DCHS's three divisions—Community Services, Developmental Disabilities, and Mental Health, Chemical Abuse and Dependency Services—each have Employment and Education programs, which aim to enable citizens to obtain living wage jobs.
Through these programs, King County serves over twelve thousand individuals each year, the great majority of whom are low income and may also face barriers to obtaining work due to disabilities, lower-education, homelessness, or involvement with the criminal justice system.
Until recently, however, in trying to achieve success in specific programs targeting the discrete customer populations that each division serves, the divisions were missing opportunities to share resources and insights in order to better connect job seekers with employers.
The three divisions of King County's Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) weren't coordinating their efforts at serving King County's job seekers.
For several month, DCHS has been changing that. "We wanted to know what 'better' would look like," says Deputy Director Josephine Wong, explaining how DCHS asked some fundamental questions about the work it was doing and began developing ways to improve for both job seekers and businesses. "Are we meeting the needs of the community? Is it equitable? Is it accessible?"
DCHS developed a "line of business" plan that re-focused and standardized the department's employment and
education work around meeting the needs of its customers, King County's job seekers and businesses seeking workers.
What is a Line of Business?
Lines of Business are the County operations that produce and deliver specific services or products such as stormwater management, elections, or emergency medical services. Lines of Business often involve more than one county agency. Likewise, individual agencies may be involved in several lines of business; for example, the Department of Transportation is the primary agency for the Roads line of business, the Airport line of business, and the Public Transportation line of business.
How is Line of Business planning different from traditional planning?
* Line of business planning focuses on customers, the residents of King County
* It is collaborative thinking that crosses organizational lines
* The time horizon is significantly longer (ten years versus one year)
* Line of Business planning identifies potential challenges and assesses scenario alternatives (if this, then that)
How does King County do Line of Business Planning?
King County agencies plan their Lines of Business by identifying products and value streams, determining product metrics, assessing strategic issues, forecasting demand, developing cost models, analyzing possible alternatives for addressing problems, and incorporating all of this planning into budgets.
To assist agency planning, the Office of Performance, Strategy & Budget (PSB) provides tools and templates, such for capacity and demand forecasting, value stream mapping, or product performance metrics. PSB also provides training and ongoing support to agencies as they develop Line of Business plans.
Who are our customers and what do they need?
Talking with each other about a single organizational purpose for Employment and Education was itself a breakthrough, explains Gretchen Bruce, who managed the initial line of business planning process within DCHS.
One of the drawbacks of working in silos—even if each of the divisions was doing their piece well—is that the people in the organizations might not spot opportunities to marry their efforts to have greater impact.
Revisiting the basic question "Who are our customers and what do they need?" was crucial to improvement, says Bruce. And it propelled DCHS into some fearless analysis of their own work.
DCHS assessed gaps in employment and education support in the region—whether provided by King County or other organizations—identifying the ways in which King County's employment and education work is most needed. The department also determined that other providers fill certain niches well already, without need for King County intervention.
What they found:
- King County's role is most influential and necessary in helping populations that face barriers to accessing mainstream supports and are left behind economically in low wage/low skills jobs. As the final line of business plan notes, "Few other providers or regional coordinators have the resources or influence to support this low skilled/high need population. However, great gains are to be made in helping this cohort achieve self-sufficiency, community inclusion, and reduced use of publicly-funded services."
- Certain cohorts, such as high skilled workers seeking high salary jobs, are already served well by other entities.
- King County is uniquely positioned to engage both employees and employers, serving as a bridge, as it were, between those seeking work and those seeking workers.
In the past, the county had focused more on the job seekers than on the needs of the employers, acknowledges Gretchen Bruce. The line of business focus on delivering value to customers helped the people in the department to recognize that, in order to be successful, the county would have to better serve employers as well, in part by better providing job seekers with the skills and knowledge that employers want.
Highlighting shared priorities spurred rich discussions among staff that helped them identify opportunities to use resources more collaboratively. The department's emphasis on forging better connections to businesses is an example. Veterans Program Manager Nancy Loverin explains, "We don't currently have capacity at the department level to market to businesses, but there is a nine-person team with the Seattle King County WorkSource System doing it already as part of a program. Why don't we link all of our divisions to that business team?"
A Standard Approach to Business
Because each division focused on a unique demographic, it felt like each was doing very different work. In their discussions, though, they saw the same basic elements in much of their work, helping them align work and share insights across their programs and divisions.
- Each division had a similar set of processes, such as intake, assessment, training, and job placement.
- Each division had similar customers and stakeholders (such as people seeking work or new skills, schools, courts, and employers)
- Each division had a similar product (helping people gain employment or develop certain skills) and similar metrics by which to measure success.
They experienced common challenges and shared opportunities to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their work. And, as in the case of Loverin identifying an opportunity with the business marketing team, the team is now seeing more ways in which they can share the functional pieces of their work, such as intake or job placement resources, even if the divisions and specific programs have a variety of objectives and target populations.
Employment and education work shares many common processes, products, and metrics – regardless of division or program or target customer.
This sort of collaborative thinking in service of customer outcome goals helped DCHS develop strategies that increase the department's capacity to make the most out of its resources.
With a common understanding of the County's employment and education goals and a more coordinated approach to achieving them across programs, everyone can concentrate their efforts where they can do the most good — on knowing our customers and meeting their needs.
This was high-level PDCA, checking and adjusting the county's work in order to best achieve the mission of serving King County citizens.
Today, the staff from the three divisions are talking more among each other, planning together, and making tactical decisions based on what helps the County's employment and education work as a whole.
Teams are exploring ways to integrate the education and employment resources and services with other client needs, such as housing, healthcare, transportation, childcare, and more, with the ultimate King County goal of a seamless, integrated whole-person array of human services for individuals and families.

Today is Monday, when our class has already started for a whole week. All of us are keen on the different activities and teaching so far. So we were so excited to begin the challenging class today.
When we gathered together at our classroom in High School Building in the morning, Mrs. Pollina mentioned everyone that we would have a hiking later. To be honest, I love hiking with friends. It is a good opportunities for me to get close to the nature and relax. I hardly go hiking before because the school didn't give me any chance to do that. However, my class has a big relationship to the environment. Therefore, every time I heard that we have hiking, I just started to imagine how interesting it would be.
We had hiking last week, which was so much fun; but this time, it is more difficult and challenging. Mrs. Pollina gave everyone a map and a compass. There were 15 special points; we need to write down our direction when we pass the signs. Using the compass is the only way that can help us. We put the map on the binder, grasp a panel, and wait to go.
The hiking place was not far away from school this time; it is on the north of the East Hampton. It is called The Grace Estate. There were nearly 3 miles in total. After 15 minutes' drive, we arrived the region and then we began to walk. The path was peaceful; I enjoyed the crow of birds and the sounds of leaves by breeze. I saw some houses nearby the path; they were all fancy and quiet. Sometimes I had to use the compass to figure out what my direction was, otherwise, I would not know which way I should choose when the path was branched off. Unfortunately, some of us walked on wrong paths and had to be called back by teachers. The most attractive part of this tour was the way we pass by the beach. Many seagulls soared upon the blue and clear sea, which is called Northwest Harbor. The wind from the sea was so strong that I am not able to hear what my friend's saying. I will not forget the entrancing scenery.
In the afternoon, we had a game called The Cornucopia Battle. It was about each of us stood around the small objects. When Mrs. Pollina gave us the order, we would rush to them and grasp as much as we can. Different objects represented different resources we will use in Hunger Games. For example, the rings will represent weapons. Furthermore, we had flags surrounded our waist. If we lost our flags, we would not be supposed to gain any more resources. The whole competition was short but intense. Eventually, everyone received some small pieces of sheets which were represented our resources.
After we went back to our class with our "resources", Mrs. Pollina show us the big map of our Hunger Games. It was a board game. All of us had our own chess piece, which represented our characters. We rolled the dices to know how far could our characters move. Meanwhile, we wrote down what would we do on a paper each round and then handed it in. We played the first round as the practice. The game was a little complicated for us but we were fine soon.
In conclusion, we had a tired but meaningful day today, I can't wait to imagine the fun tomorrow.

Gov. Strickland on Ohio Chamber of Commerce: "They are an irrelevant… Republican organization."
(Source: Marc Kovak @ Ohio Capital Blog)
I've heard from multiple sources throughout Columbus that the Ohio Chamber of Commerce has received mostly negative feedback both before, but especially after, they endorsed in the Governor's race.
I've been told several businesses have called to say that they've now decided NOT to join the Chamber over this endorsement.
And from what little I can obtain about who was on this 12-member board on the PAC that made a decision that was supposed to reflect the over 4,000 members of the Chamber (none of whom had an opportunity to give their input) is that they were, as the Governor suggested, shall we say more than just causal Republicans.
Governor Strickland just sent the Ohio Chamber of Commerce a dead fish wrapped in a newspaper. And a warning—don't expect the same ear I gave you when I win re-election. The fact is that in his first term, Governor Strickland was attentive to the needs and desires of the Ohio Chamber. His critics on the left have said that he's been too accommodating.
Well, Ted just told the Chamber that they've made their bed, and they'll have to lie in it if he wins. I was asked by a good friend/fellow political hawk watcher what I thought was behind the Chamber endorsements since the Chamber had long signaled its intent to remain neutral as its tradition. I said the endorsements seemed to me to be a "bandwagon" type endorsement. Something the Chamber only did because they saw the public polling that suggested that Kasich was running away with the election. Unfortunately for the Chamber, those polls were clearly wrong. And now they're stuck with being seen as nothing more than an arm of the GOP, wed to a candidate whose numbers are falling off a cliff.
At this point, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Chamber try to distance itself from its own endorsement.
Brian Hicks is on the Board of Directors for the Ohio Chamber as well as the VP from Timken company
Republican for sure
You had me at Timken, but yes, I'd say having the former chief-of-staff of Taft involved would suggest partisan influence.

Finding and keeping track of volunteers is an integral part of organizing any event. VolSched makes this task a bit easier. Create an event, add jobs that need doing, add shifts for which volunteers can sign up, and give the handy URL to potential volunteers. They can decide what they want to help with and when they want to help, and you can see who has signed up. You even get the option of making your event findable to people without the URL, so you can recruit volunteers using VolSched itself. Your volunteers only need to enter their contact information once to volunteer for all the events you (and others using VolSched) hold.
Best of all, VolSched is entirely free to use.

Join the party and have a virtual cupcake as we celebrate the 100th post on Hot Flashbacks, and I round the bend on nearly two years of blogging. Something you might notice about Hot Flashbacks, Cool Insights. We celebrate milestones.
Past festivities include our first birthday party on September 17, 2008. On June 17, 2009, we had a rebirthday celebration, marking a new blog direction. This 100th blog post is close enough to our second birthday—it's a two-fer!
100th Post Giveaway: The first 10 people to Comment on this post will receive a free copy of "The Training Tape," Joyce's new e-book.
Now's a great time to put into perspective what you've most liked to read here, what you were looking for that led you here, and, and how our cool saging to spirited living community has grown. Statistics can be a bit of a bore, so I'll keep it short but sweet like cupcake frosting for the bigger substance later about blogging as a journey.
Growth and Recognition
Visits have quadrupled over the past year and readers have more than tripled. People from twice as many countries read Hot Flashbacks now. Most readers wave the following flags by frequency of visits: US, UK, Brazil, Canada, Belgium, and Australia. I am grateful that Hot Flashbacks has been recognized by fellow bloggers, who double as some of the world's most avid blog readers, with both Lemonade and Kreativ Blogger Awards. In Fall 2008, I was named one of the 101 Women Bloggers to Watch by WE Magazine for busy women on the move.
Top 10 Articles
In case you've missed any of the Top 10, here's an annotated blogography of the best of Hot Flashbacks based on popularity by volume of visits.
1. The No Soliciting Sign - The popularity of this post—five times the hits of any other and the post with the most accessed via search terms—made me realize I'd hit a nerve and had the potential to fill a need. My sign requests, "No soliciting—religion and religious literature included," and many people were searching for something like it. While the post shares how I evolved from an angry to a gentle place with my request to respect my privacy and spiritual path, I saw an opportunity to serve. In the near future, I will be selling newly arted version of "my sign" and another one recently designed with a similar, gentle sentiment about solicitations. Watch for it!
2. Venus Girls, Boomer Beauty – The perennial question of how much we "help" nature to maintain our good looks as we age hit a chord with readers of all ages.
3. Auntie Mame: A Tale for Today, Tomorrow and Always – My heroine and favorite character of all time has the one philosophy that says it all, "Live, live, live!" Mame not only tells us about how to live life with pizzazz, but her story covers how she handled the 1929 crash of the stock market and its aftermath, a timely parallel for today.
4. It Runs Downhill - How my dog got literal about a popular expression and continuously proved that dogs are among the funniest beings on earth. They outsmart us, sometimes by playing dumb, while we're cleaning up after them or laughing at their antics.
5. Boomer Tube Babies – How early TV influenced the first generation that cut its teeth on Howdy Doody and a host of other characters revisited on this nostalgia trip. We were the first kids who were exposed to advertising early in life. How did it form us?
6. Penny Candy: Sweet Memories – A nostalgia trip down Memory Lane with a big color illustration of the stuff we often saved up, and walked miles for, to satisfy our sweet tooth. Flashbacks on Mary Janes, Bazooka Gum, Laffy Taffy, and Tootsie Rolls, just for starters. Includes links to places online where vintage treats are still available.
7. Flower Essences: Emotional First Aid, Boomer Plus Edition – Before I became a certified flower essence practitioner in 1989, I would have said you were crazy if you had told me that a few drops of liquid containing the vital energy of flowers could calm my emotions. A tool for a cool life that's good to the last drop.
8. The Fairy Godmother – I have the gift for gifts, and in this Christmas season post, I share some of my most original gift ideas. Plan ahead to surprise your loved ones with some nifty gifties!
9. Tone Deaf – How to buy a custom ring tone without breaking the bank, deal with hearing loss and irritating rings, and navigate all kinds of cell phone and hearing things.
10. Dreams—Waking and Sleeping – A primer on decoding the messages in your night movies.
Born to Blog
According to my research, Justin Hall, is widely recognized as one of the earliest personal bloggers. He started in 1994 while a student at Swarthmore College. Like anyone before his time, it took the rest of us awhile to catch up with him. When I was first advised to start a blog in 2007 as a way to begin to get readers, ultimately of my books, I had to look up the definition of blog. I had no idea that I'd take to this medium like a duck to water, mostly because I didn't have any idea what kind of pond we were taking about. Thanks to some fabulous friends I made at Boomer Diva Nation, I got a quick how-to course and was a fast study. Lots of jumping in and swimming in the waters of trial-and-error honed my skills. With a little help from my friends, I became good enough at it to take some huge leaps of faith …
… like starting my second blog, The Radical Virgo. I made that jump blindfolded in March 2009, thanks to encouragement by an avid reader of my astrology articles, housed on other Internet sites. Soon I realized I could repost them and draw people into current contact with me, since the primary site where they were archived was no longer being updated and my contact information there was dated. My return to astrology, at least as a writer, if not a consultant, gave me the strongest feedback that I had really "become a blogger." I knew I wasn't just trying my hand at it anymore when the Radical Virgo's visitor statstics began surpassing those of this more established Hot Flashbacks blog right out of the gate. The Radical Virgo hasn't even celebrated its four-month anniversary and it has been running in the top 20 of Post Rank's Top 100 Astrology Blogs, #14 as of this writing. To say I am honored is an understatement. I was beginning to realize that blogging for me is like eating potato chips; can't eat or have just one, and the more you eat the more you want!
The Problem and the Gift
Therein lies both the problem and the gift. I now enjoy blogging so much, I am neglecting book writing. I keep joking that by the time I get around to doing some redirection and editing of both my memoir and mystery novel, paper books might be passé. Part of me feels I'm in the medium of the future, yet being a baby boomer, I love the feel of paper books and the medium of the past. The great news is that publishing is becoming multi-media. It took me awhile to "get" that all bloggers are not just writers; we are also publishers.
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts. ~ Richard Bach
One wonderful aspect of blogging: It's a test balloon. If it weren't for my blog, I would have continued focusing my memoir toward a baby boomer audience. It took that forum for experimentation to clarify to me that the real essence of my book is sharing how I learned to play the symbols and the guidance we are presented constantly on how to make the best choices for ourselves. I can't imagine where I'd be today without dreams, meaningful coincidences, and an assortment of cosmic nudges. Cool saging—yes!—but we can't even do that in a customized way without those personalized hints from On High.
My adventure into my astrology blog reminded me that I'd been there and done it before in the old paper medium. From 1992-95, I co-edited—later edited and published—a high-quality astrological newsletter called Chironicles. It was dedicated to helping astrologers share information on the relatively new planetary body discovered in 1977, Chiron. (There is so much information on Chiron on The Radical Virgo, I refer you there if you're interested in learning more about the planet associated with healing, life's purpose, and wholeness.)
To be able to compare blogging to the publication of Chironicles a decade and a half ago makes me understand why I am so much more at home and in love with electronic media. Things I had to pay a graphic artist and Kinko's copying service to do back then, I can do myself and enjoy thoroughly. With incredible effort, I don't think our subscription base at Chironicles ever exceeded 150 paid subscribers. Granted, Chiron was a new astrological entity that appealed to the leading edge and was not yet everyone's cup of tea, but our following was international. I keep thinking of the costs I save with my electronic blogs, including pricey overseas postage. I am pleasantly surprised how The Radical Virgo has taken off and exceeded in four months by five-fold the readership I worked so hard to build over a four-year period in with Chironicles. If I hadn't stepped out on faith to create The Radical Virgo, I'm not sure I would have ever connected the dots to realize how much past experience I brought to blogging and how much better it is than the way of the past.
New Vistas
With the launch of my first short fiction e-book, The Training Tape, and an astrology e-book on the near horizon, I seem to be deepening my commitment to what I like to call the eclectic, electronic ink of Joyce Mason.
Where I go from here is a bit up in the air, determined by my good old GPS (God Positioning System), but as the transferability from one writing medium to another becomes more fluid day by day, I can only say: I'm loving this wild ride. I hope you're "in" for the continued adventure!

These are a few bits I picked up in the last week, many of these are the first bits I've tried from the brands like Illmasqua, Kevyn Aucoin and hourglass so I'm really excited to try them out!
From Spacenk I made my first order, honestly I've lusted after many of their products for ages but the high end brands aren't really too suited to my pocket at most times.So I took advantage of the £10 off offer and ordered the Kevyn Aucoin the creamy glow duo #2 and the Hourglass hidden corrective concealer. I did want to get the Hourglass ambient lighting blushes but I think they're more of the type of product to buy in person as they all vary in how much highlighter and blush they have.
I also repurchased the real techniques stipplish blush and got the miracle complexion sponge to try (apparently a dupe for the beauty blender).
From origins I got the ginzing moisturiser which came with a 30 ml sample of the night-a-mins.
Finally, yesterday a order from Illamasqua came, I got the powder blusher in hussey which looks divine!
As usual the reviews will be up once I've tested these beauties out!

He tends it, and starts to feed it his own blood when he accidently cuts his finger not realising it's an alien from outer space looking to take over the world.
Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's songs, composed in the style of early 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and early Motown, includes several well-known tunes, such as the title song, "Little Shop of Horrors" plus "Skid Row (Downtown)" and "Suddenly, Seymour".

Foundry and engineering industry
About company
JSC "CHPNZ" trade shop producing multi configuration springs.
Metal springs (according to: GOST, industrial standard, drawings): torsion spring production, compression spring winding, disc springs. Piping hangers and supports, retaining rings
Spring production according to (industrial standard)OST:
1. Your drawings.
2. Your samples.
3. We'll design and produce springs according to your requirements specification.
4. We'll draw up technical documentation for your spring.
5. Minimal amount to order 1 pcs.
Our company has developed the manufacture of springs, optional equipment including design documentation over a long period of time. During a year and a half we have proved our company to be a reliable partner in spite of hard competition. This became possible due to non-conventional approach to technology, economics, personnel formation, and also because of high decreasing of guarantee operation periods of production.
During that period of time main customers were generally Russian mineral resource and metallurgical industry plants. But unfortunately it was a period of economic recession and due to this fact economic relationships couldn't be developed properly.
For this reason top management has made a decision which has changed production strategy greatly.
The plant was provided with modern metal cutting equipment and due to this spring, spring cartridge production and production of the equipment became on a new quality level.
As a result a range of production enlarged greatly, and turned from consumer goods to the way of manufacturing cooperation, this fact helped the plant to develop foundry of grey cast iron. Nowadays a range of our products includes springs (according to GOST, industrial standard OST, drawings), bolts, nuts and other products from metal. We execute orders for producing of springs of different types and dimensions (torsion springs, extension springs and compression springs). We produce disk springs, railroad springs of "Hanin" with unique technical parameters. We have production of springs for farming machines and cars - valve springs and retaining rings.
Development of new technologies took a lot of time and cost a lot but it turned to be very effective, and in the we turned from work on secondary market to execution of orders for mineral resource and metallurgical industry plants.
It's well known that pricing policy is very tight but our large steady production volumes allow us to minimize financial risk and plan our production.
Due to the fact that the plant has been merged several times with different companies for 10 years it couldn't have the same name legal and law form, but the personnel remained, it's employing new specialists, partners and hope for a good cooperation in the future.
Today many producers of springs can not meet the requirements of individual characteristics and dimensions of springs, optional equipment that in most cases leads to impossible implementation of these products. JSC "CHPNZ" is specialized on individual orders for optional equipment and spare parts production, including piping hangers, metal springs according to your drawings. It is possible do make a design documentation by our specialists. We have the lowest prices for our springs and other products.
We give guarantee for all our equipment including springs, shafts and optional equipment. Hot spring winding is also available at our plant. Besides individual orders execution we can offer typical production – rear and front springs for VAZ cars, springs for other Russian and foreign car suspension and retaining rings. We can also offer for you to observe spring cartridges, metalware, high-strength door spring etc.
Order volume is not limited – it can be one spring or hundreds spare parts kits.

Tamper-Proof Clandestine Entrant Detection System
CamTrak has devised a unique intrusion detection system that will not only alert the driver of illegal entry to the vehicle, but it will also capture and send internal or external video footage live over the mobile network, and alert support teams.
Any unauthorised intrusion into the goods area will trigger the system to send alerts via SMS as well as internal and/or external camera footage to a cab monitor. Live streamed footage can also be sent over 3G to home base or a monitoring service.
The Road Haulage Association (RHA) estimate that clandestine entry into the UK financially impacts businesses to a total of £1 billion a year. This cost is accumulated by the disposal of loads following the contamination of goods when people gain access to a vehicle to enter the UK unlawfully. The cost to UK businesses can be astronomical having a knock on effect to supply chains and insurance for the loads being brought into the UK by road hauliers. The RHA have assessed the costs and predicted the following as an accurate cost to the UK on a daily basis:
£1 Billion A Year
£3 Million A Day
£30,000 Per Trailer
This cost does not take into account any fines individuals or businesses may face: a new law in the UK states that any drivers found to have illegal migrants on board face a fine of £2,000 per migrant. This can mean for example an HGV where a driver is found to be carrying 10 illegal migrants into the UK could face a fine of £20,000, regardless of whether the driver knowingly or unknowingly supplied passage into the UK. In 2014 £4.2 Million was paid in fines by drivers or companies found to be carrying migrants into the UK, this equates to 2,100 migrants found entering the UK illegally using a road haulier.
The Law in the UK is clear that it is the driver's responsibility to ensure his vehicles seals haven't been broken and migrants haven't entered his vehicle illegally.
CamTrak systems can assist with live time alerts should an unauthorised person enter your vehicle to steal or stowaway. Using our own designed internal intruder technology with our 3G GSM video accident camera systems we can deliver your drivers live time alerts and images should your vehicle be targeted.

We did an Artist Study on Friday afternoon and the boys learned about Auguste Rodin. They learned that he used rock and carved away at it, and that to submit models he often used clay to show what he'd do with rock in the end. So then I gave them so play-doh and a "carving" tool and set the to work. I'm not entirely sure they got the idea of carving, but they had fun and are very intrigued by The Man With A Broken Nose. (aka The Roman..)
Jayden got into the carving too, and was going to carve an apple, but he decided in the end that the stem and leaf would be too much work, so he opted to try Peter Rabbit instead..
Jayden made a few other pieces, but promptly destroyed them to "start again" because he was having so much fun. He was also highly insulted that I was going to fill out this Artist Form with the information he dictated to me. So, he filled some of it out himself.

The script for "The Answer Man" was once voted one of the top unproduced screenplays in Hollywood.
Logic follows, then, that in its produced version, with a cast that includes Jeff Daniels, Lauren Graham, Kat Dennings and Olivia Thirlby, it should be one of the top movies. Which just goes to show you how illogical movies are.
In finished form, "The Answer Man" is an uneven dramedy about a reclusive author who once wrote a book about his purported conversations with God and has spent the rest of his life avoiding the fans who've turned it into a best seller.
I never cleared an important hurdle here: Buying into the idea that Faber's obviously facetious literary premise, that he sat down and talked with God, was taken literally by so many people - so much so that they search for him as if he were J.D. Salinger, and ask for spiritual insights as if he were the Dalai Lama. That is, when they can find him and get through his cranky outer shell, which is almost never.
But Daniels ("The Squid and the Whale") excels at playing prickly eccentrics, and he's good enough here to keep us engaged with Faber, the recluse who's forced to confront the world when terrible back problems lead him to the office of a foxy chiropractor (Lauren Graham).
She's cute, funny and utterly unimpressed with his celebrity, all of which Faber finds fascinating. She's also an available single mom who smothers her only son as she tries to protect him from emotional and physical injury.
You can see the parallel structures that had people drooling over the screenplay. Every character is fearful and blocked; they see their problems in other people, but never themselves, etc.
There's a third main character, a recovering alcoholic bookstore owner (Lou Taylor Pucci) whose life also intersects with Faber's. He can't break out of the cycle of dependency he's inherited from his father, who invites him daily to drink again.
But the movie's many parallels leave it feeling schematic when it isn't focused on Daniels and Graham, who have such good comic timing they overcome all flaws.
One other selling point for locals: The movie, shot in downtown Philadelphia with spring in full bloom, is a visual love letter to Center City.

Marvel Studios, Transformers 4, The Secret Service: June 28th Comic Reel
At this year's Saturn Awards, Yahoo! Movies spoke with both Joss Whedon and Clark Gregg about the properties they'd like to take on in the future.
"I think it's time for the 'Howard the Duck' reboot that nobody expects," Whedon told Yahoo! Movies.
Meanwhile Clark Gregg has a secret desire to actually be Captain Marvel.
"I like that I'm not a superhero. It'd be a little implausible, and I don't want to eat chicken breasts and spend as much time at the gym as poor [Chris] Hemsworth does," Gregg said. "But, I was a big… see, I can't say this because these guys are like, giant muscular superheroes, but if I had a magical transformation, I wouldn't mind being Captain Marvel. Although, there's a new Captain Marvel in the comics who's a lady alien, and she's hot. I would be a lady alien Captain Marvel."
MichaelBay.com has posted a photo of another "Transformers 4" vehicle, the 2014 Argosy cab-over truck by Freightliner.

That was the topic of our panel discussion yesterday in which I had the honor of being a panelist. I didn't voice out even a tenth of what I wanted to say during the discussion, because I didn't want to cry and we would run out of time. But as I sat in church this morning, I let it all out. I cried.
Here's what I had to let out and let go of, so I can move forward: How long will I have to pay for my ancestors being among those who were left behind? It is not my fault and every single day in this country, I feel guilty about slavery. I can never come to terms with it. But I can't change slavery. I can only change what is going on now; help to fix the aftermath of slavery. As I assimilate and imbibe the beautiful things about the American culture, I would like to share those things about the Nigerian culture that I intend to teach to my child which have been lost through the years in the African American culture, those things I never want to forget. But nobody wants to listen to me. Maybe not nobody! But you get the drift. There aren't enough people who want to know.
I even wrote a book about it. And while some understood and loved it, others have called me prideful and arrogant, perceiving my confidence and pride in my heritage to be me looking down on African Americans. Some think that I am saying Nigeria is better than America and I have to remind them that Nigeria is a developing country and though there are several good things about Nigeria that you don't see on TV, they are missing the point.
We do have tribalism and religious divides in Nigeria. But we will come together in a heartbeat against any other group of people. The one thing nobody expects in a developed country is resistance from other black folk because it does not happen like that among blacks in Europe.
Yesterday, we all agreed that to fix the divide between African American and Africans, we would need to collaborate and unite more, we would need to educate our kids, African Americans would need to visit Africa more, we would need to show people in Africa the worst of America (for balance), we would all need to study each other's cultures more and be more tolerant of our differences. Most of all, if we concentrate more on the ways we are alike than the ways we are different, the world would be a much better place.
One of the statements I found to be the most profound yesterday was when John McQueen mentioned that what changed his life was when he spent a year and a half in Europe and he got a chance to see America as the world sees it and realize there truly are opportunities. And it saddened me when he mentioned that he did not grow up knowing America was full of opportunities and it was not taught to him. I realized that growing up to see and know that the world is full of opportunity was special and we all need to make sure we instill that in our kids. If you want it, go get it. It's there. But nobody is going to hand it to you.
Another issue that touched me was when Alistair Edwards said he was taught that when you meet people, the next thing you do is ask what you can do for them to make their life better. That is a winner!
Delson Adeoye and Muyiwa Babalola went so deep into history and research on this issue, they had my head spinning!!! Brandi Mitchell reminded us that whether giving service, or being serviced, as African Americans/ Blacks in general, we need to step it up and make sure we are competitive in the business world and providing quality service. And if we are receiving service, appreciate and value it, pay what it is worth and don't try to get it for free.
While Klarque Garrison was helping me with my things and walking me to my vehicle last night, I casually looked up at Grady hospital and mentioned how I worked out of there for three years during residency. I also mentioned some other places farther out where I had worked and he wondered how I had worked in all these cities he'd never been to. When I explained to him how needing a work visa almost guarantees you can't get a job in certain desired locations as a foreigner, he was almost speechless. "We have a different set of challenges that y'all don't understand," I had said to him. And because we're programmed to be resilient as Africans, you might look at me and think I have it all, because I don't complain. But you don't know how many thousands of dollars go to my attorney to process immigration related issues or the challenges that are unique to me as a non-American.
For Africans in America, our challenges are current. We don't hold on to the past, we let that go. Whatever things were lacked while back home are quickly forgotten. Whatever you suffered in your early years here become something to laugh over. For African Americans, half of the challenges are perceived, psychological or emotional (which doesn't make it less important) and half is current. Like Brandi said last night, slavery is a mindset that is hard to break. But we all have unique problems and only in coming together can we have power in numbers.
When I got home last night, I was rejuvenated and drained at the same time, so much so that I felt weak in my body, like I had run a marathon. My hips hurt and I hadn't been standing all day. That was my personal breakthrough working through every fiber of my being. So while I was giving, I received as well.
After I let it all out in church today, I fell in love all over again with my blackness, my Africaness and especially being black in America. I love this country. I love living here and this is my home now. I love Atlanta especially. I'm here to stay. And I won't give up, until all our voices are heard and we all become one.
Give us a chance people. We are one!
Thank you Survive 365 and Klarque Garrison for giving me this opportunity and I look forward to future collaborations with you.

The African Divide in America
2 comments:
Well said, Folake. Well said! Muyiwa and I were reminded of the significance of being united– the weight of being excited for who we are and where we come from, and the infallible role we have to educate our children about our culture. So with the words of Henry Ford, I surrender to abide: "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." Together, we can make this our goal!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much Dolapo.ReplyDelete

My NBA Championship pick was Golden State winning and I am still leaning that way although Cleveland is giving me reason to look at it again. It doesn't get better than this for NBA betting, and more games means more money for smart bettors. While I wouldn't call this series classic basketball from a purist point of view, the betting opportunities have been huge and here is hoping you all made good money so far.
Now it is down to Game 7 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors and nothing is more exciting in sports than do-or-die for the championship.
NBA Championship Pick – Golden State Warriors Win
Ok this is still my pick and try as I might I can't find enough reasons to change that. Although Cleveland, and LeBron James in particular, have shown up and dominated over the last two games, math and history suggest that Golden State still pulls this out. Coming back from 3-1 down is mathematically difficult despite the Warriors doing exactly that against the Oklahoma Thunder.
At the end of the day, the Cavs beat the Warriors when the Cavs are firing on all cylinders and the Warriors are misfiring. However, Cleveland doesn't beat Golden State when the Warriors are on fire no matter how well they play. So really, its Golden State's game and championship to win or lose. It just depends which Warriors team and which Steph Curry show up. I am not sure I like the moneyline at -190 for the Warriors as much as I like the point spread of -4.5 -110 which seems to have a little more value.
Best NBA Championship Odds – Cleveland Cavaliers Win
Given the fact that LeBron and the Cavs did not rollover when down 3-1 says a lot for the make-up of this team. This is most likely the series we should have got last year if Cleveland had been healthy and Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were playing full minutes. The question is, can the Cavs keep it together? They have to bring their A+ game to beat the Warriors particularly for a Game 7 at Oracle Arena. If the Warriors bring their A+ game then I can't see a scenario where the Cavs win. But if the Warriors aren't on then betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers at +160 might just be the best winning bet of the NBA postseason.

SCOTTSBORO, Ala. -- For years, each time someone called the Jackson County, Ala., tourism office looking for an educational site on the Scottsboro Boys, Mary Lackey had nothing to offer them.
Other than a small marker on the side of the Jackson County Courthouse, the city of Scottsboro had no museum or monument of any kind for visitors to learn about what is arguably the most well-known event in the town's history. In 1931, nine black youths ages 12 to 19 were hauled off a train, tried and sentenced to death on a false report that they raped two white women.
"We didn't have any information or tourist attractions about the Scottsboro Boys, and a woman who called and asked about it was appalled. She had a group she wanted to bring into town," said Mrs. Lackey, an administrative assistant for the tourism office.
Lifelong Scottsboro resident Sheila Washington was equally horrified about the lack of information. An avid collector of memorabilia from the civil rights movement, Mrs. Washington got interested in the Scottsboro Boys after her parents gave her a book written by one of the young men.
This month, Mrs. Washington opened a museum she founded in their honor.
"This story has been with me since I read that book. It's something Scottsboro should no longer be ashamed of," she said. "It used to be a dark cloud. Nobody wanted to talk about it."
The Scottsboro Boys Museum and Cultural Center is located in Joyce Chapel United Methodist Church, Jackson County's oldest standing black church. Filled with books, newspaper clippings and antiques, the small room creates a timeline of the events surrounding the case from 1931 until the last surviving member of the group died in 1989.
Local historian Garry Morgan helped put the museum together, collecting donated items or buying them at auctions or on eBay. He also is writing a book about the Scottsboro case.
In 1931, nine black youths aged 12 to 19 who were traveling on a train from Chattanooga were stopped in Paint Rock, Ala., and accused of raping two white women who were living as hobos. They were tried in Scottsboro, where the nearest courthouse was located, and sentenced to death. Several years later one of the women confessed to making up the story. Through the years, some of the youths' cases were dismissed and some eventually were pardoned.
Museum founder Sheila Washington would like to connect with surviving family members of the Scottsboro Boys. Several were from Chattanooga and are buried in the Pleasant Hills Cemetery near Bakewell. Call the museum at 256-244-1310.
One of his favorite items in the museum is a 5-cent postage stamp that supporters used to sell during picnics to raise money for the defense of the nine accused youths.
The museum is open on the second and third Saturdays of every month from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central time, or by appointment for a group or educational tour.
Wearing a brightly colored Black History Month T-shirt last week, Ms. Washington said she was relieved that her town finally has a place to honor the Scottsboro Boys.
"It's been 79 years, and there's still interest in the trial," she said. "Now they finally have a place to rest."

Part 2: Prefab Metal Buildings vs. Weld-up Buildings Our last blog established that steel buildings are the only safe choice for welding shops. Now let's look at the framing choices. As an experienced welder, your first instinct is to weld-up your own shop, but is that really the smartest choice?

I've always wanted to be beautiful; you know, perfect features, long thick hair, a lovely figure…What I see in the mirror, especially through my self-conscious and critical eyes, is not beautiful – pretty maybe – but not beautiful. God has always told me that He sees my heart and that I am breathtaking in His sight. That's pretty awesome! I see beauty in others always according to who they are as a person, but I'm not that generous with myself. Continue reading "BEAUTY IS AS BEAUTY DOES!"

Here are a few more videos from Pattons first Mondo Cane show this summer in the beutiful city of Wraclaw in Poland. I thought i would include a couple of videos of the sound check aswell. You can also read a good review of the show here at Consequence of Sound.
Here is the setlist from the show:
Il Cielo in una Stanza
Che Notte
Ore d'amore
20 Km al Giorno
Quello Che Conta
Urlo Negro
Legata ad un Granello di Sabbia
Deep Down
Pine, Fucile ed Occhiali
L'uomo Che Non Sapeva Amare
Ma L'amore no
Ti Offro da Bere
Dio Come ti Amo
Storia d'amore
Lontano, Lontano
O Venezia
Yeeeeeeh !
Senza Fine
Sole Malato
By all accounts it sounds like the show went down a storm with fans and media alike. Hopefully more dates will be added to the schedule so that as many fans as possible can get to sample this show in person, because although watching the videos of the show is great i can bet that actually being there and sampling Patton singing in Italian with an orchestra behind him in an intimate setting must be awe inspiring. And I envy anybody that will be seeing this show :)
L'uomo Che Non Sapeva Amare (soundcheck)
Canzone (soundcheck)
Ma L'amore no
20 Km al Giorno
ilGiornale.it and Milano 2.0 and Il Giorno are all getting in the mood for tonights show in Milan, all pages are in Italian, so unless you have an Italian partner google translator will help ;)
