... some serious shoulder surgeries about 2 years ago. I gradually took my pain medicine more and more. Now I take 6 maybe 8, of 10/325 oxycodone a day. If I run out between prescriptions I call my doctor and get more. Its easy since i have other medical reasons to require more surgery. I'm positive I don't need the amount I'm taking every day. If I have to go 1 or 2 days without, I feel absolutely terrible. I want to stop but the fear of my family finding out horrifies me. I want to get an idea how bad it will be and how long it will last based on my usage. Will I be able to do it alone?Also, is it dangerous if I stop without telling anybody?
I am 52 and nobody knows (husband, children, employer) that I am addicted to my pain meds. I had?

It's not true that nobody knows, because you know. Best way to deal with this is to tell your husband AND your DR you want to get into recovery, and that he needs to get into Al Anon, so he can have some support in how to best help you. Being in recovery will help you get through this, and your Dr can help you with it medically.
Forget the fear and forget thinking you can just stop, let alone just stop without anyone finding out. It's the secrets and the fear that are worse than the substance in your body. Hope this helps.
That was good balbanese, but I think she was asking in a round about way if she could slowly taper off what she is taking. I agree she should talk to her doc, maybe her hubby, definitely not the kids unless they are grown. They wouldn't understand. But, she can get off. That's what's important. I had major shoulder surgery, after post op period and PT, didn't need meds for my shoulder anymore ... just the rest of me as I hurt my back more falling down those stairs.
Since you are the one making the decision to tone down on the meds, I believe you can, little by little. Get off and then assess your pain.
Best of luck in your quest.
Sweet Hippie
A lot of what gives this addiction power over you is the secrecy. Once we get things out in the open, we find that the world doesn't end, and then recovery begins. I know I've found a lot of help in an 12-step group and suggest you seek one out. The people there understand what you are going through and can help. Most of all though: Tell your husband. Get this out in the open so you aren't dealing with it alone. See - you told all of us and the roof didn't fall in, did it? No - you're a human being and we ALL are far from perfect! - ElizaJane
Everyone who would take that daily for two yrs would experience withdrawal. Your body is dependent on it. I wouldn't jump to conclusions and say you are an addict. I know plenty. I sometimes notice I am taking 'more than I NEED', but i am def not an addict. If you are hurtn at a 5 and the meds there, why not make pain a 3? That's how id think and id take more. That's human nature, not addiction. I know I could tough it out, but why if its there? Just cut back slowly and prepare yourself mentally. Personally, I wasn't as used to the pain as I was b4 so it was a lil shock and getting used to. Don't freak out and assume you are an addict bc of others or gossip you hear. There are signs you can look up online to see if you fit the description. Either way, just start cutting back a dose a day for a week or so and limit yourself. Worked for me and I hope it does same for you.
I don't advise telling your Dr until you are sure you are an addict and have a problem to where you need help. You will get red flagged as an addict and may be harder in future to get pain relief because Drs Will see red flag. Good luck!
Hi Up2Me...
Let's say you just stop. You were asking if you could do that and would anybody know. It would be fair to say that EVERYBODY will know because you will get really sick and go into withdrawal. They might know what is up but you sure will and they need to know in case something happens to you. So, do not stop without talking with your doctor. Let him guide you in the tapering process.
Also, I wasn't sure if that was your question OR if you wanted to get down to a more manageable dose and not just take them as you feel like taking them. I will say you are getting up there with the acetaminophen part of your meds. Keeping your dose up that high will adversely affect your liver.
I am surprised that your doctor will give you more medication even though you have other issues. For some of us... asking the doctor for more before we run out means we might end up taking a surprise drug test. I am surprised you are able to get by without popping up on the radar. It is going to get to the point where doctors are going to have to cut back on what they can prescribe and for whom they can prescribe. That issue is already causing controversy in several states. Virginia is a big one and I believe Illinois is as well (somebody will correct me on this).
So what is it that you REALLY want to do??? Do you want to come off altogether or get back to a more responsible dose for the management of pain?
I look forward to hearing more from you on this one... in the meantime, take care of yourself and stop the insanity before you end up not being able to get medication from this doctor.
I pray you decide to take better care of yourself and find additional ways to cope with your issues. Can you do hydrotherapy or aquatherapy??? Are you in physical therapy??? Just thinking out loud here.
I've been there, on pain meds. Ive never abused them but I've definitely been dependant on them to live without pain. I have been prescribed medications that have been horrible for me. You can start tapering yourself off of them though. I know, sounds scary and thinking about it makes you nervous. You can start by 1/2ing what your currently taking. Stick to that and go about 3-4 days doing that, then cut that into 3/4ths, sticking to that for abt 3 days, then taper to 1/2 of that. I'm only suggesting this bc Ive done it myself.. by no means am I a doctor but I have been exactly where you are and if you stick to the plan, you can do it.

Evonik offers a wealth of raw materials for the coatings industry. Be it cars, cell phones, or parquet flooring: materials of all kinds are protected from stubborn scratches when the coating contains fine-grained silicas or nanocomposites from Evonik.
Fumed silica is used in paints and coatings, for example, to control the rheological properties or as an anti-settling agent and also to improve rustproofing. Thanks to special monomers, the surfaces of articles of daily use are no longer susceptible to alcohol-based cleaning materials. For example, the products from Evonik also provide optimum protection against environmental effects for newly renovated concrete surfaces.
High demands are placed on car paints and coating technology in terms of quality, durability, and environmental compatibility. Evonik offers low-solvent, methacrylate-based systems to suit the special requirements of its customers.
When used as coatings, polyamide powders protect metal surfaces and, as additives, they improve the properties of paints. With special treatment the powders form antimicrobial surfaces and thus help prevent infection, even combating multi-resistant germs.
Evonik coatings are also an optimum solution for food packaging. Food is protected reliably against external influences through a combination of outstanding adhesive properties with flexibility and surface hardness.
Methacrylate monomers from Evonik used in binders for automotive clear coat finishes provide high gloss, scratch resistance, and durability. Other specialty products used in dispersion paints for outdoor use improve adhesion on weathered substrates.
Even though many additives are often used only in small quantities they still improve the quality and performance characteristics of the coating. For example, glide and flow additives and substrate wetting additives create even flow properties and an ideal surface smoothness. Organofunctional silanes increase for example the adhesion of coatings and moreover enhance the corrosion protection of the varnishes.

Pac-10 Football Awards And All-Conference Team Announced
Download Complete Release
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- Quarterback Andrew Luck of STANFORD has been selected Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year, tackle Steven Paea of OREGON STATE the Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year and Chip Kelly of OREGON the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. In addition, wide receiver Robert Woods of USC and defensive tackle Junior Onyeali of ARIZONA STATE have been named Pac-10 Offensive and Defensive Freshmen of the Year. The award winners are selected by the Pac-10 head football coaches.
Offensive Player of the Year Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford: Luck, a sophomore from Houston, Texas, led a Stanford team that finished the season with an 11-1 record, the most wins in school history, and will participate in a BCS bowl game for the first time since 2000. The All-America quarterback leads the Pac-10 and ranks seventh in the nation with a 166.1 passing efficiency rating. Luck this season completed 245 passes in 349 attempts for 3,051 yards, just the fourth 3,000-yard season in school history, and a school record 28 touchdowns against just seven interceptions. He also rushed for 438 yards (8.6 yards per carry), establishing a single-season best mark by a Stanford quarterback. Under Luck's leadership, the Cardinal averaged 40.3 points per game, scoring 30 or more points in 11 of 12 games, and averaged 467.3 yards in total offense.
Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State: Paea, a senior from Los Altos, Calif., anchored a Beaver defense that ranks fourth in the Pac-10 and 24th in the nation in sacks with 2.5 per game. He leads the team with six sacks and 10.0 tackles for loss. Last season he was co-recipient of the Morris Trophy presented to the Pac-10's top defensive lineman as voted on by the league's offensive lineman. Paea has amassed 129 tackles for his career, including 29.5 tackles for loss and 14.0 sacks, and has established a school record with nine forced fumbles.
Offensive Freshman of the Year Robert Woods, WR, USC: Woods, a true freshman from Carson, Calif., was among the league leaders in receptions (64/4.9 per game) and receiving yards (786/60.5 per game), while hauling in six touchdown receptions. However, it was his school record-breaking kickoff returns marks that earned him first-team All-Conference kickoff returner. He returned 38 kicks for 971 yards (25.6 yard average) - both school records - and one touchdown. He ranks second in the Pac-10, and 27th nationally, with 139.8 all-purpose yards.
Defensive Freshman of the Year Junior Onyeali, DE, Arizona State: Onyeali, a true freshman from Denver, Colo., was key to a Sun Devil defense that was second in the league and 17th in the nation in rushing defense (120.2 yards per game). He led the Sun Devils and all Pac-10 freshmen with 6.5 sacks for a loss of 61 yards. Of his 18 stops this season, 11.5 were for loss. Arizona State claims back-to-back honors as LB Vontaze Burfict was honored last season as the Pac-10 Defensive Freshman of the Year.
Coach of the Year Chip Kelly, Oregon: Kelly has guided Oregon to back-to-back Pac-10 titles. While the Ducks have won back-to-back titles in 2000 and 2001, this is the first time doing so outright as they tied for the 2000 title. In addition, Oregon became the 12th Pac-10 team to have gone undefeated and untied en route to the Conference championship. The 12-0 perfect regular season are the most wins by an Oregon team, and the nine league wins is a first for any league team in Pac-10 history. While the high-powered Ducks lead the nation in scoring offense (49.3 ppg) and are second in total offense (537.5 yards per game), the defense leads in the league in rushing defense (117.6) and are second in scoring defense (18.4 ppg). Kelly becomes just the fourth coach to earn Pac-10 Coach of the Year honors in back-to-back years (Larry Smith, USC 1987-88; Don James, Washington 1990-91; Pete Carroll, USC 2005-06).

Thank you so much for your ministry's generosity in providing calendar cards. I hope you will find happiness in knowing each and every man incarcerated at our facility was provided a calendar. They so greatly appreciate this ministry you provide for them, as they like being able to cross off the days left in their incarceration. There were a few inmates who were thrilled to be able to turn down receiving a calendar this year, as they will be going home soon. Again, a great thank you!

Stinson will remain with the company as an Executive Vice President, reporting to Chairman Bill Foley. He will focus on oversight and board membership for FNF's portfolio companies, with an emphasis on accounting and finance activities, FNF investor relations and aiding in mergers and acquisitions activities.

Dear Expectant Mother,
We have never met you, but we feel a strong connection to you through our common love for your baby. We share your love and desire for your baby to grow into the best person they can be. We want to give you an honest glimpse of the stable, safe, and loved life we would provide your baby.
We met in college 14 years ago and became close friends. After three years of dating, our 'Happily Ever After' began at Disney World, where we were engaged with Cinderella's Castle in front of us and fireworks overhead. We can't wait to share our love for Disney World with your child! From the moment we were engaged, we have been so excited to become parents and to provide an amazing life for our family.
We are blessed to have a unique, laid-back life. We have flexibility to be ourselves, and to put our family first. Jenna will be able to stay at home with your baby. Josh will also be able to spend much time at home while remaining a strong provider through his successful career in the tech industry. We want to cherish every special moment with your child, surrounding them with love, laughter and memories.
We're young and active, and enjoy traveling around the world. We plan to continue this as your child grows up. We want them to discover new cultures, have new experiences and be adventurous. We want your child to try new things, follow their passions, and have fun being a kid. We can't wait for the first family vacation to Disney World with the grandparents, introducing your child to Mickey for the first time!
When we're not traveling, we love spending time at home. We have a large house we designed to have everything our family might need. We have cozy bedrooms close together and a game room we're ready to fill with toys. A board game nook, a media room and a big backyard means we always have something fun to do. We have two cats, Tink and Bonkers who love to cuddle and always have to be in the same room with their family. Across the street are our close friends and their adorable one-year-old daughter. We know she will be a great friend to your child. Our neighborhood feels like it's in the country - surrounded by trees, birds, rabbits, and baby goats. There's even a pond for fishing and feeding the ducks. We're in a suburb of a large city in Texas - just minutes from parks, playgrounds, excellent schools, and everything else we might need.
Our parents live nearby and will be loving, involved grandparents. They are so excited to spoil their first grandchild! We have fun family traditions for Thanksgiving and Christmas that we can't wait to pass along. Our house is especially warm and cozy throughout the fall as Jenna is cooking and baking throughout the holiday season, with pumpkin, gingerbread and spices filling the air. Above all, your child will be surrounded by a close family that treasures them with unconditional love and support.
We have been blessed with so many opportunities that we feel we've been given a fairy tale life. We know our "Happily Ever After" won't be complete until we share these opportunities with a child. We hope you'll bless us with the opportunity to raise your baby in our loving, caring home. We want to honor the love and compassion you've shown by considering adoption, and we hope to speak with you about the information you want us to share with you about your child and their life ahead.
Jenna & Joshua

Tech Mahindra bullish on hiring; headcount to cross 1-lakh soon
With a bullish outlook on the Indian IT story and its own hiring plans, Mahindra group's technology venture Tech Mahindra says its headcount will cross the 1-lakh level in about a year, from close to 85,000 at present.
"I don't think there has been any stagnation in hiring activities in the Indian IT space. Seven years ago, we were six-seven thousand people and today we are 85,000," Tech Mahindra Vice Chairman Vineet Nayyar said here.
Asked when Tech Mahindra would reach the 1-lakh mark, he said: "Its a matter of a year or so. I don't see it as a very big deal."
Nayyar, who was here for the World Economic Forum ( WEF) Annual Meeting, told PTI in an interview that India's IT story is not over, but its nature would evolve depending on the changing needs.
"The fact is that skills are in India and those skills are needed. There would be drafting of new needs, which would be overlaid by the new technology that would evolve and those needs are not going to go away.
"So, as far as I can see, the Indian technology story is not over and in fact it will strengthen further because increasingly India is becoming an epicentre for its evolution and growth," he said.
When asked about hiring trends in the IT sector, Nayyar said he does not think there has been any slowdown in hiring and every passing year all firms have been hiring more people.
"I am sure that IT will create huge employment going forward too and then you should understand that for each job in IT, you create at least three additional jobs and most people say it is an under-statement. So, net-net on employment side, I am fairly bullish," he added.
Talking about the emergence of new markets for Indian IT companies, Nayyar said the technological needs are going to increase globally, because technology has become so pervasive in everyone's life -- from a child of 2-3 years to all of us.
"When needs arise, the responses would come and capabilities would evolve and it so happens that there is a huge abundance of young and bright people in India and all these people make a unique talent base, which I don't think is replicated elsewhere," he said.
On the trends seen in the clients' IT spending budget, Nayyar said, "They have no choice because need for technology is growing and it pervades the entire company now from the top to the bottom.
"People have no choice but to increase their technology budget, specially if they want to compete, if they want to control costs and if they want to be competitive," he said.
Asked about the spate of leadership changes among Indian IT companies, Nayyar said there was nothing to worry about.
"We are all professional people and hopefully each leader who has gone has created enough leadership skills at lower levels," he added.

National Geographic Extreme Explorer, National Geographic Explorer or National Geographic Young Explorer yet? I thought that this would be a great opportunity to blog about these magazines because you can access FREE
proectable versions of them all online! The lessons and activities also match the common core standards!
As you can see, there are three different magazines. Let's start with the youngest, just because it makes sense. The National Geographic Young Explorer is for Kindergarten and Grade One. When you visit the site, you will see that they have two different teacher's guides, one for Kindergarten, and one for Grade One. You can access the FREE projectable edition of the March 2013 magazine here and grab the FREE pdf teacher's guides below. As you know, these can also be adapted for grades two and three as well. We always need differentiated tasks as well!
Kindergarten Teacher's Guide March 2013
Grade 1 Teacher's Guide March 2013
Here's a peek at the teacher's guide for grade one so that you don't have to download it and delete it if it isn't for you!
The great thing about teaching with these magazines, is that you could use these activities multiple ways in your classroom! I have used the magazine articles for my shared reading in order to integrate science or to model writing or reading strategies. I have also used them as literacy stations and science stations (depending on topic and activity). Many of the lessons have great links to video and other information online so it can even turn into an interactive lesson if you are lucky enough to teach with ipads or even laptops. There's also an ipad app for all of the magazines, which I believe you can try out for free and then subscribe to. Check out some of the guides below to see what kind of lessons and activities you will find in the teacher's guide! The only down side to the interactive magazine edition is that you can't save it for future use and you have to work with this month's magazine, but, if you really like something, you can head over to Promethean Planet where they sell the projectable version so you can have it for future reference. However, if you print the magazine from the interactive version, you will always have a printed edition for future use.
Please let me know if any of the links do not work, including the pdf guides. If you are liking what you see, head over to the websites because the April 2013 Edition of all the magazines is already ready with the teachers guides to download!
Happy Reading!

Uncanny X-Men #525- After a few set-up issues, action is back on the menu. And not a second too soon as the X-Men throw it down with the Nimrods. Having said that, I wonder if the Nimrods had degraded since the last time I saw them because they are a little weak here. Storm destroyed one with a lighting bolt and Namor actually held off 5 while waiting for support. I know he's powerful but Namor against 5 Nimrods? It was nice to see Xavier again and a little of the mystery of Hope is lifted this issue. All in all, outside the art, a good issue.
S.H.I.E.L.D #2- I commented on the first issue of S.H.I.E.L.D that it has a great concept but only an average story. One of the reasons is that writer Jonathan Hickman never explained anything but kept on throwing one mad idea after another towards us. Dustin Weaver's beautiful artwork can only do so much. In issue 2, it's pretty much the same old story. It starts with a guy named Nostradamus, ends with Leonardo Da Vinci with Leonid, in-between there is a fight between Leonid's father and 2 guys named Richards and Stark; and in total I had no idea what I was reading about! I am loath to call this a mess, maybe Hickman has some mysterious plan, but if he does he better start showing it soon.
Secret Six #24 –"Cats in the Cradle" has been one of the best arcs writer Gail Simone has written so far…till this issue. The issue starts exactly when the last issue ends; with lions eating Loki. Catman then track down the rest of the kidnappers and in the climax, he basically gave up the search! Sorry but that is just wrong. I always thought of Thomas Blake as one of those stubborn determined guys who won't let anyone or anything get in his way. I mean he is the best tracker in the DCU isn't he? The guy who said, "The pavement has my child" a few issues ago right? For him to just give up looking for his son, even with a reason, is just something that comes out of left field. The rest of the issue, Catman's flashback and Black Alice's confession that she may have given her father cancer, were much better. This isn't a bad issue, but if not for the climax, it would have been great.

To make homemade windshield cleaner, combine 8 ounces isopropyl rubbing alcohol, 1 ounce liquid Castile soap, water and if desired, 4 drops of blue food coloring. High-proof vodka can be substituted for the rubbing alcohol. Mix the ingredients in an empty gallon jug.Continue Reading
Begin making this nontoxic cleaner by pouring rubbing alcohol in the empty jug. Fill the jug with water, leaving room for the soap. Slowly adding the soap and food coloring, and cap the jug. The fluid should be mixed by tipping the jug upside down a few times before being poured into the correct compartment under the car hood.
Another option for homemade windshield cleaner is mixing 1 gallon of water, 1 tablespoon of dish soap, 1/2 cup of non-sudsing ammonia and a few drops of blue food coloring, which serves as a reminder of its contents. Vinegar can be used instead of ammonia.
Fill a gallon container with water, and add and mix the ingredients. While this recipe claims to work in most climates, it suggests adding 1 cup of isopropyl alcohol when the weather drops below freezing. Test it to see if it freezes by leaving it outside overnight. If it is frozen or icy in the morning, add more alcohol.Learn more about Car Parts & Maintenance

The Mesa (Ariz.) City Council on Monday evening approved a proposal to spend $84 million for a new spring training complex for the Cubs and is now awaiting official word from the team, which is expected within days.
If the Cubs' board approves the plan for a 15,000-seat stadium modeled after Wrigley Field, the two parties would enter into an exclusive negotiations period.
The Cubs would operate the new complex -- and make money from naming rights and signage -- which would be built east of HoHoKam Park. They also would try to find another team to take over the old site.

On NOV 11, 2016, which was also 'Veterans Day' in the US, Ultra Endurance Athlete and former US Marine himself, George Hood, who is already a 9x world record holder, set yet another incredible new World Record to add to his list for holding the Planking exercise for over 9 hours without a break.
He smashed the previous record that was already impressively set at just over 8 hours at a "Salute to Service" celebration. The event was a fundraiser held to honor all veterans on Veterans Day.
After the latest achievement, Hood told reporters:
"I'm proud to have set this new world record on such a historic day in the U.S. and on behalf of our veterans".
Celebrity fitness professional, Tony Nicholson, from Beijing, China, who was a certifying official at the event said:
"This event by Hood and his crew was historic and done by the book with no flaws…. and it's one of the most emotional events I have ever been witness to…..he has won the hearts and minds of countless Chinese and so many around the world who respect his raw power and courage to challenge himself so far and for a good cause!"
Hood, who is a former U.S. Marine Officer and retired DEA Agent gave special thanks to the 2,000+ people who witnessed the world record challenge and to his crew anchored by Operations Manager, Mary Shanley who commented:
"George Hood does extraordinary things like this so we never forget those who benefit from his fundraising efforts."
Hood's exceptional strength and mental conditioning necessary to sustain such endurance feats has raised awareness to the overall benefits of the plank, a static pose vested in yoga culture and often referred to as an active position of rest. Hood continues to be a leader in the fitness industry with regard to core training and plank fitness.
Hood presently resides in Carlsbad, CA, where he trained approximately 7 hours a day to prepare for this new world record attempt. Prior to this, Hood competed in China's 2nd International World Cup Plank Challenge in May, 2016, where he took a respectable 2nd place with a time of 7 hours, 40minutes and 4 seconds.
He is also a personal trainer and Group Exercise instructor and he vows to continue remarkable feats like this to inspire the world!
Special Thanks to Mary Shanley

Deep breaths, everyone. We're a little less than halfway through most fantasy football regular seasons. Whether you're 6-0 (God bless), 0-6 (thoughts & prayers) or anything in between, there's a lot to talk about. Now is a good time to try and take advantage of the trade market. Some owners are likely frustrated by players they invested a lot in, so it might be time to make an offer to someone that's desperate for change. If you're lucky enough to have accumulated some depth, there might be some players on your roster that you could part ways with while their value is at its peak. We'll talk about all this and more this week – let's get started. Continue reading The Fantasy Report — Week 7 Talking Points

Almost every year, the contenders for Oscar's original-screenplay kudo include one or more newcomers making a splash with their first produced script. At the same time, the adapted-screenplay category is typically a race among veteran scribes, who often have plenty of award pedigree.
That's to be expected, as tyros rarely have the wherewithal or studio trust to obtain a pre-existing property. Even today's most respected adapters had to do something notable to get past the gatekeepers.
Is adapting really so different from writing an original, though? Justin Haythe, who adapted "Revolutionary Road" and is now laboring over several originals and an adaptation, is skeptical.
"There's something about every screenplay that involves translation of an idea — your own or that of a novel." He seeks a single jumping-off point, which in the case of "Revolutionary Road" was "two people screaming at each other at the side of a road."
Whether original or adaptation, it's about "looking for that central motion: two people arranged in space, and making something happen that changes that."
The industry doesn't seem to see things that way, though. It's unusual for a relative unknown to make a splash with an adapted screenplay, as Aline Brosh McKenna did last year with "The Devil Wears Prada" — and McKenna had more than one produced script under her belt.
Haythe, who was an esteemed novelist before taking up screenwriting, wrote a spec script, then wrote the screenplay for the original thriller "The Clearing," which in turn led to the offer to adapt Richard Yates' novel "Revolutionary Road."
2003's original docudrama "The Deal" brought Giles Foden's "The Last King of Scotland" into Peter Morgan's orbit, though neither he nor the novel was A-list at that point. "Our collective heat was arctic," concedes the currently sizzling adapter of his own play "Frost/Nixon."
A prize can kick open the door as well. Eric Roth won the Samuel Goldwyn Writing Award in 1970 for an original road movie, which landed him Joseph Wambaugh's "The Onion Field." That road eventually led to the "Forrest Gump" Oscar, Oscar noms for "The Insider" and "Munich" (shared with Tony Kushner) and this year's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
All three are "kind of loosely adapted" from their source material, Roth says. "You get into these tricky areas of adaptation: Sometimes you can be more original with them."
In that sense, "experience — or success might be a better word — gives me the confidence to feel free to do the material in the way I think is best. … I've learned to distill in some way what the theme of the piece is — hopefully in keeping with what the author intended — and to be a dramatist in a visual medium."
Yet David Hare, an Oscar nominee for "The Hours" who adapted Bernhard Schlink's novel "The Reader," says that "the learning curve is actually U-shaped. Each one is worse until you learn to get better."
Beyond what he'd picked up after "40 years of being at it" (the writer's craft, that is), Hare learned "everything I know about adaptation" over daily breakfasts with helmer Louis Malle preparing Josephine Hart's "Damage."
"Every morning at 8:30 we'd have coffee and Louis would say, 'Tell me the story of the film. All over, from the beginning.' Day after day he'd make me tell the entire thing out loud, and question every bit as I went along. This went on for three weeks until he said, 'Now go off and write it.' Of course, by that point I was ready to smash a brass ashtray over his head."
"Doubt's" John Patrick Shanley is certain experience is valuable in adapting, citing a key scene in his own picture, in which Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) confronts the suspected-pedophile Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman): "I pulled every trick I learned in my entire playwrighting and screenwriting life to make that scene continue to play."
He has the nun open the blinds when asking "Which boy?," her action "suddenly blazing sunlight in his face, him getting the third degree." When he shuts them as if in rebuke, she then switches on a lamp: "It's a sort of second, nonverbal level of the argument." A ringing phone each refuses to answer becomes an insistent obstacle in counterpoint.
"There's a constant stream of those kinds of 'little big' events, that I learned from the theater and writing for film, to keep a scene alive."
Shanley says there is a danger, though, for a writer who gets too committed to adapting other people's stories.
"You can find yourself in a perpetual meeting," Shanley says. "Even when the other people aren't there, the meeting's in your head. … A guy can lose his way pretty easily."
Far better then, perhaps, to labor at one's own untested ideas. Finding the business "so cruel," Hare keeps returning to the stage, where "I know it will happen, and be done and seen all over the world." Morgan asserts, "As refined and subtle a challenge as an adaptation is, I still think it's better to do originals.
"An original has to be written on spec at some level. Holding off taking the money as long as possible is the best way, because it leaves you the most power. It leaves you uninterfered with, and the more uninterfered with, the purer the writing."

The initial challenge facing PON Automotive was straightforward—to implement Google Analytics on the Dutch website of one particular automotive brand. The complexities of the implementation coupled with the amount of time required for an effective completion proved frustrating so an alternative approach was sought. After evaluating and testing a number of tag management providers, PON Automotive selected Tealium. The deployment of the Tealium iQ™ tag management system allowed for the Google Analytics implementation to be resolved in just 30 minutes, but more importantly, it opened up a range of opportunities for PON Automotive to increase the sophistication of its digital marketing. Having successfully and swiftly implemented Google Analytics through Tealium iQ for one brand, PON Automotive saw the potential and rolled out the solution to all six brand websites. This also allowed them to successfully explore a host of initiatives with various vendors such as conversion tracking and re-marketing that further advanced their digital marketing.
From day one, PON Automotive enjoyed benefits from the Tealium solution. After implementation on their first managed automotive brand, they were able to track events and consumer behavior that not even the parent company could manage. The time required to deploy and manage all tags was dramatically cut from 3 months to a matter of hours, resulting in more accurate data being fed back to PON Automotive's integrated CRM system. IT costs were also significantly reduced as technical teams were free to focus on more strategic initiatives. Tealium iQ was further utilized to ensure re-marketing tags were compliant with Dutch data privacy regulations, a process that would have proved extremely complex and time consuming through manual techniques but simple and straightforward after implementation.

Lupe Fiasco vs. D.L. Hughley Over Right To Vote
Here we go again.
In the unlikeliest of Twitter beefs, rapper Lupe Fiasco is firing shots after actor D.L. Hughley called him out on the social site for discouraging the right to vote.
"Guess they've bn successful when 1 of leading voices of hip hop @LupeFiasco advocates same. I always thought hip hop was voice of voiceless," posted Hughley Monday afternoon.
The "Food & Liquor" emcee was quick to respond, "Yo @RealDlHughley I been following Koch for a while..tried to hip niggaz to ALEC niggaz more worried about me looking like whoopi…so now @RealDlHughley it's a little 2 late thinking voting gonna save people from THEMSELVES. most of the bills are written by corporations…its more ;pbbists in Washington DC than it is politicians. 50,000 at my last count..so who are we really voting for?"
They go on for a couple hundred more characters, with D.L. claiming that he is a fan of Fiasco's but "for a conscious young man to say he'll stay on the sidelines while the world burns….seems counter intuitive to me."
The final round went to Lupe as he wrote, "When you ready to drop that bread for these babies our here @RealDlHughley holla at me…til then @LeeMeAlone."

Gwyneth Paltrow 'will never seek Botox treatment'
Individuals considering Botox injections to smooth out their wrinkles could be interested in the latest comments from Gwyneth Paltrow.
In a recent interview with German OK! magazine, the stunning actress revealed she would never undergo the procedure in a bid to improve her complexion.
Reported by the Sydney Morning Herald, the 38-year-old Academy Award-winner also insisted that she would never indulge in "gimmicks of pure vanity".
However, the Iron Man actress revealed she would not rule out corrective surgery after breastfeeding, revealing "nothing else" could restore their natural condition.
Well-known for her intensive work-out regimes, the demure blonde revealed that excessive yoga training almost made her lose her feminine figure.
"I somehow lost my waist because of intense yoga training and became almost boxy, but with stretching and Pilates exercises I hit form again," she remarked.
She is set to feature alongside Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon and Kate Winslet in upcoming film Contagion, which will be released later this year.

Auto repairs
"What tools do I need for doing auto repairs, and what tasks should I start with?" is a question often heard by people wanting to start doing their own repairs.. It isn't easy to answer such a question, but I will try my best to do so in this blogpost.
What tools do I need
Even the best mechanic in the world, needs a set of tools. However, what tools do you need? I believe this can be defined by the three questions below.
What auto repair do you plan to do?
First of all, what auto repair do you plan doing? This is directly related to what tools you need. Thoroughly inspect the part itself, and area around it if possible before starting. A part is mounted to your auto using a variety of methods. Examples are bolts, nuts, glue, or hose clamps.
Googling the auto repair itself might also prove useful to find other people experiences. "What tools are needed for an oil change on my BMW E36 M3 with the S50B32 engine?" is a sentence I googled once.
Do you need to remove, or lift anything to gain access?
Some parts are mounted in such a way that removing other parts, or lifting is required. You can remove the bolts holding a wheel to the auto using a cross wheel spanner, but you require a car jack to remove and fit a new wheel.
What tools do you need if it doesn't work out as you planned?
Auto repairs doesn't always go as you planned. You almost always need to be prepared for the worst when working, and especially if you are dependent on your car. Rusted bolts may break its head off, and get stuck. Do you have the required tools to remove a broken bolt? Luckily though, this doesn't happen to often, and the smaller bolts are often removed using water pump pliers.
Do I have the required knowledge for this auto repair?
Some auto repairs are more difficult than others, and require different amounts of knowledge. Imagine the difference between doing an engine swap, and changing your tires. Research before starting the repair is an important step, and has saved a lot of money and time through the years. However, learning by doing is one of the best methods for acquiring said knowledge.
I strongly recommend researching how to correctly use the tools used in the auto repair, how the part you are replacing works, and how to put it all back together again. All of this can be learned during the repair, but all pre-acquired knowledge helps.
Lastly, leave it to a professional mechanic if you believe that something is above your knowledge level. Wrongly doing a repair could cost you alot of money, and be a danger to you and others around you. What if the brakes stop working after you wrongly "fixed" them?
What parts are needed?
The parts you need are the last piece of the puzzle required to do an auto repair. Getting stuck in the midst of the repair due to a missing part happens more than often. You might break a part during disassembly, or simply dont know all the parts that need replacing beforehand. Correctly identify all parts that need replacing before starting, and acquire them through an auto parts store or the wreckers.
Getting the correct part is an important step. If you want to be 100% sure, check the part number stamped on the part itself. However, this isn't always possible before disassembly. You should otherwise use the combination of car brand, year, engine, suspension, fuel and vehicle type(Sedane, pickup, etc) to find your part.
Should I replace other parts aswell?
Replacing related or nearby parts is recommended for future savings. A typical example of this is replacing the clutch, when you are replacing the gearbox. Removing the gearbox is a time consuming operation, and you might aswell replace the clutch along with it. Now of course, is the clutch looks like new, this is not needed.
Doing the auto repair
Now you need to complete the auto repair. It is quite simple when explained with words. Remove the broken part, and mount the new part in the reverse order.
Dont use to much force. If something seems stuck, it probably is. A slow moving bolt might have been inserted using the wrong angle, or have dirty threads. If a part is stuck, check that all mounting bolts and nuts have been removed. Cleaning dirt and rust using a wire brush and WD40 often helps.
Take a picture before disassembly. Remembering the exact location of a bolt, or wire can be hard. Taking a picture helps you put it all back together.
Sort removed parts in chronologically the way you removed them. This allows you to put them back together in the right order.
Pitfalls – If possible, research possible pitfalls. Some weeks ago I broke the bleeding screw on my brake caliper. "Hell, I'll just drill it out like I usually do!". Halfway through the drilling, I ate dinner. Luckily I got time to think during dinner, and researched the topic. Turns out that the oval shaped part of the bleeding screw is what prevents it from leaking, and I would have ruined the entire caliper by continuing the drilling by flattening the oval shape. A torx bit on a socket wrench, and a hammer solved the issue.
Im stuck. What to do now?
I cant even begin to count the amount of times I have gotten stuck mid repair. However, this usually gets solved. Googling your problem often gives valueable information, searching through online forums, Haynes manuals, and looking at parts diagram proves useful to check what the next step is. However, you might sometimes have to accept defeat, and contact a professional.
Im finished!
Congratulations! Still, there is some more work to do.
Check all the bolts – Are ALL of the bolts and nuts properly tightened? Even though you are 100% sure that you tightened that bolt, check it once more.
Test your repair – Check that it actually got fixed as intended. If you worked on your brakes, then check that they work properly afterwards.
Check for leaks – Check for any leaks of any kind after the testdrive. Maybe that one hose didn't get tightened properly?
General tips
ALWAYS use the correct tool if you have it at hand. A rounded bolt might might require 5 hours more work.
Do it once, and do it right.
If you get tired/mad, stop and take a break. I dont know how many parts I have destroyed when mad.
What is your best tip for the starter mechanic?
If you could go back in time, and tell yourself something regarding wrenching. What would it be?

Padlet is one of my favourite tools and I've used it successfully in a variety of ways: as a welcome / introductions page, to share recommendations / links - film trailers, books.... but this suggested using Padlet as a live response tool in class - an inspired idea.
I decided to put it into practice that morning and sent all my C1 class a Padlet link. I didn't actually use it to explore questioning, but instead used it to support what I'd already planned to do in my lesson. It worked really well and clearly enhanced learning by maximising participation - all groups were submitting answers and could check everyone else's - widening support and creating a more student centred approach.
The students seemed to really enjoy it too as it added another dimension. Two students were absent but had been sent the link so could potentially see what was happening in the classroom in real time.
Today I read another related blog post on giving students an open platform and increasing engagement in the classroom by Hope Morely - How to use Backchannels in the Classroom:

Custom designed mosaic
What is Pezzettini?
Pezzettini, which translates to "little pieces", are 10x10x4 mm tiles, from which we arrange personalized mosaics creating one of a kind decoration. We can use any photograph or graphic as an inspiration. There are no limits to size or colors and it always fits the space perfectly.
How does it work?
Pezzettini is all about freedom of choice and imagination. We can make any design idea come true in mosaic, but we also prepared few patterns that can be used to generate unique compositions with parameters of your choosing, like colors, size of elements and many others.
Pattern created with basic element in colors from choosen palette. You can even propose your own shapes and colors. Read more.
Realistic mosaic created by image-processing algorithms based on any photograph or graphic. Background can be separated and filled with other colorful patterns. This eye-catching work of art can be used like traditional tiles or as separate decoration creating interior design focal point.
Randomized mosaic of choosen colors. You can pick many shades and create unique composition.
Colors gradient. Choose size and colors, transitions, areas, orientation or just describe what you have in mind to our designer and we will create unique design. The pattern is planned to fit the whole surface, for example from floor to ceiling and from wall to wall so there is no empty spaces and no observable repetitions in the whole composition unlike in mass-produced tiles.
Horizontal or vertical stripes generated from choosen colors. Minimum and maximum lenght of each element is configurable and special algorithm guarantees beautiful randomness and that the pattern is unique and fits the whole surface perfectly.
