Don is on emotional overload due to the time he has spent with Rosie in New York. Don now knows that showing the sexual positions book to Rosie in her hotel room was not the right thing to do. Rosie had been wearing only a towel and they had kissed so the book was not necessary at the time. Don tries to analyze his behavior and comes up with three theories: he was afraid he could not perform sexually, he did not have a condom, and he could not deal with the emotional consequences.
When Don returns to Australia, he has dinner with Gene and Claudia and they are more interested in how the time went with Rosie instead of where he went and what he saw in New York.
One day Gene approaches Don in the University Club dining room and questions...

This spring, Ms. Tanya, Level 2's music director, asked her choristers:
"How was your year in chorus?"
The replies she received are amazing, heart-warming, insightful, and thoughts to be cherished forever! Enjoy reading what being in chorus has meant to these children!
I love music! I can't say I only liked a COUPLE things. I like EVERYTHING!!! I hope I can come next year. My favorite FAVORITE parts were singing in different languages and playing the dancing/singing games.
My experience here at Level 2 in Contra Costa Children's Chorus is a wonderful one! Miss Tanya is very kind and she's very clear when she is giving directions. All of the people are nice here too. I have lots of friends and it's a happy place to be.
In Level 2 I feel I'm a level higher but level 2 is also very good. One of my favorite songs is "The Singing Bird." (I had it memorized.) I also liked meeting new friends (I'm very watchful). The last thing that I liked is my teacher. (Very funny, smart, and other good reasons too.) This is my experience of Level 2.
I learned what a staff is and the notes on the staff like FACE, GB and D. Also I learned to open your mouth up and down to hit higher notes. Also I learned new songs and all most all of them! The real thing I like about Level 2 is because of my teacher because she is sooo funny. That is why I like Level 2.
In Level 2 my favorite dance is "My Paddle's Keen and Bright." My favorite song from the Earth Day Concert is "Crawdad Hole." In Level 2 I learned all about notes and how many beats the notes make. In Level 2 I also learned how Mrs. Tanya always stays on topic, and never lets a wrong note fly. I also learned how determined some people in chorus can be. I have never thought about music in the ways I have learned in Level 2. Thank you Mrs. Tanya!
My favorite experience was after the winter concert. It is that, because when I got off the stage I could see that we were all there and had an awesome time singing. I also liked that everyone was cheering for us.
Dear hwo is reading this, This has been a dream come true to learn how to sing better. I also like singing in a grupe and as a team. This smester I sherly learned more than I did before thanks to you. Your student…
Level 2 is cool. Ms. Tanya is funny and stcit at the same time! But, level two is still cool. So, I think I will be in corus for a long time!
I really liked Level 2 because I learned new songs. But my favorite is the Dolphin Song. I like the Dolphin Song because I am good at it in pitch…sort of. But I did memorize it and I like dolphins and I learned a lot about dolphins from the Dolphin Song. I also liked the Derby Ram and La Ranita. I have very good friends in chorus. I really liked the Christmas conserts. ( I am not sure I spelled it correctly.)
My Experience: I really enjoy learning, although I wish to learn more complex things. My favorite song was "Dolphin Song" because I am learning about dolphins in class and they are really intelligent. I enjoyed every single bit of choir. I enjoyed learning funny songs.
I learned a lot from Level 2 this year. I learned how to control my voice, to sing soft or hard when I need to, or how to sing without hurting my vocal cores, and much more. I really think Ms. Tanya is a good teacher. She is fun, caring, hilarious, enthusiastic, and chooses the best songs, that are good for us. She also knows dicipline, and knows mischief when she sees it. I am not ready to go to Level 3 yet.
My year has been great. I have learned a lot and picked up things that I didn't pick up last year. You have been a great teacher. As a benefit, I can answer a lot of questions the teachers ask. I think I have made it clear that my past three years especially this year, have been great opportunities for me to learn new stuff.
I had a lot of fun singing in Level 2 and I also made a lot of friends.
Below are testimonials from some of our broader community of friends, family and community.
CCCC taught me more than musical skill (though it definitely taught me that).
It taught me things that were much more wide-reaching: diligence, dedication, time management, organization, leadership, cooperation, friendship, and the value of hard work. And I must admit that when I sat down to write my personal statement for my graduate school applications, I found myself reflecting on my time in CCCC, even though I graduated from it 5 years ago. I also found myself writing about my exposure to various cultures and the amount of time and effort it took to master a musical piece for international tours. And while none of this directly relates to my field of study, the lessons I learned as a chorister absolutely translate into my success now
We want to thank you for making tough choices, your vision, leadership, opportunities, and your unbelievable energy.
I couldn't believe it when my daughter came to me and said, 'Mom, I will never forget the feeling of excitement and pride I felt when we went on stage at Carnegie Hall! The challenging music and long rehearsals made us better than all the rest!' We firmly embrace the vision you so capably champion. We appreciate what you give every member of CCCC.
One of the most remarkable performances of any choir of any age I've ever heard.
Their sound is remarkably professional.
These children capture the audience's hearts with their brilliant performance skills.
I have the time of my life working with Contra Costa Children's Chorus.
Their rigorous training, which enables them to learn at an astonishing speed, is combined with as ability for creative and independent thinking – something that very few choirs ever encourage. There are many highly trained groups whose sound, however polished, puts me to sleep; but whenever Contra Costa sings, something really happens. I say their training and the emotional commitment in performance make them a global role model for choirs of all ages.
My association with Contra Costa Children's Chorus will always be one of my most satisfying musical experiences.
One cannot be directly associated with this organization without being caught up in their pride of accomplishment and joy of participation. This community is indeed fortunate to be represented by CCCC and to share in its artistic accomplishments. I will always be grateful and honored to have my name associated with Contra Costa Children's Chorus.
CCCC helps me be truly myself.
"Learning to be self-disciplined has helped me with school and athletics. I swim, play baseball, volleyball, basketball and best of all…I sing!"
I appreciate your insistence on excellence as does my daughter, who has remarked several times and in different ways, that the hard work and high quality are connected and worth the effort!
It was Exquisitely done.
Like beautiful pearls one after another. The innocence of the voices …The voices of the children were haunting…this was the most perfect performance of this piece I think that will ever be done. It takes a great conductor to "let" a performance come through. It was effortlessly powerful. I cannot thank you all enough for your respect and reverence towards these beloved firefighters.

Ezra Taft Benson Quotes About Jesus ChristQuotes about: Jesus Christ
Our families may be corrupted by worldly trends and teachings unless we know how to use the [Book of Mormon] to expose and combat the falsehoods in socialism, organic evolution, rationalism, humanism, and so forth.…And our nation will continue to degenerate unless we read and heed the words of the God of this land, Jesus Christ, and quit building up and upholding the secret combinations which the Book of Mormon tells us proved the downfall of both previous American civilizations.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints proclaims that Jesus Christ is the Son of God in the most literal sense. The body in which He performed His mission in the flesh was sired by that some Holy Being we worship as God, our Eternal Father. Jesus was not the son of Joseph, nor was He begotten by the Holy Ghost.
I counsel you, in the words of Jesus Christ, to "watch and pray I always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat" (3 Nephi 18:18). If you will earnestly seek guidance from your Heavenly Father, morning and evening, you will be given the strength to shun any temptation.
The Book of Mormon contains the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ (D&C 20:9). That does not mean it contains every teaching, every doctrine ever revealed. Rather, it means that in the Book of Mormon we will find the fulness of those doctrines required for our salvation. And they are taught plainly and simply so that even children can learn the ways of salvation and exaltation.
The man [who] is greatest and most blessed and joyful [is one] whose life most closely approaches the pattern of Christ. This has nothing to do with earthly wealth, power, or prestige. The only true test of greatness, blessedness, joyfulness is how close can a life come to being like the Master, Jesus Christ. He is the right way, the full truth, and the abundant life.

Discussion in 'NDS - Flashcarts and Accessories' started by owlman, Jul 25, 2006.
if so, how long did your stuff take to arrive to your residence?
I've ordered from them before, took about 3-4 days. They're fine.
awesome thanks
I ordered the M3 and passcard 3 and got them I'd say in 2 days.
I paid for priority mail. They are located in NJ.
Both items work perfectly.
I would suggest if you need a memory card , go to newegg.com
They have 3 day shipping and great prices.
I bought a transcent 2gb mini-sd from them and it works perfectly.
It took about 2 days for my M3 MiniSD+Passcard to arrive, they're quick. It helps that I paid priority and live close to NJ.
For a memory card, I'd check out www.supermediastore.com and have a look, they're generally cheaper than NewEgg.
I picked up a 2gig AData MiniSD+USB Adapter for $60 plus shipping.

DEALBOOK; Mall Owner's Restructuring Is Approved
By MICHAEL J. de la MERCED
Published: October 22, 2010
A Manhattan federal judge on Thursday confirmed a reorganization plan for General Growth Properties, capping one of the biggest and most complicated commercial real estate bankruptcy cases on record.
The company expects to emerge by about Nov. 8.
General Growth, a mall developer and owner whose properties include South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan and Faneuil Hall in Boston, filed for Chapter 11 protection last year as it struggled with debt it took on for its acquisition of the Rouse Company in 2004.
In the 19 months since it filed for bankruptcy, it has sorted through $15 billion worth of complex commercial mortgages, negotiating new terms and extensions of their due dates. General Growth also successfully fended off unsolicited takeover bids from its biggest rival, the Simon Property Group.
Under its emergence plan, General Growth will split into two publicly traded companies, and its shareholders will receive stock in both. Most of its malls - 183 complexes in 43 states - will be held within a company called General Growth Properties.
The planned-communities business and an assortment of lower-valued properties like South Street Seaport will go into a smaller company, the Howard Hughes Corporation. The hedge fund manager William A. Ackman will be the chairman of that company.
General Growth also has secured $6.8 billion worth of equity commitments from another developer, Brookfield Asset Management and investors like Mr. Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management and Fairholme Capital Management.
''The confirmation of our plan is an important milestone as we lay the groundwork for a successful future,'' Adam Metz, General Growth's chief executive, said in a statement . ''We are now prepared to begin a new era for G.G.P. on firm financial footing.'' All General Growth creditors are expected to be paid in full, and existing shareholders have shared in the recovery - a relative rarity in Chapter 11.
The company has been advised by UBS, Miller Buckfire and the law firms Weil, Gotshal & Manges and Kirkland & Ellis.

Researcher Dr. Robert Gaunt prepares Nathan Copeland for sensory testing, where Nathan feels his fingers through the mind-controlled robotic arm.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 13, 2016 – Imagine being in an accident that leaves you unable to feel any sensation in your arms and fingers. Now imagine regaining that sensation, a decade later, through a mind-controlled robotic arm that is directly connected to your brain.
That is what 28-year-old Nathan Copeland experienced after he came out of brain surgery and was connected to the Brain Computer Interface (BCI), developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC. In a study published online today in Science Translational Medicine, a team of experts led by Robert Gaunt, Ph.D., assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Pitt, demonstrated for the first time ever in humans a technology that allows Mr. Copeland to experience the sensation of touch through a robotic arm that he controls with his brain.
"The most important result in this study is that microstimulation of sensory cortex can elicit natural sensation instead of tingling," said study co-author Andrew B. Schwartz, Ph.D., distinguished professor of neurobiology and chair in systems neuroscience, Pitt School of Medicine, and a member of the University of Pittsburgh Brain Institute. "This stimulation is safe, and the evoked sensations are stable over months. There is still a lot of research that needs to be carried out to better understand the stimulation patterns needed to help patients make better movements."

Honey, the Dodgers Are Coming Over
What happens when you move to your team's hometown.
One afternoon a couple of months ago, I was getting ready to go pick up my son from preschool when the phone rang. It was a producer friend of mine, a wonderful woman who's been supportive of my quixotic efforts to make a dime in this town. Her husband's mother also just happens to be an original Dodger Stadium season-ticket holder. They own eight seats, 27 games a year, right behind the home dugout.
"Do you want to go to the game tonight? I've got four tickets."
"Do I? Do I? Yes!!!! It's just that my kid … and … I've got …."
"I thought of you first because I know you're a big fan."
There were some plans for that night, but they'd have to be canceled. I arranged to take my wife, my son, and my son's best friend, a 3-year-old who's the biggest Dodger fan I know other than myself. Anyone who's ever taken two 3-year-olds to a baseball game will agree that it's hardly the ideal circumstance. I ended up, as I knew I would, spending the fifth and sixth innings with the kids running around the concession area, roaring, while I pretended to be a bear. But come on! Who cares? It's the Dodgers!
The Dodgers were my team growing up in suburban Phoenix. Those years, 1977 to 1988, were comfortable ones in Dodgerland. We almost always fielded a winning team, went to the playoffs more often than not, and enjoyed Fernandomania. I'd just headed off to college when Kirk Gibson hit his miracle shot to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. That homer felt like the ultimate return on a long boyhood of bleeding blue.
Eighteen years passed, and the Dodgers declined. During this period, the team won only one playoff contest, a 2004 complete-game effort by a pitcher whose biggest contribution that season had been singing the national anthem. I lived thousands of miles east, and my connection dissipated. I cheated on the team for years with the Cubs. I even had a brief, sordid dalliance with the Phillies.
Then this January, I moved. For the first time in nearly 30 years as a Dodger fan, I would actually be in L.A. Despite the fact that Frank and Jamie McCourt, the Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos of baseball, now own the Dodgers, I still count myself as a fan. I've come home to the Blue.
My family, sadly, didn't understand that our move West meant that the Dodgers would be shacking up with us. I've molded my life to suit the needs of the team. One Wednesday in mid-April, the Dodgers had a 10 a.m. Pacific start time in Pittsburgh. I chose that day to "work" in bed so I could watch the game. My wife passed by the room.
"Shit," she said.
"I just realized what it means that you moved here."
More than anything, it now means that I have a Dodger routine. In addition to the occasional bonus tickets from my friend, I split a 25-game package with a paralegal named Craig who I met on the Dodger Thoughts bulletin board. My seats are in the infield reserve, pretty high up, but they're Section 1, right on home plate, the best that a regular guy can afford more than twice a year.
A few days before the game, I'll contact one lucky friend, telling him or her that I'll cover the ticket and parking if they pay for refreshments. Also, they have to drive, because I like to get stoned before the game. I tell them that they need to pick me up at least 45 minutes before the opening pitch, because unlike many Dodger fans, I refuse to arrive late. And I never miss anything, because I rented my house based on its proximity to Dodger Stadium. It's a 10-minute straight shot down the 2, the breeziest freeway in town.
Usually, we're there in plenty of time. I found a special parking spot where we can get high in peace, without worrying about corrupting the morals of a child or getting caught by lot security. And then it's a little hike up to the infield reserve level, with a quick stop at the Gordon Biersch stand for a bratwurst and a Hefeweizen, and maybe a pretzel. I'm a bit of a crank about the food at Dodger Stadium. Dodger Dogs are, in my judgment, disgusting, though I have a soft spot for Carnation malt cups and usually succumb to one in the fourth inning.
We head off to my seats, though we never actually sit in them. I'm next to two very nice women, who, unfortunately, both weigh at least 350 pounds, and therefore crowd me out. I know of two aisle seats down in the fourth row that, for some reason, are never occupied, so we head to those instead. And then I whip out the binoculars as the Blue takes the field.
But whether I'm at the game or not, the Dodgers are an integral part of my daily life. The family has adjusted. If we go to the beach on a Sunday, I try to get us there early so I can listen to a couple of innings on the way home. And I always schedule my highly aggressive daily romp with my son so I can watch the game as he hurls himself at me and I pummel him with pillows. Elijah, in revenge, has manipulated the romp so that I have to wear my Dodgers cap and he has to attempt to knock it off. Anything to get him interested.
But it's not all frolic. Moving in with the Dodgers has made me a moodier person, if that were possible. One evening, in the midst of a miserable stretch where the team lost 12 of 13, my wife, Regina, approached. The Dodgers were about to drop one to the Padres, an extra-inning job that had been mistakenly entrusted to Danys Baez, an overrated reliever now mercifully in Atlanta.
"WHAT?" I said. "What the hell do you want, goddamn it?"
"I was wondering if you could drive Elijah to school tomorrow," she said. "And hey, asshole, it's not my fault that your team sucks. Do not take it out on me!
"They do suck," I said. "They suck so bad. I'm sorry."
At the moment, I'd agree to carry the kid to school on my back if she asked me. The Dodgers can do no wrong, and they now feature Greg Maddux, one of my favorite players of all time. I'm a happy man. My team, as of this writing, has won 11 out of 12, and I have tickets for tonight. I'm taking my kid, so I won't be stoned, and I'll probably have to spend half the game pretending to be a bear. But it doesn't matter, because I've also got tickets for Monday. And I might buy tickets for Sunday night. The Giants are in town, and it's on ESPN. I'll just leave that going-away party early. I'm sure my family won't mind.

I had delays on my end and each time they were understanding and never showed any hint of being upset. They made me feel that they were working with me, that we were one team. With many companies, I feel a certain tension between their interests and mine. With these guys, I never felt that way.

LEBANON, Pa. - April 12, 2013 --A central Pennsylvania man has died from burns he suffered while smoking a cigarette on a windy day outside an assisted living facility earlier this month.
The Lebanon Daily News reports 65-year-old Richard L. Clentimack died at the Lehigh Valley Burn Center, where he had been flown after sustaining burns to more than 70 percent of his body on April 3.
State police say Clentimack was smoking outside Hill Farm Estate in North Annville Township on a windy day when he was burned. The Lehigh County coroner's office says the death has been ruled accidental.
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Welfare says representatives are investigating.
Clentimack's family says he served in the Army in Vietnam and was awarded the Purple Heart.

Last year we wrote a post on why customer service is broken, and some of the stats in this infographic from drumbi tell the same story.
For example, 60% of US comsumers don't think companies have tried to improve their customer service, while 80% have abandoned a transaction thanks to poor service.
Comments (3)
Graham, great infographic. Thanks for sharing it. Love the stat on 70% of Americans willing to spend up to 13% more with a company that delivers great customer service. I often wonder why more companies don't seem to "get" this.
It's about value - there are a lot of consumers out there who don't buy solely or perhaps even primarily on price. Companies have an opportunity to differentiate themselves based on the experience they provide, and they can build loyalty on this factor - why aren't more of them doing this?
I have no argument whatsoever with the need to provide great customer service - I expect it as a customer, and I make sure we provide it to the customers of the company I work at.
But I do worry about the results in this infographic.
For example - without a great deal more information about what happened and why, the reported 60% of customers losing their temper with a customer service representative seems at least as likely to be an indictment of American 'society' (since the data is for US consumers) than it is of the standard of customer service.
And I don't have a problem with infographics per se ("The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" has long been one of my favourite books.)
But one problem with infographics is they can be *too* persuasive, simply because they look "good", and you can't easily unpack the data to see whether it really supports what's being said.
And "mashing-up" at least five different sources (and an undisclosed number of actual data sources in each one) - each with, I'd guess, wildly differing survey methodologies - into a single infographic is very questionable, because it gives the dangerously misleading impression it's all a single comprehensive result for the same set of consumers, answering the same survey questions about the same things - but it's not.
This is one of the major reason's I've stuck with Amazon for so long. Sure Amazon price is nifty, and I do find almost anything I want, but anytime there is a problem, or something breaks, Amazon either fixes it - or replaces it, no charge.

Illinois film production slowed in 2008 due to the recession but still managed to chalk up its second-most profitable year on record, the state's Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity reported today.With the filming of such movies and TV series as "Public Enemies," "The Informant," "Nothing Like the Holidays" and "The Beast," the industry spent $141 million in Illinois and created 5,392 film project hires.
The record was set in 2007, when film work brought in $155 million and produced 6,875 hires.
Another factor hampering the film business nationwide last year was the lack of a contract settlement with the Screen Actors Guild, a department spokeswoman said.
"Despite the national economic challenges, the film industry proved its resilience," Warren Ribley, state Commerce Department director, said in a statement.

Rita rightly assumes "too hot" means too spicy because the Waiter uses "too hot" within a context that refers to dishes being "too hot" to eat. The waiter, though, uses "too hot" to mean, it's a sought-after item. His usage is awkward.Originally Posted by whl626
I have to agree with Rita on this. I would have made the same assumption. The reason being, when it comes to food, "too hot" isn't usually used to mean, highly sought-after. The norm would be "It's a hot dish (i.e., it's selling fast!/ It's sold out.)".Rita: I'd like to order the special please.
Waiter: I'm sorry you can't do that. The dish is too hot.
Rita: Please don't tell me what I can or cannot eat. I love spicy food. I can eat it so bring me the special no matter how hot it is.
Waiter: It's not spicy, I meant it's a hot item tonight and we've sold out. The special is unavailable
Rita: Ah, sorry.
EX: You can't order that. It's a hot dish.
Meaning #1: It's spicy.
Meaning #2: It's sold out.
All the best, :D

Joyce Bradley Furniture Design, 2018-07-15 03:56:27. Origins of Black Lacquer Furniture. Oriental black lacquered furniture was commonly found in the temples and palaces and homes of the wealthy upper classes. Four basic styles of lacquered furniture design were used throughout the Ming and Qing Dynasties which lasted from 1368 - 1911. These styles included carving the lacquer, using black lacquer to fill in a design engraved into the wood and rubbing it flat, outlining the black lacquer and inlaying mother-of-pearl into the lacquer. White lacquered furniture can be made from a variety of woods, such as reclaimed pine, which is hand finished with a gleaming white lacquer finish. White lacquered furniture has a fresh, clean, contemporary look, and includes beds, side tables, coffee tables, trunks, console tables, mirrors and large sideboards all elegantly hand brushed in a linen finish. This style of furniture has increased in popularity in recent times and can come with attractive and elegant features such as antiquated yet contemporary brass flip up handles and sanded edges which subtly reveal the warm waxed wood underneath.

During the past week thousands of Vietnam veterans have reminisced or relived wartime experiences because of all the media attention given the 10th anniversary of the fall of Saigon.
Few reports have mentioned the music that soldiers and protesters favored during the undeclared war.
It is fitting to list some of the potent songs that filled the air 10 and 15 years ago. And it is interesting to note the difference between those songs of defiance, agony and frustration, and the mindless stuff by Madonna, Animotion and Wham! currently dominating the charts.
Like the visitors standing before the war memorials in Washington, D.C., perhaps it`s time for reflection, time to listen again to voices a decade or two old. Go ahead, dust off your old albums by Country Joe and the Fish, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby Stills & Nash, Arlo Guthrie, Cat Stevens and Richie Havens.
Take a good listen to songs like Wooden Ships, Volunteers, Freedom, The Fish Cheer, Alice`s Restaurant, For What It`s Worth, Peace Train, People Get Ready, Teach Your Children and Ohio. Close your eyes and feel the heat.
We`ve come a long way from riding peace trains and protesting student killings to feeling ``like a virgin`` touched for the very first time. But coming a long way isn`t necessarily the right way or the only way. Top 40 radio has become ostrich music, music to bury your head in the sand by. Nothing wrong with a little entertainment. But it`s the easy, fast-food way out. These are Dance Hall Days. Days when we march to the beat of a computer drummer. Days of leisure. Days of letting others solve the problem.
Few bands can make it on the charts today with thought-provoking songs about the folly of war or oppressive political and social policies.
Bruce Springsteen, for one, did make the Top 10 with Born in the U.S.A., both a tribute to the veteran and a warning against future conflict. Springsteen is an exception to the rule.

Organic Prairie Landjaeger Beef Sausage is a tasty, convenient, high-protein meat snack you can take anywhere. We combine our organic, pasture-raised beef with spices in a natural casing, then flatten the links so they dry better. So while they look a bit different from the perfectly tubal sausage you're used to, the texture and rich, savory beef flavor-complemented by a medium-spicy cayenne pepper kick!-are just like other shelf-stable summer sausages.
If you have questions about this product, please call 877.662.6328.
Handling: Our Landjaeger Beef Sausages are shelf stable and do not need to be refrigerated. If opened, they should be wrapped tightly, stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 5-7 days.

Let's look at the ratio:
Usually it takes between 50 – 65 auditions to book one radio commercial job.
Animation is a smaller world. You know the people involved, and, therefore it is a smaller pool. It's all in who you know. Even though that is the case, Steve doesn't know anyone in animation who doesn't do commercials, that is to say, solely works as a character voice / video game voice actor. To illustrate, in the past we've featured voice actor Kari Wahlgren on VOX Daily, although a talent renowned in the video game voice acting sector, Kari is also an active commercial voice talent.
This episode also delves into dubbing for anime programs from overseas. If you've ever wondered how this process works, you've got to listen to this podcast interview.

DAVIE — Some might say Bill Lazor is on a mercenary mission, one where the odds of surviving aren't in his favor.
There is danger associated with becoming the offense coordinator of the Miami Dolphins, taking over a unit which is tied with Jacksonville for the fewest games with at least 30 points (two) over the past two seasons. Also he's the conductor of an offense which will likely determine this coaching staff and front office's future.
Picking the Dolphins instead of taking the same position with the Detroit Lions — which has an established quarterback in Matthew Stafford, the game's best receiver in Calvin Johnson, a dangerous scatback in Reggie Bush, and a freshly appointed coach in Jim Caldwell — is risky business. But Lazor isn't scared to gamble on himself.
"My future and his future are together," Lazor said of coach Joe Philbin upon his hiring back in January. "I'm with him. I chose to compete. I chose to make an impact."
Lazor's choice was to elevate an offense that has been struggling for nearly a decade, one that desperately needs the development or discovery of an upper echelon quarterback. And he'll apparently do so with a take no prisoners approach.
"Michael!" Lazor yells to get Michael Egnew's attention during last Tuesday's OTA session after the tight end lined up in the wrong spot, potentially ruining a play. "We just went over this!"
Every snap Lazor stands behind the quarterback, usually with his arms folded, fingers pointing, and mouth firing off criticism, instructions, or questions.
He's consistently yelling the word "tempo" because that's what the offense he's installing demands if it is to work.
"It's real fast," said receiver Mike Wallace, who scored three touchdowns during last week's red zone centric practice on Tuesday. "Tempo! We catch a lot of people off guard. We're all over the place on offense. We've got a lot of play action, a lot of shots [deep]. It is my type of offense."

Leave The Painful Past Behind : Sample Preview Version
At times, people that have experienced extreme hardships in their lives need some extra help to move past the blockages that those experiences have caused. It's difficult to feel happy and focus on positive outcomes if the mind is always going back and replaying past tragedies. This subliminal meditation video was designed to help people who have experienced extreme hardships move beyond those experiences. At this point in time, those experiences are nothing but a thought. The actual experiences don't exist anymore. But the images, if allowed to be replayed in the mind, can hold one back from reaching their full potential.
The first part of this video is about "leaving the past behind". You'll be taken through many tunnels, leading you from one place to another. After you complete your journey, or "leave the past behind", you'll explore beautiful landscapes representing your brand new frame of mind and the embracing of light and love. Use this subliminal meditation video to program the subconscious to move beyond those troubling memories of the past. Allow yourself to let go, and let those memories fade away like the sunset dissolving into the ocean. This video contains both VISUAL and SPOKEN subliminal commands. Some of the hundreds of subliminal commands include:

A 25-year-old woman was arrested Saturday morning at the Home Depot store in Kennewick.
Police were called to the story ab about 11:30 a.m. because of reports that a woman was being held against her will, the KPD reported.
Upon arriving, officers tried to communicate with Leticia Rubalcava but she became hostile while constantly reaching for her handbag. Police believe she lives in Kennewick but were not certain.
Once police talked to other witnesses it was determined the people Rubalcava claimed were holding her against her will were actually trying to help her and were concerned for her safety, police said.
Refusing to cooperate with officer's commands, the woman was placed handcuffed on her for safety as she screamed irrational statements to police. Once she was safely in the patrol car, Rubalcava began to act as if she was passing out. When officers opened the door to check on her she sprang out of the car and started screaming and laughing.
Rubalcava was then arrested and transported to Trios Medical Center to be checked out, then later taken into jail. A sizable amount of methamphetamine was found in her bag. She was booked into the Benton County Jail for obstructing, resisting arrest and possession of methamphetamine.

What's the Latest Development?
The modern and supposedly admirable answer to yesterday's patriarchy is the Nice Guy, says Eva Wiseman, editor of the Observer magazine. The Nice Guy defines himself according to his liberal values, i.e. how much respect he doles out to people not as privileged as himself. "Like he's giving ribbon-tied gifts rather than just being a grown-up. Who talks about the 'beauty of childbirth', about his admiration of 'strong women', 'real women'. About the way he appreciates not tits and arses, but minds..." But Wiseman says this saccharine generosity is code for: "Don't do what men want, do what Nice Guys want!"
What's the Big Idea?
One of the Nice Guy's trademark generosities is his appreciation of women without makeup, as though his countervailing aesthetic, which happens not to include women's pastes and powders, will make them feel any more secure. "The only difference between Nice Guys' misogyny and that of their fathers'," said Wisement, "is that Nice Guys' misogyny is in disguise. It's wearing a little hat. An eye patch. Nice Guys cuddle you tightly, then half an hour later you realise they've nicked your wallet. Nice Guys lift up women on their shoulders, but only to make sure they don't see all the stuff they're crushing underfoot."

Wine Cork Garland Tutorial
We have an abundance of synthetic wine corks and I am always testing different ideas as how to reuse them. Here is my latest idea…
Wine Cork Garland for the Holidays!
Decorate the Christmas tree, banisters, and mantles with a lovely strand of wine corks. The above garland measures 21 feet, the perfect length to wrap around a tree. Or twist it with lights and hang it on a stair banister. I love that this eco-friendly project can be used year round. Put the finishing touches on anniversary dinners, or use colored cork garland to decorate for other holidays like the New Year or Valentines' Day.
Materials needed:
Wine Corks, any type
Screw Eyes, any size
Key rings, any size
We simply screwed two screw eyes into each cork's end and connected them with key rings!
As you see below, you can use different types of wine corks, different sized screw eyes, and different sized key rings to make different styles of wine cork garland.
We like to add champagne corks to the ends of the garland. Here is one we just made for our own decorating (in honor of a trip to New Orleans).
Happy Crafting!
Be sure to enter our GIVEAWAY! It ends tonight at midnight, 11/6/13

An Ohio farm boy, Dean Jagger dropped out of school several times before attending Wabash College. He was a schoolteacher for several years before opting to study acting at Chicago's Lyceum Art Conservatory. By the time he made his first film in 1929, Jagger had worked in stock, vaudeville and radio.
At first, Hollywood attempted to turn Jagger into a standard leading man, fitting the prematurely balding actor with a lavish wig and changing his name to Jeffrey Dean. It wasn't lo
Physically and vocally, Jagger would have been ideal for the role of Dwight D. Eisenhower, but he spent his career studiously avoiding that assignment. Having commenced his professional life as a teacher, Dean Jagger came full circle in 1964 when cast as Principal Albert Vane on the TV series Mr. Novak.

Did you know that the average power drill only gets used 6 to 13 minutes in its lifetime? Think of all the resources it took to produce that drill and countless other products like it… and sharing begins to make perfect sense from an environmental standpoint.
We're all familiar with the concept of sharing, but "collaborative consumption" takes sharing to a new level. It not only counteracts the extensive consumption that's caused many of our greatest environmental challenges: it strengthens our community ties, too. Access (to tools, shelter, and other resources) is taking the place of ownership in the new economy, and it's freeing us up for the things that really enrich our lives: family, friends and experiences.
There are things we're already used to sharing, such as books at the library, but with online networks it's easy to match available goods and services with needs. Here are some of the most exciting developments in this new "access economy":
Housing: The average home size in the U.S. is 2300 square feet. In the U.K., it's just 818 square feet. There's no denying the glut of large homes in the U.S. adds tremendously to our energy consumption. Creative housing options like co-housing and other types of intentional communities not only lessen this consumption, but foster a stronger sense of neighborliness with the addition of more communal areas.
Office Space: Freelancers and other independent business owners often don't have the funds to purchase office equipment and can occasionally suffer from isolation. Coworking gives people the chance to share resources and ideas and socialize in a common space.
Energy: It might seem that the only choices one has when purchasing energy is to go through the utility or put solar panels on one's roof, but there's a third way: community-owned renewable energy. Projects like Oakland, California's Solar Mosaic and Jefferson, Iowa's Hardin Hilltop Wind Farm allow individuals and businesses to purchase "shares" in a local renewable energy project that provides their electricity.
Transportation: Within the last decade, bike sharing has seen explosive growth in cities around the world. The humble bike is now at the center of the fastest growing form of transportation in the world. This summer, New York City will launch its own bike share program with 10,000 bikes. Car sharing has also taken off, with companies like car2go and RelayRides joining names like Zipcar. Even the big automakers are funding and developing car sharing programs.
Tools: Tool libraries give neighbors access to a huge selection of tools for any possible home improvement or construction project without needing to purchase those tools. Community workshops like Durham, North Carolina's TechShop give people access to sophisticated equipment for endless creative and practical pursuits.
Time: It's not just physical objects that can be shared. Time banks allow neighbors to barter skills with one another. Car repair, music lessons and video editing are just a few of the potential skilled services people can "deposit" in a time bank for exchange.
Sharing starts with you! Here's a great resource guide from Shareable and the Center for a New American Dream on ways to get sharing started in your community.

49. This Bill would require a social services authority
to make a 'delayed discharge payment' to the NHS body caring for
a patient if
50. We have already given initial consideration to
this Bill. In the light of it, our Chair wrote to the Minister,
Ms. Jacqui Smith MP, asking
51. The Minister has now replied. Her letter, dated
23 December 2002, is published as an appendix to this Report.
It seems to us to answer the questions satisfactorily. The Minister
explains that the scheme is intended to be applied to mental health
patients in due course. It is not intended to apply to compulsorily
detained patients in respect of whom both social services and
NHS authorities have responsibilities under section 117 of the
Mental Health Act 1983, but the matter will be addressed in the
Mental Health Bill to be introduced as soon as parliamentary time
allows. In the light of the Minister's response, we are satisfied
that the aspects of the Bill about which the Committee inquired
do not give rise to a significant threat of a violation of human
52. Since writing to the Minister, our Chair has
received a letter from Mr. Paul Burstow MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow
Minister for Older People, raising a number of additional human
rights issues (similar to those noted by the Minister in the final
paragraph of her letter as having been raised at Second Reading):
the impact of the Bill on the patient's rights to life and to
freedom from degrading treatment; the independence of the panel
to be appointed under clause 6 of the Bill; the impact on the
patient of the delayed discharge period; and the effect of the
Bill on the rights of carers. Mr. Burstow's letter was reproduced
as an appendix to our First Report.[41]
We have considered these concerns.
53. Right to life and freedom from degrading treatment.
Mr. Burstow suggested that the Bill contains inadequate safeguards
against discharging people who are unfit, putting lives at risk
or opening patients to degrading treatment. We accept that the
Bill will put pressure on social services employees, when assessing
patients's needs for community care services under clause 3(3),
to minimise the services that it will say the patient will require.
(Indeed, practical difficulties for social services employees
abound, including for example the national shortage of occupational
therapists, who alone are qualified to assess certain needs.)
However, the NHS authority would remain responsible under section
6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 not to discharge a patient if it
would threaten to put his or her life at risk contrary to ECHR
Article 2 or to subject the patient to degrading treatment contrary
to Article 3. That being so, we do not consider that the Bill,
if properly implemented, would be responsible for threatening
a violation of the right to life or the right to be free of degrading
54. Independence of the panel to be appointed
under clause 6. Mr. Burstow suggested that the dispute resolution
panel envisaged by clause 6 would need to comply with requirements
of independence and impartiality, by reason of ECHR Article 6,
and that the constitution of the panels should therefore be settled
in primary legislation rather than being left to regulations (as
clause 6(2) currently does). Mr. Burstow pointed out that a number
of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights bring administrative
tribunals within the scope of Article 6 requirements. However,
Article 6 applies only where
55. The panel envisaged by clause 6 would not have
either of those characteristics. The panel would not determine
disputes, but would only 'assist in the resolution of disputes'.
It would appear to have only a facilitative role, helping the
disputing authorities to reach an accommodation through mediation
or conciliation, rather than imposing a conclusion by adjudication.
By its very nature, Article 6 cannot apply to such panels. Furthermore,
the matters in dispute (disagreements between public authorities
about, for example, which of them should provide what services
to whom) are neither criminal charges nor civil rights or obligations
within the meaning of Article 6. For these reasons, we consider
that it would be inappropriate for the panels to be subjected
to Article 6 standards.
56. Delayed discharge period. Because a social
services authority may be liable under clause 3 to make a delayed
discharge payment in respect of a patient from the third day after
a NHS authority has given a notice of intended discharge under
clause 2, Mr. Burstow raised the possibility that a patient might
have only three days to decide where to spend the rest of his
or her life. However, the patient would not have to make a final
decision within that period about where he or she would live permanently.
The only question would be where the patient would go immediately
after discharge, so that the social services authority could assess
the patient's community care needs in that place. Longer-term
issues could be considered later. While decisions about a person's
place of residence undoubtedly engage the right to respect for
the home under ECHR Article 8.1, it seems to us that patients
can legitimately be expected to make short-term decisions reasonably
quickly, as long as suitable choices are put before them, in order
to protect the health and the rights of others who need hospital
care. Insofar as there could be an interference with ECHR Article
8.1, it seems to us that the NHS authority and the social services
authority would be required by ECHR Article 8.2 and the Human
Rights Act 1998, section 6, to ensure that the interference is
for one of those legitimate purposes, is a response to a pressing
need, and is proportionate to it (particularly the need to free
up hospital beds for other patients). As long as this is done,
we consider that any interference with a patient's rights under
ECHR Article 8.1 would be likely to be justifiable under ECHR
Article 8.2.
57. Strain on carers. Mr. Burstow made two
points. First, there is no provision in the Bill requiring consultation
with carers (particularly family members) before people are discharged
into their care. Secondly, carers might be charged for intermediate
care provided to the patients in their care. Both these points
could engage the right to respect for private and family life
under ECHR Article 8. In practice, we accept that any attempt
to force a carer to care for a patient, in the absence of a pre-existing
duty such as the duty of a parent to care for his or her minor
child, would on the face of it be so disproportionate an intrusion
as to violate the Article 8 rights of both the carer and the patient,
as well as those of other members of the carer's household. However,
for that very reason it would be unlawful for either the NHS authority
or the social services authority to do anything of the kind, by
virtue of section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998. If a carer agrees,
voluntarily, to accept the responsibility for caring for someone
on condition that appropriate community care services are provided
to make that possible, it would seem to be wholly irrational for
the social services authority or the NHS authority to charge for
those services, unless the authority is offering alternative care
(for example, in a nursing home) which the authority could provide
substantially more cheaply. If the authority can provide the services
substantially more cheaply elsewhere, but the carer wants to care
for the patient at home, it would not seem to us to be necessarily
disproportionate, for the purpose of ECHR Article 8, to charge
the carer for the services, as long as the impact of the charge
on the carer and other members of the carer's household is taken
properly into account when deciding whether to charge, and, if
so, how much to charge for the services.
58. For these reasons, while recognizing the importance
of the issues raised in Mr. Burstow's letter, we have come to
the conclusion that they do not disclose a substantial risk of
incompatibility with Convention rights.

Even very advanced technology -- if it exists at all -- capable of traversing the stars will be exceptionally "expensive" in terms of the cost of energy required.
Also, I tend to reject any notion that our existence here might be due to any off-planet influence as evolution tells us differently (unless you subscribe to the possibility that all life on earth was seeded).

I remain skeptical. My primary reasons are that we represent a relatively mundane existence when compared against the wonders of the galaxy available to an interstellar species. Even very advanced technology -- if it exists at all -- capable of traversing the stars will be exceptionally "expensive" in terms of the cost of energy required. I can't imagine any intelligent species wasting that energy on us when the entire galaxy calls.
I remain skeptical as to the potential value we might represent to any advanced interstellar species.

But in the end, I have no way to know for sure.
