This poster details the effects of Medicaid coverage expansion since the Affordable Care Act began the inclusion of childless adults below the poverty level. This change has created a divide in how different states handle Medicaid coverage and this study examines how states undergoing Medicaid expansion differ in their treatment of individuals who may need the extra benefits offered by traditional Medicaid.
Researchers studied 14 different states and found substantial differences in how each state assessed eligibility for Medicaid coverage. In states like Massachusetts, individuals who were applying for disability-based Medicaid could self-declare that they had special medical needs, while in other states like North Dakota, applicants are given a questionnaire which is evaluated by a medical professional and then reviewed by the State Department of Human Services to determine Medicaid eligibility.

It's time to get searching for your new minifigure friends! The Series 17 minifigures are out in the wild and you will want to find this bunch as soon as possible!
I took my gang out over the weekend to photograph, and I'm mostly pleased with the results. Sadly I was a little careless and managed to lose a French beret and a bunny rabbit in the depths of the garden! Eek! I'm hoping that they will appear randomly one day!
Take a look at the end of the post for some hints and a link to a full on 'feel guide' by Brothers Brick. I'm sadly lacking in the time to write my own full one this time around!
Pro Surfer
Everybody loves surfing! Right? Well, if you are a pro surfer you do. And you have the coolest gear in town to prove it. (I can't help but think the shark looks more shocked than scary!)
Circus Strongman
Roll up, roll up, the circus is in town! Could you imagine getting a full classic circus set to go with the strongman? Wouldn't it be amazing! As it is, this moustache wielding, weightlifting fella will draw in the crowds all by himself!
Gourmet Chef
Let's break some eggs. Gourmet chef may know her way around the kitchen, but that doesn't mean she won't make a mess in the process. Be prepared to eat some tasty baking, and then clean the kitchen from top to bottom!
Corn Cob Guy
Where corn is growing, there will be a corn cob guy to watch over it. He'll protect your crops from the nasty bugs so come summertime you can BBQ all the corn you want!
She used to be a regular vet, but one day she volunteered at the monkey sanctuary. Now, she can't get enough of the monkeys and wants to hang out with them all day! It's just a little tricky to get them to sit still long enough for a check up!
Hot Dog Vendor
Hot dogs, hot dogs, get your hot dogs here! This chap loves to sell hot dogs and drinks! And just see how tasty that hot dog looks! Mmm, two over here please! And some fries with that!
Butterfly Girl
This pretty little
butterfly girl loves to play with the flowers. Spring is her favourite time of year and you will always find her outside, even if it is raining.
Roman Gladiator
The crowds will go wild for this roman gladiator. If only he can survive the arena that is. But his aim is always true, and he knows how to fight, so his chances are good!
This Parisian loves his baguettes and goes and gets a fresh one every morning. His puppy still needs a little training though – he keeps jumping up for hugs when the connoisseur is trying to get through the door!
Battle Dwarf
If it's fighting you need doing, then call on battle dwarf. He will climb the highest cave wall to come and help, bringing his axe and hammer to fight with.
Retro Space Hero
When you have a yellow cape and a ray gun, you know you are the best retro space hero in town. Clambering across the battle field to save the damsel in distress, he will always be there to save the day.
'Hello, hello? Yes, the 80s are calling and we want the yuppies back.' This 80s dude is at the height of coolness, with that chunky mobile and the white suit. I wonder if he has snake on that phone?
Rocket Boy
Rocket boy loves rockets and space. So he built a rocket costume and a flag to plant on the moon. Now he just needs to work out how to get there!
Dance Instructor
"Dance magic dance…" It's time to get moving, grooving and work up a sweat. Join the dance instructor for a great workout to some timeless 80s classics in the ballet studio!
Elf Maiden
When you are an elf, it's not only the men who take up arms and fight. They have some kick-ass women warriors too. Check out the sword skills of this elf maiden and be sure to flee before she notices you watching!
Mystery character (AKA the Highwayman)
I'm not sure why the big mystery surrounding the highwayman, but he is a pretty good figure. Just make sure you don't get on the wrong side of him as he doesn't take kindly to trouble. He likes causing it, but not dealing with it.
Tips for successful searching
- Hold the corner of a bag and shake until any little pieces fall to one side. This makes it easier to feel them out away from the leaflet and stand.
- Use the Brothers Brick guide to work out key things to feel for in the packet. Think about what something might feel like.
- Don't be embarrassed! Talk to the shop assistant if they are right there watching you. They are usually bored so any distraction will entertain them!
- Make a pile of the packets you want separately to the ones you are looking for. Get a basket so others don't pick up your carefully selected pile.
- Find a copy of the leaflet to use as a checklist for what you need or buy one packet first to get a copy. Take it and a pen.
- Start at one side of a box and work through it methodically rather than randomly. Keep track of what packets you have already looked through so you don't feel the same packet multiple times.
Who are you looking for this time around? Which figures do you really want to take out to photograph?

That a large gathering of groups extolling violence, Marxism, anti-semitic and anti-American 911 conspiracy theories is set to take place at McGill University in Montreal next week is odd. But what takes it beyond being merely odd and into the realm of being an outrageous breach of responsibility, is that they are receiving official sponsorship from the governments of Canada and Quebec.
Here's a screen-shot of the ad space bought by the Feds in the forum program with the Terrorizm, Wahhabism, Zionism conference outline overlayed.
Note that the JDL will be protesting this event in Montreal on Wednesday August 10th.

Suggestions on How to Avoid Stomach Upsets
Everyone loves being healthy. Whenever you're healthy your body works well and your mind always feels at ease. Your tummy upsets can make you quite uncomfortable. Stomach distractions can range from a simple ache to rapid cramps which will make you feel unsettled. There are people who have regular stomachaches which can disrupt their daily activities. In case you experience regular stomach upsets, here are a number of health tips to help you get rid of this problem.
Small Regular Meals
Eating is very necessary to your health. Depriving yourself of food will upset your stomach and it'll rebel and start grumbling. A growling stomach is always embarrassing. If you are too busy and you might forget about meals it is advisable to set alarmed reminders to remind you when it comes to meal times. Remember also eating too much on an empty stomach or at ago is dangerous. It is advisable that you consume little but more often.
Yoga movements and poses are extremely useful to your digestion. Performing the Peacock pose will assist in the flow of oxygenated blood into your digestive system making the digestion process very efficient. If you are having indigestion there are lots of yoga poses that can help decrease this effect such as lying on your back and putting one knee on the chest and exhale.
Natural Remedies
You are able to use different organic treatments to increase digestion. You can also improve the healthy bacteria in the gut essential for digestion by use of probiotics. A few of the supplements can be utilized in the treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. Cramps and experiencing difficulties when you go to the toilet can cause a whole lot of disruptions to your day to day activities.
Changing your diet can be helpful to your digestive system. Additionally, it will help you reduce any stomach sensitivities you might be experiencing from eating certain kinds of foods especially processed foods. Some of the foods that your stomach might be sensitive to include; bread, chocolate, biscuits, alcohol and even coffee. Milk and milk products are an essential diet when taken in right quantities. Consuming the right quantities of protein and fibers can go a long way in helping your digestive system.
Keeping up a particular routine can help you live a healthy life. Ensuring that you eat at the same time each day and sleeping at the same time can be very helpful to your digestion. Eating irregularly creates some disruptions to your digestive system, which can upset your stomach. It is therefore important you maintain a certain eating routine and adhere to it. Also sleep is important as some of the digestive enzymes work best when your body is relaxed and stress free.

Why the NEW Google Sites?
Are there any other fields represented today that have students create a portfolio of work??
Students can share their work with other faculty members, future employers, and can use it to organize and store their academic work.
It is VERY easy to import ANYTHING into these webpages from Google Drive.
It is much more visually appealing than the OLD google sites.
While there are other FREE website creation tools, because we are a GAFE school the ease of importing Google tools is much easier than using other sites.
Sites can even be used for a digital notebook. Watch the video to see a teacher creating one for a student.
Why not use Google Classroom?
- It requires you to be enrolled with a code.
- Tough to share with anyone outside of the class/school.
- Geared towards elementary & secondary students.
- Little use outside of the classroom.

The famous $100,000 tool bag lost by an astronaut on the current shuttle mission has been found!
And no, not by that nut from Minnesota who's been calling media outlets all over to say the bag is up for sale on eBay.
It's been found in space, streaking through the night.
An amateur astronomer in Ontario used info released by the military on the bag's orbit and filmed it streaking through the night.
It's not exactly Thomas Pynchon's screaming coming across the sky, but the video does show a surprisingly bright object moving quickly among the stars.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
And a Canadian television news show says it's the bag, so that's good enough for us.
Look at the bag while you can -- its orbit is expected to deteriorate, and eventually it'll get sucked in by earth's gravity and burn up in the atmosphere.
It will not end up on eBay.

About Me
I graduated with a degree in Physiotherapy (BPT) from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science, Bangalore. I am a Certified Manual therapist (CMT) and a diabetic educator.
I have been working as a Physiotherapist for more than 5.5 years. So far, I have worked in different specialties like, orthopedic, neurology, elderly care, and pediatrics cases. Apart from Clinical OPD, I have worked in home care physiotherapy services too.
Interest Areas
With an undying passion for travel, I am already my next trip to another city or to the mountains as we speak. I love trying all kinds of cuisines and I spend a lot of time socialising with friends and family and engaging myself in outdoor sports. Also, I love the latest gadgets and I need to get my hands on all the new and latest gadgets around.
Life changing experience
The most amazing and recent adventure I have been on is a road trip to Leh-Ladakh from Delhi. The nine-day trip from Delhi to Leh via Manali gave me an opportunity to fulfil a dream of a lifetime. I have always had this wild dream of exploring the vast mountainous terrains of Ladakh valley and lose myself completely amidst the breathtaking beauty that exists there. Finally, I fulfilled this goal in June 2016 and it was one of the best road trips I have had so far in my life and I am sure I will embark on many more in the future.
Areas of expertise
I specialise in managing musculoskeletal injury and prevention of it. Along with that I practice soft tissue mobilisation, trigger point release and manual therapy. And the best expertise that I possess is patient counselling, making them understand the way their body functions and how best they can take care of themselves. This personally empowers me to spread more knowledge about how physiotherapy can help people in their daily activities. Apart from that I have conducted ergonomics sessions specifically designed for corporates.
Most Fulfilling Part of Job
The most satisfying part of my particular job right now is seeing a very sick person recover and return home to a functional life. Walking that daily milestone with a patient is significant. If someone's struggling with something in particular and you're able to go on together towards success, then that's definitely satisfying.

Sunday Soul – LHOVERCRAFT
Year 11 – Playlist 21/52 – For the week of September 7th 2014
As Queen Elizabeth II began her third year as Head of the Commonwealth and Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Mr. Christopher Cockerell of Ripplecraft Ltd., a small Norfolk boat and caravan hire company, endeavored to build a vehicle that would move over the water's surface, floating on a layer of air by shoving a KiteKat cat food tin into a coffee can and connecting an industrial hairdryer to it. He called this endeavor the SRN1. What's exciting here is that the experimental vehicle actually worked. It zipped across an enormous puddle with ease and Cockerell had invented the hovercraft. This would prove wildly useful in crossing the English Channel and make a Knight of the Realm out of Christopher. In 1969 (some 14 years later) Sir Christopher Sydney Cockerell CBE RDI FRS was presented to the United Kingdom at last.
Now I know what you're thinking. "But the hovercraft hasn't been invented yet!" Exactly what I was thinking too. Sure, I've crossed the 112 Miles between Dover and Calais more than once on a big-ass disco ferry. I've ridden on top, and I've tried to sleep below. I've even hit on French girls in the disco (two slaps and a kiss,) but I swear I've never even seen a hovercraft. I am still waiting for a huge sphere of light to make a curious whirring sound and land delicately on the ground in front of me and beam me aboard and then gently lift off and hover away and I don't suppose I'm going to believe in hovercrafts until this happens to me.
If we weren't thinking the same thing there I've got another one for you.
In 1890 (some 36 years before the passportless, truck driving, Elizabeth Windsor was even born) linguistics enthusiast Howard Phillips Lovecraft appeared suddenly in Providence, Rhode Island. He played make believe with the other children in his neighborhood and then as suddenly as he had appeared he up and moved to New York City where he started and completely failed at writing and editing Weird Tales Magazine.
Dude, wouldn't that be cool? Imagine just going to the city and starting a magazine for yourself and there even being enough people to read it to consider yourself a failure at it? The idea of the city has certainly changed hasn't it? Anyway, by 1926 Lovecraft cashed out and sloped right back to Providence and holed up in his mother's house and wrote his most celebrated tales including "The Call of Cthulhu", canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. Never able to support himself from earnings as author and editor, Lovecraft saw commercial success increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progressively straitened circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was completely spent by the time he died at the age of 46, and that was that.
Until 1967, just two years before Cockerell was transformed from a Mr. to a Sir for his invention of the hovercraft, a professional
folk singer and a classically trained organist from Chicago, Illinois formed a psychedelic rock band and called themselves "H.P. Lovecraft."
The band named themselves after H. P. and their endlessly droning organ solos were claimed to be possessed of a haunting, eerie ambience, and consisted of material that was inspired by his macabre writings. The thing about "psychadelic" music is that it must have suffered from the same thing that house music has suffered from – when you're there and it's on it completely changes your life and informs a new way of seeing the world. Maybe it's all the dancing, or perhaps it's the length of the songs, or simply the festive atmosphere of nude people painted with tempera colors and gyrating with abandon for hours and hours and hours that also helps, but in the end there's kind of no "there" there when it comes to trying to explain it, or sell it, or play it on the radio. So very much like more emotionally mature electronic music a shorter version of the hour and half long drug anthems are produced and the concepts are masterfully distilled into catchy hits for the kids. H. P. Lovecraft (the band) did just this in 1968 with their immortal 45 teen hit "Anyway You Want Me" which clocked in at 2 minutes and 44 seconds. Hardly enough time for a mind expanding psychedelic freak out if you ask me.
Not to be unfairly cruel here, H. P. Lovecraft didn't take their success seriously. They moved to San Francisco at the height of the summer of love and tried to make another album while they were sleeping in Golden Gate Park and smoking meth with the Bikers and quixotic pixies of the day and it just didn't work out. By 1969 – the year of Cockerell's triumphant knighthood – H. P. Lovecraft were no more. But like their fellow travelers The Jefferson Airplane, they reformed a couple years later and cut the whole H. P. thing out and were known on the street simply as "Lovecraft." The airplane became a starship, and forgot all about Jefferson High School (where my Mother went to High School) and arrogantly claimed to have built San Francisco on "rock and roll" which is absurd. San Francisco was hastily built in the most unlikely place and time to make a safe haven for hookers, gamblers, and profiteers who re branded their enterprises as "the barbary coast." So the city was clearly built on the backs of low wage labor for the profit and pleasure of the wealthy, and had nothing to do whatsoever with "rock and roll." Unless they mean sex – an idiom for which was "rock and roll" in 1955 when Cockerell first experimented with cat food tins and coffee cans. You couldn't say "I wanna hump you" in a song back then, so people said "rock and roll" as a euphemism. Everyone knew what you meant, but there wasn't a law against sort of saying something that could later be denied. It was only against the law if you actually said it. Pretty clever.
How do you get where you're going? Who do you blame your failure on? Is it your stupid kid sister? Is it you mean and lonely parents who never did enough for ya? Is it your own damned fault? Maybe it's society, or capitalism, or maybe it's just the whole male dominated military industrial complex that's held you back? I think that it's easy to find someone's work after they are gone and make a mint from it. You can re package and sell it and it's no skin off your nose. No one lingering about the office hoping to have a say in how their work was exploited then is there? Nope. It's also easy to switch from folk to psychadelia to hippie to stadium rock when you don't mean a word of what you're saying, and you just want to be famous. It's as easy as switching from Bluegrass to dub step and back again isn't it? * snap * just like that.
Gene Simons of Kiss told esquire magazine this week that "rock is dead" and facebook's trending feeds had field day with it. What he was really saying was that it really sucks to be a musician hoping to make money out of music today, and he's not wrong. He's been wrong about so many things, but he isn't wrong about how sucky it is that the music business has dived into the dumpster at the hands of the man who started Facebook (remember how he killed music with Napster? Now he's killing the inter-web with Facebook.) I feel so free, I can say anything I want here, because no one can even read anymore (and even if you can – sheesh, just look at the length of this paragraph – way too long to read. How has all this happened? What is stopping you?
There is nothing in your way. Projection, counter-projection, and fear have everyone so distracted and bored that there isn't anything stopping the profiteers from fucking up this planet, your country, dismantling social welfare and bulling the banks while we sat around stoned staring at magically ever moving feed on friendster. I'm not mad at you, I love you. But I'm really furious about the shit bags who aren't doing anything about much of anything these days. While you were at burning man we were trying to find a way to talk about Ferguson, and where the hell Obama was. We were trying to keep our eyes focused on how to actually and authentically be here and now in the real world of "I can't pay my rent but I have a dream and I refuse to give up on it." We were landing our hovercrafts just long enough to let just enough love in to keep us alive. Man, I tell you I have got to stop pointing fingers. I keep eating these hats of mine and I'm not going to have any room left for dessert. I'm trying to learn to call bullshit when I see it, and say "hurrah!" when I feel someone told the truth, stood up for the little guy, and helped someone who couldn't help themselves. I'm looking from just about three feet up off the ground at this sad little puddle below me and baby I don't want to go any higher. I want to set this hovercraft right down, flip on the lights and invite everyone in sight all the way up in here for some tea. I think we could all use a cup right about now, don't you think? Now get out of the way, I'll put the kettle on and let's break out the cups…

Yale Rosen is no stranger to Gesa Stadium, having played at Pasco's signature ballpark in the last two Cougar Classics.
Rosen, a former Washington State star and current Eugene Emerald, brought that knowledge with him Tuesday during the Ems' 8-7 win over the Tri-City Dust Devils in front of 1,619 fans at Gesa Stadium.
The 6-foot-2 outfielder had a pair of doubles and drove in four runs to help push Eugene (5-6) into second place in the South Division, 11⁄2 games behind first place Hillsboro (7-5).
The teams had 13 hits apiece, but none were bigger than Chase Jensen's three-run home run with no outs in the top of the sixth to break a 5-all tie. He put a good swing on an 0-1 pitch from Dylan Thompson, a 31st-round draft pick out of UNC Greensboro who relieved Grahamm Wiest after 41⁄3 innings.
Thompson (1-1) took the loss, giving up 5 earned runs in just 11⁄3 innings. Wiest, a 14th-round pick out of CSU-Fullerton, allowed three runs on eight hits over 41⁄3 frames.
Sam Bumpers, a 22nd-rounder out of Lamar, continued his big season for Tri-City, going 2-for-5 with two RBIs. After Jairo Rosario broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth with an RBI single to center, Bumpers sliced a two-out, two run triple down the right field line to put the Dust Devils up 5-2.
But Rosen, who had already driven in a run with a second-inning double to center, came up with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth and lined a ball into the left-center field gap to empty the bags and tie the score.
Yimmi Brasoban (1-1) picked up the win for Eugene, allowing five earned runs over five innings with six strikeouts. Bryan Verbitsky picked up his second save of the year with two scoreless innings.
The Dust Devils (5-7) were the only team in the North Division to lose Tuesday, falling 51⁄2 games behind Spokane (10-1) and two games behind Vancouver (7-5).
Bumpers was one of four Tri-City hitters to record two hits, joining Richard Prigatano, Rosario and Rodney Polonia. Eugene also had four players with two hits apiece — Jensen, Nick Schulz, Rosen and Jose Ruiz.
Notes: Former Dust Devils INF Rosell Herrera was named to the Major League Baseball All-Star Futures game on July 13 at Target Field. Herrera, who hit .284, drove in and scored 30 runs for Tri-City in 2012, will play for the International team. Seattle Mariners farmhand D.J. Peterson, the M's first-round pick in 2013, will play for the U.S. roster. ... Marco Gonzales, a first-round pick by St. Louis last season, will also compete in the Futures game, but he got some bigger news Tuesday. The former Gonzaga lefty will make his MLB debut today against the Rockies at Coors Field.

My little teapot was my companion. I take mason jars to our local organic shop and have them filled with dried herbs. Yesterday I had chamomile and passion flower brewing. Very calming. Today I had another mix which was hibiscus and cinnamon, my favourite. Love the colour too. I really wanted to enjoy updating my blog hence the teapot and regular breaks and it worked. I've enjoyed, gained a lot more knowledge and am feeling a little more confident with navigating my way around and making changes. I've had to step out of my comfort zone a few times which to me is another gain.
|Hibiscus and Cinnamon Tea.
There are a few more little tweaks and obstacles I need to work through however the majority is now complete. Hoping everyone can see everything clearly and thank you so much for all of your comments. They really are encouraging.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Ten days later, she had new teeth put in—again, without the use of anesthetics and without pain. "I always had a terrible dread of going to the dentist," the patient, Roxa … [Read more...]

Fences, Denzel Washington's screen adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, will open wide this Christmas Day. It's another in a tradition of carefully selected movies making their theatrical debuts on December 25.
While studios usually opt to release their seasonal fare in the weeks leading up to the holiday, thereby allowing for audience awareness and, hopefully, positive word of mouth to build before the big day, they sometimes decide to hold out for the 25th. Right or wrong, studios figure their film is good enough to lure viewers away from all those new gifts and sumptuous feasts and straight into the multiplexes.
Happily, Fences is worth the post-presents trip out of the house, thanks largely to the award-worthy turns by Washington and Viola Davis. That's not the case, however, for the following 15 titles, all of which make the grade as the worst Christmas Day openers of the past 25 years.
15 An American Werewolf In Paris
Honestly, do most people even remember that John Landis' 1981 horror fave An American Werewolf in London sired a sequel? Arriving 16 years after the original — and with Landis not involved in any capacity — this sloppy second proved to be too little, too late, and too lame.
In the midst of a so-called "Daredevil Tour of Europe," Andy (Tom Everett Scott) and his dude-bros hit Paris, where he decides to bungee jump off the Eiffel Tower. This feat leads to an encounter with Serafine (Julie Delpy), a Parisian beauty who, alas, turns out to be a werewolf. Soon, Andy also becomes a loup-garou, pitting him against a neo-Aryan army of werewolves who want to rid the world of American tourists and other undesirables.
Makeup maestro Rick Baker won an Oscar for the first film's incredible transformation scenes, but the creators of this follow-up opted to go with CGI instead. It was the wrong call, since the effects employed to create the lycanthropes aren't convincing and rarely seem to be integrated to the backdrop of any given scene. Where's a silver bullet when you really need one?
14 The Postman
This notorious 1997 bomb from director-star Kevin Costner is set in the post-apocalyptic America of 2013, a ravaged landscape in which the remaining communities have no means of communication with each other. Enter The Postman (Costner), a drifter who tries to pass himself off as a mail carrier — the ruse is simply a way to land steady provisions from trusting souls, but once he sees the hope glistening in the eyes of those around him, he realizes the importance of uniting the nation by any means necessary.
Costner has never backed away from playing ornery jerks, but The Postman was the film where he started to develop a messiah complex. Costner the director lavishes all sorts of attention on Costner the actor, from laughably reverential dialogue ("You give out hope like it was candy in your pocket") to loving close-ups to gauzy slow-motion montages. After three grueling hours of vaingloriousness, it's hardly a shock when someone finally erects a statue honoring Costner's postman; it's just surprising there's no celestial postscript where he's glimpsed sitting at God's side.
13 Point Break
Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 action yarn Point Break has its share of both supporters and detractors, but it's hard to imagine anyone taking to the streets to champion this lamentable remake from 2015.
A costly misfire, Point Break Version 2.0 takes the first film's basic premise — surfer dudes spend their days catching huge waves and robbing banks — and expands it to make a half-hearted pro-environmental plea about giving back to the earth by having your crimes sponsored by some rich guy. Or something to that effect. Yes, it's even dopier than the '91 model.
As FBI agent Johnny Utah and spiritual gang leader Bodhi, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze relied more on their charm than their wavering acting chops to carry the original. For all their promise in other projects, Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez simply can't muster any modicum of magnetism, exhibiting all the warmth of a pair of redwoods. Point Break is impressive in that all of the stunts are performed by extreme-sports stars — no CGI here — but beyond that, there's nothing here of interest, with the story feeling like a stopgap between the various adrenaline rushes.
12 Bedtime Stories
It's hard to feel the glow of the holiday season when a man bonds with his niece and nephew by telling them that he'll always be around "like the stink on feet."
Then again, there's an unpleasant odor emanating from just about every scene in 2008's Bedtime Stories, in which a handyman named Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) discovers that the tall tales he spins have a magical way of coming true. He hopes that these fantasy yarns will somehow allow him to ascend to the position of hotel manager, but for now, they merely result in him getting bombarded by a shower of gumballs and kicked in the shins by an angry dwarf.
The tragedy of Bedtime Stories is that several fine performers — Guy Pearce as a prissy villain, Lucy Lawless as his right-hand woman, and Keri Russell as Skeeter's colorless love interest — all find themselves playing second banana to a somnambular Sandler. Instead, the most memorable supporting characters turn out to be Bugsy, a CGI-assisted guinea pig with saucer-sized eyes, and a Native American chief (Rob Schneider) who waves his hand behind his butt as he discusses "fire and wind" (get it?). Unfortunately, they're memorable in the worst way — as symbols of a potentially interesting movie that comes crashing down hard.
11 47 Ronin
The story of the 47 ronin, a group of leaderless samurai seeking revenge at the start of the 18th century, is an integral part of Japanese history, honored over the course of three centuries through art, music and literature. The true-life tale has also been told in various Japanese films, but Hollywood naturally figured it could improve on the legend with a few additions of its own. Dragons! Shape shifters! Keanu Reeves! 3-D!
The lumbering 47 Ronin, held from release for an entire year to allow for expensive reshoots and script rewrites, debuted stateside at the end of 2013, where it grossed only $38 million against a gargantuan $175 million budget. Even in Japan, where Universal Pictures foolishly expected it to do well despite its pillaging of that country's history, it performed poorly. Maybe, just maybe, Hollywood suits finally learned that not every epic film needs to be patterned after The Lord of the Rings and not every foreign tale needs to have a white (or white-passing) guy — in this case, Reeves' fictional half-British outsider — at its center?
Considering Exodus: Gods and Kings and Gods of Egypt were released after 47 Ronin, the answer to that question's a no-brainer.
10 Darkness
Perhaps inspired by the success that fellow countryman Alejandro Amenabar enjoyed with 2001's The Others, Spain's Jaume Balaguero wrote and directed a horror yarn filmed on European locations but cast with English-speaking actors.
Released in Spain in 2002 and throughout the rest of Europe in 2003, the moribund Darkness was kept from seeing the light of day by its U.S. distributor until December 25, 2004, when it effectively served as a cinematic lump of coal for curious filmgoers.
True Blood's Anna Paquin stars as a teenager who moves into an eerie home in the Spanish countryside with her demented dad (Iain Glen), her mean mom (Lena Olin), and a younger brother (Stephan Enquist) who receives the bulk of the supernatural abuse being doled out by the house. The revelation of why their home is haunted arrives after a deadening opening hour in which nothing even remotely interesting occurs — what follows is more frantically paced but no less dull.
9 Four Rooms
The problem with anthology films is that they're often only as good as their weakest entry. Unfortunately for this 1995 effort cobbled together by four indie writer-directors, the weakest entries are absolutely dreadful.
All four segments in Four Rooms are set in a Los Angeles hotel on New Year's Eve, with a hapless bellboy named Ted (an over-the-top Tim Roth) serving as the connecting thread. The first is the worst: Allison Anders' "The Missing Ingredient," in which a coven of witches (including ones played by Madonna and Valeria Golino) seek sperm in order to bring a stripper back from the dead. Almost as rancid is Alexandre Rockwell's "The Wrong Man," which finds a pistol-wielding husband (David Proval) keeping watch over his bound-and-gagged wife (Jennifer Beals). Quentin Tarantino's "The Man from Hollywood," about a wacky wager, rips off a great episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, with Tarantino and Bruce Willis as poor substitutes for Steve McQueen and Peter Lorre.
It's up to Robert Rodriguez, bless his soul, to contribute the only watchable vignette. "The Misbehavers," in which two rambunctious kids wreak havoc on a hotel room, isn't great, but it does benefit from Antonio Banderas' amusing performance as their dad and an uproarious finale.
8 Kate And Leopold
An utterly charming performance by Hugh Jackman gets wasted in this anemic underachiever from 2001. Meg Ryan, whose standing as the pixie queen of frothy romantic comedies had already begun to slip, stars as Kate, a successful sales executive whose career strength, according to her unctuous boss (Bradley Whitford), is that she knows what women want but thinks like a man. Naturally, it's going to take one special individual to thaw her out. That would be Leopold (Jackman), a 19th century Duke who, via a scientific experiment conducted by Kate's ex-boyfriend (Liev Schreiber), ends up being transported to present-day New York.
Bland romantic comedies are a dime a dozen, but it's rare to come across a time travel tale as listless as this one — the first half, in which we watch Leopold predictably become perplexed by modern-day gadgets like toasters and telephones, is particularly rote.
More interesting than what plays out on the screen was the "oops" moment that occurred off it. When Kate and Leopold was initially screened for critics and preview audiences, a climactic plot twist meant that two of the characters had earlier in the film committed incest. Following the blowback, studio executives finally bothered to read the film's script and realized the error of their ways — this in turn forced them to get hold of all existing prints and reloop the dialogue in order to alter the characters' relationship and void the taboo coupling. Nice save, but it's still a feeble flick.
7 The Bucket List
Two great actors, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, headline 2007's The Bucket List, an utterly un-great film about terminal patients.
Freeman plays Carter Chambers, an auto mechanic with an IQ seemingly equal to that of Stephen Hawking. Dying of cancer, he shares a hospital room with the filthy rich Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson), who's beginning to realize that money can buy everything except an extended lease on life. With each man facing less than a year to live, they both elect to go out in a blaze (make that daze) of glory, by dutifully performing tasks on their self-penned "bucket list" of activities they've always wanted to do. The list includes such items as "go skydiving" and "laugh until I cry"; unfortunately, "entertain audiences " is nowhere to be found.
Between the uninspired efforts put forth by director Rob Reiner and scripter Justin Zackham, The Bucket List is a lazy and condescending package from top to bottom, as well as a particularly egregious waste of two durable Oscar winners.
6 Mr. Magoo
Leslie Nielsen was known as a dramatic actor (Forbidden Planet, The Poseidon Adventure) until his hilarious turn as Dr. "Don't call me Shirley" Rumack in 1980's Airplane! sent his career spinning off into a new direction. Unfortunately, for every Naked Gun entry that took advantage of his heretofore untapped comedic prowess, there was a Repossessed or a Wrongly Accused wasting his shtick in unworthy vehicles.
One of the worst of these offenders is 1997's Mr. Magoo, which made a mockery of both Nielsen's abilities and a beloved cartoon character. Nielsen, neither short enough nor bald enough to function as a live-action counterpart to the animated version, is put through painfully protracted routines as his oblivious and near-sighted bungler is falsely suspected of masterminding a jewel heist.
Pre-release protests by members of the National Federation of the Blind led to Disney adding this at the end: "The preceding film is not intended as an accurate portrayal of blindness or poor eyesight. Blindness or poor eyesight does not imply an impairment of one's ability to be employed in a wide range of jobs, raise a family, perform important civic duties or engage in a well-rounded life. All people with disabilities deserve a fair chance to live and work without being impeded by prejudice." Several critics (including Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert) found this insincere disclaimer more amusing than anything else in the film.
5 Cheaper By The Dozen
The 2003 Cheaper by the Dozen is a remake of the 1950 film of the same name (itself based on a true story), but there are several key differences — for starters, the earlier version doesn't include a sequence in which a kid slips in the puddle of puke his brother produced moments earlier. Sure, it's a gut-buster for the under-12 set, but adults will find the film's humor on the sophomoric side and won't miss that the "heartwarming" moments are more likely to cause heartburn.
As the dad forced to babysit a houseful of kids while Mom (Bonnie Hunt) tries to make it as an author, Steve Martin continues to chip away at his once-vibrant career. Meanwhile, Ashton Kutcher appears uncredited, playing an annoying model-actor who not only realizes that his looks are his meal ticket but also admits that he has no acting talent whatsoever. Sometimes they make it too easy.
4 Wolf Creek
Mileage may vary per viewer, but isn't there something distasteful about releasing a movie as sadistic and nihilistic as Wolf Creek on a day that's supposed to be all about family and generosity?
Writer-director Greg McLean's 2005 film strands three college-age kids (Cassandra McGrath, Kestie Morassi, and Nathan Phillips) in the Australian Outback, where they meet a hulking roughneck (John Jarratt) who proceeds to slice and dice them as he sees fit. Wolf Creek bills itself as "Based On Real Events"-- a dubious claim since the film is rife with the sort of boneheaded plotting that can only be found in sub-par thrillers of this nature.
As if releasing this on December 25 wasn't disturbing enough, there's also a scene in which one of the young protagonists finds himself attached to a wall crucifix-style, with his arms outstretched and nails hammered through the palms of his hands. Father, forgive them, for they clearly know not what they do.
3 The Spirit
Will Eisner's seminal comic strip The Spirit deserved far better than this wretched camp outing, a film in which every jokey, self-aware remark lands with the force of an atomic bomb laying waste to a sand castle.
The plot of this 2008 atrocity finds The Spirit (a dull Gabriel Macht) facing off against his perennial nemesis The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), a madman who's intent on acquiring a potion that will render him immortal. Jackson's performance might be the worst of his career, with writer-director Frank Miller further accommodating him via some horrendous dialogue and situations. As but one example, the first battle finds The Octopus smashing a toilet over The Spirit's head and laughing maniacally while declaring, "Toilets are always funny!" (this movie would know, since it clearly deserves to be flushed down one). Jackson even gets to dress up like a Nazi officer in one scene — why? We couldn't tell you.
The visuals are occasionally eye-popping and the supporting cast includes Scarlett Johansson and Sarah Paulson, but even these niceties can't compensate for the rest of this 10-ton turkey.
2 Pinocchio
Aside from Disney's 1940 masterpiece, Carlos Collodi's Pinocchio has been the source of many dubious film adaptations, including 1964's animated Pinocchio In Outer Space and 1971's X-rated The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio (advertised with the tagline "It's Not His Nose That Grows!"). In the annals of bad cinema, though, no version will ever approach writer-director-star Roberto Benigni's 2002 take on the tale.
This Italian effort is a monumental achievement in practically every facet of inept filmmaking: joyless, idiotic, annoying, heavy-handed, visually atrocious, and often downright creepy. The 50-year-old Benigni cast himself as the wooden puppet who longs to become a real boy, and his performance is both tiresome and terrifying. As for the Cricket, the Fox, and the Cat, their mere presence has the power to disturb impressionable young minds straight into adulthood.
As the rancid cherry on top, the dubbing by English-speaking actors (among them Regis Philbin, Glenn Close, and Breckin Meyer as Pinocchio) is particularly poor, with the words matching the lip movements about as well as those imported kung-fu flicks from the '70s.
1 Patch Adams
This ghastly 1998 release casts Robin Williams (in a cloying performance) as a medical student who believes in the adage "Laughter is the best medicine." Patch does whatever it takes to bring smiles to the faces of the ill people around him — this includes dancing with bedpans on his feet and swimming in a pool filled with 12,000 pounds of wet noodles. But his unorthodox behavior stirs the wrath of the university's humorless dean (Bob Gunton), who you know is the bad guy because his face is often lit from underneath, thereby giving him that menacing aura usually reserved for rapists and serial killers. Patch also annoys a fellow physician (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who's actually the most sensible character in the film but is treated by the hack filmmakers as a lout simply because he won't wear a clown nose like the insufferable Adams.
Patch Adams offensively trots out every hoary plot device, no matter how improbable, exploitative or downright moronic. Incidentally, the film is based on a real individual, Hunter "Patch" Adams, who needless to say, despises the picture.
Any guesses on if this year's Christmas releases will join these ranks? Let us know in the comments!

- Grazers. As lifestyles have altered, the long-established three meals a day have been replaced by a tendency to graze or eat on the run. Convenience plays a large amount in this group's choice of venue.
- The emergence of a considerable group of retired populace with a higher level of disposable income and improved leisure time. Study indicates that this grouping tends to eat out during the daylight hours as a leisure pursuit.
- Working women. Married women undertake more than 60% of all household chores, hence easy access to meals is welcomed as one less task to partake. Price tends to be a significant factor affecting the choice of this unit, next to the quality of the food.
If you are starting a restaurant in Boaz, AL you should
- Make out the finest site in order to pull towards you footfall. If you are planning to rely by word of mouth and build up your business over a very extended period, location will play a significant element in the eventual victory of your venture.
- Settle into your working routine (and make sure your human resources are accustomed with their jobs!) and then invite reviewers from the Boaz media to carry out a restaurant evaluation - a decent appraisal is liable to boost local interest in your trade.
- Make sure you're listed in district food and restaurant guides. This will involve enrolling with the Boaz holiday guides and this will also rally round folk from outside of the immediate locale.
- Publicize in publications perused by your intended addressees. Boazbusiness magazines and newspapers frequently proffer moderately priced advertising space.
- Stand out from the competition by selecting an exclusive icon or theme and applying it to your furnishings, workers uniforms, dishes and cutlery, and menus.
- Advertise several audiences depending on the time of the day or season of the year. Equally daytime and evening menus might be provided, with daily specials accessible to alter the everyday bill of fare.
- Use special offers to boost business during slack periods, with mid-afternoon bargains for pupils and elder diners, and special kid's menus open to be a magnet for families. Christmas is an essential spell for most restaurants, given that it offers the chance to build up trade through corporate parties and can be an introduction to your restaurant for likely new clients who may possibly come back throughout the rest of the year.
As word-of-mouth hype is of the greatest weight for Boaz restaurants, it is crucial that your customer service should always be assiduous, speedy and well-mannered!

I took my parrot in on september 18th because she really wasn't eating much and not talking at all. She also was weak and sleeping alot during the day-something she NEVER does. The vet put her on Timentin for 10 days po and an antifungal im injection for 7 days-last dose given this morning. The vet did cxray, cbc, liver panel think that's it, all labs were wnl except for low wbcs'.
I'm just worried because although she is eating much better she's still weak and not talking. I'm not sure if she's improving or getting worse...very hard to tell right now. After we give her the meds also she appears to be off balance for a bit maybe 10-20 seconds. The cxray was clear only thing the liver was smaller than normal? Well, any input you have would be greatly appreciated, today is Sept 24, 2009 and I'm just not sure what to do now, thanks Mary

While diving in the Galápagos Islands, Sandro Lonardi took a break between dives to snorkel with sea lions. "At first they were all on the island, but slowly they entered the water and started to play with us," says the Your Shot member. "They were a bit shy, but as I started to imitate them, they become more familiar and started to get closer and closer. It was a great moment."
Lonardi's picture recently appeared in Your Shot's Daily Dozen.

If a pet has ingested a poison or it is suspected that a pet has ingested
poison, it is important to remain calm and immediately contact a vet. Time
is of the essence in cases of poisoning. Once medical attention has been
sought, it will also help to know what poison a pet has consumed as this
effects the treatment.
If poison is suspected due to behavior there are a
couple things to consider once medical attention has been sought. Snake bites
can create a reaction similar to that of poison. Typically there will be
a noticeable bite mark. Location has an impact on the toxic risks that a
pet faces. Not only snakes but certain toads if licked or swallowed by a
pet can cause serious problems. In some areas plants are also toxic. For
dogs some fairly common poisons include rat poison, chocolate, antifreeze
and eating trash. While eating trash most commonly results in minor to moderate
digestive trouble from consuming either inappropriate or spoiled foods, there
is the potential for a dog to eat something more dangerous/toxic.
items can also be toxic for cats, yet they also face a risk from being given
medicines intended for dogs. Whether it is flea and tick treatments, or pain
relievers, these products intended for dogs can be toxic for cats. While
there are some products that can be used on dogs and cats, it is important
to make sure that any product used on a cat specifically states that it is
a cat friendly product.
Similarly, there is a risk for pets taking human
products. Occasionally there are human medicines that are recommended for
pets, but this should never be done without explicit instructions from a
vet on the type of medicine and the dosage. Many human medicines are toxic
to pets, and need to be kept away from them. If the source of the poison
is a product such as a medicine, rat poison, or cleaning product bring the
packaging with you to the vet as this may provide clues to the vet on how
treatment should proceed. While prevention is obviously best, often it is
only after a pet has come in contact with a poison that the risk is understood.
The ASPCA also has a poison control number which can help in determining
the poison, and providing care instruction. Acting quickly and calmly can
be essential to your pet's health.

A Sheffield man has hailed the 'hero' pilot who successfully grounded his flight to Las Vegas after it developed landing gear problems.
Shaun Littler, one of 462 people on board the Virgin Atlantic flight from London Gatwick to Las Vegas, said he panicked after first hearing the pilot would have to make an emergency landing.
Pilot David Williams – who was forced to circle for three hours before dumping fuel – instructed passengers to adopt the brace position as he landed the Boeing 747 jumbo jet back at Gatwick with just three sets of wheels deployed.
Shaun, of Handsworth, said: "We'd been in the air about 45 minutes when the captain said 'I have some bad news'. He told us there was a problem with the landing gears and would have to perform an emergency landing.
"I panicked thinking it meant a crash landing, but we were reassured by the flight crew the plane would still land safely.
"We worked out the pilot would have to land with one set of wheels missing, but first he tried everything he could to fix the problem, like swerving the plane up and down and left and right.
"Then the order came to adopt the brace position and he somehow landed the plane.
"We came in at an angle and took a bounce before hitting the ground again, and everyone on board cheered in relief."
Shaun, who took a later flight to America with friends for his holiday, said: "The pilot's performance was heroic and the Virgin crew really looked after us."
Dad-of-three Mr Williams, who has more than 20 years of flying experience, said: "I was only doing my job."
But Shaun, aged 24, a hotel receptionist in Manchester, said: "It was only when I turned my phone on and got a panicked text from my girlfriend, that I realised how serious it could have been."
Caroline Oatway, Shaun's girlfriend, aged 23, said: "Shaun's stepdad, David Metcalfe, called and told me not to panic, but to turn on the news. I saw the headline and the photos of the plane but it took a minute to register.
"Then I recognised the flight number and realised Shaun was on that plane.
"I could only focus on the words 'landing gear problem' on screen and a million questions went through my head.
"I knew I couldn't contact Shaun and that he'd be panicking. He isn't the most confident flyer anyway and I cannot begin to imagine what was going through the minds of the passengers as they were circling."

(Radio.com) Linkin Park surprised fans yesterday (Mar 5) with the release of "Guilty All The Same," the debut track from their forthcoming untitled album. The song mysteriously showed up in the feeds of Shazam user's who searched for the band within the mobile app.
On Tuesday, at a press conference announcing Linkin Park's upcoming tour with Thirty Seconds to Mars and AFI, Radio.com got a chance to speak with the band's two frontmen, Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington, who explained why "Guilty All The Same" seemed like the perfect song to reintroduce the band.
"The reason we went with this single first is that we think it's a good look into the DNA of the record that we're putting out this summer," Shinoda said of the guitar-shredding 6-minute track.
"A few months ago I was making some demos and writing this stuff and it sounded like something that you could play on the radio," Shinoda explained. "I listen to a lot of indie music… and I was listening to the demos and thought, I don't want to make any of that music. What is it that's not out there right now that I'm all about, that I'm fired up about that is a void? It ended up being this new material."
He added, "It's louder; it's more visceral than probably anything we've done recently. And we're all really proud of it."
The song features an epic intro, which at first listen could be mistaken for that of labelmate, Avenged Sevenfold. But nearly three minutes into the relentlessly hard rocking song, legendary MC Rakim can be heard spitting a few rhymes.
"That's like one of my idols," exclaimed Shinoda. "If you get into the nitty-gritty of his rhyme pattern and the topic in this song, it's bananas what he is doing. He's on the some Steve Vai s*** vocally." more on this story

Strong show of force in Vidor aimed at keeping residents safe after massive flooding
The town of Vidor is getting a lot of attention tonight with dozens of law enforcement officers patrolling the streets looking for would-be criminals.
"It is, I gotta say, probably the lowest of the low. Shows their ethics and morals and I believe they will be punished in the gates of Hell," said Vidor Police Chief Rod Carroll.
He said about 80 officers were on hand Wednesday night and by 10 pm had already caught and arrested one person for violating the curfew and having outstanding felony warrants.
Carroll says that show of force is necessary, because 90 percent of Vidor is without power, making the city that much more appealing for criminals and the work of officers a little harder.
That didn't stop them however from tracking down Vidor resident, Tyra O'Brien, an already convicted felon, who now stands accused of terrorizing a number of Vidor neighborhoods after curfew.
"We've been looking for him for two days but we're unable to locate him until last night when several of my officers came upon him," said Carroll.
The curfew remains in effect from 8 pm until 6 am.
