Study looks at cholesterol Rx publicity
Voluminous press coverage over cholesterol drug safety has led to a study measuring consumer perception. "Impact of Publicity on Consumer Perceptions and Actions in the Cholesterol Medication Category," by Phoenix Marketing International, surveyed 601 high cholesterol sufferers; 75% taking meds.
The study found that heightened publicity awareness led to "triple the number of consumers…asking to switch medications if they are aware of the publicity," according to an executive summary. "The most remembered topics [among participants] questioned the benefits of lowering cholesterol as well as the efficacy of available medications in general," said Beth Allen, EVP, marketing sciences at Phoenix. "The one topic that caused the most people to want to stop their medications or switch was about executives keeping bad news hidden. These findings suggest that people who need to medically control their cholesterol may be losing their trust in the pharmaceutical industry, their medications and need to treat this life-threatening disease."
Reports on Vytorin, Zetia and the ENHANCE trials were followed by criticism about Pfizer's marketing of Lipitor.

Wget is basically a computer program that gets content from the servers present on the World Wide Web allowing the user to perform download of files. The program served as the link for filling the gap between web-downloading means present in the mid of 90s as there was not a single program for performing the reliable download on the system from the HTTP and FTP. Wget provided the desktop users a means of performing the download of files of various contents without thinking of the several factors that might trouble the downloading process.
The Wget aids the download to be robust allowing the download process to be restart if it becomes incomplete due to network problem. Through it you can retrieve the download and start from where it stopped due to network problem. It also performs the download repeatedly till all the pages are downloaded to the depth wanted by the user and allowing to get the full directory to be there as needed. There are some tips and tricks that can be done through Wget commands which make the old school program more entertaining and useful than our thoughts. We have listed some Wget command tutorial aiding you to utilizing the commands for your purpose ad as you want to.
Do Check This Too: How to sort and order notifications in Notification Center on iPhone & iPad
Wget Commands Tutorial:
- Downloading a file and saving it on disk with a different name: wget ‐‐output-document=filename.html sitename.com
- Resuming the download interrupted by Wget: wget ‐‐continue sitename.com/file.iso
- Performing the download of a number of URLs through Wget: wget ‐‐input list-of-file-urls.txt
- Download the MP3 collections from the website: wget ‐‐level=1 ‐‐recursive ‐‐no-parent ‐‐accept mp3,MP3 http://sitename.com/mp3/
- Download files from a password protected sites: wget ‐‐http-user=techraze ‐‐http-password=hello123 http://sitename.com/secret/file.zip

The first day of spring means tax day is coming! In case you weren't aware, tax day is only four weeks away! The tax deadline for 2016 is April 18th, 2016. Most people assume that April 15th must fall on a weekend since the deadline is after the 15th. Actually, tax day is postponed because April 15th, 2016 is Emancipation Day in Washington DC only. Yes, a holiday in a city with only 0.000000313 percent of the country's population delays the tax filing deadline for the entire country from Friday until Monday. https://www.irs.com/articles/tax-deadline-alert-2015-tax-returns-are-due-april-18-2016
Even with the tax deadline extension this year, there's only 4 weeks left to file your personal tax return or your partnership (form 1065) tax return. One of the most common reasons I hear people say they are not filing yet is because they are going to owe a balance. If you've paid enough estimated taxes through quarterly estimates or paycheck withholding you don't have to pay the final balance due until April 18th no matter when you file your taxes. You can file on January 31st, but still not send the check in until April 18th. The check doesn't even have to arrive before the 18th, it just needs to be postmarked by then!
What if you aren't going to be ready to file your taxes by April 18th? What do you do then? File an extension! You can file an extension at any time and you don't have to wait until mid April to file it. File it now and get it out of the way. When you file the extension, you need to pay the balance due on your taxes. An extension extends the time you have to file a return, it does NOT extend the deadline to pay the taxes due. If you're not sure, make a reasonable estimate. Your CPA can help you with this based on the documents you do have as well as what your tax situation was last year.

It was a pitchers duel in the opening round of the All 'A' Tournament Thursday between Carroll and Trimble. The Panthers held a 1-0 lead for most of the game, adding an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth. The Raiders plated a run in the top of the sixth and had a runner in scoring position in the top of the seventh, but were not able to capitalize, as the Panthers won, 2-1.
Carroll's Zakk Hicks struck out 13 batters on 114 pitches, while Trimble's Michael Dunaway struck out 11 batters.

The Trimble County Lady Raiders appeared to have their backs to the wall in the softball season opener against Owen County last Wednesday. With their team own 8-0 after an inning-and-a-half of play, Trimble fans were starting to get the sinking feeling that this game might be over with pretty quickly.

An early injury to a key player and an inability to convert at the free throw line cost the Trimble County Lady Raiders a chance at victory in their final regular season game Friday. Nelson County came away with a 57-53 win, boosting their season record to 20-5. Trimble's season record slipped to 16-9.

Kind, caring, team player, dedicated, excellent skills, and a strong Christian are only a few of David Marsh's outstanding qualities. One of his accomplishments in 2014-2015 was being first team All-District in high school football. He has recently signed with Georgetown College to play football at the next level in 2015-2016. His contributions to the TCHS football team have been phenomenal and he will be greatly missed.

She started the series in 2011 after becoming frustrated at not being able to take her children to the sort of quality classical music concerts that she regularly enjoyed as a professional musician. In her own words: "And then I thought, this is silly: why not play for him and his friends and other babies and toddlers, at a kid-friendly time? The idea grew from there." The first concerts started in London and the series has now grown and spread across the UK. You can find out more about Miaomiao here.

Removing the blinders: Lessons from abroadMarch 27, 2013
Sometimes I wonder if it's human nature - and business nature - to be suspicious of others. To be wary of learning from others because of our "uniqueness." As businesses, we have a tendency to look at others in our market and point out the things that they do that wouldn't work for us, instead of finding the points of intersectio

In Defense of Poetry
We've seen countless news stories and blog posts about the importance of improving science and mathematics instruction in our country. We've argued about the emphasis within the Common Core State Standards on complex, informational text. Here at Catapult Learning, we've built professional development programs to help teachers enhance literacy instruction in science and social studies. Everywhere you look, people are up in arms about our need to better prepare students for a complex, technological world.
I have no argument with any of this. I think it's all correct, all on-target, and all necessary. And yet . . . I think we're missing something.
We definitely need to help our students handle a wealth of concepts and content across all subject areas. But the place where many students have trouble is the grey area where facts are contradictory or confusing—where meaning isn't quite clear, or shifts from moment to moment—where the truth of the matter lies not in "this or that," but in "both things at the same time." Why do we have so much trouble with this?
Because we don't teach enough poetry.
I know, it's a radical proposition. It's ridiculous. Poetry barely makes an appearance in the Common Core standards. It's laughable—it's esoteric—it's a relic of an earlier, gently humanistic world. You don't need poetry to get an MBA, write a legal brief, develop the next generation of massively-multi-player games, or design a higher-capacity car battery. So who needs it? We do.
Why Poetry Matters
Poetry lives and thrives in the grey area of ambiguity—the place of always becoming but never quite being. That's what it does best. It hints; it suggests; it insinuates, often without resolving into anything concrete. Whether it rhymes or scans or just dumps words onto a page, what makes poetry poetry is its ability to hover in a place where things can be and not-be, both at the same time.
Take a look at this stanza from E.E. Cummings:
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
Look at lines 2, 3, and 4. Notice how they suggest two sentences without quite settling down into one or the other. If this were prose, it would say, "Who pays any attention to the syntax of things?" Or it would say, "The syntax of things will never wholly kiss you." Cummings jams the two sentences together, with "the syntax of things" as the pivot of the seesaw. It's both ideas at once; it's neither idea absolutely. It lives in a weird limbo of thought that you can't quite pin down. That's what poetry can do.
If you don't grow up with a facility for understanding how words can do this, you may find poetry irritating, as my 9th grade students did years ago, when I tried to teach this poem. My students were maddeningly literal—and not just about poetry. No matter what we were discussing, they wanted to know: What does it mean? Is it this or that? It must be this or that! Everything had one meaning—one answer—only. And it was my job to hand it to them.
The inability to handle ambiguity carries over into prose, of course. Poetry is a great place to learn it, but great writers make use of it everywhere. I remember teaching a Ray Bradbury story called "The Dragon," in which two knights in armor prepare to battle a terrible dragon. The dragon they describe breathes fire, has one horrible, yellow eye, is impervious to knives or spears, and travels the same path between two towns every night, mowing down anything in its path. In the final moment of the story (spoiler alert), as the knights attack the monster, the scene switches perspective, and we see two engineers on a train, mystified at the apparition they've just seen. Two knights in armor! They came out of nowhere. It happens every night. So weird.
"Ahhhh," good readers say. The dragon is a train. The train is a dragon. Cool! But my students did not say, "Cool!" They didn't get it.
I read the story to them again. They still didn't get it.
I listed the attributes of the dragon and the attributes of a train, side by side, on the board. Now they kind of got it. But they wanted to know: "Was it really a dragon or was it really a train?"
My answer was, "Yes." They were not amused.
They weren't stupid kids; they just couldn't process the idea that a thing could be two things at once—that it could exist in a strange netherworld of sort-of-being where both things (and neither thing) were true. There may be different perspectives, different points of view, but one of them always had to be "true."
I think that's a very limiting way to see the world. And it's not just a Humanities issue. Our inability to hold two contradictory ideas in our minds keeps us from grappling with the world in all of its confusing, ambiguous mess. Our belief that all things have clear explanations and definitions that are absolute and exclude all other explanations or definitions makes us partisans on every topic of discussion, from education to climate change to religion to science. There are always two sides, and your side is always the right side, and the other side is always the enemy. It's a terribly reductive and simple-minded way to see our infinitely complex and strange world.
The push to bring more primary source text into our science and social studies classes—to rely less on textbook syntheses and summaries—is motivated by exactly this understanding that students need to analyze competing and contradictory points of view, to learn how to compare, assess, and, ultimately, deal with areas where a single, simple solution is not reachable. But if we, as their teachers, do not have a facility for dealing with ambiguity—if we are not comfortable living in the grey areas—then we are going to be ill-equipped to help our students navigate these texts. They will be saying, "But what's the answer?" And we will feel compelled to give them one.
Against a Flat World
Of course, poetry and metaphor deal with much more than just contradiction or ambiguity. Metaphor is about association and resonance and connectivity. The snow is a blanket upon the earth. The blanket keeps me toasty warm. Toast is . . . well, maybe toast is just toast. But you get my point: metaphor creates connections and resonances among the things of the world. It catches us up in a net of relationships. It makes the world vibrate: touch one string, and another hums along. Where there is no metaphor, though, nothing is like anything else, and nothing reverberates. The world just is—a jumble of discrete objects on a lonely plane of thing-ness.
When the world is reduced to discrete things, the only logical response to imagery is to accept it as factually true or reject it as nonsense. Either the thing is a dragon, or it's a train. End of story. And sorry, Ferdinand, those are not pearls that were his eyes. They're just eyes. The "sea change into something rich and strange" is . . . not.
On the plane of thing-ness, this approach makes sense. But the third option, beyond true and false, is vitally important. There is truth in poetry that's of a completely different nature than the factual truth of journalism or history. When we see the snow asa blanket upon the earth, we think of winter differently: we catch the importance of that period of the growing cycle; we feel what it means to slumber, to hibernate, to wait in the warm, dark place for spring to come. We know something that's beyond mere facts.
Our inability to understand imagery and metaphor makes it difficult for us to use imagery and metaphor to construct meaning. We risk losing the power of the stories that form the foundation of our culture. Modern monotheists will lose a lot if they simply dismiss ancient Greek mythology as nonsense. You don't have to believe in the literal truth of the pantheon of gods to learn something vital and true about the forces that drive human behavior. Atheists and agnostics will lose a lot if they throw out the Bible as being "un-true." There is profound truth and wisdom in the Exodus story, whether it happened historically or not. In fact, if you spend your days arguing about whether or not the Red Sea could have parted, you miss the whole point of the story.
To become free, the Israelites must cross a threshold that cannot be re-crossed. When the sea closes behind them, they are forever severed from Egypt. They can only move forward. Why is that important? Because almost immediately, the Israelites start whining about how hard it is to be free, and how much they'd like to go back. In fact, the entire slave generation has to wander in the desert and die out before their children can be considered "free" and worthy of entering the Promised Land. There is wisdom in this imagery—wisdom that our political scientists and pundits could learn, whether they believed in the literal truth of the story of not. What might they discover? That overthrowing or escaping a despot does not, by itself, make a people free. That without time and safe distance to learn freedom, people return to despotism. That in all times of profound change, people yearn for the old things they knew and understood—even if they didn't like them very much. You can say all of that factually, but the image of the sea closing behind the Israelites and the desert opening before them says it so much more powerfully.
Sometimes poetry tells us that there is no answer. And that's fine, too. Sometimes, describing the mess accurately is the best thing we can do. "Describing the mess," is how Samuel Beckett once defined his job, when asked what his strange plays were all about. But he described the mess in ways no one before or since has managed. There are moments in "Waiting for Godot" that speak truth to me far more profoundly than what I've found in philosophy books.
So listen. I'm all for better math and science education. I'm all for historical literacy. But we live in a world that can be oppressively fact-filled. Knowing the structure and architecture of a thing is not fully knowing it. There are thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird, not just one. There is more to life than "the syntax of things," as Cummings called it. It's important to gather ye rosebuds while ye may. It's important to hear your being dance from ear to ear. We're not here for all that long, and there is so much—so much—to learn.
After all, as Cummings says at the end of his poem, "Life's not a paragraph / And death i think is no parenthesis."

Important Information
With so many mortgages to choose from, the best way of finding the most competitive rate for you, is to speak with a mortgage broker to get the best possible advice to suit your own personal circumstances.
Our Sales Advisors can arrange for you to speak with one of our nominated mortgage brokers, who specialise in new build mortgage products and have access to exclusive products that are not available on the high street.
Typical Interest Rates
Lenders review their products on a regular basis. However, to give you some very rough guidance, if you are a buyer with 30% deposit, rates range from 2% - 3%. If you have 20% deposit, rates range from 2.95% - 4% and if you have up to 10% deposit, rates range from 4.19% to 4.39%.
It is recommended that Help to Buy purchasers consult a mortgage broker or lender directly for information regarding the latest interest rates available.
*An Interest Only mortgage must be backed by an adequate investment vehicle (e.g. Endowments, ISA, Pension etc.) to ensure that the mortgage debt is repaid at the end of the mortgage.

Johnson added, "It's BIG. Me and bud @ZacEfron been talkin' bout this one for a long time. And someone get my baby oil."

Sonia Rapaport
Sonia Rapaport, MD, is a family physician and director of Haven Medical, a listening-based medical practice in Chapel Hill, NC. Board certified in both family medicine and in integrative and holistic medicine, she blends the best of conventional and complementary modalities to address the cause of symptoms. Dr. Rapaport's specialty is the holistic evaluation and treatment of individuals with complex, multisystem illnesses as she helps them towards the goal of optimal health.
Dr. Rapaport received her M.D. from the University of Virginia in 1991. After residency, she relocated to NC, where she worked in a primary care practice and served as the medical consultant for the health department. After the births of her two youngest children with special needs, Dr. Rapaport retired from the practice of medicine and devoted her time to her children and to writing. While caring for her children, she began to explore the biochemical and genetic causes of their disease, a neuroprogressive disorder for which conventional medicine has little to offer. She returned to her medical practice in 2005 and received her MFA in Creative Writing in 2007. In 2008, she founded Haven Medical, a holistic, integrative medical practice in Chapel Hill.
Certification with Dr. Shoemaker is the culmination of a process that began when she realized that many of her patients with Lyme disease and chronic fatigue were symptomatic of the chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) found with biotoxin exposure. In the midst of uncertain diagnoses, finding lab abnormalities that improve with treatment and correspond to similar improvements in symptoms is a breath of fresh air. She applies her clinical knowledge and skills to partner with individuals suffering from chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, hormonal imbalances, dysautonomias, cancer, and other chronic illnesses.
Dr. Rapaport is certified in trigger point injection therapy and hyperbaric medicine. She is a Reiki Master and a Master level SCENAR therapist (and Levels I-III trainer). Dr. Rapaport has spoken nationally on integrative medicine and in 2002 presented a talk on inherited dysautonomias at the NIH. She served on the Board of the American Holistic Medical Association, and is a founder and the current president of Familial Dysautonomia Hope Foundation.
Dr. Rapaport sees individuals for assessment and treatment of biotoxin-associated illness by appointment:

Jonah Jones zoomed to popularity in the late 50s. He found a successful formula and used it to brighten the hit charts with a succession of bouncy albums on Capitol Records. His quartet was one of the three newcomers in the Top 10 wide variety of small groups listed in the favorite Instrumental Billboard lists in 1958.
On this set Jonah Jones rides on top of an excellent rhythm section to blow very good muted and open horn on Swingin at the Cinema, a tribute to his considerable versatility and awesome courage to swing such masterworks as the 'Colonel Bogey March' or 'True Love.' Jones sets the pace for this package with I Dig Chicks!, which he chants to good effect. The group as usual swings in a commercial groove...
For his efforts in the Capitol album I Dig Chicks!, Jones received a Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by an Orchestra.

"At 46, Jones' days of glory with Lunceford, Stuff Smith, and Cab Calloway must have seemed behind him when, in '55 he was booked at the Embers in New York. However, his light touch, muted trumpet and the occasional shuffle backing, proved a winning formula, with hits through to the early '60's. Those seeking a virtuosic performance may be disappointed. Recorded in '58 while signed to Capitol, this is commercial and somewhat eclectic stuff. He rarely stretches out, soloing for one chorus on most numbers, but as the liner notes say, it swings in a commercial groove and his swinging, fun style, elaborate glissandos, lip trills and vibrato inject both recordings with an infectious energy. Numbers like Gal in Calico and Colonel Bogey are full of life and though he was no Sinatra, his vocals are well worth hearing.
All in all, this is a cheerful offering and provides a fine lesson on how to simply swing a tune."
Ben Cummings *
The Jazz Rag (October, 2014)
(*) Ben Cummings has been much admired for his work with a variety of bands. Now he has stepped into the shoes of a fine British trumpeter who, like Jonah Jones, achieved mainstream popularity Kenny Ball.
-Swingin at the Cinema
"One in a lengthy series of Capitol albums by trumpeter/vocalist Jonah Jones and his quartet (there were five in 1958 alone), this set finds Jones looking for gold by performing a dozen numbers that originally debuted in Hollywood movies. There were no hits this time around, but the LP sold fairly well. Jones, joined by pianist George Rhodes, bassist John Brown and drummer Harold Austin, uplifts such tunes as "True Love," "Colonel Bogey March," "Three Coins In the Fountain" and "Lullaby of Broadway."
-I Dig Chicks!
"The cover of this LP gives males three good reasons to "dig chicks." Trumpeter/vocalist Jonah Jones continues his "swinging with a shuffle" formula, performing 11 songs named after women, plus the title cut (which has one of his six vocals of the date). Jones, pianist Teddy Brannon, bassist John Brown and drummer George Foster have a good time romping on such numbers as "Mandy, Make Up Your Mind," "Tangerine," "Blue Lou," "Rosetta" and some lesser-known tunes. The overall results may be a bit lightweight and predictable, but the trumpeter gives this album enough exciting moments to make it worth getting."

Student numbers up at many schools in region
TWELVE of the region's 22 state schools have seen a boost in student enrolment numbers this year with Clifton State High School noticing the biggest increase in the region, according to day 8 figures.
Principal Joy Craig said the 57 new enrolments at Clifton High were not only a sign of the year 7s joining the school with the flying start program, but a sign of strong community partnerships.
"We're very positive about our school and all the opportunities we have, including the equine program launched this year, and our community partnerships are very strong as well as the connections we've got to our cluster primary schools," Mrs Craig said.
She said the school was well-prepared for the influx in student numbers.
"We had totally prepared for it before the start of the year," she said.
"We're really excited about seeing the school expand and we certainly have the capacity to deal with it."
Mrs Craig said the transition of year 7s moving up into high school had been "seamless".
Glennie Heights was another Southern Downs primary school to welcome fresh new faces, and principal Paul O'Mara said he was pleased to see the school grow.
"We've established another class this year and another teacher so we're all very happy about that," Mr O'Mara said.
He said he believed it was because of the "demographic in the area and the good stuff we are doing here".
"I think it indicates that state education has a strong future and that building positive relationships and focussing on a balanced education is something parents and children respond well to," Mr O'Mara said.
"We are hoping that we can maintain our growth."
Other schools across the region to enrol more students than last year include Allora, Freestone, Glen Aplin, Killarney, Leyburn, Murray's Bridge, Stanthorpe, The Summit, Wallangarra and Warwick Central State schools.
Of the region, Warwick High lost the most enrolments in comparison to last year, with 974.6 students this year.
Goondiwindi State and High schools were not included in the Day 8 data as they were affected by flooding during the data collection.

Gunnar- Hi Evina!
Evina Luna- Hi! I am here again!
G- I have invited you back to do a follow up interview, to check in since last time and find out what is new in the exciting life of Evina Luna. The last time I posted an interview with you, there was a lot of feedback. Tell me about that.
EL- It was interesting. After people read the interview, I got both negative and positive feedback. I was more shocked by negative posts, because they came from people that I believed were friends. It made me realize that I can't do this to please everybody. The most important thing I have to do is do what makes me happy.
The positive posts really motivated me to push forward. One of those was from Ashley Hudson. She was a friend back in high school where I was being picked on, and she wrote one of the sweetest emails after she had read the last interview. What she said helped me re-center myself. She, among other people who really read the interview, had a lot of positive feedback to give me. These comments helped me see what was important in my career, and helped me see where I want to go with it.
As far as the negative comments go, I remember putting these people on pedestals, or--"I have to be this kind of person so people will like me". After reading their responses to my interview, I feel that they never liked me from the beginning.
Now, with that said, I believe it is important to have relationships and friendships in this difficult business. Finding people that I am really lucky to have in my life, like Lisa with Battle Dress Body Paint--she is phenomenal. I love working with her. She has helped me get gigs and work beyond anything I ever could have asked for. I can now go down a list of names, people that I have surrounded myself with (you being one of them) that I can trust, work with, and not [be] obligated to. I mean, in any business there is some level of obligation with your work. Such as: you are obligated to A) show up on time, B) arrive as prepared as possible, and C) just be a good model, not a diva. Do what it is that they hired you to do. Unfortunately this industry is so over-saturated with models, photographers, makeup artists, etc., etc., that just don't have that quality of work ethic. It is as if they have a sense of entitlement, but for me it is more about being confident, not entitled. If you come across as entitled, I think it really hurts you in this, or any, business. I think I may have gone a bit off topic there, but you get what I am trying to say….
G- Yes, I do, and I am sure the readers will as well. In that answer, you said that the feedback helped you see where you wanted to go with your career. Tell me more about that.
EL- It acted as a fire-starter under my butt, to end the relationships that are holding me back in life. To say to myself, "I am not perfect, but perfect for me", and that I am full of flaws and I am ok with that. It also opened my eyes that I don't have to be a people pleaser. Realizing all of this really helped me competitively in the NPC [National Physique Committee]. I used to enter a contest thinking that I always had to be 100% spot on--perfect--in front of the judges. At the end of the day that really hurt me. I spent way too much time thinking about what others thought of me vs. what I thought of me. And so this takes us back to how the negative comments also helped me be better at what I do. I am now very comfortable in my own skin. If you remember from the last time we talked, this is one of the big issues for many models. I have let go of those insecurities and am a much more focused and better person for it.
As for what I want to do, I have started a blog (www.evinaluna.blogspot.com) that is about the products I use, companies I have worked for, and empowering the people I have worked with. I set up this blog a while ago, but never wrote the first post due to all of those past insecurities. I was afraid of what people would think or say. Now I feel confident enough that one day my post will reach out to someone.
With my business, We Care Group Fitness, my insecurities set me back on starting it. How would the marketing be done? What will people think of me? How often should I post? If I post too often, will it annoy people? Blah, blah, blah. Now I know that if I don't take chances and push past those fears, I will never be successful.
G- So with all of these revelations and new found comfort with who you are, with your current competition results, and your first big win, have your desires and goals as a model changed any since the last time we spoke?
EL- For those of you reading, I just had my first-ever first-place trophy in the NPC, which was [the most] overwhelming feeling that I have ever experienced! I have competed for years with Hawaiian Tropic, taken 2nd place many times, and (by default) was able to hold the title of Miss Tucson Arizona. Now, seeing my hard work pay off with the win was very humbling. Of course there was the initial "WOOHOO! YEAH!!!" but in my head I thought "It is about time!" I have worked my tail off for this, and I got it! It…took me 10 years to get that 1st place trophy, but for me it HAD to take that long. This is a part of my journey and to enjoy it this much, I had to work that hard.
To answer your question: not at all. I still want the same things and have the same goals to be the best at what I do and help as many people as I can along the way. In fact, I enjoy helping women so much, I started online coaching. I am working with someone right now that has never put on high heels, done her hair or worn a stitch of makeup, and she is 21. I get to help her build her confidence and empower her womanhood. What really matters to me is that I get to help this woman bloom into the beautiful person she is. I am helping women find themselves (having 3 older brothers, I didn't know how to do that), to help them understand their sexuality, to help them find their strength, to help them understand they don't have to be a pushover, to watch them get comfortable in their own skin, and most of all, to help them understand they don't have to be a victim.
That is it for today... I will post up part 2 of the interview a week from today.

Two Ways To Play: Merrill's Recession Warning
Strengthen your portfolio in good times and bad.
With record food prices and surging fuel costs, Merrill's sector strategist Brian Belski warned that it isn't your average recession. "We would urge caution for investors attempting to call the bottom in the current environment," he said.
Belski said the S&P 500 index has never bottomed within the first three months of a contraction. David Rosenberg, Merrill's chief North American economist, added that the 19-month low experienced in March was only about two and a half months into the current contraction.
Given that the U.S. economy has always relied heavily upon the consumer, the analysts believe the recession will be worse than the typical slowdown. Belski warned that investors shouldn't be fooled by the S&P 500's 12% gain from the March low to May 19, because it doesn't indicate a turnaround in the economy.
See Professor Bennet Sedacca's Financial Tsunami Ahead.
From the Bull Pen: With gold futures dropping, and the miners rallying, did gold stocks give us a hint today? Professor Lewis has mentioned that these gold stocks will likely outperform the metal. Options for bulls may include GoldCorp (GG), Newmont Mining (NEM), or the Gold Miners ETF (GDX).
From the Bear Cave: Will the consumers be buying General Motors' (GM) products in such an environment? The stock is trading at multi-decade lows, and today's news of the company practically giving away their trucks at zero-percent financing for six years possibly showed its desperation.

We were standing on the corner of Grant and 23rd when this guy came sidling up to us. He had on a long skeezy coat and was talking out of the corner of his mouth in that mumble where you can't tell if he wants to beg a ride or a dollar or sell you drugs or what. His had a lumpy scarf wrapped around most of his face and under it, he could have been twenty-eight or thirty-five or sixty.
My brother Jack said, "Is it sold out?" and after he said that, I could kind of backtrack the guy's mumble and break it into words.
Tickets. The guy was holding a pair of show tickets. They glowed paper-white under the streetlights. You boys need tickets?
I shook my head, but Jack was already digging around in his pockets, searching for his wallet.
"No!" I said, and I said it fast and loud, grabbing for his elbow like that might actually stop him from doing whatever the hell he wanted.
Jack only laughed and pulled his arm out of my hand. "Hey, what's the problem? You love Giantkiller, right? And you've been yowling all day about your stupid guitar, so this makes us square."
I just looked at him. Square would be my Fender back.
Square would be if I could have a new brother.
He looked right at me, smiling in the way that when we were little always meant he was about to hold me down in the swimming pool or take my candy bar or lock me in the basement. "Acting like a whiny little bitch isn't going to get your guitar back."
There was an empty Schlitz can lying in the middle of the sidewalk and I kicked it hard so it went bouncing along the gutter and down into the storm drain. "If you'd have just stuck to pawning your own shit, I wouldn't need to get it back. And yeah, I liked Giantkiller in the eighth grade. "
Jack shrugged and smiled like none of that even made a difference. He handed the guy a couple of twenties and punched me on the arm. "Stop moaning about the guitar. We'll get you another one."
He passed me a ticket. It was crumpled and worn soft from being held in the guy's gloved hand all night.
Also, Jack is an asshole.
Inside the club, the crowd was packed in all the way to the back bar. The whole place was dim and smelled like stale sweat and old beer and drying blood from the mosh pit.
Jack pushed straight through the swarms of people like they weren't even there, and everyone just let him, even though two feet away, I saw a guy get punched in the face just for trying not to get crushed against the wall.
When Mason Tyler came onstage, the crowd screamed like they were being eaten alive. keep reading…
