Sorkin Speaks!
Aaron Sorkin penned a letter to his young daughter and his former wife, apologizing for what his country had just done. Here's a portion of that note:
(Read the rest here.)
So what do we do?
First of all, we remember that we're not alone. A hundred million people in America and a billion more around the world feel exactly the same way we do.
Second, we get out of bed. The Trumpsters want to see people like us (Jewish, "coastal elites," educated, socially progressive, Hollywood…) sobbing and wailing and talking about moving to Canada. I won't give them that and neither will you. Here's what we'll do…
…we'll fucking fight. (Roxy, there's a time for this kind of language and it's now.) We're not powerless and we're not voiceless. We don't have majorities in the House or Senate but we do have representatives there. It's also good to remember that most members of Trump's own party feel exactly the same way about him that we do. We make sure that the people we sent to Washington—including Kamala Harris—take our strength with them and never take a day off.So, echoing something I said the morning of November 9, in the best West Wing tradition: "What's next?"

In the definitive "cult classic," sweethearts Brad and Janet find themselves stuck with a flat tire during a storm, only to discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters as Dr. Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky." That sweet transvestite and his motley crew did the Time Warp on Broadway in a 25th anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience, glow sticks, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever. If your idea of great musical theatre begins and ends with "The Sound of Music," you'll probably hate it and should stay away. If your favorite "holiday" of the year is Halloween...well, then, you're already a fan. Parental Advisory: This show may not be appropriate for all ages. Discretion advised.

They have a bit of a doping situation where they Olympics. They are in South Korea. Well. Yeah I wouldn't take a weird name. Bespoke blow before a nuts and soul no no. And aware and saying no they spell weird. Everybody knows all year and stop going eagle. Eagle and why ignore him. Syrians. No he's not serious about the problem. He's hiding behind a might as this time it was his Yung Chang. I believe in relation to be yet. Okay. I'm a. Yeah. I champion home. Some close to a team just as soon be customization shop. Begets the other house about four modification in town he called them up. 7865023446. And a champion former Ford dot com in my heat off again tonight. As they will take on the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow. Cavaliers on the top. Well that are row last night. Dwyane Wade nine of thirteen to 44 points. One of two from downtown. He is now smoking just as when loan percentage on Rupert. Pastor. I mean I had to be one of the dumbest bits. You have ever made like the route I mean permanent. I mean but. There has been no. Move we made a bet that Winslow could actually sure to our. Here's the thing that tied for made. Swindles got a lot more misses. Would those got a lot more misses the bulls have ten on the year. Mean no you row with a total rates oh yeah this is like a slot and or. What is it the sly. I'm only when it raids hang in on the board. Every time about what slug BB. I think it's news. I saw Erik Spoelstra come out and he's again like you know reckless justice is doing a lot of things out there another sue is going on dislike. We don't sounds like when you go Lil. Yeah. Well. As and is this morning rioting just is when's really needs his own statistical category of dislike. Kings. This is so you can avoid saying that he's Manning got an idea how it. Guess what. It's hard. To not help woods Lorena and wait your he leaks or does lets us. It was this summit Stephen Ross in the all the first class organization at Everest in everything except on the football field. Sit Oz that's a lot of quotes. I've but it Bubba Bubba in fairness to him. I'm top not really in the Michigan. How. Organization than it means that all resources are available. To be good right. OK so he adds that there is no expense that he is not willing to its end. To have eight top notch organization. They just can't put it together and be. He says quote they're exposed John does as Winslow we've been would've been riding is to make your presence felt right from the outset and every cent of the game. He has a way of doing a lot of fit of doing that a lot of different ways that don't necessarily just have to be about scoring. Except you just edit game we scored 79 points. Just as Winslow says quote I'm not satisfied on the play a lot of times than you can do better but I'm still doing good things out that news coming in all. You know fat and sassy actually fit in sassy immediate and as they got out Winslow Coetzer. Culture or my golf cool. Still it when he came in during media day I felt like he he was on a next level like he knew something about his game that week and now I've felt. IQ is gonna shoot an awful lie right that day at the field that's exactly I had the same feeling. Well he. Voice is a lot of things. That have the confidence of Dion Waiters but he doesn't play within the let's play that very confident. EL ID and you can't fake it sounds like justice says things to get mince himself. Would Deion you know it's genuine he's don't doubt the ship. If it's if it's one pretend like he says I'd rather be one for thirty I'll go down shooting Orton just just just shall be. You know doesn't get hesitant dozens more won't shoot just so we under the rim and he won't finished. You know those that those of the things were you dislike I he's not really a guy with with unbreakable confidence on May be he his mouth right Texas. He does intend to even really rated chick I didn't get the feeling he got way image and it was in hockey and never say. You know what. Home score more or is this you know he ever really put out dearly. Remember I remember Tim Bradley who and one day a themes room. Have. Gotten him out pretty well I can buy out right back to him after because here's the thing Tim Bradley he lost he he he won a decision over many occupants one of the biggest robberies in the history of boxing. And after the fight goes. To go back and look at the tape. And then go on these press stores and Tim rather be the if you're really watching again with the sound off. You can really you can make the case that I won and that it was more more more you talk about I don't know outlook that flight. I don't know what you guys talk about medic got to the point where it was like I'm getting as many pocket is like common knock them out. And I don't so well for so it would slow it feels like. It's always. Talking himself up more and more and more it's just like you kind of got away with what made people follow with a in the first place. Like just Winslow does he was relentless on defense he was nineteen years old order against the TA player on defense. One small caveat today. We like him because he was young and we always thought that all that other stuff would improve. Right this scoring. Shooting. All that. No do you feel a little different. When he's not dole and other things as well and he's still not able to shoot. Yet the things that it is feels like the other stuff is taking its hole on everything went last year you want John chalk it up to health per share. He was an alpha male like me talk about leisure Osama the first right. Even even the first year stop it feels like that stuff is has waned a little bit and maybe that's because your judge economic curve. Because justice Winslow is now. It really is a second full should be a second full year whose mom put the expectations that. He's got to be locked down he's got to be able to do to do all those things and you don't use Sammy offs on a real force in the transition unanimously. You have a yellow lobster claws for hands menu got that you guys you got the touch of a fit the crowd. Isn't it weird it's weird no I mean any. Thing in basketball. Every choirs touch. He's not good no. No solid as Lamar lawman. Could this crate I may explain this to you. Right enough said this before. There's a fine line. In promoting your keen. In hindering your kid. And what he has done why everybody's it was cute and SG should do for your kid it. Would makes it unique it would makes it different what makes it hard for me to deal with is the fact that. I mean everybody in the NBA. It's trying to bury his son. Not because. Of what his son is doing were saying. Because of what it is seen him you call that motivation. But he is not responding. Listened sort. Ever period you know. Our. My bag down a little bit yes but you'll at least Alonso is in the NBA. Just there the worst thing to be called let's put to rest in a light. If you wanted to it's worse late east did you see would have with the other son. So it pulled as others and at UCLA opinion he's just gonna grids he's like oh I'm on I'm gonna coach him study is art directors and I I think coach. I'll lake loop Walt is not a coach my son I can get winning out and right. Exhumed the lakers coach which. So that I I'm gonna go to the character of if it's it's him being Lamar ball move the wrestling heel the character. But actually pulls his son at a school loans auto we're gonna get him ready for the NBA draft. And it George Ozzie comes out he's like. I had GM Sami Annan this any scouting list on the extended scouting list. When people think he'd be a decent player on amid on amid college program school. And the idea that he's gonna be one and other. I mean this is not the case. I mean it's it's predictably he's like a man like I have kids. In and I wanna be as supportive as I can with the main thing I wanna do is Dade the collider. Let him be who they. Let it be that type of young man and young woman that they're gonna in Adobe. And if they need my hope to assist in any way I can't. I don't know that to be out here almost like taken. You know that opportunity away from them. And that's what he's good. At having. A lot of well sounds like now. No. He's got to her. Why is everybody responded to him. Like he's which insurer. Everybody who's unto me son. We don't wait it uncle in no way plea deal on. The big basketball out and give an example to embarrass him led into the game again and again I don't. Haven't been. Doing nuggets. I don't it. I guess I don't have as big problem would lawns and occasional model can still take step into his own hands on the court at least he's there but you do Wednesday. But the thing that I that the that this is the first step with a lot Lamar. I've really looked at them like. C'mon man don't don't buy into your gimmick that. I like our night you know that and thank you actually look at the kid who's not good enough to be in the NBA and take collagen which is what you thought. Here's where you were wrong. You thought that at some point this clown was gonna be self oh way. He never ever. Did see his thing I think. For this part of me that is always the oval marble think it's an act like he should be had to his own gimmick. He still have to be self aware right it's easier. It's easier to be the clown like. I think it's easier if you Lamar ball he can be declined to say oh he's crazy things about love is going to be in the NBA. He's he's clearly got the talent if you don't you show we get that number to use the problem. OK I don't care what level of basketball player you are unless you're LeBron. Or freak of nature like dad. Most of the time when these young kids get into the NBA. They need a couple of years of of it yet okay. Is being dead end. And because this is what is a habit it's worse for younger brother when the other brilliant and we live in college okay good good it's well because his. Younger brother witnessed some of it all day. No he Qaddafi got suspended indefinitely. And and that's it by the way just to should be is 2000 absolutely. Absolutely you eat you heard. It went. In all of these situations. A parent. Has become an injury. Not a health. To lose. It and and so while everybody was left and at the client. What everybody will lead for now show. How wasn't because look at that Alonso and looking at Leah vigil low weight and that is the Golan. Or. They're all happy about. Blew so. All. And WD. It never happens usually. Parent in the sun or semi. Didn't want because this. Can now go out there and you know hey what do. Yet again league that's not so I guess some IA and I don't know why I like a light. Some chicanery and elect some promotion. And some build up but I but at least. At least I like it when I know there's a back up to. A lot a lot les lovable Odom got a guaranteed contract and he's going to be making a living. OK don't don't don't don't think you can do that I don't boxing road don't guy with my good you can turn anybody went and. But here's the difference. In boxing. You're botching put that big title fight at one big payday. OK and supports. You're playing for eight rear. You try to position yourself to be six outs all NBA basketball player you're treating the situation. Like a title by. Like okay this guy is guaranteed contract meant recent draft and thank him. Civic out of the yes didn't hurt that. Yeah it. Well but at least for Alonso lately Angelo the idea that he's not you are gonna get a career. Not a good is that it be in school was it just took about a school is gonna go play in someplace in Europe some core of the earth. Someplace for where Hassan Whiteside was all in Lebanon. Enjoy eating if they go eleven on him like a bubble now in. Their bonds CO Riordan both committees and now all of this next. And Google. Look back and still there could be here with you on what's yours and enjoy my. All right we'll see. Has talked about GOP. Can't get back for the first time since 04 years yes as it played Florida State and Vijay had an amazing thing bond oh that's right yup that's right it was an odd it's big on the Larry Coker man. The deal and I was on the safety it's a little bit of Stanton news as far as details of what the giants are offering this currents from Sears exempt Craig mission. It's Hillary SA full trade offer from San Francisco my papers on cost and includes. Or prospects Tel Aviv Elliott Ramos. Fresh off Chris Arroyo bloodied because of their top prospects scored a baseball America. Ramos speed. Who's a body that I said royal I don't see but he was he spent time up and down. With the with the giants in their system and Chris Shaw also. The other is number four so it's they're tough or talked about baseball America the top four prospects is what they're offering up there are also offering. 8202. To pay 250 million of the Georgian 95. On statins deal. The only thing is. They don't have stands yes. So. Problem. You can't get ahead. To be a business. And he mining for clear you don't. And this problems while we're tomorrow. Remember winning they made the last out don't they ended up opinion. They were free and you know 2030 more million than the players they had actually on the T I just can't Sampson on wins Dan. Yes. I thought he he was me they brought Montauk movies but also talks a Marlins and the fact that he's no longer employed there he kind of little more on filtered. And he gave the basis and yet we screwed up we spent on the money we saw. He's like we obvious eating go about it the right way. I think. As he tried to do Derek Jeter a solid no I. The uses being truthful I mean I think he just was a boy did you urging those I don't. Urge you to fired him I don't think he was always on a contract it is that's still that's still kind of bottom and get asked why my skills on a contract and and Davidson to goes 'cause he has pictures. I was joking and us. It's what he's thinking well no I mean you you from Lubbock arts and on that. Yet I don't bottle of deterrence and there milled so just to value and got a good to have your reload are saying why Mike hill's those job no disease the highest. The report that's the theory of it is that retarded is just. Probably he's the ranking. I've americanize extremely arrogant American baseball so in the Major League Baseball kind of forced him on Derek Jeter because of that well but the best theory. That but the problem is it that you do more. All armed and hell. If a guy supposed to get fired in this situation doesn't. Give. To his lack. He's not black he's mixed in double Johnson it well either way he's the other side and ago. Donald knew what when early cancer like. Goalie Tyler Johnson looks more white and black in Derek Jeter looks a little darker than white. Would. That we we got we got adequate yeah I'm right and it needs to be discussed. On Iran feels announces producers has lied to police as young community. Eric ponds CEO George Bush committee joins us to act as it's I'm really appreciate it. Thanks so much yeah yeah delay. No or is nowhere is so are you when you realize the canes are eligible to be in your game. Is that exciting because there hometown Timorese like. This isn't good it's gonna be is much torque because the the local to you of course the should be this should be a home run for us. Yeah I mean it's it's obviously very excited and our arrangement we have which traditional cap worn Orange Bowl. Is with the ACC champ down on one side and then they coup how much funnel. Did you get the next highest ranked teams so. Much like last year when clients and went to the semi finals and then yeah Fiesta Bowl force stay with the next highest ranking we knew this year that book want to remind you positioned themselves. Whoever won insurer who was gonna go to the well and most likely the one who lost. Was gonna come to a lot so we hit it was a possibility that Clemson or Miami would be an arcane. It's great I mean like last year when you go local component. Within national. Powerhouse program like Wisconsin like Michigan that they are. You were great combination as a lot of excitement South Florida in Corsica physical across the country so what we get basketball. Erica I know listen though I'm shirt we love the Wisconsin people we're glad that Wisconsin's in the game. But is illegal. You on Sunday got hammered in that Alabama doesn't get into the top four and maybe they end up down here. What say you I mean the problem we have with the Big Ten SEC Notre Dame offers those opportunities but you know. The top four in most years you're not gonna news we get in tow the detail selection. And so yeah when you do those possibilities but we never have Wisconsin artistry. And for the glass by the for a long time we go we were very close to Barry Alvarez the athletic director there of the coach Paul cook curse is a different. And we believe you're talking about that they would content consort just ecstatic which while ago Wisconsin. To quarries fan base. They're excited to be coming down here. And I notably great night. Or was got to get more tickets as a home team get more tickets like I don't think we should get Wisconsin lemon tickets like double the fuel. You know it's a really just the opposite end of the and to be. What's the reality is in our world poking at the same exact amount of tickets. But then the other half of the stadium sold vocal. Go to mastermind is going to be pretty well tonight. All right. What's the slide valuing what are you guys noting has given away this year to love knowing what. What the other kids his prizes for the game. You go away I think it's like a key this week where there's a lot of options. Were regulated by the NCAA so it's a concern amount of dollars split the kid to be really happy with. The options and it's exciting I mean both teams are amazing year's Marin stir up and you know. While Wisconsin started out twelve though they both finished with what who also losses but. The young you know programs that are on the east sending a quarry coaches and I think kids are going to be. They're the celebrated in the agencies and the Q it's a part of. What do you say about the zag like you guys have a classic bowl and Orange Bowl that goes down everybody everybody wants to go to the horn blow anything about like all these bulls that have golly too many. He got he got late the margarine butter bowl or some nonsense that's gone around the league like what do you think about everything that goes to do as the bulls. Under a long time and I've seen the evolution in the postseason college football and now it's forty bowl games. And I actually chaired the football bowl association are very connected to. The business in the industry but it's great I mean to be sick about it across the country. In the so many programs to compete at a high level and have. No forty times to there's eighty programs get a chance to play in the postseason college football. It's great we feel really good. I'll Wear the cap worn Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl accessible caught impeachment rose. Or because we feel like in over the course of time we're 84 years old. It has its special place. But there's great things happening in Boca Raton for example were you know Akron spring FA you what an amazing year in a twirling children. And if you. So yeah I think it's great you know it's it's a balance between where the oil office taken things. With the tradition of the bolts. But in the end of more inventory to more which meet student athletes to celebrate great she's. Thank you it's iMac really appreciated Matt we look at followers of the game and all the celebration you guys have around she got a lot of things plan for the teams and something's going to be a lot of fun.

Looked all over and haven't been able to find anyone even trying to see if it works, so just wanted to know if anyone has had success with Wii-DS connectivity or knows if it'll work.

William Booth Quotes About DevilQuotes about: Devil
You must pray with all your might. That does not mean saying your prayers, or sitting gazing about in church or chapel with eyes wide open while someone else says them for you. It means fervent, effectual, untiring wrestling with God. This kind of prayer be sure the devil and the world and your own indolent, unbelieving nature will oppose. They will pour water on this flame.
The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice. It is the one calling in which at the beginning the only exertion is that of self-indulgence; all the prizes are at the commencement. It is the ever-new embodiment of the old fable of the sale of the soul to the Devil. The tempter offers wealth, comfort, excitement, but in return the victim must sell her soul, nor does the other party forget to exact his due to the uttermost farthing.

Blair girls win LAX Battle of the Boulevard against Northwood
- Published in Sports
SILVER SPRING — The 2018 high school varsity lacrosse season may only be a few weeks old, but Blair senior attacker Markeeta Reed has already had her favorite moment of the season so far.
Reed turned in a five-goal performance Monday that helped the Blair Blazers earn their first win of the year in the Battle of the Boulevard against the neighboring Northwood Gladiators, 12-7.
"I don't want to see my team lose; it's not a good feeling," said Reed. "It's a relief to win. I made a couple goals to help the team and we worked together to get those goals."
The game started off close at the beginning as both teams traded leads and tied the score twice in the first half. The Gladiators showcased their multiple threats as five players all scored throughout the course of the evening.

NEWS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 03, 2005 Judge Greer Obstructing Justice Terri Schiavo and her family flagrantly denied due process by probate judge To: National Desk Clearwater, FL., March 03 /Covenant News Wire Service/ — On February 28, 2005, the parents of Terri Schiavo were informed, through their Attorney David Gibbs, III that Judge George Greer of Pinellas-Pasco's Sixth Judicial Circuit has denied, without access to hearing, motions filed by Terri Schiavo's immediate family for Updated neurological evaluations based on new MRI testing protocols; A motion to compel the deposition of Michael Schiavo; A petition for extraordinary authority to provide Terri Schiavo with updated rehabilitative protocols; A petition for divorce, citing open adultery on the part of Terri Schiavo's husband and guardian; An objection to the guardian's annual guardianship plan ; A motion to remove Michael Schiavo as guardian, citing his failure to comply with Florida Law mandated guardianship requirements. This motion dates back to November of 2002, but the court has never ruled on it. Judge Greer has stated that he will only consider motions from Terri's family as they relate to the death process, which include but are not limited to a motion to allow Terri Schiavo to die at home instead of a Hospice facility, a motion for a Florida burial, and a motion allowing her immediate family uninterrupted access to her throughout the death process. The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation finds the actions of Judge Greer reprehensible and a clear denial of the due process rights afforded to Terri Schiavo under Federal and Florida law. With new medical diagnosis protocols and new levels of rehabilitation protocols, Terri Schiavo's adjudicated condition of 'persistent vegetative state' is no longer equitable and any responsible jurist would eagerly recognize and accommodate more thorough means of determining the disabled woman's true condition – a condition that remains in great dispute. Additionally, the Foundation finds the behavior of Judge Greer an absolute obstruction of due process for Terri Schiavo by his refusal to hold the guardian accountable for violation of Florida's guardian laws. The guardian has spent Terri Schiavo's medical fund on representing his own legal interests, has denied her necessary medical services, lives in open adultery with his girlfriend and their two children, has petitioned the courts to cremate Terri immediately upon her death and has repeatedly and flagrantly failed to comply with Florida Statutes that mandate the terms of guardianship. Judge Greer couldn't be bothered with those details so long as Terri Schiavo's death is a guaranteed outcome. Statement of Pamela Hennessy, Media Representative of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation: Never in my life have I seen a judge so afraid of the truth. Why is it that admitted criminals are protected to every reasonable measure of law, but our disabled and vulnerable citizens are discarded by the courts as unworthy lives?

With the MLB Free Agent market cooling down outside of a few big names, many teams are close to solidifying themselves as a contender. The Cubs are in 'World Series or Bust' mode, while the Nationals quietly are having a good offseason. The Giants, the White Sox, and the Red Sox forced people to add their teams into the October conversation. But where will the remaining top five big name free agents go?
Justin Upton
Upton is one of those players that you either really love or really hate for absolutely no reason. I've never been an Upton fan, he seems to start every season on fire in April and May and cool down considerably towards the end of the season. But if Justin finds himself in the right organization where he isn't relied on as a cleanup hitter, he can definitely find success and thrive. Upton has his options open and I think the White Sox, the Giants, the Angels and the Orioles will all show interest when push comes to shove. Upton's best bet is to wait for Cespedes, Fowler and Gordon because teams will get desperate.
Where Upton Should Go: San Francisco Giants
Where Upton Will Go: Los Angeles Angels
Yoenis Cespedes
There is no doubt in my mind that Yoenis will go to the highest bidder, it is just a matter of where that will be. A reunion in Detroit would be beneficial for both teams but Detroit already has a lot invested in Zimmermann. Cespedes has the same potential teams as Upton but also drawing interest from the Royals. Yoenis doesn't have a qualifying offer so teams don't need to worry about losing any draft picks. Cespedes can hit the cover off of the ball and will improve any organization wherever he goes.
Where Cespedes Should Go: Detroit Tigers
Where Cespedes Will Go: Chicago White Sox
Chris Davis
Chris Davis waited too long to accept the Orioles offer and now he finds himself up a creek without a paddle. Scott Boras, Chris's agent, along with Davis are looking for an 8 year $200 million deal which is crazy. Chris Davis has shined at times but he strikes out A LOT. Davis has raw power but teams will shy away from his pricetag simply because he's not worth it. Crush has had interest from the Red Sox, the Cardinals, the Orioles, and the Blue Jays. I would be shocked if the Red Sox signed him causing them to lose a 12th overall pick in the upcoming draft. The Cardinals need power after losing the Jason Heyward sweepstakes as the highest bidder. The Orioles and Davis don't exactly get along and the Blue Jays lineup with Davis would be scary. Davis is another one of those guys who will follow the money no matter what situation he is put into in terms of winning and losing.
Where Davis Should Go: St. Louis Cardinals
Where Davis Will Go: St. Louis Cardinals
Alex Gordon
Gordon is simply asking for too much money. With that being said the Royals, the Giants, the Angels, the Cubs, the Astros, the Cardinals, the Orioles, the Red Sox and the Tigers have all spoken with him. Gordon could make these teams legit and maybe lead them to the postseason but at what cost will he ask. The Astros and Cubs have found answers elsewhere already, the Red Sox just shouldn't. The Tigers could use him but their budget is tight after signing Zimmermann. The Royals don't really need him to be honest. Either the Giants and Angels will get Justin Upton, while the Cardinals will get Davis. The Orioles seem to be the lone bidder along with either the Angels or the Giants.
Where Gordon Should Go: San Francisco Giants
Where Gordon Will Go: Baltimore Orioles
Ian Desmond
The Nationals really don't need Desmond after reaching a deal with Daniel Murphy and having their #2 prospect Trea Turner ready for the big leagues. Desmond's options look like they're between the Padres and the Mets. Although maybe a possible move to outfield will attract other organizations. This is really a toss up because Desmond could work well with both teams so there could potentially be a bidding war. I think Desmond will favor the NL East team to try and beat his former team year to year.
Where Desmond Should Go: New York Mets
Where Desmond Will Go: New York Mets
There are definitely a few teams that have money burning a hole in their pocket and could shake this entire offseason up. It all depends on every organization's plan on how to use some of these players. Can Desmond make the move to the outfield? If so he becomes much more valuable. Many variables are still in play and many wallets are too.

Each patient will undergo a brief assessment, called triage, by a Registered Nurse which determines which patient needs to be seen first. If your condition is very serious, you will be seen by the doctor right away. The sickest patients are treated first.
Once you are triaged, you will be sent to the appropriate zone within the department. These are dedicated patient care 'zones' with specialized health care teams for critically ill patients, children, heart patients, people with mental health issues, and those with non‐life threatening illnesses. This helps to speed up the assessment, diagnosis and treatment process for everyone.
After triage, you will be registered. We will ask you for your health card and will confirm your personal information. We need this information to start your medical record.
We know waiting can be frustrating. Your wait depends on how sick you are and how many other people are being treating at the time of your visit. If we are treating many critically ill or injured patients, you may have to wait longer. Wait times vary and we ask for your patience and understanding. We will do our best to see you as quickly as possible.
The amount of time you spend in the ED will depend on:
If your condition changes at any time after the triage process, please call for the nurse immediately.
We try to minimize your wait and keep you informed.
There are different treatment areas to care for different conditions. We will send you to an area where a nurse will give you care specific to your condition.

When it comes to meeting and event planning, particularly finding your perfect venue, there are a quantity of organisations that can help you to discover a location for your occasion. Your local convention bureau or a national location discovering service is frequently a great place to begin. Obviously the web is also a beneficial source of info when looking for venues.
Next, strategy a trip to the area, to get an in person feel of issues. Don't jump into anything just yet. This first trip is for informative functions only. If after the initial visit you really feel great about your decision, start making use of for jobs on-line instantly, also maintain an eye on the local newspapers on-line for job and apartment leads. If you can consist of a memo explaining that you will be moving to the region on this kind of a date and you are looking for employment. You can start searching for an apartment online. If you feel like you want assistance I suggest getting in touch with an apartment Venue finding services, or a local Realtor. Numerous people don't understand a Realtor can rent you a house, and this will make the search a great deal simpler for you.
New and old boats require to be labeled properly. Utilizing the best supplies and qualified experts to get your lettering cut and fitted will instill greater pride in possession. Your identification is your assertion about who you are and what you signify and a boat is the Venue finding service to display that. Do you want to display your patriotism or perhaps show your satisfaction in your pet? Is your boat for enjoyment only and you desire a graphic of a spectacular sunset? Just like the captain, boats have character as well and boat graphics can deliver out her distinctiveness.
Ask the company what fees there are for their services. Most companies that lease apartments are paid by the landlord and not the tenant. Nevertheless, some forms also cost application and credit report charges. Prior to you begin operating with a company, inquire what these fees are and get it in writing. Expect to pay a affordable fee of $50-75 such as your credit check.
It is essential to entertain the guests and maintain the celebration alive, that is why you need to have songs and DJ for that. For a little wedding reception, you don't have to hire a professional DJ or band. Instead, you can have a buddy who knows a bit on entertaining people or you can hire a college band that will most likely price less expensive or even for totally free!
If you purchase containers from Uhaul, buy more than you think you'll require. This may save you a final-minute journey later. Uhaul has a fantastic policy exactly where you can return any unused containers for a full refund. Hang on to your receipt! You'll also require packing tape, and something to wrap breakables in. I suggest using sweaters, towels and sheets to save cash and time (not to point out the atmosphere).
Add the components of laughter in the party! Employ a comic who can make the kids laugh with the funny jokes and mannerisms. Such an entertainment action will deliver a smile on the faces of your children.

Sunday Holiday
Sunday Holiday
Sunday Holiday is not 'the best movie'. I saw it recently, and I liked it. It touched, and I pondered it for hours. Do you ever stay at home with nothing better to do than watch tv, and think, "I need a really high quality movie for this evening", but you can't think of a single good hq movie to watch? I don't watch many movies online in comedy category, but this one was amazing. Sunday Holiday is a long film, with the space and leisure to expand and explore its themes. I'm big fan of comedy movies. I walked into this movie totally blind. I knew nothing about it, even never saw a trailer... Movie grossing reflects more on popularity than quality, still it is interesting to know top ten of movies, be sure they are worse than this great movie. The amount of details and little aspects of the movie that you can find years and years later is absolutely amazing. Sure there are classic movies which everyone like, and they are great. But Sunday Holiday is just non stop awesome from start to finish.

And on top of that Lavamovies offers no viruses, no torrents, no downloads, only pure high quality free streaming service of online movies COMPLETELY, TOTALLY FREE! I decided to upload this great movie, here on lavamovies, and other film productions, everyone now can see this movie for free online.

The idea is simple but fascinating: To communicate with the media instead of communicating via the media.
Students of media and commucation management should have practical knowledge with media and be able to create their own media products. That means: Students got the opportunity to realise a web tv production; they direct, they shoot and cut stories, they mix sounds, they broadcast live and much more.
orga.TV unites all these aspects and is a base for interested students. The internet broadcast station of the Saarland University was founded in 1999 at the department of Business Administration – chair of Prof. Dr. Christian Scholz. Since that time orga.TV is every wednesday 6:18 pm online and live.
Every week five student apprentices inform about the study, the campus, the Saarland and special themes of organization, resource and media management.

Media Research Planning can be done by Media Buyers as well as Media Specialists. Depending on product and service, Media Buyers and Media Specialists must do a fair amount of research to determine how best to spend the allotted budget. This includes research on the target audience and what type of medium will work best to reach the largest number of consumers with the most effective method. Media Planners and Media Specialists have a vast array of media outlets at their disposal, both traditional media and new media. Traditional media would include radio, TV, magazines, newspapers, and out of home. New media might include Satellite TV, cable TV, Satellite radio, and internet. The internet offers a number of Online Media that have surfaced
with the improvement of technology and the accessibility of the internet. Online Media can include social media, emails, search engines and referral links, web portals, banners, interactive games, and video clips. Media Planners and Specialists can pick and choose what and/or which combination of media is most appropriate and effective to achieve their goal, whether it is to make a sale, and/or to deliver a message or idea. They can also strategize and make use of product placements and Positioning. Inserting advertisements such as print ads in newspapers and magazines, buying impressions for advertisements on the internet, and airing commercials on the radio or TV, can be used by both Direct-response and remnant advertisers.

A dark night of the soul can be a tough experience to deal with, especially when you don't know what's happening to you.
Anyone who meditates, practices magick, or follows a path of energy work sooner or later finds themselves having a Dark Night of the Soul. The term comes from Saint John of the Cross's 16th century poem of the same name, describing a Christian's spiritual crisis during their journey towards union with God. The name is something of a misnomer, as that state of bleak depression can last for years. While Saint John was describing it from a Christian standpoint, the notion of finding oneself in a place where none of your previous experience is of any use to you is common to all spiritual paths.
It can be particularly disconcerting to those of a Zen persuasion. Often, those who take up Zen meditation will discover to their delight that after a relatively short period of time they've become more peaceful, focused, and relaxed. They will, with the annoyingly tireless enthusiasm of the recently converted, begin to extol the virtues of meditation to everyone they come into contact with. However, after a while, the peace begins to wear off and new emotions start to emerge: feelings of sadness, anger, and frustration. Sitting down to meditate may stir up anxiety, making it difficult to sit. Most give up the practice at this point and begin telling everyone how Zen doesn't really work or is just a short-term solution or that they didn't have it in them to stay with it, it's dangerous, blah, blah, blah.
What really happened is they achieved the next level on their journey and weren't prepared to handle it. The late Dr. Glenn Morris liked to say that what we consider the ego, or socially learned self, is really just a collection of masks that we present to the world. Peel off one mask and there's another, then another, and another. The goal is get past all those masks and achieve a relationship with the greater reality. Call it God, the Divine Will, the Holy Guardian Angel, Enlightenment, the Higher Self, or the Collective Unconscious, the name is irrelevant. All paths are designed to get us to the same state of mind, once you strip away the local flavors and political agendas. Beginning meditators usually do find it a tremendous relief to finally strip away the first few layers of their ego. The sensation can be very refreshing as trapped energy gets released and reintegrated. Eventually, however, they pull away enough of the smiling, I'm-A-Good-Person-Just-Trying-To-Get-Along masks and uncover all the hidden negative emotions they've been trying not to think about: buried childhood resentments and frustrations, anger, hate, fears we thought we'd outgrown.
Pandora's Box gets thrown open and all that repressed negativity comes flying to the surface. The practitioner has just come face-to-face with what Carl Jung referred to as The Shadow and most folks find it overwhelming. If the person begins projecting their personal Shadow on the world around them, things can get damned scary. This is usually the time when the religious devotee starts examining the world and wondering why so many horrible things happen under the guidance of a supposed loving God. (Note: I differentiate The Dark Night of the Soul from getting tossed into what Robert Anton Wilson called Chapel Perilous. The Dark Night is precipitated by an internal shift that brings us in direct contact with our own Shadow self. Chapel Perilous is a bizarre frame of mind kicked off by contact with something perceived to be external to the self. Occultists often find themselves in Chapel Perilous after coming to the rather startling reality that magick actually works and can have very visible effects on one's life).
So, how does one deal with the waking up one day in the throes of a Dark Night?
Read the rest here.

Juneteenth club prepares for annual event
Organizers of next month's Juneteenth celebration are hard at work preparing Booker T. Washington Park for what they hope will be a very large crowd to mark the 152nd anniversary of the arrival in Texas of the news that slaves had been liberated.
Booker T. Washington Park's land extends well beyond the facility's entrance on FM 3437, the iconic dance hall, which is the two-story structure on stilts, and the large covered slab filled with pews, called the tabernacle.
The park's total area is about 30 acres, said Dr. Sharon Kirven-Henley, who, with husband Rex Henley, is planning this year's parade.
Members of the Limestone County Nineteenth of June Organization are using heavy machinery to clear the land across FM 3437 of trees and brush so there will be room for camping and parking vehicles.
"What we're doing at this stage is we're deforesting the rest of the park on the other side of FM 3437, making it usable," Kirven-Henley said. "We expect a larger crowd. We're going to have trail-riders and RVs, so they'll need a place to park. We're going to have a car show and motorcycle events, so with all that traffic, we're going to need a place for them to park their vehicles, or just to put their animals.

This business basics page is meant to give you a balanced view of having your own small business. Therefore it reveals both typical benefits and possible risks. I suppose most people are aware of the potential benefits of a small business. However, I also want you to be aware of the possible risks.
The topics below should help you concentrate on the benefits and avoid the risks of being in business. But the success or failure of any business venture you start is entirely up to you.
Here are the topics:
Benefits of owning a business venture
Risks of owning a business venture
The other pages in this section will acquaint you with basic business matters and help you decide whether to start your own business. However, that decision is entirely up to you.
Before using this information to start a business be sure to read the following notice: Disclaimer
The best way to benefit from a business venture is to make it into a success. I have listed some of the potential benefits in the topics below.
Being your own boss
A successful small business venture lets you be your own boss. You decide how to run things, what is important and unimportant, what products you will sell, and so on.
If your business is successful, you will gain stature in your community. People will look up to you and ask for your advice or opinion. You will become known as a "take charge" person.
Developing your experience and skills
It's always possible to lose your money and possessions. However, you can't lose the experience and skills from starting and running a successful business venture.
Once you learn the business basics of how to build a profitable business venture, you have something more valuable and lasting than almost anything else.
Helping others
Some people just want to help others. You can use a small business venture to give advice, provide training or counseling, help the disadvantaged, and so on. You can set your fees just to cover your costs and expenses, or you can make a profit. It's all up to you.
(I flatter myself by believing that this website can help other people. Maybe you can find some way to help people yourself.)
Making money
You can use your business venture on a part-time basis to earn extra cash. You may even make it into a full-time operation and use it for your livelihood.
A small business venture can be much more flexible than a larger business firm. You can use it to exploit suitable opportunities as they arise in the marketplace.
But keep in mind there is no guarantee of making money.
Putting your ideas into action
Perhaps you have some idea you want to try out. Maybe you are creative and want to sell your creativity to others. Using these business basics to help start your own small business venture allows you to produce whatever you can imagine.
Have you ever used some product and then said to yourself, "I could make a better one than that!" Well, this could be your chance.
You may encounter problems and risks when starting and operating a small business venture. (However, by knowing the possibilities, you will be better able to avoid them.)
I have listed some of the possible risks in the topics below.
Getting into disputes
As a business owner, there is always the possibility of getting into disputes. The two main groups of people or organizations you deal with are customers and suppliers. You need to keep good relations with both of these groups.
Following are the two main reasons for getting into disputes:
Meeting of the minds -- This means that both parties to a proposed transaction understand the complete agreement. This understanding should explicitly include any assumptions and expectations by either party. It is best to have the complete agreement written down so both sides can review it. Then they can resolve any apparent problems before any transaction takes place.
Keeping your promises and agreements -- This means just what it says. Don't make any promises or enter into any agreements you can't keep. Write a summary of any promises or agreements you make. Keep these summaries in a special journal. The summary should identify the other party, include any deadline, and describe the desired results. You then can add these commitments to your to-do list. Later on, you may want to prepare a work plan showing how to achieve the desired results. These measures will help you keep your promises and agreements.
Losing money
You lose money when your costs and expenses exceed your sales. You need to increase sales or reduce costs and expenses, or both. The information in this Business Basics section and other sections of this website can help you avoid this problem.
Following are steps that increase your chances for making a profit:
Failing to satisfy the government
Governments impose various fees and licenses, registration requirements, rules and regulations, and taxes on business firms. In addition, there may be special requirements before a firm hires any workers, engages in dangerous operations, damages the environment, or becomes a nuisance in some way.
To avoid any problems with the government you need to determine their requirements and decide how to obey them. Do this before starting business operations.
However, if your business venture is small enough, it may not be subject to all of the above requirements.
A local attorney, accountant, or bookkeeper may be able to advise you in this matter.
Spending less time with family and friends
There are only so many hours in a day. So you don't want business operations to take too much of your time.
One way to reduce the time spent on business operations is to study and apply the ideas from Chapter 16: Use Time Saving Tips in my free Magic Success Secrets ebook.
Trying to handle too much
If you lack business training and experience, you may have too much to handle when starting a new business venture.
The better way is to get any needed training and information before you start business operations. Start by quickly reviewing all the sections on this website. Then you can study those sections, pages, and topics that appear to help you.
The rule is -- start out small and gradually expand operations as your experiences and skills develop.

On Sunday I went to one of my favorite nature reserves in the area, Blashford Lakes. Managed by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust the reserve is a series of flooded former gravel pits as well as some woodland. There are six hides on the reserve and a few viewing screens and it is a fantastic place to go and see wildlife.
I tend to walk to the reserve as it is not too far away and this means I pass more flooded gravel pits. Outside the reserve are lakes used for water sports but there is still plenty of wildlife to be seen on and around them.
As I came close to the reserve it became clear that one species was very abundant at the moment the common blue damselfly. There were thousand of the beautiful insects in the area. Like many species, the female is somewhat less colourful than the male but they are still incredible creatures.
I also saw plenty of other interesting insects:
My first view of the lakes themselves was through a viewing screen on Ivy Lake where I got a lovely view of a family of Mute Swans.
I visited a few of the lake hides and didn't see too much of interest but then it is coming towards the end of the season. I did see a bird of prey over Ibsley Water but the light made things difficult to identify it. It was an agile flyer and may have been a hobby but I really couldn't see it clearly enough. I also saw many of the usual birds like black-headed gulls, great crested grebes, tufted ducks and a few terns.
Eventually I reached the Woodland Hide which is my favourite one. There's lots of bird feeders in a wooded area and you never quite know what you will see. I had been in there only a couple of minutes when to my astonishment a young fallow deer wandered right past the hide. It was about four feet away at one point and I didn't dare move to take a photo! It was a remarkable moment to be so close to an animal which can be very timid.
I also saw plenty of good bird life from the hide too. The most abundant visitor was goldfinches and they happen to be one of my favourite birds so I was pleased to see so many of them so close.
I also saw a stock dove, a bird I don't think I've ever seen before. It is admittedly difficult to get too excited about pigeons though, even if they are new pigeons.
The bird highlight at the woodland hide were some juvenile Great Spotted Woodpeckers.
I then saw the juveniles woodpeckers a few minutes later in the woods.
I also saw some interesting fungi in and near the reserve. The only one I've so far been able to get identified is this Shaggy Bracket (Inonotus hispidus). This was actually found in woodland approaching the reserve and it's bad news for the host tree and this fungus can damage and kill it's host!
For more information about Blashford Lake visit their website here. There is also a fantastic reserve blog which is well worth a read.

Looking for inspiration on how you can do more with less in your home? When I was young, I was embarrassed when my mother went to thrift stores and bought things second hand. Then I had a house of my own and I stood wide-eyed, mouth gaping at the price of new hand-towels, much less a set of plates. My mom's shopping habits suddenly made more sense. My mom's whole home is from thrifting, repurposing what she already has to make a space and create peace. Isn't that the point of a home anyway? For more inspiration for thrift store decorating visit my mom's Etsy page called the Refurbished Farmhouse. Originally posted on Upper Barn Blog.
There are very few of us that can live off of our passion or our craft. Most of us work to pay the bills or we stay at home to keep the kids and then by the light of a candle or in minutes stolen from an early morning we do what we are passionate about. Maybe it is because it is in stolen-time that we dream, craft, and create that keeps the passion aflame. My stolen time on the elliptical at the gym; no husband, no cooking, no housework, just me and my music and words. Luisa Ellis, my friend of 27 years, is a candle light creator. She calls herself the paper piper. Photo contributions by Elisa Bricker & myself. Originally posted on the Upper Barn Blog.

Journalist, writer and political commentator, Walter Lippmann, said, "When everyone thinks the same, nobody is thinking."
I have coached literally thousands of executives, leaders, mangers, entrepreneurs, sales people and Toastmasters on breathing life into their business presentations.
I can break down the content of their presentations into two categories:
- Conformity
- Contrarian
What is a conformist? A conformist is a person who conforms, especially unthinkingly, to the usual practices or standards of a group or society.
So in the context of presentations, what does it mean to be a conformist? The conformist presentation is one that conforms to the usual practices of presentations. In terms of content you avoid controversial topics such as politics, religion, sex, sports or emotional messages. You talk about safe subjects.
Conversely, what is a Contrarian? A person who takes an opposing view, especially one who rejects the majority opinion. In the context of presentation content, a contrarian embraces those topics that conformists avoid.
According to Alan Weiss, PhD, CSP and CPAE, a contrarian has the courage against the great, mediocre mainstream. He or she views issues from an unbiased perspective.
Let's take a look at how a conformist and a contrarian view a process.
The Conformist: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The Contrarian: If it ain't broke, improve it.
There is nothing wrong with being a conformist. In fact, in a great deal of situations it is entirely appropriate. In many cases, however, it's not very interesting.
The contrarian, on the other hand, is anything but boring. You may not agree with them, but you will listen to them if for no other reason than to argue your position. Contrarians such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mohammad Ali, and Steven Jobs have changed the world: .
The exciting news is that you too can change your world by taking the contrarian's approach. In the art and skill of debate you get better by taking both sides of the issue. The same is true in presenting. You will get much better if you take both the conformist and the contrarian's approach to content. If you want to improve your presentation ability, I'm challenging you to take the contrarian's position on your next presentation.
Let's look at some examples of emotions that are generally thought of as negative:
- Fear
- Anger
Now we'll view these emotions through the lens of a contrarian.
Here are some contrarian views on fear:
- "Harness your fear. Use it to fire up your sensors and give you the edge to make sure you hear well, see well, act strongly, and perform well in a big moment."~Bear Grylls, Man vs. Wild star, Men's Health- November 2011
- "Fear is your friend. It is the energy to do your best. Use it don't fight it." From the book: How to Survive the Loss of a Love, by Peter McWilliams, Harold H. Bloomfield, Melba Colgrove
- Fear motivates us to action. According to Executive Coach David Kaiser, PhD, "The way I see it, those of our ancestors who didn't run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them simply didn't survive to reproduce. Fear is a call to action." This is taken from his blog, Lifehack.org.
Let's look at another example. What is the contrarian view of expressing anger through your temper? From a young age we've been told to play well with others. The contrarian says the following: Make anger work for you. Dr. Kaiser has a unique view on anger. He teaches that anger gives you the energy to confront a threat, helps you to set boundaries, and show others you are serious.
How to be a contrarian: (WikiHow.com: How to be a non-conformist)
- Express your opinions. Not the thoughts of others.
- Stop caring what people think. Even if it takes conscious effort at first, it gets easier over time. This is the base and foundation of nonconformity. Mark Sanborn, CSP, CPAE said the following, "The goal of a speaker is not to be liked. The goal of a speaker is provoke thought."
- Be aware that other people have different ideas. Do not try to force them to not conform; this is fascism and is wrong (it's also making them conform to nonconformity!).
- Experiment. Learn who you are; what you like and dislike. Many people will assert their standards, opinions, and ideals. Think for yourself and choose the ones that seem right to you.
- Try a contrarian approach. Ask why everybody does or thinks one way, and try doing or thinking the opposite way, if it has any merits. You are bound to find out that some of your experiments don't work; that's OK as long as you survived them; try something else next time!
- You will be judged when you take the contrarian view. Here's a newsflash. You are going to be judged no matter what position you take conformist or contrarian. If you're going to be judged, you might as well state your true opinion.
- Don't be a contrarian just for the sake of being different, because you think it's cool or it will make you stand out. True contrarians change the world for the better. They challenge the status quo to make things better for a cause or society. It is not about the individual person.
- Being a contrarian does not mean being pushy about your own ideals. It just means doing your own thing for your own reasons.
- People who choose to be conformists are not criminals. They are only giving in to and acting out a different kind of social pressure.
- Being a contrarian does not justify being rude or impolite towards people.
- Taking the contrarian view may not serve your purpose. Always determine your state of purpose.
In closing, I want to leave you with this thought:
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity. ~Christopher Morley
