NNEDV Applauds Obama Administration's Proposed Gun Violence Policies
NNEDV Urges that Domestic Violence Homicides Be Addressed
January 16, 2013 - The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) applauds the recommendations put forward today by President Obama and Vice President Biden in response to the devastating impact of gun violence. The very fact that the Administration has undertaken this initiative represents a significant step forward in making our country a safer place.
"This Administration cares deeply about both gun violence and violence against women," said Kim Gandy, President and CEO of NNEDV. "The incidence of domestic violence homicide sits squarely at the intersection of these two important policy priorities."
More than three women a day, on average, are killed by an intimate partner, and guns play a large role in the level of lethality. We know that access to firearms dramatically increases the risk of intimate partner homicide, compared to instances where there are no weapons, and that abusers who possess guns tend to inflict the most severe abuse on their partners. Congress and the Administration must support targeted, effective policies that respond to the crisis of domestic violence homicide.
"Domestic violence is not a tangential issue," said Gandy. "It must be interwoven into the overall response to gun violence. The protections and restrictions on guns announced today will reduce the risks for victims of domestic violence, indeed for all people, and we are grateful to the Obama Administration for putting them forward. There is also a need for specific policies that focus on the particular risk that guns pose to victims of domestic violence."
The president's call for universal background checks will make a particular impact on victims of domestic violence. The lifesaving Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban already prohibits gun possession by those convicted of domestic abuse or who are subject to a domestic violence restraining order – indeed one study showed this restriction as the second most common reason for denial of handgun purchase applications. Yet many of those individuals have been able to access guns through private sale, on the Internet, or at a gun show, where background checks are not required, and the results have been devastating.
Legislation must close the private gun sale loophole, including Internet and gun show sales of firearms, and implement required background checks for all those seeking to purchase guns. This will dramatically reduce batterers' access to unregulated firearms.
There must also be increased federal support for consistent implementation of the Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban. Limited resources at the state and local level have hampered the positive impact of this legislation, and federal resources are needed to ensure that it is applied fully, consistently and effectively. There must also be support and funding for domestic violence homicide reduction initiatives and lethality assessments, and prioritizing of best practices in the development of model policies and protocol for law enforcement agencies in responding to domestic violence homicides. These funding investments must be matched by investment in services, as victim service providers see increases in referrals as these initiatives are implemented.
Finally, in addition to congressional action on all of the president's recommendations, Congress must also act promptly to lift restrictions that have prevented research on gun violence prevention by the Center for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, and other agencies and partners.
"We should all be outraged over how many women are killed by gun violence. When abusers have access to firearms, victims are in grave danger," concluded Gandy.

Domestic Violence and Firearms in Rhode Island
The high number of domestic violence deaths caused by firearms illustrates the extreme dangers that guns can bring to a home. Nearly 50 percent of the 196 domestic violence deaths in Rhode Island since 1980 have been caused by firearms. The presence of firearms greatly increases the danger not just for domestic violence victims, but also for bystanders – of the 33 domestic violence attacks on record resulting in multiple deaths, only 6 of those were not committed with guns and EVERY death of a child in those incidents was caused by a firearm.
RICADV has made many advances to address this very serious issue. Two critical achievements are highlighted below:
The Homicide Prevention Act
RICADV successfully advocated for the passage of the Homicide Prevention Act that removes guns from domestic violence abusers with a restraining order against them.
Domestic Violence and Firearms: A Model Protocol
The purpose of this project was to develop a model policy for Rhode Island's law enforcement agencies to use when responding to domestic violence calls involving firearms. Click here for the report.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage UK
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is a deep tissue oil massage followed by assisted yoga stretches. It is adjusted to suit clients – relaxing, energizing, soothing, deep or remedial. The method was developed by Master Kusum Modak in Pune, India, after many years of studying traditional ayurvedic massage and Iyengar yoga. AYM is an amazing technique which it works on many levels – physical, emotional, mental, energetic.. So each person seems to experience it differently. There are lots of testimonials on my website, to give you an idea (see http://aym.london/testimonials/). In practical terms, treatments include working with the whole body, with emphasis on the areas that need more work. The therapist starts with an oil massage with their hands and feet, gradually warming up and softening muscle tissues, fascia and organs, facilitating breathing and improving circulation. We work with the breath, so that the nervous system can let go, and this process can be effective as well as pleasant and effortless. We use natural oils and a powder from the ground root of Acorus calamus, a wetland plant in the sweetflag family. The use of calamus creates a pleasant exfoliating feeling, but mainly it helps improve blood circulation and warm up the tissues quicker, intensifying the benefits of the massage, such as detoxing and inducing a feeling of wellbeing. The oil massage is followed by assisted stretches, which help lengthen the tissues and can help bring a deep sense of relaxation and renewed energy. Through the stretches we also help relax tendons and ligaments, and renew the synovial fluid in joints. Both by working with oil massage and with stretches, we work close to the client's limits on the day, depending both on physical and psychological factors. We combine working to the limits with using the breathing to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system and release tension. Massaging or stretching tense muscles can cause pain, which can be agitating in certain situations. Mindful touch and deep, relaxed breathing, can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which not only helps release the agitation, but it helps retrain the nervous system to release quicker when agitating circumstances occur in our lives. This brings a lasting feeling of being centred, where we are less likely to feel agitated or restless, and experience increased clarity of thought. Ultimately we are also developing body awareness, and learning to listen to our bodies more.

A couple of minutes it took Dr Ellison to affix me appeared an eternity as I sat on your own in her workplace. My eyes scanned the wall powering her desk, absently scrutinising different levels and certifications. The silence was oppressive. Just possess a seat," her receptionist experienced stated. "Doctor will probably be along with you inside a moment. Am I able to get you some espresso? Some tea?" She smiled warmly. Thanks, no." Nodding, she turned absent and still left the space.

In "Captain Phillips," Tom Hanks stars in a parable about the brutal uncertainty of the global economy, where an American cargo ship captain and a Somali pirate are portrayed as men trying to make a living in an increasingly dangerous and desperate world.
The anxiety of the modern economy must be a resonant theme for Hanks -- he plans to tackle it again in "A Hologram for the King," a film he's scheduled to start production on next year with director Tom Tykwer.
"There's a screenplay," Hanks said, when asked about his future projects during a recent interview to promote "Captain Phillips." "Tom [Tywker] wants to make it. And that's the only thing that is even remotely close to being a movie that'll be made."
Tykwer, who shared directing credit with Andy and Lana Wachowski in Hanks' 2012 film "Cloud Atlas," adapted the script for "A Hologram for the King" from Dave Eggers' 2012 National Book Award-nominated novel of the same title.
The novel, which the New York Times called "a kind of 'Death of a Globalized Salesman,'" centers on Alan Clay, a struggling American consultant on a business trip in Saudi Arabia, where he hopes to close a deal to help him stave off foreclosure and pay his daughter's college tuition.
Hanks, whose Playtone production company is aboard to produce, will play Clay, a reprise of sorts of the unlucky everyman roles that he wears so well, from the hard-drinking baseball manager in "A League of Their Own" to the stranded FedEx employee in "Cast Away" to his current role as seaman Richard Phillips in "Captain Phillips."
Hanks, 57, who will also play Walt Disney during the making of "Mary Poppins" in the upcoming movie "Saving Mr. Banks," has given a lot of thought to the fears and frustrations of a middle-aged man in the modern economy.
"It is that concept of, we're getting older and this is getting a little bit harder," Hanks said. "The pressures, oddly, have grown. Even though we have more experience, it's actually harder to do this job now."

Operations management graduate schools could be your opportunity to take your career to the next level. Graduate school programs in operations management may include masters, doctorate, and graduate certificate programs. Earning your degree in operations management, you could hone important career skills by studying topics like data and business analytics, project management, logistics, financial analysis, and more. You could even pursue a degree specialization within operations management closely related to your career goals! And you might accomplish all of this with the support and resources of a convenient graduate school program.
Graduate school operations management degree programs may aim to support careers in operations management through building strategic skill sets. As an operations management professional, you might be responsible for overseeing resources and processes to ensure your organization is successful. You may also be responsible for things like balancing cost and revenue, overseeing project teams, managing supply chain, performing data analysis, and more, depending on the needs of your organization and your experience.
In an operations management graduate school program, you could acquire knowledge to facilitate those responsibilities. Some of the topics you might study include business analysis, data analysis and infrastructure, financial analysis, project management, and supply chain management. You may also build leadership and personnel management skills. Plus, in a program anchored on a campus in your community, you could access the supportive resources your school may provide, like research assistance, career guidance, and academic support. Studying alongside other current and aspiring operations management professionals, you may even be able to make valuable connections at the same time!
Additionally, more specialized operations management graduate school programs may be available. These could be focused on a specialty more closely tailored to your preferred career path, or designed with certain industries in mind. You might also choose to earn a graduate operations research degree. Some potential specialty degree options include:
When choosing your operations management graduate schools, you may need to balance a variety of priorities, from your career goals to learning objectives to conflicting obligations and scheduling. To that end, it is important to identify the type of student a program is designed to accommodate.
Some operations management graduate school programs may be designed to accommodate busy professionals, with flexible scheduling and night classes, and curricula that utilize a student's professional experience to support their learning.
However, other programs may have full time students in mind, or be designed primarily for new graduates with little to no professional experience who aim to earn their graduate degree immediately upon the culmination of their baccalaureate.
Make sure to identify your own learning preferences and needs, and follow up with the programs you're considering for more details. This might help you decide which programs may support your education and career most effectively.
In a graduate school masters degree program, you could develop important skills to support leadership positions. You could learn about managing teams of people, overseeing processes, and making crucial decisions to encourage your organization's effectiveness. You may also develop analytical skills to assist you in making strategic, data-informed decisions. Graduate school operations management masters programs might offer one of several degree types, including earning your Operations Management MBA, a Master of Arts (MA) or Master of Science (MS).
A doctorate in operations management could help you to demonstrate your expertise in your field. Earning your doctorate could support current or prospective leadership or c-suite positions, roles performing and analyzing operations management research, and even consulting. Some of the degree types you may pursue in a graduate school operations management doctoral program include your PhD, and DBA (Doctor of Business Administration).
Operations management graduate certificate schools could be a great option whether you're new to graduate study or have already earned an advanced degree. Graduate certificate programs in operations management might be shorter than degree programs, potentially allowing you to complete your program more quickly. In a certificate program, you might pursue more focused study of a specific topic or skill. Graduate certificates may be offered at the masters or post-masters level.
Ready to earn that operations management degree? If so, GradSchools.com wants to help you on your search for potential operations management graduate schools!

For one story, I think the doll is the one that I had left on the floor and Daddy stepped on when he carried out a bathtub of water. The legs were broken off and I cried because it was a special doll for me. Daddy felt bad, too. I learned a lesson the hard way about not leaving toys on the floor.

"I live in the poorest county in the country," says teacher-entrepreneur Dalinda Gonzalez-Alcantar of her 98% Hispanic, 90% low socio-economic area. "But, we're becoming more and more successful and sending record number of students to college,"
This change is due to educating families about how to academically support their children. "In all my talks with families, they all tell me that they come across for opportunity in education-- but, they don't know how to help their children in school," she explains.
"My big conviction was we're getting to the parents we don't even need to get to -- those kids and parents get everything, what about the rest?"
This determined Mom Congress delegate sought to bridge the communication and education barrier. She knew that most of her community did not own a computer with Internet access but they did own a cell phone. (A September 2012 report from Pew Internet found that 88% of American adults have a cell phone, 61% have a laptop, and 58% have a desktop computer.)
Her solution was to create mobile app called eJucomm which would communicate with parents. "I learned to do it on You Tube," laughs Gonzalez-Alcantar, a secondary art teacher.
This morning, Gonzalez-Alcantar wrote me an email update, "Recently we created a bully button for students to quickly and anonymously report bullying with the click of one button! The report goes directly to the counselor and sergeant on campus. The unveiling of this button came at such raw time in my life because I lost a former student to bullying! I had him for three straight years in my art class and he was the loveliest child with the kindest heart and mother. She would make me tamales and tacos and he would create wonderfully symbolic art. It was tragic and the bully button will soon be renamed to honor him."
The app available for any school. For more information, visit eJucomm.

Need a little advice on managing part time work, pumping, and freezing...
Here's the situation: My baby (my first) is 12 weeks old, and we've been breastfeeding very successfully, but my maternity leave is over and now I have to go back to work. Luckily I start back part time, three days/week. For the last half of my leave, I did one pumping session per day in the morning and froze most of it. I discovered I'm one of those "high capacity" gals and get 10-12 oz per session. I am wondering, once back at work, is it necessary or beneficial to continue with the once daily morning pump sessions? Or at this point, should I just leave the pump at the office and use it only on those three days/week when separated from baby?
My freezer stash is about 450 oz, which seems like a ton to me, but my friends all say "You'll be surprised how fast it goes!" Some sources warn that supply can drop once you go back to work... so should I keep pumping daily to keep saving more milk, in case my supply suddenly drops due to being separated from the baby? Or should I trust that my little piglet will keep the supply up just fine during the 4 days (and 7 nights) per week we are together? I don't mind the pump, per se, but there's no point taking it to extremes if I'll just be accummilating excess that will go to waste (and I can think of better things to do with that 20+ mins each day).
If I do cut out the extra daily morning pump session, should I expect engorgement? Will there be an unevenness in my breast fullness between the days I work/pump vs the days I'm home with baby and don't pump?
Thanks for the advice.

I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight (UK - DVD R2)
The Wilson Bros don their best 70s duds as they review Network's latest
Ah, Britain in the mid 1970s—punk was just about to hit, unions were causing headaches for the government and the British film industry was churning out soft-core sex comedies when hardcore was flourishing in both America and the rest of the civilised world. Yep, whilst everywhere else was watching Linda Lovelace tickle her tonsils in Deep Throat, the UK was proud to chuckle at sex whilst firmly keeping its socks on.
For all the of (comparatively) big-budget, studio-produced humorous smut-fests like the Confessions series, there were scores of bawdy sex comedies that were knocked off on the cheap and were in cinemas for even less time than a worker at a modern multiplex. These movies generally slipped through the cracks and barely even registered on home video in the eighties, so it is with a degree of enthusiasm (as we are enthusiasts of this much maligned sub-genre) that we delve into I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight…
You don't have to worry about waiting for the dirty stuff, as the film practically springs out of the traps, opening with iconic (and tragic) 70s sex-kitten Mary Millington sporting an Emmanuelle T-shirt. Her attention is attracted by a road-worker who swiftly gets her into his tent for an energetic bout of reckless rodgering, as our hapless, virginal hero, John Pigeon (Barry Andrews), can only stare at the tent and daydream about what is going on within. Such amorous failures go towards fuelling his pet project, one which could revolutionise the sexual world, more than the 60s ever achieved.
Andrews isn't the average office worker who can't get laid, but a member of an institute for sexual research. In his quest to get the object of his affection, secretary Cheryl Bascombe (Sally Faulkner) into bed, he has parlayed both his desires and government funding into the development of a machine that can turn anyone into a raving sex maniac. However, when his boss—assisted by an insidious American investor—want to steal the secrets of the amorous automation, our lowly inventor is going to his hands full in ways he could never imagine!
Yep, sexless nerds have struck back, with the creation of AGNES the sex computer, a device which uses aural stimulation to kick the libido into overdrive. When gorgeous office workers throw themselves at crusty old security guards, Andrews knows that it is time to unleash his machine onto the unsuspecting world. Sure, he suffers a complication when his moronic colleague is nearly turned gay upon exposure to the beam, but this doesn't stop our boffin from reconfiguring the device into a portable ray-gun version and heading for the outside world to conduct some less-than-clinical trials.
The concept of AGNES is every teenagers' dream, and in many ways cements the era in which the film was made. For most of us plebs, the 70s were a time when the sexual revolution of the previous decade seemed only to have happened to other people, and that everyone was getting laid was almost an urban legend. Andrews embodies this strange paradox, being an expert on the subject of sex but just can't get his end away. AGNES was born of a time when all advanced machines needed an acronym which spells a human name, not to mention out of a need to secure even a glimmer of joining in all the bedroom fun which the media purported everybody else to be having. Whilst the notion of a sex-ray is really nothing new, and we suspect that McGillivray got the idea from the head-scratchingly successful Flesh Gordon, released just a scant few years earlier, only a British film could have it created in the pursuit of only a single woman!
I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight was penned by none other than David McGillivray, writer who wrote the script for this in between coming up with screenplays for Pete Walker. In the 90s, the witty and sardonic McGillivray would write a book about the British sex movies, entitled Doing Rude Things, and his participation in I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight proves that he had extensive knowledge of the genre when it came to writing about it. One rather amusing scene showcases writer McGillivray's ability to get laughs from a subject whilst simultaneously ridiculing those who take it at face value. Andrews arrives at the conclusion that his dim-witted assistant (Keith Furey) might be gay, and explains how he would conduct himself in a restrained, understanding fashion toward the sexuality of his colleague: 'I'd have kept my distance and kicked his head in.'—these were obviously the days before the term 'diversity' was in general use.
The sex research institute is a marvel of 70s design and a reflection of the attitudes towards copulation of the time. The sterile building sees scantily-clad staff being chased through the corridors with lustful professors in hot pursuit. As a matter of fact, for those of us who have spent more time than they really need to watching old smut, one of the funniest concepts in the movie is the sight of a lecture-hall populated by people in white coats watching porno, thins being an ironic reversal of the old movies known as 'white-coaters'. Said films were ones which were allowed to feature nudity/sexual content on the proviso that it was hosted by a 'doctor' as a means of classifying it as educational. Obviously most exploitation filmmakers just put anyone they could find into a white coat and got them to read a cue-card in an authoritarian fashion, but it was enough to meet the criteria demanded. Did anyone see The Birth of Twins? The Birth of Triplets? You are probably spotting a pattern, here.
Indeed, there are many knowing nods to the genre, which comes from McGivilray being involved with a number of them. One particular sequence which put a couple of wry smiles on our jaded faces was one where the sex-ray was used on a traffic warden and police officer. Casual viewers will see it as getting one over on the skum (Fox Video copy of Return of the Jedi spelling!) who plonk tickets on cars, showing such loathsome creatures coaxed into coitus without consent or ability to resist. But for those of us who wear our dirty macs with pride, the scene is a canny parody of Nude on the Moon, Doris Wishman's epic of whispering telepathy, pointy tits and lunar antics.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was written at a time when harnessing vast amounts of natural energy via technological means and using that energy to create life or have an effect upon the human body. I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight attempts to continue that trend in a manner that was fitting of the late twentieth century; sexual scientists hooking up their machine to a mainframe was something that was explored further in the next decade with Weird Science and the events in I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight make for an interesting precursor to the John Hughes movie.
While the sexual politics (not to mention technology) might be of times past, it's pleasing to see that some things are still just as relevant. Purely in the interests of 'research', our hapless—and sexless—hero has entire rainforests of porn delivered to his house, much to the annoyance of the local postman who has to bring the backbreaking load. After dropping of the latest consignment, the disgruntled postie bids him a heartfelt 'Get stuffed' upon departure. Nice to see that the staff of the Royal Mail are just as eager to see the post get through these days.
With the interfering busybody known as Mary Whitehouse railing against just this kind of movie, it was only a matter of time before she was ridiculed by them. Here she is parodied in the form of Mrs Watchtower, a nosy, moralistic old cow who rails against immorality when it doesn't concern her. She ends up getting a good dose of the sex ray and gets a good seeing to once her tin drawers come down. This was particularly gratifying to us, who always hated they way Whitehouse imposed her religious morals onto others, lobbying though the courts whilst 'guiding' political bodies to achieve her goals. We always said that we would crack open a bottle of very nice champagne the day she died, and come autumn 2001, we got drunk on some lovely 'shampoo' at the passing of that sacred old cow.
To anyone who has seen the odd number of British sex comedies, most come as a bizarre, low-budget version of Hollywood Squares, as there are so many recognisable faces on display, as well as other body-parts. There weren't all that many women in the industry who were willing to get their kit off for the camera at the time, or at least quality crumpet, so the few who were got used over and over again. This leads to the familiar utterances of 'Oh yeah…it's her!' when watching these films, where you might not know their names, but a few things stick out—in your mind, of course.
As with many low budget movies, I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight makes use of real locations over sets, as it was cheaper to use something that already existed, rather than building a set from scratch. It was a masterstroke in that one of the locations just happened to be in an office block that was situated near the Telecom tower—or GPO tower, as it is called in the movie—and that was the perfect embodiment of phallic imagery that the technologically-based script for the movie required, as it was still relatively new and it represented the pinnacle of technological achievement in the UK, not to mention that it looked like a large erect penis…
What about the threads? Oh man, the fashions on display are really something else! Andrews is a walking example of why high-concept clothing should be the exclusive domain of women. A lot of the time, he embodies the tricky balance of dull/naff which the conservative chose to wear at the time, this being the combination of white polo-neck jumper with a brown parka. This is fine, but at one point, he dons a pair of trousers so verdant that the Green Cross Code Man would rip the guy a new arsehole for nicking them off of him.
One of the biggest surprises was to see that I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight was directed by none-other than Joe McGrath, a veteran of many comedy films and a man used to working with legends of the genre, with Leonard Rossiter and The Goons chief among these. Most famous was his work with Peter Sellers, including the distinctly odd adaptation of Terry Southern's The Magic Christian (which we are rather fond of) and The Great McGonagall.
The most widely seen of their joint ventures is still the infamous 60s version of Casino Royale, where he was responsible for all footage with Sellers, Ursula Andress and Orson Welles. To put the 1967 adaptation into perspective, imagine if a company had bought the first Harry Potter book, sat on the rights until another Warner hit the big times with the films, then said company spent £100 million on a wacky spoof version of Philosopher's Stone utilising only a few pages from the book? Our guess is that McGrath was spending time in 'director's jail' and his Hollywood career was on hold afterwards. The old anecdote about McGrath directing INFMT with his back to the actors though sheer disgust of being involved with project is one often told, and we reprint it here for the sake of balance.
McGrath brings a number of inventive touches to something which could have easily been set to 'auto-pilot' and still made money. During a bike-chase, our two protagonists are being chased by their nemeses on pushbikes, and McGrath films both parties going round a junction, but instead of just playing one after the other, he intercuts between the two, the camera panning at the same rate, creating a really clever effect. During this sequence, actress Sally Faulkner is visibly terrified of being on two wheels in a manner that recalls Babs Windsor during the final scene of Carry On Girls.
The performances in I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight are variable; lead actor Barry Andrews is fairly weak and uncharismatic, but is able to carry off this character in the same way Barry Evans managed to in Adventures of a Taxi Driver (and Mind Your Language), but James Booth as Jon's boss, Nutbrown is pretty good, along with Ben Aris putting in a good turn (and a fairly convincing accent) as Nutbrown's scheming American partner, Hildebrand.
Sally Faulkner is very good as Cheryl—Faulkner always has been an underrated actress who worked her way up from the bottom of the heap (she appeared in the godawful The Body Stealers for Tigon), but despite one or two high profile appearances on TV, she never really became the big star she should have been. It is worth noting for fans of Ms Faulkner, she briefly appears topless in one scene in this film—but any fan of hers has already seen her goodies in the much loved lesbian bloodsucker movie Vampyres.
Most British sex comedies try and drag in a respectable UK comedy stalwart to put on the marque and attempt to lend the thing a degree of respectability— Confessions of a Window Cleaner had John LeMesurier, Adventures of a Private Eye had Harry H Corbett and Keep It Up Jack had Frank Thornton. I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight keeps this trend by including the not-inconsiderable talents of that Man About the House, Brian Murphy, however, the thought of Murphy in possession of a sex drive is both wrong and terrifying. During the shows Man About the House and George and Mildred, there were constant demands for conjugal rights from the sexually predatory Mildred, but George always resisted her seemingly indefatigable libido. A final episode was rumoured to have been planned, but scrapped which entailed George finally conceding to his wife's lustful demands on the proviso that he gets anal...
There are a number of recognisable faces from British cinema, with our favourite being that of Marianne Stone. We've seen her in movies like The Hijackers, and others from Butcher's Distributors, but most will know her from the Carry On series. The same year as IMFMT, she appeared in Carry On Behind, where she memorable exclaimed the words 'Oh my Gawd!' near the beginning. Here, she is once again in an alarmed state, and gets a good laugh from her brief stint in front of the camera. Proof that to get the best out of her, she had to be as distressed as possible. If we are talking of picking out faces, we spotted two of the cast of The Final Conflict, one of which suffers the hilarious indignity of being called a 'silly old fart'.
With Joe McGrath at the helm, it seemed almost inevitable that one of his favourite stalwarts (and friend of Peter Sellers) was going to make an appearance, and the legendary Graham Starke doesn't disappoint, though there is one sequence near the end of the movie that presents a huge continuity problem; this involves Starke being in one scene interacting with the two main characters, then appearing in the very next scene with him speaking in front of a room full of people. It is possible to appreciate just why this happened, and that the movie flows better with the scenes in this order, but the enormous continuity cock-up cannot be overlooked. The kitty was probably empty by the time they needed to re-hire Starke for re-shoots, too.
Special mention must go to that stalwart battleaxe of UK comedies, Rita Webb. Here she plays the only woman not getting laid in an institute devoted to entirely sex, which makes a change from her usual puritanical stints. Who can forget the exchange in Confessions of a Pop Performer, where she asks Robin Askwith if knows the where-abounds of her daughter: 'Have you seen my Fanny?' she enquires, to which Askwith shudders: 'Blimey, I saw Curse of Frankenstein and that was enough…'
We aren't saying that the UK movie industry was quite small at the time, but we spotted something rather weird, and it's possible that our minds are so demented that we're probably the only ones to pick up on it. Comedy stalwart Ronnie Brody appears as a neighbour affected by the sex-ray. In the following scene, Andrews smashes a grapefruit into Harmon's face when he gets on his nerves. A few years later, Brody appeared in Superman III, sitting down to breakfast with Sandra Dickenson. When reading an astronomical bill he thinks his wife has run up, what does he do? Yup, smashes a grapefruit into her kisser in exactly the same way. Apropos of bugger all…
Whilst it's always great to see Mary 'Gee, I'd really fancy a Sex Pistol' Millington on-screen, one cannot help but be continually reminded of the fact that she was never comfortable in front of a film camera. INFMT writer David McGivilray has spoken of her discomfort onscreen many times, and it really seems as though certain people were pushing her into areas of the sex industry where she didn't want to go. The poor little sod always had the appearance of a deer caught in the headlights, but here she comes across quite well in the couple of appearances dotted around the place—probably because dialogue wasn't really required of her. Under the name 'Mary Maxted', she is called in whenever some nudity is needed. Need some sex to start the movie? Mary! The lavish party needs spicing up a bit? Mary!!! You get the idea. The same thing was employed a couple of years later in the Millington porno extravaganza Come Play with Me, and filmed just and cheaply and quickly using locations.
Indeed, some of this juiced-up footage is more 'dirty' than the content of the Confessions movies, though this material was shot later in order satisfy the bookers and get the film played in porno theatres. This material is in stark contrast to the 'comedy' nudity expected of the genre—this film might have been trying to compete with the Confessions movies and in one respect it succeeded because at no time in Columbia Pictures' quartet of films did loveable Timmy Lee ever show his todger on-screen. Yes, you read that right: a couple of trouser-snakes flap into view during the finale.
Whilst we have very Catholic tastes when it comes to movie, from the controversial and outrageous, the 'worthy' and arty, we have no qualms with mixing them all up and put sex comedies on equal footing with the rest. You can fight the urge to giggle at what is usually flagged as 'lowbrow', but there is some primeval jelly in the brain which battles against millions of years of evolution, leaving you helpless to chuckle at such things, and we have a prime example here. Sex is taking place on a diving board, and the soundtrack has been kitted out with a comedy 'D-o-i-i-i-n-g' to accompany the onscreen copulation. Yes, it's very cheap laugh, but it succeeded!
There are a couple of sequences which come across as remarkably brave for this kind of movie, and one in particular will probably offend more people today than it did at the time. In a bid to get information about the sex ray from Andrews and his dim-witted assistant, our villain resorts to interrogating him, using a bevy of stunning 'researchers'—clad in revealing outfits—to get what he wants. The lighting used is as it would be in a film about the practices of the SS, and really comes off as something you would not expect in a sex-comedy. The moronic comedy assistant approaches the scene in a straight manner, and the dramatics are sincere, playing out as though Peter Jackson had employed his directorial approach from The Frighteners to this movie. Whilst anyone who has sat through some of the crappier Nazploitation films might be immune to such things, the blending of interrogation, torture, leather-clad nymphs performing the Nazi salute and intentional comedy really is jarring.
Here in the 21st century, we don't have that same sense of longing to get laid and difficulty doing so as displayed in I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight. Just to get his leg over, Andrews makes incredible breakthroughs in science, creating a machine to stimulate sexual desire and decrease inhibition. These days, it's much easier to get your hands on Crystal Meth and achieve just the same results. If you want things a little more anonymous, try combining it with Rohypnol.
It was commonplace for the lower end of the sex comedy genre to steal pieces from studio movies, but I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight manages to become a cannibal at the same time, nicking a piece from Confessions of a Window Cleaner, which was funded by Columbia Pictures. The latter sees Robin Askquith unwittingly stowing away in the back of a removal truck, and a very similar incident happens in this film. It certainly was a small industry...
We're not giving anything away when we reveal that the whole movie ends in a punch-up at a conference, where the dastardly head of the sex institute plans to reveal 'his' amazing discovery. What follows is a fight involving men dressed as cowboys, female nudity and heavy doses of slapstick. These shenanigans are clearly inspired by the recent success of Blazing Saddles, itself playing host to a massive comedy brawl. In the midst of this surreal battle comes something to give even the most jaded of viewers a jolt, that being the surprise appearance of a couple of rather large penises. OK, they're flaccid, but still very much unexpected when there hasn't been any below-the-belt male nudity throughout the rest of the film. The clearly uncut members seem somewhat out of place in the midst of all the comedy, although you can't deny that they are a real (brown?) eye-opener.
Oh, and also watch out for the sight of a beer-pump serving Skol on tap! Whilst you can still get it in cans, it does the old heart good to see it served on the bar, bringing back old memories. By the way, there is no truth to the rumour that the beer is so-called because Vikings couldn't spell piss…
Network DVD really has managed to drag an obscure movie out of the darkness and into the light with expert style. The 1.33:1 image here is pretty damned impressive for a film made for next-to-nothing over thirty years ago—the print is pretty clean, with only the odd blemish and the level of detail is quite surprising. The colours are strong and vibrant, with Jon's green trousers looking suitably garish. Whether or not Network were able to make this transfer from the original negative or whether it's from a well-archived video master, I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight looks unexpectedly wonderful on DVD.
The soundtrack to I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono, but is quite robust, providing quite a strong showing whenever the eponymous catchy theme song plays.
Trailer: This trailer really lets you know what you are in for, as it runs for around three minutes and has the theme song playing over it. This is essentially a potted version of the film, with some of the best moments included.
Photo Gallery: A number of black and white stills from the film have been included. The some of the pictures are quite near the knuckle, as they contain, as Kenny Everett would have said 'naughty bits'.
Not an extra, but we have to express our appreciation to Network for the work they have put into this release, as it restores the movie to its original, full length. Upon release through Stablecane in the 80s, it was shorn of an incredible twenty minutes! Network have devoted the care, time and money to set things right and let viewers experience I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight as only seen in cinemas.
I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight may not be as enjoyable as some of its contemporaries, such as the Confessions movies, but there is an undeniable warmth and charm to this film, with the lovely transfer provided by the people at Network allowing it to be welcomed by a new audience clamouring for films from a bygone age where things were smutty, yet still surprisingly innocent. We are devotees of British sex comedies, and this one certainly gets our seal of approval.
Now how about following this up with titles like Keep It Up Jack, Commuter Husbands and The Amorous Milkman...?

Have you guys ever seen The Booby Trap? I watched it a million months ago, and couldn't think up a paragraph to write on it. I bet you could've written a minor book like this one.

Booby Trap? Which one, Mr P?
There are a few of them called by that title, and we saw one of them only recently. That one concerned a stupid old fart who creates an explosive fitted into a pen - which the senile tw*t promptly loses as chaos ensues.
Ring any bells?

Department of Revenue News Release
January 14, 2009Gov. Nixon Announces Competitive Bids on First Six License Offices
JEFFERSON CITY – In one of the first actions of his administration, Gov. Jay Nixon today implemented a new plan that overhauls the way local motor vehicle and driver license offices are awarded by bidding out the first six fee offices.
"The era of license office patronage ends today," Gov. Nixon said. "Six of Missouri's 183 fee offices have been put up for competitive bid, and all of the others will follow in the weeks and months to come. This action signals a new way in which essential government services will be provided."
On Tuesday, the state, through the Department of Revenue and the Office of Administration's Division of Purchasing and Materials Management, posted a Request for Proposal (RFP) for six of the state's contract offices. The six offices are in Columbia, Liberty, Mexico, Moberly, St. Charles and the South Fremont Avenue location in Springfield. RFPs for other offices will be sent out on a weekly basis until all of the locations have been bid.
Interested individuals or organizations will have five weeks to bid on managing the offices in a competitive process that is outlined in the RFP. The goal will be to obtain the best bid to ensure maximum efficiency, qualified personnel, convenient service for customers, secure and accessible office space, and financial stability of the contractor. The evaluation process includes a straightforward point scale that also includes consideration of whether a civic or not-for-profit group is bidding. The RFP also includes consideration of whether a bidder is a minority, a woman, or a minority/woman-run organization. Once a bid is awarded, the Department of Revenue has the option of renewing the contracts for up to three years after the first year is completed.
Karen King Mitchell, Gov. Nixon's designated director of the Department of Revenue, said she and other state officials have been working for several weeks on the RFPs.
"It's crucial that this process results in the best qualified and most efficient bidders operating these offices, so we've spent a lot of time preparing these proposals," she said. "The services provided by the local contract offices are some of the most common, but important to Missouri citizens. When a person needs to renew a driver's license, get new license plates or pay sales tax on a new car, he or she doesn't care about the political preferences of the person behind the desk. He or she just wants the transaction to take place as efficiently as possible."
Although the bidding process began Tuesday, future RFPs could be adjusted to make sure the process produces the best proposals.
"When you are dealing with this many offices and such a fresh, new approach, there is a possibility changes will be made to ensure that the process is fair to the bidders and that the offices' customers will receive good service," Mitchell said.
Copies of the RFPs may be obtained at https://www.moolb.mo.gov/. To review an RFP, select "Guest" on the home page, then click on "Open Bids by Agency," then scroll through the list of bids until you locate the appropriate bid. (Bid numbers are listed below.) Additional information regarding the bidding of fee offices may be obtained at http://oa.mo.gov/purch/vendorinfo/DORoffices.pdf or by calling the Office of Administration at (573) 751-2387.

Banks County schools and government offices will be closed again on Wednesday due to the snow and ice and conditions of the roads. The board of commissioners, board of education and Homer City Council meetings scheduled for Tuesday night have also been canceled.
Banks County government offices will be closed on Tuesday due to the snow and ice. The Banks County Board of Commissioners meeting scheduled for Tuesday night has also been canceled and will be rescheduled later.
12:15 p.m.
The Banks County School System will be shut down again on Tuesday due to the snow and ice that has covered the area.
As of noon Monday, four to six inches of snow had been reported across the county, according to reports from the 911 center.
"The 911 Center has had six passenger car automobile accidents (with no hospital transports), two tractor trailers jack-knifed, one mechanical breakdown / motorist assist and no power outages, lines down or trees down," reports 911 director Deidra Moore. "This low call volume is very encouraging and we are hoping for the same fortune today but are closely monitoring the predicted change from snow to freezing rain and drizzle."
Moore adds, "We are asking everyone to please stay at home and off of the roads unless it is an emergency. The roads are not in good condition and while DOT and the local road departments are working hard on main roads, there are still many slick spots because we are still having precipitation with no temperature rise (last check on temperature reflected 27)."
The Banks County School System will be shut down Monday for students and staff due to the winter weather coming into the area late Sunday night. The county government offices will also be closed due to the winter weather.
According to the forecast, snow and sleet could hit the area Sunday night and freezing rain on Monday and Tuesday. Snow totals could reach 7 inches in the area.
Meanwhile, Jackson EMC is preparing for the storm, officials said.
With the National Weather Service winter storm watch in effect, Jackson Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) has activated its Emergency Restoration Plan and is readying its line crews, right of way crews and office staff in case severe winter weather disrupts electric service.
"At each of our district offices, we're making sure our trucks are fully stocked, fueled and ready to roll," said Jim Smith, vice president of engineering and operations. "All of our line crews and right of way crews will be on call and dispatched to any outages that may occur. Our Systems Control, the nerve center of our distribution network, will continue to monitor the cooperative's more than 13,400 miles of energized wire throughout Sunday night and Monday to detect outages as they occur."
Jackson EMC warns all residents to avoid any downed power lines, and to assume that any power line is electrified, even if it doesn't appear to be. If a line is down across a road or in any other location that poses an immediate hazard, 911 should be notified.
In the event of an outage, Jackson EMC customers should call their local office and use the Automated Outage Reporting System. It will speed the reporting time if customers have their account name, address and phone number ready.
"During a major outage, Jackson EMC works to restore power to the most people in the shortest amount of time," explained Smith. "When outages are occurring throughout our system, the first priority is restoring the lines that will return service to the largest number of customers with each repair. This means that our workers usually try to restore a main line before restoring power to individual customers. In the event of ice-related outages, we want our customers to know that we're working as fast as possible to get the power back on as soon as possible."
Ice storms frequently cause damage to individual homes, meter boxes and the spot where power enters the home, called the service entrance. When that occurs, power can only be restored after an electrician has repaired the damage.
During any power outage, customers can use a battery-operated radio to check local radio stations for any updates, and will find outage information on the cooperative's Website http://www.jacksonemc.com/storm/index.html, including a map of current outages, as well as information about preparing for a storm, electrical safety after the storm and generator safety.
Schools, county government to be again closed on Wednesday

Which teas rank highest in "body"?
I wold like to try some teas that rate highly in the category of "body" but it's hard to search for teas that way. If anyone could provide some suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Steepsters!
Depends on personal taste, I think. And personal definition of body. I think I agree largely with mrmopar above, though. On Assams anyway.
Hmm… I am not a fan of black teas. Does this mean in general that teas have less body the less processed they are?
I think of body as a richness of taste and a thicker mouthfeel than water. For me, I get that the most from black teas and roasted oolongs but maybe that's just a misunderstand of the term.
I was reading about "brothy" green teas and wondered if that is another way to refer to body, which, like Uniquity, I also think of as a thicker mouthfeel or viscosity
I can speak for Assams and they definitely have a lot of body and that heavy feeling on the tongue. We specialize in Assams and get them direct from a grower, so they are very fresh. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to answer any questions.

KENNESAW, Ga. (Feb. 3, 2012) – Coming off their first road win of the season, the ETSU women's basketball team will look to end its three-game road swing on a positive note Saturday afternoon when the Lady Bucs take on Kennesaw State. Tip is set for noon inside the KSU Convocation Center.
Sophomore Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) became the first Lady Buccaneer player to score at least 30 points in a game Thursday night at Mercer, since red-shirt senior guard Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) accomplished the feat against Xavier in the first round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Mitchell, who set a career high with the effort, went 12-of-15 from the field and made nine consecutive field goals during a 19-plus minute stretch in the second half in Macon.
While Mitchell was explosive as can be, the Lady Bucs (6-16, 5-6 A-Sun) as a team shot a season-high 53.6 percent from the field (30-56), marking the first time the Blue and Gold eclipsed the 50-percent plateau since shooting 57.1 percent (40-70) against Mercer back on Jan. 31, 2011 in Johnson City. Along with the strong shooting night, ETSU also tallied 14 assists and 12 steals, while forcing the Lady Bears into 23 turnovers resulting in 20 points on the offensive end for the Lady Bucs. Overall, eight of the ten Lady Buccaneer players who logged minutes reached the scoring column on Thursday night for ETSU.
Meanwhile, as the Lady Bucs were enjoying their first road win since last Feb., Kennesaw State (10-13, 5-7 A-Sun) snapped its two-game losing skid with a 54-45 win over USC Upstate on Thursday night.
The Owls jumped out to a 22-6 lead to begin the game – and despite having the Spartans pull within one with 3:12 left to play – Kennesaw State managed to hang on for the nine-point win. Lisa Capellan, a 6-foot-1 junior forward, paced the Owls with a career-high 16 points and 10 rebounds, while 5-foot-8 junior guard Chelcey Farrar added 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. As a team, Kennesaw State assisted on 14 of its 19 makes, and registered 14 steals along with swatting nine shots.
On the season, the Owls have recorded 230 steals in 23 games, while averaging 63.2 points and giving up 65.7 points. Individually, red-shirt freshman guard Taylor Mills leads the team with 13.1 points and 2.7 threes per game, but finished with nine points on 1-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc against USC Upstate.
The Lady Bucs have won all 12 games in the series, including a 77-61 win over Kennesaw State back on Jan. 9 inside the MSHA Athletic Center. Despite five of the 12 games being decided by 10 points or less, the Lady Bucs have won the last five games in the series on average of 20.2 points. Ironically, in the last three meetings, the Lady Bucs have held Kennesaw State to 61 points, while Gordon is averaging 17.0 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in three career games against the Owls. In addition, Mitchell is also posting 14.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 3.0 steals in three career games versus Kennesaw State.
Fans unable to make the trip to Kennesaw can listen to all the action on WXSM-AM 640 The Extreme Sports Monster as "Voice of the Lady Bucs" John Stevens will carry the play-by-play. Live video will also be offered on ASun.TV, while live stats will be carried via KSUOwls.com.
