Never wanted to drive that infernal commute on a daily basis.
So as I say goodbye to full-time work at The Deseret News and the people there, it's with a mixture of deep sorrow and utter, pure joy!
No more hoping to clear Point of the Mountain before it A. ices over, B. backs up, or C. fogs in.
No more holding in my breath until I pass 106th South — which is the great bottleneck on I-15.
No more sitting in traffic whiling away the time because there's a fender bender three exits ahead.
|Getting out from under
No more getting so acquainted with the backend of the car ahead of me that I have the license plate memorized, the funny bumper stickers imbedded into my brain and I've figured out every little stick figure member of the family and what he or she does for a hobby.
Of all the things I've had to do in my life as a news reporter over the past 35 years, the commute was the least fun.
It's so routine and yet so unpredictable.
And one is so powerless to do anything about it.
Sometimes, amazingly, one can whizz right from Utah County into inner Salt Lake City in 30-40 minutes, tooling along listening to Yanni and feeling good about life.
But most days, it's painful beyond belief.
Standand transmission cars are not designed to be happy going 5 miles an hour and neither am I. Gas tanks drain before your very eyes. Meeting starts and story deadlines have to be missed. Tears flow.
So as life changes and I move to becoming a freelance writer — meaning I can stay home and write e-mails and make phone calls to do my work — it's with a bubbly sense of release, a euphoric float.
Thank goodness for silver linings.

The Masks - Chasing Glory feat. Rossi Riko
Info: London duo LaVeré and Bobby, aka, The Masks, are an electronic hip-hop act who have just released the above new track, 'Chasing Glory', featuring RnB artist Rossi Riko, which they describe as being 'about self reflection and making a change, starting with the man in the mirror.'
There's a lot to like about 'Chasing Glory' from The Masks, which reminds me very much of Kentucky's Cunninglynguists or Childish Gambino musically in terms of beat and sounds employed. The track has a solid groove and Riko's rap vocals are smooth, everything combined works nicely to produce a number that could and should easily reach a wider audience whilst retaining an original and unique feel.

This last week I have been searching the internet for a solution on how to create a Reporting Services Report Execution Snapshot with SQL Server Integration Services. SQL Server Reporting Services mainly runs on XML and SOAP methods. So calling a RS function or method is relatively simple. SSIS even has a web service task that theoretically would work perfect for this situation. I tried referencing RS .wsdl file and SSIS wouldn't accept the format. After some more research I realized the web service task is pretty much useless when connecting to Reporting Services.
Then I looked at the scripting task in SSIS and that seemed too complicated. To get it to work I would have to create a RS proxy server and write a good amount of code. It seemed too difficult for what seemed to be an easy task.
I then found the rs utility. You can write reporting services script files (.rss) using VB.net to call Reporting Services web service methods and run these files from the command line. By putting the command line command in a batch file I am able to create an Execute Process task in SSIS and call the batch file. It was that easy.
So here is my solution:
Public Sub Main()
'Run this in the command line: rs -i reportsnapshot.rss -s http://server/reportserver -v reportPathParameter=%1
Dim reportPath as string = reportPathParameter
Dim schedule AS NoSchedule
Dim EnableManualSnapshotCreation as Boolean = true
Dim KeepExecutionSnapshots as Boolean = false
'Sets the credentials
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
'Sets the Report History options
rs.SetReportHistoryOptions(reportPath, EnableManualSnapshotCreation, KeepExecutionSnapshots, schedule)
'Updates the Report Snapshot
End Sub
rem change directory
cd to where ever you have the .rss file saved
rem This batch file calls Reporting Services Script 'reportsnapshot.rss' and passes the report path which is the %1 variable
rs -i reportsnapshot.rss -s http://server/reportserver -v reportPathParameter=%1
rem This will indicate whether there is an error. Error = 1, Non Error =0. This is used in the Process Task to indicate whether the task fails or succeeds.
Execute Process Task
Executable: Path to where you have the .bat file saved
Arguments: The path to the report (ex. "/folder/report") Note: You need the first "/". This will be passed into the batch file as the %1 parameter.
FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue: True
SuccessValue: 0 (The EXIT [ERRORLEVEL] will return a 0 or 1. 1 is fail. This will make it so the task will fail if the batch file encounters an error.)
If you are in need of clarification or if you have questions about this you can e-mail me!

This is a thought provoking blog. Things that cross my mind that I just feel like sharing and look forward to hearing responses from people that feel either the same way or differently than I do concerning certain topics. All blog posts are LIFE related. So, anything that goes on as we live is fair game for a blog topic!

Why I'm thankful this year ----> My Little Big Brother
In January, about a month after he was diagnosed and the same week he began chemotherapy, my sisters (Tonya and Racquel) and I took a road trip to visit our baby brother. He's older than Racquel and I, but because he's the only boy he's always been like our little brother. He's 19 years older than I. I just noticed that I'm talking about him like he's still here. In some ways he is.
Anyway, we went to see him while he was at John's Hopkin's (one of the best neurological and cardiology hospitals in the world). Seeing him in a wheel chair was difficult but watching his physical therapy and speech therapy sessions was even harder. Simply because he'd begun to regress to a child-like state. Slowly, but noticeably and he needed us.
He stayed in Maryland until June. Married with children but alone. My parents made their trips to Maryland as frequently as they could and eventually his doctors were disheartened with the lack of involvement with his immediate family (wife and grown children) because he needed to be taken care of. Almost completely immobile and on a host of debilitating medications, they sent him to us. His job chartered an ambulance to drive him from Maryland to North Carolina in June. Which was probably the best gift we could have ever received.
I remember the EMS truck pulling in to the drive way. I wasn't sure what to expect because I hadn't seen him since March. Two young men hopped out of the truck and opened the back of the truck and wheeled my little big brother out on a stretcher. He was extremely swollen from the steroids but his hair had started to grow back a little since his first cycle of chemo had been completed. They sat him on the sofa and asked me to sign to indicate that they'd delivered our precious package safely. I thanked them and they headed back to Baltimore. "What's up, Ash!" He said and extended his arms to embrace me. He always attempted to stand to hug us but didn't have the control in his limbs. At 6'7" that's a whole lot of man to support. I pushed him back on the sofa and embraced him, asked him how he was feeling, and he said he was hungry (as usual).
That month seemed like years and I'm so grateful. He knew he didn't have long but he didn't want us to know. Every day he wanted to do something. "I can't sit in the house. I want to go to Sam's! Let's have dinner at Moe's tonight, Ma! Let's go get some steaks and throw them on the grill!" My mother would set the steaks on the kitchen table and let him season them from his chair. We never wanted to strip him of all of his independence and he always loved to cook.
We'd made plans to have a HUGE family Fourth of July cookout. It fell on a Sunday this year. It's so surreal how short life is and how precious it is. That Friday morning he called a few times, wanting to go out to breakfast and to Sam's to get all the food he wanted to have for our barbeque. By this time, my parents had found him an apartment around the corner from their home. They were basically living with him but he wanted to have his own place. I remember he called about three times back to back. The fourth time, his son called and said he was unconscious and from that point the world started to move in slow motion. In about ten minutes time (between the third and the fourth phone call) our lives changed in an instant. As they wheeled him out of the apartment and into the truck, my mother whispered, "I love you, Yorkie," in his ear and tear ran down the side of his face. Even though he was unresponsive, that was the last sign of life we were given.
About an hour passed. My dad left in the ambulance with my brother's lifeless body while we all stayed behind. After the longest hour of my life, we all caravanned and made our way to the hospital. We hadn't heard from daddy and were getting anxious. He'd left the hospital to meet us at home. He didn't want to tell us over the phone. By the time we all realized where he was, we were at the hospital, daddy got back there a few minutes after us and told us all in the lobby of Wake Medical Center's Emergency facility.
It's hard to say his passing was sudden because he knew all along he didn't have much longer with us but it was sudden for us because we had just started feeling like a complete unit again. He always lived so far away from us (Minnesota, Texas, Wisconsin, Detroit, Spain, Turkey) and it felt like once we got him back he was taken almost immediately. At least that's how it felt.
This week we celebrate why we're thankful. We sit around and we eat and rejoice about who we have in our lives and how we appreciate them. Thanksgiving was my brother's absolute favorite holiday and I'm thankful that heaven gave my parents, my sisters, and I the opportunity to care for and love my brother in his last hours, and that he knew we loved him. He never had to look for us. He needed us but we needed him just as much. And as his days slipped away, I'm so thankful that God gave us his last breath.
A few weeks after he passed, I went to the hospital to get his medical records. I read through it and it said, "Immediate family at his bedside". Those few words will always mean the world to me because we were given that last moment. And not just this Thanksgiving but for every one that I'm afforded the opportunity to see.
All I ask of those that read this, is to take inventory of the people in your life. The ones that matter, the ones that need you and that you need, the ones you take for granted, and the ones you couldn't imagine being without and if you can't think of one thing to be thankful for.... Be thankful for that....
Happy Thanksgiving!

Ashley your message was so moving and powerful. It brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing. I am especially thankful to have had the opportunity to meet the phenomenal family that Bob so often spoke of despite the tragic circumstances.
Although Bob kept me abreast of his hospital visits and what was happening with him, he never really let me know how sick he actually was. He was always laughing and joking on the phone, discussing future travel plans and MSU's Homecoming. On the night before he passed, he left me a voice message saying he was fine and he was just calling to check on me. That's how caring and considerate he was. Although he said he would call back the next day, I called him back immediately that same night, but his phone went to voice mail. I've played his voice message every day since his death. My deepest regret is that I didnt get to visit him before he passed. Vince and I made plans to visit him over the summer. I told him that would give him some time to get adjusted to his routine in North Carolina. He said, "Sure, you all can come and visit any time!" I am grateful that his FAMILY was by his bedside to the very end. He loved his family so much and talked about his sisters all the time.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of my dear and closest friend whom I've know since we were 19. My heart is still so very heavy but there is joy in knowing that he has no more pain, sorrow or strife. RIP my dear sweet Bob. I will honor your memory forever.

I am very grateful for FB because otherwise I might not know about the passing and the last days of life of Bobby McCann as it is beautifully recounted here. Bobby was the big brother to my daughter and all the little kiddies that his mother provided home day care for. Those kids loved Bobby, this gentle giant. We were all so happy when he excelled at basketball and went professional. It was a proud moment for the whole town of Morristown, NJ. I have not lived in Morristown for 20 years, however I am moved to tears as I read this account and remember how wonderful the familywas to my daughter, Cecely.To Joanne, Louis,Raquel and Tonya and their entire family my sincere condolences in your tremendous loss. Dollie Carroll Rogers Spivey (Mother of Cecely Rogers)

Thank you for your kind words. I'm the youngest of the four of us Ashley and the author of this blog (I think a lot of people forget that there was a third girl). We really appreciate your fond memories of our brother. Thank you and I'll share your thoughts with my family.

Bases loaded with no out in the first rarely predicts a positive outcome. That appeared to be the game plan tonight, allow as many baserunners to reach as possible and with misplays and some timely hitting, even by Cameron, this game was over very early. But the author knows what Narron is thinking here. Lull them to sleep with the old "worst team in the major leagues" routine, then when their back is turned, that's the time to kick some back. And we all know that if you're ever confronted by a Harang the only method to avoid a mauling is to look them straight in the eyes. The Padres, drunk off their newfound sense of accomplishment, will forget this important rule opening themselves up to a series of Cincinnati roundhouse kicks. The author can't wait.

A ha! I knew it - that's an unavoidable reference right there.
I can't believe the Reds gave up two hits EACH to Cameron, Bard, and worst of all the Hitless Wonder Kouzmanoff.

But Roger Stone was likely too late to the scene to deserve credit for breaking the story. Stone, who was recently involved in leaving threatening messages on Spitzer's father's answering machine, tipped the FBI in November about the governor's habits. Stone bragged to the Miami Herald about his role, but the probe of Emperor's Club actually began a month before his letter. The Republican claims to have been tipped by a "high-end call girl" at a Miami swingers' club; he appeared to relish the details in his note to the FBI: "Spitzer did not remove his mid-calf length black socks during the sex act."

Place : Office Time : 7:52 PM Mood : after I could rhyme this, I feel good.!
the distant light in a villiage that catches your eye
suggestive smile of a girl that makes you cry
the song playin somewhere which is goin on your mind
a soulful drizzle at the most unexpected time
sleepin at night after workin your heart out
a day full of agonies, and then when you shout
an hour at the temple with something divine
and then when u smile and your eyes shine
the world full of people to love and die for
watchin the waves at the sea shore
a problem solved which has been a nighmare
a girl dreaming and you caught her unaware
watchin the sun set and wait till it comes again
laughin with your friends as if you've gone insane
being with the person who makes you complete
if u call it all a suffering, so be it..!
P.S. The poem is just a reflection of ideas on the poets mind(feels good to call myself one..!)
They are bound to be incoherent and yet coherent in some way.
and then its just a try.. be good to me ..!! :)

Progress in nanotechnology depends strongly on imaging techniques and tools to create nanostructures, to position building blocks on precise locations. Scanning probe techniques is the most widely used imaging technique with different interaction fields (force, electronic, magnetic) between probe and scanning surface and a large variety of different operation modes. The same techniques are more and more used as a tool to create nanostructures and as local chemical sensor.

LONDON (AP) — American glam rockers KISS are unleashing their "Monster" on the UK public.
The band — Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer— was in London on Tuesday to launch its new retrospective book, "KISS Monster," and to hold a news conference.
The limited edition book — which is three feet (1 meter) tall — features unseen photographs from the band's 40-year career.
"A band that is bigger than life deserves a book that's bigger than life. You could call it a coffee table book, but if you put legs on it, it is a coffee table," joked Stanley.
Only 1,000 copies of "KISS Monster" will be on sale and each one will be signed by the band. It will retail at a staggering >2,742 ($4,299).
"It's not a cheap book because it is hand bound, hand put together. It's the Rolls-Royce of books," said Simmons.
"KISS Monster" is now on sale in the U.K.

Clearly, ancient Egyptians didn't get the memo about lead poisoning. Their eye makeup was full of the stuff. Although today we know that lead can cause brain damage and miscarriages, the Egyptians believed that lead-based cosmetics protected against eye diseases. Now, new research suggests that they may have been on to something.
Previous work indicates that the Egyptians added lead to their cosmetics on purpose. When analytical chemist Philippe Walter and colleagues at CNRS and the Louvre Museum in Paris analyzed the composition of several samples of the Egyptians' famous bold, black eyeliner in the Louvre's collection, they identified two types of lead salt not found in nature. That means that ancient Egyptians must have synthesized them. But making lead salt is a tricky, delicate process that requires tending for weeks--and unlike other common makeup components, the salts are not glossy. So why did they bother?
Ancient manuscripts gave the scientists a clue. It turns out that in those days, people made lead salts and used them as treatments for eye ailments, scars, and discolorations. When Walter told analytical chemist Christian Amatore of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris about the findings, Amatore says he was intrigued because lead is now known to have so many toxic effects.
To see if the lead might confer any health benefits, Amatore, Walter, and colleagues added lead salts to human skin cells called keratinocytes, which were grown in the lab.
Ancient Egypt's stunning eye make-up not only shielded wearers from the dark deeds of the evil eye but also protected them against eye disease, French scientists said Thursday.
Ancient Egyptians some 4,000 years ago produced the make-up used to darken and adorn eyes with lead and lead salts in mixtures that sometimes took a month to concoct, said Philippe Walter, who co-headed a team of scientists from the Louvre museum and the CNRS national research institute.
"We knew ancient Greeks and Romans too had noted the make-up had medicinal properties, but wanted to determine exactly how," he told AFP.
Straits Times
Contrary to widely held belief that lead is harmful, the team, using analytical chemistry, determined that 'in very low doses lead does not kill cells'. Instead, it produces a molecule - nitric oxide - that activates the immune defence system which beats back bacteria in case of eye infection.
The research was carried out using a tiny electrode, the 10th of the size of a hair, to look at the effect of a lead chloride synthesised by the Egyptians - laurionite - on a single cell.
The study was released on Thursday online by the journal Analytical Chemistry.
Analytical Chemistry
The Abstract for the article in Analytical Chemistry, on the above page, is as follows:
Issa Tapsoba, Stphane Arbault, Philippe Walter and Christian Amatore . . . .
Lead-based compounds were used during antiquity as both pigments and medicines in the formulation of makeup materials. Chemical analysis of cosmetics samples found in Egyptians tombs and the reconstitution of ancient recipes as reported by Greco-Roman authors have shown that two non-natural lead chlorides (laurionite Pb(OH)Cl and phosgenite Pb2Cl2CO3) were purposely synthesized and were used as fine powders in makeup and eye lotions. According to ancient Egyptian manuscripts, these were essential remedies for treating eye illness and skin ailments. This conclusion seems amazing because today we focus only on the well-recognized toxicity of lead salts. Here, using ultramicroelectrodes, we obtain new insights into the biochemical interactions between lead(II) ions and cells, which support the ancient medical use of sparingly soluble lead compounds. Submicromolar concentrations of Pb2+ ions are shown to be sufficient for eliciting specific oxidative stress responses of keratinocytes. These consist essentially of an overproduction of nitrogen monoxide (NO°). Owing to the biological role of NO° in stimulating nonspecific immunological defenses, one may argue that these lead compounds were deliberately manufactured and used in ancient Egyptian formulations to prevent and treat eye illnesses by promoting the action of immune cells.

An interview with Park Yeonghun, 9-dan
An interview with Park Yeonghun, 9-dan who entered the final match of the Samsung World Go Championship after beating Gu Li, 9-dan (China) with 2-1 score.
Congratulations! What can you tell us about your match with Gu Li?
All 3 games were difficult for me. Gu Li's lead in last two games was obvious, but he finished them passively and gave me chances in yose. He did not make any big mistakes, but made some dubious moves in endgame.
If we check the games, we can see that Gu Li, 9-dan has an outstanding middlegame power. Is it true?
Yes, his Go is powerful. I tried to keep my games simple, but I was not able to control them.
Why did you stay in the same room with Choi Wongyoung, 5-dan in the hotel?
I think, it's better to stay with someone, instead of staying alone. Also it's possible to study Go together and prepare for your games.
You will play the final match with Lee Sedol, 9-dan. What do you think about your chances?
I am currently 0-2 behind in the GS Galtex match against Lee. He is a very hard opponent and I know, that my chances are smaller. Any way, I will try to make my best.

I mess up. Every single day I make mistakes. I'm sitting here thinking of the mistakes I've already made today and it's not even 2:00 in the afternoon.
Here's my list so far:
- Read something that made me angry and I had some very unkind thoughts
- Had a phone conversation that bordered on gossip
- Entertained some critical thoughts about another Christian
I'm sure there is more and I still have an entire afternoon and evening to get through. I'm a work in progress and I refuse to excuse my wrong choices. My goal is that I will learn to control my tongue and my thoughts so that I can fully honor God with every aspect of my being.
I love the hymn Great is Thy Faithfulness and I found myself singing it this afternoon. Morning by morning, new mercies I see... MERCIES! That's PLURAL! isn't that wonderful news? Imagine if we were each only allowed a finite number of mess ups. YIKES!- I'd be in trouble.
I thank God for his unending mercies. I don't ever want to take this for granted and risk abusing this wonderful gift. I pray that as continually get better and rely less and less on the generous gift of mercy.
If you messed up today, take a moment and repent and then thank our father for His mercy. Tomorrow's a new day with a new supply!

Dear Readers,
Yes, you. Whoever you are.
As we all know, Christmas is already apparent. Right? Look! We're in the "ber" month now and I can hear Christmas songs being played already over the radio. Unfortunately, a lot of poor people will again not be able celebrate Christmas for they are deprived even of their basic needs.
Let's give them the opportunity to experience Christmas the way we do. A friend of mine, asked for my help in promoting The Batang Squatter Project which is a Christmas sharing project to spread love and gifts this coming Christmas. Here's to quote a part of the e-mail:
projectBatang Squatter took off last December 2003 when the Dominion Church , a Christian sector, welcomed us to participate in the Christmas program they had organized for the children in Munoz market. The grateful smiles on the faces of these children we barely knew confirmed the joy that we felt in our hearts that indeed sharing is a blessing. When one person gives, it is not just to the one who receives who benefit but also the one who gives selflessly to make someone happy.
The Spirit goes where the wind blows and touches people's hearts. And as the cliché goes: the rest is history.
From 2004 we have been bringing joy on Christmas Day to children and their families living outside the walls of Pilar Village in Las Pinas. We do this by distributing bags of goodies, raffle prizes, and providing them with snacks. Thanks to the continued generosity of our patrons who, much like the seed of kindness, have been growing in numbers through the years.
Here's what happened last year:
This year, we are asking for you help to make everyone's Christmas very happy, not just in our own grounds but also to those less fortunate kids and individuals, in order for them to experience Christmas the same way we do. This year The Batang Squatter is hoping to share the blessings with 1,000 children. They will give bags which will consist of essential food items such as rice, canned goods and noodles.
The Batang Squatter project is now accepting cash donations until November 15. They can also arrange to pick up non-perishable goods within Manila and Cavite areas not later December 15.
If you are interested in sharing what you have this Christmas, and I know you are... you can e-mail me so that I can give you the details in sending money or in sending goods. Or if you have questions, just e-mail me or better yet, leave it as a comment.
e-mail me here:
On behalf of The Batang Squatter Project, we thank you for sharing with us your blessings.

This morning, I was witness to the Gorsedd Ceremony of the Powys Eisteddfod. Location was Ysgol Uwchradd Y Trallwng (Welshpool High School). Felt just like a family and friends occasion. The Presiding Druid was Hedd Bleddyn, an old friend. We became councillors at around the same time, in the 1980s, and joined forces with David Rowlands (current Ukip PPC in Mongomeryshire) as the 'Freedom Fighters'. We advocated a permissive approach to planning permission. For six years we led the Planning Authority, me as Chair and Hedd as Vice Chair - and he took over when I moved to Finance. You might ask how on earth I finished up as President of CPRW!! Refined my opinions (as Nick Griffin might say)!
The harpist, who dominates the stage on these occasions was Sian James, probably the most famous member of my extended family. The sword carrier (not sure of the proper title)was Glandon Lewis, more family. Pleased that by tradition the sword never leaves its scabbard, because I wouldn't trust him with it any other way. One of the singers of the Gorsedd prayer was Alun Jones, and up on stage as one of the leading 'white rank' druids was John Talog - yet more family. And another was accepted into the Gorsedd - Dafydd Morgan Lewis, who has done so much for Cymdeithas yr Iaith. 'Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' was sung almost as emotionally as when Cymru take on Lloegr at the Millennium Stadium.
The Powys Eisteddfod was first held in Welshpool in 1824. Its been held there eight times since then. The first Powys Eisteddfod was held in 1820, before the National Eisteddfod was first held. The area of Powys is not coterminous with the County of Powys, which is a modern totally bizarre creation. What we might call Powys proper comprises Mongomeryshire, part Meirionydd and Denbighshire. For the first time ever, the Montgomeryshire Conservatives sponsored one of the competitions tonight - Her Unawd (Solo Challenge).

The Court did say, as has always been the case with disability discrimination claims as it relates to the employer's duty to accommodate, that accommodating the commute turns on a case-by-case basis. Upon remanding the case back to the lower court, the 2nd Circuit stated:
"On remand, the district court shall consider factors such as the number of employees employed by DOHMH, the number and location of its offices, whether other available positions existed for which Tinkelman showed that she was qualified, whether she could have been shifted to a more convenient office without unduly burdening DOHMH's operations, and the reasonableness of allowing her to work without on-site supervision."Interestingly enough, the Court rejected the plaintiff's suggestion for an accommodation of a special telephone or device for the hearing impaired while she worked in the Manhattan office.
The case is Nixon-Tinkelman v. N.Y.C. Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene,No. 10-3317-cv (2d Cir. Aug. 10, 2011)

"let's pretend the tree is the sea"
I loved having the opportunity to use my imagination when my children were little, turns out it's not so easy to play these games when they are teenagers.
LOVE the mama bird and her little chicks in the top of the tree!ReplyDelete
This drawing is so so so lovely. It's got a beautiful balance of simplicity and energy. Cheers.ReplyDelete
Oooo...what a beautiful idea! Love the movement and life your illustration has.ReplyDelete
Thank you! I loved doing this one... I am going to make it into a painting.ReplyDelete

What do you do when you're the once-charming, suddenly unpopular, most powerful person in all the world?
Why, you go on ABC's popular teevee show with the three ladies and that one insane, talking muumuu named Whoopi or Whopper or whatever, and pray to the television gods that Babs Walters, unemployed homemakers, and orgasm-inducing shampoo commercials are just the magic touch needed to restore all that hopey-changey feel goodness of your 2008 View-fueled Mojo!
Who needs leaked Afghan memos, endless, boring Republican obstructionism, or renegade racist states like Aryanzona when you can make history simply by wasting an hour on daytime television??
"We are so pleased and honored that President Obama will be a guest on The View. The President last appeared on the program in March 2008 while he was still a Senator -- and First Lady Michelle Obama was a featured guest co-host in June 2008. This shows that both the President and First Lady feel that our show is an influential and important source of information and news."I mean how could that adorable back-up quarterback's wife's Teabagger ramblings, cutesy fashion sense, and daily tear-filled musings on the Bachelor not be considered important news? She was on Survivor for Christ Sake!
Babs totally agrees.
In honor of this rare occasion, creator/executive producer and co-host of The View Barbara Walters will make an exclusive in-studio appearance to mark this historic hour. "I'm also going to appear on The View Thursday for the first time since my open heart surgery in May. I will return full-time in September."Apparently, an orange dwarf named Snooki and six-pack with an Italian accent known as the Situation weren't enough for Ms. Walters' to throw back her down-quilted covers, change out of her robe and slippers, freshen up her face, Aqua Net her hair to perfection, and make her first appearance on the show since taking a hiatus to recover from heart surgery.
Barry, on the other hand, is a different story altogether!
Totally beats last month's Skype® with Sherri and the gals!
SO get excited, daytime television watching, estrogen-filled America!!
It will be oodles of fun now that the gang's all here! Not to mention, the guest of all guests, Barry Hussein NObama! Which sure as hell beats that Kate + Eight lady talking about her new 'do and all the fun, creative ways she's cooked up (the one thing she can cook!) to exploit her litter o' kids on the telly now!
President Obama's interview, scheduled to tape on Wednesday, July 28th, will feature such sizzling hot topics as his "administration's accomplishments, jobs, the economy, the Gulf oil spill, and family life inside the White House."
Ugh, but what about all the important stuff like what he thinks of Mel's recent tape-recorder woes, Bristol and Levi's surprise nuptials, and LinLo's jail time??
Surely, they'll leave enough time for that!
So long as Whoopi doesn't come all drugged out again, and start incoherently rambling about how "we don't know who or what or where" to explain why all the troubled famous people she's BFF with are in fact not the insane racists and wife-abusing bastards we all thought they were, Joy doesn't go into one of her "So What, Who Cares" monologues about sagging breasts, hot middle aged sex, and other such challenges facing aging, hilarious, red-headed NY comedians who love liberal presidents almost as much a nice Merlot, warm bath, and not being married, we might be okay.
Provided, of course, that Elizabeth doesn't start crying about how stem cells are people, and why everyone is ignoring her because she loves freedom, and Sherri doesn't pass out from being thisclose to a real, live flesh 'n blood brotha with a hot bod (hotter job) and positively heart-melting smile, who manages to balance raising two daughters with the rigorous demands of leading the free world, without even peacing out on his nagging, needy wife, it should be a lovely, lady-filled good time!
Ooooh, she even taped it so Jeffrey and her can watch mama talk to Obama later. And then again, alone, after Jeffrey's gone to bed when it's just her, some silk pajamas, a box of Chips Ahoy, an oatmeal and cucumber mask, and her new boyfriend Barry to lull her softly to sleep.
Ooooh sweet sufferin' Jesus, this is one fine motherf**kin' View!
Good Lord, yes! Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, she always knew you were listening up there, girl!!
Ooooh weeeee!

On movies
I seldom go to the movies, not that I don't like movies. I do. I usually wait for the movies to come out on tape or DVD, or sometimes, to be shown on TV. On average, I go to the movies only once a year, twice at the most. This is a far cry from my movie-going habit when I was still single in the Philippines. I think I went at least once a month, or more, to watch my favourite Pinoy movie stars. It's probably because I didn't have a TV back then. Besides, going to the movies back home is very affordable. But here in Canada, it's quite pricey. Tickets are $8.50 each. Plus I have to buy the over-priced popcorn and drinks for the kids. Otherwise, they don't see the point of going to the movies without those. Every year, I treat the kids, and myself as well. We pick one movie that we really like that is worth watching on the big screen, such as those with spectacular special effects: the Harry Potter Series, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, or Star Wars.

The first "real" martini I ever had in America was at John's Grill in San Francisco, a onetime hangout of Dashiell Hammett, which was mostly why I went there. Of course I knew what a martini was, and I'd made some myself, but I'd never had one in a bar, because I lived in England at the time, and if you went into an English pub back then and asked for a martini you were most likely going to end up with a glass of warm vermouth.
And so, back in the day, in John's Grill, I ordered a martini, and the waiter said, "Do you want that up?" and I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. I said yes, because obviously "up" was a way you could have a martini, and if I'd said I didn't want it up then I knew he'd have asked me how I did want it, and I'd have had no idea what to say. Still, when the drink came it was exactly the way I wanted it, and the way I'd been making and drinking them back in England, but I had no idea that I'd been drinking them "up."
John's Grill is still very much in business and I go there whenever I'm in San Francisco, as I was last week. The menu now features a specialty house cocktail, the Bloody Bridget, named by the California historical society (go figure), consisting of sweet and sour, vodka and soda, served over ice rather than up. I didn't order one because I didn't think it sounded all that exciting, but an even better reason for not ordering - it came in a souvenir highball glass that you got to keep. For one think I couldn't see the glass surviving the flight home in my hand luggage, but in any case I didn't want to look like the kind of rube who wants a souvenir glass. I didn't even have a martini; I had a glass of merlot instead. But now I discover there actually is a souvenir martini glass too. It's probably just as well I didn't know about it at the time – it would have given me quite a dilemma.
San Francisco is a culinary center of heartfelt this, locally sourced that, and sustainable the other, which is all well and good but sometimes a bit humorless. So when the Loved One and I saw that a French restaurant called La Bouche had Buddha's hand on its menu, it seemed unmissable. Buddha's hand is a legendary citrus fruit that I'd only ever seen in pictures, a fruit without flesh or juice, and in this case it was served as part of a starter with octopus and roasted garlic aioli, and it came in long shreds like a soft, delicate, lemony spaghetti. It was terrific. I was too cool to take a picture of it: Bouche is a fairly sophisticated restaurant and again I didn't want to seem like a rube. But the thing itself looks like this:
On another night in SF we went to a Japanese restaurant called Maru Sushi, and it so happened that the Loved One and I had been saying to each other just a couple of days before, how come you never see monkfish on menus anymore? It used to be the coolest and most expensive fish around, now you never see it. Well, Maru Sushi didn't have the fish itself, but they did have monkfish liver – known in Japan as ankimo - which was rolled and compressed into a sausage shape and (I'm pretty sure) poached. Again I didn't photograph it, but it looked very much like this, seen here in a photograph by Craig Lee of the SF Chronicle, and again it was terrific.
But now, having done a little research I discover that eating monkfish is bad and wrong. All the monkfish stocks are overfished, and the trawling method used to catch most monkfish damages the ocean floor. The seafood watch program at the Monterey Bay Aquarium has put monkfish in its "fish to avoid" category. So now I feel guilty, but at least not like a rube.

Assalamualaikum w.b.r
I've been waiting for this date to update my first entry on 2015! So, 11 January is the date.
When I was 12, my life as a big fan of Siti Nurhaliza was began. ( poyo je ayat). I watched her performance at AJL, she sang " Ku Milikmu" . And started from that I follow her story, and so on. ( gitu lah asalnya)
I'm started with collecting her pictures. I cut from news paper, magazines, I tried to memorize all her songs despite I have a lot of subjects to study as a secondary school's student. hahaha...
The first song I had memorize is Ku Milikmu. I have a handwriting scrap book special about Siti Nurhaliza. But, the book was confiscated by the school superintendent. The book is actually not allowed at hostel or school. (Padan muka aku. Dah tak dapat sampai sekarang. haha)
Nevertheless, i still continue my hobby. I created another book and keep all the books as my collections.
Her first album I'd bought is Transkripsi. I love all the songs from Transkripsi. But as you know, i cant buy a cd, so i just bought a cassette. hahaha. i dont have a laptop, only radio. so, i listen her song using cassette. very old school ok. hahahha. But, I'm still satisfied!
I have too many story to share. How i induce myself to just ignoring what people say when i told them that ' Siti Nurhaliza is my inspiration" and how i can still admiring her after 10 years.
To Datuk Siti Nurhaliza,
Happy Birthday. I pray all the best for your life. You inspired me a lot. from an ordinary girl to an extraordinary women who transformed herself became a fabulous person. You have been inspiration for all your fans, especially to me.. hehhehe
Happy Birthday again. May ALLAH bless your life, May ALLAH guide you in every situation, May ALLAH give His Love, Barakah and Rahmat for your blessed day. Amin.
I wish I could meet you this year!
your loyal fan.
(memandangkan saya takde lagi gambar bersama tokti setelah beliau berhijab, so tak bolehlah nak kongsi. gambar time tokti pakai shawl je ada. huhuhu

Is that the same management that not only doesn't pay its intern, but forces him to work in a broom closet?

Scott was a lot of fun to interview, and his book is great. It's funny and conversational and doesn't try to do too much, which makes it so much more meaningful by the end. It almost makes you want to live in West Virginia, f*cked up as it is.

To Jen we say ditto at least about Scott, we're going to reserve judgment for now on West Virginia. And to Jason we say rock-on. To Pete though we're not sure whether to plead the Fifth or just refer you to our lawyer, so how about we get back to you after we talk to our mentor Mike Leach?

Faith Prince puts her Royal Room show and the resulting album in context: "Amidst the early stages of a terrible recession, we were opening my new cabaret show in Palm Beach, where the Madoff scandal was especially raw. It then dawned on me, this is how cabaret came to be... A place to escape, to be transported. To quote Kander and Ebb: '...so life is disappointing, forget it! In here, life is beautiful.'"
"It gives us great pleasure to present this wonderful new album by the brilliant Faith Prince as a continuation of our mission of releasing new recordings by Broadway's biggest and brightest stars," said Van Dean, co-founder of Broadway Records.

- BAND INTROS / Shy
- Ev'rything I've Got

- If He Walked Into My Life
- Lydia, The Tattooed Lady
- The Ladies Who Lunch
- Coney Island
- But the World Goes 'Round
- MEDLEY: Take Me Back to Manhattan / Before the Parade Passes By
- Bless Your Heart
FAITH PRINCE has been dazzling Broadway audiences since winning the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for her performance as "Ms. Adelaide" in Guys and Dolls. In 2008, she was nominated for Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for A Catered Affair. Other Broadway credits include The Little Mermaid, Bells Are Ringing (Tony, DD, OCC noms), Nick & Nora (OCC Award), Jerome Robbins' Broadway(Tony, DD noms), Little Me, The Dead, and Noises Off. She also starred in the world premiere of Terrence McNally's Unusual Acts of Devotion. Most recently, Faith starred in the national tour of the Broadway hit Billy Elliott.

Little Miss Junior has had a busy week, and has seen her new friend Santa all over London!
First stop was Harrods children's clothes floor for a spot of designer Christmas party outfit shopping. As she was browsing through the sparkly sequin dresses Little Miss J spotted a glittering green grotto. Lo and behold, as she approached she saw that it was the Emerald City from The Wizard of Oz, and sitting in the middle was Santa. After a lovely chat, where Santa established that Little Miss J had been a good girl and really did deserve that faux fur muffler she had had her eyes on earlier, he gave her a signed copy of The Wizard of Oz and a massive chocolate coin. What a way to start the festive season!
Next up was Selfridges, because Little Miss J had heard that they had face-painting and pantomime performances in the Children's department. Never one to miss out on a bit of glitz and glam she quickly trotted up before all the glitter paint ran out. On her way in she noticed a train moving through the store, and jumped on. She ended up in another Grotto and saw her friend Santa again. They had a quick photo before Little Miss J got hungry. So she said her goodbyes and went off in search of a filling festive meal.
She'd heard that the Rainforest Café had a new resident – Santa in his grotto! So she jumped in a cab (it had started to snow and the moisture plays havoc with her hair) to Shaftesbury Avenue. Just as she was tucking into her banana split dessert she heard a familiar 'HoHoHo" and followed the noise through the frozen rainforest, where she found an elf who showed her to the grotto. She had one final chat with Santa who promised Little Miss J would get her heart's desire on Christmas day. Before she left, Santa gave her the cutest little soft toy reindeer, then she stepped back out into a snowy London.

What I found today

As regular readers of Junior will know, Stella McCartney's recent collaboration with GapKids has been a great success. So much so that a second collection has been announced for Spring 2010
Stella told Junior that her children's ranges are designed " to find a balance in the wardrobe, to give a child everything they need. I don't want someone to have to go somewhere else to get their kids' clothes." And now they don't have to . . .
Gap have announced that the new collection is planned for March, so the sell-out Miller jacket won't be making a comeback, but we predict more of the pretty mesh tutus and funky T-shirt designs.
Marka Hansen, President of Gap brands, said of the continued collaboration: "The combination of Stella's unique aesthetic and our brand's quality and store experience has resonated with our customers around the world. We're thrilled to be working with Stella on a Spring collection."

Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece prides herself on creating classic, timeless designs that are also wearable and well made. And, as a mother of five, she believes she is well placed to create outfits for children to live and play in, and also to feel a little bit royal in!
So keep your baby cosy in a cute cable-knit cardigan, or make your daughter's Christmas by buying her this gorgeous faux fur coat.
You'll have to hurry though – the sale only lasts for two days and I'm sure that the fact that this is a children's label won't stop the infamous squabbles and snatching that you find in the world of adult sample sales!

Your children can step out in style this Christmas thanks to the pop-up UGG shop on Selfridges 3rd floor.
Following in the current trend for pop-up shops, UGG has opened a children's only footwear concession, so that trendy children can face the ravages of winter a la Miley Cyrus.
The UGG department can be found within the Step2wo concession on the third floor and is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. As well as the well-known classic UGG boot, the pop-up shop will stock seasonal styles, metallic versions and sheepskin trimmed boots all in a luxurious Christmassy surrounding decked out in traditional UGG sheepskin style. So you can relax in the shag-pile chairs while your progeny strut their stuff in the luxury boots.
The concession will be open until the end of January.

Little Miss Junior's Week in Fashion
Tuesday - Little Miss Junior tries on the recession and likes it
Today Little Miss Junior ventured out to see what's happening on the high street. Being mindful of the pennies, Little Miss J had to catch something called a bus then a train, as her chauffer was on strike - bloody interns! Four hours later, rather hot and crumpled, she arrived at her first press day: Tesco! Little Miss J loves Tesco, ever since they collaborated with designer 'Elspeth Gibson' to produce delightful party dresses for next to nothing. For spring she also adored the funky baseball boots in grey with
Boden was next on the list, set in the charming location of Chiltern Studios in Marylebone. The collection was brimming with beautiful prints, bold polka dots, star hoodies and budding buds patterned over sundresses, raincoats, shoppers and trainers. The brownies were good too. Centre to the clothes was a large Indian parrot; Little Miss J loved Mr P until he chirped "Get Lost" rather loudly. Within walking distance was Marks & Spencers, who had dedicated a whole press day to the pursuits of pregnancy, baby and childrenswear. Little Miss J pre-ordered the sweet sun dress in grey with Indian beading, beyond! Last visit of the day was Littlewoods who have brought in the Ladybird label, which was originally with Woolworths and what an improvement! Lots of cool sports wear, distressed denim, plus she received a lovely portable DVD player in her goody bag.

Little Miss Junior was very upset to find out that she may need glasses "How unfashionable" she had sulked. "I'm going to look like the biggest geek ever". Her feelings soon changed when she spotted her old school chum Albert Cocker all over the style pages wearing his frames "Geek is now cool" she declared. Today, she booked an appointment to meet her favorite glasses company Zoobug, who have launched an adorable collection. Dr Julie Diem Le is an expert optician and founder of Zoobug, so Little Miss J was in good hands. Dr Julie Diem Le suggested she get the ultra cool Harley Design "Not out in the shops yet, but you can have them first". Litte Miss J looked adorable; chocolate brown frames really do bring out the colour of her eyes.

High crop yields often come under scrutiny because of the need for fertilizers and the perception of their potential environmental impacts. Newspaper articles, letters, and advertisements from well-intended, but poorly informed, citizens seem to perpetuate old myths and clichés about modern fertilization practices.
The fact is, maintaining food production for the growing world population requires the use of new technology and the intensification of management to grow more food on the existing cropland...and fertilizer is essential for accomplishing this.
Sometimes I get tired of hearing about the negative fertilizer issues that are associated with our abundant, affordable, and nutritious food supply...a truly amazing supply of healthy food that is clearly unprecedented in the history of the world!
Misapplication and misuse of agricultural fertilizers have undoubtedly occurred and their impact on the environment needs to be minimized. But to fairly judge the use of fertilizers, the risks of their use should be compared with their benefits for food production.
I have had people tell me that raising yields with commercial fertilizer is somehow immoral and dangerous for our soils... that strictly organic or specialty products will meet the demand of global food production. You probably know about the "stink test"... that is, when something smells fishy there is usually a reason why! Many of these ideas and claims just don't pass stink the test.
The time has come for all of us dispel myths about fertilizers and nutrients, and to convey a correct message to a world which is becoming increasingly urbanized and removed from what agricultural production is all about... providing healthy food.
How Does Fertilizer Contribute to the
Food Supply?
|2.5 tons: What a family eats in a year ~1970's
A survey of U.S. crop production estimated that average corn yields would decline by 40% without N fertilizer. Even greater declines would occur if regular additions of P and K were also halted. Numerous long-term studies have also demonstrated the contributions of fertilizer to sustaining crop yields. For example, long-term studies in Oklahoma show a 40% wheat yield decline would occur without regular N and P additions. A long-term study in Missouri found that 57% of the grain yield was attributable to fertilizer and lime additions. Similarly, long-term trials from Kansas show that 60% of the corn yield was attributable to fertilizer N and P.
Few people appreciate that corn yields have continued to increase in the Corn Belt of the U.S. without a similar increase in N fertilization. In fact, N use efficiency has increased at least 35% in the past 25 years (where less N fertilizer is now required to produce a bushel of grain). Remarkably, more corn is being harvested without increasing N fertilizer application rates. Some of this improvement has also come from modern genetics and improved agronomic management.

(AP Photo/ Bob Chamberlin, Pool) View 3 more images (Newser) – A judge today postponed Chris Brown's arraignment on felony assault charges for a month, E! reports. It's possible that Brown could work out a plea deal in the interim. Police charged the singer with two felonies for his alleged beating of Rihanna, and he appeared in court hours later to ask for the postponement. "You are ordered not to annoy harass, molest, threaten or use force or violence against anyone," the judge told him. The developments came on a day when more details emerged about the incident. Court documents say it began when Rihanna read a text message to Brown from another woman. They argued in the car, and Brown repeatedly punched her in the face. He also bit her finger when she defended herself. At one point, when Rihanna pretended to call her assistant to have police waiting for them, Brown shouted, "Now I'm going to kill you."

POLICE: Fort Riley Soldier Died of Accidental Overdose
Iraq War combat veteran Army Sgt. Duriel Powell was recovering from unspecified surgery
by Associated Press
Topeka Capitol-Journal, Oct. 25, 2012
OGDEN — Riley County police say a Fort Riley soldier found dead at his off-post home accidentally overdosed on medication he was taking after surgery.
Officers were called to the Ogden home of 33-year-old Army Sgt. Duriel Powell the morning of Sept. 28 after a relative found him not breathing. Emergency responders said Powell was deceased by the time they arrived.
Riley County Police Lt. Josh Kyle said Powell was taking medication while recovering from unspecified surgery. Foul play wasn't suspected, but an autopsy was performed to determine the cause of death.
Officials with the 1st Infantry Division said Powell was a field artillery radar operator. He was assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 5th Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team.

Here's the thing about Bo Burnham.
He's smart.
I pride myself on my intellectual abilities. I was always top of my class; I graduated with honors; I never had to worry about doing well on standardized tests.
But Bo is scary smart. My wife and I have watched both of his specials, and one of the things we have talked about after watching and laughing at his performances is this premature intelligence that is blended with an emotional self-knowledge that is rare in someone so young. I know I didn't have it when I was his age. I doubt I have it now.
He has time to grow into it, and I think this book of poems, "Egghead," may be showing some of what he may look like as a mature artist.
Egghead intersperses poems that are on the surface easy – meter, unchallenging rhyme schemes, with fun pictures that tend towards the dirty. The poems tend that way too. One included in the volume, which was read in the special, extol the virtues of women with little virtue. I can't print the title here.
He stands poems like that – sophomoric, juvenile, what have you – with some deep and wise ones. There is a poem about women's body images that knocked me flat. I won't quote it here because it is short and you need to take that journey yourself.
I can't wait for whatever Bo has in store for us next, no matter what the medium.
