text: This morning Hubby kissed me goodbye and left for work, just like every morning. About 2 minutes later he comes back in and says "Jana, my car won't start, can I drive yours today?" That was no problem for today but tomorrow it would be a BIG problem. After looking at it for a few minutes I quickly realized the problem must be with either the starter or the battery. The battery was replaced less than a year ago, so my money was on the starter. Quite literally, as a starter runs around $400. We weren't going to be able to tow it today, and I wanted to avoid towing (read: extra $100) if we could, since we don't have the money to start with. I went outside with the intention to call my cousin Calvin, the Car Whisperer, to see if he knew anything that would help. I got ahold of his wife who told me he was unavailable. Sad day. Before I even hung up my cell, one of our neighbors came to me and said "I'm a mechanic, can I look at your car?" He tried to start it, and it didn't work. He then popped the hood and jiggled a wire. Voila! He then gave us the cost estimate: 75 cents! Yep, you read that right, 3/4 of a dollar. The battery needs to be cleaned off with a can of coke. I tell you, whoever our guardian angels are, they don't get paid enough!

Growing up, my friends and I would spend hours back here playing in this little woods; anything from bridges to forts. Slowly this place turned from a dense decidious forest to the current baren shell it is now. You will even find horse shoe pits and park benches where the mighty trees used to be. Take a few minutes to enjoy this quiet relaxing spot.
This should be a quick find, there is plenty of parking in the church parking lot. I have never seen it more than half full even on Sunday mornings. It will be a short hike into the wooded area and there may be standing water if it has recently rained.

If Peyton Manning humming the Nationwide Insurance jingle didn't burn the company's name into your brain over these last few months, its dark, despairing Super Bowl spot surely did the trick.
If you saw the ad, you remember it. In a playful tone, a sweet young boy discusses the life experiences he has seemingly not yet experienced -- from learning to ride a bicycle to getting married -- before delivering the jolting news that it's not that these events had yet to occur, but that they never would... because he died in a childhood accident. Nationwide then shows us some examples of how the boy may have met his tragic end -- an overflowing tub, poisons under the sink, a large TV toppled onto the floor -- before delivering the punchline: "Make Safe Happen."
Nationwide was heavily criticized for the spot but defended itself, saying the message was not meant to be a sales pitch at all, but a "conversation starter." In fairness, the message is a good one -- more awareness of preventable injuries could well save lives -- but only a rube would believe that's all that was at play here.
The buzzkill nature of the commercial, aired during the first half of America's biggest sports event, at a cost of millions of advertising dollars, was certainly aimed at selling insurance. It made you remember Nationwide, whether you were moved, angered or simply informed by the heartbreaking image of the commercial.
Because, admit it. Which one of Sunday's commercials do you remember with the most clarity?
Focus on the Fearful
There's a scientific explanation for the phenomenon, for why we focus on the painful or fearful things in life more than we do the happy or joyful events. It's called the "negativity bias."
As a doctor who has studied how the brain responds to negative messages, I would argue that Nationwide knew exactly what it was doing. Hundreds of scientific studies support the existence of the negativity bias. We are hard-wired to ruminate on the negative. It is a natural part of our psyche, initially called upon to keep us alert when we were prey, on guard for that saber-toothed tiger that might be waiting for us in the next clearing.
Take a look at the science:
- Princeton psychologist Daniel Kahneman coined the term "loss aversion" to describe the phenomenon that we mourn loss more deeply than we celebrate gain of the same value.
- The brain is quicker to pick out an angry face in a crowd than a happy one.
- Traumatic memories stick with us longer.
- In an academic paper famously titled "Bad Is Stronger Than Good," Roy Baumeister and colleagues wrote that "bad emotions, bad parents and bad feedback have more impact than good ones. Bad impressions and bad stereotypes are quicker to form and more resistant to disconfirmation than good ones."
- In a study of people watching ads from the George W. Bush and Al Gore campaigns, electrodes placed under the eyes of the participants picked up on the "startle response," the automatic eye movement typically seen in response to snakes, spiders and other threats.
- Barbara Fredrickson, a psychologist who studies positive emotions, discovered that we need to generate at least three positive thoughts to counteract each negative one. Most of us are at 2:1, and people who are depressed or have other emotional disorders are at 1:1 or lower, Fredrickson says.
- Researcher Mario Losada studied 60 business teams and found that in the highest-performing groups, employees were complimented six times for every time they were criticized. For low-performing groups, the ratio was 1:1 or lower.
On Super Bowl Sunday, when many viewers tune in as much for the high-priced comic, poignant and extravagantly produced TV commercials as they do for the football, the Nationwide ad was largely seen as a cheap shot. Drawing us in with a light, happy tone, it ends with a horrible jolt. On a day of escapism, a celebration of football, buffalo wings and Katy Perry, it was seen as a little too much reality.
An avalanche of criticism quickly ensued. Comedian Patton Oswalt, for example, tweeted: "The second I see a kid in one of these commercials I immediately assume they're going to die. Thanks, Nationwide!" Another Twitter user wrote, "Remember to buy Nationwide Insurance or your kid dies."
But we remember. And we remember Nationwide.
Works for Smoking Cessation
The brain is a magnet for negativity. We all recall the horrifying faces of Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger more clearly than that of the third-youngest von Trapp -- or any of the von Trapps, for that matter -- from "The Sound of Music."
It is a concept well-known and universally accepted in advertising, particularly in the world of PSAs and charities. Images of starving children and suffering animals are impossible to forget when presented by aid organizations. So, too, do we remember the faces from the frightening "Tips From Former Smokers" campaign, produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has been credited with helping hundreds of thousands of smokers quit. But seldom, if ever, has a "for-profit" commercial spot stirred such emotions and caused such controversy.
We won't forget Nationwide's "conversation starter" any time soon. But after the backlash has subsided, the insurance giant knows one thing is certain: When a consumer is looking to buy an insurance policy, there is a much better chance that something in his hard-wired brain will retrieve one name in particular -- "Nationwide."

This task, located in Tehran, Iran, has been completed with the architectural company Kourosh Rafiey Architectural Style Studio (KRDS). This pool & hot tub is located in a personal garden that is surrounded simply by green locations and this tree trees. Perched atop a little hill plus surrounded simply by green landscapes, it has great views within the city.
The particular pavilion, the concrete building, is located on a single side of the rectangular pool. Inside, we are able to find a spa and a spa. The construction also has the spacious patio from exactly where we can place under the sunlight, dive to the pool, or perhaps enjoy yourself in peacefulness while watching the particular sunset all in all.
The main concept with this task was to produce an connection between the structures of the constructing and the backyards that encompass it, plus somehow incorporate both as one.
The stunning gardens, exactly where flowers various colors provide us their particular aroma plus grant lifestyle and colour to the location, serve as the preamble for the remainder and rest that we will discover inside their amenities.
At night, under the synthetic light as well as the silence from the night, a good atmosphere within complete relaxed invites all of us to relax.

I read a few articles not long ago about how when black people become more successful they have a tendency to want not to identify as black. For example, they do not want to be the good black lawyer they only want to be seen as the good lawyer. To some extent I think its "cute" to want to live in a color blind world; but keeping it 100 that just is damn near impossible. Not only so, but among scholars its agreed that it is not colorblindness that makes someone enlightened, it is acknowledging the differences we all have an not being affected by them. Now…take that thought and continue reading.
I was standing in the middle of a salsa club last night with my friends and I heard myself say, "I'm going to marry a black Southern guy." Why? Because as weird as it sounds things are so much more clear there than other so-called progressive places. You take a place like California which is likely one of the most liberal states en totale but I've found it to be a place where…hmm people are playing a big game of Keeping up. Not all, I am grossly generalizing. I take moving to California kind of how people take pledging…you better know who you are before hand otherwise you're in for a whirlwind of changing.
I was talking to Cleo about PWI vs. HBCU and I was telling her that same fact I opened with and how because of the timid take on identity we (as a people) Harvard over Howard. I'm no exception to this; when I thought about schools I never even considered HBCUs and was very averse to the thought of them. This was mostly because I grew up around so many it was not an experience I thought I needed. I still don't regret my decision but I am now thinking about these things for my kids and even my sisters.
It's like it clicked. Now I get why Oprah pours money into Morehouse (to uplift and encourage our black men; the rightful pillars of our community). Now I understand why Cornel West raves about Howard yet teaches at Harvard (to become an authority, to be endorsed by the clout of Harvard while spreading the gospel of our people). Now I understand why Dr. Kim told me I owed it to my race to marry a Black man and produce more black children. I get it more than ever and I find it so funny that it took moving 3000 miles away from home to really appreciate being there and how fucking beautiful growing up in Atlanta was. There is no other city in the world like my city. There are no other people in the world like my people.
I'm excited for where I am right now (I say that a lot, but I really mean it.) I see how what I am doing right now, on this day are laying a foundation.
In other news in order to truly be an asset I need to be an exemplar. So I'm working on getting my credit in order and setting my finances on the path of freedom. I say it that way because I do not ever want to be held back by something I could have had power over, by something I could have helped. I want to build kings and I want to birth queens and I just am overjoyed with the responsibilities and the purpose I'm finding in my life.
Maybe I'll talk to Fat about Howard. Maybe.

My Rating: 4/5 Stars
About: City of Lost Souls
Written by: Cassandra Clare
My Review: City of Lost Souls is the 5th book in the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. We're back with all our favourite Shadowhunters & Downworlders! And I loved this book.
I hate that it took me so long to read, but I've been in kind of a mini slump lately. Mostly my focus has been pretty non-existent. It's like I'd rather watch TV than read. But I'm gonna try to get better!!
COLS gave me like, all the feels. I don't know how many times it broke my heart, made me laugh, & stressed me out. Things moved so much faster here than it did in City of Fallen Angels. Which is amazing, 'cause it's definitely longer than its predecessor. Don't get me wrong, I liked COFA, but overall I was disappointed. I gave it a 3/5 over on GoodReads. It was just…so slow. I actually got it when it came out in 2011, but finished reading it in September of 2014. I had to shelf it for a while because it was NOT doing it for me. I'm not proud of it, but it is what it is!
So it really wasn't too hard to get better than that. There is so much love in COLS. Everybody's pairing off and being damn adorable! Though the whole plot line with Alec frustrated the hell out of me throughout the entire book. Not that it was bad, it wasn't, but that is some hard reading, let me tell you. No spoilers, but if it doesn't get you in the heart, then you are a soulless monster!!
The action in this book was fun & ridiculously entertaining. There's a second war coming, & it is gonna be huge! Or, at least, it totally should be. I'll have to read City of Heavenly Fire to find out for sure.
I'm not entirely sure what else to say, guys. I loved this book. I feel like it's a great addition to the Mortal Instruments series, especially considering it was supposed to be a trilogy when it started (which might explain why COFA wasn't the best). I love watching Simon grow into his own as a vampire, & Clary becoming more & more badass in her role as a Shadowhunter. (though I do feel she still has a ways to go before she's a super bad ass!!)
Obviously recommended if you've started TMI but haven't finished it yet. If City of Fallen Angels turned you off, do yourself a favour & please please PLEASE give City of Lost Souls a try before you quit the series forever. It gets better, I promise.

A trip to the East Village's Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen sent me into full fire desire for another dairy-free cheesecake.
<–They have both blueberry vanilla and chocolate gluten-free, dairy-free cheesecakes. Sitting right there on that shelf. For me to eat. And you. If there's any left.
After stuffing my face with a slice of the GF, dairy-free blueberry vanilla cheesecake, I then proceeded to eat half of my little brother's chocolate slice. I knew this was a problem.
Thus? I made my own. My wallet, and little brother, are a lot happier this way.
Inspiration: Soy Glad I Can Eat This Cheesecake
Bubble Child benefits: gluten- and dairy-free; Everybody's benefits: low in saturated fat, calories, and sugar. No high-fructose corn-syrup or crazy artificial anything! Yaaaaaay.
1 3/4 cups finely crushed graham crackers*
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup non-dairy, non-hydrogenated margarine, melted
1/4 tsp. almond extract**
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 8 oz. packages non-dairy (soy) cream cheese
3 eggs, beaten
12 oz. non-dairy sour cream
1 cup sugar***
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. pure almond extract**
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 45-50 minutes
Serves: 8-12
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Make crust, by combining crushed graham crackers and flax in large bowl. In separate small bowl, combine melted margarine, extracts, and cinnamon. Pour margarine mixture over graham cracker mixture and combine until completely coated.
3. Pour crust mixture into a spring-form pan, and press flat with a spatula. Set aside.
4. Prepare the filling! Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and eggs at medium speed, until well-combined (about 1-2 minutes). Add sour cream, and beat on low speed for one minute. Slowly add in sugar, salt, and extracts. Beat at low speed, until completely blended.
5. Pour filling over crust, and pop in oven.
6. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, then reduce heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until center is firm.
7. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
* For a GLUTEN-FREE version, use non-dairy, gluten-free graham crackers/vanilla cookies instead!
** For a NUT-FREE version, use vanilla extract instead!
***Replace sugar with 1/4 cup agave nectar for severe sugar sensitivities!

The newest cheap home decor chain is on its way to the United States.
The parent company of T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods is launching a new home store concept called Homesense. Parent company TJX announced in March that it would open a new discount chain selling home decor items, but didn't release any other information.
The company told People magazine that Homesense stores in the U.S. will be similar to the locations already open in Europe and Canada. The stores will offer furniture, art, sodas, chairs, pool tables, lighting and other home decor items.
Homesense also carries items like cleaning essentials, home improvement items, hardware items and storage supplies. The first store will open Aug. 17 in Framingham, Massachusetts, and more locations are set to open this year in New Jersey.
"Just as our customers enjoy shopping both TJ Maxx and Marshalls, we are confident that loyal customers and new shoppers alike will be excited about shopping both Homesense and HomeGoods," HomeGoods and Homesense president John Ricciuti said in a statement. "We are excited to bring consumers an expanded selection of quality merchandise at incredible prices, along with a new shopping experience in which they can discover and curate the home of their dreams."
According to reports, there are three major differences between HomeGoods and Homesense: the "general store" offerings including hardware, home improvement and cleaning materials, the store's layout and availability of more furniture and big design items.

A Georgia woman could face jail time and a large fine over her garden.
Atlanta city code enforcement officers told Lexa King that her flower garden is overgrown.
King told WSB-TV's Rikki Klaus that she's been growing her garden for about 30 years. She beams when she talks about the azaleas in her yard.
"And since I pay the taxes and since I pay the mortgage and since I pay the insurance, I figure I'm the one that gets to say," King said.
Code enforcement officers see the situation, and her garden, differently.
"They said it was messy, said it was overgrown," King said. "I said, 'Well, this is a matter of your interpretation.'"

In December, King said, an anonymous complaint led to an arrest citation. It details "overgrowth" in her yard and said she's violating a city code that prohibits "excessive growth."
"We asked him for a definition of excessive, which he could not provide," King said.
Klaus asked King whether she plans to cut the shrubs back.
"Not unless I'm absolutely forced to," King said.
King said she's fighting a bigger battle to protect the quirkiness of Atlanta's Candler Park neighborhood.
"This is not about me. It's not about those azaleas. This is about our neighborhood and the way of life that we have here," King said.
Neighbors said they've been writing to City Council members on King's behalf.
"We're hoping for dismissal of these charges before Lexa King appears in front of the Municipal Court of Atlanta to be sentenced for her crime of azaleas," neighbor Scott Jacobs said.
Klaus researched the penalties of a court citation. King could face up to 60 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Her hearing will take place in August.
Klaus contacted code enforcement for reaction to this story. She's still waiting to get a response.

Shopping Carts at Night
Shopping carts on the lam.
Strip Mall in the Fog
People walk by and drive by this spot every day. People look at these aging strip malls and want them replaced with something new and shiny. How far in the future do we have to be to look at what was new and shiny and want it gone because it makes us feel bad. How far in the future do we have to be to see it as a piece of history?
How beautiful it can be in the fog at dawn.
I've worked hard to find interesting things in my town. I've gotten up too early or stayed out too late. But the more I shot, the more attached I become. The process of looking is sometimes the process of loving.
Homage to X-Files
Well, it's not from the X-files, of course. It's from Rotary Park in Ajax. The glow at the top is not from a spaceship or a helicopter, but from the moon. The glowing light in the background is also not a spaceship or Area 51 or anything like that. It's the water treatment plant.
At least that's what they claim…

So just what exactly is Google Wave anyway?
Well, think of it as a replacement for email. Not a replacement exactly, but more of an improvement.
So much of what we do in email is send redundant information back-n-forth– sending a reply to the reply… when new people come into a "thread" it can be difficult for them to get all the background/history of the matter, make introdutions with all participants and begin contributing. Google Wave attampt to create that "bulletin board"- like repository, while providing some nifty groupware and repository functions as well.
Still confused?

Last Friday we went to Pisa & Lucca. I had mixed feelings about Pisa — on the one hand it was really cool to see the leaning tower (something you see so often in photos) in person, but on the other hand there wasn't really much else to do there. It was fun nonetheless and we all ended up pretty tan because it was reaching the low 90's by the middle of the day.
I don't think there are any in this picture, but you could see lines of people standing around with their hands out, taking the obligatory tourist photo. I tried to be a little bit different… I took one where I was pushing the tower over instead of trying to hold it up!
When we got to Lucca we rented bikes and rode along the city's wall, which is one of the few (the only?) left fully intact. It is a fun, gorgeous ride, and I definitely reccomend it if you're ever there. It only takes about half an hour so we were able to ride around twice before lunch.
Instead of an ice cream truck there is a gelato bike!

DAVID SCHUPBACH, ET AL., PLAINTIFF,v.ROBERT M. GATES, SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Judge Gregory L. Frost
Magistrate Judge Norah McCann King
This matter is before the Court on Defendant's Motion to Dismiss ("Defendant's Motion") (ECF No. 2), Plaintiffs' Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant's Motion (ECF No. 22), Plaintiffs' Supplement to their Memorandum in Opposition (ECF No. 23), Defendant's Reply Memorandum (ECF No. 24), Plaintiffs' Second Motion to Supplement their Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant's Motion, Instanter (ECF No. 28). For the reasons that follow, the Court GRANTS Defendant'smotion and GRANTS Plaintiffs' motion.
I. Background
Plaintiffs, Ricky Oltman and David Schupbach, were employed by Defendant in the Department of Defense Logistics Agency. On November 13, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint with their employer's Equal Employment Opportunity ("EEO") Department alleging sex and age discrimination based on the class's non-selection for Job Opportunity Announcement (JOA) DSCC-07-3119. There were originally five members of the class complaint; however, two of the members withdrew prior to the filing of the formal complaint. Plaintiffs remained as members of the class with Plaintiff Oltman acting as the class agent and C. Philip Henry, President, IFPTE Local 7, acting as their representative.
On July 1, 2008, Administrative Judge Elliot Porter dismissed Plaintiffs' class complaint for failure to satisfy the legal requirements of a class complaint. Plaintiffs proceeded to pursue their complaints as individual complaints while retaining Henry as their representative. Plaintiffs separately withdrew their formal complaints of discrimination in July 2009.
In April 2010, Plaintiffs petitioned their respective Administrative Judges requesting that their withdrawals be rescinded and their cases reopened so they could file their individual complaints in a United States district court. Both Administrative Judges denied Plaintiffs' requests. In July 2010, Plaintiffs contacted the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime EEO Manager, Charles Palmer, to request that the Agency reopen their individual complaints. Plaintiffs claimed that they did not understand that by withdrawing their administrative complaints they were also waiving their rights to file their claims in federal district court.
On August 10, 2010, EEO Manager Palmer contacted Plaintiffs and requested that they provide evidence that they did not knowingly waive their rights. Counsel for Plaintiffs responded to Palmer on September 29, 2010, asserting that the forms that Plaintiffs signed in July 2009 did not state they were waiving their rights to subsequently file their claims in court. On October 4, 2010, Palmer informed Plaintiffs that the Agency would not reopen their individual complaints.
On February 11, 2011, Plaintiffs filed this action, alleging claims for gender discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. ("Title VII") and age discrimination in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. ("ADEA"). On April 18, 2011, Defendant filed Defendant's Motion, arguing that he is entitled to dismissal of this action because Plaintiffs fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Specifically, Defendant argued that Plaintiffs failed to exhaust their administrative remedies and that their claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
On May 11, 2011, Plaintiffs requested and were granted an extension of time in which to respond to Defendant's Motion. On May 19, 2011, Plaintiffs again requested an extension of time in which to respond to Defendant's Motion. In this second motion, Plaintiffs informed the Court that they needed sixty days to conduct limited discovery so that they could sufficiently respond to Defendant's Motion. Plaintiffs indicated that they were in need of the form signed by Plaintiffs that was identified in one of the exhibits to Defendant's Motion that Defendant claimed showed that Plaintiffs knowingly waived their rights to file an action in federal court. This Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for an extension of time for the purpose of engaging in discovery.
Defendant had not responded to Plaintiffs' motion for an extension of time to conduct discovery before the Court granted that motion, and indeed, informed the Court through a motion for a protective order that it opposed Plaintiffs' request to engage in discovery. (ECF No. 13.) Defendant indicated that it voluntarily provided the document that Plaintiffs claimed they needed in discovery. On July 25, 2011, this Court granted Defendant's motion for a protective order, concluding that Plaintiffs did not need any further information from Defendant to oppose Defendant's Motion. (ECF No. 18.)
On August 4, 2011, Plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the complaint (ECF No. 21), which was unopposed. On September 7, 2011, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion to amend. (ECF No. 25.) The amended complaint added the statement: "Administrative exhaustion and timeliness requirements are subject to equitable tolling and equitable estoppel." (ECF No. 21 On August 8, 2011, Plaintiffs filed their Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant's Motion (ECF No. 22), and on August 15, 2011, Defendant filed its Reply Memorandum in Support of its Motion (ECF No. 24).
On October 11, 2011, Plaintiffs filed their Second Motion to Supplement their Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant's Motion, Instanter. (ECF No. 28).
II. Standard
Defendant moves for dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendant and Plaintiffs, however, present numerous documents in support of their arguments for or against dismissal of this action. As Plaintiffs correctly note, when matters outside of the pleadings are relied upon, the Court may convert a motion to dismiss to one for summary judgment. Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides the mechanism for such a conversion:
Result of Presenting Matters Outside the Pleadings. If, on a motion under Rule 12(b)(6) or 12(c), matters outside the pleadings are presented to and not excluded by the court, the motion must be treated as one for summary judgment under Rule 56. All parties must be given a reasonable opportunity to present all the material that is pertinent to the motion.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(d).
Here, the Court finds that both parties have been given a reasonable opportunity to present all the material that is pertinent to Defendant's Motion. Indeed, "Plaintiffs request that the Court consider [Defendant's] Motion as one for summary judgment where the Plaintiffs have put forth factual evidence." (ECF No. 22 at 6.) Defendant does not oppose this conversion. Therefore, the Court will treat Defendant's Motion as one for summary judgment.
Summary judgment is appropriate "if the movant shows that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). The Court may therefore grant a motion for summary judgment if the nonmoving party who has the burden of proof at trial fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element that is essential to that party's case. See Muncie Power Prods., Inc. v. United Techs. Auto., Inc., 328 F.3d 870, 873 (6th Cir. 2003) (citing Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986)).
The "party seeking summary judgment always bears the initial responsibility of informing the district court of the basis for its motion, and identifying those portions" of the record which demonstrate "the absence of a genuine issue of material fact." Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at 323. The burden then shifts to the nonmoving party who "must set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 250 (1986) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e)). "The evidence of the non-movant is to be believed, and all justifiable inferences are to be drawn in his favor." Id. at 255 (citing Adickes v. S. H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 158-59 (1970)). A genuine issue of material fact exists "if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Muncie Power Prods., Inc., 328 F.3d at 873 (quoting Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248). See also Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586 (1986) (the requirement that a dispute be "genuine" means that there must be more than "some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts"). Consequently, the ...

I see a revolution coming as people become aware that the people they elect aren't representing them but are mere shills given to the electorate to give them the fantasy that their vote counts. The reality is the politicians work for those who finance their campaigns. They court the rich. They serve the rich. And the rich are laughing at. All of us for being so dumb. But they will keep ruling because they are grooming the next generation of dumb voters. They are gutting education and making higher education their own private realm. Wake up people. That dream you had is a lie. They don't want you to be in their private club.

Today is when my blog turns 1
*claps claps claps*
I know my blog archive shows I started writing from January
but I had already made this blog before that
but I just didn't have any writing material
or maybe I was just a very lazy kinda person.
I am still now.
But that's just not the same as before.
I remember one not-so-fine January day
when I felt as if I need an escape
someplace where I could dump the feelings
and emotional overtures I was going through without hurting anyone
or letting anyone know at all.
That was a big thing. Very huge.
And I was just never the same again.
And that's when Dirty Little Secrets
Mind starts speaking, as was known previously
came to my rescue.
And since then it has always been there.
Waiting for me to approach it whenever I wanted to write
or when I wanted to let out everything I was feeling
or just when I was merely bored.
I haven't shared many personal feelings here
and I don't even think I have it in me.
I find more fascinated by characters more happening and interesting
than me.
I like dreams.
I like fiction.
I like poetries too.
But not having the ability to rhyme that well is a different matter
altogether. :P
I've met many people too.
This journey has been overwhelming.
Felling more close to people I read rather than people I am around most of the time
is a bit weird to wrap your head around
but it gives you the belief that the world is,
a very small place
even in its diversity.
There are a few people who
have totally changed my perspective
about life.
Or who have made me laugh.
Or others who have made me feel close to them.
Closer, even, then my best friends.
I can't do much for them but I should say that
I love you and your tiny world that I now feel a part of.
And an award in this situation is just passé.
So here goes,
1] Shreya from Such a Cow
2] Jeweliot/Dipti from Crowded Solitude
3] Ujjwal Raaj from Sour Canvas
4] Kanika from Sensitive Chaos
5] Bollywoodstylediaries from the blog of the same name

The Be Instrumental used band instrument drive, organized by the Nashville Alliance for Public Education and CMA during CMA Music Festival, drummed up lots of support for deserving music students and programs in Metro Nashville Public Schools.
"We are so grateful to the residents of this community and the music industry who donated instruments for this campaign," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "I have seen firsthand the impact having an instrument has on a child. Getting these long-forgotten flutes, trumpets, and clarinets into the hands of these deserving music students is something we can all be proud of. This is only the beginning of what we can accomplish in the future."
"The instrument drive created a great deal of interest and awareness for the program," said Pam Garrett, Executive Director of the Alliance. "This definitely helps increase the number of instruments we have in Metro Schools' music programs. CMA and the artists have been so generous the past three years in their support of 'Keep the Music Playing' and now the public can support the program, as well. Everyone can play a part. Thank you, thank you to everyone who participated."
Among the donations were a 1905 silver-plated saxophone and a mint-condition clarinet that belonged to – and was personally delivered by – "American Idol" finalist Bo Bice.
The level of interest from the community compelled the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to offer to be a drop off location through the end of the month for anyone who wasn't able to donate during the Festival.
"When we heard about the 'Be Instrumental' drive, we were delighted to assist in such a worthwhile cause," said Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Vice President of Museum Services Carolyn Tate. "Education is an important part of the Museum's mission, and we hope that our central location will be a convenient stop for anyone wishing to donate an instrument."
Anyone can drop gently-used band instruments off at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum during regular business hours from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily (no guitars please). You may drop them off at Guest Services in the Conservatory and receive a coupon for $5 off your admission to the Museum for up to five family members. The coupon is valid through Dec. 31, 2009. Forms will be provided so donors can receive tax credit for their donation.
"We want to keep this program going and hopefully encourage other communities to support music education in the same way," said Steve Moore, Senior Vice President of AEG Live! and President of CMA's Board of Directors. "In many cases, the instruments we collected were collecting dust in the back of a closet. They were idle and forgotten when they could be making a difference in the life of a child."
The instruments will supplement the thousands of new instruments already purchased by CMA with funds from CMA Music Festival. To date, CMA has donated more than $2.2 million to support music education in Metro Nashville Public Schools on behalf of the artists who perform at the Festival for free through a partnership with the Nashville Alliance known as "Keep the Music Playing."
Valory Music artist Jimmy Wayne was on hand during the Festival to help collect instruments in the Dr Pepper®-McDonald's® Family Zone.
"I want to say 'Thanks' to everyone who braved the heat Thursday to come downtown and donate their band instruments to the Nashville Alliance for Public Education," Wayne said. "I know they will be put to good use by the kids who benefit from them. And there's still time for those who maybe couldn't get off work to make a difference in a child's life. Get those instruments out, shine 'em up, and bring them on over to one of my favorite places in the world – the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum."
The research-based evidence shows that a greater emphasis on the visual and performing arts in education is important for boosting academic performance and engaging students in the learning environment. Plus, local statistics show that 98.7 percent of students who participate in school arts programs go on to graduate. At a time when school budgets are being cut, it is tempting to write off the importance of music education, especially when a new flute costs roughly $200 or more than $6,000 for a performance quality bassoon.
"This is a great opportunity for people in our community to support music education and our children," said Garrett. "Now is the time to 'Be Instrumental' in the life of a child."

Tantrums – Tips
I'm not claiming to be an expert on tantrums. One thing I do have is experience and unfortunately lots of it. My eldest had amazing tantrums. To give you an idea of the scale, he once had one outside a 'Boots' shop so bad that staff were coming outside to see what all the noise was about and were greeted with a screaming 2 year old, rolling around on the floor in the leaves! With this 'years' of experience I have learnt some facts and tips on dealing with them. Tantrums are not your child misbehaving. They are dealing with the…View Post

The Beer Commercial
The basic characteristics of 90 percent of all beer commercials presume that everyone buying the product is socially, politically, intellectually and uniformly retarded. First off and most obvious: a lifestyle is offered that is unattainable, illogical and impossible. The advertisers also assume that women never drink alcohol, especially beer, and therefore are only represented stereotypically in contrast to the douche bag men in these commercials. Thirdly, and most importantly, the creators of these ignorant pieces corporate propaganda figure that for every three slightly-bearded, laid-back, twenty-something year-old white dudes there is one (and no more than one!) anglicized, white-bred, less important black guy.
To reinforce my most evident contention: there is in no way a connection between drinking a certain brand of beer and having intercourse with attractive women. There is, however, a connection between intense intoxication and sexual interaction of various degrees. You may find yourself penetrating a random orifice of some kind if you consume a high level of booze but that does not mean it's anything to be proud of and/or are able/want to remember the next morning. There are no "Captain's Moments" or "Bud Rules" to attracting the opposite sex. For god's sake, a guy gets a girl's # on a goddamn napkin in a current Budweiser commercial! A napkin? What year is this, 1970? You might as well not worry about the AIDS virus or stagflation if you're going to regard this commercial as anything less than insulting to your intelligence on primal level.
Even worse than the above is the Coors Light commercials (I'm off Coors). What the fuck is the "Coors Light Mystery Mansion?" I am assuming from the conspicuous clues I've seen it is a brothel with willing prepaid prostitutes sponsored by the Coors company and if it is anything less than that anyone who wins an invite would likely demand fellatio performed upon them forthwith based on the impressions given in the ads. And Coors's other big promotion or slogan is that it is somehow "colder" than other beers. How the fuck can it be colder? That doesn't make sense – they're all from the flipping fridge! It's brewed in a colder place? Who gives a shit? Is it a superhero beer incapable of getting below a certain degree centigrade? Shut the fuck up.
Now let's discuss the social ignorance of major brewing companies. According to most alcohol commercials women are magical little hot fairies that appear when you order a drink at bar. They're just there for our amusement and they're all incredibly attractive. If this were true I'd be fucking hammered right now. And of course there is the courtesy black guy. This is the house-negro that smiles when his white friend is able to cleverly impress a girl because of the confidence empowered in him by a certain brand of alcohol. Of course every three white guys has one black friend that dresses in white-people garb and gives us a thumbs up whenever we have sex and he doesn't. I aspire for a day when companies reach the level of still-ignorant, money-driven political incorrectness when an Asian guy, a brown guy & a guy in wheelchair all appear one-to-four with middle-class adult white males in corporate advertising.
If we are to at all slow down the wholesale of this bullshit, incompetently broadcast, racist, sexist and insulting fantasy world we must simply do the opposite of what these ads want us to do. Please, stop buying their shit. If you think a commercial is stupid don't put down your semi-hard-earned flow for that subpar product. They're insulting your intelligence and you willingly and knowingly became a dumber person every time you consume that which you are told to consume.

Oh my gosh Shane I love this piece. Every single time I watch an effing commercial I think, do these idiot execs really think people buy into these stupid stereotypes? But the scary thing is if the consumer actually does. Like every single commercial geared at Canadians features hockey. I love hockey but it gets inslulting when not just the usual Tim Hortons but clothing and banking ads constantly make reference to it. Or the token minority!!! I could go on for days about that. Not the race card, just how fucking retarded it seems to normal people that have met a person of a different ethnicity in their lifetime and from that tiny interaction can see how off the mark these supposed marketing experts are!! But beer commercials. I gues every guy that likes to drink beer is a douchie white guy who doesn't shave and is always trying to lie to his girlfriend to get out from under her nagging ass to drink with the boys.

A Good Buying Opportunity?
Gold has been on a tear the past year or two, reaching highs not seen in decades. However, in the past month, it has plummeted from $730/ounce to about $560, including a 7 percent drop in price today. Silver, platinum, and palladium are doing similar things.
Is now one of those "dips" that present a good buying opportunity? I think so. The Federal Reserve is still committed to a policy of systematically devaluing the currency, so in the long run, that only makes gold, as a hedge against inflation, look more attractive.

The controversy over Law Professor Todd Henderson's "We are the Super Rich" blog entry, posted and then withdrawn from Truth on the Market (Sept. 15, 2010), misses how current marriage tax policy divides the not-so-rich to the benefit of the very rich. See Whiny Law Prof Quits Blogging After Lament for Rich People.
Henderson cites the burdensome expenses of his dual-income family to argue for preserving regressive tax cuts for the super-rich. On the other hand, some vitriolic attackers trivialize the burdens of these expenses simply because his family is not as squeezed as most.
Henderson complains that his married status means both particularly high taxes, but also particularly high expenses. He and his physician wife face high student loan debt; high child care costs and domestic service expenses, along with the costs of two cars. He argues that Obama's proposed tax increase on those "super-rich" taxpayers with income over $250,000 would mean cutting some expenses needed to support his family's income, not to mention the income of their service providers.
In fact, his tax burdens come not from his "marital status," but more precisely, from his dual-income marriage. Henderson and his wife should not be taxed jointly the same as (for instance) one person earning $300,000 (married or unmarried) because neither he nor his wife individually earns that much. A married breadwinner-homemaker couple with the same income as Henderson's but only one income earner typically would be in a different, less sympathetic situation. For the affluent one-earner marriage, the extra $10,000 in taxes that Henderson worries would force cuts in lawn-mowing and housecleaning services likely would mean not less income but less time for leisure activities like playing golf, or perhaps for blogging about wasteful government spending on the poor.
Henderson and his wife (and the much less rich middle class) should be taxed individually, AND with individual tax rates – as well as government spending –designed to give more support for the high costs of successful income-earning (such as higher education and child care). We need to eliminate what I call the "affluent husband care" subsidy – the marriage-based tax break, which uses gendered, raced, and heterosexualized ideas about homemaking spouses to make it seem like middle-class taxpayers are squeezed because the tax code is too progressive rather than not progressive enough. I've discussed this issue further in Taxing Family Work: Aid for Affluent Husband Care, forthcoming in the Columbia Journal of Gender and the Law, draft downloadable from http://works.bepress.com/martha_mccluskey/1/.

I haven't slept much in three days.
My insomnia has increased and I am lucky if I can get three solid hours a night. I can't fall asleep (it takes HOURS) and when the slightest thing wakes me up….we start the whole process over again. (and again….and again….)
After three straight days of this, the fact that I can even work my computer to write a nonsensical blog (Because I am pretty sure that is what you are getting with today's entry) is a miracle.
After hitting snooze until multiple times this morning, my six year old showed up in my room and started poking me in the face.
"Mommy…. Mommy….I love you mommy….Wake up…."
Poke. Poke. Poke.
I crack an eye open and I see this angelic, happy face smiling down on me. I shove my face into my pillow.
"Good morning Mommy!"
"Oh Mommy you're so funny!"
(Yeah I'm a riot at 7:45am)
I finally lift my head and manage to say.
"Love you to. Now go wake your sister. I will get up….eventually….."
(Look at the clock)
CRAP! I'm up. I'm up!
(I yell as throw on my bathrobe, only to miss the door and walk into the wall)
I managed to make the kids breakfast.
(Cereal a'la MILK)
I'm running late and realize I am under the gun to make lunch, shower and get ready…annnnnd we are out of bread.
In total panic mode I run around looking for something I can quickly make and send.
I turn the oven on. Toss some taquitos on a baking sheet, stuff them into the oven and run to take the fastest shower on record.
Get dressed. Dry my hair. Run into the kitchen and pull the taquitos out to cool.
"Hey Mom! We don't need lunches today! It's Pita Day at school!"
Crap on a cracker! Why didn't you tell me this earlier???
(Guess what they're having for dinner!!)
After all that, I finally get them off to school bus with three minutes to spare.
I made my way to the mall.
Oh I was not in the mood for the Mall but Christmas is coming and if I procrastinate anymore there will be IOU's under the tree and gifts will be purchased on Boxing Day.
Time is a-tickin'!
I had a couple of panic attacks, but they were mild so I pushed on. Eyes to the ground, in and out of stores… I managed to complete the rest of my Christmas shopping in an hour. (With only a 'few' impulse buys for myself….)
I was pretty impressed with myself. I only bit one persons head off, some guy who was creepily hitting on me in a children's clothing store (Men that is never a good pick up spot…especially with married women buying clothes for their kids)
I'm at home now.
Can't nap. Sleep still eludes me.
My dog Otis is a maniac today. He keeps trying to play with me, so we play but I only have so much energy to spare. (I'm currently in power save mode and he has enough energy to power an entire country)
He wants to play our chasing game and I'm like "No, get your ball… " (I think I can still manage to throw it) If only he would go run around outside and burn off some steam, but with that frigid arctic air, he is NOT the slightest bit interested in the great outdoors today. I even tried running out there to convince him to follow me but Otis gave me this look like "Crazy human-It ain't happening!"
I don't blame him for not wanting to go out in that cold, but if he pees on the carpet or Christmas tree, he and I will have words.
So here we are. I am writing this ridiculously boring blog entry about nothing- all the while ignoring the housework which I am currently trying to summon the energy to do.
(Will it be found in this second cup of coffee?)
I really wish I had Super Powers and could accomplish the rest of my to-do list, but no. As I write this, I realize the rest of what gets done today will be a half-ass attempt.
AND I am going to own that!
I can picture it now:
"Honey why didn't the dishes get done today?"
"Because I managed to keep the kids and dog alive, finished my Christmas shopping, made the beds, watched Netflix and took this AMAZING selfie….all while half asleep! HIGH FIVE!!"
Superwomen I am NOT!

If you've been reading here for a while you know I have terrible lung function. The slightest perfume or strong fragrance will send me into a horrible asthma attack. Because of that I use unscented products…which are often hard to come by. It seems like everything has to have a gallon of perfume in it. Really people…do you think you smell that bad?
So…I decided to try to make my own unscented liquid hand soap…using a bar of soap / some water and glycerin. Recipe at the end of post.
I used this unscented goats milk soap.
Two bars of grated soap.
Water brought to a boil.
Grated soap added to boiling water and stirred til dissolved.
It gets all sudsy and then settles down as it cools.
Overnight it sets up kind of jelly like. See where I made a finger indention?
New immersion blender. The pic doesn't show the true color. It's 50's diner blue and was part of something called the Americana Series.
Looks all sudsy as you're blending the 'jelly'…
…but smooths out once it's all blended.
I was very impressed with this and I LOVE the goats milk soap.
Mama L walked thru the kitchen as I was making this and asked 'How's it going, Granny Clampet?'…thus the post title. 🙂 Anyone not familiar with The Beverly Hillbillies…Granny C used to brew up her goats milk soap out by the mansion pool.
Side thought…if any of Mama L's side of the fam is reading this…do y'all remember when we'd stay with Meme in the summer when she had that big quilting frame hanging from the ceiling? We'd play under that thing all day long…like it was a tent…while watching The Hillbillies / The Munsters / Adams Fam and Father Knows Best reruns on TBS / WGN. Every time I see those shows today I think about playing under that quilting frame…watching old black and white tv while she quilted. Some of my favorite non-cooking memories. 🙂
Anyway back to the soap…it turned out I didn't need the glycerin. My bar of soap already had a good amount of glycerin and adding additional made the test batch too oily. If you can handle it you can add essential oils to this. Tea Tree oil is recommended for it's antibacterial properties.
With the gallon of water and two bars of soap I was able to make a gallon of hand soap for around $2.75.
If you've ever had to purchase unscented body products you know what an amazing deal that is.
Cost aside…I loved this and will keep making it as long as I can find the soap. 🙂
Have a nice weekend. 🙂
Liquid Hand Soap
1 Gallon Water
2 (5 oz) bars of Soap
2 tbsp Glycerin (use ONLY if your soap doesn't already contain it)
Bring water to a boil.
Grate soap.
Add grated soap to boiling water and stir til dissolved. Move it off the burner once the grated soap stops clumping.
If using glycerin or scents…add them now.
Let mixture come to room temp and then cover and let sit overnight or until it completely sets up.
Use a hand mixer or immersion blender to blend to a smooth liquid.
Pour into bottle(s) and store in a cool area of your house.
Every soap will react differently…depending on it's ingredients…but the texture of this soap produced a liquid that is kind of like Aveeno Body Wash. It's thick and kind of goop-y but I've got it in a mason jar with a pump and it pumps out perfectly. So it's not too thick to pump.

Home is where the heart is. And to protect our homes, where we ground our families, possessions and basically our entire life, is one of the most basic instincts we have. Keeping in spirit with this instinct, insuring your home is a smart and safe choice which can save a lot of your cash in case of a misfortunate accident. While most people do opt to get their homes insured, they often don't read the policies properly or misunderstand the benefits being provided to them. What is most important to read and understand is the coverage and exclusions plan, as this will avoid any future conflicts between you and the company.
What you choose to insure and for how long depends on the plans you choose, but even then your home insurance cannot include everything and most people fail to realize that. Here is a basic run down of what is and isn't covered by your home insurance:
A good home insurance policy should cover the following:
Coverage exclusions vary from policy to policy but most companies do not provide claim for the following:
It is essential to talk to your insurance company to verify all the things that are applicable for coverage under the plan you've chosen. And if you wish to extend your financial protection to your valuables or baggage while traveling, you can always avail add-on coverage by paying just a little more.

We just got the boy an awesome new bike, which meant it was time to pass his old one down to the girl.
Anabel is one of the biggest tomboys I've seen, but the girl LOVES pink. And glitter. There was no way she would ride her brother's red bike.
Spray paint to the rescue!
But first, I had to disassemble the bike.
I love taking things apart. It's easy. It's fun. It takes practically no skill.
The big problem is when it's time to put everything back together.
I've got a little tip on how to make the process easier.
Take pictures of each step.
More specifically, take pictures of how everything fits together.
When it's time to reassemble, all you have to do is look at the picture and you know exactly what pieces you need and what order to put them together.
Voila. Pink bike.
And the cutest little trick rider you ever did see.
I'm also linking up with Allison at It's Toile Good

With its A-list cast and big studio backing, Intolerable Cruelty might just be the most mainstream film the Coen Brothers have made yet.
For all its commercial leanings, it still boasts many of the siblings' offbeat trademarks, with its odd characters and snappy script.
Yet it is a gentler film, taking its cue from old-fashioned romantic comedies rather than from the violent film noir that seems to inspire much of their work.
It is, in short, that rare thing - a Coen Brothers movie you can take your granny to without fear of causing offence.
Clooney stars as hard-boiled divorce lawyer Miles Massey, who is not above using questionable methods to help his clients win big settlements.
But he meets his match in Marilyn Rexroth (Zeta Jones), the soon-to-be-ex wife of his newest client.
He quickly sizes her up as a gold-digger, but still cannot help falling for her charms - and soon it is his own financial stability that is at stake, to say nothing of his sanity.
Ultimately this is Clooney's film. As with O Brother, the Coens seem to bring out the best in him, and he is perfect as the weaselly Massey. And he is ably supported by the likes of Billy Bob Thornton and Geoffrey Rush in bit parts.
But as frothy and enjoyable as it is, this is not up to the standard of other Coen brothers films.
Several parts - in particular an ending which feels false and belies all the nicely dark humour which goes before it - feel like the work of studio intervention rather than a pair of maverick filmmakers at the height of their powers.
That said, even a below-par Coen Brothers film is a good deal better than most mainstream Hollywood fare. And that alone makes it worth seeing.
The Coen Brothers is released in the UK on Friday.
So what did you think? Is it as good as their previous efforts? Or are they in danger of selling out?
Tell us what you think using the form below.
This film is every bit as good as any of the Coen brothers previous efforts, the fact that it is a little less quirky does not equal a lack of depth and intelligence. The Coen brothers and Clooney are entertainers and always have been. Sell out? They sold millions! A great, funny film. Steve Dean, UK
Clooney was parodying Cary Grant way too much. He was out acted by Zeta Jones for once!! A good watch for a rainy sunday afternoon on TV enjoyable but not for the big screen. Lynda Johnson, UK
I had free tickets to a preview of Intolerable Cruelty last weekend and I really only went because it was free and I was free. I am not a great fan of George Clooney or Catherine Zeta Jones and I have never been drawn to the Coen brother's other offerings.
That said then, this film was a pleasant surprise. It is stylishly done and very, very funny. The characters are all fascinatingly obnoxious, if slightly unbelievable, and there are really no dull moments, with the plot taking several unexpected twists. At one point the lawyer, played by Clooney, appears to be indulging in the sort of patronising, sentimental lecturing that often ruins American films; only for the whole situation to turn uproariously on its head a few moments later.
This is the first film in a long time that I can recommend to my friends AND my mother and be sure that they will all enjoy. Rob Walpole, UK
Painful watching Catherine Zeta Jones ruin a potentially good script, impersonating a smug Persian cat. Sarah Woolley, UK
Having been a huge Coen Brothers fan for years, I was really looking forward to this film. I knew that it was going to be mainstream, and it was pretty much as I expected from what I saw of the trailers.
Clooney is very good (probably the best I've ever seen him) and Zeta Jones does her job fine, but there's definitely something missing. It lacks the weirdness and quirkiness of all the other Coen bros films and is way too predictable in parts. It is funny, but not laugh-out-loud funny, as I had hoped.
Having said that, I still really enjoyed it, and is probably the best romantic comedy I've seen for a while (except for Punch-Drunk Love). Chris, UK
Selling out ? If you mean the ending, maybe; but then what can one expect from a film made for US mass market. Otherwise hugely enjoyable. Very funny and the best Clooney so far. Xtoph, D
Very funny, very entertaining. Great performances by all, except Zeta Jones. She's very gorgeous and all that, but dull as ditchwater in what could be a great role. Any number of other actresses would have played it far better than her. Dave, UK
George CLooney proves again that he has a real flair for comedy. Another wonderfully repellent character. A welcome return to a Coen Bros. film after Oh Brother Where Art Thou. There is a nice relationship between GC and Catherine Zeta Jones and there is a slight question left in the air. Excellent perfomances too from Geoffrey Rush and Billy Bob Thornton. I don't often laugh out loud but I did this time. Susan, UK
Two pretty people with no chemistry. Love George but would like to see him opposite someone more real. Good movie premise but it didn't wow me. Kate, UK
What have they done to George? He looks awful. Can't stand CZJ. They should have cast someone else. The film is just okay. Someday, I'd love to see George Clooney and Sandra Bullock in a film together. I think there'd be some real chemistry there. Fiona, UK
Okay, not classic Coen Bros ( whatever that is), but some of the sharpest dialogue you will hear in the cinema (probably anywhere for that matter) this week.
And don't let CZ-J put you off, and I speak as someone who can't stand the woman, she's not half bad in this.
A lot of fun if you're prepared to just accept it for what it is - entertainment, plain and simple. Britsh film director, England
Once again the Brothers Coen are putting their distinctive stamp on a genre - in this case, the screwball rmantic comedy - and presenting us with a unique bag of twists. Enjoyable - but the performer who should be truly singled out for praise is Edward Heermann. The actor has matured into a wonderful character actor and he plays his role like an updated version of Ralph Bellamy. Robert del Valle, USA

Took almost 100 photos tonight…complete with the taped numbers gradually peeling off as the game went on LOL
Atlanta arrived for the game without jereseys (they played in Team Canada Hockey t-shirts with athletic tape on the back and unmatching shorts) but played hard and kept to close for 3 and a half quarters. Halifax pulled away in the fourth and made the score look higher than it was. I get the feeling that Atlanta tend to run out of gas in the fourth as that's where Vermont really pulled ahead, too. The boxscore is online now, and my thoughts are after the jump.
– Atlanta's coach is a pretty awesome dude. Really friendly, really appreciative of everything (the hotel, the arena, the hospitality, even the fans heckling them) and a passionate guy without being over the top. He also did something no team has done yet: TRAP THE PICK AND ROLL. I can't for the life of me figure out why more teams don't do this against teams that run the offense out of a pick and roll, it throws timing off completely. Halifax have a good method of breaking this – it's call Brian Silverhorn and it resulted in 35 points.
– No official word on attendance but my guess would be around 3,000. Great crowd, lots of energy.
– Silverhorn is catching fire – 35 points including 7-9 from beyond the arc tonight.
– Crookshank had another great game: 29 pts, 12 rebounnds and 7 assists. Atlanta just have no answer for him down low, and he's back on fire when it comes to cleaning up misses.
– Pop quiz: Who took the most shots tonight on the Rainmen? Was it Silverhorn who was lighting it up all over the court? Our go to offensive option, Crookshank? Was it Akeem the Dream who is the new sharpshooter? Nope. It was Blandon Ferguson who was 7-21. The guy just takes too many jumpers. He has a role on the team, he is the only one willing to slash, but sometimes he gets jump shot happy and it can just kill momentum. Lewis needs to get him to gear down.
– The Clark Brothers both had great games. I love having them as additions to the team. Jon was 5/6 and gave Halifax an inside presence when Crookshanks was on the bench. The guy is a great post player who works hard and plays tough defense against the other team's best big to keep Eric out of foul trouble. Akeem shot the lights out: 5-6 from beyond the arc and 17 points in 16 minutes. He adds a second deep threat, but what I like most is his defense. He hustles back to control opposition transition offenses and switches well. Great players.
– KD had five blocks, but the defensive play of the game came from Jimmy Twyman. Atlanta got a steal in their own back court and an Atlanta player thought he was wide open for a dunk. Jimmy trailed a second player to stop the pass and lined up for a block. The Atlanta player went for a big one handed dunk and Jimmy blocked him 11 feet in the air. It was spectacular because everyone just assumed an easy basket. I get the feeling that Jimmy will be starting come play off time.
– I honestly think that Halifax can do some real damage in the ABA play offs. In the NBA playoffs teams with consistant and efficient halfcourt offenses and lock down, grind it out defenses win because of the long play off series. Every year in the NCAA tournament some 12-16 seed comes out of nowwhere and wins 3 games because they can shoot the lights out, score in transition and have one or two guys who can cause match up problems and can just get hot because you only need to win one game to advance. The Rainmen are the latter team. Would I bet on them winning it all? No way. But if the games aren't fixed (big if to be honest) I can see Halifax getting deep and being capable of beating any team. They have bigs who can match up on D and they have match up problems all over their line up for teams. We will see how it goes.

A report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) details
failings by the military in providing treatment for substance
use disorders (SUDs) for troops and veterans.
The 351-page, heavily footnoted report, "Substance
Use Disorders in the U.S. Armed Forces," says that there
are access problems, particularly for members of the
Reserves and the National Guard who have constituted
so many of the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It also says that the system discourages troops from
seeking treatment because they are afraid of discipline,
and that certified counselors don't have the
training required to help this population due to the
high prevalence of co-occurring SUDs and mental
illness. Finally, the report charges that the military approach
to alcohol problems is very different — "disconcertingly"
so — from its approach to problems with
other drugs, with little effort to prevent alcohol use
disorders or to utilize screening and brief intervention
for drinking. Rather, the culture is one that promotes
The report, released September 17, came from the
Committee on Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment and
Management of Substance Use Disorders in the U.S.
Armed Forces. The Department of Defense (DoD)
asked the IOM to look at the treatment system in each
of the branches: Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine
The problem of alcohol and drug abuse is not only a
health problem for troops; it's also a readiness problem
for the military. The report looked not only at
active duty service members (who are covered by Tricare),
but also at members of the National Guard and
Reserves, and at military dependents.
The report found that SUD treatment is usually provided
in inpatient settings, which is not the "standard of
practice in modern SUD treatment." Instead, the report
said, treatment continuity and the amount of time
someone is in outpatient treatment is "more important
than the provision of care in residential settings." The
IOM cites its own 2006 report to back up these claims.
There was sharp criticism of the military for not providing
access to medication-assisted treatment, including
with agonists like methadone and buprenorphine.
And there is little integration of SUD treatment into
primary care.
The VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for Management
of Substance Use Disorders issued in 2009 is an
"excellent guide," but it is not being used systematically,
the report said.
Each branch operates its SUD services without being
accountable to DoD, the report found recommending
that DoD "acknowledge that the current levels of substance
use and misuse among military personnel and
their dependents constitute a public health crisis."
The report also said that the military had to use only
licensed providers (such as psychologists and psychiatrists)
and that while "individuals certified as alcohol
and drug counselors remain a key component of the
civilian workforce treating SUDs, their role is increasingly
limited and in the near future may disappear."
Organizations representing certified counselors reacted
to that statement. "We have been getting more
and more master-level civilians within and outside of
the U.S. who state they are being encouraged or required
to obtain the MAC," said Shirley Beckett Mikell,
who is in charge of the certification program run by
NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals.
On average, there have been 10 new applicants for the
MAC (Master Addiction Counselor) credential, which
has been administered by NAADAC since February of
this year. More than one-half have been from foreign
bases, she said.
And from the federal advocate for the IC&RC: "IC&RC
commends the IOM for this undertaking," said Andrew
Kessler, principal with Slingshot Solutions. "But we are
confused by some of the conclusions about the workforce.
Any counselor trained by the Navy at their facility
in San Diego has to pass an IC&RC exam." The exams
are updated every three to four years, he said.
