Today I was rude to someone. I know this is not the ideal thing for me to do, but I couldn't contain myself. I felt kind of bad about it after, because it wasn't really entirely the ladies fault, but let's just say that she was the beep in the headset that broke the Drive Thru Guy's back. I cannot say straw and camel because if the two fat bitches in the upcoming tale were on a camel, they'd surely break its legs. Let's get on with this ranting good time!
The first lady pulled up and I answered "Hi, can I take your order?"
"Yes, I'll get the two pieces of chicken and a root beer and a dish of the soup of the day and a root beer" Hmmmm, some of those words seem like they FORM A COMBO LADY. Also, why are you asking for pop twice? Do you want two drinks?
"Ok, so the 2 piece combo with soup and a root beer?" I repeat.
"Well do you have a soup combo?" she asks. You can get the soup instead of fries for no additional charge. I assume this is what she wants to know. Never assume.
"Yes, you can get the soup in a combo" I respond.
"Ok, I'll have that then."
"Alright so did you still want the extra root beer?"
"Well no, I don't want an extra one if it comes in the combo," she snaps back.
"Alright, $7.88, first window please."
She pulls up to pay and then arrives at my window. I hand her the pop and a bag with her chicken and soup. She hands the pop to the passenger and then tells me she's missing a root beer. JESUS LADY WE JUST WENT OVER THIS. I'm not rude, but I do wonder if she is off her fucking meds. "I thought you didn't want the second root beer ma'am?"
She glares at me, smirks a bit, and doesn't say a word, but instead looks through her bag. "What did you charge me for?"
"I charged you for a two piece chicken combo with soup instead of fries and a root beer" I respond.
She grins a bit, shakes her head back and forth and looks over to her passenger to whom she says 'Unbelievable, well here's YOUR root beer I guess.' She looks back at me and says "No, I wanted the two piece combo with fries and a root beer and the soup combo with root beer. Is that not what I just paid 8 dollars for?" Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME LADY? If you think two combos anywhere comes to $8 then either you've never been out before or something is seriously wrong with you.
"Oh, I'm sorry" I exclaim, "I thought you wanted the soup instead of the fries. We don't have just the soup and a drink as a combo. So you need a fry and another root beer?"
Then, in the most condescending voice I have EVER heard (and I have heard some doozies) she hands the bag back into the window and says "Why don't YOU just TAKE THIS BAG back inside and GET ME WHAT I ORDERED." She's not yelling or anything, but she obviously thinks I am the dumbest person on the planet and she is the best communicator of her generation.
"I don't need the bag back ma'am" I respond, "I'll put the fries in another bag and get you another pop." I close the window and head over to the fry area where I ask the fry person for their oldest fries. I put them in a bag with a straw and then go back to hand them out with the root beer (at no extra charge as we chalk this sort of thing up to employee error). "Sorry for the mix up ma'am" I say as I hand out the bag.
"Well, first you tell me you have a soup combo, and then you tell me you don't. Whatever." She says as she drives off. Whatever is right lady, if I owned this place, I'd tell you stick your $8 up your fat ass and never come back here. A soup combo? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? Fuck I hope you get beaten on the street in a random attack later this afternoon.
Two cars later, and I get Fat Bitch # 2. The beep in the headset that broke the Drive Thru Guy's back.
To be continued…

the veins of a novel. Without characters a novel would just be
setting, and there would be more adverbs and long, flowery dense
paragraphs describing said setting, which would no doubt increase the
need for anti-depressants. But you can't just throw characters on the
page, make them tongue kiss and call it a novel. No, sir. You need to
know these characters like you know yourself or your friends or
Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
Don't believe me? Fine. But maybe you'll
believe my old friend Lajos Egri, who, in The Art of Dramatic
Writing, states that, in order to truly make "tri-dimensional
characters", you need to know their three 'ology's: Physiology,
Sociology, and Psychology. And trust me, you do not want to mess with
Lajos Egri, especially after he's been drinking whiskey. Now seeing
how this is a two question quiz and not three, we have omitted
psychology, but that matters not. I think you'll get the drift.
So stop doing pushups in front of the mirror, mute "Will and Grace", and
check up on this special, awkwardly long edition of The Two Question
Novel Quiz.
Directions: Pick the answer that most clearly coincides with what you
know of your main character.
1. Describe everything you know about the physiology of your character.
A. Casey is a girlish boy between 18-40 with terrible posture.
B. Casey is a really tall girlish boy in his mid-twenties with
terrible posture and hips that don't lie.
C. Casey is a 6'8 girlish 26 year old boy with raven black hair,
green eyes, freckles and the posture of a man who has spent most of
his life in one of those stockades you see in The Pirates of the
Caribbean. He's decent looking despite having thick ankles and uneven
arms. And yet, his hips still don't lie.
D. At 6'8, Casey is registered as a giant in several Eastern European
countries. A long, wiry 26 year old with raven black hair, greenish
yellow eyes, and those light freckles that only show up in the sun,
he has to deal with the fact that his right arm is 2 inches longer
than the left and his ankles are so thick that they may be impossible
to sprain. His feet are uncomfortably wide, which means he has to
purchase New Balance running shoes because they come in widths. He
has a fairly symmetrical face, although that contends with a gigantic
head that he covers with a ten-gallon Stetson he calls "Izzy".
Perhaps that explains his terrible posture and the birthmark of a
lightning bolt fighting a wizard on his back. And after spending
several summers in latin dance classes, his hips finally don't lie.
2. What is the sociological situation your character faces?
A. Drew is a kind of rich white boy who went to one of those schools
where you don't come home after school and you have to wear sweaters.
His parents are, like, aggressively not sweet.
B. Drew is a 22 year old upper-middle class white kid with a secure
job selling Cutco knives door to door post college. He went to
boarding school after his parents divorced and his father moved back
to Ireland. His mom does drugs and cries while watching Grey's
Anatomy repeats.
C. Drew is a 22 year old upper-middle class white kid from Weston,
CT. He has a job right now selling Cutco knives, which is lucrative
because he knows a lot of rich women with dull knives. Drew attended
Choate after his parents split and then Connecticut College, where he
double majored. His mother divorced his father, an Irish doctor,
after finding out he had a second life in Seattle, WA, where he was
dating an intern at a hospital. His mother smokes drugs and cries
while watching Grey's Anatomy repeats. When this happens, Drew goes
up in his room and plays video games.
D. Drew is a 22 year old upper-middle class white WASP from Weston,
CT. He dislikes his current job selling Cutco knives but doesn't quit
because he's made 7 grand in the past two months selling said knife
sets to bored, rich friends of his mother, who always act impressed
when he cuts a penny with a knife. After his parents divorced when he
was 16, Drew attended Choate where he got mostly B's, and Conn
College, where he majored in English and Dance and continued to get
B's while dating girls one year younger than him. His mother is
depressed, and has been ever since she found out that his father, a
surgeon, large Republican party donor and Irish citizen, was leading
a second life in Seattle, WA, where he lived in a trailer on a large
tract of land and dated an intern at Seattle Grace named Meredith.
During the days his mother sits around the house in fleece
sweatpants, smoking marijuana out of a bowl she confiscated from him,
eating Funions, and crying while watching several emotional episodes
from the Second Season of Grey's Anatomy. When this happens, Drew
goes up in his room and plays as the Dallas Stars in NHL 94 on his
Sega Genesis, usually with the penalty for offsides turned off.
Mostly A's: Perhaps you haven't quite thought through just how long
you're going to be with this character, mostly because you don't
really seem to know anything about them. Maybe you two need to re-
evaluate your relationship before moving forward in a serious manner.
Really, it's not them, it's you.
Mostly B's: You're getting there. You kind of know things about your
character, and you've kind of started to flesh them out, and that's
kind of good, but you better start stepping your game up if you want
to make this character more than kind of believable. Nice job, kind of.
Mostly C's: This is good. You've really thought about your character
and started to develop specific, detailed backstory, which will guide
you through the book. You might even have enough there to be able to
pump out a first draft in less than three years. Please stop rubbing
that fact in my face.
Mostly D's: You have an obsessive, scarily encyclopedic knowledge of
your made-up character that borders on unhealthy. You probably get
into real life situations and find yourself thinking, "what would my
character do here", which is troubling, especially if you're on a
date. And worst of all (for us and the hope for normal social
interactions), if you want to create successful Egri style "tri-
dimensional" characters, this is probably where you need to be at.

BISD looks at expanding athletic facilities
By Carolyn B. Edwards BCC Staff Writer
Spurred on by new athletic director David Sine, the Bandera ISD board of trustees has begun looking at options to expand and improve athletic facilities at Bandera Middle School and Bandera High School. Sine was hired as the district's new AD and head football coach in March of this year.
He came to Bandera with a record of successful programs in his former schools: Columbus, Sonora and Flatonia. He brought with him a strength and conditioning program he calls Bigger, Faster, Stronger for boys and Leaner, Faster, Stronger for girls. His goal is to have every athlete from Middle School through High School participating in the program.
However, the district lacks ample facilities to house the weight machines needed for the program.
According to Andrew Simpson, an engineer with Archimedia, a design build consultancy company out of New Braunfels, "the current weight room at the high school is too small for the number of students." Simpson said support columns running down the center of the room prevent rearranging the weight machines. "There are also inadequate exits," he said, pointing out an important safety feature.
In order to accommodate Sine's program, Simpson advised the board to consider a new facility that would provide 6200 square feet. That would allow space for 16 machines, rest rooms, storage, a mat room and coaches' offices.
Simpson suggested three options to the board: expand the current weight room, build a separate building where the batting cages are currently located, or use a storage building located at the practice field as an adjunct to the existing room, while making plans to expand that storage building.
Meanwhile, over at Bandera Middle School, progress has been made on refurbishing the stadium and field at that location. In April, district Maintenance Director Ed Barnes brought several safety concerns to the board regarding the facility. Those concerns included crumbling supports for the aluminum bleacher seats, rotting wooden bleacher seats, restrooms that are non-ADA compliant, a rotting press box, and a mysterious "foxhole" of lines and valves cordoned off with plastic fencing. The old field house under the bleachers also needed attention, said Barnes.
At the Monday, July 8, BISD board meeting, Barnes, Sine, and engineer Frank Johnston presented some options for the BMS facility to the trustees.
Barnes reported that the aluminum bleachers seats have been removed in-house and are being recycled to replace rotted wooden seats.
Johnston reported that the old field house "looks solid. There's no cracking. It should serve you for a long time." Barnes said the field house, located under the stands, hasn't really been used, except for storage, for a few years."
Sine urged the board to consider remodeling the field house to serve as a weight room for BMS athletes. "The lack of a strength program affects all of our athletes, not just athletically, but academically," said Sine. "What you have right now is not allowing every child to lift [weights]."
Sine said that Bandera's poor showing in football for the last few seasons could be blamed on the lack of a strong conditioning program. "If we fix this, we can turn this thing around."
Sine asked the board to move quickly on making a decision. "We need to get it done before school starts," he said.
However, Johnston indicated that it could take three to four months to demolish walls and remodel the space into a weight room.
Reluctantly giving in to this bump in the road to creating the Bulldog Nation, Sine said it could be possible to bus the middle school athletes to the high school for their weight training.
Superintendent Regina Howell said the kids would accept that "if they know something better's coming."
As the dollars kept adding up for construction and remodeling, athletic equipment engineer Jeff Bresee informed the board that the track at Bandera High School was long overdue for resurfacing. "You have a latex track," said Bresee, "which has a four or five year life span before the binder begins to crystallize." The BHS track is eight or nine years old.
Bresee recommended resurfacing the track with a urethane product that has a 10 to 12 year life span, but comes with a higher initial cost.
When asked if an additional lane could be added so that Bandera could host regional track meets, Bresee said the district would be looking at a $700,000 to $800,000 expense.
In addition to resurfacing the track, Bresee informed the board that the high jump pit does not meet UIL specifications and will have to be upgraded.

The press box at BMS stadium is just one of many areas in the structure that need to be replaced, removed or repaired.

What is the Capital of Israel?
In the past week, the capital of Israel has entered mainstream U.S. political discussion twice. The first event started at a White House press conference when spokesperson Jay Carney refused to answer a simple question; "What does this administration consider to be the capital of Israel, Jerusalem or Tel Aviv?"
On Sunday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney traveled to Israel to make sure the whole world knew what he believed to be the capital of Israel. Although Romney's statement is likely linked to Carney's waffling, it has deeper implications. Despite decades of Israel claiming that Jerusalem is its capital, the U.S. embassy is based in Tel Aviv (a favored capitol location for many Palestinians).
The geographical debate is unlikely to sway many opinions at home or abroad, but the episode is a good example of how a simple flip, flop, or foible in this head-to-head election cycle can explode into an international event . . . at least until the 24-hour news cycle forgets all about it.

Disaster Map
This is not fictional: "Several thousand litres of slightly radioactive water leaked in the second unit of nuclear power plant Temelin, southern Bohemia, on Wednesday afternoon (03/08/2006), Temelin spokesman Milan Nebesar told CTK today. Radioactive substances have not leaked to the surrounding countryside or outside the zone monitored by the plant. Neither has the leak threatened the health of Temelin staff, Nebesar said. The water leaked in two rooms which are hermetically sealed with no staff inside. "The cause was open manually operated fittings used for an occasional supply of siphons of one the auxiliary systems of one of the collecting tanks which are not part of the reactor's pressure unit," Nebesar said, stressing the accident happened outside the primary circuit. The staff was probably checking the supply system and did not fully tighten the fittings, he added. The State Authority for Nuclear Safety (SUJB) said in a preliminary statement that the incident had little significance but that it would look into it. "The frequency of the problems is quite high but it is nothing to speak about from the safety standpoint," said SUJB chairwoman Dana Drabova. The plant's second unit operates at the planned output. The first unit is due to be shut down because of fuel replacement carried out every year."

Makes a difference for dark colours
by Daniel, 29 Oct 2015
I've never been tempted to buy & try a Dodo wax before but I thought I would give it a go and bought the Purple Haze sample pot. After usual steps (washing/drying/cleaning) here are my personal findings: pleasant smell, fairly easy on and off process, great water beading and it really added a superb deep wet look on my car (black BMW F10) - this wax really makes a difference. As I was enjoying the view I have realised that I should have bought the bigger "bucket" (pot)…
Very good for dark blues
by Angus Houston, 30 Apr 2015
Lovely consistency and goes a long way, further than other waxes. I applied and removed by hand and got a lovely shine and good beading when new. Other waxes are more durable however.

Browse these couples therapy services with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Humboldt.
Mike is a great counselor, unfortunately it was too much of a commute for us but I would strongly recommend him for couples counseling.
Scott is pragmatic, supportive, empathic and knowledgeable about the numerous issues we've brought to him. He draws from a multitude of paradigms to offer his best assessment and understanding of what he is observing and hearing. He has also helped us to come up with simple, practical and doable self-interventions to "try at home." Whether you are seeking a deep dive or tune-up, I would definitely recommend Scott for couples counseling.
My experience with Terry Daggett was one of the best of my life. We really clicked as a therapist/patient couple. It's possible if I wouldn't have met Terry, I wouldn't have any kind of relationship with my mother... but today she is my best friend. I never thought that to be possible. Terry helped me look inside myself and at relationships to help make them better. Amazing work. Wish I was still near her to see her today.
Freedom lives her yoga on and off the mat. She intermingles her beauty, her philosophy and a well thought out physical practice with a balance of both soothing and strong moving asanas. Freedom is a beautiful and unique instructor who deeply cares for her students.
Dana is a blessing in my life. I have searched for her for a long time. I have tried many different therapists and never felt that they could quite grasp me or keep up with my ever changing thoughts, it is not easy but Dana does it with ease. Every time I finish a session I feel lighter, energized and clear. It is hard to put into words how grateful I am for her support. She is extremely good at what she does and truly cares. She has helped me tremendously.
My husband and I did marriage counseling with Jay and really enjoyed it. We were long distance so our situation was unique but he did a great job and we used Skype so it felt like we were still there. We really liked all the quizzes and resources he gave us. Things came up that we didn't even think about before and he focused on our differences to make sure we could work through things together. We learned a lot about each other which was great. It really helped prepare us for marriage.
Shantika is a skilled professional and a compassionate healer. I have found her emphasis on addressing feelings through the body is an excellent adjunct to traditional talk therapy in my own personal growth work. She uses a range of modalities that are very effective, but not as well know in the US - Family Constellation and Rosen, in particular. She is also an excellent massage therapist if the issue is simply sore or tight muscles.
Marissa is genuine and compassionate in her therapy work. I felt comfortable talking with her from the moment we met.
After evaluating the responses on Thumbtack, I found that Refresh Therapy, Inc was just the fit for the situation that was needing to be addressed.
I have always been a hopeful person, but a little over a year ago I wasn't certain that I would be able to rise above what felt like this unsurmountable pit of post traumatic hell. I felt that I would be swallowed alive and was slowly being absorbed by it. The pain of my past was chasing me into a corner everyday and even though I was now surrounded by those who deeply love and care about me, I felt alone by my experiences, and stark differences in my day to day survival. I knew I needed help, and I knew that even though I was terrified I couldn't do it alone. After scheduling, and rescheduling out of fear, I finally made it to Krystal's office. I didn't know what to expect, but I felt like i was on the verge of breaking and with tears in my eyes I shared why I was there. I never could have anticipated a warmer reception than the welcome I received from Krystal that day, and each day there after. The routine I would come to know and cherish with the work that I would do in and out of our sessions was subtle, and I remember feeling a little better, and a little more at peace in my heart after each time shared. The immense shift and turn around has been an amazing blessing to my life, and I know that I would not have been able to do it with out Krystal. Her authentic and natural ability to create a sacred space for healing to evolve in, is genuine in every sense of the word. And unlike many other Therapists I'd seen in the past, I know with out a shadow of a doubt that this, is Krystal's calling. I enjoy Be Kind Counseling because with out it I would never have come to deeply understand that I really am the author of my life, and that I have the ability to write and rewrite my story as beautifully and as safely as I see suitable. Krystal's therapy have allowed me to delve into all areas I am passionate about with confidence, and my sessions have given me the focus to work towards my goals. I have re found my voice, and am using it. And to me that is priceless. As my healing journey continues with Krystal and through the help of her sessions; I am grateful to look back and see such significant growth within myself. I look forward to that which I know is lighting the path ahead of me guiding me deeper into my strengths. A kindness I now recognize as necessary to not only allocate towards every one around me ( that I had a pretty great handle on), but kindness that I can allocate towards myself. To sum up my experience. always supportive, always compassionate, always kind That is, Be Kind Counseling
In short, Sarah is hands down one of the best therapists I have ever had! She is professional, compassionate, and obviously skilled at what she does. You might even say she is truly gifted! She listens well and has a unique ability to interpret what has been said. She then lays it out in a nice tidy concise way in which it allows you to make self discoveries and growth on your own terms! I highly recommend her as an individual and/or couples therapist. Her natural abilities to empathize make you feel comfortable to share and at the end of the session feel validated and clear headed!
There are so many counselors, healers, therapists, lifestyle gurus and professional advice-givers out there that it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the choices. As a mother of three, I've spent who knows how much time and money looking for effective support for my family's health, only to find superficial, time consuming programs that may produce short-lived results (that require constant re-upping to maintain any effectiveness), but never really get to the heart of what we need. Nothing I've tried has come close to the kind of immediate, deep affect that working with Krista has provided. Her methods are so gentle and intuitive that it's hard to believe the powerful results. Within a week of our first hour-long session, my energy and sense of well-being were raised dramatically. I felt clearer and more confident in my body's ability to heal and was amazed when the results started reaching beyond the original issue for which I had sought her out. Five years later, I don't hesitate to turn to Krista first for all of my and my family's health questions, from nutrition to mental/emotional and relationship dilemmas. Her compassionate manner and truly holistic approach have given me the support I've needed to overcome blocks and reach my goals, without the confusing and often guilt-inducing yo-yo effect I've experienced with other practitioners. She understands that our lives aren't cookie-cutter and our issues aren't compartmentalized, and so is able to invest in the whole client and get to the actual root of a problem, instead of just temporarily easing the symptoms. If you've tried all the healthy living fads, diet programs, all the different therapies, alternative and conventional, and are still feeling stuck, please set up an appointment with Krista, and get ready for a breakthrough!
Displaying a multidimensional perspective gained through her education in Family Systems and Transpersonal Psychology, Dr. Jessica Thomas, has extensive experience helping those struggling with loss, anticipatory grief, complicated grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and couple's and family conflict. Jessica's compassion and expertise stems from her understanding of the web of connections and emotional dynamics unfolding in contemporary families, couples, and larger organizational systems. She believes that we are all connected, that through awareness we can create meaning, and learn the causes of our own happiness and the conditions for others' happiness. Clients are guided through a therapeutic process of honest reflection, meaning-making, mindfulness practice, and sometimes, artistic expression. She works co-creatively with individuals, couples, and families to develop authentic treatment plans according to needs, wants, and personalities. She also guides groups through creative and reflective practices that bring deeper awareness, inspiration, inner peace, joy, and healing.
I meet my clients on a humanistic, relational level.
I have lived and worked in the Portland Metro area since 1995 after spending my childhood and undergraduate years on the East Coast. During this time, I have worked in both the private and public sectors, with children, adults and families. I work with clients and families with struggles including; relational difficulties, family conflicts, mood disorders, self-esteem, anxiety and the effects of trauma. I also work often with those who are seeking overall peace, mastery and true meaning in their life. I assist clients with building hope and learning safe ways to cope and function so they can find their own success and truth as individuals, partners and/or family systems. My passion is to help clients feeling stuck to explore and create new solutions when others have not worked. I have worked for many years with children, adults and families who have struggled with complex and long term mental health needs often combined with substance use and abuse and or/trauma. I have long term experience working with families who have come together through foster care or adoption. I also enjoy supporting adolescents/young adults with developing and practicing successful transitions to adulthood and independence. My overall therapeutic approach is based in mindfulness and awareness building techniques. I also integrate a wide variety of other approaches depending on the individual needs of each client. These approaches include; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques, Family Systems Theory, CBT, Attachment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Collaborative Problem Solving emotionally-focused techniques and trauma-based approaches. In my role, I support clients with identifying the source of struggles, and learning effective ways to manage symptoms and develop their own meaning of success. I support clients in defining and honoring their individual needs, beliefs, values and goals. I aim to provide a space for them to explore what is and is not working and to develop tools that assist them in moving toward a better overall quality of life. I work with clients to provide them a safe space to check in, explore and process life's struggles. Over the years, I have been able to build strong relationships with community mental health providers, state agencies, educational and court systems in Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas Counties. I have worked directly with providers at many levels of care including day treatment, psychiatric residential, and state hospital. My years of experience include working with clients from a wide array of backgrounds including; cultural and sexual minority groups, clients from a variety of religious and economic backgrounds, and clients who have experienced significant trauma.
I help people solve problems with relationships so they can lead happier lives. I specialize in addiction, divorce, depression and anxiety.
I'm committed to the best possible care for my clients. To me this means that I'm focused not only on outcomes but also process - ensuring that clients feel as though they are progressing towards their goals, that they are learning about themselves and their relationships, and that they are gaining and implementing effective tools for life. I want to make sure that what we do together is sustainable, realistic, and achievable. When obstacles appear, I'm not afraid of identifying and tackling them in order to reduce the chances of falling back into old, destructive patterns. Finally, I have a high standard for the work that I do because I recognize that others' lives and relationships are being affected by the counseling process.
I have completed the workshop and wrote a research paper on Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy - an successful approach to couples counzeling
Have you lost interest in the things you used to enjoy? Do you feel you've lost your energy or "spark"? Do you and your partner feel more like roommates than lovers? Are you concerned about your child's behavior? It is not easy to balance the emotional pressure of life's challenges with daily demands. Often, people feel defined by their struggles and lose sight of themselves within. It is important to take the time to check-in with yourself--to get back to you. From a place of self-care and understanding, great work can be done. Today is a good day to start feeling better. Call me, tell me what I can do for you and we'll go from there. I serve individuals, couples, families and children with a fully equipped Play-Therapy room. Offering affordable mental health care to the community is important to me. I have a sliding-fee scale to fit most budgets. Knowing your comfort level is key to this process, I am also happy to offer a free consultation as well.
Create harmony in your home. We offer effective help for a happier and more harmonious life at home. We provide support and education for couples on communication, developing emotional intelligence, achieving greater closeness and intimacy. Get past bickering and tedious arguments. Find the attraction and excitement you once had about your partner and re-kindle your relationship.
I have my master's degree in psychology as well as am a licensed counselor who specializes in mental health and motivational counseling skills and helping individuals develop positive life-coping skills to be more positive with their own life. I have a beautiful golden retriever that adores meeting new people and a boxer that works well with teens, children, and adults.

The exfoliator is new to me so I can't give you an in depth review, but I can say that the granules are very smooth and it does lather slightly. I do like it so far.
The Deluvia mask I've been using for six or seven years. It's great when you want something quick, but still does a good job. I use this in the shower, which saves even more time. A little goes a long way. Just spread a thin layer on, wait 1-5 minutes and then rinse off. It does tingle a bit which I like because I can feel it working.
Let me know what you include in your Face Mask Fridays, or whatever days you face mask ;) Hope your year is off to a great start!
Take Care and Smile Always =)

A Hatful Of Rain (1957) Dope & Soap Noir
May 03, 2017, 04:18:02 AM »
The Lost Weekend (1945), Guilty Bystander (1950), The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955), Stakeout On Dope Street (1958) Days of Wine and Roses (1962), all films about addiction of one sort or another. There are probably even more that have drug addicted characters, but under the Motion Picture Production Code in the 1940s they probably just alluded to it very vaguely. Jeff Corey's "Blinky" character in The Killers (1946) was a junkie for one that I can think of, off the top of my head, though it was never mentioned.
Directed by Fred Zinnemann (Act of Violence (1949), High Noon (1952)). Written by Michael V. Gazzo, Alfred Hayes, and Carl Foreman and based on Michael V.Gazzo's play of the same name. Cinematography was by Joseph MacDonald (The Dark Corner (1946), Call Northside 777 (1948), The Street with No Name (1948), Panic in the Streets (1950), Fourteen Hours (1951), Niagara (1953), Pickup on South Street (1953), House of Bamboo (1955)). Music was by the great Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane (1941), Psycho (1960), and Taxi Driver (1976)) among many, many others.
Polo (Franciosa)
John (Nolan) and Johnny (Murray)
Celia (Saint) with Polo (Franciosa)
Mother (Silva)
The film stars Don Murray (Bus Stop (1956), Advise & Consent (1962)) as Johnny Pope, Eva Marie Saint (On the Waterfront (1954), North by Northwest (1959)), as Celia Pope, Anthony Franciosa (A Face in the Crowd (1957), The Long, Hot Summer (1958), Across 110th Street (1972), The Drowning Pool (1975)) as Polo Pope. Veteran of seven Classic Film Noir Lloyd Nolan as John Pope, Sr., Henry Silva (The Manchurian Candidate (1962), Johnny Cool (1963), ) as Mother, Gerald S. O'Loughlin (In Cold Blood (1967)) as Chuch, William Hickey (Something Wild (1961), Prizzi's Honor (1985), Sea of Love (1989)) as Apples, and another Classic Noir bit player Paul Kruger (The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), The Killers (1946), High Wall (1947), Call Northside 777 (1948) among others) as the Bartender. The final character of the piece is a gritty wintery lower Manhattan.
Alfred Smith housing project
John Pope is up from Florida to visit his two sons and his new daughter-in-law. They live in the Alfred Smith housing project in the Two Bridges neighborhood of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. John has bought an option on a beachside bar in Ft. Lauderdale, he's also up to collect the $2,500 that Polo saved up for him to complete the renovations.
Johnny Polo is a Korean War vet and a hero. Polo Pope is a bouncer in a NYC bar. Celia Pope is pregnant with his grandchild. When John finds out that Polo blew the $2,500 he refuses to speak to him. Polo tells him that he gambled it away but in reality he's been giving to to Johnny who is hooked on heroin. Johnny was wounded in the back and got hooked on morphine while recovering in the VA hospital.
John Pope is one of those fathers who favors one of his sons over the other. Johnny gets all the praise for his military accomplishments and raising a family while he considers Polo a moocher living off his brother. In reality it's Polo's misguided love for his brother that glues the family unit together.
Johnny has lost four jobs due to the monkey on his back. Johnny and Celia are on the skids, he's gone all hours of the night. Celia thinks he is two timing her, but Johnny is out trying to score a fix. His other problem is that he owes a pusher called "Mother" $500 bucks, who demands payment. Mother and his two goons will seriously mess him up if he doesn't come up with the doe. Mother gives the desperate Johnny an automatic and tells him to mug people for the cash. When Johnny can't bring himself to do it Mother tells Polo to sell his car to cover it.
Brooklyn Bridge
Adding to the soap opera quality of this film is the fact that Polo is getting the hots for Celia and she is responding.
John Polo comes on very overbearing, his constant nagging of Polo begins to sound like an annoying foghorn. It becomes hard to believe that Polo would be that dumb to let the situation get to the point where he loses all the money he's saved for his dad and has to sell his car to boot to support Johnny's drug habit. It's also hard to accept that Celia was so naive. You'd think she'd notice the track marks on Johnny's body or wonder WTF was up with his abrupt mood swings. The film has her living in a bubble.
I guess we're supposed to accept the fact that there was that much of a stigma, at that point in our culture of admitting you're a junkie to everyone his wife, his father, his neighbors that Johnny was able to convince Polo not to spill the beans. Looking back upon it it seems too innocent.
I suppose that at the time this was released it must have been shockingly powerful stuff, Tony Franciosa was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Yet I find The Man With The Golden Arm the grittier of the two films. What this film has going for it are the actual New York locations, Sinatra's film was all shot on a set and it loses something because of that fact.
Don Murray is compelling as a man with a monkey on his back, Lloyd Nolan is doing his regular schtick, and Eva Marie Saint is still in her frumpish looking stage quite a far cry from her hottie turn in North By Northwest, it's hard to believe they are the same actress. Henry Silva, Gerald S. O'Loughlin, and William Hickey needed to be utilized a bit more.
It all just seems a bit too talky and not enough showy, the apartment sequences seem to drag a lot betraying the films play source. The film comes alive with the lower East Side NYC location shots and dies in the apartment/housing project sequences. Screen caps from a Youtube stream, 6/10

December 12, 2011
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is in political crisis. After an unfair, fraudulent and violent election, the National Electoral Commission, stacked with supporters of incumbent President Joseph Kabila, has announced Kabila is the winner. Leading challenger Étienne Tshisekedi has declared himself the winner.
February 19, 2011
"So this time around I lost. A few of our opposition people did scrape through, but the casino is owned by the ruling party and President Museveni and they would definitely be looking to make a profit. So that's how I see this election – like a trip to the casino." – Anne Mugisha
August 18, 2010
In January this year, Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza returned to her native Rwanda to run against incumbent Rwandan President Paul Kagame. Many observers believe that she would have been the leading candidate had she been able to officially enter the race.

OPPO N3's presale price is 4298 RMB (702.18 USD)
by Oct 22, 2014 1:58 am0
Recently, a user on Weibo posted a photo showing signs outside an OPPO store that is already accepting pre-orders for the OPPO N3 for 4298 RMB, which is 800 RMB (130.70 USD) more expensive than fellow-flagship phone, OPPO Find 7. This is much more expensive than many devices produced by many Chinese companies. Can you imagine how stunned OPPO's rivals like Xiaomi and Meizu are?
The biggest highlight about the OPPO N3 is its electronically-controlled rotating camera and fingerprint sensor. As for its specs, it has a 5.5-inch 1080p screen, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB, and a 16mp camera. It also has the new VOOC charger as well as a new cooling system called the "Ice Nest."

Hoping to put a dent in the county's crushing traffic, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board is considering asking for a new half-cent sales tax on November's ballot. The money could help dig subways, lay track for light rail, buy clean-air buses and fund improvements to our crumbling freeways.
Meanwhile, a bunch of evangelicals have their own plan for your autumnal ballot. They're offering up a constitutional amendment that could snatch away the marriage certificates that gays and lesbians will start getting on June 17.
Guess which measure has better odds of passing? If you said "the anti-gay initiative," you would be correct. That outcome is not based on an assumption that most Californians are homophobic, but the fact that it will take just 51% of the electorate to write discrimination into our Constitution and a whopping 67% to invest in our infrastructure and environment.
The supermajority required for transit funding -- or to pass most taxes since Proposition 13 and siblings 62 and 218 -- is frustrating but not completely imprudent. Gobs of taxpayer money shouldn't be tossed around without heavy scrutiny, especially in a state perpetually in the red. What is irrational is that any group with an agenda can fan out and gather about 690,000 signatures, and then change the California Constitution with a simple majority.

The official rules for Aggravation can be found on Central Connector. This website publishes classic board game rules and hobby-related merchandise.
Two to six players can play Aggravation, each choosing four marbles of matching colors. A dice roll of one or six starts the game. Players move their marbles along the holes by rolling the dice, adding in more marbles if they choose when rolling a one or six.
If a marble lands on another player's marble, that player is "aggravated" by having their marble sent back to base to start over. The winner is the first player to get all four marbles into their "home" area.

With Numbers of Deaths from Tuberculosis Still Staggering, Secretary-General Urges
in Message for World TB Day 'Let Us Stay on the Move in This Important Fight'
Following is the text of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message for World Tuberculosis Day, to be observed on 24 March:
As we approach the target year of 2015 for reaching the Millennium Development Goals, there is good news to report in the fight against tuberculosis (TB). The world is on track to reverse the spread of this airborne killer. Deaths from TB continue to decline. These gains owe much to the many health-care providers ‑‑ governmental and non-governmental ‑‑ patient advocates and others who have helped to treat and cure 36 million people since 1995. As a result, about 6 million lives have been saved. Our challenge now is to maintain this momentum.
The theme of this year's observance of World TB Day is "On the move against tuberculosis". The international community is indeed on the move on several fronts. Affected communities now know more about TB, thanks to public awareness campaigns. Financing for TB control continues to grow through mechanisms such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. UNITAID is supporting the provision of urgently needed medicines and diagnostics. The World Health Organization is providing policy innovation and coordinating technical support as the disease continues to evolve. The UNAIDS [Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS] campaign, "No More People Living with HIV Dying of TB", is promoting greater awareness of these interlinked epidemics. The research community has created pipelines of new diagnostics, medicines, and potential vaccines, moving forward after decades of neglect.
But progress should never distract us from the challenges. The numbers are still staggering. Last year, TB claimed 1.8 million lives, making it the second biggest infectious killer of adults worldwide. TB ranks among the top three killers of women of reproductive age. Rates of new TB illness are falling in all regions, but not yet in all countries. Overall, rates of decline are far slower than needed. Lapses in control drive the rise of multidrug-resistant TB, which is far more costly and difficult to treat, and remind us of the constant risk of setbacks.
The international community has set a goal of universal access to prevention and treatment for all forms of TB, in adults and children, and among people living with HIV. In this day and age, no one should be dying from TB. On this World TB Day, let us stay "on the move"in this important fight.

Nearly all of us have seen the myriad of debt consolidation ads on TV. There is a great deal of competition in the debt consolidation industry because sadly, lots of people are struggling financially and these companies provide much needed financial relief. Mortgages, car loans, credit cards; people can get loans from a huge variety of lenders for virtually anything these days. The problem is that all these loans are difficult to manage and if you fall behind in your monthly repayments, you can end up in a lot of trouble.
The notion behind debt consolidation is that you can take all of your existing debts together and consolidate them into one, easy to handle loan that is simpler and gives you a far clearer understanding of your financial future. For many individuals, there are a variety of benefits in consolidating your debts, and this article will examine debt consolidation thoroughly and the benefits they provide to give you a better understanding if debt consolidation is a good option for your financial position.
The Basics
Debt consolidation allows you to pay off all your current debts with a new loan that usually has different (and in many cases more desirable) interest rates and terms and conditions. There are numerous reasons why individuals use debt consolidation services.
High-Interest Rates
All loans have differing interest rates and terms and conditions, however, credit cards probably have the highest interest rates of all loans. While credit card companies frequently have a no interest period of about 1 or 2 months, the interest rates after this time can soar up to 25% or higher. If you end up in a position where you're paying 25% interest on your credit card loans, it's highly likely that your debt will increase much faster than you're able to pay it off. As a whole, debt consolidation can provide lower interest rates and better terms and conditions, which can save you a lot of money in the long-term.
Too much confusion with multiple loans
When you have numerous debts with varied interest rates and minimum repayments that are due at different times, there's no question that it can be tough to manage and can become confusing at times. This increases the chances of forgeting a repayment which can give you a bad credit rating. Debt consolidation greatly helps in this scenario by combining all of your debts into one which is far easier to take care of and gives you a clearer picture of when you'll be debt free.
High Monthly Repayments
When people are grappling with multiple debts, it's difficult to manage your cash flow due to the high minimum repayments required for each debt. Further to this, different debts have different repayment dates and this can cause people to struggle just to make ends meet. If you miss a repayment because you just don't have the money in the bank, your interest rates are likely to be increased, you can get a poor credit report, and your financial scenario can go south particularly quickly. Debt consolidation loans provide one repayment every month, and you can arrange your monthly repayment amounts depending upon the length of time you wish your loan to be.
Nonetheless, if you're interested in consolidating your debts, it's imperative that you conduct proper research to find the best debt consolidation interest rates and terms. You'll notice there's a large range of debt consolidation companies, some are good, some are bad, and some are entirely predatory. First of all, you'll want to pick a debt consolidation company that has lower interest rates and fees than all your current debts. You'll also want to take a look at the terms and conditions carefully. Various consolidation loans can be secured against your home or other assets, and you may be required to pay additional fees such as application fees, legal fees, stamp duty and valuation. The reality is, there is a great deal of research that needs to be done before you can conclude if debt consolidation is the right option for you.
As you can clearly see, there are a number of benefits associated with debt consolidation for individuals that are struggling financially. Lower interest rates and fees, lower monthly repayments, and less confusion with multiple debts can save you plenty of money in the long-term, and it's perhaps better for your psychological wellbeing too. This article isn't intended to encourage you to consolidate your debts, as it all depends upon your financial position. Because of the complexity and the many variables to consider, it's highly recommended that you seek professional advice so you can at least get an idea of what option is best for you if you're experiencing financial difficulty. In some scenarios, filing for bankruptcy is a better option, so before you make any decisions about your financial future, talk to Bankruptcy Experts Darwin on 1300 795 575 or visit their website for more details: Declaring Bankruptcy Darwin

Khaled Hosseini, author of
The Kite Runner
This collection of interviews explores the experiences of Afghan American artists residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. As part of the California Story Fund initiative, these narratives explore the history of Afghans in California through the voices of contemporary writers, artists and cultural curators. Interviewees include Khaled Hosseini author of The Kite Runner, a current New York Times Best Seller and founder of the Afghan National Gallery, Youssef Kohzad.
At 60,000 strong, the Afghan diaspora in Northern California represents the largest Afghan community outside of Asia. Many of the members of this community have recently fled war-torn Afghanistan and have sought asylum in the U.S. Evidence of the emergence of Afghan Americans in the West is supported by the unofficial naming of Fremont California — home to the largest segment of Afghan Americans in the Bay Area's "Little Kabul."
The community draws its roots to the late 1970s and early 1980s when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, launching what would turn out to be one of the longest, bloodiest conflicts of the twentieth century. Fleeing the civil war, many Afghans came to settle in the United States as refugees. Immigration continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
During the past twenty-five years, civil and proxy war has decimated Afghan art and culture. After the Mujahideen takeover of Kabul in the early 1990s, the Afghan National Museum, which housed the most diverse collection of ancient artwork in Afghanistan, was plundered. An estimated 92 percent of the National Gallery's collection has been destroyed and looted. Contemporary art pieces were in danger of decimation. The National Contemporary Museum of Modern Art in Kabul, holding over 700 art pieces with some dating back over 100 years, was pillaged. Upon taking power in 1996, the Taleban banned all forms of art in Afghanistan, including music, visual arts and dance, and many artists were forced to work in secret, if at all. Still more of Afghanistan's artists had no choice but to practice their art in exile.
Over the last decade, a florescence of Afghan art has occurred in the Afghan community in Northern California. Half a dozen of the most significant Afghan artists and writers now reside in the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the past five years, numerous Afghan American art exhibits have highlighted the longstanding achievements of older artists, as well as the emergence of a new, second-generation form of expression. This project acknowledges the important role of California as the site of the complicated cultural reconstruction and artistic representation of refugee communities.
Farhad Azad
Interviewer: Brendan Furey
Farhad Azad was born in Kabul, Afghanistan and moved to the US at a young age. In 1997, Azad created afghanmagazine.com to bring awareness to the arts and culture of the Afghan people. Along with publishing afghanmagazine.com, he is actively involved in promoting the work of Afghan artists, writers and musicians.
Khaled Hosseini
Interviewer: Brendan Furey
Born in Kabul, his family moved to Paris in 1976, where his father worked at a diplomatic post. Though scheduled to return to Afghanistan in 1980, the family was wary of the impact of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and requested political asylum in the United States. He attended Santa Clara University and graduated from the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, in 1993 and has since worked as an internist.
His first novel, The Kite Runner, is the story of a young boy, Amir, juggling to establish a closer rapport with his father and coping from a haunting childhood event that would redefine the rest of his life. Set in Afghanistan from the fall of the monarchy until the collapse of the Taliban regime to the immigrant haven of California's Bay Area. The novel was published in 2003.
His next novel about Afghanistan, "Dreaming In Titanic City" will be published by Riverhead Books in thse summer of 2006.
From 1966-1969 he held executive positions at the Ministry of Media and Culture, in which he was the head of the Fine Arts Department. In 1971 he became the artistic consultant of Kabul Theater. He wrote eight dramas and all were played on stage. In many of the plays, he played the lead role. In 1975 he returned to the Ministry of Media and Culture and held the position as the president of the ministry until 1992. In 1976, he founded the National Gallery in Kabul, which included 700 paintings, and some work dating back a hundred years. Unfortunately, out of the 700 works of art only 30 remain today. From 1992 until August 2000, Kohzad became a refugee along with his family and was forced to immigrate to India. In August 2000, he moved to the US and has been residing in Northern California since then. His first art exhibit in the US was held in August 2001 in Palo Alto.
Along with painting, Kohzad is also an accomplished poet, short story writer and novelist. He has published three books: Aspects of Beauty in Art; Kohzad: A Collection of Poetry; and a novel When God Created Beauty.

In this week's Goldmark Roundup film Discover writer Max talks about new David Jones wood and copper engravings to come into the gallery, oval teapots by Danish potter Anne Mette Hjortshøj, and a surprise visit by gallery artist Christopher P. Wood.
This weekend we've also sent out an April catalogue of choice original works at the gallery by artists such as Edward Bawden, Peter Kinley, and Derrick Greaves.
This Monday we posted a Profile of artist and writer David Jones to coincide with a new collection of beautiful wood engravings and a set of copper engravings illustrating Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner that have come into the gallery.
Jones worked under the infamous letter carver and sculptor Eric Gill at his artistic commune in Ditchling in the early 1920s. Both his written work, which included the prose-poem In Parenthesis, and his engravings were acclaimed by important writers and critics such as T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, and Sir Kenneth Clark, who believed Jones to be an artistic genius.
Jones' copper engravings for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a suite of prints filled with mysterious symbolism and spiritual imagery, are widely considered his most visionary work in the medium and remain as potent today as when they were first produced back in 1928.
View our collection of David Jones works here >
We also posted a short film this week of Danish potter Anne Mette Hjortshøj discussing her gorgeous oval teapots in her studio on the island of Bornholm.
We have been showcasing Anne Mette's work since 2012 when we held her first UK exhibition here at the gallery and can safely say she is one of our best loved potters by customers and staff alike. Producing beautiful functional pieces like her oval dishes and straight-sided bowls, Anne Mette's pots barely make it out of their boxes from Denmark before they're snapped up by visitors to the gallery.
We are currently scheduled to have a second show of Anne Mette's work later in the year; until then, look our for new pots on the website here.
View ceramics by Anne Mette Hjortshøj here >
This weekend we sent out a small catalogue with a wonderful collection of some of our best original works stocked at the gallery. Included in the selection are works by John Piper, Edward Bawden, Peter Kinley, and Derrick Greaves as well as a number of other major artists.
Important new acquisitions are constantly landing at the Goldmark Gallery and often sell before we've had the chance to publish them online. Our April catalogue represents a choice number of some of those pieces and we hope you'll find something to enjoy. Work in the catalogue can be viewed here on our website.
View our latest arrivals at the gallery here >
We also had a surprise visit from gallery artist Christopher P. Wood this week who came to drop off some exciting new work he's been developing for us. We've been working with Chris for a number of years now exhibiting his work and printing new editions at our Goldmark atelier and are amazed at some of the extraordinary technical innovations he has been playing with in his paintings and prints.
Chris' work offers a window into strange and surreal magical worlds populated by mystic figures and bizarre creatures. You can see some of his work here on our website.

The Dagger Dynamo junior kayak. The Dynamo is one of the most popular junior kayaks on the market. The over all style is that of a general river runner but sized to suit the kids. A bit narrower around the knees combined with a lower deck makes it easy for smaller paddlers to reach out and plant the paddle properly. A smaller cockpit is easy to get in and out of but allows better grip with the kness for more control. The foot rests are adjustable and the right length for little legs. Forgiving river performance from a soft edged hull means its great for learning on flat water, white water and in the waves. It looks cool too - so get one of these and the kids will love it! A really popular youth boat.
No spam, just great offers and news

Sea Shepherd
From Conservapedia
Sea Shepherd is a radical animal rights and environmentalist group founded by Paul Watson in 1978, after his expulsion from Greenpeace because Greenpeace wasn't radical enough for him. Watson had been a co-founder of the Greenpeace Foundation in 1972. Specifically, he was expelled in 1977 over whether using "direct action" against seal hunters was justified. Sea Shepherd's actions have included scuttling two Icelandic whaling ships in 1985, in which animal rights activist Rodney Coronado participated, and ramming Japanese whaling ships at sea and throwing stink bombs at them.
