Part of the leadership at JMH Development is Jason Halpern as the Managing Partner. From a history point of view, Jason's family has been in the real estate sector for many years. The Halpern family has had a stellar track record of managing and constructing numerous properties in New York for more than 50 years. As such, the family has been responsible for building hundreds of residential apartments in New York City while developing several million square feet of commercial space.
In 2010 Jason Halpern took control of the family business JMH Development and now under his leadership they have over $500 million invested in projects in New York alone. This includes a widely lauded development on 184 Kent, where they turned a warehouse into 340 luxury apartments. 184 Kent was announced as the recipient of the 2011 Building Brooklyn Award in the adaptive reuse category. JMH Development is an experienced developer of major residential and commercial properties across the country. With a focus on an innovative approach to developing distinctive luxury properties, JMH has pioneered the development of well positioned and unique properties.
The restoration of the Townhouses of Cobble Hill is among the projects that Halpern has completed. With his unique development expertise, the 45-year-old has led JMH to the acquisition and development of several historically significant landmarked buildings. The goal of Halpern and JMH Development is to ensure they create high-quality work spaces throughout the country with a touch of innovation. What makes Jason Halpern stand out from the crowd of his peers is his niche passion for building in historic districts.
On his personal time, Jason Halpern pursues philanthropic interests. He spends his spare time and resources at a Trauma Center in Westchester. His charitable endeavors don't stop at his community seeing that he has brought the same culture of philanthropy to the workplace. For instance, in 2015 he launched a partnership program that donated $20,000 of every contract signed to benefit water projects in Ethiopia and Nepal. This means that JMH Development, with the help of local charities in the countries mentioned above, is bringing clean water to many Ethiopian and Nepalese locals.

THIBODAUX — The City Council will consider a measure Tuesday that would give the mayor a monthly vehicle allowance, a request that was previously deferred because of legal questions.
Mayor Tommy Eschete asked the City Council for a monthly allowance because he plans to use his Ford F-150 for work travel rather than asking the city to buy or lease him a vehicle.
The measure would give Eschete $550 per month to cover vehicle expenses. That is $200 less than the estimated $750 taxpayers paid monthly for the lease, insurance and fuel for former Mayor Charles Caillouet's Dodge Charger.
The council will vote on the measure following a public hearing to be held during Tuesday's council meeting. The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 310 W. Second St.
The request was first discussed at the council's Jan. 18 meeting, but Councilman Gene Richard questioned if providing Eschete with the allowance would violate the city's charter, which is like a constitution. The allowance could be considered part of the mayor's annual salary, he said, and could be viewed as a pay raise.
The charter allows the council to change the mayor's salary, but the change cannot be implemented during the current terms of those who approve it.
"I'm not against the idea," Richard said at the Jan. 18 meeting. "I just don't want to violate the charter."
The charter does allow reimbursement to the mayor and council members "by the city for reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties."
Eschete says the proposed allowance would be considered a reasonable expense.
The council voted to delay action until city officials could research the matter and get an opinion from the state Attorney General's Office.
Jenny Morvant, council administrator, said the Attorney General's Office informed her that they provide opinions on state law, not local issues. A vehicle allowance does not violate any state law, she said.
Germaine Jackson, the city's attorney, also checked with the general counsel for the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's Office, Morvant said, and was told the vehicle allowance "is allowable and not a violation of the City Charter."
Jackson will attend Tuesday's meeting to address any additional legal concerns that might arise, Morvant said. Richard could not be reached for comment.

Kim Sears Changes Her Name As She Cheers On Her Hubby
Mrs Murray steps out for the first time since her wedding to support Andy Murray at the French Open...
Update - 26 May 2015:
It's official! Kim Sears has changed her name after marrying tennis champion Andy Murray last month.
Mrs Murray was spotted for the first time since her wedding cheering on her hubby at the French Open tennis tournament in a suitably stylish outfit.
Teaming a dark floral frock with a leather jacket and her trusty handbag, the newlywed looked every inch the tennis WAG.
Wimbledon champion, Andy Murray was playing Argentina's Facundo Arguello on day two of the 2015 French Open in Paris.
Original - 13th April 2015:
Hundreds of people turned out to see the country's golden couple, tennis champion Andy Murray and long-term girlfriend Kim Sears tie the knot in style at a small cathedral in Dunblane, Scotland on Saturday.
The handsome groom kept things traditional in a blue and green kilt whilst the blushing bride looked stunning in a vintage style wedding gown by British designer Jenny Packham (a favourite with the Duchess of Cambridge!)
For many, the sights were reminiscent of the excitement when Prince William and Kate Middleton wed back in 2011, as Scottish shop windows displayed congratulations messages and even memorabilia in support of their local heroes.
As for the reception, Andy's proud grandmother Shirkey Erskine says the nuptials were "fantastic" and while she couldn't remember which song the couple had their first dance to, she revealed that Judy Murray didn't take to the dance floor to show off any moves she learnt during her stint on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Following a long weekend of partying, it's reported the newlyweds have taken a well deserved 'mini-moon' to spend some quality time as man and wife before Andy heads to Barcelona for training ahead of the BMW Open in Munich, which starts on April 25.
It's thought the couple will take a proper honeymoon in the autumn.
Kim, who will be taking on Andy's last name, met the tennis ace at the US Open in 2005 and they announced their engagement last year.

Turn Up Your Shine Dial
Paying It Forward
"Turning up your shine dial will add great value to your whole life"
Yes, you do have a shine dial. Here's how to turn yours up
Turn Up Your Shine Dial!
We all have a shine dial, it's inside of us, and we can turn it up any time we choose to.
By turning yours up, you will increase your vibrational frequency.
In other words, you will brighten your energy field, which in turn will influence your whole life.
By using the simple method below on a regular basis the way you think, behave, and respond to life's events with begin to change.
The more you turn up your shine dial, the longer the periods of time it stays turned up with expand.
Doreen Virtue first taught me this method in 2003.
The benefits are amazing! You do need to check in with yourself often and note where your shine dial (say, between 1 - 10, 10 being the brightest) for this to have an effect on your energy and well-being.
So, take the few moments necessary to every day, intuitively notice where your shine dial is set, and turn it up as much
- or as little - as you feel is right for you.
Take your time.
Go gently.
The increased energy frequency may take time to integrate, so allow yourself plenty of space.
It is not a race or competition.
Higher is not necessarily best for you when you begin.
It has to feel right for you.
Give yourself the time necessary to turn yours up regularly
Here's how you turn yours up:
Simply close your eyes, take a breath, and breathe.
You may like to have soft relaxing music playing.
Ask the angels to help you see or feel your shine dial.
Allow a dial of some kind to float into your awareness…
Don't try to force it to happen, just be willing to let it come to you…
When you see it, since it, feel it, or simply imagine it, reach out in your
eye and turn d it up 🌟
That's it.
You have just turned up your shine dial!

You're a natural born expert on making me sick.
And I'm trying to figure out what makes you tick.
I stay away from you so why don't you leave me be.
Do I have to lock you up and swallow the key ?
Just get outta my face or I'll get in yours.
I'll fuck you up for all time and feel no remorse.
I don't wanna see you I don't want you around.
Get yourself some treatment 'cause you're far from sound.
Get outta my face !
Get outta my face !
Get outta my face !
You're a backstabber deluxe and a bringer of the grey.
I seem to be your target but I promise you will pay.
So jump into the fire and check what I can do.
You think that you're superior but that's very far from true.
Watch me map you out, let me get some time to probe.
I'll get my plan going and wipe you off the globe.
So get outta my face and stay out of my sight.
Keep this terror going and your future won't be bright.
Get outta my face !
Get outta my face !
Get outta my face !

The Romero family has expanded their Olathe offerings.
Their K-macho's Mexican Restaurant Cantina recently opened at 1229 Santa Fe St., Olathe, next to their Bonito Michoacan Meat Market, Produce Bakery.
They've completely remodeled the former pool hall, separating it into sections — front entrance, main dining room, back bar area and private dining room. A large iron chandelier holds center court, while mid-century styled murals line the dining room walls. Kitschy ceramic pieces are found here and there, including monkeys clutching crushed beer cans. Brightly colored, hand-painted bar backs feature such scenes as men snoozing under their sombreros, tequila bottles in hand.
Menu items include pan-seared tilapia with light lemon wine sauce served on white rice and topped with mushrooms, shrimp, tomato and onion, and grilled shrimp topped with chipotle sauce.
Tortillas are made fresh in the bar area in the evenings.Another Pie Five Pizza
Pie Five Pizza Co. plans to open its second area restaurant, this one in Oak Park Commons, 12154 W. 95th St., Lenexa. A mid-November opening is planned.
The Pie Five name comes from the 5 minutes it should take from order to pickup. The first Pie Five opened in Fort Worth in 2011, combining handmade pizzas with fresh ingredients and the latest high-speed baking techniques — the pizza takes only 2 1/2 minutes to bake and the restaurants say it should only take five minutes from the time they place their order to when they pick it up, thus the "five" in the Pie Five name. In 2102, Pie Five was named a hot concept of the year by Nation's Restaurant News.
The area franchisee also opened a location at 13366 Metcalf Ave., Overland Park, in August.New bundt cake shop
An area franchisee for Nothing Bundt Cakes plans to open a shop Friday at 13420 Metcalf Ave., Overland Park.
The national chain sells a variety of bundt cake flavors, including red velvet, white chocolate raspberry, cinnamon swirl, and pecan praline, in a variety of sizes. The cakes come in a variety of sizes including the bite-size bundtini, the single serving size bundtlet, an 8-inch cake serving about eight people, a 10-inch cake serving about 18, and tiered cakes serving about 26 people.
The cakes also can be decorated with ribbons, birthday hats and flowers. Nothing Bundt Cake designs for special occasions such as birthdays, Mother's Day, "thinking of you" and "thank you" gifts.Quick bite
Academy Sports + Outdoors, a sports, outdoor and lifesyle retailer, plans to open Friday at 14405 W. 135th St. in Olathe. It also has a store in Overland Park.

Is it time to make language instruction accessible to anyone who wants it? It's not just about national security and economic competitiveness – it's about world class population as a nation.
College Park, MD (PRWEB) October 03, 2013
On Monday, September 30th, American Councils for International Education President Dr. Dan E. Davidson joined language leaders from government, industry, nonprofits, and the broader field of education to examine the feasibility of eradicating barriers to foreign language education in the U.S., and in other English-speaking countries. The group asked directly: Is the English language enough for our children? And if not, why?
Before an audience of over 150 industry professionals and educators, many of whom have dedicated their lives to language education, six groups of panelists debated challenging topics in language education and policy as they questioned the role of K-12 systems, higher education institutions, government, and private industry to make language education universally available. Participants ranged in experience type and background, from the high school French teacher from the state of Maryland to Clay Pell of the U.S. Department of Education to Dr. David S.C. Chu, president of the Institute for Defense Analyses.
"There is a growing body of evidence that shows that U.S. higher education programs can adapt the way they teach languages and culture for the needs of an increasingly diverse student population, only a very small percentage of which is focused on going on to study that language in graduate school," said Dr. Dan E. Davidson, president of American Councils. "In the context of economic globalization, language and cultural proficiency—typically at the advanced or professional level—are increasingly important for students across many fields and professional aspirations. Those students who have had the opportunity to study a second or third language in K-12 are at an advantage in today's environment."
Entitled Languages for All? The Anglophone Challenge, the forum was convened by the University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL) and co-sponsored by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), American Councils for International Education, British Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences, Defense Language Institute Foundation, Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), and Joint National Committee on Languages – National Council for Language and International Studies (JNCL-NCLIS). National Security Agency Director of Research Michael Wertheimer, University of Maryland President Wallace Loh, Vice President and Chief Research Officer Patrick O'Shea, and University of Maryland Director of Language Initiatives Richard D. Brecht gave opening remarks.
The panels were led by renown experts in the field from the British and Australian academies, Fortune 500 companies, the Department of Education, Department of Defense, and school boards, along with researchers, school administrators, foreign language practitioners, policymakers, and a former governor. Panel topics were selected to engage participants in a provocative debate on why foreign language instruction should be a priority in our country and in others. Speakers encouraged participants to challenge hypotheses and historical perceptions.
Founder of CASL and Chairman of the Board of Trustees for American Councils for International Education Dr. Richard D. Brecht challenged his peers: "Is it time to make language instruction accessible to anyone who wants it? It's not just about national security and economic competitiveness – it's about world class population as a nation."
Dr. Brecht went on to describe the language field's ultimate dilemma: that studies and influencers continue to tout the need for language, but the will must be paired with resources and "action" to make foreign language acquisition an essential part of our children's education. CASL will distribute a white paper this fall with recommendations on a defined plan of action and key messaging points in order to help facilitate a more united front on language education that can resonate with the public and elected officials.

The third weekend of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship saw the action move to the high speed Thruxton circuit and add more action to an already action packed, fever pitch season.
Coming to Thruxton, Andrew Jordan and Jason Plato were tied in the drivers championship lead and things would change after this event in the points table with three eventful races to come.
In Qualifying, Jordan took Pole Position from the works Honda Civic Tourer's of Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden. Mat Jackson qualified an impressive 4th in the Airwaves Focus, with the car now looking to be on front running pace. Tom Ingram carried on his amazing qualifying pace to net a best ever 5th position whilst the two MG6's of Jason Plato and Sam Tordoff were 6th and 7th respectively. Collard qualified 8th with Alain Menu 9th and Adam Morgan completing the top ten.
Race One saw Rob Collard make his usual lightning start to jump from 8th to 5th by the time they reached the complex. Mat Jackson too made a cracking start to be second by the time they were flying towards Church corner. He passed both the Honda's and set after Jordan who had kept the lead. Further back Menu passed Tordoff at Church for position as Jackson mounted an attack on Jordan for the lead coming into Club Chicane. Andy held him off, but it was a sign that the Airwaves Focus was fast again...
Jackson spent the next few laps hassling Jordan whilst the Honda's of Neal and Shedden stayed close. James Cole and Warren Scott clashed on lap 3 at Club whilst Chris Stockton in the BTC Racing Chevrolet Cruze had retired with mechanical issues. Cole's Toyota was written off at Donington and he was using a spare chassis provided by Speedworks Motorsport at Thruxton. They would be busy bunnies after the Thruxton weekend, but thats later on...
By lap 5, Jackson was falling back into the clutches of Neal and Shedden and was down to 4th by lap 8. Behind these guys was an epic scrap between Collard, Plato, Menu, Morgan and Turkington, who started 13th! Turkington passed Morgan on lap 9. Ingram meanwhile had fallen back down the order from his 5th place grid spot due to a bad set of tyre pressures. Plato pressured Collard in the late stages but that led to no avail.
The field stayed pretty static at that stage and it was Andrew Jordan who won the race on maximum ballast from the two Honda Civic Tourers of Neal and Shedden. Jackson took 4th from Collard and Plato with Menu, Turkington, Morgan and Tordoff completing the top ten places.
Race two saw Jordan lead from Shedden whilst Neal boxed in the fast starting Collard and Jackson held off Turkington, with the BMW's once again using their RWD starts to good effect. At the Complex Shedden made a bid for the lead and outbraked himself, allowing Collard to close on Jordan with Shedden now back in third. At the end of lap one Jordan led from Collard, Shedden, Jackson, Neal, Plato, Turkington, Menu, Morgan and Giovanardi, himself having made a few places on lap one.
Shedden closed down Collard for 2nd whilst Jordan built a gap. Menu was handed a Drive through penalty for being out of position at the start, something he was quite angry about later on, whilst further back Stockton retired from race two with further mechanical woes. Jack Goff had a good start, hassling Tordoff and Giovanardi as the Insignia got quicker and quicker. On lap 3, Shedden passed Collard for 2nd place and set after Jordan. On lap 6, Goff finally passed Tordoff and Giovanardi for 9th position after some hefty fighting. On lap 8, Neal passed Jackson for 4th in a very close side by side pass with Turkington in close company.
By lap 9 Shedden was hooked onto the tail of the Pirtek Civic and looking to take the race lead. Goff meanwhile had caught up to Plato and Morgan and set about trying to pass Morgan for 8th. Newsham lost it coming into Club Chicane on lap 10 and fell down the order. On lap 11, Shedden capitalised on a small error from Jordan and took the lead from there. Turkington spent most of the race hunting Jackson but the Focus was proving to be a match for the BMW in its newer faster guise.
On lap 15 there was contact between Foster and Austin at Church Corner with the BMW going backwards into the tyre barrier and then over it, whilst Austin managed to rejoin the track. Foster got out of the car ok and was soon back in the pits, but the incident brought out the red flags, stopping the race on lap 15.
Church Corner would claim a few more scalps later on in race three...
With the race red flagged, Shedden would go on to win the race from Jordan with Collard joining them on the podium in 3rd. Neal, Jackson and Turkington were 4th to 6th whilst Plato, Morgan, Goff and Giovanardi completed the top ten. To add to this Gio picked position 10 for the race three reversed pole position. This season its been agreed that whoever is 10th is race two picks the reverse grid draw and it worked out well for the Italian.
At the start, Gio led away with Turkington getting another rocket start, passing both Goff and Morgan before the Complex sequence of corners. At the Complex, there was contact between Collard and Morgan, sending the WIX Racing Mercedes into a slide, only for him to come back and make contact with Plato. Plato would retire with suspension damage. At Church, Turkington passed Gio for the lead and made a break for it ahead of the Airwaves Focus who had Goff and Collard in close company.
Behind them were Jackson, Jordan, Shedden, Neal, Rob Austin who made it up to 9th place and Tordoff suffering in 10th. Goff harried Gio over the next few laps, not afraid to hassle the former two time champion. Jackson began closing down on the both of them, however the safety car came out, with the first talking point of race three...
Now I've spent a few days scrutinising this one to make sure I get it right. Goff was going to pass Gio at Church, however both men saw the yellow flags and backed off. But at the next marshalling post after Church, the flag is green and Jackson took advantage of this by passing Goff before the next marshalling post at Club Chicane which had a yellow flag and SC Board out. So Jackson's move on Goff was done in a green sector of the course.
However the reason for the safety car was due to Ollie Jackson going off at Church and his car clearing the tyre barrier and hitting a tree. The tyre barrier itself taking a battering from the earlier incident with Nick Foster hitting it and going over it.
Racing resumed on lap 9 with Turkington leading from Gio and Jackson with Goff now 4th ahead of Collard, Jordan, Shedden and Neal, Morgan and Tordoff, with Aron Smith up to 11th after a torrid time in qualifying led to him having a big accident in the Team BMR VW Passat and starting from the back. Jordan attempted a pass on Collard which failed allowed the Civic Tourers to close on him and attack for position. Smith passed Tordoff for 10th on lap 9 also. Neal hassled Jordan as Jordan hassled Collard but then we had Safety Car No. 2...
Simon Belcher suffered a failure in the Handy Motorsport Toyota Avensis leading to it going straight on at Church Corner, hitting what was left of the tyre barrier and ploughing straight through it, going into a barrel role. He left the car OK but this meant a rapid rebuild of the tyre barrier and to further slow things down, double waved yellows at Church.
Turkington headed the field on lap 13 as the race got going again with the Airwaves duo of Gio and Jackson close behind. Jordan passed Collard at Club for 5th on lap 15, whilst Shedden passed Neal as they hunted Collard. Coming into Club Shedden touched the back of Collard's BMW, sending him up the escape road and back out ahead of the Honda's again. The pace of the Honda was quicker than the BMW and there would more to come...
Up ahead Jackson passed Gio for second and held up Goff, allowing Jordan and Collard to close on the Insignia and Jordan to pass him on the run to Church. Shedden passed Collard behind them and then passed Goff, under double waved yellows, at Church. The positions would be swapped after the race by the stewards. Goff then defended from Collard and Neal which led to more contact between the BMW and the Honda. Neal touched the back of Collard going through Allard, unsettling the BMW and allowing Neal to come alongside. Obviously fed up with being hit by Honda's, Collard then drove straight on as Neal tried to turn into the corner with the result being both cars going off.
This later resulted in Collard going and having a "polite chat" with Honda team and in my opinion, a fair right too...
On the last lap Jordan, Shedden and Goff attacked Gio for 3rd whilst Smith made it into 7th. But it would be Turkington who would hold on for the win ahead of Jackson, Gio, Jordan, Shedden, Goff, Smith, Morgan, Tordoff and Collard.
Race three was an action packed, incident strewn affair with questions a plenty raised about driving standards, marshall flags and the safety of Church Corner with social media exploding over the decisions taken. There were plenty of penalties and penalty points handed out and also a lot of work to do for both Welch Motorsport and Handy Motorsport as both teams look to rebuild their cars for the Oulton Park round in June. Hopefully we should also see the return of Robb Holland in his popular Oakley Racing Audi S3 and a full field, but time will tell...
As for the Church Corner debate, my thoughts on it are this. Put a triple layer tyre barrier in place and cut back some of the trees there. Dont put a gravel trap in as this will cause cars to barrel roll, making an accident bigger than it should be. Maybe even some run off tarmac to slow things down but again this is just a view, not a recommendation.
Next up is Oulton Park and for me and possibly many other fans, this meeting could be the biggest of the season. As well as the BTCC and its TOCA support package, the Super Touring Car Championship is holding two races over the Oulton weekend with the Sunday race broadcast live on Sunday!!! Live Super Tourers again!!! It reminds me of 1999 all over again... There are 29 cars entered with popular names including John Cleland and Patrick Watts taking part.
This is certain to be another exciting chapter in the 2014 BTCC Season as this year the International Circuit is used for the first time by the series since 1996. Back then Joachim Winkelhock dominated the weekend in the BMW 320is along with Rickard Rydell in his Volvo S40. However Oulton is traditionally a good circuit for both MG and BMW with Plato and Turkington needing big points in the championship to catch Jordan.
Oulton is going to be a cracker!!!

Win 7 Pro 64bit
Problem fixed
Well, I tried one other thing I was told to try and it worked.
I unplugged all USB devices from this box and then I powered down. Rebooted it, and powered down again, but this time while it was down I unplugged all the power from the box. According to one of the mods from ASUS the MB reset all the USB configs to zero. Now it reads all my SD cards, external drives, and otherwise works just fine. No more "yellow triangles" in the device manager or unknown devices. Maybe this could help some other person. I do hope so. This was bugging me to death. One thing though. Why does it say amd64 in the Architecture? As I said before that is pretty odd.
Good luck guys oh and have a great holiday and new year!
I seem to have a problem that has plagued some other Win7 users and I was hoping someone could give me some feed back. I have not seen the exact problem but similar.
I recently put a USB 3.0 PCI card in this box and added a WD My Book 3.0 1TB drive. I did a BIOS revision as well. I wasn't having any real problems but I did notice it going to sleep periodically. The drive is working but it isn't being recognized. I put a desktop icon of it on the desktop and if you click it NOTHING, you can only access it by going into "My Computer". These messages were after I did a scan.
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".Problem with PnP devices Detected (little yellow triangles)
There are problems with some PnP devices. Windows will take additional steps to further troubleshoot these devices.
Detection details
Windows Version: 6.1
Architecture: amd64 . (This is an Intel i7 chip whats up with that?)
Anyway. It shows the device in the control panels as a "Unknown Device" This sound familiar to any of you? I thought the "Architecture: amd64" was really odd since this is an Intel based chip and MB. Here is my hardware settup.
Computer x64-based PC
Hardware Information

An increasing number of men are opting to have cosmetic surgery, but for very different reasons than most women, new research has found. Figures compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show the number of non-invasive and surgical procedures being carried out on men are growing, the latter at a faster rate. But according to the Cosmetic Surgery Centre of Maryland, while women look to enhance their appearance through cosmetic procedures, most men choose to look better but not necessarily look drastically different.In a statement, the centre said: "The most popular surgical procedure for women (breast augmentation) helps women gain self-esteem by addition. "Men, on the other hand, tend to favour more subtle procedures that erase their perceived faults, thus gaining self-esteem through subtraction." The number of American men having facelifts increased by 14 per cent between 2009 and 2010, while male cosmetic treatments overall were up 2 per cent. The most popular procedures with male patients are facelifts, rhinoplasty, otoplasty (ear surgery) and liposuction, the centre said, all of which are designed to remove wrinkles, bumps or fat. The male attitude to surgery was likened to walking into a barber's shop and asking for "a little off the top".

And Of Course, There's Video Of Jason Russell's Nekkid Ass Nekkid Meltdown
March 16, 2012 / Posted by: Michael K
A couple of weeks ago your Facebook feed was probably covered with that KONY 2012 video and now I'm sure it's covered with this craziness right here. TMZ is on this shit and got a hold of a short clip of KONY 2012's director and Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell having a balls-out meltdown near SeaWorld. Unless dude's peen is a few feet long and he faps by pounding it against the sidewalk, I don't see any masturbation shit. Jason is currently in the hospital on a Code Cheetos (aka 5150 psychiatric hold) for obvious reasons.
If you didn't tell me this dude was having a naked King Kong breakdown, I'd probably just think it was a hippie doing naked yoga on a Thursday afternoon.
Our commenting rules are pretty simple: If you make any overly offensive comment (racist, bigoted, etc..) or go way off topic when not in an Open Post, your comments will be deleted and you will be banned.

I hadn't seen David Fincher's film Fight Club in several years when I stumbled upon it on tv this past weekend so I watched about half of it (it's easy so easy to get caught up in it) and I realized that if you ever need someone to yell out five seconds before Brad Pitt's butt-crack makes one of its several appearances in Fight Club, I am your man. I should do riff-tracks.
Anyway we're not talking about Brad Pitt's butt-crack (for once) this morning, we're talking about Eion Bailey, who's turning 40 today! Happy birthday, Eion! Our crush on Eion established itself long after we'd seen Fight Club -- in fact thanks to the blog I have kept for 11 years now I can pin-point The Moment I Fell For Eion Bailey down to the millisecond!
The post in question is titled, "Pleased To Meet You, Eion Bailey" and it shows that I fell for him thanks to a still of him in the movie The Canyon. That movie wasn't very good, but it brought me Eion so it holds a special place if not in my heart then at least a place connected to my heart by blood vessels.
Anyway, this scene! How's about this scene? Shirtless Eion Bailey shaving his head and most importantly stopping there and keeping everything below the neck good n' furry. The first and second rules of Fight Club might be you don't talk about Fight Club but the third or fourth one is probably "something something hyper-manliness something." (God this movie is so, so, so gay.)
Anyway if you're unfamiliar with Eion click through our Eion tag, you certainly won't be by the time you scan through our seven years of gratuitous posts on the hairy boy from California. And since Eion also has a good shirtless fighting scene in this movie that I have never capped before hit the jump for all of that...

OMAHA - With most financial advisors mired in "analysis paralysis," adding new business can be difficult.
Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet to add clients and assets, according to Peter Montoya, a marketing expert for the financial services industry, but he offered six effective marketing methods to develop new relationships.
Generate Client Referrals
Advisors attribute 40% of new business to client referrals, Montoya said at the Peak Advisor Alliance Excell Meeting in Omaha on Thursday. Referrals come in three flavors:
- Solicited Referrals: By asking clients for referrals, advisors will generate more clients.
- Promoted Referrals: A client has passed your name to another prospective client.
- Spontaneous Referrals: Without asking, a new client arrives at your door.
Spontaneous referrals are the holy grail for advisors. To generate more spontaneous referrals, Montoya said advisors have to do a better job of branding themselves, targeting specialized groups, personalizing their existing relationship, and always providing "world-class service."
Generate Professional Referrals
Generating great referrals from accountants, attorneys and other professionals cannot be accomplished simply with quarterly emails, Montoya said, because these relationships requires intimacy.
Montoya suggested advisors create a network of 14 professionals to meet with for one-on-one lunches at least four times annually.
"These lunches will illustrate that you, as an advisor, are competent and knowlegable professionals," he said. "But more importantly, they will begin to spread the word that you are a 'good guy' to work with."
Build Better Networks
It is critical for advisors to belong to community groups, Montoya said, but most advisors pick the wrong groups.
"The right group must contain your ideal client, but your heart also must be in the group," he said. "If you aren't passionate about the groups that you belong to, you will not generate referrals. ...People can see right through you if you are just there to sell products to them."
Advisors should belong to two to four networking groups, according to Montoya. He said clients are a direct reflection of an advisor's networks. "If you want to change your clients, you need to change your network," he said.
Develop an Effecitve Website and Social Media Strategy
Having a strong website and a good social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn are no longer a nice option; they are a necessity. A strong online presence gives advisors credibility, Montoya said.
"The first thing that your prospects do is search you out on Google," he said. "If they don't find you, they move on to the next advisor in a nanosecond. ... If you are not smart enough to have a website and a social media presence, they you are NOT a legitimate company. . Five years ago, maybe social media was for kids, but that has changed."
Montoya added, "maybe your current client are not on social media, but their kids are, your future clients are."
Social media is a critical client maintenance tool, Montoya said. He said Facebook is an excellent tool to follow clients and track their "successes and failures and provide congratulations and sympathies."
Advisors should be careful about what they post, he said, avoiding topics including sex, religion and politics, and writing more about friends, family and travel and providing interesting and relevant information for clients. "Facebook is not about posting, it is about listening," he said.
Maintaining an effective website is simple, Montoya said. A good website should provide an explanation of what an advisor does, simple personnel information and a brief description of products and services.
"You website should be of the highest quality and provide basic information rather than tons of content with low quality," he said.
Build Better Client Events
Advisors need to create social and educational events that will engage clients and friends of clients.
Montoya said the best client events are specific to your clients.
"The two reasons that people don't show up to your client events are simple," he said, "either your events are boring or you lack the 'friendship factor.'"
Montoya said if advisors increase contact with clients, they will show up to events. He suggested advisors host events on a quarterly basis.
Create Effective Client and Prospect Communications
Montoya said the average advisor sends about four email and direct marketing campaigns to clients annually. He suggested advisors need to increase that communication to a minimum of 12 annually, or as many as 60 to 100 annually.
Montoya said effective, weekly communications, whether that be a weekly commentary or a market update, will generate good referrals.
"To maintain a good relationship, it is critical to begin a good drip campaign," he said.
Montoya said a strong marketing strategy is not expensive and within six months to a year, advisors will begin to reap the benefits.

Following bankruptcy proceedings over at Coda Automotive, we can't say we're surprised by talk of a WARN Act lawsuit. After all, US Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification (WARN) Act proceedings were taken against Fisker Automotive in April. So we kind of know the drill.
The WARN Act's purpose is to give workers and their families "some transition time to adjust to the prospective loss of employment, to seek and obtain other jobs, and, if necessary, to enter skill training or retraining that will allow these workers to compete successfully in the job market."
In Coda's case, a lawsuit was filed by former employee Tony Bulchack, and alleges that the mass layoffs that took place in December 2012 happened without giving the 125 workers laid off then the required 60-day notices. Discussions of a WARN act lawsuit against Coda has been in the works for a while over at Girard Gibbs law firm as well. Bulchack's complaint is embedded below.
Coda announced two weeks ago that it will no longer sell electric vehicles and will instead restructure as an energy storage business.

Health Information
What Are the Chances of Having an STD?
If people are sexually active and not using condoms, what is the possibility of them having a disease?
– Kamyra*
Unfortunately, it's quite likely. People who have sex without using condoms are at high risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
It doesn't matter how many people the person has had sex with. Even if someone has only had one sexual partner, that partner could have a disease. Of course, the chances of getting STDs (also called sexually transmitted infections, or STIs) are even higher if a person has unprotected sex with lots of different partners.
Many people who have STDs do not have obvious signs or symptoms. Because of this, they may believe they're "clean" and tell partners there's no need to use a condom. But that's not safe. For example, about 6 out of 10 young people with HIV don't know they're infected. So they risk passing the virus, which causes AIDS, on to others.
Even getting treatment isn't a completely foolproof way to stop STDs from spreading. Some STDs (like trichomoniasis) can be treated so they go away, but other infections (like herpes or HPV) will always be in a person's body, even if that person has been treated. Plus, if someone has been treated for an STD like chlamydia and it goes away, that same person can still get re-infected if exposed to the STD another time.
Anyone who is planning to have sex, or who has had sex, should be tested for STDs. And always use condoms for protection — every time.

With venture capital waning as a source of start-up funds for small business, a new type of financier has stepped into the gap – the "super angel."
These investors have deep pockets and a willingness to provide material support and professional knowledge to start-ups or new companies with good business ideas. They operate on a smaller scale than traditional venture capitalists, but on a larger scale than the more traditional "angels," who usually invest in a handful of companies.
Super angels typically invest several million dollars, spread over 20 or more companies, providing each with $50,000 to $500,000. Often they invest in online startups, which typically require less capital than more traditional business ideas. And while a typical angel investor works full-time on something else, super angels tend to dedicate 100 per cent of their time to their investments.
These new angels are becoming more important to business investment as other funding sources dry up, said Mike Volker, an angel investor and director of Simon Fraser University's Industry Liaison Office in Burnaby, B.C.
"There is hardly any venture capital around and it's a dying industry. Institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals are not investing in venture capital [because]the returns are dismal," Mr. Volker said. But because the super-investor strategy ensures more diversified risks and returns, "I see this approach getting bigger and more organized," he said.
Boris Wertz, who uses capital and experience gained from previous businesses to invest in the next Big Idea, is one such super angel.
As the Vancouver-based chief operating officer of AbeBooks.com, an online marketplace for used, rare and out-of-print books, which was sold to Amazon in 2008, Dr. Wertz decided his future career should be tied to fostering entrepreneurship in others, particularly those just starting out.
"My co-running [AbeBooks.com]… that had about $35-million in revenues and 140 people worldwide, was a very good experience for me. I had done angel investing on a small scale but about three years ago, I decided I wanted to do it full-time and invest more money."
Dr. Wertz has picked up 20 investments in three years, all early stage, consumer Internet companies in the Pacific Northwest. He has invested between $50,000 and $250,000 in each, for a total of $2-million to $3-million, garnering a personal stake of three to 15 per cent in each.
Bryan Watson, executive director of The National Angel Capital Organization, an independent non-profit association that supports angel investor groups across Canada and recommends best practices, said it is difficult to know exactly how many Canadian angel investors could be considered super angels.
The trend is better established in the U.S. particularly in Silicon Valley, where super angels first emerged, financing online ventures such as Twitter and Facebook.
"I can think of 10 to 15 who are out there across the country as individuals and are fairly well known, but in Canada [the phenomenon]is at an early stage," he said.
Some super angels use their personal brand and high public profile to attract potential investments, Mr. Watson said, while others prefer to fly under the radar to avoid being bombarded by would-be entrepreneurs. The latter often join angel investment groups so they can be relatively anonymous and still hear about likely investments.
The National Angel Capital Organization, for instance, receives "a lot of pitches of varying quality," Mr. Watson said, the best of which are sent on to such groups around the country.
Dr. Wertz said there are plenty of opportunities, but finding the right fit for his experience and ambitions is the most important thing.
"You need to be selective about it. Stick to an industry you really understand, and pick companies close to home – coaching over the phone is a tough one. You want to see them in person as often as possible."
What excites him about the online industry is the speed with which Internet companies can develop, taking months instead of years to get up and running, obtain feedback, tweak product lines, and learn whether or not the idea is working.
"I am trying to be very active with these companies, help them grow. I sit on the board, meet the entrepreneurs weekly and help them wherever they need help – on the market side, the product side, raising another round of financing, hiring people," he said.
Mr. Volker said he's frustrated by the fact that the media and public tend to focus on traditional venture capital, when that is "just a fraction of what is being invested." Noting a recent white paper on the green tech sector cited a lack of venture capital, he said, "that's a really stupid conclusion because there is so much capital [available from super angels and others]"

In September 2016, I decided to walk the Camino Portugues from Porto to Santiago, a distance of about 300 km. It was a great experience, and I dreamed about the Camino every night for 6 weeks afterwards. I took that as a sign that more Camino was in order.
My son Paul and I began a 6-week training program of twice weekly hikes, starting at 16 km (10 miles) to 32 km (20 miles) in length. We had assumed that our shoes would be broken in and blisters sorted by the end of training. That was not the case - real Camino walking on a wider variety of surfaces, including cobblestones and Roman roads, generated blisters in new places.
We planned for the trip using The Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino Portugues by John Brierley (8th edition, 2016). While it provides invaluable information, the directions are not always crystal clear no matter which version of English you speak or understand.
We both had Google Fi smartphones, so weren't worried about phone and web connectivity. I used the Geo Tracker (geo-tracker.org) application as we walked and to generate the map/track photos on these web pages. I found the 30-second update mode to be a bit unreliable; the 1-second mode provided more accurate and complete tracks.
In May 2017, we returned to Portugal to walk the route from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela, a distance of about 405 miles (more than 650 kilometers). Our daily itinerary and log is summarized in the following table:

How do you know when you are being 'had'(27 Posts)
Dd (11) hurt her wrist a few years ago and had an X-ray. Now every little bump she is adamant she needs to go to minor injuries 8)
Tuesday afternoon her wrist gave way during a hand stand and she fell heavily on her shoulder. When I got there she had spent 40 minutes with ice pack on it.
We had the usual insistence that she had to go and when I tried to get her to move it she said she could not move it AT ALL because if the pain.
So we set off, as soon as we are in the car she is chatting and laughing with her brother- when I pointed this out she said she was putting a brave face on it. So it is of course soft tissue damage and funnily enough she had the full range of movement when the nurse tried. Sling given for support and calpol suggested
Yesterday morning she showed no sign of pain so I sent her to school- dh went to an assembly and she was in tears so he took some calpol in. When I picked her up her teacher said she seemed ok when distracted from it.
Last night I had to work at home during evening and she said it hurt so I gave calpol and she went on and on about needing an X-ray - she sat and wrote notes to no- one in particular saying 'please help me I need an X-ray'
At 10:00pm she was sobbing in bed saying it hurt so much- so we went back to minor injuries who gave a more supportive sling and said piggy back nurofen with calpol for inflammation
Oh and as soon as we got in the car there were no more tears and she started chatting about school
I decide if she needs that much medication then she can't go to school - so at 11:00 last night I had to contact colleagues to arrange for someone to cover my work. Some poor bastard will have a shit day today doing something they picked up at last minute and have not prepared.
My children obviously come first and normally I would not worry BUT this morning she announced she had NO pain whatsoever and could she go to school. When I said no she asked if she could play on the wii.
Work have sent me work to do at home and she will be doing SATS revision but I feel so crap that I may have put someone in a terrible position when perhaps not strictly necessary.
So sorry for length but I am pretty upset and would welcome any advice/ criticism/ suggestions on how to handle it differently
Well firstly I will share my own DD's habits re. illness. She's MASSIVELY dramatic. So a sore throat is a DISASTER and it's AGONY!!! However I know that ithin half an hour of my giving her a day off, she's running round laughing.
She gets a bit nauseous and she's DYING FROM IT!!! Your DD sounds similar...
I use my instinct OP....if you suspect DD is ok then she is...99% of the time you will be correct.
An injured shoulder isn't enough to stay off school with anyway....also she's 11 now and doesn't have to have calpol. She can have one paracetamol. I give my 8 year old that as it works better.
Not good for the work colleague you have landed in it. This is why some working with mothers can be a complete pain. Does your colleague think it reasonable to have this dumped on them because your DD has another wobbly? Does everyone have to carry you because you so wonderfully put DD first even though this is so trivial?
Am-dram children
I usually invent a wii/x-box competition or a trip to the park that we'll be "doing tomorrow if you're feeling better". That usually sorts out any 'hamming it up' quick smart.
Unless it's a chicken pox type illness time off school is always spent in bed. Either mine, with the telly or theirs with a book. No playing exciting stuff. Ill enough to be off school, ill enough for bed.
To be honest I can usually tell if they're having me at it and act accordingly
Perhaps you could divert her fascination with hospitals into more constructive channels? Maybe she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Or a radiologist?
I would also strongly recommend toughening up on what she is allowed to do if off school for medical reasons. DS has to stay in bed, is on very dull invalid food, and the only permitted entertainment is reading. We still get the occasional bid for a day off school, but at least I am fairly sure that when it happens he really, really needs a quiet day!
Rosh I don't know what your beef with working mothers is but this is the third time in 11 years I have had to put a colleague in this position and I did the same for someone who could not come in when their dog died.
I am fortunate enough to work in a supportive team where we carry each other. The person who I carried most often was someone without children who never managed to get through her workload. So not just a working mother issue thank you.
I will not apologise for putting my children before my job.
Thanks for the tips never say die and ankle.
Neo I will try the paracetamol instead of calpol thanks
Rosh, can I just point out to you that it is equally possible and likely that a working DAD might also have to take the day off like this....
As my dh does more often than me ExBrighton. Thank you.
Equally likely? Really?
Rosh do you have children? If not I suggest you don't come on a PARENTING forum and rip the piss out of us. It's not on and you know nothing of modern parenting either by the sound of it. In my children's school the school runs are about 50-50 Mums and Dads.
Yes I do and maybe you could think about your impact on colleagues when other people have to pick up the pieces and are supposed to understand when some trivial thing like this is going on. Genuine emergencies are one thing but this was clearly not in that category and her colleague was left, she says, in a terrible position. You are being defensive but think about it. This sort of behaviour does not help working mothers, although she has said in a later post it was not habitual. School runs might be 50-50 mums and dads, that's not the same thing.
Well since I work for myself...no. I don't actually.
Rosh, you are not very helpful and seem to have an axe to grind...
OP, it is a hard call, and sometimes as a parent one gets it wrong. I agree with the poster who says make sick days boring.
So, my DS is staying home today as he threw up three times yesterday evening. He may be feeling better today, or may not, eitehr way he is likely to want to stay home.
So, he can, but no TV, no ipod, just staying in bed, maybe reading. Plain food, no treats. You cannot make being poorly too much fun.
In your situation, don't fret. We all get it wrong sometimes. Last time I was being all tough, I had a call from the school at 9:15 saying DS had been sick. Sometimes you just don't know.
Buy the work colleague(s) a nice bottle of wine.
DD has done the Amdrama "I think it's broken again!" thing since she broke her arm, too!! She is also 11. Broke it 3 months ago. Is it the age?
I have broken my own arms 3x and I tend to know the difference between bruising & broken. I completely ignore her. Last incident involved her lying postrate on dining room floor wailing for at least 10 minutes.
Here's a secret: you can wait at least 24 hours after a broken arm before treating it unless it's so bad that you yourself can see it needs immediate attention (imagine a compound fraction, fingers pointing at right angles from rest of arm, etc.) So I suggest do your best to ignore in future and tell her you'll try to remember to ask her about it later.
Oh, and hype up all the stuff she'll miss out on if it's broken again. Mine loves sport & swimming especially.
Sometimes MN teaches me that I am wildly soft, other times I am very hard.
Lots of other broken arms among DD's peer group; DD is the only kid I know who went straight back to school post fracture. We didn't leave clinic until 2:40pm or I would have returned her to school same day, even. I went straight back to work or changing nappies when I broke my arm as an adult, don't see why being a kid gives time off. Most the other children with broken arms have had days, up to a week even, off school afterwards. I wouldn't allow time off unless my child was shrieking in pain non-stop or had to stay in hospital or the doctors actually said "Too risky to send her to school."
It's partually knowing your dc.
If dd1 was crying in pain, I would be back at the Dr. very quickly. Because she's more likely to be telling me it didn't really hurt when it did.
If dd2 was crying in pain, I'd, unless there was other evidence, give her a dose of calpol and send her in.
Because she likes to milk any injury, real or imaginary, so if she's crying and saying it's painful, it probably is her making the most. If I was told that she was fine when distracted, I would be certain it was her making the most.
It is notable that dd1 went all through juniors without me even knowning there was a medical room. Dd2 frequently comes back clutching a sick bag or with a "bumped my head" sticker. I don't think she is more ill than dd1, just likes the attention that goes with it, whereas dd1 hates that sort of attention.
I wouldn't be taking them to be checked out unless it was obviously broken, causing pain over a period of time including stopping them from sleeping, swollen, clearly non functioning after they have got over the initial shock of the accident. I've not missed a real injury yet.
You might like to tell her that too many x-rays can cause other issues, so they won't do them unless they have to.
Thanks for the replies - all helpful!
I do think we need to break the 'its hurt I need to see someone cycle' so the 24 hours thing is a good idea- thanks for that.
Funnily enough her dad thought she should stay off today and he is way harder than me! I have sent her in- I am not at work today so can get her in 5 minutes if necessary.
Thanks again for the views
Oh and to Rosh - I have just remembers one of the three occasions was because I had a migraine, not child related, so this is second time in 11 years with two children.
I still am not sure whether the day off was not fully justified - she did seem to be very sore all down her arm- when I wrenched the muscles in my leg the first few days were extremely painful.
Dewe- we did have the X-ray conversation - she then started panicking about the two she has had, so that may have done the trick on that score!
Understanding kids is very difficult. I would also say, just like already said by a poster in the thread, make the off days boring- no TV and no treats. This would discourage the kids from stying at home.
right- next issue
dd has horse riding tonight, basically she has not had any painkillers or even mentioned her arm since the weekend- and was playing on a swing on Saturday and has done PE
I have explained to her the risk that if her arm isnt fully healed and it is aggravated during the lesson then there is a risk of not riding for a few weeks
I said only she can say how it feels- she said she wants to go
also she helps out at the stables all day on Saturdays- I have said if arm hurts don't go at all if not go for a half day to ease yourself into it
dh has tried to tell her not to go tonight and that she should not go at all tomorrow
he has cited SATS as the reason they start next week
now my view is that she has to learn to make these judgment calls herself and in any event it may be better to do something to distract herself- she has done at least 30 mins revision homework every day this week
am I being a little influenced by
a) I don't agree with SATS and therefore do not want her put under undue pressure and therefore do not take them seriously
b) I am not convinced of the severity of the injury in the first place
am I being unreasonable and careless with my daughter's health?
The joys of parenthood! I'm not medical so bottom line was, "If in doubt check it out". My friends who were in that line of work incidentally were the hardest hearted and most sceptical.
I found a good tactic was "Oh well that's a shame you were so looking forward to {X} and now you'll miss it".
Whether or not you agree with SATS your DD has been pulling your puppet strings and you either allow her freedom to 'make judgment calls' re: revision/pastimes/health matters or you exercise your best judgment and teach her with freedom comes responsibility. As she matures she gets to be more independent but you show her actions have consequences.
Have been a SAHM so did that make me a soft touch, no, when it came to swinging the lead I was brusque and firm. As they start high school our DCs are back to being tiny fish in a big pond. They might swagger at home a bit and there'll be a broader range of peers to emulate so a bumper crop of fresh challenges.
Now is the time to step up a gear and figure out an ostensibly 'hands-off' yet subtly supportive parental safety net.
As she hasn't mentioned it, I'd assume it was fine.
If she'd still been moaning about it, then I'd have told her she couldn't go. Helping her next time to decide whether it was worth moaning about it, if she then had to miss things she enjoyed.
Thank you Donkey and DeWe
It's funny isn't how you think it is tough when they are babies/ toddlers/ pre-school and then the challenges just become different.

As a San Diego native, spending time at the beach is a necessary part of my DNA ;). So I am loving this Bright & Beachy Surfing Birthday Party from Maria Olivia Campos of Invento Festa! Beautifully styled with bright patterns & colors, cheerful sea creature decorated desserts and an awesome surfer topped ombre ocean birthday cake (masterfully created by Maria's team), this party is teeming with shore inspiration! Now all I want to know is, which way's the beach?
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
- Octopus & seashell topped chocolate brigadeiros + flip flop chocolate pops & chocolate sand pails
- Sandy beach & drink umbrella topped cupcakes with fondant sun & crabs + candy filled beach buckets
- Shark fin topped candy jars, potted succulents & a sugar covered, fondant sculpted sand castle
- Blue chevron backdrop & paper decor, a vintage surfer's van + beachy tote bag party favors
PARTY DETAILS as told by Maria…
Diego is a little boy who loves the beach and surfing, so we made this colorful dessert table to celebrate his third birthday. I used bright colors like green, light blue, orange and navy blue for contrast. All the elements of a sunny day at the beach were created into desserts on the table. My favorite items were the chevron backdrop, the cute cake, the brigadeiros (chocolate bon bons), "sunscreen tubes" and all of the beautiful (and delicious) sweets displayed all around.

Apologize, Apologize!Book - 2010
From the critics

Apologize, apologize by Elizabeth Kelly
This book is filled with the most outrageous characters and their verbal fencing is hilarious. ( If I wasn't allergic to birds I'd become a pigeon coach). Although it is quite funny it also has its dark side . I went into this book thinking it would all be just one laugh but tragedy shows up and the characters all have to deal with it in their own way. I found it a little hard going after that but I still enjoyed it and would recommend it .There is redemption lots of dogs, and pigeons.
A gem! It makes every other dysfunctional family one has read about. The author's style keeps the reader turning the pages. It is possible to have sympathy for Collie. When one, like Collie, grows up surrounded such strong and self-center personalities stronger than he it is easy to fall into a state of self pity. In the end one is not sure whether it is better to shake him while telling him to grow-up or feel sympathy for him and his life in life.
This book is a gem....beautiful marriage of top-of-the-line writing and out-loud laughter. Characters are outrageously preposterous which makes them maddenly but happily out of reach.Elizabeth Kelly is a first-rate writer.
