Because cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease, there is no way to keep it from manifesting. If an individual's parents both carry the faulty gene, and he or she inherits these faulty genes from them, then there's a large chance that that person will get the illness.
Thus, the best way to prevent or stay vigilant about this illness is to be aware if you're carrying the faulty gene. If you're planning to get pregnant, you and your partner can go through genetic testing before conceiving. This is important, especially if there have been cases of cystic fibrosis in both of your families.
Genetic testing is a type of blood test that is given to couples who are planning to become pregnant. This type of test looks for abnormal genes that may lead to diseases in their babies. Usually, it is done before the woman conceives. However, since many pregnancies are unplanned, some couples only get screening during the early stages of the pregnancy.
The test for cystic fibrosis can be conducted by an obstetrician, and the results will be given to you after two weeks. In most cases, the woman is tested first — if her results are negative, then the male partner doesn't need to be tested (since it requires two faulty genes from each parent for cystic fibrosis to occur).1
If you both test positive for the faulty gene, however, your health care provider can help you prepare for the possibility of having a child with CF. He or she can also refer you to a genetic counselor who will help you understand how genes work, what the chances are of passing the condition to your child, potential birth defects that many occur and how it can affect you and your child's health.2
It's possible to know if a child has this disease or is a CF carrier even while still in the womb. This can be done by having a prenatal test. There are two options you can consider:3
• Chorionic villus sampling. Also known as CVS, this test checks tissue acquired from the placenta for genetic conditions and other birth defects. A CVS can be acquired at 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
• Amniocentesis. After amniotic fluid is taken from the amniotic sac, it's tested to see if there are any birth defects and genetic conditions affecting the unborn child. An amnio can be performed at 15 to 16 weeks of pregnancy.
Aside from the "sweat test," or checking if a newborn's sweat is salty, a newborn screening may be helpful to determine if a child is born with cystic fibrosis. Usually conducted in the first two or three days after birth, a newborn screening test is essential for a child who has a high risk for cystic fibrosis, as it can help the parents and the physician come up with steps to maintain the baby's health.
According to research, babies with cystic fibrosis who were treated early in their lives have better nutrition and grew up healthier than those who received a much later diagnosis. This is because early CF diagnosis may help:
• Maintain lung health
• Improve growth
• Lessen hospital stays
• Improve longevity
To perform a newborn diagnosis, your health care provider will prick the heel of the child and take a few drops of blood onto a special card, called a Guthrie card. This is then mailed to a special laboratory to be tested for certain health anomalies.
For CF, the newborn screening will check for IRT, which is a chemical produced by the pancreas. IRT levels are usually high in individuals who have cystic fibrosis. If IRT is detected in a child's blood, then the newborn screening will test positive. However, remember that other factors can lead to increase in IRT levels, such as premature birth or the baby being stressed during childbirth.4

The Expectation Effect
In the book My Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman, he says the element of surprise and expectation is far better than the product. He gave the example of Zappos. They offer free next day shipping but only advertise the free shipping part. They leave the next day delivery as a surprise to the customer. 'The surprise is more valuable. When you perform well above your customers expectations, they'll be satisfied with the experience.'

The mini versions of Indian designer wear are adorable. Teeny tiny tops and oodles of flounce make you want to be a kid again, just to be able to wear the outfits.
Do not be fooled by the size of the outfits though. The designer kids wear market is competative and means serious business.
In 2011, the Indian kids wear market was Rs. 37,300 crores according to research and consultancy firm Technopak Advisors. The apex industry body ASSOCHAM states that Indian kids wear market is growing with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 20 percent. ASSOCHAM forecasts the market to hit a whopping Rs. 95,000 crores by the end of 2016. The upward trend is only going to invite more activity from businesses in the Indian kids wear segment.
(In Billion USD)
The Indian kids wear market has traditionally been dominated by unorganised players. Kids wear was considered as an essential commodity with low life span of usage. The Indian kids wear market was also driven by price rather than luxury. While this factor still holds true for the value conscious consumer, buyers especially from urban and semi urban areas are displaying a major shift in the buying pattern for Indian kids wear and price is no longer the decisive factor.
According to a Technopak Report, the overall children's market in India can be broadly divided into five segments: super premium (above Rs 2,500), premium (Rs 1,000-2,500), mid (Rs 500-1,000), economy (Rs 250-500) and lower (up to Rs 250). The research firm has revealed that the mid-segment, with a market share of 31 percent, is expected to reach 58 percent by 2020.
Below are the factors driving an upward trend in the Indian kids wear market:
India is showing a rise in the nuclear family system with the mother and the father both earning. Such families display a higher spending power with respect to the household income. Furthermore, in such families the focus is on meeting the demands of the little ones.
A decade back the kids never questioned the outfits bought for them by their parents and they were not trend conscious. The parents just focussed on the comfort and functionality of the attires to help the kids enjoy an active life. These days even the younger kids are very vocal about their likes and dislikes and are equally involved in the buying decisions. The older kids are highly brand conscious and peer pressure also pushes them towards high end luxury brands.
With the heavy usage of social media, the average India has become more aware of what celebrities and their kids are wearing this season. The constant update from fashion shows also keeps Indians abreast of the latest designer creations. This awareness therefore effects the buying habit.
Research reports suggest that irrespective of a global economic slowdown, the children's wear market remains strong. This can be attributed to the fact that kids' birthdays are generally celebratory events for the whole family in India, where children can expect to recieve numerous gifts, some of which will be clothes. The constant need to buy kids wear due to the outgrow aspect may also be the driving force for buoyancy in the kids wear market.
Variety in kids fashion was a domain of major cities like Mumbai and Delhi around ten to fifteen years back. However, today Tier II and Tier III cities like Dehradun, Chandigarh, Pune, Nashik, Indore and Varanasi have become favourable markets for Indian kids wear.
Today there is a clear presence of exclusive commercial Indian kids wear brands like Peppermint, Gini & Jony, Lilliput and Barbie that we cannot overlook. Apart from the popular brands, the high street brands are also venturing into this segment, realising the immense potential.
International brands like Versace, Fendi Kids and Armani Junior are enjoying the benefit of enthusiastic customers for premium kids wear in India. Burberry launched its kids wear store in Mumbai a few years back, which was closely followed by store openings from Armani Junior, launched at DLF Emporio, Delhi, in assistance with Indian famed designer, Suneet Verma.
Swati Saraf realised the potential for luxury kids wear in India when her sister had a baby. She launched Les Petits, a multi-brand luxury kids wear store at the brand haven DLF Emporio. The store is home to labels like Baby Dior, Miss Blumarine and Fendi Kids. The range starts from Rs. 5,500 and goes all the way up to Rs. 1,71,500.
The famed Indian fashion designer Monisha Jaising launched the label 'MJ Kids' which caters to little people. Designer Jatinn Kochchar has been designing for kids since his kids were born. He is known for his identical sets for mothers and daughters and fathers and sons.
An Indian label called Kidology has tied up with designers like Gauri & Nainika, Gaurav Gupta, Namrata Joshipura and Ritu Kumar to design attires for kids up to 10 years of age. The brand has its presence in Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad.
Most of the Indian designers with an established line are venturing into the Indian kids wear segment, discovering the growth potential of the market. In 2014, the most popular Indian fashion showcase, Lakme Fashion Week, staged a kids wear show in collaboration with London based toy giant, Hamley's and popular toy brands Hotwheels and Barbie. Showcasing attires in the age group of 6 -12 years the show garnered huge attention and participation from kids all over India, vying to be a part of Lakme's runway.
Indian kids wear is definitely here to stay and projections show it will only get trendier and swankier with time.

Starbucks History Part Two: Howard Schultz
In 1982 Baldwin hired Schultz as the new head of marketing and shortly thereafter sent him to Milan to attend an international housewares show in Italy. When he arrived, Schultz found himself infatuated with the exciting coffee culture of Italy. Schultz went to Verona and had his first caffe latte. But he observed something more important than the coffee. The cafe patrons were chatting and otherwise enjoying themselves while sipping their coffees in the elegant surroundings. It was an "aha" moment as inspiration struck.
A great idea
Schultz describes that moment as an epiphany, "Why not create community gathering places like the great coffee house of Italy in the United States?" Could the Old World meet the New World? If it succeeded, it would be marketing genius.
By 1983 the marketing manager had a vision of recreating the magic and romance behind the Italian coffee bar and wanted to test out the concept of selling espresso by the cup. More tomorrow!

There has been activity on both sides of Congress during the last week to increase funding for the Department of Energy's Office of Science. The House Science Committee quickly passed an authorization bill last week that provides for annual budget increases between 9.7% and 15.0% in the next four years. The provisions of this legislation are in a comprehensive energy bill that will be on the House floor tomorrow. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is working on its own bill that will go to the floor in May. In addition, thirty-nine senators signed a letter to the Senate leadership recommending a 10% increase in the Office of Science budget for next year.
Last week, the House Science Committee considered a bill introduced by committee chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) and Ranking Minority Member Ralph Hall (D-TX) to authorize the Department of Energy's R&D programs. The provisions of H.R. 238 are quite similar to those in the energy bill that ultimately died in House and Senate negotiations last year. The Office of Science provisions are not controversial; disagreements over hot-button issues like drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and climate change are. These contentious issues remain.
Under H.R. 238, the authorization levels for the Office of Science would increase by 14.5% in the upcoming year, by 9.7% in FY 2005, 11.2% in FY 2006, and 15.0% in FY 2007. This bill sets annual spending limits, and does not provide the actual money. These numbers are consistent with a bill earlier introduced by Rep. Judy Biggert (R-IL), H.R. 34. In describing the bill Boehlert and Hall praised the Science Committee staff for its hard work in resolving differences among committee members, so that the actual mark up of the bill was both smooth and fast. There was no controversy about the authorization levels. A series of amendments were offered on topics ranging from worker safety at the national laboratories to a new scholarship program. Almost all were accepted. Programs authorized in the legislation included those for ITER, nanotechnology, and hydrogen energy.
The Science Committee bill has now been folded into a much larger energy bill, H.R. 6 that was introduced on Monday. This bill goes to the House floor tomorrow. A future FYI will report on any floor activity regarding the Office of Science provisions. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is working on its own bill with extensive language on science programs.
Thirty-nine senators signed a letter to Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) and Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD). "We write to bring to your attention our bipartisan support for the Office of Science in the Department of Energy," to letter begins. The letter continues, "Despite the importance of the research areas to our energy, technology, and economic future, the Office's budget in real dollars is the same as it was in 1990. The proposed budget for the Office of Science in FY 2004 is $3.311 billion, essentially the same as was appropriated for FY 2003." The letter concludes, "We urge you, during the upcoming budget resolution and appropriation process, to increase funding for the Office of Science by ten percent over the request level. This bold yet necessary step will strengthen our nation's scientific capabilities and the role that the physical sciences play in our energy security and economic growth."

THE Soul town band
"We became introduced to the soulful sounds in the sixties. We were still in High School. We were the band for the Soul Town Revue. The Soul Town Revue was comprised of local singers who sang covers of all the hits of the day; artists like James Brown, The Temptations, Sam and Dave, Stevie Wonder and on and on and on. We had to learn how to play those hits and play for one singer after another all night long and still make it to class the next morning. That's how we got our muscle. We became the Soul Town Band!"

Charities Challenge Phasing Out of State Funding of Nonprofit Lotteries
The decision to phase out and eventually abolish the State funding of private charities has been challenged in the High Court.
Launching the challenge, the Rehab Group and Rehab Lotteries Ltd said that Justice Minister Alan Shatter's recent decision to phase out funding under the Charitable Lotteries Scheme will severely damage their ability to provide services to those with disabilities.
Mr Shatter has said that the decision to phase out - and eventually abolish - the funding scheme by 2016 is due to the ongoing economic crisis affecting the country.
More than 20 charities receive funding under the Charitable Lotteries Scheme
The Charitable Lotteries Scheme was originally established in the 1990's to compensate Irish charities for the advantage that the National Lottery held over them.
Rehab, which is the largest single beneficiary of the scheme, has warned that it will suffer the "greatest adverse impact" from the abolition of the scheme.
Rehab received €4.4m in 2011 under the scheme, with a further €1.6m being alloted to other charities for the running of nonprofit lotteries.
The action taken by Rehab is seeking a number of orders from the Court, including one preventing the implementation of the Minister's decision, along with declarations including that the Minister failed to take into account relevant considerations before announcing his decision.
In particular, Rehab has accused the Minister of denying it an opportunity to make a submission about the proposal prior to it being decided upon.
Representing Rehab, Paul Gardiner SC said that the €20,000 cap on the amount of prize money that charity lotteries were permitted to pay out meant that they were consistently at a disadvantage when competing with the National Lottery, which has no such caps on prize money.
Counsel further pointed out the Rehab share of the lotteries was 25% prior to the commencement of the National Lottery in 1987, but that this share has since been reduced to just 1% nationally (as compared to the National Lottery 98% market share).
Counsel also said that the money paid under the scheme to Rehab and other charities came not from government funds, but rather from the proceeds of the National Lottery.
In an affidavit, Rehab said that over 20 Irish charities, including the ISPCC, Asthma Society of Ireland, Irish Cancer Society and Irish Wheelchair Association, receive funding under the Charitable Lotteries Scheme along with Rehab.
The affidavit also stated that the abolition of the scheme will have a "significant and damaging impact on the continued development and enhancement of services to people with disabilities and those who are disadvantaged".
Responding to the challenge, the court has put the matter back until January.

Naturalism As Philosophy Of Education
What is your philosophy of education?: Establishing philosophy of education in light of the wisdom of the past. The a lot of wisdoms and ideologies of our pluralistic society provide competing, even contradictory answers to such concerns. Yet another ideology might hold that the requirements of the child come 1st in any educational organization, consequently, there will be occasions when policies have to be ignored. Prior to all those issues that nonetheless have no answers, philosophy shows a blind interest.
But because of its educational utility, we will focus on a significant emphasis of essential philosophy: philosophy as criteriology, the study of the sources, justifications, and types of criteria for choice-creating. Educational criteriology preserves the commitments of the vital tradition in that its inquiry is not restrained by any of the absolutes recognized by traditions of wisdom or ideology. And for educators, educational criteriology supplies a potent tool for decision-making amidst a plurality of competing wisdoms and ideologies.
Most, if not all, of the huge educational concerns can be recast as queries about the option of criteria for selection-generating. Limiting the possibly broader scope of essential philosophy to educational criteriology is a cautious way to commence. The problem for educators in a pluralistic society is that they should deal with competing wisdoms and ideologies. Thus, in focussing on education we will restrict critical inquiry to criteriology, that is, it is the study of the justifications, sources, and types of criteria for decision-generating in educational contexts. The school curriculum also embodies the political and cultural values and ideals that a society resolves to determine with.
Via its public college curriculum, a modern society represents to itself and its wards the nation, its heritage, cultural pasts, and current socio-cultural, financial and political aspirations. In a culturally diverse society, choices with regards to what is worthy of inclusion in the curriculum and what should be kept out come to be contested, as distinct sections of society have diverse views on the concern. And I do believe there is a hidden agenda behind the education of our young children.
Under the theme entitled Culture and School Curriculum", the Conference proposes to explore the social, psychological and philosophical dimensions of curriculum in terms of educational aims, and desirable political and cultural values. It is expected that carrying out so will help unravel the ideological and political contestations that have come to characterise school curriculum reform in present-day society.

According to this article from 9News.com, the New Elitch Gardens is set to make some drastic improvements for this season!
The biggest and best decision in my mind is the admission price drop! The new price for admission will be $34.99 down from $44.99, also dropping is parking down to $10 from $15. The constant raise in prices is one of the reason that I feel Six Flags really was hurting Elitch Gardens. That price was just too high for such a small park!
Other improvements this year include a new dark ride called Ghost Blasters, where you ride in a car with a gun shooting at moving targets, kind of like the old shooting galleries, just this version you are moving! It's been at least 20 years since Elitch's got rid of The Haunted House at the old park, it was always one of my favorites. This will be an 8000 sq. ft Haunted House ride. They will be having a summer concert series this year with performers like Billy Ray Cyrus and Smash Mouth.
Sounds like Parc Management has finally allowed them to make some great decisions to help bring people back to Elitch Gardens!

Unconventional forces Resourcefulness
Hanging out one day I got into a discussion with a girl who asked me what I did. I told her I made jewelry. She was quick to describe earrings she had been on the hunt for but couldn't find. I said no worries, I can do that for you. The only catch was that her earlobes were gauged and I was slightly unsure of how exactly I was going to construct something suitable for her ears.
Always up for a challenge, I put my thinking cap on. She wanted, length, copper and feathers. Since the earring was not going to have the conventional pierced earwire, I had to figure out a way that the earring would sit on the open plugs she had in her earlobes.
The construct needed to be functional to her plugs , so I bent the wire as seen here to the right so that the earrings would sit on top of the plug and hold in place. However the thinking didn't stop there as a delicate balance was going to be necessary to keep the earring in place. I had to create weight on both sides of the earrings since where the earring was being held was resting on a plug surface.
The finished product on their happy owner
Her Co-worker was a big fan and wanted a pair as well. Her ears were not guaged so I stuck with the original design and changed up the wire at the top to suit an earwire.
When I gave them to her, she was a little uncomfortable with the length, they were pretty dramatic, so I moved the feather from the bottom of the chain to the top of the chain to shorten the earrings. She loved them and the new length. I was happy to make her a pair of earrings she was comfortable wearing even though they were different than what she normally wore. I like to help people move out of the comfort zones to try something new. Even if I have to make little changes to makes them comfortable out of their comfort zones! 😮

'Love might be a privilege, but marriage is a right'.
Like everyone I know, I will be voting a massive YES on May 22nd in the Marriage Referendum.
While watching Garfunkel and Oates last night, a series about two female comedians using music as a medium, episode two introduced me to a song that is perfect for the upcoming Referendum.
Called Rainbow Connection, it's a great tune about same-sex marriage and love. Ireland should see fit that this song is the anthem for the 22nd.
Listen below and share. We should all know the lyrics.

Chastity Mistresses
Chastity mistresses, Goddess Parker Swayze and hot Dominatrix Maya Bijou are about to have one more pleasant afternoon together. Of course, in the world of female domination, that means that they need a sub to humiliate and force him to please their wishes. Since they need to have a quick solution, the search for a today's slave is solved quickly. As every smart and serious female, Miss Parker always has some of those pathetic guys crawling around trying to be closer to such a beautiful lady. Now, you are about to see why that is important.
Even if Dommes don't need a special reason to humiliate men, it is always great to make him feel responsible for something. So the girls told him that his behavior is unacceptable, which means the beautiful goddesses are going to have to teach him a lesson. To humiliate him, Goddess Parker Swayze makes him strip and locks him up in chastity, giving the key to Goddess Maya Bijou so that she owns him. Watch as she makes him remove her heels and stockings, training him to be a good little feet servant. See her strap her heel to his face with her stocking, making him smell her heel while he kneels before them as a footrest for their pretty feet. Surprisingly, the chastity foot slave is performing very well. Frankly, foot fetish Dommes were not expecting that. This is a very pleasant surprise that made them consider keeping this slave of 2 mistresses for the long term servitude. But they will wait for the end of the chastity training session and see how pathetic guy will perform once his strength is near the end. You know, even if it looks easy to kneel in front of the chastity mistresses, every real chastity slave know that is it not like that.
Anyway, considering that you are clearly interested in the femdom chastity slavery, there are two updates I want to recommend. The first one is about slave teased while being tied to the torture chair. That video is featuring divine Goddess, Mistress Marley. The second one is more brutal and different than the classic slave worships you are usually seeing. Some of you are already guessing that behind this description is Mistress Sidonia Von Bork stretching a helpless BDSM sub. The best part is that she is doing that in the woods where no one can help him out.

memory and narrative 2
My Life As A House
24" x 24"
This week the exhibition Memory and Narrative opens at Place des Artes, a public space in Coquitlam, BC. I recenty joined Leap Visual Arts Collective, a group of local artists who often exhibit together. This is the group statement for the show:
Few questions have a longer, deeper, and livelier intellectual history than how we 'construct' our lives--and, indeed, how we create ourselves in the process. What makes people want to preserve the stories of their past? What methods can be used to construct or package these narratives? Can memories offer different ways of looking at a past event? Or help us to re-remember and control its place in our lives? Can people's narrative accounts tell us something about their identity and lives?
Each artist agreed to create several works to match the theme, plus contribute to a group project. More about that one later.
I decided to paint three medium-sized house paintings for my personal contribution. Yesterday's post illustrates one, another is here, and this is the third. It illustrates a new house followed by some of its metamorhoses over the decades as it is renovated and/or neglected. If you can stand another artist's statement, here is my personal statement:
Memory and Narrative: Stories (the past)
Traditional and historical methods of recording and reconstructing the past have a strong relationship to place. In the past, one's country, 'hometown', neighbourhood and dwelling place all played deeply important roles in the creation of identity and therefore memory during a time when travel and immigration were the exception rather than the rule. Unlike today, the family home could exist over many generations, with the expectation that it would continue to do so. A house with this kind of history is a place rich with family stories and memories. My fascination with painting early 20th century Vancouver houses stems from an interest in the layered, 'storied' nature of the histories within the walls of these houses.
If you happen to live in the Vancouver area, the opening reception is Thursday, October 5th at Place des Artes from 7:30 until 9:30.

Plaster of Paris May 15, 2015Posted by vsap in Blogroll, Poetry.
My course work in life is a major in deception
and a master's thesis in doubt, to poor reception
as instructors express their fears, my mentor entreats me
to recall my purpose before the narrative defeats me.
Self-serious, full of ideals I won't explain
my reason unseasoned laced with nagging pain,
I sugar-coat the diagnosis with romantic notions
causing critics to dump my life's work in the ocean.
Then I knew not learning to swim was my failing
Gasping for air as my arms were flailing.
Then I looked at it from the other side, like I was wrong
and decided I couldn't write the lyrics for that song.
If something is missing then my mission is discovery,
even as my mind is reeling from the drugs of recovery.
But I can share with you a secret I keep:
I'm damned to confuse the shallow for the deep.
No comments yet — be the first.

I watched DVD of my wedding.
My mother died 2 months ago before my wedding. My family and my friends supported me very much at that time. I realized how people think of me and they are priceless.
It was right to marry my husband and he is such a wonderful man.

I don't know if I can truly, objectively, appreciate the work of certain people. I find it almost impossible to dislike anything by The Fall, by The Beatles and by Woody Allen but, even with that knowledge in mind, I still honestly think that this is a hugely enjoyable piece of work; one that, if made by an unknown name, would have led to a ticker-tape parade of praise. Allen makes it all look so easy. Like with people such as Prince, such as Richard Thompson, such as Lee "Scratch" Perry who are/were exceptional in more than area, they'd probably get more credit if they were only a great singer, or only a great song-writer, or only a ground-breaking producer. Allen has been a magician; a magnificent stand-up comic; a talented musician; a raconteur; an essayist and playwright; an actor; a director.
Larry David appears as the "surrogate Woody" (the script came from the mid-1970s, when it was written for Zero Mostel; it was never created for Woody or Larry David) and he does brilliantly in smoothly barking out his character's wordy condemnations of seemingly everyone and everything. David supposedly wasn't sure in taking the film on because his successful 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' came from improvisation around an outline structure, not from a nailed-on script like this, but he's supremely good in this movie. Some argue that a blight of modern comedy is this notion of improvisation over something that's been scripted and nailed down in advance.
You can watch American comedies sometimes and once you realise that there's a preponderance of characters saying 'what?'; or there's too much repetition; and/or bad language then there's a sinking feeling that they're all often signifiers of improvisation, thrown out by performers when trying to give themselves time to think. I wondered why this idea had taken hold in comedy and someone came up with the probable reason: digital film-making; digital cameras. There's no need to conserve film; no reason even to call 'cut', there's nothing too cut; so they just go on and on until they find something they like. Which is okay but why, then, do we the viewer sometimes get the fool's gold rather than the actual jewels?
I don't know: maybe the director feels too close to the actors and hasn't got the distance to decide what is and isn't good? One of Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's 'Oblique Strategies' to encourage lateral thinking is that if you're ever blocked and struggling with something then throw out the 'best part'. It's often feels like the modern comedy film-maker will make sure to keep what they most like, in itself, even if it doesn't connect and relate within the overall. Melissa McCarthy, for example, comes across like a profoundly funny and terrific comedy actor, in films like 'The Heat', like 'Bridesmaids', like 'Ghostbusters', like 'Spy' but those films are all directed and put together by Paul Feig. She also gets directed by her husband, Ben Falcone, in some much less successful films, like 'Tammy', like 'The Boss', like 'Identity Thief'. You sometimes see a terrible film that, Smokey and the Bandit-style, ends with 'bloopers' over the end credits and you see how much fun they had while your own jaw was motionless: that they are saying things that make everyone there fall about, doesn't mean that it'll translate automatically to the audience.
Saying all that, I rather liked 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', improvised comedy et al, until about the third or fourth series (the one that included a mobile/cell phone being hidden in a woman's vagina) when I just thought: "This is terrible!". One could see the joins, see the straining for laughs when comedy should flow, it should be effortless and inevitable. It was hard work, just as an observer, to get to the end. Awful. Also, I started to get greatly irritated with the whole premise: if Larry's playing a person who wrote Seinfeld then he's also playing someone who is a multi-millionaire so why should I care about these irritating problems? Which would be nothing to someone which that much coin? Still, 'Whatever Works' was so great I think that I'll give 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' another try, all the way through.
David's character comes across Evan Rachel Wood's character. They get hooked together somewhat and things spin off from there. In the flow of the next 88 minutes, other couples (other trebles, even) come about and interact. Not to give too much away, especially in the age of Trump, but New York will probably become more of a liberal outpost than ever and the attitude to relationships and politics within this film is so 'left-wing New York' to the absolute extreme. It's great.
Also, there's a strangely prescient sequence in what I guess is Madame Tussauds in New York. We open on a president, the Idiot Son, George W. Bush; we see Ronald "Mad Dog" (McDonald) "Ray-Gun" Reagan in the background; Bill Clinton too. The two characters with which the scene's concerned are from the south of the country, from Mississippi, with the older one advising the other about the honour of Bill Graham and pointing to – in this room of many presidents – the waxwork of Donald Trump as someone one should admire and consider as marriage material. This is a 2009 film remember, yet this plays like a perfect anti-Republican film in 2017, and it stars the guy who played Bernie Sanders for SNL in 2016.
Evan Rachel Wood always does decent work: she's currently in the highly-rated 'Westworld' but I especially love her in the mighty, insanely brave and daring 'Across The Universe' and the video for Sleater-Kinney's 'No Cities To Love'. Here, she never stops being the optimistic woman, someone's who's totally endearing and good-hearted, despite the verbal harangues of Larry David's 'Boris'. Wood does a fine bit of physical comedy to Beethhoven's 5th and she 'walks and talks' her character to the bone: completely convincing. As with many a Woody Allen film, there's a full cast (gratifyingly, mentioned alphabetically which, I think, only Warren Beatty also still does now) of great performers – the stage actress, Jessica Hecht (Susan Bunch in 'Friends') and Patricia Clarkson and even a man of steel, Henry Cavill, allowed to speak in his own accent.
I gather that this film has some good reviews (3 out of 4 from Roger Ebert) but some terrible ones too: one major paper made it one of Woody's worst films ever, another gave it one star. I just don't see that at all: it's clever and it's very funny. There might have been some resistance to the central relationship and the real-life forty year age gap, I suppose? Sometimes it almost seems to be that age-gap relationships are the last bastion of relationship bigotry, a 'soft' discrimination, and the same people who go in the hardest on this issue, often seem to be those who support gay marriage or trans marriage yet, when age-gap couples rear their head, it's like they think that they've accrued enough good will to be allowed to spit bile. I guess that it's on the grounds of a woman being potentially exploited by an older male but it seems to me to deny a female adult the agency to know what's in their best interests. I don't know. It seems to me that if one grown adult likes another grown adult enough then that's their business and the end of any outside discussion or commentary. In the film, there's zero physical affection shown between the main two characters, anyway.
There's a retrospective re-writing of Allen's oeuvre that constantly goes on, forever getting revised. First the 'early, funny ones', as referenced in his 1980 Stardust Memories, are deemed as the gold standard; then it's the Annie Hall/Manhattan period; then it's Hannah & Her Sisters and The Purple Rose of Cairo; then Husbands and Wives; then Bullets Over Broadway and on and on it goes. I'd put his recent 'Cafe Society' and 'Whatever Works' both on the second layer within his whole body of work for cinema, slightly behind stuff like Sleeper, Love and Death, Bananas, Zelig, Deconstructing Harry and Broadway Danny Rose.

"This recipe is a variation of Nimz's Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe (Buttermilk Pancakes). My son has a severe egg allergy and I have been looking high and low for a pancake recipe. I learned that applesauce can be a substitute for eggs when egg only provides moisture to the recipe. 1/4 cup applesauce can take the place of one egg. So I decided to use a buttermilk pancake recipe to test this, since there are other ingredients to provided fluffiness (ie. buttermilk, baking soda, and baking powder) and it worked! My son has finally eaten a delicious pancake - one that does not taste like paste. Try and enjoy!"

If you've been following this blog since its creation, you'll know that a lot of what I started off talking about was my transition from University graduation, to soul crushing grocery store job, to internship with a Canadian charity and finally, to a personal venture I was really stoked about – The Storytelling Project. If you've been consistently following us since then, and are a particularly astute observer, you may have noticed that any further mention of the project after its launch has been strangely absent.
Things have fallen slightly off the wagon, it would seem. Not to say that I don't still love the notion of pursuing it. Its just been, well, a mixture of things. Having a ton of footage but no time to edit it is the first problem. And to be fair, work (paid work, that is) has kept me quite busy as of late, and I've been doing a much better job at balancing my life – I'm still not sleeping a ton, but at least now I'm no longer working 15-20 hours a day.
All of these things aside, however, I think the main thing stopping me from pursuing it full steam ahead, is fear. Fear of the uncertainty. Of the question marks. Fear of the black hole. To pursue The Storytelling Project full time would be to risk it failing, to risk my financial well-being, to leave a job I am mostly stable in and, in general (despite recent events), enjoy.
I know that I love talking to people and collecting their stories. I know that I love using my skills in video production and narrative creation to craft a visually engaging story. I know that I love the idea of doing that as a career. I just don't know…how. How to bring it from a fun, enjoyable thing I do in my spare time, and make it into a thing that pays the bills. I know that the answer is probably to just go for it, but it's easier said than done. Especially when I get emails once a month from the Ontario government reminding me how much I owe in student loan debt.
Like I said last time, though, I don't want to let money dictate my decisions. And so, the fun of transitioning to adult life. Things are never quite easy, and never quite clear. It's a bit of a black hole. A bit of a journey through a thick fog. You know which way you want to go – it's just the path there that is unclear.
And so that's where I sit currently: at the intersection of where am and where I know I want to be, one foot hovering in the air, slowly moving back and forth between the scary, uncertain path with the patch of light somewhere down the road, and the constant, familiar path that is lit along the way but doesn't seem to be leading anywhere in particular.
I simultaneously do and do not understand how the choice can seem so obvious and so difficult at the same time. And its not like I dislike the things that I'm doing now – my job with a Canadian Charity and contract videography work for a University – I just know that they're a place holder. A momentary thing keeping rent paid and belly full. They aren't leading me anywhere beyond the place I'm already in. That said, I also enjoy them enough to keep doing them, despite knowing I'd be happier with TSP.
There are other parts to this quandary, too. The somewhat hilarious notion that I'm scared to start because I'm scared to see it fail, all the while the site sits un-updated, the footage un-edited, and my dream of taking TSP to a place where people and organizations are actively seeking me out to tell their story, as far away as ever. It has, as much by inaction as by potential action and outcome, failed. Then there's the people I feel I'm letting down – those who believed in me and cheered me on when I started, and those whose stories I've collected but, by my inaction, smothered. Kept hidden and collecting dust, instead of letting them out into the wild, to be consumed by others.
Part of me wants to force myself into action by quitting my jobs. Fight fire with fire and overcome my fear by injecting a new kind of it into my brain; use the threat of dwindling groceries and looming rent payments to get my butt in gear. The other part of me thinks that's stupid and isn't afraid to vocalize it. I don't know which part is right. I'm just hoping that, somehow, I can find the courage to step into the black hole and get things back on track.
Whatever does end up happening, I'll be sure to share.
Until next time.
Ambiguously yours,

Start off by telling the interviewer that you do not mind addressing customer complaints, and you recognize that most customers have good intentions when coming forth with a claim. Tell the interviewer that you take time to listen to everything the customer has to say first to ensure you truly understand what they are upset about. Next, share that you make eye contact with the customer and sincerely apologize to them. Finally, be sure to mention that you offer to correct any mistakes that were made or take the appropriate action to rectify the situation.
"I do have some training in customer dispute management. If a customer is ever unhappy with their service or product, I would be sure to apologize and ask them how I can ensure they become a satisfied customer again. Most customers will tell you exactly what they want, to satiate their needs."

Caveman finds buried treasure

"It can be disgusting," says the Simon Fraser University earth scientist.
But buried in gravel beneath the clay that Ward and his colleagues are extracting from a raised sea cave near Zeballos on the west coast of Vancouver Island is a treasure trove of geological information.
Ward has uncovered 100 to 200 bone fragments that are 16,000 to 18,000 years old, a time period that predates the last time glaciers covered coastal B.C.
"It's rare to find sediments that survive glacial periods because glaciers usually erode them," notes Ward.
The constant pounding of waves along an exposed coastline as long as 100,000 years ago formed the sea cave encasing the sediment found by Ward.
During the ice age, glacial buildup deposited mud in the sea cave and sealed it off. Movement in the earth's crust eventually pushed the cave above sea level, turning it into a floating time capsule.
Ward is the first scientist to use sea cave analysis as a means of dating geological deposits in North America. The technique was developed in Norway.
The information gathered about flora and fauna could help scientists make projections about future climate changes.
"The sediment in the sea cave we discovered contains the bone fragments of the oldest Vancouver Island marmot, Townsends vole (mouse) and Savannah sparrow found in B.C.," says Ward. "Interestingly, the Vancouver Island marmot survived the last glaciation but is near extinction now. Our find indicates that B.C.'s coastline could have supported the migration of early North American natives from Asia."
Ward is excited about the prospect of his work contributing to the resolution of the longstanding mystery - how did prehistoric man get from Asia to North America?
The prospect of solving such a mystery makes being blasted by water from a fire hose after a hard day's work all the more bearable.
Ward would like anyone with information about other raised sea caves along the west coast of Vancouver Island or off the Queen Charlottes to contact him at 604-291-4229, or email him.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Aretha Franklin turns 71 on Monday and then performs Wednesday at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
The performance, originally scheduled for Nov. 13 last year, begins at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets go from $49.50, $79.50, $99.50 and $149.50 and may still be purchased at www.wmconcerts.com .
"I'm there to give the best performance I can," Franklin said in a statement. "The idea is to be as uplifting as possible and as inspiring to people as possible so they are glad they came and they leave with something that helps them throughout their day and on their way."
The performance will be part of the Pepe Infiniti Concert Series at the County Center.
"It feels like we're going to be witnesses to history," said Irwin Kornfeld, CEO of WM Concerts. "It's Aretha."
Franklin is to be inducted into the Gospel Music Association's Hall of Fame in August, and her list of accomplishments dates back decades. In 1987 she was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She has 20 Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards and four NAACP Image Awards, and she is the 2005 recipient of a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Additionally, she is working on a new album with Clive Davis that will be produced by Babyface, and a biopic of her life is currently in the works. Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx are being considered for the part of Franklin's father, and Jennifer Hudson and Audra McDonald are being considered to play the Queen of Soul herself, reports have said.

des·ti·ny:"The inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined; one's lot."
Someone asked me this week: "What is your destiny?"
Now I don't know if he was looking for a real, thoughtful or deep answer. But when I couldn't answer, it really got me thinking.
Do you think anyone really knows thier destiny? Or do we figure it out when we get there? Are we in control of own destiny? Or is it like the defintion – inevitable?
Can we change our stars?

With us having 5 cats good cat litter is hard to come by. We've tried many brands that were supposed to "clump" and be "easy to scoop" and were for "multiple cats", but they never seemed to work for us. We only have 2 litter boxes, and yes I'm aware that we should have more, however 4 of our cats are from the same litter and have no problem sharing the box. The 4 use the same litter box while the other one, Sheila, uses the other box.
The problem we ran into with 4 cats using the same litter box was that the litter would clump, but because all the cats pee in the same spot the litter would become too saturated and when trying to scoop would crumble, that was until someone told me about Exquisicat Hard Clumping Easy Scooping Litter. We tried this litter and no matter how many times the cats pee during the day I can easily scoop it up later that night with no crumbling!I prefer the Fresh Scent vs the Scent Free, because some of my cats fail to cover. The scent also helps maintain the smelly box from emitting throughout the room. I absolutely love this litter and recommend it to anyone who has more than one cat or to people who have a frequent urinator. I give this litter ***** stars!
It's also very inexpensive, you can by it at Petsmart for $12.99 for 40 LBS! Yes 40 pounds! Sometimes it will also go on sale for petperks members for $9.99-10.99!

Different Seasons by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoy Stephen King, however, I have to be really choosy in what I read of his, because some of his works scare the shit out of me.
This is a series of four shortish stories, and while each story (except the first one) has an element of creepy darkish weirdness to it, they're not bad.
The first story is Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, and the movie remarkably nails it, so I'm not going to discuss it here.
The second story is Apt Pupil, and this is, by far, the most disturbing of the set, but not in a sleep-with-the-light-on sort of way. It's about a boy who discovers a former Nazi officer living in his home town, and rather than turn him in, the boy asks a lot of questions about what the man did during WWII. The boy and the man develop this mutual co-dependent grotesque relationship based on their fascination with mass murder. The content is disturbing, in and of itself, and also because you watch a seemingly normal, albeit precocious, boy turn a corner into someone very dark and disturbed, and even to the end of the book, I found myself wondering how he was going to get out of it, how this boy was going to get back to normal.
The third story is The Body, which was turned into the movie, Stand by Me. It was after watching the movie and seeing in the credits that it was based on a short story by King, that I decided to read the book. The Body is, in a nutshell, a coming-of-age story about four boys. The boys go off on an adventure to find the body of a boy about their own age who was hit by a train. That description doesn't really do the story justice, but I don't think you read coming-of-age stories for the plot so much as for self-reflection and an opportunity to go back and live a different youth.
The fourth story is called The Breathing Method, and is about a man who joins a club where the members tell stories. Except it isn't quite as simple as that. The club has an element of almost Alice in Wonderland-ish mystique to it, where not all doors are open, and not all doors lead to rooms in this world. There's an almost dream-like quality to the club, and while reading the story, I felt at any moment I might be drawn back into reality.
I had a friend tell me she liked reading King because he wrote what we all thought but were afraid to say. I'm not sure I totally agree with that assessment, but I do think King says things we all want to say, only he manages to articulate it so much better than we ever could. As an example, here's a quote from The Breathing Method: Ellen was sixty per cent asleep when I sat down on the bed to take off my shoes. She rolled over and made a fuzzy interrogative sound deep in her throat. I told her to go back to sleep. She made the muzzy sound again. This time it approximated English: "Howwuzzit?"
Captain America and I have lots of conversations where one of us is "sixty per cent asleep" and this is EXACTLY what they sound like, although it would have taken me about 92 sentences to describe them.
At the end of the book (at least in the version I read) is a letter from King to his readers. He says a couple of interesting things in it that I want to share.
But neither of these magazines [Atlantic Monthly or The New Yorker] has been particularly receptive to my stuff, which is fairly plan, not very literary, and sometimes (although it hurts like hell to admit it) downright clumsy. To some degree or other, I would guess that those very qualities--unadmirable though they may be--have been responsible for the success of my novels. Most of them have been plain fiction for plain folks, the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and a large fries from McDonald's.
I disagree with King's assessment of his writing, and I wouldn't have used the word plain, except that King doesn't use flowery language, he uses accurate language. I'm not sure that makes it plain at all.
Finally, he says of this book in particular:
But I've been in love with each of these stories, too, and part of me always will be in love with them, I guess. I hope that you liked them, Reader; that they did for you what any good story should do--make you forget the real stuff weighing on your mind for a little while and take you away to a place you've never been. It's the most amiable sort of magic I know.
Isn't that wonderful?
