The Kardashians Ditches Australia
I have been trying to keep the blog a bit of a Kardashian free zone this week, because everywhere you go in cyber space on media and celebrity sites they are there.
However because of the pap and media frenzy they have decided to ditch Australia and head home.
News.com.au is saying Kim and her sister Khloe will be flying out of Sydney on Friday. This will mean Kim will not be attending the races in Melbourne. She was allegedly getting paid $150,000 for one hours work.
If I was Swisse I would not be too concerned, they will get to keep their money, but will have reaped all of the publicity of Kim hightailing it back to LA.
It will be interesting to see if this makes the front page of the Daily Telegraph as her arrival did.

For someone who seems to want to be in the spotlight, why is she running scared of all the cameras now? Why won't she actually say what the reason for the divorce is?
They said they came to Australia to fulfil commitments, wasn't the races a commitment too?
I think she is just too stuck up for her own good. And that maybe it all was a scam in the first place. Glad I didn't waste my time watching her wedding.
And at least your blog post isn't idolosing her like every other tv show. loving your posts by the way.

Lets not forget that she turned down $150,000 for an hour by Swisse. Makes me think just how much did she make to stay IN bed, when clearly she doesn't get out of bed for less than $150,000 per hour…Whoops! Almost forgot… her claim to fame is because of her "IN bed"" antics (the sex tape). Maybe the divorce has suddenly put that all into perspective now, especiaally as she has now been quoted as saying that "She got swept up" into the whole marriage thing courtesy of the camera's and the reality show – maybe shé's decided to go back to grass roots.

maybe shé's decided to go back to grass roots….
She's decided to go, that's the main thing. I'm fed up of hearing about the woman who really has no talent other than self-promotion (and I'd include the wedding in that).
- 4 Chunks { 11.04.11 at 11:37 am }
Maybe she's worried that with all the backlash, her next wedding won't make her as much money? It's not as if she has any talent to fall back on. I must say it bodes ill for the future of western society that morons like the Kardashians and Paris Hilton are seen by so many young girls as role models.

Meeting Kochie would be enough to make me want to get on a plane and be a long way away.

Then again with that big arse being paraded at Flemington, someone might try to throw a saddle on KK.
- 7 Georgie { 11.04.11 at 2:22 pm }
Ah BDD, evokes memories of the other KK – Kath and Kim.
- 8 Block Fan { 11.04.11 at 7:40 pm }
OMG she is such a tosser!
- 9 Pangus { 11.05.11 at 8:58 am }
Georgie, are you referring to the Kath and Kim at the races episode? I saw that on a flight and almost wet myself from laughing. On of the best comedies I have ever seen.
- 10 Georgie { 11.05.11 at 10:17 am }
Pangus – the one that conjures up memories of being 'saddled' was The Wedding, series 1 – episode 8.
Kim is bridesmaid at Kath and Kel's nuptials and she loses her ponytail switch. It turns up stuck to her arse and while she's on all fours looking for it the horse (harnessed to the wedding coach) shies up and charges at it, in the hope of consummating it's own nuptials.
Absolute crying, gut pain, can't breathe, laughter.
- 11 brain dead dave { 11.07.11 at 12:48 pm }
Well Jessica Mauboy turned up at the races and her ar$e is as big as KK's. I couldn't get over how big it was on Underbelly last night,too.

Causes of the nursing shortage include job burnout, frustration, being overworked and disillusionment. Not only is the nurse shortage a problem in the U.S., but in Canada and other parts of the world as well. Adding to the problem is the fact that current nurses are getting older and preparing to retire.Continue Reading
Older nurses may want to retire early to have an easier workload, a more flexible schedule and to have more freedom. If a senior nurse no longer feels that she is appreciated by her company, there's an increased chance that she will leave her position or retire early.
Another contributing factor is that a nurse may feel that she has little to no control over her work setting, which can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and frustration. It's common for a nurse to base her decision to remain at her place of employment on proper respect and recognition, performance evaluations and having a say in decisions and discussions.
As of 2011, it is predicted that the largest group of nurses is expected to retire by 2020, which has the possibility to leave medical centers without the resources needed to take good care of patients and successfully run facilities.Learn more about Careers

What is Customer Acquisition Cost ?
CAC [Customer Acquisition Cost] is the cost associated in convincing a customer to buy a product/service. This cost is incurred by the organization to convince a potential customer. This cost is inclusive of the product cost as well as the cost involved in research, marketing, and accessibility costs.
In addition to team, product, and market, there is actually a fourth, equally important, core element of startups, which is the need for a viable business model. Business model viability, in the majority of startups, will come down to balancing two variables:
- Cost to Acquire Customers (CAC)
- The ability to monetize those customers, or LTV (which stands for Lifetime Value of a Customer)
How to calculate the cost to customer acquisition?To compute the cost to acquire a customer, CAC, you would take your entire cost of sales and marketing over a given period, including salaries and other headcount related expenses, and divide it by the number of customers that you acquired in that period. (In pure web businesses where the headcount doesn't need to grow as customer acquisition scales, it is also very useful to look customer acquisition costs without the headcount costs.)

New York's GMHC Prepares for Annual AIDS Walk
On Sunday, May 18, about 30,000 New Yorkers will gather at Central Park for the 29th Annual NYC AIDS Walk. The event -- one of the nation's oldest AIDS Walks -- will seek to raise more than $5.5 million for GMHC and more than 40 other tri-state area AIDS service organizations. Founder Craig Miller never imagined that the event would last so long.
"Back in 1986 when we started this event, we were very hopeful and also very mistaken that perhaps we could defeat this epidemic in the course of a handful of years," Miller told EDGE. "Obviously, that proved to not be the case. But I will also add that were it not for efforts like AIDS Walk, there is no way we would have achieved the progress that we have."
Miller first brought his idea to combine grassroots activism to raise awareness and funds to AIDS Project Los Angeles, which raised $673,000 in their first walk in June 1985. The following spring, Miller helped the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York City organize their first walk, which continues to be the world's biggest. And now is no time to retreat.
"For literally three decades now, many people have given their blood, sweat and tears to bring this epidemic to a close, and to stop the human suffering caused by HIV and AIDS," said Miller. "That goal is now within reach, and we have a choice: continue to demonstrate a commitment to those living with the disease, or retreat from this effort right when we're on the cusp of victory. Our point of view as organizers and those who have survived this epidemic is that we owe it to those who lost their lives and who lost family members to see this battle through to its successful conclusion."
Miller will address the crowd on Sunday, sharing the stage with celebrities including the cast of Broadway's "Mothers and Sons," including six-time Emmy winner Tyne Daly, Bobby Steggert, Grayson Taylor and Tony Award winning playwright Terrance McNally; Randy Fenoli, host of TLC's "Say 'Yes' to the Dress"; Dot-Marie Jones of "Glee"; Eric Olsen and Daniela Ruah of "NCIS: Los Angeles"; Lana Parilla of "Once Upon a Time"; Nick Wechsler of "Revenge"; and CBS 2 News Anchors Dana Tyler and Chris Wragge. Bobby Steggert will sing the annual stepping-off anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone."
But of all of the stars and dignitaries on the stage on Sunday, the person Miller wants to hear speak is Ronald Regins. "He is a client of GMHC, an advocate, and a fierce and fabulous survivor. That's who I'm most looking forward to hearing from," said Miller. "There will be a whole large cast of celebrities and musical performers who I'm sure will be great. But to me, the real substance is when clients speak -- people who actually benefit from the services."
Miller was also very proud to announce exclusively to EDGE that Mayor Bill de Blasio will join him on stage, marking the first time a New York City mayor has helped kick off the AIDS Walk in many years.
Other political officials expected to attend include United States Representative Jerrold Nadler; New York State Senators Brad Hoylman, Liz Krueger, Gustavo Rivera and Jose Peralta; New York State Assemblymembers Herman D. Farrell, Ron Kim, Luis Sepulveda and David Weprin; New York City Council Members Daniel Dromm, Corey Johnson and Ben Kallos; Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice; New York City Human Resources Administration Commissioner Steven Banks; and Director of the AIDS Institute, Office of Planning and Policy, Johanne Morne.
AIDS Walk Funds Reach Clients
Kelsey Louie, recently appointed CEO of GMHC, will also address the crowd. Detractors criticized Louie, the former chief program officer of Harlem United, after he was forced to resign from an LGBT running club after being accused of trying to rig a board election there.
This scandal comes on the heels of the exit of GMHC CEO Marjorie Hill last year, in what was reported by DNA Info as a board-mandated ouster of the longtime leader amid accusations that Hill had lost the organization millions of dollars in grants via staff layoffs and an "acidic management style."
But Miller said that the incoming leader has his support, and told any detractors of GMHC's mission or the AIDS Walk efforts that fund it to come down to GMHC and witness firsthand what those funds are used for.
"Spend some time in GMHC's client dining room and see with their own eyes the hot meals served to people who are very much in need of good nutrition, and companion and support," said Miller. "I would ask them to spend some time with the crisis intervention counselors and ask them if they've been effective in enhancing the lives of the newly diagnosed. I would tell them to visit the satellite testing center in Chelsea where young people are tested and counseled, and given guidance on how to stay healthy through their most sexually active years. Or talk to legislators and ask about the influence GMHC exerts."
"I guess I would say that while GMHC is not a perfect organization, I'm not sure there is such a thing," said Miller. "But I know that GMHC continues to meet an urgent public health and humanitarian need in New York City with passion, compassion and effectiveness."
AIDS Walk Lights Up NY!
On May 15, as part of the Light Up New York! Program, the iconic Empire State Building will be lit in red to raise awareness and fight stigma around HIV, in tandem with the NYC AIDS Walk.
Isabella Rossellini will lead the lighting ceremony of the Empire State Building, one of many New York City buildings that have joined this effort, among them 7 World Trade Center, Bloomberg Tower, Time Warner Cable, the New York Stock Exchange, JP Morgan Chase, One Astor Plaza, the Shops at Columbus Circle, CBS Corporation Headquarters and The Helmsley Building.
This is a new effort in GMHC's partnership with local organizations to spread awareness about the NYC AIDS Walk. They are also continuing their fruitful partnership with first-ever presenting sponsor, Duane Reade drugstores. Customers can purchase a placard at the register, with a donation going to GMHC. For the first time, the sponsor's contribution has exceeded $1.3 million. Miller hopes that all together, the event will raise the funds to help the programs at GMHC and more than 40 other ASOs run smoothly.
"Last year we raised more than $5.5 million. That was an extremely important and gratifying result, and the proceeds from the event were used to make a real difference in the lives of many people in the past year," said Miller. "I hope for Sunday to have that strong turnout and fundraising achievement once again."

Killtown's District Attorney called her nephew into her office.
The nephew wore a spiffy tan uniform. His name was Maxwell, but everyone called him Big Boy.
"What is this crap?" she yelled.
The D.A. tossed a stack of newspapers onto her black desk.
The gleaming visage of local gangleader Fake Face smiled out from photos on the gray newsprint pages.
"This benefit! That benefit! I allow him to operate in this town and he takes it over. He turns legitimate! At the same time, all our joint rackets—excuse me, 'projects,'—that I allowed him in on, he's taken a controlling interest!"
"You wanted his money," Big Boy said.
"Money, schmoney! I can't call him on it. I can't schedule a press conference to say he's taken over my underage Asian prostitutes!"
The District Attorney resembled a severe black brow beneath a silver-gray wig. beneath the brow, deep-set blue eyes peered out at the world. Big Boy didn't see the eyes, but he felt their anger.
Outside the office window stood blue, red, and green skyscrapers. Inside, her nephew stood as straight, as tall, and as massive as those structures.
"You're the only one I can depend on, Big Boy," she said. "My assistants are incompetent. The Mayor's a bozo fit only for photo ops, or playing with the train set I gave him last Christmas. I've been running this town the last ten years and now I find it's being stolen!"
"Yes, Auntie," Big Boy said, straightening himself more in his uniform of epaulets, starched collar, and polished jack boots, indicating his loyalty and willingness to serve.
Unlike everyone else in the city, Big Boy wasn't completely out for himself. He had few ambitions. His powerful Auntie had caused him to be made a Sheriff's deputy. This allowed him to wear a badge and play cop. Beating up the occasional speeding motorist was a bonus. Max was an overgrown frat boy. He was like an obedient big dog that'd listen to the last person who told him something.
"I've had you given a Leave of Absence," his aunt told him now. "Henceforth you work for this office. Your job will be to take over Fake Face's territory. To disrupt his operations. You're going undercover."
His nephew looked quizzically at her. She wondered how to simplify her instructions. Max raised his hand to ask a question.
"Does that mean I don't get to wear a uniform anymore?" Big Boy frowned.
"You'll no longer wear a uniform," she admitted. "But you get to play gangster."
With an unlimited expense account, Big Boy set up shop. A few years ago Max had played football at a small college. Now he recruited former teammates for his new project. Having trouble finding and keeping jobs due to poor grades, criminal records, or lingering concussion problems, they were happy to sign on.
Big Boy outfit them in a new style of uniform: gaudy green suits with purple shirts and green hats with purple bands on them. He did the same for himself, except that his suit jacket had epaulets. Then Max spent a large sum of cash renovating an unused bowling alley at the edge of Fake Face territory. The gray and dilapidated structure transformed itself into the city's largest nightclub.
Big Boy's club was done in shades of green, with purple highlights. "The Green Club," a large purple-green neon sign on the roof announced. After dark the sign could be seen for miles.
Max stocked the club with cases of good whiskey and with busty waitresses, and brought in punk-style hip-hop musical acts—the latest craze—and lit up with a flick of a switch a long glowing green bar with flowing taps of orange, gold, silver, and white booze. Easily obtainable within, toward the back: illegal drugs. Big Boy and his colorfully-arrayed henchmen stood at the entrance, near massive porticoes before a sweeping circular drive displayed by two dozen spotlights, and waited for the crowds.

When a vacation was chock-full of Kodak moments, why not combine a few snapshots into one frame? To accommodate any number, size, or arrangement of photos, your best bet is to customize a piece of mat board yourself. No tape or glue is involved―just a few photo corners―so the images can be easily replaced with your new favorites.
Step 1: For the look shown here, use a cork-backed ruler (to avoid scratches) and position four four-by-six-inch photos faceup 3 1/2 inches from the outside of a 16-by-20-inch mat board.
Step 2: Apply self-adhesive photo corners. Leave each corner a sliver of breathing room so that after you slide in the photos, they won't buckle over time.
Step 3: Cut a spacer the length of one side of the glass with a utility knife. Attach the spacer flush to the glass edge. (It will disappear under the frame.) Repeat for the remaining sides.
Step 4: Flip the glass over so the spacers provide a buffer between the photo's glossy finish and the glass, then pop the whole shebang into a frame.

Apple updates its iOS mobile operating system once a year. But why should the iPhone and iPad have all the fun? On Thursday Apple announced that it will release a new version of OS X—Mountain Lion—this summer, just a year after the release of OS X Lion.
Like Lion, Mountain Lion offers numerous feature additions that will be familiar to iOS users. This OS X release continues Apple's philosophy of bringing iOS features "back to the Mac," and includes iMessage, Reminders, Notes, Notification Center, Twitter integration, Game Center, and AirPlay Mirroring.
As the first OS X release post-iCloud, there's also much more thorough integration with Apple's data-syncing service. Mountain Lion also brings options to limit which kinds of apps users can install. And although there are no actual mountain lions in China, OS X Mountain Lion does add a raft of features to speak to users in the country that's Apple's biggest growth opportunity.
Mountain Lion: Messages replaces iChat, gets public beta
iChat is dead—long live Messages. With Thursday's announcement of Mac OS X Mountain Lion comes the news that iChat is being upgraded and renamed to Messages, with support for the iMessage chat system introduced with iOS 5.
If you can't wait until Mountain Lion arrives this summer to finally use iMessage with your Mac, relax—you don't have to. On Thursday, Apple also released a beta version of Messages for Lion users. (The final version will be available this summer when Mountain Lion ships.)
I've spent the past few days using Messages and Mountain Lion. Here's a first look, keeping in mind that Mountain Lion won't be released for months, so features are in flux and could change.
Mountain Lion: Hands on with Gatekeeper
Last year saw the arrival of the Apple-curated Mac App Store, a creation very much in the mold of the iOS App Store. And many people wondered: Would a locked-down version of Mac OS X, one incapable of running apps not approved by Apple, be far behind?
Apple certainly could have done something like that with Mountain Lion, the company's planned update to Mac OS X that should arrive this summer. But it hasn't—instead, the company has created a new way for developers to sign their work and a new set of options in the Security & Privacy preference pane. According to Apple, it's all an attempt to improve Mac security. Here's how the new Gatekeeper feature works.
Check before first launch
Since at least the days of version 10.5, OS X has had a feature called File Quarantine, which checks apps before they run for the very first time. You most often encounter this feature when you download an app and run it for the first time—a dialog box appears informing you that it's a file downloaded from the Internet, and asking for you to confirm that you do indeed want to run it. (This feature only works with files downloading by certain apps, including web browsers and email clients. A file copied from a USB drive or from a network volume doesn't get checked.)
Mountain Lion: Hands on with Notification Center
For years, many Mac app developers have had to design their own ways to get your attention. The open-source project Growl helped save those developers from reinventing the wheel by creating a more general notification system supported by lots of apps. But with Mountain Lion, a true systemwide notification service will finally arrive when the Mac OS X update ships this summer.
Like its counterpart on iOS, this new service is called Notification Center. With Notification Center, Mac developers now have access to features much like those already found in iOS.
Alerts and notifications appear in the top right corner of the screen in a small bubble that looks an awful lot like a Growl notification. Notification bubbles remain there for five seconds, and then slide off screen to the right. Alerts, on the other hand, remain on-screen until you click on the Show or Close (or in the case of some alerts, Snooze) buttons.
In iOS 5, you see all your recent notifications by pulling down from the top of the screen to reveal Notification Center. In Mountain Lion, the Notification Center list is a narrow band that lives just to off the right side of your screen. You can reveal it either by clicking on the new Notification Center icon at the far right of the menu bar, or by swiping with two fingers starting at the far right edge of the trackpad. Either way, your Mac's entire screen will slide to the left, revealing a list of what's been trying to get your attention recently.
Mountain Lion: Hands on with Notes and Reminders
Two of the new iOS-flavored apps to move to the Mac with the release of Mountain Lion this summer are Notes and Reminders. Here's a sneak peek at how they work.
As in its iOS incarnation, the Notes interface on the Mac is dominated by a yellow text-entry area that resembles a legal pad. There's even a hint of torn paper at the top of the window, and yes, the app's title bar offers a leather texture. The top right corner displays the date on which the note was last modified.
At the bottom of the text-entry area, there are just two buttons. A Trash icon deletes your note; the Share icon brings up one of Mountain Lion's new Share Sheets, offering to attach your note to an email message or an iMessage.

Came across this paste-up on Sutter between Leavenworth & Hyde at what I thought was a vacant lot, but is apparently used as a crappy garage. For those who remember, there used to be a full mural on the wall, but after years of tagging, they finally had to throw in the towel and paint it a nice, lovely urban beige.
This woman with the sad eyes is now in the company of another one by Hugh Leeman. And, as pointed out by a reader, the mural looks like it might be by
Erin McAdams who lives in the area and whose art decorates the walls fo the Eleven O One restaurant Rone, an Australian artist who's part of the Young & Free collective (here you can see another picture of this particular work on Sutter). Apparently he's one of the most iconic artists in Australia, where he's renowned for the stylised images of girls' faces. And he's in town for the show they group having at 941 Geary gallery, opening on Saturday. Don't miss it.
>Update 9/10
The mural is now gone as somebody peeled it off, but you can see his work at the 941 Geary gallery until Ocober 22nd or you can check out a large mural by the Young & Free collective over at Hemlock Alley.

Now, That's More Like It! Champs Take Down Conference Rival
Posted 11:55 PM ET |

Kings Recap:
1/26 @ Phoenix
As I write this, the Kings are closing in on their first victory this season as defending champs...could not think of a better place than Phoenix, who are still ticked off at Dustin Brown and the Kings for ousting them in the Conference Finals.
Thursday night was just a bad night. The Kings looked awful on the power play, not generating anything at the Edmonton net, especially on a kid who had allowed six goals in the first period his last time out!
How long can I watch the Kings until I have the right to start getting angry with their play? Similar to much of the first half last year, the Kings cannot score. Although they seem to be trying, but again nothing seems to work. In the game on Thursday, the Kings looked nothing like champions. LA looked like a totally different team than they had been during their great playoff run.
Simply put, the Kings did not force the issue against the last-place Oilers, did not impose their will like the Sharks had done to them the game before, and did not hold down the fort late in the game.
The officiating on both sides was nothing short of a comedy of errors. It seemed to me that they were simply guessing. Guessing all the way up to the point where Nail Yakupov did his impression of Theo Fleury for the Flames in 1991 after scoring the game-tying goal with under ten seconds left. Don Cherry was ticked off, as usual, but really I didn't mind it so much. Think of it this way, the Oilers have finished dead last the last few years in a full rebuild mode. They get crushed by another Conference rival San Jose the previous game, then host the Stanley Cup champion Kings.
With the refs guessing and taking what should have been a good goal away to tie the game moments before, the Oilers deserved to get something out of a game where they had frustrated the likes of Brown, Kopitar, Carter and Richards all night long. And, they found a way to beat Jonathan Quick late in a game.
So, for a team who is destined once again to finish near the bottom of a very deep and experienced Conference, let them have their fun. They won't have that much fun for a few more years unfortunately.
However, tonight the boys in black and white seemed to get their game going finally. Although the power play still stinks, the Kings did force the issue a bit more against a team that wanted to beat them so badly.
Hallelujah to the fact that the Kings did not have to square off with Mike Smith, sitting out with an injury. Us Kings fans all remember Jason LaBarbera. I still like him, and I like him even more after tonight, as he allowed four goals to a team who had scored just four goals in their first three games combined...all against teams who had trouble keeping the puck out of their net last season (Chicago, Colorado and Edmonton).
Good for Jake Muzzin, who will never score a goal as easy as the one he had tonight. His harmless wrist shot from the blue line somehow eluded LaBarbera's glove hand. Still, a goal to remember, as it was his first. Next time, it probably won't be that easy Jake.
Perhaps for the Kings, playing against the better teams in the Conference, like Phoenix and Vancouver coming up on Monday, will get them back into shape and their confidence back. I'd expect for the Kings to come out flying against the Canucks, looking to make up for their opening night awful performance against the Blackhawks, who seem to be beating everybody at the moment.
Jonathan Quick is the best goaltender in the league. Not only is he the most athletic goalie, but also the most consistent. Nothing seems to phase this guy. However, I still disagree with playing him every game. I just don't think it is smart to give him start after start after start.
Coach Sutter will say, he gives you the best chance to win, and I am going to stick with him...I do not disagree with that at all. That is not the point. The Kings are going to need Quick 100% and ready to go come October in the first full season of his 10-year contract extension. With that being said, Jonathan Bernier does not want to be a backup in Los Angeles his entire career. He even requested a trade immediately after the Kings had won the cup. The only way to move Bernier is to give him some playing time. Playing Quick every game not only increases the chances of him re-aggravating his back, but also takes "show" time away from Bernier. If Bernier can somewhat prove that he can take over as a number one goalie, and play to his potential, then the Kings will be able to sell high on him during the off-season. To me, this is the smart thing to do, not only for now, but the for the future as well.
• Cheers to the fourth liners, who have picked up a couple points to start the season. Kyle Clifford has been all over the ice in these first four games. He has been the unsung hero.
• Kopitar finally scores a pair of goals tonight against rival Coyotes. Up until tonight, the Kings had gotten a grand total of 1 goal from the top dogs such as Kopitar, Brown, Carter, Richards and Doughty. Tonight, the Kings get two from Kopi and one from Carter.
• I enjoy reading Matthew Berry, his rants most of all. Mr. Berry, do you recall how hard you were on Jamie Kompon last year as the Kings' special teams guy. Well, can the Kings' power play really be that much worse than it is now? Kompon is probably taking note at how awful the Kings' power play remains, even without him there and laughing it off. By the way, he is now an assistant coach to Joel Quenneville and the unbeaten Blackhawks!
• One more time...Please play Bernier coach Sutter!

Angelina Arts Alliance News Release – February 21, 2014
Contact: Ginger Trotter, Marketing and Production – 936-633-3220
THE MIRACLE WORKER is LIVE Theater at its Best
Award-Winning Montana Rep in Lufkin March 4th
LUFKIN, TX. Few stories are as timeless — or reveal the courage and resilience of the human spirit — as THE MIRACLE WORKER. Montana Repertory Theatre excels at bringing new vitality and vision to time-honored theater pieces as audiences will see on this national tour. Tickets are available to experience this stirring dramatization of the early life of Helen Keller on Tuesday March 4th, 7:30 pm in the Temple Theater. This family friendly production tells the story of young Helen Keller, deaf and blind since infancy, who finds her way into the world of knowledge and understanding with the help of Annie Sullivan, her gifted tutor. In some of the most turbulent and emotion-packed scenes ever presented on the stage, Helen overcomes rage and confusion to triumph over her physical disabilities. Presented by Angelina Arts Alliance with tickets ranging from $27-$36 (Premium/Box $46), THE MIRACLE WORKER, is sponsored by First Bank & Trust of East Texas. The 2013-14 Season Sponsors are Lufkin Industries, Inc. and Memorial Health System of East Texas.
THE MIRACLE WORKER was the second Broadway effort by playwright William Gibson, and his most acclaimed work. After earning three Tony awards on Broadway, the 1962 film version received several Oscar nominations and Oscars for its stars Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke. The determination and grit of teacher Annie Sullivan is still a shining example today – – of victory over unbelievable odds — accomplished through conviction, perseverance, and love.
With this production, Montana Repertory Theatre continues to explore great American plays which penetrate the core of human experience. One of the oldest and most respected touring companies in the country, Montana Repertory Theatre's professional ensemble has garnered awards from the worlds of Broadway, national and international tours, film, and television. Lufkin audiences have previously seen the company's touching productions of To Kill a Mockingbird, Bus Stop, and A Trip to Bountiful.

The burial of Satdjehuty was discovered around 1820. It probably originally consisted of at least a coffin, the mummy, a heart scarab, this mummy mask and a quantity of linen. It is rare to find burial equipment from the early Eighteenth Dynasty (about 1550-1295 BC), and a piece in such superb condition is extremely rare. Only the mask and linen are in the British Museum.
We learn from texts written on the mass of linen that it was given to Satdjehuty 'in the favour of the god's wife, king's wife, and king's mother Ahmose-Nefertari'. Ahmose-Nefertari was the wife of Ahmose I (1550-1525 BC), the first king of the Dynasty, and the mother of Amenhotep I (1525-1504 BC), with whom she subsequently became associated as local deities. That Satdjehuty should have received such an honour shows she was a lady of the highest rank in courtly circles.
The winged head-dress on this mask is a feature found on funerary headpieces and coffins in the Second Intermediate Period (about 1750-1650 BC), and perhaps denotes protection of the deceased by a deity. The gilding shows the dead Satdjehuty as one of the gods, whose skin was gold.

Gosh darn it.
Where have I been?
Truth is, I have a tendency to feel blah after vacation and have a hard time getting back into routine. So bloggin falls by the way side a bit. Sorry y'all. I really do miss regular blabberings on this little piece of the internet.
In the meantime, we have been making slow and steady progress on the house front. Including actually doing the whole mortgage signing with the bank etc. It's been a very interesting learning process. In fact, some people have approached me to talk about the logistical process of building...and all that goes into it. While I know not nearly enough, I think for sure I would like to share all the things you don't realize or think about when it comes to building..maybe it might be helpful or interesting on some front.
September has been a big month so far. My little one has started school (gasp!) and I spent tons of time wrapping up with many kiddos on my caseload, as we say farewell, and they move on to school as well.
My down time has actually been spent perusing home stuff...preparing myself to make decisions (cuz I hate being indecisive...it's very wasteful IMO..but then so is browsing the internet). Sourcing has been interesting....but I think, all in all, I feel pretty confident about the aesthetic of the home we are building. If anything, I am a bit too confident. (Fingers crossed we can fit it in the budget!)
I hope to write some upcoming posts on the following...cuz I wake up some times and think about some of these things!!
- appliances (a doozy)
- light fixtures
- flooring
- kitchen
Cuz framing is starting and soon we hope to have a place to put all that stuff!!
Happy Fall!

Selecting the Right Deductible
Trupanion takes its insurance options seriously because we know how important it is to keep pets safe and secure. Comprehensiveness and affordability is how we operate. Based on the age and breed of your dog, as well as your financial outlook, Trupanion will help you figure out the best deductible for your plan.
Cost of a Deductible
The price varies for your deductible based on what is most cost-effective and reassuring for you. Deductibles are available starting at $0, as well as from $50 to $1,000 at $5 increments. We have deliberately crafted this flexibility in our deductible price range in order to take care of every customer's unique set of circumstances. Moreover, you may change your deductible rate at any time you see fit.
Lifetime Deductible
Once you file a claim for a particular accident or condition (say, a broken leg or diabetes) the deductible only must be paid one time. So, rather than continue to get charged for repeat deductibles for the same issue, one $100 deductible (for example) would cover the broken leg from initial appointment all the way through recovery. From there forward, Trupanion will cover 90% of veterinary costs. Bear in mind that a separate deductible will be required if a new accident or condition occurs.
Paying Your Deductible
As previously mentioned, a deductible must only be paid once per incident or condition. When you file a claim through the vet, the bill will be given to you (say it is a total of $1,000) to take care of. The deductible is the amount of money you must pay before Trupanion steps in to cover 90% of the remaining costs.
Which Price is Right?
Every dog is different. Depending on whether they are in puppy-hood, middle-aged, or are late in their years, the best deductible for their plan will vary. With the aid of professional insight from your local veterinarian as well as Trupanion representatives, it would behoove you to determine the caliber of your pet's health and what deductible best suits them and your financial circumstances. And remember, their deductible level can always be changed as time passes.
For clarifications, questions, or comments about Trupanion coverage, please give us a call 24/7 at 1-(800)-569-7913.

Doing facials at home is economical and you can control the quality of the ingredients.You can purchase a pearl facial kit like VLCC or opt to DIY.Always remember to do a patch test before applying any product on your skin.

SUNRISE, Fla. – Benoit Pouliot and Teddy Purcell helped the Tampa Bay Lightning finally get back on the winning track.
Pouliot scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, lifting the Lightning to a 6-5 victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
The Lightning ended a six-game losing streak and got their first victory since Feb. 1st against Winnipeg, after opening the season at 6-1.
On the winning score, the puck bounced off the end boards and out to Pouliot, who was open in front. His wrist shot went into the net 1:19 into overtime.
"I was surprised it came back in front," Pouliot said. "I just put my head down and went to the net. It made a weird bounce and came back out to me and I just put it in. Coming out of here with a big win like this; it's going to be huge for us."
Steven Stamkos also scored twice, and Purcell and Alexander Killorn each had a goal for the Lightning. Anders Lindback made 25 saves.
Purcell's goal with 11 seconds left in regulation tied it 5-all as his shot from the slot hit off the post and into the net. Purcell was camped in front of the Panthers' net as players scrambled for control of the puck while the final seconds of regulation ticked off, and was rewarded for his effort.
"I knew the puck was going to come out to the front," Purcell said. "I was just trying to get a little space away from the defenders, and I was luckily uncovered and I was able to one-time it on net."
Tomas Kopecky and Jonathan Huberdeau scored third-period goals to give the Panthers a lead they couldn't hold. Jerred Smithson, Jack Skille, and Shawn Matthias also had goals for the Panthers and Jose Theodore stopped 30 shots. Mike Weaver had two assists and Matthias also had an assist.
Florida lost its fourth straight and third in a row in overtime.
"We're not finishing," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. "You're not going to get in the playoffs with 48 points. You can't try to get a point a game; it's just not going to work. We've got to find a way a more complete effort and end up with two points."
The Panthers got two goals early in the third to build a 5-3 lead.
The tiebreaking score came on the efforts of a couple of rookies as Drew Shore passed across the crease in front to Huberdeau, who redirected it into the net at 1:53 for his sixth goal of the season. Kopecky's shot from the right side of the net put the Panthers ahead by two at 3:24.
Stamkos' second goal came during a 4-on-3 power play and closed the score to 5-4. His slap shot from the left circle rifled past Theodore at 7:28. Stamkos has nine goals and three assists over a seven-game point streak against the Panthers.
"At that point of the game, you have to put teams away," Smithson said. "You have to work to get that puck out, you have to do things the hard way. We obviously didn't do it and let another point slip away."
Trailing 3-2, Florida tied it in the waning seconds of the second period when Smithson poked in a rebound with 5 seconds left.
The Panthers tied it 2-all in the second on Skille's goal at 2:27. The Lightning regained the lead quickly. Stamkos pounced on a rebound in front of the Panthers net and backhanded the puck past Theodore a little over a minute later to make it 3-2.
"We never quit. That's never a question and never will be a question and we showed it again tonight," Stamkos said. "We finally got a bounce our way on the overtime goal. Hopefully, this sparks some momentum and will help us moving forward."
The Panthers, who were shut out in their last game, wasted no time changing that trend, taking a 1-0 lead 48 seconds in. Weaver took a shot from just inside the blue line on the right side. Matthias deflected the puck past Lindback.
The Lightning tied it at 1 on Pouliot's first goal. Vincent Lecavalier passed the puck from behind the net out to Pouliot in front, who wristed in into the net at 4:48. The Lightning took a 2-1 lead on Killorn's first career goal at 6:51 of the first.
"It felt really good. It was not a great shot or anything like that, but that's usually how the first one goes in," Killorn said. "I'm just happy that I was able to provide for the team."
NOTES: Panthers W Kris Versteeg missed his second consecutive game with an upper body injury. … Lindback returned in net for Tampa Bay after missing Thursday's game against Washington because of illness. … Lecavalier has recorded a point in four straight games.

New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
Hello, I came across this forum reading about game in the anglosphear, I am living in NZ visiting family in a small northland town and will be here for next year or so. I want to talk to visitors/tourists (as well kiwis and others) who have been to this country. I am finding the local girls dissatisfying lacking any class, Rarely they are feminine and few and far between are attractive; often very closed and somewhat confused/unsure, So I would like some advice in order to to adjust my game for the local women. I have asked previously in the naughty nomad forum, and they of not much help and eventually upon joining a political debate they were too pro west russophobic/greekphobic/eastern phobian feminist whore pedstoolers.
I am in my mid twenties with a eastern european accent, athletic build, I have natural indirect direct type of game that i escalate quick with my alpha/playful/dominant personality. I am from a well off family and dress well, usually blazers and stand out almost everywhere among kiwis, while most of the men are either jealous/uneasy or respectful/eagerly helpful towards me, I do get hit on by older women in the day and many cougers at night but thats not what I am after. I Prefer day game as night life the girls are much lower in quality, drunk and spit in your face and busy in their little social circle and it can be quite easy to come off as needy if you don't have wings/social circle of your own. The women seem to be clueless up stuck and not very used to men approaching them in the day and prefer to meet beta "stay under my foot" guys from their social circle, some guys run seeding game or drunk sloppy ons every now and then; many are in sets of 2 and 3 or just out of shape, young girls with kids from multiple fathers and even metal feminist types are not uncommon. And this is among the NZ Anglo European stock, I don't even bother with the Polynesians as I don't find them much attractive..
Its very f***ed up, nothing like the hollywood movies, women are less shitty in bigger towns but cant hold a candle to a european girl.
So far best girls I have meet are visitors like me, mostly from EU, and harbor similar feelings as I. I know this is an american forum, however seeing how UK/USA/Canada/Aus/NZ falls into Western/anglospear and shares similar behavior/culture, I wish to have some advice on day game in the anglosphear from ethnic westerners or direct me to another forum where more like minded NZ tourists/people visit. I also wish to know the best spots are to meet more tourists in upper northland and other big nz towns, preferably from Europe.
*Sorry for my bad english.

Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
Your accent/English is fine enough for me. Your English comprehension is better than most HA members comprehension of a foreign language so you're doing fine by that alone. You're in a tight spot because NZ is in the middle of Oceania which is in the middle of the South Pacific right? It will be costly for you to get out of there for travel. The closest place is the Philippines and Thailand. But you can fly directly to Peru, Chile or Argentina in South America but it will be wildly-expensive. I traveled from the Philippines to S. America, and it put a dent in my savings; this was 2008.
I was actually thinking about going to Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) after going to Auckland. Do you think guys that look "Black American" to them would do well in W. Samoa (not American Samoa), Auckland and Christchurch?
It's time to expatriate to evade your fate; it's time to expatriate before the barn door permanently closes on "US" sheep.

Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
NZ females are just vile, worthless sluts like other Western females. Since it is a race to the bottom in terms of reproductively compatible males, I imagine blacks could indeed do well. You know Christchurch is still basically a disaster zone, right?
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
Oh Cornfed, I have to extol you for being yourself. :-/

Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
Thanks, I often get mistaken for a Russian, but I am not.
I am not too sure about samoa as they are somewhat deeply rooted people and may get worse results then mainland NZ in terms of women. I had a "friend" from there once, as you know the polynesians here dont get along very well, booze is their best friend and create problems in gang culture with maoris. Cook islander maoris are much better people, I knew a african black fella who was married to a white looking maori girl (but she quickly lost her shape after 2nd baby)
A Black man drummer is a friend of a friend in auckland who sometimes comes to this small northland town, and its not very good for him. He went and sat there like a clown with a angry face expecting them to approach him, I would say since 1/3 the NZ population is brown/dark skinned natives, the locals (white nz european stock and Polynesian stock) prefer to mix and mingle among their own. Just this other week a Serbian friend of mine was harassed by a girls uncle because he wanted to ask her out.
The local girls can be overly defensive and in their little bubble, sometimes xenephobic but a lot of them are just wanting to shoot you down and joke around with their friends, some of they in sets are in fear of appearing like a slut if they join a rich dude to coffe, unless they are alone, and at night unless they are drunk/interested they wont bother. the night clubs are very bad, too loud so its all dance game, (more cock teasing) Its a different kind of game that works here and I haven't figured it out (yet). The welfare state has made the women really, un women like.
I only stay here in NZ a year more, then I go. So not looking to travel till then and make the most of the shitty local women while I am here, there are some good looking ones but they are often few and far between and the average ones seem to have mental/social issues! Europe is much better then this, but this time when I go I am thinking western/northern europe.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
Yes true, but you must understand, I am here to make the best out of it, I am not looking for wives among whores, just input on adjusting the game for anglosphere.
Chirstchurch is becoming a police state they say, I have not been there but its okay now. But it may be better for a black man to stay in Northland. the South and even wellington is as I have been told a different country.
I wouldn't call Kiwi females vile, they are just very weird, and isolated in this little island, definitely a lower class then other western women as America, Canada, Britain.
I have meet 20 year old girls at 3am in the club/bar who keps talking to me about their "children". Why are you here, go attend to your children you whores. See, they get money, hundraeds of dollars of child support from the government to make children with many many men. I have seen children who wonder alone at night, some were sleeping in benches, many things that is hidden under belly.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
You'd probably be better off going to Auckland if you want young, attractive females. Most of the females in Northland who would be quality females in a non-feminist society go there to become corporate whores of some sort. The reason it seems that NZ females are even worse than their counterparts in other feminist asylums is that you are dealing with the dregs to some extent in small towns now.
The far south is. Mostly white people who have hung on to their traditions to some extent. I wouldn't advise going there. It wouldn't necessarily be hostile to you, but you probably wouldn't fit in.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
But I am not Black. You have me confused with the other person. I was advising that other black guy as he was asking.
Are south islanders also hostile towards non anglo saxon as eastern european/mediterranean men? In south they are like rednecks who will call me a communist?
I have been told by a few girls locally that I would love Wellington, as the women there actually dress up, use makeup, have good legs, mini skirts, just approachable and looking for a fun time. Not all fat, mental confused and cold like northland.
You sound like you have experience in this country, Do you know of any good places in northland, I find 4 girls out of 10 that are attractive, out of them 2 are approachable, and I would have to approach 10 girls as that to number close a couple, and out of that most will flake out. I will be leaving for Auckland somewhere next year. Kiwis are quiet not much "likable and mixing" type of people. Even today I meet a group of tourists from eu. We had a small chat around, showed them a few good spots and gave them directions, seems most visitors live an hr away from the city and are out sometime in the day to visit a few places but that is on end of week days. thursday,friday.
I really kind of like the town, but its missing a life vibe and the women are of not much adding to value.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
OK well probably my comment still applies. You would likely not face hostility but you might still be excluded. But maybe I am behind the times here.
Wellington is of course the Capital, so of course there are lots of females in relatively well-paid jobs with the guvmint who dress as you say. That is only in central Wellington if you can afford to pay the rent there. In the outer suburbs it is much like Northland.
Northland is essentially a sprawling rural ghetto now, so like in any ghetto, the only good places are the rich places. In Northland, Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands areas are now the rich places, so you would have to have money to live there, as these areas are deliberately priced to keep dirty poor people out, and of course heavily policed. There you will find attractive white females who pass as classy these days. There are also areas further south that pass as classy, but these are really an offshoot of Auckland.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
I do feel this is some what of a closed community, although I may have made a local friend or two I am usually excluded, many foreign young guys I meet are somewhat viewed same way.
What kind of background do you have yourself and how long have you lived in NZ? What part of the world do you live now?? I ask as my next step in moving out would be settling in western EU for a year or two.
I dont think I can do any more then a few weeks in big NZ Towns, I am not a local, I do not have a "job" here, I do occasional trade here and there and run on my savings and stay with the family I came to visit, its a rich semi rural place, just 10 mins out side the town called whanagrei, its the biggest town in northland, I am often in town, the town seems somewhat brighter then auckland in overall quality, (less aggressive ghetto islander/maoris, less noisy warmer people, less dirty) but its still crap in the long run. I spoke to quite some tourists and seems most live OUTSIDE, close to Kaitia/Kerikeri. So you may have a point there.
Most kiwi women seem pretty class less and clueless unless you want drunken ons, vile as you said earlier may be too crude word but that may just be it, I agree. So I am not wanting to put too much work trying to blend into their little retarded community, I display higher value and be myself an take them as it comes along, mean while I want to put more work meeting foreign / tourist women, if you know of any good places / spots in northland do let me know.
Perhaps its best I move to auckland before I leave NZ, as I may have results better there. What good spots do you know in auckland?
thanks for any information.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
The reason that central Whangarei seems OK is that it is aggressively policed. In the suburbs such as Tikipunga it is like Detroit.
Central Auckland is essentially an international city, so that would be a good place. The trouble is the cost of living there. Auckland is a strange city, in that it is spread out and the only good places to live generally cost a lot.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
What suburbs do you classify as Central Auckland? Would not be Mount Roskill, Eden or Albert would it? I have been to those places for few weeks here and there as well as North Shore(best but not central and quite far from the city center). Mount Roskill was worse, and I know what you mean about whangarei, I have driven through Otangarei and in Auckland the South. filthy sh!t, The country is sold as milk and honey but inside is very different.
also, what country would you suggest in europe after my NZ trip is over? for a bit well off student mid 20's man running DHV alpha/dominant game? I was thinking tourist visa or student visa (language course) to Western/Central European country, as Netherlands, Germany or Scandinavian country(norway, sweden). I travel a region for few months and stay for year or two where ever I go.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
Spoke with some tourists today from oz, then to some kiwis, kiwis are cold people, even ozis seem better then this. buyers beware.
Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
This is odd because I had sex with a Kiwi/Scarlett-Johannson-esque (but with blond hair) in Melbourne, Victoria, Aussie-land in 2007, and she was the first skinny Caucasian that was non-ghetto-looking girl I had. She was a brother lover but at least she didn't adhere to the American steretype as one, which made me somewhat happy.
It's time to expatriate to evade your fate; it's time to expatriate before the barn door permanently closes on "US" sheep.

Re: New Zealand/Western Women - Need advice please
Interesting, Maybe the kiwis may like you blacks after all? Maybe she thought you are NZ Maori, a lot of them look african american if they cut their hair really short, they are stereotypical, wannabe thug, wear hollywood movie black cloths. I am not kidding, there is a great dark skinned population, I have meet some polynesians who are darker then most blacks! Half of them who look brown through 100 years of mixing, some look "white" but claim to be maori but mostly due to identity crises and social benefits. All have drinking problems and bad behavior, And I was told by a hair dresser woman once that "most of the NZers are into closed circles and are raised among either NZ European stock or Polynesians".
Almost all of the kiwi girls I have been with so far were from overseas, visiting their family in NZ? Coincidence?
its day game I am trying to master, I can take drunk kiwi girls in bars but the quality is not there. I will be hitting the big cities and report back.
