Brown Spots
Causes and Cures to Blotchy Skin
I've got brown spots on my face. Can you get rid of them?
There are a variety of treatments for brown spots and hyperpigmentation. Each solution is case-dependent and certain treatments work better than others for the underlying reason you have brown patches on your skin in the first place. Dr. Cobos carefully determines which treatment is suitable and most effective for your particular skin color, skin type and skin problem.
Some of us have hyperpigmentation (the over-production of natural pigment in our skin) from the time we were so young we don't recall when it began or why. For others, it is a result of hormone shifts, the use of birth control pills or the sudden appearance of a "pregnancy mask" that refuses to go away.
For most of us, though, splotchy skin and brown markings on the face, chest, arms and hands are a direct result of sun exposure. Whether termed brown spots, melasma, age spots, "liver spots", sun spots, sun freckles or any other name, hyperpigmentation is a melanin response to some type of trigger. That trigger is usually the sun.

Dr. Cobos finds the most effective solutions to existing brown spots and unevenly-colored skin will be one of or a combination of:
- Fraxel – A fast-healing laser treatment that has FDA approval for Melasma and Chloasma and Sun-induced hyperpigmentation
- SilkPeel – A fast-healing laser treatment that has FDA approval for Melasma and Chloasma and Sun-induced hyperpigmentation
- Chemical Peels – Over-all skin regeneration by chemically causing a peeling of your damaged skin
Understanding Hyper Pigmentation
The Role of Melanin To have an understanding of what hyper-pigmentation is, it's important to understand the role of melanin. Skin gets it's color, whether light or dark, from melanin. Melanin is the pigment that your body produces which determines the color of your skin, hair and eyes. The more melanin, the more color and the more "color-potential" you have in your skin.
What Determines Your Brown Spot Potential?
Your ancestors determine your susceptibility to having brown spots or brown patches on you skin. If you are of Latin America, Middle Eastern or Asian descebt, you will have far more melanin cells and the resulting likelihood of hyperpigmentation is far greater than someone whose ancestors came from the Scandinavian countries.
A Look at the 3 Major Causes of Hyper Pigmentation and Brown Spots
I. Hyper-pigmentation from Sun Exposure. One of the primary functions of melanin production in your skin is to protect you from UV rays from the sun. A "tan" is the prime example of your body's melanin response to the sun.When the skin is assaulted by repeated exposure to the sun, you experience sun damage in a variety of ways and one of those is brown spots and hyper-pigmentation resulting from an over-production of melanin. Once the cycle of pigment over-production has started, it is difficult to stop it and usually medical intervention is required.
II. Hyper-pigmentation (Melasma or Chloasma) from Hormones. The second most frequent cause of hyper-pigmentation is hormone changes. This may be a result of birth control pills, pregnancy or the various stages of menopause. Hormone shifts trigger the melanin cells to go into over-drive. This can happen even if you are not a sun worshipper. However, if you have hormone-related pigmentation problems, you still need to be careful since sun exposure will always make it worse.
III. Hyper-pigmentation from injury (termed Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation or PIH). The third most common cause of pigmentation is a direct result of some type of injury to the skin.
Typical pigmentation-causing injuries include
- Insect bites or itchy rashes
- Abrasions or cuts
- Acne or acne cysts
- Over-exposure to heat
- Hair waxing
- Improperly performed laser treatments
Why does Injury Cause HyperPigmentation?
Your body's response to injury is inflammation. Often you don't even see it as much of it can occur underneath the epidermis. This inflammation triggers melanin production and the result is a brown patch or stripes.
This is one of the reasons you should always have medical treatments such as hair laser removal, fotofacial, or any type of laser or light treatment performed in a dermatology office under the watchful supervision of a board-certified dermatologist. Untrained or poorly trained technicians have in many instances caused irreparable damage to their clients' skin.
What is the Major Control Factor in Preventing BrownSpots?
That would be you!
Sun exposure is the #1 cause of facial and body brown spots, age spots, freckles, moles and pre-cancerous actinic keratosis. The only way to proactively prevent the majority of environmentally-caused hyperpigmentation is to protect your skin from the sun. Hormones, injury and pigmentation from allergic reactions or skin disease such as acne are mostly beyond your control. But you are in control of how well your skin is protected from the sun. Sunscreen, Sunblock, hats and sun-protective clothing are your first line guard against not only unsightly brown patches but also sun damage that could lead to skin cancer.

- Chemical Peels – Over-all skin regeneration by chemically causing a peeling of your damaged skin

One of our family's favorite recipes is Scalloped Corn. This is a staple side dish at many family gatherings, and it's rare to not have it served with one of our holiday meals. I decided to change the recipe up and give it a summer kick by using the new Birds Eye® Barbecue Sweet Corn. This was quite an undertaking. I was going to change a recipe and feed it to it's biggest fans, and I knew they likely would be it's biggest critics as well.
The evening of our family gathering came, and I'll admit I was a bit nervous to see what everyone thought of my updated recipe. I myself hadn't even snuck a taste, so I had no clue how the corn had turned out. I am very happy to report that the recipe was a huge success. My family couldn't stop raving about how yummy it was. You really could taste the barbecue flavor from the corn too. It turned out to be the perfect vegetable side dish for a summer picnic!
Here's what you need to make it:
- 2 bags of Birds Eye® Barbecue Sweet Corn
- 2 cans of creamed corn
- 1 box of corn muffin mix
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 bags Birds Eye® Barbecue Sweet Corn
- 2 cans creamed corn
- 1 box corn muffin mix
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Mix all ingredients together in a 2 quart greased casserole bowl
- Bake at 350 for 60 - 90 minutes (until top is brown)
- Serve warm

It's 6:30 am on a summer Sunday morning. My iPod delivers the first "whoa whoa whoa"s of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" into my waiting eardrums as I set out to walk the length and back of Ogunquit Maine's Marginal Way. Leaving Kelly sleeping off last night's "Tini" part of our dinner at "Tapas and Tinis," I walk and walk feeling the warm early morning sun on my cheeks as I share the walkway with serious joggers, early morning fisherman, and the occasional retiree with coffee and paper. The tide is just beginning to return to the shore. I grew up on an island, I know the rhythm of tides as well as I know the overture to "Gypsy," I should find it comforting, familiar… but I don't. I feel restless, unsettled, and as if I'm looking for something. I continue through Perkins Cove and over the drawbridge as far as I can before I run out of walkway. Reluctantly I decide against tramping through stranger's front yards and turn back towards the village where I buy a coffee and a paper and sit outside with a family with early-waking toddlers and a group of elderly men partaking in what is clearly a weekly if not daily ritual of coffee and company.
I try to focus on my Maine Sunday Telegram but instead my thoughts wander and I find myself thinking, not for the first time, what it would be like to live in this village, to be a part of a town part artist colony, part tourist destination, part gay and lesbian hotspot. To be part of the community, work on committees for town celebrations, know my neighbors, and complain about the logjam of tourists every summer. For the past few months Kelly and I have been talking seriously about selling the condo once Liza goes off to college and moving this "beautiful place by the sea." Make no mistake about it, this is not some ill-thought-out plan that presupposes every day will feel like vacation (like when Kelly moved to New Orleans because Mardi Gras was so much fun. . .not the most brilliant of ideas). For me it would be returning to my home state and most of all returning to a place in the world where the tides help define the rhythm of life and the smell of salt is thick in the summer air and you feel part of a town that knows you.
Before heading back to New Hampshire we spend the day driving neighborhood after neighborhood in Ogunquit and into neighboring York ,looking at houses and speculating about cost and where the nearest grocery store would be and how we'd make a living. We know our real estate and know that even the tiniest ramshackle cottage costs four times what I paid for my condo. Kelly and I are well matched on excursions like this. She goes right to "Would you want the gray clapboard shingles? I like the natural tan ones better," and persists in driving down long windy drives to million dollar homes that would never in my wildest dreams be ours. I'm the realist. The one who tempers her enthusiasm with "if we even manage to be able to afford to move to Ogunquit you need to know there's no way on this earth we can live on the ocean." Usually her enthusiasm is contagious and I find myself thinking about waking each morning to the sound of surf as I did throughout my childhood, to coffee on my deck, to finally having a home that can indulge my love for company, where Liza could return on school breaks with friends. I imagine her rolling her eyes and saying "come visit me in Ogunquit. We'll go to the beach to get away from my moms, they're driving me crazy. " But today I can't shake the restless frustration that dogged me during my morning walk. It's more than a longing for something that I know is well, well beyond my means. I grew up among the rich and super rich, and spend my working days asking them for charitable gifts. I've long since moved past being envious of a monied lifestyle. It's not envy of the wealthy whose houses open onto ocean vistas that fills me now. My vision of our life in Ogunquit has never been one of material things or a fancy home. What churns inside me now is a battle between the voice cautioning me not to dream this too hard, I'll only be let down and the one telling me if I don't dream it, if I don't cling to it I will surely be let down. This life I'm about to embark on with Kelly by my side calls for something more, something that will make all the parts whole. A true extreme life makeover. I don't want to raise money for the rest of my life, I don't want to foot the bill for someone else's creativity anymore. I'm selfish. I want my own life of writing and performing and waking each morning excited about what the day will bring rather than resigned to another day of lists and grants and spreadsheets and ticket sales. It is this restlessness I felt on my morning walk, the niggling feeling of knowing where I want to be but unsure how to get there. Allowing myself to be content in the moment of the morning is suspect…I know it's fleeting and soon I have to return home to my 'real life.' I'm grumpy with Kelly, sullen and uncommunicative on the ride home, resenting the inevitable march toward Monday morning.
Kelly, as usual, is patient with me, giving me some space and teasing me out of my funk with her humor and a particularly well-made Caesar salad for dinner. Later that night as we sit together for the premiere of Mad Men comfortably sharing space on the sectional, I realize that seven years ago I fought similar voices inside of me. The ones telling me to stuff a longing for a different life down deep inside me where no one would find it, to ignore it, to fight it and it would go away along with voice that told me that not fighting for this new life meant slowly dying inside. I realize I have already done what I once thought was impossible. Started over, found and been found by love and forged a new path for myself, a journey that in two months time will culminate with marrying the woman who saved me, who loves me, who laughs with and at me, and who showed me that daring to dream a new life isn't selfish, it's necessary. I turn to her and joke that if we wait 11 years to move to Ogunquit I'll be eligible to live in a 55+ planned community. She smiles and says "we won't wait that long I promise." And I believe her. And in that moment I let the dream come in and open the door to a life by the sea that I know is out there for us. Even if now it exists only in the margins of my mind.

I have been working on Other Stuff the past couple of days. I needed a break, both physically and mentally, from weaving, mostly so I could work on the manuscript. (At 30,000 plus words and 130 plus pages, it now feels like a manuscript!). But my brain gets very mushy after several hours so I have also been knitting, and at guild drop in, spinning up more of my fibre stash to knit with.
So, blue scarf on the needles, green/blue wet finished and coned, and tonight, finished plying the purple. I am trying to use up as much of the blue as I can, although that might make a pretty long scarf, I will see how long I make it.
Currently reading Where I Belong by Alan Doyle.

A Telecom Giant's K-12 Philanthropy Flies Under the Radar. Here's a Look/
AT&T's Aspire Connect to Success Competition is all about finding programs with track records of success in motivating high school students to persist in school to graduation, preparing them for later success. Recently, AT&T selected 18 organizations to share in $10 million of grant funding for initiatives ranging from peer tutoring to comprehensive student supports and college preparation.
This is nice money if you can get it, and it's from a funder that we don't hear about much in the K-12 space. In fact, we've barely noticed any AT&T giving on any issue over recent years. Of course, being one of the largest corporations in the United States, AT&T does engage in quite a bit of philanthropy, with education as a top focus. You can see an overview of its ed initiatives here, although be forewarned: As with many corporate funders, it takes a bit of digging to get a fix on specific grant opportunities from AT&T.
As you might expect from a telecom company, AT&T has an interest in supporting STEM education, as well as initiatives related to its expertise in technology. It's given large grants to Girls Who Code, Code.org, and Black Girls Code. It's also big into backing ed tech outfits, and has supported efforts to grant "nanodegrees," which are online certifications for tech jobs.
Youth career development overall is a keen interest for this funder, and last year it gave $2.2 million to Road Trip Nation, an organization that creates career exploration resources to help students explore pathways aligned with their interests. In 2015, this funder gave a $1 million grant to Year Up, which moves urban youth from poverty to professional careers in one year. That money is being used to launch the group's Dallas work. Other grant recipients last year included Teach for America.
For the Aspire Connect competition, AT&T sifted through applications from hundreds of nonprofits before selecting the 18 recipients. The company funded the grant competition through AT&T Aspire, its signature philanthropic program. AT&T's Social Innovation and Philanthropy division views a high school diploma as a must-have for future success. The Aspire program identifies organizations that demonstrate success in moving the needle on high school graduation rates, especially for disadvantaged students.
A 2016 study by the America's Promise Alliance, a partnership backed by AT&T and a range of corporate and philanthropic funders, including State Farm, Boeing, and the Citi and Ford foundations, found that 20 percent of high school students do not graduate high school in four years. Gaps in high school completion rates are especially pronounced among low-income students, English Language Learners, students of color and students with disabilities. Students who take longer than four years to complete high school are far less likely to be college ready or to be prepared for careers.
Related: Millions Have Been Given to Boost High School Graduation Rates.... And?
Recipients sharing the $10 million from AT&T include the YMCA of Greater New York which received $250,000 to expand Y Scholars, a college access and success program that works with underserved students in New York City. Family Connection-Communities in Schools is another recipient. The Georgia-based organization will receive $1 million to place site coordinators in three high-poverty high schools in Athens, GA, to provide schoolwide interventions, as well as targeted supports to specific student groups to increase achievement and graduation rates.
Since 2008, AT&T has put more than $200 million into programs aimed at increasing high school graduation rates. Past funding recipients under the Aspire program have demonstrated success in high school outcomes, according to a news release from the company. AT&T reported that, among 2014 funding recipients, participating students had higher attendance rates than their peers and were more likely to graduate on time.

Jerry Uelsmann, Apocalypse II, 1967, printed c. 1971, gelatin silver print, 2011.98. © Jerry Uelsmann.
Championed as a medium capable of yielding unmediated copies of nature, photography is often believed to operate in the realm of the factual. The works on view in Consciously Surreal challenge this notion of photographic truth through the purposeful engagement of experimental techniques, fragmentation of the body, and chance encounters. Either positioned on the periphery of Surrealism or working well beyond the movement's heyday, the artists highlighted in this exhibition nonetheless engage with surrealist concerns in a variety of ways.
Works by David Teplica, Robert Heinecken, and Manuel Alvarez Bravo duplicate, crop, and frame the body in such a way that denies its status as a unified whole, echoing the Surrealists' preoccupation with deconstructing and reconfiguring the human form. In merging the fantastic with the banal, documentary photographers Walker Evans and Frank Paulin faithfully record incidences of the uncanny in rural America and the streets of New York respectively. Not afraid to experiment in the darkroom, Jerry Uelsmann and Bernard Siegel combine, overlap, and overexpose negatives as a means to arrive at both landscape and portrait images that are rather unexpected.
Other photographers represented in the exhibition include Gail Chase, Konrad Cramer, Adam Fuss, David Graham, Ann Hamilton, Barbara Morgan, Alexander Rodchenko, and Joel-Peter Witkin.

Writer Alan Moore, best known for his groundbreaking graphic novels (including The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, V For Vendetta, Watchmen) and director Mitch Jenkins are making a series of short films. Produced By Lex Projects, these occult, noir-flecked pieces are Moore's first work written specifically for the screen and made with his ongoing creative involvement…
The first installment, entitled Act of Faith, stars Siobhan Hewlett (Sherlock, Hotel Babylon, Torchwood) and was recently shot in London. The second piece, Jimmy's End, will be filmed in Northampton later this summer.
Originally intended as a brief ten-minute, one-off piece, the project has evolved into a multi-layered, multi-episode narrative created by Moore and brought to life by Jenkins. The working title for the overall series is Show Pieces.
Act of Faith and Jimmy's End will premiere via The Creator's Project in late 2012.

Charlie Brown Valentine Specials To Air On ABC
"Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown," the 1975 special produced and animated by the same team that gave us the now classic holiday specials and taken directly from the late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz's famed comic strip, will air with the classic "A Charlie Brown Valentine," FRIDAY, FEB. 9 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network.
In "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown," hearts are fluttering on Valentine's Day at Birchwood School, and Linus has brought a huge box of candy for his homeroom teacher. Thinking that the candy is for her, Sally reciprocates with a homemade card for Linus. Meanwhile, Lucy demands some affection from Schroeder, and Charlie Brown waits for his cards in the mail … and waits … and waits …
This special stars Duncan Watson (Charlie Brown), Stephen Shea (Linus), Melanie Kohn (Lucy), Greg Felton (Schroeder), Lynn Mortensen (Sally) and Linda Ercoli (Violet). "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown" was executive produced by Lee Mendelson, produced by Bill Melendez and directed by Phil Roman. Music was composed and performed by Vince Guaraldi. It will air with Spanish audio via SAP.
"A Charlie Brown Valentine" marked the first newly created programming from the PEANUTS team in several years. In this special, Charlie Brown finally works up the courage to call the little red-haired girl to ask her to the Valentine's Day dance. But once again he ends up broken-hearted and empty-handed when he dials the wrong number and reaches Peppermint Patty instead.

I've been processing a lot of stuff these last couple of weeks. Anyone in or around the Springfield MO area had to process the news of Hailey Owens and the impact this senseless death of this beautiful 10-year-old girl had on all of us. By all accounts her death has made am impact not just locally but globally. The Tuesday night of her disappearance I, like so many others, heard the news and got the Amber Alert and I went to bed praying for her safe return. When I got up the next morning, Wednesday, I prayed that the news I would see would be of a joyful reunion with her family. Alas, it was not to be.
The emotions so many of us experienced have run the gamut from disbelief to shock to grief to anger to fear and anything and everything in between. We are still healing. It's a process.
Where am I going with this and why did I choose to start a post with such sadness? Well, in the days or maybe weeks prior to this I was thinking of a different event. My Dad, who I loved dearly, was no longer here on this earth. He had passed away and come this February 19th of this year it would be 10 years since he had gone to be with Jesus. I was missing him a lot and had been thinking about him and the anniversary milestone coming up and just trying to process that fact it had already been 10 years.
Well, that day, this February 19th ,turned out to also be the day we all found out that Hailey would not be returning to her family and had also gone to be with Jesus. So, I had a bunch of other emotions to deal with that day other than the anniversary of Dad's passing.
I'm still growing and learning who I am and who God designed me to be. I've learned that I don't want to miss any opportunities or blessings He may have for me. My emotions tend to trip me up sometimes and I just don't notice things that He has put right in front me. I want to be grateful for what I have or even what I don't have. What I desire may not be what is best for me and I want to discern God clearly. So, I have been trying to be more intentional in my thoughts, words, and actions. You know the old adages of "look before you leap", "think before you speak" kind of things. I have prayed that I see God's hand in everything.
Well, as God likes to do he provides a lot of opportunities to work on these aspects of my growth. And in many of the readings or studying I had been doing in the few weeks leading up to this 10 year milestone they of course spoke to me on being grateful in my circumstances (no matter if good or bad), choosing my words carefully, and not letting what should be a minor inconvenience turn in to a big mountain.
What finally hit home with me, however, was the numerous times I was encouraged to strive to notice God in everything. Absolutely everything. No matter how big or small. No matter if it's good or bad. No matter if it directly impacts me or not. He's there. All the time. He's there if we need to praise Him or thank Him, cry out to Him in joy or intense sadness, or even in anguish or anger because we just don't understand the unfairness of it all. We can just simply speak the name of Jesus when no other words will come. I've known this of course and thought I did a pretty good job of seeing God's hand in things but I realize now I probably only scratched the surface.
One of my favorite authors Lysa TerKeurst, posted several entries on her blog the week or so prior to these events that really hit me hard. I know this wasn't coincidence of course. Basically what she said was that we need to Be a Noticer. Be a Noticer of and love your story – whether orderly or chaotic, thank God for the moments. Be a Noticer with your words – be a noticer of the good in every situation. This part isn't easy and even in difficult circumstances we can look for how God can teach us through it. This one I struggle with more than others. And finally Be a Noticer by developing a heart of thankfulness. Find something to be thankful for in every situation. This helps me remember God is there and I can focus more on Him instead of the situation which may be difficult. This will release God's supernatural peace.
Philippians 4:7 says "And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus". I sure have needed some peace over the last couple of weeks. There are times when all I've managed to say was "Jesus" because I couldn't find the right words.
So, I am boldly going forward and declaring I will be a noticer! I know I will still miss some things but God's presence will never change so all I need to do is refocus and there He is! Amazing isn't it.

10 Questions: Mark Hartley, filmmaker, 44
YOU'VE just remade the 1970s Australian horror classic Patrick. Why?
I really loved Patrick but it was very much a film of its time. I don't think you should remake films that can't be improved upon but when you look at the original now, it was set in one room and didn't have a lot of atmosphere. We wanted to go quite spooky with it.
When did you first see the original Patrick?
I remember it was the first ex-rental VHS tape I ever bought. A little bit later I found out the director, Richard Franklin, had gone to my high school so I got in touch with him and stayed in contact right up until his death.
You've directed video clips for bands like Powderfinger and the Cruel Sea and even the theme song for the Sydney Olympic Games. How did that come about?
I was working a lot with Sony and they were doing the original soundtrack album for the Olympics and they got me to direct Tina Arena singing The Flame.
Your 2008 doco Not Quite Hollywood, about Australian B-movies of the 1970s and '80s, won an AFI award and fans around the world. Were you surprised by its success?
Totally. Some of the subject matter is quite extreme but people seemed to forgive that because there was such energy and no one was at all apologetic about any of the films in it. It was a time before computer-generated images, when people were fearless and stupid but they did all they could to get the best images on screen. It alternated between funny and kind of jaw-dropping.
Where did the term Ozploitation come from?
Quentin Tarantino takes all credit for coining the expression but he called it Aussie exploitation and I kind of streamlined it to Ozploitation. We just needed a buzzword for R-rated Australian genre cinema which covered our low-budget crime films, our sex films, action and horror films.
Have you seen Tarantino since you interviewed him for Not Quite Hollywood?
When he came to Australia promoting Inglourious Basterds I got together a lot of Not Quite Hollywood people who he'd always wanted to meet and we all went out to dinner. [Producer] Tony Ginnane got Quentin to write a note suggesting that Screen Australia should finance the remake of Patrick and sign it.
Why did you want to become a filmmaker?
I'm the right age to be a Star Wars kid – it just blew our minds.
What were your viewing habits as a child?
Because of Not Quite Hollywood and [the follow-up doco] Machete Maidens Unleashed, people just assume that I sit at home screening exploitation films one after the other, but I have a very broad appreciation of film. When I was a kid, it was all the Ray Harryhausen dinosaur films and lots of '50s sci-fi like The Day the Earth Stood Still.
You've also helped preserve the stories behind mainstream Australian films. How?
I put together the DVD releases for all Umbrella Entertainment's Australian back catalogue, so I ended up doing making-of documentaries on Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Getting of Wisdom, Don's Party, probably about 60 Australian films. A lot of the people we interviewed are no longer with us.
Is the Australian film industry in good shape?
It's difficult to get someone to leave their home to spend $16 to $18 at the cinema. It's even harder to make them feel the films we're making in Australia – which are much smaller, contained films – are worth that spend.
Patrick premieres at the Melbourne International Film Festival on July 27

The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is enjoying the new year by being the most awarded minivan of the year. It has received 30 honors in 2016 and seems to be poised to continue collecting awards and adulation from the car press and drivers.
Most recently, the new and popular minivan was named by automotive journalists from both the US and Canada as the 2017 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year. That brings the yearly total of awards for 2017 up to 12.
The Chrysler Pacifica is bringing style back to the minivan segment and is being noticed for it.
"When we first introduced the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica just one year ago, we believed that we had created the perfect formula for today's busy families," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands for FCA North America after receiving the award for 2017 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year. "But it's the recognition from our customers and respected opinion leaders like the NACTOY jury that helps to reinforce Pacifica's status in the marketplace as the no-compromises minivan, and highlights what a great job the entire team has done in developing, building and selling the all-new Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid."
As 2017 continues on and more and more drivers get the chance to take the Pacifica for a drive, the more love it will be getting.
Learn more about the upcoming 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid by contacting us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Make sure you like us on Facebook and Google+ and follow us on Twitter to stay up to date on auto news.

Jack B. Grubman, a former star telecommunications analyst, told a friend in an e-mail message early last year that his boss, Sanford I. Weill, the chairman of Citigroup, helped to secure spots in an exclusive Manhattan nursery school for Mr. Grubman's twin daughters after he began recommending that investors buy AT&T stock.
The description of the e-mail message was provided by a person involved in investigations of Mr. Grubman's role on Wall Street, as well as two others who were briefed on it, and the contents of the message were not disputed by Mr. Grubman last night. Mr. Grubman's children attended the school, and Citigroup pledged $1 million to the organization that runs it, the 92nd Street Y.
In a statement to top executives late yesterday, Citigroup acknowledged the attempt by Mr. Weill, who was an AT&T director, to help Mr. Grubman's children get into the school but denied it was connected to the analyst's upgrade of AT&T's shares. Mr. Grubman released a statement in the early evening confirming that he wrote the message but said that it was ''nothing more than an extended invented story.''
The circumstances surrounding Mr. Grubman's abrupt change in the fall of 1999 to an upbeat view on AT&T from a long-held negative one have come under intense scrutiny from investigators in the office of Eliot Spitzer, the New York attorney general, and NASD, formerly called the National Association of Securities Dealers. They are trying to assess whether research practices at the Salomon Smith Barney unit of Citigroup were corrupted by the firm's investment banking relationships, or desired relationships, with corporations. The e-mail message was among records Citigroup turned over in the investigations.
Central to the investigations is Mr. Grubman's upgrade of AT&T in November 1999. Soon afterward, Salomon reaped lucrative fees from an offering of shares in AT&T's wireless subsidiary, which was spun off to the public in April 2000.Continue reading the main story
Yesterday, Mr. Weill acknowledged publicly for the first time that he had urged Mr. Grubman in 1999 to ''take a fresh look'' at AT&T. In a statement, Mr. Weill said that his request of Mr. Grubman was not meant to be viewed as pressure on the analyst to upgrade AT&T, a company which Mr. Grubman rated a tepid ''hold'' at the time. Nevertheless, Mr. Grubman soon did raise his rating on AT&T to ''buy.'' A few months later, in April 2000, Salomon won a coveted role selling shares in AT&T's wireless division to investors.
Alix Friedman, a spokeswoman for the 92nd Street Y, said that Citigroup made a grant of $1 million over five years to the organization in the early summer of 2000. The money is used to underwrite artistic and cultural performances for audiences at the Y, she said. The Y Nursery School, which emphasizes Jewish rituals and culture, is highly selective and has 175 students.
As for the e-mail message linking Mr. Grubman's upgrade of AT&T to his daughters' entry into the 92nd Street Y's nursery school, Mr. Weill said, ''I tried to help Mr. Grubman because he was an important employee who had asked for my help.'' Mr. Weill said he called the school on behalf of Mr. Grubman's children but did not say when. He added that Citigroup's grant was consistent with the company's philanthropy, but he did not say whether the money was given to persuade the school to admit Mr. Grubman's children.
As the top executive of Citigroup, Mr. Weill presumably has much influence over the company's charitable contributions.
Some securities lawyers said that it would be difficult to prove such a contribution was done in exchange for Mr. Grubman's upgrade of AT&T. ''You would have to show that it's designed to improperly influence your employee's judgment in terms of a stock recommendation,'' said Lewis D. Lowenfels, an authority in securities law at Tolins & Lowenfels in New York. ''On its face, this does not seem to fit within that category. In the context of the federal securities laws, it would seem to be an immaterial event.''
But Alan Bromberg, professor of securities law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, said that the contribution did not look good for Citigroup. ''It is a dubious way to use corporate funds,'' he said. ''And it indicates that lots of things were going on behind the scenes; not a very good way to run a business that advises investors.''
Mr. Grubman's credibility was damaged on Tuesday when he disavowed another statement he had made about Mr. Weill in the same e-mail message, which was reported in The Wall Street Journal. In the message, he said Mr. Weill had asked him to upgrade AT&T to gain the support of its top executive, C. Michael Armstrong, who was also a Citigroup director. The message said Mr. Weill sought Mr. Armstrong's help in a boardroom power struggle with John S. Reed, then co-head of Citigroup, who subsequently resigned. That statement was a fabrication, Mr. Grubman said yesterday, ''to inflate my professional importance.'' And Mr. Weill called that part of the e-mail message ''sheer nonsense,'' adding, ''I would never attempt to manipulate a board member's vote.''
''Mike Armstrong only considered the best interests of Citigroup shareholders when making decisions as a director,'' said Eileen Connolly, an AT&T spokeswoman.
Almost since the day three years ago that Mr. Grubman raised his rating on AT&T, speculation has swirled that Mr. Weill played a part in the analyst's about-face. Mr. Grubman had been known for his dim view on AT&T and shortly after the wireless offering was made to investors, he lowered his rating on the company once again to hold.
In his statement, Mr. Weill said: ''I have said before, and will say again: I never told any analyst what he or she had to write and I never would. I did suggest to Jack Grubman that he take a fresh look at AT&T in light of the dramatic transformation of the company and the industry. I always believed that Mr. Grubman would conduct his own research and reach independent conclusions that were entirely his own.''
But current and former analysts said that a simple request from Mr. Weill would probably be perceived as an attempt to influence the analyst. '' 'Just take a fresh look' is 90's code for change your opinion,'' said Tom Brown, chief executive of Bankstocks.com and a former brokerage firm analyst. ''At the investment banks in the 90's, everybody realized we were making money because of transactions. Whether it was your direct boss, the head of equity trading, head of investment banking or the C.E.O. of the firm, the type of pressure that was put on you was exactly what Sandy did.''
Charles I. Clough, former strategist at Merrill Lynch and now principal at Clough Capital Partners in Boston, said that in his years on Wall Street he had never felt pressure from top executives to reassess an investment view. ''It would be hard pressure to shrug off if it's from someone that high up,'' he said, referring to Mr. Weill. ''It would take some courage to shrug that off.''
Mr. Grubman, then the most powerful telecommunications analyst on Wall Street, certainly had the stature to maintain his hold rating on AT&T. In his statement yesterday, he once again said that his research on AT&T was always based on the company's merits. ''I did ask Sandy Weill to help with the preschool, and he did help, but none of that had anything to do with my research,'' he said.
But the existence of an e-mail message written by Mr. Grubman that disputes his claims of only writing research that he believed in may hurt his defense among the securities regulators who are considering taking action against him.
''I think it's fair to say that Jack is influenced by what other people can do for him and therefore that his opinions are not entirely objective,'' Mr. Bromberg said. ''Exactly what effect that had on what he was telling investors or what he's telling the enforcement people right now is hard to say. But it's clear that he had self-interest and that he received a benefit.''
A front-page article on Thursday about an e-mail message sent by Jack Grubman, the former telecommunications stock analyst, in which he told a friend that his boss helped to secure spots in an exclusive Manhattan nursery school for Mr. Grubman's twins, referred incorrectly to their sex. (The error was repeated in an article and a picture caption yesterday about the nursery school, at the 92nd Street Y.) One twin is a boy; they are not both girls.

The power in boardroom pay remains with the men
British women executives earn more than £400,000 less than their male counterparts throughout their careers, despite efforts to bring equality to the boardroom.
The average man in an executive role earned a basic salary of £40,325 over the 12 months to August, compared with £30,265 for a woman in the same type of role, according to a survey by the Chartered Management Institute.
This means that a woman and a man taking on executive roles at the age of 25 and working their way up the career ladder until retiring at 60 would take home pre-tax totals of £1,092,940 and £1,516,330, respectively.
Ann Francke, the CMI's chief executive, said: "We need an immediate and collaborative approach to setting things straight. The Government should demand more…

All hail Wordle, rocrastination tool extraordinaire. Feed it some text, and it spits it out looking all prettified. Here's a chunk from the beginning of Biscuits & Lies:
I'm intrigued, and I'm writing the bloody thing. I invite you to speculate wildly.
Then again, commentfiend Josie has worried me with her lament at my shoddy lack of updates. 'I can only conclude' she says, 'that you are a) working very, very hard, b) putting your fingers in your ears and going lalalala to the world in general or c) off in another time and space dimension with the Doctor and have forgotten that time is passing for us mere mortals.' You lot know me far too well, and will doubtless be able to predict the entire book just from 'Zogpeople'. (Obviously, it's (c). Though I did make sure he got me home in time to watch 'Turn Left', or there would've been trouble. That was a bit good, wasn't it? And I say this as one of those people who got all sniffy about Catherine Tate last year. ILU, Donna. Now to endure a whole week before the next one…)
Margery Allingham, The Beckoning Lady. Obligatory summer indulgence: reading Campion in the garden, with a very large cup of tea. It's one of the later ones, but written as a sort of fond cover version of the early fluff: country house murder mystery starring some old familiar faces. Tripled nostalgia. And wondrousness such as this:
'It's always jolly frightening when one's friends fall in that sort of love.'
'Well, they're never the same again, are they? A fusion of metals and all that. I mean, love isn't a cement, it's a solvent.'
Naturally, it's Amanda talking sense, while Albert fusses proprietorially to no effect whatsoever. Why she and Campion don't have the same beloved status as Lord Peter and Harriet Vane baffles me: she might not be as prone to quotation, but she's essentially a grown-up Petrova Fossil. Who now helps solve mysteries. What's not to love?
Armpits! Zogpeople! Wheee! I continue to fail mightily at plot structure, but it'll all come out in the wash, probably. This week, I have been mostly wielding the godlike power to revive the dead. It's really quite satisfying. I've also managed to whittle down my plethora of Simons, but have since discovered two people called Cooper. *rests head wearily on desk*

The Squire nine-hole golf course at Scottsdale's Starfire Golf Club is now available for play. The Hawk and King courses will continue to be available as Starfire's 18-hole experience.
Upon reopening, the rate to play Squire will be starting at $20 to walk and $26 with a golf cart. Two special promotions will be available: a "9 and Dine" promotion offering nine holes and choice of breakfast or lunch; and a "9 and Wine" promotion offering nine holes of golf and a drink ticket.
"The new routing gives us much more flexibility to accommodate a variety of golfers ranging from accomplished players pressed for time to junior golfers just getting into the game," said Jason Brill, head golf professional for Starfire Golf Club. "The latter really goes to the heart of 'growing the game,' which is a huge priority for anyone involved with golf. And we highly encourage golfers to walk the course to maximize the exercise benefits."
The Squire course plays to 2,782 yards from the back tees at par 34 with two par 5s, three par 4s and four par 3s. The King/Hawk course plays to a par 70 at 6,106 yards from the back tees with four par 5s, eight par 4s and six par 3s.
"Given the fact that most people are short on time as well as watching their budgets, the 9-hole course addresses those issues while also making room to enjoy the things that surround the game," said Matt Lupton, general manager of Starfire Golf Club. "Walking the course is great exercise; it's perfect for spending time with family and friends; and it allows more time to hang out on the patio to enjoy happy hour. League play also is much easier to accommodate. In the coming months, we will be rolling out a number of appealing time and money-saving golf opportunities for our guests."
Located in the heart of Scottsdale, Starfire Golf Club offers 27 holes of golf designed by Arnold Palmer. The 2,782-yard, par-34, 9-hole Squire and the 6,106-yard, par-70, 18-hole King/Hawk offer parkland-style golf experiences with fairways flanked by mature trees and shimmering water hazards.
The Starfire Grille serves up breakfast, lunch and happy hour daily in a comfortable Arizona indoor-outdoor setting. Starfire also hosts a variety of gatherings such as group golf tournaments, weddings and receptions, corporate events and meetings, holiday parties and other special events at the newly renovated Palmer Ballroom, which opens to a spacious covered patio and manicured event lawn.

CODICES SELECTI, Vol. XXI
The Antiphonary of Saint Peter in Salzburg is a work of art of such high rank that only very few other liturgical books equal it. It was used for almost 800 years in Saint Peter's Abbey for Masses on solemn occasions, and kept in the library or the treasury of the monastery for the rest of the year.In addition, the Antiphonary constitutes one of the most impressive manuscripts of the 12th century, both in terms of size and volume, with a total of 846 pages and a format of 433 x 310 mm. As it was not only destined for practical use alone but also for solemn representation, its decorative apparatus outshines all other achievements of illumination from this period.Colourful miniatures on golden grounds as well as ornamental pages with luxurious golden initials on purple grounds illustrate the liturgical text. Twelve richly embellished calendar pages, two Easter tables, and pen drawings on green and blue grounds, adorn the manuscript, much like the more than 400 decorated initials mostly containing motives of flora and fauna.

Capri Cavalli (born March 14, 1982 in Vancouver, Canada) is a Canadian porn star and adult model of Italian descent.
Breast enlargement
Breasts augmented from C to D. Breasts augmented again, from D to DD in June 2012.
Capri was born and raised in a small town outside of Vancouver.[3] After graduating from high school, she attended college to become a veterinarian. During her time at college, she worked in a small animal hospital.[3] During her college years, she began modeling lingerie and swimsuits. Capri actively modeled for 4 years in Vancouver.[3]
In 2008 Capri decided to start a career in the adult industry.[3] She moved to California in May 2008 and started shooting for Vivid. Her career immediately took off and she performed in movie and website work for Vivid, Brazzers Network and Naughty America in rapid succession, as well as for other companies including Hustler.[3] As a result, the members of her growing fan base can find her work on many different web sites, which added to the variety of her work: Capri has performed in solo, girl/girl, boy/girl and even group shoots. Interestingly enough, she worked together with Taylor Wane and Kelly Madison, two big boob stars in their own right!
At 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m)[1], Capri is rather petite, which makes her full C-cup breasts striking features. Capri has four piercings (left nostril; both nipples; navel)[1] and a couple of tattoos (three Chinese characters left above pubes; 2 fish on lower back; "Scegli tu" on inside right wrist; "Vita o Morte" on inside left wrist. A small tattoo on her back seems to recently have been enlarged).[1] She is a brunette, though in some shoots she has appeared blonde also. Some early softcore shoots were published under the alias of Angel Rose.[1] Recently Capri seems to have changed her alias to Capri Cavanni.
In September 2009 Capri launched her web site, where new content has been made available frequently. Capri is most definitely an internet personality, communicating with her fans via MySpace, Twitter, and her blog on her web site, which not only paid members but also guests can follow. In addition to the content on Capri´s personal web site, it is also possible there to ask her to send out personal items, and she accepts gifts from her fans. All of this has undoubtedly contributed to Capri´s popularity: In the fall/winter of 2009/10 she made her way into the Top 50 of babe rankings on FreeOnes.com. Her current babe ranking is 159 and there is a lot of affectionate comments by her fans.[1]
In the summer of 2010 Capri announced some more content for her web site, as well as an upcoming DVD was in production. [4] She also said she planned to do exotic dancing.[4] In fall 2010 Capri annouced she would not do any more boy/girl shoots for the time being, citing changes in her personal life as the reason.[5] However Capri was still under contract by OC Models fo girl/girl shoots and the like.[6] In the summer of 2011 Capri announced she would again perform in boy/girl shoots.[7] At the same time she said she was now actively pursuing her B.Sc. in Nursing.[7]
In 2011 Capri launched another web site. If this is to become a new personal xxx site or an extended blog is still unknown.
Capri is based in Los Angeles, California.[3] As of September 2011, she has starred in more than 40 adult movies.

|Enterprises may have different types of SAP projects – implementation, support, roll out and upgradation, requiring diverse roles of consultants. However, testing is an integral part of all.
Choice of the right testing methodologies, techniques and technologies helps in controlling the project trade-off. The process would generally involve unit, integration, regression and acceptance testing that enables the development of a system that provides more value, is faster and carries less risk. Development and testing process running parallel means less repetition.
Questions that testing consultants need to resolve include How to enforce disciplined testing; Use unit, functional, integration or acceptance testing, or all in advance; How to ensure that the build complies with the tests; Do manual or automatic testing; How to track bugs; How to make tests relevant; How to integrate testing with issue tracking; and How to determine the cause of test failure.
Possible approaches to testing are test coverage, test automation, test driven development, behavior driven development, test/spec convergence, exploratory testing and continuous integration.
Unit testing is performed to ensure that the development objects are performing as per the requirement and design specs.
Objective of functional integration testing is to verify proper execution of the entire application factoring in the interfaces to external applications. Integrated components of the configured transactions and the development objects must function according to the requirements. Various business scenarios are tested prior to the user acceptance testing.
Regression testing is done each time any new patch of code is written, or any fix has been applied in one of the system components. This is to determine that the changes executed do not tamper with any of existing functionalities. Regression testing needs to be particularly done on the time of new releases.
User acceptance testing is conducted by business end users to validate that the system meets requirements relevant to the functional areas. The system must be acceptable from the users' perspective.
Few testing companies in India can deliver on the testing requirements for SAP projects. This makes it imperative for enterprises to be very selective when choosing a consultant.

I'll post in English as always as possible!
Here is some info about me and my work.
Feel free to contact me, I'll be pleased to answer you!
You are also welcome to see all my work here:
About me
My name is Margarida Carreira, I was born in 1973 in Coimbra - Portugal - and grew up in Évora. I went to art school in Lisbon and graduate in 1997. One year later, somewhere between Évora (where I lived) and Zambujeira do Mar (where I teached) I began the "bonito serviço!" venture, my own ceramic painting project. I end up giving up teaching to dedicate more time to my project. "Bonito serviço!" was registred as national brand in 2000 and I began selling my work in design stores in Portugal.
I now live and work in Águeda, Portugal, and have two beautiful daughters.
About the project
The project idea is to gather the ceramic toughness to a light grafic design; to gather the special to the daily; the creativity to the useful. I always loved the ideia of creating a one-of-a-kind object that people can really use everyday! in daily or special ocasions...to have breakfast, a cosy tea in a winter afternoon, a celebrating dinner or your baby's first meal.
the designs are made by me and can be customize and specially created by order, to be a one-of-a-kind daily used object. this is for sure the perfect present for someone you love, including yourself!
Machine wash is possible but hand wash is recommended for longer durability.
About the name
"bonito serviço!" is a Portuguese expression that gets lost in translation. "bonito" means beautiful and "serviço" means work but also set, like tea set. So it means "nice work" or "nice set". But as an expression it's totally ironic and it means something like "look what you've done!". So it's like a two-in-one expression that brings a smile to everyone that finds it as my project's name, because is so perfect for it.
The name's idea came to me long before the project's one, because I've always liked to play with words and imagine funny names for imaginaries projects.

Play at Jacks or Better 50-line free
3.5 out of 5 - from 24 votes
Rate this game:
The 50-Line Jacks or Better game by Playtech is an online video poker machine. In addition to being a take on the original, purest form of video poker, the machine plays the game 50 hands at a time. Before you start the games read more about Jacks Or Better best strategies on our blog.
The game offers three coin sizes: $0.25, $0.50 and $1. You must set the coin size and then, like with standard Jacks or Better, choose to play one to five coins per hand. The paytable is nearly standard and scales evenly for the most part, but there is a significant bonus at the royal flush level when playing five coins. Use the plus and minus button to set the coin size, the Bet One button to choose the number of coins per hand and the Deal button to begin the round. Keep in mind that you are playing 50 hands at a time, which means that if you choose five coins at $0.25 per, the total bet will be $62.50. The smallest possible bet per round is $12.50, and the largest is $250.
Special Features
The 50-Line Jacks or Better game deals you a single five-card hand, and that hand is mirrored on the big board of 50 hands. You must then make hold and discard choices, which are then also mirrored. You must press Deal again to begin the second half of the game and then the game deals the replacement cards individually for each of the 50 hands. The Double and Double Half options that are presented after wins on most Playtech video poker games (check our list here), are present here as well, and the double win limit is $2,000. Your winnings from all hands for a given round are lumped together, and that is the amount you may choose to gamble against.
Graphics & Audio
The layout is well-organized and easy read. The playing cards are also large and clear. The overall design is attractive if not a bit dated, but it certainly resembles the multi-hand video poker machines that one is likely to find at the local pub. Use of music and sound effects is minimal but effective.
A royal flush pays out 4,000 coins, which is worth $4,000 at the max coin size. Since you can hit the royal flush on all 50 hands, the maximum jackpot per hand is $20,000. It is also possible to hit the Double limit of $2,000 for a maximum single-round payout of $22,000.
Video poker is a relatively predictable game over the long term, and the 50-hand variant gives players that same benefit but over a shorter span. This variant is not for everyone because it does make the experience a bit mechanical, but it is a great option for those who want to maximize their playing time.

CHICAGO – "When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way … " And there is no more appropriate way to lyrically pay tribute to a classic staging of the Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim musical, "West Side Story." There is a new staging currently at Lyric Opera of Chicago, which runs through June 2nd, 2019. Click here for more details and tickets.
Humankind Gets a Necessary Lesson in 'The Insult'
Rating: 4.0/5.0
CHICAGO – The clash of ideologies or religion that result in war is one of the most emotional of reasons to fight (and convenient for those who manipulate such emotions). "The Insult," a contender for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, shows how feelings can escalate to bitter conflict.
The film is set in Beirut, Lebanon, that is building towards a safe harbor for their citizens in a post-war era… especially the Palestinian refugees. But this is not without consequence, and it's illustrated through a confrontation between a Christian Party mechanic and a Palestinian construction worker. What starts as an exchange of misunderstood insults, becomes a trial of the century, and a powder keg with a burning fuse for the broader opposing factions in Lebanon. Exquisitely acted and highly moral, the film creates human representatives for long-simmering resentments, and holds up that humanity to the light.
Tony Hanna (Adel Karam) is a car mechanic in Beirut, Lebanon, who has never been happier. His wife Shirine (Rita Hayek) is expecting a child, and his domestic situation has never been calmer. He is watering the plants on his balcony when his broken gutter pipe pours water on a construction worker named Yasser (Kamel El Basha). Yasser is responsible for fixing it, and proceeds to do so without Tony's permission.

This causes Tony to snap and destroy the pipe, which causes Yasser to hurl a harsh insult. Tony demands an apology through a mutual friend, and the two men confront each other again, only to have Tony hurl an insult towards Yasser, one that motivates Yasser to punch Tony. When the details of this encounter becomes public knowledge in a court trial, the side representing Tony (Christian Party anti-immigrants) and the side representing Yasser (Palestinians) also begin to escalate emotionally, which could lead to greater conflict.
The story is absorbing, because it is entrenched in a long journey of war and remembrance in the country of Lebanon. Their civil war lasted for 16 years (1974-1990), and the effects are still simmering and lingering. In summing up the clashes by starting with two men, the film exposes conflict at its basest and most emotional level. The men are human beings, but they are also living through a country/ideology, and are influenced through those artificial constructs.
The understanding of the characters, and how they are presented, are the greatest strengths of writer (with Joelle Touma) and director Ziad Doueiri in balancing the story toward an outcome. Both Tony and Yasser have pasts that haunt them, and in showing those pasts both men have inner justifications, and roots in how stubborn they are. Kamel El Basha as Yasser has the calmest outer demeanor, yet his trigger point is Tony's much discussed invective. Adel Karam as Tony wears his emotions on his sleeve, and will not let go of what he believes is his due. Understanding both these men is to understand Lebanon.

There is a bit of melodrama that weakens the narrative a bit. The trial itself conveniently becomes a face-off between a bulldog (and anti-Palestinian) prosecutor and his defense attorney daughter. This again brings home the conflict through human beings, but the coincidence wasn't necessary, and distracting. Also throughout the film, Tony and Yasser find themselves alone together, and one such meeting plays out in a Solomon-like conclusion for Yasser in proving his case. As Woody Allen once said, the reason we create art is because we can't get it right in real life.
One of the best reasons for experiencing the Best Foreign Language Film category in the Oscars (and even the Golden Globes) is to glimpse other cultures through the reflection of their cinema. What is found is usually a reflection of the broader human desire to be safe and happy, despite the inner turmoil of our stations and influences in life. "The Insult" is part of that turmoil, and hopefully – for the sake of our survival – it will become easier to say "I'm sorry."

Personally, I think Jessica Chastain's entire vibe is too "classy" to appear semi-naked in a GQ UK pictorial. It feels wrong and like an unexpectedly trashy move from an actress who has no need to rely on her "sexy" photo shoots to sell her extraordinary work. Like, this photo shoot is more of an Ashley Greene or Jessica Biel move. However, the last time Chastain appeared on a women's magazine, it was Marie Claire and that photo shoot was TERRIBLE. At least Jessica actually looks pretty in this shoot.
Jessica appears on the January cover of GQ UK to promote Zero Dark Thirty, the Kathryn Bigelow film about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Bigelow was trying to make this film for years, even before Navy Seals raided the Pakistani compound where Bin Laden had been living for years. Apparently, Bigelow got help from the Obama administration so that the half-true, half-fictional film would be more realistic. Chastain plays one of the CIA operatives searching for Bin Laden, and there's lots of buzz that Chastain could be up for her second Oscar nomination for the role. Here are some highlights from Chastain's GQ interview:
On Zero Dark Thirty and Bin Laden: 'This film will make news. We all think we know how it ended. We don't. And this movie is about how it really ended. It is shocking. When I first read the script, I was blown away by this woman. The sacrifices she made and what she had to do. It's something I still get very emotional about. What happens when you live for this one goal? And then you achieve it.'
Relating to CIA agents: 'I can relate to those aspects of being in the CIA. For the last three years, my life has been work and only work. I do miss my family. I do feel cut off from my friends. Listen, I know being in the CIA is a lot more important that being an actress, but I do feel some empathy with the loneliness: you give away yourself.'
Ginger angst: 'You Brits are usually so mean to your redheads. Why is that? In America it's seen as a good thing. Look at Julia Roberts – she's cool, right? I was working in Thailand and I'd be walking down the street and people – British people – would stop the car and scream, "ginger!" at me.'
On working with Brad Pitt in Tree of Life: 'He didn't have a huge entourage, nothing like that. He just showed up on his motorcycle on the very first day and went, "Hi, I'm Brad." You just heard the rumbling of his bike and he'd appear like James Dean, or Marlon Brando from The Wild One. He was kind, he was generous, he'd never heard of me but he never made me feel less.'
Sex symbol status? 'I always find sex scenes embarrassing. But at times they are necessary – I get that. It's a huge compliment when someone says you're attractive, especially when I was such an awkward kid – I was very tomboyish, with very short red hair, running around with cowboy boots on. So when someone tells me I'm a sex symbol I'm like, "what?". But I'll take what I can get. That'll teach all those boys back in Junior High! In fact, I hope my very first boyfriend, the guy I dated for one month and who broke up with me at the Valentine's Day Dance – I hope that boy reads this article.'
The anti-ginger thing is so crazy to me. Gingers are awesome! I don't understand how a supposedly modern culture can have such anti-ginger bigotry. Of course, I've also wondered if Jessica is a real redhead… I guess she is?
Also: I should note that within the GQ article and all of the press for Zero Dark Thirty, Chastain is being identified as "35 years old". I do think that's probably right – Jessica never tells her real age, but a year ago, she was widely identified as "around 30 years old".

A man who posed as a Saudi Prince has denied kidnapping a visitor.
Dubai Court of First Instance heard how the 33-year-old Saudi defendant and other two men have ben charged with kidnapping, locking up the Dutch victim and robbing him.
The Saudi was also charged with assaulting the victim with a belt.
Records show the Dutch visitor traded in gold and rare stones and was contacted by the Saudi, who claimed to be a prince and said he wanted to sell some gold.
He said they met at a hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road and the trio took them to a flat in Sharjah.
Official records state that they locked the Dutchman in a flat and forced him to pay them money.
They then took off his clothes and took photographs of him naked.
"I escaped after one of them tried to rape me but I resisted him. I was afraid, thinking he was a real Saudi prince," he added.
The three have denied the charges and the case was adjourned.

Dear Reader,
I am thankful for a lot of things. A lot. Like my children and my husband, and my family and my friends. But also I am thankful for cocktails. If you are still trying to figure out what to serve with your turkey, here is a delicious concoction that will go perfectly with not only said fowl, but all those side dishes as well. I heard about the Stone Fence on the Rachel Maddow show after she was served one at a White House cocktail party. It turns out that this was the favorite drink of Thomas Jefferson, so what could be more perfect on this most American of days? Cheers.
Stone Fence
Apple Jack, Brandy, or Bourbon
Apple Cider
Dash Bitters
Sprig of mint
Add each to a glass in proportions according to your taste for booze. Plop in a couple of ice cubes. Drink.
I must also give a shout out of thanks to the University of Kansas Hospital and the Richard and Annette Block Cancer Care Pavilion for taking such great care of my mother. Much appreciation sent to Kansas. Happy Thanksgiving.

In my hometown which is very old ( 760 years old) there are a lot of interesting places to visit. I can say in the every corner of the city you can notice something interesting.
Yesterday while I was walking I saw a beautiful house which is located next to a main street and it dates back from 1900 but it is well-preserved.
And the second one is the chapel which is located near my block of flats. It is the chapel which was built in 1859-1862 by locals farmers. The farmers built it because they wanted to thank God for salvation of cholera epidemic which was very serious in this area and there were thousands victims here.


text: NEWS New Decision: Springing Condominium Association Sprung (Dimitri v. Commercial Center of Miami Master) September 17, 2018 The Third District Court of Appeal issued its mandate in Dimitri v. Commercial Center of Miami Master Association, Inc., Case No. 3D16-2549 (Fla. 3rd DCA, August 8, 2018). The passage of time since the decision's issuance may allow for calmer analysis, and perhaps to reduce the initial alarm spawned by the slip opinion's publication. As one initial consideration, the decision is not likely to impact the status of "master" condominium associations created after 1991. Reversing thirty years of precedent, the status of many "Jungle Den" condominium "master associations" created before January 1, 1992, See Fla. Laws 1991-103 Sec 1 (PDF Volume 751/1084) is up in the air as a result of the Third District Court of Appeal's decision. The appellate court addressed whether the Condominium Act's 1991 amendment to §718.103(2), expanding the definition of "association" applies to a "master" association created before the January 1, 1992 effective date of the amendment, and whether a pre-1992 association that does not operate condominium property can be a condominium association even if the association is composed of only condominium unit owners. Background. No material fact appeared to be in controversy. The Association is described as a "master association for a group of buildings, each with its own sub-association." The decision recited that the Association was "formed" in 1982 "under" a recorded "Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements for the Commercial Center of Miami." The Articles of Incorporation stated that the Association was a "corporation not-for-profit under Chapter 617." Appellant "Dimitri owned six commercial condominium units located in one of the sub-associations." The Association apparently does not govern or administer condominium property. The dispute was triggered by what likely was first presented as a rather pedestrian conflict. The Association rejected Dimitri's March 2015, request to inspect specific Association official records. Dimitri's request was stated to be pursuant to the Condominium Association Act's Official Records process in §718.111(12), Fla. Stat. (2014). After the denial, Dimitri sought declaratory and injunctive relief, including a declaration that the master association was subject to the Condominium Act. The trial court granted the Association's motion for summary judgment. No Retroactive Application of Definition A substantial portion of the appellate court's discussion focuses upon whether the amended statutory definition has retroactive application. The appellate court found that the 1991 amendment to the Condominium Act expanded the definition of an "association" to include: in addition to any entity responsible for the operation of common elements owned in undivided shares by unit owners, any entity which operates or maintains other real property in which unit owners have use rights, where membership in the entity is composed exclusively of unit owners or their elected or appointed representatives and is a required condition of unit ownership. §718.103(2), Fla. Stat. (1992 Supp.); Fla. Laws 1991-103 §1 (PDF Volume 751/1084). The court reasoned that because the 1991 Law did not expressly provide for retroactive application and, perhaps more persuasive for the court, the Law expressly stated as an effective date that it "shall take effect January 1, 1992," there was no clear expression of a legislative desire for retroactivity. Thus, the court held that the new definition of "association" in §718.103(2) Fla. Stat. (1991) did not apply retroactively. 1982 Definition Not Applicable Continuing, the appellate court addressed whether the 1982 version of the Condominium Act applied to the Association, 1982 being the association's year of incorporation. The court focused on the statutory "association" definition which was limited to "operation of the condominium," which in term was "a term of art." Thus, because the Association does not solely administer condominium property the court determined that §718.103(15), Fla. Stat. (1981) does not apply. The Dimitri court supported its focus solely on the administration of "condominium property," by citation to the Florida Supreme Court's decision of Siegel v. Div. of Fla. Land Sales, 479 So.2d 112 (Fla 1985). The Dimitri decision stated that "the Florida Supreme Court did not find the test [constituency and function] to be persuasive or helpful in Siegel" remarking that the Third District's use of those tests, at 453 So. 2d 414 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1984), was overturned by the Florida Supreme Court. In addition, the Dimitri court derided the constituency and function tests as being "administrative interpretations" from the Department of Business and Regulation. Because the language of the statute, presumably §718.103(2) Fla. Stat. (1982), was plain and unambiguous an agency interpretation would not be utilized. Precedent Crumbler? In the wake of Dimitri's issuance, many commented that the opinion is, to say the least, inconsistent with Downey v. Jungle Den Villas Rec. Ass'n., Inc., 525 So. 2d 438 (Fla 5th DCA 1988). Long before the 1991 amendment to the Act, Jungle Den adopted the "constituency" test and the "function" test to determine whether a "master" type association is to be considered a condominium association. The constituency test asked "whether the recreation association's "membership is comprised of only condominium unit owners, and only condominium unit owners have rights in the property administered by the Association" The function test asked whether the association maintains or operates condominium property. Id. at 440-441. The Jungle Den court was concerned that consumers would be left unprotected by crafty drafting undermining the legislative intent behind the Condominium Act. The legislative intent of the requirement in section 718.110(4) of unanimous approval of any material alteration or modification of the appurtenances to a condominium unit should not be vulnerable to circumvention by the simple act of setting up an ostensibly independent corporation empowered to perform some of the functions of a condominium association but without the unit owner protection provided by chapter 718, Florida Statutes. Id. at 441. (Footnote omitted.) It should go without saying that Jungle Den, predating the 1991 amendments to the Condominium Act, did not base its reasoning upon the 1991 amendments. Jungle Den owed its conclusion to what the Fifth District Court of Appeal saw was a practical application of the Act. In essence, a developer's labeling of a project should not take precedence over what actually was the status of the Towers of Quayside Association. The Dimitri court should have been well aware of Jungle Den's rational because the Dimitri opinion begins with a reference to Jungle Den. In perhaps irony, the Fifth District recognizes that the issue is one that "has vexed" the courts! Dimitri's reliance on the Florida Supreme Court's decision in Siegel appears misguided because Siegel's facts showed that the association there could not meet either the constituency test or the function test. In Siegel, non-condominium unit owners and non-condominium property could be subject to the association. Thus, the Florida Supreme Court's statement of legislative intent with facts which could have not created a "Jungle Den condominium" was purely dicta. The Dimitri court's choice of phrases likely will not reassure readers. A condominium association is not created pursuant to Chapter 718 or the other community association laws. The distinction being that a condominium association is created by the corporate acts and governed by Chapter 718. Concerning the statutory amendment's effective date of the 1992, it is questioned whether that is legislative guidance because all bills now have effective dates which state when they can be enforced, not consistently stating whether there is retroactive impact. Stepping back a bit further for analysis, the Dimiti court's confusion may be foreshadowed by the court's terminology. For example, the court stated that the association "was formed" "under the recorded declaration of covenants…" not the articles of incorporation. A condominium association is not created pursuant to Chapter 718 or the other community association laws. The distinction being that a condominium association is created by the corporate acts and governed by Chapter 718. Furthermore, the decision speaks of Dimitri owning units in "one of the sub-association." This is as opposed to being a member of a sub-association or owning a unit in a condominium. This decision is certainly going to reverberate in many ways, first directly as to the administration of the master associations. It will be interesting also what becomes of the definition of a "master association." Second, in terms of statutory retroactive impair analysis will there now be an evaluation of whether the statute is procedural or provides remedies, or just rely on the effective date? Finally, stepping way back, this decision is a reminder that a seemingly minor situation, a request for records, can have astounding implications. But why was this dispute about access to records not mediated or arbitrated? Michael J.
