ankle boots.
Accessorising tastefully, the veteran model sported a chic monochrome scarf and tinted Aviator sunglasses, while a black leather handbag rounded things off.
With her willowy blonde locks tied in a loose, conventional ponytail, Bar revealed naturally pretty features accentuated by the barest hint of make-up.
The former girlfriend of Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio married Israeli businessman Adi last September, announcing her pregnancy via Instagram this January.
On August 11, she gave birth to Liv at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.
Although she has yet to release any snaps of her new addition, she cheekily shared a selfie of herself with the caption: 'If you are wondering what my daughter looks like… Just smaller.'
Bar has been keeping her fans updated on her mission to shed her baby weight, and last week showed exactly how she was keeping in shape by sharing a clip of her workout.
Taking to Instagram she was seen stood on an upturned balance ball, kicking one leg back as she gripped a pair of suspension straps.
'As you can see,' she captioned. 'I'm all about getting back in shape #addicted'.

I had a great time in Floyd, VA. Chance couldn't make it, because apparently he's joined some kind of medicine show or something, but Anna Roberts-Gevalt filled in, and all was well. We saw a bunch of old friends, and really enjoyed playing at the Floyd Country Store… pretty cool little operation they have there.
back home… gardening.

The 1 July terror attack in Dhaka's posh Gulshan area and the subsequent confirmation by the Bangladeshi authorities that all seven gunmen were its nationals—who had been to elite schools and universities—is sufficient evidence of the fact that Islamist radicalism is taking roots and attracting different categories of people in the over-populous nation.
That the attackers belonged to upper-middle class families and were part of the same so-called secular elite who throng upscale eateries like the Holey Artisan Bakery – site of the attack – goes to suggest that jihadi terror has succeeded in attracting the rich, and those who could rather easily navigate the course of modern cosmopolitan city life, where people of various faiths and nationalities live.
The attackers who stormed the eatery killed two policemen and 20 hostages in the most brutal manner — hacking them rather than shooting them dead — to generate as much terror as possible, and then posted photographs of their slaughtered victims on websites run by the Islamic State.
In fact, the IS claimed responsibility for the worst-ever terror attack in Bangladesh, trying to suggest that the gunmen — six of whom were shot dead by the police and one captured — were its cadres. Whether or not they actually belonged to the Islamic State is not important. What is important is the fact that youth from affluent backgrounds are getting attracted to jihadi outfits, whether home-grown or otherwise.
The matter of concern is that the Islamic State have adopted a strategy of letting jihadis of any variety use its name after carrying out a terror raid. That helps the outfit because it does not require the physical presence of its cadres in different parts of the world.
Dhaka is at pains to deny that the attackers belonged to the Islamic State, saying that they were all 'home-grown terrorists', owing allegiance to groups like the Jama'at ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an outfit whose aim is to convert secular Bangladesh into a Caliphate.
Bangladeshi authorities have added that these 'home-grown terrorists' could now be trying to forge linkages with the Islamic State and other global jihadi forces. If Dhaka continues to be in a denial mode, it could cost the nation dear because it has actually been a hub of radical Islamist forces for long now.
There are any number of local jihadi groups with loose links to the Al Qaeda and other terror networks like the Ansar al-Islam, for instance. The jihadi plot has certainly thickened in Bangladesh, with machete-wielding attackers killing liberal bloggers, university professors, foreign aid workers, minority Hindus and so on since 2013. This could actually be the result of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's tough action against the criminals and radicals who were involved in war-crimes during the country's liberation struggle.
Hasina has been tough no doubt and appears bent on shielding her country from the Islamist radicals, but her government and party have actually failed to crackdown on jihadi outfits like Ansar, Hefazat-e-Islam and Hizb ut-Tahrir.
The grit demonstrated by Hasina led to capital punishment being meted out to several people, including top Jamaat leader Motiur Rahman Nizami. The radicals, already agitated, perhaps could not bear it any more. In fact, the 1 July attack in Dhaka was waiting to happen, and was clearly a failure on the part of the security establishment in Bangladesh to anticipate that the jihadis could scale-up their attack or retaliation. The attack can also be seen as an attempt at triggering a regime-change in Dhaka.
For India, it is a cause for real alarm because it is clear now – we have the Islamic State active in our backyard. India must further boost its counter-terrorism efforts and try to build a global coalition to identify the nations financing or backing groups like the IS and choke their source of funds.
New Delhi needs to push hard for the immediate adoption of the long-pending Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT). This would help make accountable states which support terrorists, provide them safe heaven and finance them. At the recent G20 meet, Russian President Vladimir Putin had apparently presented a list of 40 countries which directly back groups like the Islamic State.
India must follow up on Putin's list and focus on more areas to combat terror. In fact, India needs also to generate public opinion against terrorism by a close interface with the civil society. The silver lining is the fact that Indian Muslims are practitioners of liberal Islam. Therefore, it is important for the government and the media to recognise liberal Muslim voices and give such voices due weight and importance.
Besides, the world has to perhaps work on long-term plans and include peace education in the syllabus of undergraduate programmes to prepare the youth to understand and contribute their bit in the global war against the menace called terrorism.
Immediately, of course, New Delhi is expected to work closely with Dhaka in drawing up strategies to tackle the jihadi upsurge and draw up effective surveillance networks through real-time intelligence sharing and the use of other tools.

A Noise Reduction Rating Is Nice, But It's Not Everything
Following our report on active noise reduction headsets in the May issues, the e-mails trickled in. With all those expensive lab tests, why the heck didnt you guys publish good numbers on noise reduction values? a couple of readers asked. After all, manufacturers do this. Well concede the point, but its not as simple as that.

Cologne is the last Roman city before the eastern plans, and on the same bank of the Rhine as Strasbourg. I stop to consider the itinerary: where to cross the Rhine? Cologne or Strasbourg? Argentorate or Colonia?
Cologne is important for me, symbolically. It's in Cologne that I entered a sauna for the first time, for the Christopher Street day, a local pride event named after the New York protest.
Generally speaking, Germany has been important for my homosexual self-awareness. It was at Baden Baden that as a youngster I visited the Roman baths; I can remember, among the mists of confused memories, seeing naked men there, perhaps for the first time, in the corridors of the sauna. And there was Berlin – Germany is a place of firsts – Berlin, where I bought my first pornographic magazine from a station kiosk, the summer of '97, while working for a Franco-German institution in the castle of Genshagen. Then Body Art, exhibited next-door to my own apartment in a building on Neuköln square, where for the first time I saw a man's penis on the stage, a stripper who performed a full strip – elsewhere, there were workshops of tattoo-artists and body-piercers, plus a blond hiker and nudist who ran a "tantric massage" group and performed a naked massage on the stage.
But I never responded to the newspaper ad from the man who presented himself as a Lohengrin in search of his cygnet.

Well, the first hurdle is over. It was not near as bad as I had feared, praise God. When I woke up in the recovery room I was having quite a lot of pain, but after some "joy juice" got the pain under control rather fast and have not really had much since.
Bryan stayed with me last night and can't hardly walk this morning from the 4 star accommodations, lol. I'm glad he did.... he helped walk me, and all my drains, get to the restroom during the night. I'm now sitting here drinking a cup of coffee and waiting for breakfast. I feel like a queen :)
Thank you to Zoe and Frank for being here during my surgery, and to Tammy and Sharon for bringing me the most gorgeous basket of goodies from all my friends. The doctor said surgery went well, no surprises, and felt confidant that he got all the cancer. I should go home later today and look forward to seeing my friends.
I am so glad the surgery is behind me and I'm looking to the future. Love to each and every one of you.

So in Part 1 we took a look at the concept of thin imaging and created a base OS X image that you could deploy to your Macs via your preferred method (mine is currently still DeployStudio. Let me know what yours is in the comments!). In this 2nd part we are going to take a look at the next phase in thin imaging, package deployment (or at least the repository for packages). To do this we are going to use a set of excellent tools; Munki and MunkiAdmin.
The two packages you are going to need are, Munki and MunkiAdmin.
You could essentially do all of this just using Munki, but as that is command line only (and my command line is not as good as I would like it to be), MunkiAdmin gives you a GUI front end. Go ahead and install both packages (install munkitools first).
Once you have both components installed, open up MunkiAdmin. The first thing it is going to do is ask you to locate the Munki Repo. As we don't have one yet, click cancel.
Select File > New Repository > Create your repository where you like. I named mine Munki_Repo.
You can see it has automatically created the sub directories.
Back in MunkiAdmin, File > New Manifest > save this in the default Manifest folder. Name it appropriately. For example, I name mine after the room the manifest will be assigned to. In this example I will be using a Mac lab named 'E1'.
File > New Catalog > again name the catalog. I am also calling this E1.
Please Note: It appears the Catalog disappears until it actually has something in it, so don't worry if it isn't there when you quit MunkiAdmin and then reopen it. We will cover adding apps to catalogs at a later date.
In MunkiAdmin hit the Save button. This is a good habit to get in to. After any changes, make sure you hit save. And you may frequently have to hit the Reload button also.
OK, so this is our main sections in MunkiAdmin configured. You might be thinking that this is all looking pretty empty, you would be right! At this point our repository is configured. We will use this repository to push out applications to clients. But before we can do that we need to import applications in to Munki to distribute.
The Munki Repo needs to be shared via web services so that it is accessible. To do this, open Server.app, select Websites from the left, and check the box for Enable PHP. Turn websites on.
You can edit the existing Websites listed in Server.app, or you can add a new one. I will add a new one as I have other web services running. Be sure to point the 'Store site files in' to your Munki Repo. Select Edit Advanced Settings, and tick the box for Allow folder listing.
Make sure you can access your Munki repo via a web browser – ideally from another machine on your network. If you open Safari and type in the web address of your munch repo, you should be presented with the same list of folders as found in your Munki Repo via Finder on the server.
Please note that I setup my own DNS name for my munki repository, if you put yours in the Default website directory located at:
Then the URL will likely be that of your web server, e.g..
If you put it in a sub directory of the Default folder then the URL will likely be:
In part 3 we will take a look at AutoPkgr which will allow us to import packages. We will then look at how we distribute these using MunkiAdmin.

How I do Faith's Hair
Posted by Rachel R. Vanderveen on Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012 at 10:16am.
I love doing hair. I love, love, love it. So my daughter has had to carry the unfortunate burden of my little hobby. People see Faith's hair and they ask, "How do you get her to sit still for that?" For a long time, she didn't mind me yanking and pulling her hair into a gorgeous style fit for the red carpet; she just sat still with no further intervention. But just recently, when the tangles have gotten to be too much, she starts crying and begging me to just leave it in knots. In order to be able to continue with my hobby, and include her in what has become some very special bonding time, I've had to come up with two solutions to keep her not only still, but happy, as we do her hair.
So for all the ladies who have asked, here is how I keep Faith sitting still:
My first line of attack is story-telling. I come up with the stories on the spot, and they always include adventures with her and her best friend, and I set them in scenes that she loves. Usually Strawberry Shortcake, princesses, Dora or other such places. I make them up as I go along, and buh-lieve me, it doesn't matter how silly, ludicrous, lacking in plot, or short they are. She loves them all. Here is one story that she begs me to re-tell over and over.
"One day, Faithy and Sarina went on a boat ride to Ice Cream Island, when suddenly they realized that Cherry-Top Mountain was on fire! Strawberry Shortcake came running to them as soon as they came to shore saying, "Oh no! What ever will we do? Cherry Top Mountain is on fire!" Then Faithy had a wonderful idea, she and Sarina took buckets and filled them up at Lemonade Lake, and they dumped lemonade all over the fire until it was gone. Then Faithy and Sarina hosted a cupcake picnic where all the children from Ice Cream Island got to eat all the cupcakes that they wanted until everyone fell asleep under the stars. The End"
That story is long enough to get the knots out of her hair and put it into a simple pony tail. The real trick to telling the story, however, is that it has to be told no louder than a whisper. If you speak louder, then there is room for whining and crying as you brush out the knots. If you speak softly, she'll have to strain to hear you, thus curbing her desire to whine and cry as the knots get combed free. To that end, I should note that I always use a leave in conditioner in Faith's hair.
The second line of attack comes in if I'm not having a particularly creative day, and I can't think of a story long enough to do a proper upsweep, or set curlers in her hair.
I give her my iPhone. Yes, that's right, my iPhone. It's not the best of worlds, but she begs me for it all the time, and at least in this situation I can monitor what she's doing on it. For an involved style, the iPhone is the only way to go. She will hold perfectly still for as long as it takes to get the job done. One of the most complicated styles I do is a braid crown, as shown below. I actually did this one when she was in the hospital last year. This is definitely an iPhone hairstyle.
Well, that's about it, ladies. I hope this helps!


text: LIQUORICE loves to bake. Indulge in these triple chocolate brownies, using this BBC Good Food recipe; although I had to bake the brownies for about 20 minutes longer than the instructions suggest. With a recipe entitled 'Best-ever brownies' they can't be bad...and, if you don't trust yourself with a whole plate of brownies on the side, they can be stored away in an airtight container for two weeks or in the freezer for a month.
