Review: '10 Rules for Sleeping Around' is a joyless sex farce
April 3, 2014
By Gary Goldstein
"10 Rules for Sleeping Around" is a dreadful sex farce with barely an authentic emotion, credible character or plausible plot point in its midst. This retrograde jumble from writer-director Leslie Greif is said to be inspired by the 1969 Ray Cooney-John Chapman play "Move Over, Mrs. Markham. " In updating that oft-performed door-slammer for the sexting era, Greif strains for raunchy hipness but ultimately can't mask the story's dated core. His portrayal of gay men alone is enough to brand this movie a relic.
Ohio, Virginia key in 2012 electoral battleground map
May 7, 2012
By Michael A. Memoli
It is of course no coincidence that President Obama's first two campaign rallies were in Ohio and Virginia this past weekend. In Ohio, you have the quadrennial bellwether, one of the most fiercely contested states in recent presidential history, and one that has voted for the winning candidate in every election since 1964. And in Virginia, you have what could be the decisive state in 2012, one that had been a traditional Republican stronghold until Obama turned it blue in 2008.

March 31, 2014
By Amy Hubbard
A Virginia couple has won top prizes in the state's lottery three times within a single month. Wow, what are the odds! The answer is: rotten. The odds of winning are rotten. But it's people like Calvin and Zatera Spencer, of Portsmouth, Va., who keep us playing the lottery. We know we'll never win. Then someone wins three times in a month. "I've been here for 12 years," Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty told the Los Angeles Times, "and this is the first time I've seen someone win three major prizes within such a short period of time.

She spent three decades in prison as the outside world moved on. Her children aged. Grandchildren were born. Friends passed away. Mary Virginia Jones, who was serving life without parole for murder, did not despair. She told visitors not to cry. An ordained minister, she preached to dozens every week at the interfaith chapel. She directed Bible services, led hymns and was sought out by those who asked for spiritual guidance. They called her "Mother Mary. " On Monday, she walked into a Los Angeles courtroom in a blue jumpsuit, her hands shackled behind her, her gray hair pulled into a taut bun. The 74-year-old calmly sat down and smiled at her attorneys.

A civilian shot a sailor to death aboard a destroyer at the Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia, then was killed by security officials, authorities said Tuesday. The suspect had permission to be on base, but it was unclear whether he had permission to board the Mahan, the destroyer that was docked at Pier 1, according to Navy officials.

Virginia ban on same-sex marriage is latest to be struck down
February 14, 2014
By Michael Muskal
When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down parts of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, it left unresolved whether couples of the same sex had a constitutional right to marry. Other courts, especially in Virginia and Utah, are filling that vacuum, setting the stage for the top court to go a second round on the issue. Virginia is the latest state in the fray after a federal judge struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional Thursday, arguing that the country has "arrived upon another moment in history when 'We the People' becomes more inclusive, and our freedom more perfect." In a 41-page ruling released late Thursday, District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen used language similar to that in legal decisions in a series of other states.
Virginia's gay marriage ban struck down by federal judge
February 13, 2014
By Connie Stewart
A federal judge in Virginia invalidated the state's ban on same-sex marriage late Thursday but stayed her ruling pending appeal. It was the latest victory for advocates of gay marriage: A day earlier, a federal judge struck down part of Kentucky's same-sex marriage ban , joining a string of similar rulings in conservative states that have put the future of the country's remaining bans in doubt. U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen in Norfolk ruled that same-sex marriage was a matter of fundamental fairness.
Another winter storm pummels Eastern Seaboard

By Alana Semuels and Richard Simon
NEW YORK - The sixth storm of a long, exhausting winter paralyzed residents up and down the Eastern Seaboard on Thursday as millions struggled with nasty commutes, widespread power outages, government closures, canceled flights and icy messes. More than a foot of snow fell in areas of Connecticut, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey one day after the storm battered much of the South. In a winter that has crushed many snowfall records, the latest storm heaved more grief onto shoulders weary of the relentless cycle of digging out and preparing anew.
Dustin Lance Black revisits his past in retooled 'Virginia'

By Nicole Sperling, Los Angeles Times
It was September 2010 and anticipation for Dustin Lance Black's directorial debut at the Toronto International Film Festival was running high. A year earlier, the "Milk" screenwriter had made a splash at the Oscars with his moving acceptance speech touching on the difficulty of growing up gay, transforming him into a hero for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Now, his Southern-set film, "What's Wrong With Virginia" - starring Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris - was unspooling in Toronto's special presentation section alongside the works of Danny Boyle, John Sayles and Clint Eastwood.

Gay-marriage battle unfolds in Virginia, Utah courts
February 4, 2014
By Michael Muskal
Utah has filed its opening salvo defending its ban on gay marriage, while in Virginia, a federal judge will hear arguments about that state's similar law in the latest legal maneuvering over the right for same-sex couples to marry. The separate legal actions are part of the growing number of court battles over what remains a sensitive issue since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down parts of the federal Defense of Marriage Act in June. That ruling, hailed as a major step by gay-marriage advocates, gave federal recognition to legally married gay couples and extended to them the same federal health, tax, Social Security and other benefits that heterosexual couples receive.

The EUROCONDOR project is studying an innovative therapeutic strategy using eye drops to combat diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness among working-age individuals in developed countries. Funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme, the 4 year project involves 17 partners across Europe. EUROCONDOR combines expertise in endocrinology, ophthalmology and basic research together with clinical trial knowledge and know-how in diabetes advocacy.READ MORE
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that arises when the pancreas does not produce any insulin, or not enough, or when the body cannot properly use the insulin it produces (known as insulin resistance). Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter the body's cells and transforms it into energy needed for daily life. Failure to produce insulin, or of insulin to act properly, or both, leads to high blood glucose levels. This, in turn, is associated with long-term damage to the body and failure of various organs and tissues.READ MORE
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease that occurs in people living with diabetes, which can ultimately lead to severe loss of vision and even blindness. DR is the most common complication of diabetes. Proliferative DR and macular oedema develop at more advanced stages. Proliferative DR occurs when abnormal blood vessels form in the retina in response to lack of oxygen. Diabetic macular oedema/edema (DMO/DME), is more frequent in type 2 than type 1 diabetes and involves leakage of fluid in the macula, the central part of the retina where central vision are located.READ MORE

Fans, Boyfriends, and Nastiness: New Music From Kanye, Nas, and Lil Wayne
Hear the new tracks.
Feeling at all down on this lovely Tuesday morning? Hopefully an abundance of new music from famous rappers will make you feel better.
Update: Def Jam has released a statement about the new Kanye track. They say:
The version of the Kanye West recording "Mama's Boy" that arrived on blog sites earlier this week is entirely bogus and unsanctioned, and violates the artist's creative intentions. As is often the unfortunate case, an unknown party or parties got a hold of Kanye West's vocal track and added their own soundbed to it, effectively and falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions. The result in no way resembles the final song Kanye West intended his fans to hear, and he is deeply disappointed that one of the most personal, meaningful and special songs he has ever written would reach people in this way. Needless to say, measures are being taken to identify and prosecute the persons responsible for leaking this material.
First up: Kanye West with "Mama's Boyfriend." As you may recall, 'Ye premiered the song a cappella at the Facebook offices, but it didn't make My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Originally, that felt right: With no beat, the raw-nerve lyrics were awkwardly on the nose, inappropriate for MBDTF's more nuanced feel. The finished, just-leaked version, though — which pairs young Kanye's pain with a swirling College Dropout–y beat (early versions sampled Billy Joel's "Moving Out") — makes much more sense. Which does lead you to wonder: What else was Kanye throwing away during the album sessions? NahRight suggests "Boyfriend" could end up on a deluxe album rerelease, so we might yet find out.
Next: Nas with "Nasty," the first single off his recently announced new album, Life Is Good. For a variety of reasons — namely: Nas's detour with the collaborative Damian Marley album Distant Cousins; the arguably unwarranted ambivalence that greeted his last solo album, 2008's Untitled; and his self-appointed position as the vanguard of hip-hop — a new Nas album isn't quite the cause for celebration it once was. (Also: Life Is Good? Really?) That doesn't mean his flow has gotten any less impeccable, though, and "Nasty" is another retro showcase of the skills. Over a mitigated boom-bap beat, Nas goes hard: "I come from the will of Ezekiel / to pop thousand dollar bottles of scotch / smoke pot / and heal the people."
And lastly: Lil Wayne with "Dear Anne," his long-rumored sequel to Eminem's "Stan." Wait, you're thinking, a sequel to another rapper's song? That's so weird. Yes it is! Meaning: Even if this doesn't quite live up to the merits of its inspiration, you have to give Wayne credit for continuing to push the boundaries of what is a normal thing to do on a rap song. By the way, RapRadar says this will not be on Tha Carter IV.
In conclusion: If any other famous rappers want to jump on the new music trend today, that is cool with Vulture.

White Paper: While Issuer Costs Fall, Merchants Continue to Pay Outsized Share of Debit Transactions
Jan. 26, 2015
Issuers' costs to process debit transactions have fallen 42 percent between 2009 and 2013, but the rate merchants pay banks to accept debit cards has remained far too high, despite Federal Reserve regulations implementing the Durbin Amendment in 2010 that put caps on debit interchange, according to a new white paper from the Merchant Advisory Group (MAG).
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a petition by merchant groups that would force the Federal Reserve to revisit the Durbin Amendment rule implementing a 21-cent cap on debit interchange. Since shortly after its approval, merchants have been fighting the rule which, they say, leaves the fees they pay banks on debit transactions too high compared to issuers' costs. According to the MAG white paper— Volume and Cost Trends in the Debit Card Industry —issuers' self-reported costs to authorize, clear and settle debit transactions have fallen to 4.4 cents per transaction while the regulated rate merchants pay on debit transactions is "around 25 cents."
The MAG is calling on the Fed, despite the Supreme Court's decision to remain uninvolved, to take a fresh look at the cost of debit transactions and how much is borne by merchants.
"The MAG and our members are hopeful the Federal Reserve will reassess the appropriateness of their existing debit card standards. Market forces are still not working properly in the debit card industry as demonstrated by a lack of reduction in the network-set rates below the maximum allowable level despite significant cost reductions by covered issuers in the past five years," said Mark Horwedel, CEO of the Merchant Advisory Group. "When a product or service that cost no more than a nickel or dime over twenty years ago—and has seen significant improvements in technology and increases in volume—skyrockets to almost ten times that amount, it should raise some eyebrows."

Those values in the code snippet should work fine. You really need to reduce that splash effect velocity though. Velocity of 200 and splash velocity of 10 should be fine.

Will The Phone Be the Most Boring Reality Show MTV Has Ever Produced?
Sadly, we don't see any other possible outcome.
UPDATE: We heard from MTV and the show was actually shot in January 2009 and will be debuting on April 21st at 10pm. With that in mind...
Lost in the shuffle of everything else that was going on during the premiere episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night was the main reason that Justin Timberlake appeared on the show (well, besides being total brahs with Fallon, that is). Even though he spent most of his time re-creating his stale impression of Andy Gibb, ostensibly Timberlake was there to plug the new MTV reality show that he's executive producing called The Phone. And by "new," we really mean "the one that's been sitting on the shelf since sometime last summer." Honestly, how terrible does a show have to be for MTV not to air it? From the looks of the clip, there's a strong to very strong possibility that it could be the most boring entry in MTV's sordid history of crappy reality shows.
The premise of the show, which was greenlit last spring and originally scheduled to air in the fall of 2008*, revolves around contestants who receive a spooky call on an anonymous cell phone that just happens to be in their immediate vicinity. The contestants then receive a series of instructions from a poor man's Jigsaw instructing them to complete some sort of The Mole meets Punk'd–type of mission, which we can only assume leads them to some sort of casting call in which they are forced to go on dates with a borderline age-appropriate bi-curious peer and their overbearing parents (it is MTV, after all).
Judging from the audience's reaction to the clip (which you can see below), nearly all of them seemed to believe the show was a comedy, when in fact it's intended to be some sort of adventure drama. And that's not good, considering everyone in the Jimmy Fallon audience last night was under 22. Also, it's worth stating that we liked the concept for this show better when it was scripted and called Push, Nevada. Then again, now that we think about it, we really hated that show, too. Regardless, this one looks worse.
*As far as we can tell (meaning: We combed Google and MTV.com and couldn't find a thing), the show still doesn't have an air date.

Culling Immigration Cases, Reducing the Backlog of Immigration Applicants to Canada
By Author: Admin | March 30, 2012
Immigration Canada's news release of March 30 2012 is couched in economic efficiency. The title ("Government of Canada transforms economic immigration program") mentions other economic benefits such as "…a fast and flexible immigration system that creates jobs and promotes Canada's long term prosperity."
It adopts a corporate globalized flair when it promises Canadians a, "just-in-time system that recruits people with the right skills to meet Canada's labour market needs".
In fact, this announcement is at the cost of the approximately 280,000 applicants who applied under the pre February 2008 system. They are promised a refund ("CIC will begin the process of returning the full amount of fees paid to the Department by these affected FSW applicants). However, the press release does not state that the interest accrued by the government will also be paid back to these applicants who have had their applications sitting in a government filing cabinet for eight years or longer.
The sentence, "To create a fast and flexible immigration system that creates jobs and promotes Canada's long term prosperity" is a lie; the system shall likely be transformed to cater to corporate-dictated short term economic needs. No effort is being made to use government levers to import workers who have skills to facilitate true long term economic development in growing such as in "green jobs".
The Minister of Immigration knows that there no domestic constituency who in local Canadian parlance "gives a crap" about foreigners being lied to by Canada's immigration department and misled about the process. There is no political downside to the Canadian government meting out harsh unfair measures to foreign nationals.
As such, the only course of action for those 280000 applicants whose cases shall be culled would be proceeding en masse to the Federal court of Canada for a mandamus application. In the best case scenario, this would lead to a temporary court order delaying the enactment of proposed legislation until the court decides whether the 280000 cases should be processed in accordance with fairness (i.e. in accordance with the law that was in effect when those 280000 people submitted their applications to Canada's Immigration department). The court would presumably agree that the actions of the government were unfair and would order that the cases be processed under the law that was in effect at the time such cases were first received.
The Minister of Immigration upon receiving notice of the federal court action by some of Canada's immigration lawyers will predictably call us part of "the immigration industry lobby" –obscuring the fact that lawyers' duties include the safeguarding of their client's legal interests. Similarly, he has in the past attacked the Federal court of Canada for doing its job – adjudicating on the process of government processes such as immigration decisions.
Although it is conceded that something should be done about the backlog, other options could have been considered such as accepting no new immigration applications until the old ones were disposed of (i.e. "first in first out"), adding more visa officers to deal with the backlog, or more bolder options such as offering work permits to select high skill workers (if the local labour market is not affected) who are already sitting in the backlog (which would acclimatize those motivated applicants to work in Canada).

I am SO excited to announce the release of my 3rd single 'Blood Brother' https://awal.lnk.to/4a4eG
Produced by Harry Tarlton
This one is about lost LOVE.
Blood Brother is a song about the correlation between light & Love. The idea that a beam of love can shine upon us, refracting our single light into glistening colours, making everyday life luminescent and vivid. There is also a sadness to this song, though they are tuned to the same frequency, they are polar opposites; their moments together are precious and short-lived before the inevitably bounce apart like magnets.
I truly hope you enjoy…

January 2018
Wishing you all a wonderful start to 2108…
Earlier this year I was approached by a director in LA who said he would love to create a music video for 'JUNK'… I am very excited to reveal his work.
Some words from Director Thomas Hinkamp:
'Every time I listening to the song I saw the same images again and again and I knew that I wanted to create the music video for it. The narrative took shape as I drove around Los Angeles listening to the song in my car. For me, this video is about the idea of freedom to be yourself without judgement or fear'
Love Always

Dear Reader,
My song 'Vivienne' has now been launched into the real world….
'VIVIENNE' https://awal.lnk.to/XmB8J
It's about the little voice in your head that can often lead you down a path of self-destruction, the struggle to find balance in times of vulnerability.
I made this video with the director by Jon Bilbourgh, we put our heads together to come up with a visual that would reflect the dual personality of the song. I hope you enjoy it…
Harry Wolfman has done a tasty remix now available on Spotify > https://awal.lnk.to/bNmyb
Thank you for all the amazing support so far…
Love Always

Chelsea Handler Attacks Another BLACK 'White Supremacist'
Chelsea Handler can't stop attacking black people.
She's already called Ben Carson a "white supremacist," and now she's attacking a black woman as a "racist" as well.
Handler is calling actress and conservative spokeswoman Stacey Dash a BLACK "white supremacist."
It's fair to note, she's also calling David Clarke a BLACK "white supremacist."
Why do these insane liberals think it's ok to name-call and harass black people because they have a different point of view?
It's sickening.
They do the same thing to women, whom they also supposedly "love and cherish."
From Breitbart
Chelsea Handler attacked Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson and other conservative blacks during Friday's episode of her Netflix show, putting them in "the most confusing group of racists."
The final segment of Chelsea saw Handler identifying different types of "racists" in the United States, namely "white supremacist, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and neo-confederates." Handler explained to her audience another group; "black people who think white people are better than them," labeling them "black white supremacists."
Among the so-called "black white supremacists" are Carson, conservative actress and model Stacey Dash, and former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.
"He's the only sheriff in the country who pulls himself over for no reason," Handler said.

American space tourist Richard Garriott is settling into life aboard the International Space Station and learning firsthand the lessons learned by his astronaut father.
Garriott, 47, is a computer game pioneer and the son of former NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, a two-time spaceflyer who visited the U.S. space station Skylab and flew aboard the shuttle Columbia.
It was while aboard Columbia in 1983 that the elder Garriott used a ham radio to call Richard from space, and this week the son returned the favor.
?I?m very excited, Dad, to be able to ham contact with you,? Richard Garriott radioed down to his father at Russia?s Mission Control Center outside Moscow this week. ?I think it?s an interesting and historical moment.?
Garriott is the first American second-generation astronaut, though he?s flying alongside the space station?s Expedition 17 commander Sergei Volkov, son of famed Russian cosmonaut Alexander Volkov. He is paying $30 million for his 10-day spaceflight under a deal between Russia?s Federal Space Agency and the Vienna, Va.-based firm Space Adventures.
?We?re having a very nice time up here and having a beautiful view of Russia right now,? Garriott told his father.
Garriott is the sixth paying visitor to the space station. He launched into orbit on Oct. 12 aboard a Russian Soyuz TMA-13 spacecraft ferrying two professional astronauts to the orbiting lab. Joining him on the trip were Expedition 18 commander Michael Fincke, of NASA, and Russian flight engineer Yury Lonchakov.
The spaceflying trio arrived at the station on Tuesday, with Garriott due to return to Earth on Oct. 23 with Volkov and Expedition 17 flight engineer Oleg Kononenko who are completing their own six-month mission. Fincke and Lonchakov are replacing the returning cosmonauts and joined NASA astronaut Greg Chamitoff already aboard.
?It was so much fun watching him look at Earth for the first time in the Soyuz on our way up,? Fincke said during a televised Thursday interview, adding that Garriott was quick to learn the fundamentals of eating, drinking and bathing in space. ?He?s picked up all the basics really quickly and I think he?s really enjoying his mission so far.?
On Friday, Garriott held a radio webcast with children at Challenger Centers across the country to answer questions as part of his educational campaign. He has packed his mission with a host of educational outreach events, science experiments and Earth observation targets.
Garriott told students that he did not suffer from motion sickness during his first taste of weightlessness after reaching orbit, but the lack of gravity did cause a fluid shift that gave him headaches at first.
?I?m finally beginning to adjust and I?m only about five days into my 10 days in space,? he said.
Garriott compared floating in weightlessness to the sensation of scuba diving, only without the water, and compared the spacious interior of the space station to the main cabin of a 747 jumbo jet. He is the first space tourist to visit the station since the addition new rooms and laboratories over the last year.
?Here on board, we?re kind of spread out,? Garriott told his father, adding that the extra room makes for comfortable sleeping arrangements.? Everybody kind of takes a module to themselves. ?We have a pretty sizeable room, and of course in zero gravity it?s very, very comfortable as you know.?
In addition to enjoying his spaceflight, Garriott is hard at work with this many science experiments and enjoying the camaraderie of his fellow astronauts.
?He seems to be having a great time and we?re having a great time hosting him up here,? Chamitoff said of Garriott. ?It?s been a lot of fun so far just to have six people on board and he?s very much part of the crew right now.?
Richard Garriott is chronicling his spaceflight training and mission at his personal Web site: www.richardinspace.com.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Far fetched but- here $50,000,000.00 LOL
Wells Fargo is as scummy as they get ... the list of infractions against customers will be a very long laundry list. Of course how pathetically low the fines are .. 50 mill is nothing for them ... the whole crooked corporation needs to be shut down and burned.
Couldn't agree more. Remember barney Frank gets a piece of the AMC business. Dianne Feinstein's husband got the contract from OBAMA to liquidate the Post Offices and no bids were ever taken. Any thoughts on the commissions?? Now Warren conveniently has law firm contributions made to her? Hillary of course should be indicted and the group locked up for lying to the FBI.(just for starters). Wasn't it that Washington was supposed to be our public servants not the other way around?

A representative payee is a person/agency appointed by Social Security that receives and manages your money for you. This person will see that bills are paid on time and help with managing and budgeting your money. A payee can receive Social Security income, Supplemental Security Income and other funds on your behalf. A representative payee keeps informed about the beneficiary's needs so that the representative payee can decide how benefits can best be used for his/her personal care and well-being. A representative payee will keep Social Security informed of changes that may affect the beneficiary's eligibility for benefits.
Note: The difference between Guardianships and Representative Payee is that Representative Payees only handle a client's social security or supplemental security income benefits; they are appointed to the case by Social Security. A Conservator handles other benefits like pension checks, house, bank accounts, CDs, stocks/bonds, etc. and is appointed through Probate Court.
Q. How much do you charge?
A. The fee is set by Social Security; the current rate is $38 per month. If your disability is drug and alcohol related, the fee is 10% of your monthly benefit. Social Security also requires a doctor's statement if this is the first time a person has had a payee; if it's a transfer of payee to us it is not required.
Q. How do I make a referral?
A. You can call our office directly and make a referral or you can call Social Security and they can make the referral.
Q. How long does it take to have your agency appointed representative payee?
A. That depends on how long it takes Social Security to process the application. Usually if we get the referral by the 10th of the month, we can get the next month benefit check. Social Security also requires the client to sign an Advance Notification of Representative Payee before the application can be processed.

The December SF Site has been posted, and includes my review of Mister Boots by Carol Emshwiller, easily one of the best books I've read so far this year*, even though I don't tend to get much from books aimed at the young adult market, and even though I've been disappointed with some of Emshwiller's recent short fiction.
There are lots of other things at the site as well, including Jeff VanderMeer on Philip Roth, Rich Horton on Anna Tambour's first novel, a review of MirrorMask and its accompanying illustrated script, and two reviews of the new Harry Potter movie.
*Lest you think it odd that I say "so far" this year when every newspaper in the world seems to be publishing their "best" lists already, I have to say that I'm a bit behind in 2005 reading, but that I'm catching up as fast as I can, because I have assignments to write an article on best books of the year and another on best short stories, so in the coming weeks will be reading nothing but work from 2005 -- the piles have already stacked themselves in the apartment and are threatening to bury me, but I will persevere, and I will triumph, by gawd, I will!

I happened to be driving and then the engine warning lamp came on, the car had a rough idle but when driving it was okay, it seemed a little under powered though. Later in the day the light just went off on its own and the car seems fine now though, I just wanted to confirm what this error is

BOSTON -- Just before Danny Amendola led his teammates into the dining area of Towne Stove and Spirits for his annual Celebrity Waiter Night, he was asked for a scouting report on one of his teammate's capabilities as a server.
"Probably wine everywhere," Amendola said matter-of-factly, referring to tight end Rob Gronkowski.
At least the meals won't be spiked, though, right?
"I can't promise that," Amendola answered. "But I told him to behave tonight."
Moments later, Amendola and several of his teammates kicked off the event -- Amendola's third Celebrity Waiter Night in Boston -- by signing autographs, taking pictures, and helping to auction off some in-demand items. In all, $210,00 was raised for Amendola's Catches for Kids Foundation, which aims to improve the lives of low-income children and families in need.
"The most rewarding part is just to see the kids' faces when they get to meet my teammates or come to training camp, or we go to Walmart and get them supplies and things like that," Amendola said. "It's rewarding to meet the kids and to know that we can actually help them. It's fun."
Amendola and Gronkowski were joined by teammates Tom Brady, Julian Edelman (who went without the walking boot he's been seen wearing since undergoing offseason foot surgery), Martellus Bennett, Jimmy Garoppolo, Chris Hogan, Chris Long, Brandon Bolden, Ryan Allen, Chris Harper and Joe Vellano.
Brady took an active role in helping to auction off two signed jerseys for over $4,000 as the winners also received signed footballs thrown to them from across the room by the Patriots quarterback. When one winner dropped his, Brady sent Gronkowski over for an impromptu receiving lesson.
Amendola was at Brady's Best Buddies Football Challenge earlier this month, and he also participates in Long's Waterboys Initiative. He explained that it's no surprise to see so many teammates show up for events like his on Monday.
"We do a lot for each other, whether it be on the football field or whether it be in Boston and giving back to each other's foundations," he said. "We love to support all we can. That's ultimately why we play."
He added: "We're really good friends. We spend so much time together, and we love one another. We're family members. To support them and to give back to their foundations, what they love to do is important just as it is to workout out together and try to play good football. To give back to the community and be a staple in the community has always been our No. 1 goal. That's why we're here."

text: The O'Connor Sports Center is Xavier University's recreational and intramural sports complex. MSA provided design services for renovations based on National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) guidelines. The ultimate goal of the project was to provide better function and usability which included upgrades to the appearance and character of the interior of the building. Exterior building upgrades were generally limited to landscaping, lighting and signage. The primary interior renovation included the lobby, the gymnasium and a fitness area that encompasses weight training, aerobics, cardiovascular training, nautilus. A exterior wall of the new weight area was created on the main level of the building. The exterior wall of the new weight area was opened up with a large expanse of glass to provide substantial day lighting as well as to create greater feelings of openness and connection. As a result, the center became more welcoming, open and active.

The U.S. Postal Service determines insurance rates according to the sender's declared value of the item, reports USPS. The maximum insurance liability for postage items is $5,000 as of 2015. Some postal services include a small amount of insurance in the postage price.Continue Reading
Priority Mail service includes complementary insurance of up to $50, and Priority Mail Express includes insurance of up to $100, explains USPS. For additional insurance as well as insurance for First Class Mail and Standard Post Media Mail, USPS uses an insurance chart whose rates rise in increments. Some qualifying standard mail items are eligible for bulk insurance rates. USPS labels all insured items with forms and bar codes based on their value. Mail that is ineligible for postal insurance includes commercial items that customers did not order, items too fragile for safe mailing, and items that are not safely packaged.
When buying insurance, senders must declare the value of items accurately, because if they need to file a claim for loss or damage, they must show proof of value, advises USPS. This can be the original sales receipt or invoice, paid bills for repair, or credit card bills. Additionally, the customer must retain the original mailing receipt or outer packaging that proves that the sender insured the item. The USPS prefers that customers file insurance claims online, but they can also send claims by mail accompanied by USPS Form 1000.Learn more about Mail & Shipping

A Tiny History of Visual Basic for Applications
BASIC has more than 20 years of history as a computer programming language. The name says it, it is "basic" and it is something like speaking with your computer. Later on BASIC evolved into Visual Basic, which you can use to design interfaces with your mouse. Meantime, Microsoft tailored Visual Basic to work with its Office suite and called it "Visual Basic for Applications", which VBA stands for. In this article, we will touch the basics to give you a small step in getting going with your VBA programming experience. Even just a little knowledge of VBA can give a real boost of efficiency when working in Excel and other Office applications.
- slide 2 of 9
Getting Started with Visual Basic for Applications
Opening the VBA module is the same in all Microsoft Office programs, but I will choose Excel because we will have as much flexibility as we want with the calculations.
Let's go step by step from opening a blank workbook. Open up Excel. If you did not play with the preferences, you should have Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3. You can start the VBA module by going through Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor or simply hitting Alt + F11. Now, we have our worksheet open and our code window. As you see, the window is split into three: at the top there are the menu and icon bars, on the left your VBA Project and on the right the code window. On the left pane you see "VBA Project(Book1)" and then "Microsoft Excel Objects." Our default worksheets are listed as "Sheet1(Sheet1)", "Sheet2 (Sheet2)" and "Sheet3 (Sheet3)." On the right, at the top you see two dropboxes: (General) and (Declerations). We will get to each one in a minute.
You do not need to stick with the default naming scheme of course. If you rename your file (your Excel workbook) to something else, such as "My_Workbook" and save, you will see that on the left pane VBA Project(Book 1) changes to VBA Project(My_Workbook). The same way, if you rename the worksheets, the changes will be applied to the Sheets under Microsoft Excel Objects. Let's rename Sheet1 to Calculations, Sheet2 to Detailed_Reports and Sheet3 to Summary_Report. On the left pane in Visual Basic Editor, you will see that Sheet1(Sheet1) has changed to Sheet1(Calculations), Sheet2(Detailed_Reports) and Sheet3(Summary_Report.) However, if you switch back to your workbook and change the order of the worksheets, for example move Summary_Report to the left of the Calculations, the Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3 notation will not change. The notation has an advantage: you can refer to the sheets as you name them. You do not need to say "Sheet1" in your code, go with "Calculations."
Regarding the two dropboxes, there is such a thing as declaring variables in programming. I will try to keep things as simple as possible here, and open things up where necessary, to avoid losing you in the article. There are two types of variables: global and private. Global variables will be available in all modules in the code, whereas Private variables will only be available in the module it is defined under.
Also, there are the Sub and Functions. These are the two sections of code that perform a specific action. Function returns a value and Sub does not. We will come back to that later.
Read on for more details on Global Declarations, our first excel VBA application and making calculations.
- slide 3 of 9
We continue our article to build a solid base to understand the Microsoft Excel VBA Basics. Now we are getting our hands dirty and begin some programming. We write a small program code to open another Excel file when we open our workbook.
- slide 4 of 9
Global Declarations
Bringing it all together with the "Global" "Declarations", you define variables and requirements that will be used in all the program. For example, if you say "Option Explicit" in Global Declarations, you must define each variable and type in the code. Failing to do so will return an error. Another example could be to define a = 5, which means that in all your code, Excel will assign 5 to the variable a. Summing up, the global declarations will be used in both Subs and Functions.
- slide 5 of 9
Getting Our Hands Dirty: Our First Excel VBA Workbook - Open Another Excel File
Now I will assume that we have a workbook in which we want to open another notebook saved on our computer. (I will stick with the notation of My_Workbook as the filename, Sheet1 renamed as Calculations, Sheet2 as Detailed_Reports and Sheet3 as Summary_Report.) When we open My_Workbook.xls, it will go to the "My Documents" folder and select the "Expenses" sheet and open it.
Go to the left pane, and double click on "This Workbook" in the left pane. In the right, make sure that "Workbook" and "Open" are selected. If not, select them. Now Excel will automatically insert the following code piece:
Private Sub Workbook Open()
End Sub
What Excel tells us is this: "I have opened a private sub for you. This is a sub, it will not return any value. It is private and what you do here will not affect the overall code. I have named this to Workbook_Open() so that when you open this file, I will know what I must do."
Now, we will say that we are interested in Workbooks and we will open a file called C:\My Documents\Expenses.xls. (We must give the full path of the document to avoid any problems in the future.)
OK. We will proceed and insert our code as follows:
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:\My Documents\ Expenses.xls"
See? It is not any different from speaking to your computer.
Closing the filename is easy. Make the workbook which you want to close "Active" and then close it. In our example:
Read on to find out more about making calculations and assigning codes to buttons.
- slide 6 of 9
We carry on our article to build a solid base to understand the Microsoft Excel VBA Basics. We are now seeing another small piece of code that takes values from a worksheet, multiplies them with one another and then sums them and writes the values in different cells. As an added bonus, we add a button which, when clicked, performs all the calculations that we have coded.
- slide 7 of 9
Making Calculations - It Doesn't Get Any Simpler Than That!
Let's switch to the "Calculations" worksheet. Now, type "Value 1" to A2, "Value 2" to A3, "Product" to A5 and "Sum" to A6. In B2, we will enter the value of "Value1", in B3 the value of "Value 2" and we will make Excel calculate the sum and product automatically, and write the result of the product to B5 and sum to B6.
To do this, we first go to the Visual Basic Editor and right click on the "Microsoft Excel Objects" and select Insert -> Module. Under the tree structure, you will see "Module1." Now go to Insert at the menu and select "Procedure." Make sure that "Sub" is selected under "Type", "Public" is selected under "Scope" and "All local variables as Statics" is unchecked. Type something under the "Name" box as you prefer. I chose "Calculate."
Between the Public Sub Calculate() and End Sub enter the following code:
Range("B5").Value = Range("B2").Value * Range("B3").Value
Range("B6").Value = Range("B2").Value + Range("B3").Value
If you are with me so far, you already saw that we have selected the "Calculations" sheet and defined values for the cells. It is important that you use the .Value notation, otherwise "Range" may return text, which means that you may end up with two numbers put together instead of being added; the sum of 3 and 5 may return 35 instead of 8.
After this point, it is up to you to enter as many calculations as you want. At this point, I suggest you assign variables to cell values to save typing time. For our code, it is better to go like this:
Value_1 = Range("B2").Value
Value_2 = Range("B3").Value
Range("B5").Value = Value_1 * Value_2
Range("B6").Value = Value_1 + Value_2
Homework: Go for a more complex sheet with more calculations.
- slide 8 of 9
Getting "Visual": Assign a Button to Your Code
Building on our previous notation, we will add a button to our worksheet, which upon click will call our "Calculate" function.
Switch to the Excel main window and right click on the toolbar and select "Forms." A new toolbox will appear. Select "Button" and click and drag to place your button to where you want it to appear. When you relieve your click, a window will appear to ask you which macro you want to assign to the button. Select "Calculate" and click "OK." That's it! After that when you click on the button your code will run.
Homework: Change the default "Button 1" name to something else. Change your code to divide the numbers and write the results to the B7 cell.
- slide 9 of 9
It is very easy to get going with macros in the Microsoft Office suite. In the article we have just taken the baby steps to have Excel VBA basics explained. Having a solid base, you can now go on to build on top of this information.

Long-term care in old age: An overlooked need
In a recent meeting of HelpAge network affiliates and partners, we discussed the issues of long-term care and care towards the end of life. From our discussions, it seemed clear that long-term care in old age is a sometimes overlooked and under-developed area of medical care and policy thinking.
The end of life is just as significant as any other chapter of life and the journey towards it needs to be supported by adequate long-term care.
Long-term care is essential in dealing with many common health conditions, such as strokes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, injuries including falls and fractures, and diseases of the vital organs.
Ageing and the increasing need for long-term care
The issues of long-term care are becoming critical as the number of the "oldest old" (people over 80) is consistently on the increase. This rapid ageing is not just happening in developed countries, such as Japan, but also in less developed nations, such as India and China.
Important consequences of this are that, firstly, the ratio between "older adults" and the "older old" is changing and therefore more people are in need of long-term care.
And secondly, the "oldest old" group is predominantly women. Older women are therefore facing their final years in many cases on their own and potentially requiring more long-term care.
Critical aspects of long-term care
There are many critical aspects of long-term care, including:
- preventing debilitating diseases through early screening and intervention,
- strengthening community support services,
- fostering family relationships and bonds,
- creating and strengthening care givers' skills and knowledge.
Financial cost of care
The comparison between long-term care provided within the communities and in institutional settings has been made often - with benefits and downfalls on both sides. The evidence, however, reveals that care provided in institutional settings is at least seven times costlier, although the levels of health and care experienced are very similar.
The financial implications of this are huge in a global economic environment with shrinking resources for health. In order to support long-term care, proper planning and policy reforms are needed.
Needs assessments within communities and a means of identifying affordable and effective ways of delivering care are crucial. Innovation and diversification of services, advancement of knowledge and technology will also have important roles to play.
Other ways forward could be to implement more self-care projects or even think of and advocate for nationalised insurance plans to covering long-term care.
The need of long-term care is only going to grow from here. It is a need that can not be overlooked.

Your comments
David, thank you for commenting. Most cntiles want to stay at home as long as possible.The only ways that we can do that are:1) Be lucky enough to have a well spouse or other family member that is willing and able to care for you without killing or injuring themselves in the process (maybe set up a caregiver agreement here);2) Have saved enough money to pay for that in-home care at a very high price each month (assuming you do not have the goal of leaving that money to be used in the well spouse's retirement or left to children);3) Have a solid long term care insurance policy in place; or4) Qualify for something like Ohio's PASSPORT program (provided through Medicaid), which will provide in-home care (but not round-the-clock) to qualifying seniors.Clearly the least stressful on the family and easiest to set up is the LTCI. It's a very important issue for everyone to at least consider, in my opinion.

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
One of my favorite parts of visiting New York is that Marci always sends me home with a generous armful of beauty products to try. As any beauty editor will tell you, it's impossible to hoard every product that comes across your desk, so it makes sense to give away as much as you can. That said, there are some things that I personally can never part with, no matter how cluttered my vanity gets, and at the very top of that list is lipstick.
I have so many lipsticks to try right now (THANKS MARCI, YOU'RE CRAZY TO PART WITH THEM) and I'm excited to spend my entire weekend putting each shade on, taking a million selfies, and then wiping it off before trying on the next. It's a very fitting way to spend the weekend considering it was just National Lipstick Day.
Pictured above we've got lipstick from Urban Decay, Kat Von D, Sephora + Pantone Universe, Maybelline, Tyra Beauty, bareMinerals, and Bite Beauty. I have a feeling that those pastel Pantone Modern Watercolor Lip Gloss shades are going to look terrible on me, but there's a very '90s Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick shade called Molasses that I'm already completely in love with.
(Funny story: when I uncapped Molasses, my boyfriend said "Ew!" at the same time that I said "Oooh!" So we can put brown lipstick on the list of things that boys just don't get.)
Now it's time for Comments of the Week!
1. "BettyBoop" mentioned one of my favorite out-there lipstick names:
Maybelline has one called Constant Toast and I don't know why I find it so funny but I do
2. "originalrjc" shared a great hack for using Lush Shower Jelly:
I have Whoosh! I love using it when I'm hungover or just sleepy from an all nighter and need a jumpstart. I like to wrap a chunk into a washcloth so it lathers nicely and doesn't jump away from me.
3. "UniqueUsernamesAreOverrated" gave some helpful advice for those of us trying to grow strong nails:
I love the opi file! Regular nail files would leave behind snarls of nail underneath my nails instead of filing them cleanly off. Also, I just gotta bring this up. I had the weakest flimsiest nails ever for years. Tried everything in the book to make them thicker/stronger. Was diagnosed with a B2 deficiency which affects your hair and skin (and therefore your nails too). My nails are already getting stronger (will probably be great when the flimsy ones grow out). Happy dance.
4. "nooneputsbabyinthecorner" made me realize that fancy packaging for all of my budget beauty products is within my reach:
I use a generic sweet almond oil that I buy from Bulk Apothecary online, but I put in a pretty blue glass dropper bottle that I bought for like $5 on Amazon because I must feel like a fancy bitch at all times.

FunThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Stacie5 months ago
My daughter loves her scooter. We walk to school and she loves the exercise she gets from the scooter. They warned us about getting hit in the shin if/when we carry it since someone had turned one in the day before - we've had it over a month and she uses it every day to school with no problems. She loves it!
Excellent buyThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.CWhitnMB5 years ago
I recently purchased a large quantity of these to use at a gift giveaway for children in need. They were a HUGE HIT!! (I also purchased one for my 6 yr old daughter who LOVES it!!) It's well made, sturdy and adjustable....it's money well spent! Also, equally important...the shipping options were very reasonable, customer service called w/in 5 mins to make sure I really wanted 73 scooters and then they followed up numerous times to make sure I was aware the order was being broke up since ... there were some delays due to a large storm from their TX facility. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! (Wish a few big box places could take some lessons from these guys!!)

Cute scooter, but there is no brake!This reviewer rated product 3 out of 5 stars.TrishM082 years ago
We chose this scooter to give our son for Christmas after quite a bit of research on specs. The most important thing we were looking for was one with a brake because we have a steep driveway. This one is described twice as having one. So we drove nearly an hour from our home to buy one and put it up until Christmas eve. Then we put it together....and desperately tried to figure out how the brake worked. Were we missing a piece? What was wrong? Then we read it in the booklet. There is no ... brake...in all caps. Huge disappointment. The description is flat wrong, but it was too late to take it back at that point. This was the only thing our three year old wanted for Christmas. THE ONLY THING. We are looking for another to replace this and I plan to formally complain to Academy Sports and Huffy. It's still a cute scooter, but if having a scooter with a brake is as important to you as it was to us, keep looking.
