Trump Snaps At Bill Clinton: He 'Doesn't Know Much' About Winning
The Gist: President-elect Donald Trump snapped at Bill Clinton on Twitter Tuesday morning, after it was reported that the former President said earlier this month that Trump "didn't know much" except "how to get angry, white men to vote for him."
McConnell Doesn't Want A Select Panel Investigating Russian Hacking
The Gist: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is opposed to forming a select committee to investigate reports that Russia meddled in the U.S. Election.
Out With The Old, In With The New: Meet The Dems Who Will Defend Obamacare
The Gist: The frontline of Democrats defending Obamacare from a GOP repeal in the new year looks a whole lot different than the lineup of lawmakers who fought for its passage in 2009-10.
Former Speaker of the House and current Trump adviser Newt Gingrich said Monday that the President-elect could simply pardon members of his administration who broke anti-nepotism laws. TPM's Matt Shaham reported that this was a break with Gingrich's past statements on the matter: In November, Gingrich said he thought Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, would need a waiver from Congress in order to serve in any official capacity.
Josh Marshall: "I remember thinking of this ominous parallel as the US forced its war in Iraq, even after the notional premise for threatening war - the return of weapons inspectors - had been conceded. This pessimism, this need to provoke or escalate crises, is the root of all sorts of mischief. It is the best prism through which to understand the increasingly unstable moment we are now living through. Which countries if any want a general war? Which countries, if any, believe they can gain from one and at what cost? And how do we collectively prevent any major power from believing its interests can best be secured or only be secured by war?"
"When it [comes to] those type of things, do you keep your child home from school and take him the next morning to the doctor because of a cold or a flu, versus take him into the emergency room? If you don't have a cost difference, you'll make different decisions."
- Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI) outlined the way he would like to see the health care system operate if Obamacare is repealed, using an example of when he waited until the morning after to take his youngest son to the doctor with an injured arm, because he did not want to waste money on an expensive emergency room visit. The arm, it turned out, was broken.
From a TPM Prime member: "In my opinion, people who don't vote are not anyone's supporters. There may be non-voters that hold beliefs and ideals that line up with those of the Democratic party, but if they don't vote, they don't support anyone, not even themselves. We need to grow supporters who understand that the things they want, and the things they believe in, will only happen if they continually participate in the process, i.e., voting (among other things). They also need to understand that this participation is a lifetime commitment, not a one-night stand. One lesson that we must take away from this year's election is that this won't be a quick fix."

To communicate effectively with others, establish friendships, positive social relationships, and be perceived as a likable human being, a person must first demonstrate good social skills.
Social skills for children are the most important set of abilities that they have. Having great social skills help you meet interesting people, get that job you want, progress further in your career and relationships. Some people just naturally blessed with , good social skills and easy, smooth conversation.
But the lack of good social skills can make life lonely, causing anxiety and depression. We get depressed and anxious when we dont meet our fundamental human needs. And the need to socialize, to connect with others is fundamental. We all need social contact. But its a trap to assume that you either have social skills, or you dont.
Sure, some people find it easier to relax around people, talk and listen confidently naturally. But like any set of skills, social skills can be learned, honed and developed by anyone. And social skills training are a vital part of building confidence.
Building good relationships with other people can greatly reduce stress and anxiety in your life. In fact, improving your social support is linked to better mental health in general, since having good friends can act as a buffer for feelings of anxiety and low mood. This is especially true if you are socially anxious and desperately want to make friends but are either too fearful to do so or are unsure about how to reach out to others. As a result of these anxious feelings, you may even be avoiding social situations.
Therapeutic intervention to help a child with social skills difficulties is important to:
Help a child to engage appropriately with others during play, conversation and in interactions.
Help a child to develop friendships at school and when accessing out of school activities (e.g., playing sport, attending a group such as Scouts).
Help a child maintain friendships with peers.
Help a child to behave appropriately during interactions with familiar people (e.g., parents, siblings, teachers, family friends) and unfamiliar individuals (e.g., adults and children they may need to engage with during excursions and when visiting places, such as the park or swimming pool).
Assist a child in developing their awareness of social norms and to master specific social skills (e.g., taking turns in a conversation, using appropriate eye contact, verbal reasoning, understanding figurative language).
Develop appropriate social stories to help teach the child about how to respond in specific social situations.
Some children require explicit teaching about how to interact and communicate with others as these skills do not come naturally to them.
When children have difficulties with social skills, they might also have difficulties with:
Making new friends.
Maintaining friendships with peers.
Communicating effectively with unfamiliar individuals during situations including asking for assistance in a shop, asking for directions if they are lost and negotiating with someone with whom they have disagreed.
Reading/understanding social situations.
Understanding jokes and figurative language during interactions with others, and when watching television shows and movies and reading books.
Coping with failure.
What type of therapy is recommended for social skill difficulties?
If your child has difficulties with social skills, it is recommended they consult a . If there are multiple areas of concern (i.e., beyond just social skills), both Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy may well be recommended to address the functional areas of concern. This is the benefit of choosing Kid Sense provides both Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy.
A major goal of social skills training is teaching persons who may or may not have emotional problems about the verbal as well as nonverbal behaviours involved in social interactions. Many people have never been taught such interpersonal skills as making "small talk" in social settings, or the importance of good eye contact during a conversation.

Modern fiberglass entry doors are highly customizable, withstand severe weather conditions better than other materials, and have good insulating properties. Quality fiberglass doors are visually indistinguishable from wood doors, but are far more durable.
Fiberglass doors handle heat and humidity, as well as extremely cold temperatures, without warping or rotting. They require minimal maintenance, and do not need to be painted or refinished as they age, yet are easy to paint for a new look if the homeowner wants a change. Although fiberglass doors cost more than standard wood, steel or vinyl doors, they are cheaper than fine wood doors.

Nowadays, even brink-and-mortar businesses need to build a strong online presence. The reason is extremely simple: consumers use the internet as the main source of information when it comes to searching for products and services meaning that all you have to do after creating a professional website is to wait for them to contact…
Women in Development is an approach which is aimed at defining and improving the role that women play in developmental projects. At the beginning WID had a similar vision with Gender and Development but over the years they parted ways due to the fact that one was aimed at improving the role that women played in progress while the other one was just highlighting gender differences.
Self development is a concept that embodies many activities aimed at improving ourselves in order to achieve our goals. The first and most important steps of a personal development process are self awareness and self knowledge. If we find our personal identity and define our path in life we will have better chances at finding happiness.
Rural development is very important from a social and economical point of view, especially in remote areas where people still live like hundreds of years ago, employing primitive farming methods and struggling to find drinking water, and where education is lacking.
The best sustainable development definition is to say that it is a type of human development where gathering the resources of human needs is done without disturbing the environment and its natural systems, so that these human needs can be satisfied for future generations as well.
Across the globe there is no balance between the stages of the development of different societies. Social development methods are given very little importance especially in the educational system. Given the fact that this system is the one that integrates people in society's structure it should be more focused on children social skills.
In order for a region to prosper it requires a certain economic environment which needs to be regulated by the appropriate policy makers. This requires small taxes as well as funding for new businesses. Furthermore supporting local small business can help them develop which will eventually lead to more jobs.

Thursday, 10 November 2011 07:54 PM
Members of Congress from both parties are open to revisions in a Republican plan to raise $300 billion by overhauling the tax code, Democratic and Republican congressional aides said, even as lawmakers publicly rejected competing debt-cutting proposals.
Members of the supercommittee have talked about a higher top marginal income tax rate than the 28 percent proposed this week by Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, a Republican congressional aide and a Senate Democratic leadership aide said in separate interviews. Democrats also want additional sources of new revenue such as ending certain corporate tax expenditures, the Democratic staff member said.
Each side is waiting for the other to make the next move, the Democratic aide said. The Republican staff member said Toomey's plan was intended as a framework and not a final offer. Neither aide was authorized to speak publicly.
"Not much has happened" since the two sides "reached an impasse" two nights ago, Senator Jon Kyl, an Arizona Republican on the supercommittee, said today.
Publicly, members of the 12-member, bipartisan supercommittee were downbeat about prospects for a deal to cut $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Congress set a Nov. 23 deadline for the panel to reach agreement. Failure to enact a plan by the end of the year would trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts in 2013.
"What we still haven't seen from the Democrats is a plan that deals with our structural debt crisis, that actually solves the problem," said Texas Representative Jeb Hensarling, the Republican co-chairman of the panel. Still, he said, discussions are continuing and "I haven't given up hope."
One on One
Republican and Democratic members on the supercommittee have met one-on-one over the past couple of days in an attempt to find common ground.
"We are in a good frame of mind; people are in serious discussions," said Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, a Democrat on the panel. Another Democratic member, Max Baucus of Montana, said, "Things are moving well. There are ongoing talks."
Some Democrats on the committee are proposing a $2.3 trillion deficit-reduction plan with equal amounts of spending cuts and tax increases, which Republicans publicly rejected.
The Democratic proposal includes a so-called trigger that would raise $650 billion if the U.S. tax code isn't revamped by Jan. 1, 2013, according to a document offered to supercommittee members. Tax writers would receive instructions to cap individual tax rates at 35 percent, overhaul corporate taxation and maintain the code's current progressivity.
Tax Deductions
Democrats presented the offer to Republicans on Nov. 7. During the same meeting, Toomey outlined his proposal that included some net tax increases by reducing individual deductions and exclusions, which primarily benefit the wealthy, in exchange for lower rates, according to a Republican aide and a Democratic aide familiar with the plans.
Toomey's proposal would reduce the top individual tax rate from 35 percent under current law to 28 percent.
The six Democrats and six Republicans on the panel remain hundreds of billions of dollars apart on tax revenue.
Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Senate Democrat, said today his party may ultimately have to accept a deal with less revenue than spending cuts. "We're likely to have something different" than what his party has been seeking, he said, calling the Republican plan "some progress."
"We have a big gap with respect to where we are on revenues," Kerry said yesterday.
Significant Step
At the same time, Republicans and some Democrats described the Toomey proposal as a significant step toward breaking Republicans' no-tax-increase stance.
"Republicans have put revenues on the table," said Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the No. 3 Republican in the chamber. "Democrats have put entitlements on the table. We need to put more of each on the table and get a result."
Under the Democratic outline, the supercommittee would cut the federal budget deficit by $2.3 trillion over the next decade, with $1 trillion each coming from spending cuts and revenue and $300 billion from interest savings. Democrats' proposal last month called for $1.3 trillion in additional tax revenue.
The revenue increases would start with what the document described as a $350 billion "down payment" of "miscellaneous revenue provisions."
The Democratic plan also would include $350 billion in cuts to Medicare, with $250 billion from providers and $100 billion from beneficiaries. An additional $200 billion in cuts would come from other mandatory programs. The plan would include $400 billion in cuts to discretionary programs, with $200 billion from defense and $200 billion from non-defense programs.
Entitlement Cuts
The cuts in entitlement programs would take effect only upon enactment of a tax-code overhaul or implementation of the trigger under the Democratic plan.
Toomey's proposal would generate about $300 billion in additional tax revenue when compared with the revenue that would be raised by extending tax cuts scheduled to expire in 2012. In addition, Republicans propose generating several hundred billion dollars from non-tax-revenue sources, such as asset sales.
According to Republicans, their proposal would cut about $1.2 trillion from the budget deficit over 10 years, with about $700 billion of that amount coming from spending reductions.

What phones did you use?
I had mentioned in the first AIO Thread that I would try out AIO Service. Now, I have. I've also utilized AT&T's $60/2gb goPhone plan. So, I have a fair point of comparison.
AIO - Pros:
1. Unlimited 3G data after throttle
2. Great customer service ($15 refund and credit due to small issues)
3. Lenient data policy
AIO - Cons
1. No outside numbers allowed (area code ports)
2. Throttled "high speed" data
GoPhone - PRos:
1. Treated as an AT&T postpaid consumer (I got mailed two free replaccemnets of my Galaxy S4)
2. Unthrottled access to AT&T Network
GoPhone - Cons:
1. Small amount of data
2. Higher monthly cost
As you can see, there really isn't any difference between them, except the unlimited data on AIO. A word, here. It's actually unlimited. Beyond tethering and torrenting, there aren't any limits past the high speed allotment. If you're like me, and are wondering what the backend differences between them were, I'll do my best to explain. For instance... I have LTE. it's generally 12-18 mbps on AT&T branded plans. On this plan, it's capped at 8. Ping times and uploads still remain almost the same! Speaking with an AT&T official, there aren't any differences with how customers are treated on the network. I get much better HSPA reception than 4 other Straight Talk users, just like on GoPhone.This points to a higher subscriber priority for AT&T subscribers.
A word on the APN settings. I added them myself, initially. However, they actually sent me a network update with all of the correct settings within 30 minutes of activation. The major difference between this and the "phone" APN appears to be that the APN is ndo vs phone. MMS is routed through AIO servers. APN type for AIO reads the same as AT&T - default,supl,hipri.
So, any questions, feel free to ask! I want to start a lively discussion about it. Also, if you want me to get you a SIM, I'm happy to get one for you. Be warned, you'll need a new number!

**please see terms and conditions for limits on our unlimited plans
What phones did you use?
did you buy the phone from aio or an att store?
I bought it from AT&T with a gophone $60 plan a tad over a month ago. its factory AT&T stock. no root, not unlocked. works fine.
Is it unlimited 3G or 2G data after being throttled? Is it fast enough to stream Netflix or Hulu?
Sent with the HoFo App
@bteague13 - It is unlimited 3G I believe, meaning the HSPA network. and, you're throttled to 256k. I tried the dude's iP5 in store, and he had used up all of his high speed data. I was able to load a maroon 5 music vid at medium quality with an addition of like 8 seconds. When I use up my own allotment, I'll be sure to post up a speedtest... The guy tried to sell me on the 2 gb plan, stating that the slowed speeds weren't significantly worse for everyday tasks. I always take that with a grain of salt after dealing with ST for a year.
att made Elpidio sign a contract to get his s4. i want a moto x and asked where you got your phone in hopes i would try harder when the moto x shows up at att. any magic used in the purchase?
No magic mo-jo that I know of. I do know the guys down there though, and I'd called the office of the president about availability in store. If you want, I can PM the number to you? I think it may depend on the store, but I'm not positive.
yes please. the moto x is coming soon.
The Moto X has a really nice specs, close to plain Android as you can get. I was thinking that since it's Google/Motorola, probably be available from Google Store. I'm not a speed freak, don't use much data, but I want that data available when its needed.
On AIO Wireless, there is a guessing game to guess where the next AIO will be implemented, ie, coming to four cities near you. I see AIO has put out some feelers to hire employees in the Dallas, TX area.
That may be good for me, since they also have a data for tablet only plan.
so what are u saying ,,do u prefere the AIO over the gophone plan,,, an are u useing the $40 plan on aio or the $55 ..
u also said that they sent u the apn settings with in 30 min,,, what did u have to do when u got them just do the update an then it set them for u
Stangjames - I like this plan MUCH better than the gophone plan. For $10 more a month, I get 3.5 times more LTE data, and unlimited internet throttled. To answer your question, I have the $70 plan. When I mentioned the APN settings.... theres a story there
I was assured I wouldn't need to add the APN settings in store. I didnt believe them, and demanded the settings printed out. Walking out towards my car, I started manually inputting the settings. As soon as I clicked on APN, my GS4 popped up with a "network update" that changed my default APN settings.
HOWEVER - the default AT&T APN works fine without editing. There isnt any performance difference, which is quite telling. See the carrier name; see the APN type. Interesting, right?
Sent with the HoFo App
AIO APN settings here:
Name: Internet
APN: ndo
MMSC: http://mmsc.aiowireless.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.aiowireless.net
MMS Port: 80
APN type: default,supl,mms,fota,hipri
We can deduce that they defenitly use rye same backend. What do yall think?

The Tottenham paid may have been happy to get away from the pressure at White Hart Lane.
Argentina players, including Tottenham duo Erik Lamela and Federico Fazio, looked at ease as they gathered in a hotel room in Manchester ahead of their next international fixture.
Valencia defender Nicolas Otamendi captured nine of the squad posing for a picture before uploading it to his Twitter account.
Mateando con la banda pic.twitter.com/jLKy3oEXxQ— Nicolas (@Notamendi30) November 15, 2014
Both Spurs players featured in the win over Croatia a couple of days ago, with Fazio playing the full 90 minutes in the centre of defence and Lamela coming on as a late substitute.
They are set to face a Portugal side led by record European Championship scorer Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday night, in what will be a meeting of Angel di Maria and the Real Madrid star at Old Trafford, a place of importance to both players of course.
Fazio will be looking to push on once he returns to Spurs, given the fact that he has been underwhelming in his minimal games so far in North London. The former Sevilla man has received his marching orders in 2 of his 8 games, also giving away 2 penalties.
Lamela will also be eager to win his place back in the starting line up, having found himself on the substitutes bench for the last two Premier League fixtures.

CAIRO — Libya's parliament speaker said Sunday he was the subject of an assassination attempt during a visit to the southern city of Sebha, Egypt's state-run Middle East News Agency reported.
Mohammed Magariaf said on Libyan state television that the hotel in which he was staying in the southern town came under attack and his personal security exchanged fire with the attackers over a period of three hours, MENA reported. The incident took place two days ago, MENA cited him as saying.
Meanwhile, a security official in the Libyan city of Benghazi told The Associated Press that police are searching for a senior official who was abducted while investigating the recent assassination of the city's police chief.
The official told AP on Saturday that Lt. Col. Abdel-Salam al-Mahdawi was abducted from a Benghazi street late Wednesday when assailants pulled him from a vehicle. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
Al-Mahdawi heads Benghazi's criminal investigations unit tasked with looking into the November killing of National Security chief Col. Farag el-Dersi in the city.

Original Sheet No. 305 Original Sheet No. 305
19.1 General:
This Section 19 sets forth the sole means by which a Shipper under Rate
Schedule FT ("Releasing Shipper") may release its firm capacity rights under
a FT TSA with Transporter to a third party ("Replacement Shipper"). This
Section 19 pertains solely to release of firm capacity rights under a FT TSA
for subsequent service under Rate Schedule FT.
19.2 Capacity Eligible For Release:
A Releasing Shipper with a FT TSA may release all or any part of its firm
capacity pursuant to this Section 19. In the case of segmented capacity
releases, for the MDQ released, the upstream segment Shipper shall be
permitted to nominate as a secondary point all points both upstream of the
Receipt Point and in the same direction as the Releasing Shipper's Primary
Path, and the downstream segment Shipper shall be permitted to nominate as a
secondary point all points both downstream of the Delivery Point and in the
same direction as the Releasing Shipper's Primary Path, provided that the
nominations of the Releasing and Replacement Shippers do not result in an
overlap with another capacity release transaction.
19.3 Types of Releases:
(a) Permanent Release: A Releasing Shipper may release all or part of
its firm capacity under a FT TSA for the entire remaining term of the FT TSA
("Permanent Release") under this Section 19. A Permanent Release is an
assignment of capacity and any associated rights of the Releasing Shipper

to and for the primary term remaining under the Releasing Shipper's FT TSA,
unless Transporter agrees otherwise in a nondiscriminatory manner.
Furthermore, the Replacement Shipper must contract for the Primary Receipt
Point(s) and Primary Delivery Point(s) specifically stated in a Releasing
Shipper's offer of firm capacity.
(b) Release by Replacement Shipper: The Replacement Shipper then has
the right to release its capacity on a permanent or temporary basis under
the terms and conditions of this Section 19. Upon the successful completion

As any photographer knows, there's an immeasurable gap between a photographer's talent and their ability to actually make a living from their photographs. After a photograph is produced, it's no longer the art of photography that will decide its fate but the art of business.
The web, in 2010 is in constant transition offering many platforms for exposure and different revenue options, but consequently the competition intensifies as well. After designing your photography website It's easy to get lost in the big ocean, you might find that you're spreading yourself too thin. Focusing your efforts is like planting a seed and watching it grow. In the business of photography the seed is your niche.
The Niche
Creating your own specialty or specialties, if you have more then one, lets you stand out from the crowd. It gives you the title of an expert, setting you apart from the stock photo sites, which intimidate smalltime buyers looking for a single image. This is where you come in – choosing your niche is targeting your market. Your niche can still be wide, "business" or "nature" are two popular examples. If you succeed to dominate a niche, there's a good chance you'll start seeing a steady income. Your niche will help you focus while optimizing your photography website and helping you with SEO.
Your Website, Your Rules
As well as showcasing your work, your website allows you to skip over the middle man and sell your images directly using Wix' shopping cart. Make sure your website is cleverly structured so clients can easily navigate and find what they're looking for. If you're a nature photographer, don't throw in your Savanna and Yosemite photos into one gallery. Segmentation and categorizing work best.
Divide and Rule
If you happen to be offering a multitude of products and services you might consider creating more than one website. Separate, well defined, focused niches work better than one giant supermarket. For instance, Daniel and Rachel Ballard specialize in underwear photography. Their "single service" approach is a powerful one. It makes their clients feel they're in good, dedicated and professional hands. If Daniel and Rachel were to expand their services to top model photography they'd require an additional website.
The point is that in order to succeed you need to create multiple revenue streams. These might range from nature to stock photography, postcards to prints, etc. The thing to avoid is creating a website that portrays you as Jack of all Trades (and master of none).
Rome wasn't built in a day, starting a small successful photography business isn't going to happen over night. It requires beautiful images, hard work and persistence. Use the web to your advantage; promote your photography website using your specific niche in relevant social networks and stock photography agencies. Your name will slowly spread through the web and the hard work will start paying off.

"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable twist, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."
-2 Peter 3:16
"Speak no ill of the dead' is an ancient piece of advice that many of us try to follow to one extent or another. In that spirit, then, I will now have a look at the birth chart of Fred Phelps, founding pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church, who died Wednesday evening.
Phelps (born November 13, 1929, time unknown, Meridian Mississippi) was a Scorpio with a Moon-Uranus conjunction in Aries. Like most Scorpios, he took things in life pretty seriously — whether it was his love of the Gospel or the delight he took in leading his congregation (about 60 of them, mostly members of his extended family) to protest at funerals of children, veterans, and celebrities, or approving the lyrics to such rousing popular song parodies as "Santa Claus Will Take You To Hell," "Sweet Judgement Time" (to the tune of "Sweet Caroline"), "Fifty Ways To Eat Your Baby," and the popular "Makes Us So Happy" (to the tune of "Hava Nagila," and featuring the stirring lyrics "Je-ru-sa-lem's the spot /The battle will rage hot/The land will spew you out /With joy we shout!") There is no word at this time if there will be any dance remixes issued in Fred's honor.
Like many people with a Moon-Uranus conjunction, he was fond of technology and communicating his ideas, whether through his Church's many web sites like "Godhatestheworld.com" or its many subsidiaries, such as JewsKilledJesus.com, GodHatesIndia.com, GodHatesFags.com, GodHatesRussia.com, or GodHatesSweden.com.
(Really? Sweden? it must be the lutefisk. I never did trust that stuff.)
He had a Mercury-Pluto trine, which made him fond of making forceful statements such as "Homosexuals and Jews dominated Nazi Germany… just as they now dominate this doomed U.S.A" and "Anybody babbling about 'multicultural affairs' and 'celebrating diversity' is a propagandist for the militant sodomite agenda" and "Thank God for Tsunami. Thank God for 3,000 dead Americans! Yes! Thank God for Sept. 11 and 3,000 dead sodomite Americans in 2001."
He had Jupiter in Gemini, yet despite this, he lived into his 80s without a single laugh line on his face. There are pictures of him smiling, but they bear an uncanny resemblance to the "rictus grin," the smile that appears on the faces of some poisoning victims.
Would anyone else with any or all of these factors in their birth chart be so… so very…
Oh, who am I kidding? I can't do this any more. Fred Phelps was a terrible person, and the world is a better place without him. Saying that his vileness came from this placement or that aspect would be a grave insult to the many fine people who have those in their birth chart… or for that matter, even to most of the terrible people who might have similar factors in their charts.
I like to believe there's a God who has welcomed Fred into the peaceful, forgiving light of a Heaven of some sort, somewhere… but if that God has a sense of humor, there are probably signs and protesters that are, at least temporarily, keeping him standing outside the gates for a while.

I see the blog has clicked past 5 million views. How many actual viewers there have been is unknown; I do not believe there was any kind of counter up for the first five years or so.
In any case, I do not look at stats very often, as I do not care. While some bloggers break their fingernails trying to bring in readers, creating parallel Facebook accounts, cross-listing themselves in every aggregator they can find, and allowing anonymous commentators to fuel flame wars, I have not. Quite the opposite. I did not start this blog to generate readers, but as a way to supplement what the dogs teach me. My goal was to create a disciplined program of reading and writing in order to help myself learn. At that level, it has been a success.
This blog pulled in 110,438 viewers last month. That's not too many, but probably OK for a one-man effort. After all, I have a real job, a family, and I actually do a few things with the dogs.
While writing this post, I checked to see where folks were coming from, and there was a referral from some site called "blogmetrics" (I have never heard of it before) which says this blog is #14 in the top 50 pet blogs, behind "Cute Overload," "Puppy in Training," and "Nanny Goat in Panties."
Right. Glad not to be on top then!
Enough. Time to go out and work with the pups. They will not be young for long.

abbreviaviation for Zone of Discretion. A time and place when it is improper to discuss certain objects, events or people. As a verb it serves as a warning that whatever is being discussed is about to be heard by someone not meant to hear. The imperative is "Z.O.D!", and is used as a warning. When the Z.O.D. is invoked the discussion of that topic must end immediately.
Argy and K-hole are talking about a slut at school. As Argy gets ready to describe her terrible B.O., the slut approaches from behind Argy. K-Hole says "I think you should Z.O.D. that."
K-Hole is discussing his love of blowing up frat boys cars and scooters while walking down the street while passing a cop not seen by K-Hole. Argy says "Z.O.D. that for later."

A rune in Diablo 2: LoD, noted for being damn near impossible to find. Renders any item into which it is socketed indestructable. Usefulness, except as a trading item was diminished in the 1.09 patch, when socketing a zod into something would reduce the durability of the item to zero. Supposedly, the reason this was discovered in 1.09 was that Blizzard managed to get a patch out before someone could find one. Yes, they are that rare, or at least seem to be.These can go for many dozens of SoJs, and even dozens of real-life dollars.

All Nespresso machines use the same range of capsules and basic capsule coffee systems to prepare a yummy cup of coffee for you. To get the best Nespresso machine for you, first think about what kind of coffee you want to make to satisfy your appetite. If you want a swift espresso shot in the mornings then save some cash and look for a coffee machine model that don't have a milk frothing feature. Take a look at the following Nespresso machine reviews and choose the one that fits your style.
Best 5 Nespresso Coffee Machines for You
#1 Nespresso Citiz C111
This is also one of the most compact Nespresso machines. The modern design is available in three different colors. It takes around 30 seconds to produce a shot of espresso and the milk frother is easy to use to make your cappuccino. The cleaning process is really simple and you can disassemble and assemble the machine with ease.
It's foldable to accommodate a short or even a tall cup of coffee with just a push.
The Citiz shuts off automatically after 30 minutes to conserve energy.
You may also set your own preferred volume by simply pressing one of the brew buttons down to get the intensity you'd like.
#2 Nespresso Pixie
While the Nespresso CitiZ is compact, the Pixie is even smaller. It has a bigger water reservoir than Nespresso CitiZ. Thought Pixie has a smaller reservoir as compared to CitiZ, but hass a flashing light which warns you when the water level is low. This is a solid as well as compact espresso machine.
This ultra-compact machine brews one perfect cup at a time.
Works exclusively with Nespresso's premium coffee capsules for locked-in freshness and convenience with no mess.
Brewing is fully automatic – simply pop in a coffee capsule & select your cup size.
#3 Nespresso Inissia
The Nespresso Inissia is the most affordable Nespresso machine. It can hold 11 capsules easily. In order to get the smaller price tag, Nespresso created this machine with economical parts. The bulk of its components are made from plastic, as opposed to stainless steel or aluminum. Inissia is the cheapest Nespresso machine and is a great choice for those on a budget that simply want to give this whole home espresso thing a try.
Inissia comes in a vibrant color palette to suit all tastes.
With is compact size, it can be fitted in any home settings, from kitchen or living room to guest room.
Inissia neither compromises quality nor functionality.
It heats up in just 25 seconds.
#4 Nespresso Vertuoline
For something a bit different, there is Nespresso Vertuoline. This is actually the combination of an espresso machine and normal coffee maker in one. Vertuoline will let you taste both simple coffee or an espresso coffee, appetizing your taste buds. Vertuoline uses two different sized capsules to recognize the type of coffee you are preparing. The espresso capsules are smaller in size.
There are 12 different capsules to choose from.
There is also a decaffeinated capsule and even a half-café option.
Operating this machine is as simple as operating single serve coffee maker.
#5 DeLonghi Silver Lattissima
This is a sleek Nespresso DeLonghi U Milk machine that can brew in just 25 seconds and has a water tank that's movable. It has an incorporated Aeroccino Plus hot and cold milk frother to make lattes and cappuccinos. It has a soft-touch interface that has three pre-programmed cup sizes and an adjustable magnetic cup support for each size.
It heats water to within 25 seconds to brewing temperature and has an integrated Aeroccino milk frother for fast cappuccinos, lattes and other milky favorites
This machine has indicators to let you know when the water tank is almost empty and when the capsule container is full.
This is one of the cleanest coffee machines you can get thanks to clever no-drip technology.
Here, we have listed the best 5 Nespresso coffee machines for you that can prepare coffee according to your needs. Moreover, the machines are sleek and portable too. So, you can definitely eye over these machines and buy any of them to fulfill your coffee needs every day.

Pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and death are central in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Saturated fatty acids cause β-cell failure and contribute to diabetes development in genetically predisposed individuals.
Here we used RNA-sequencing to map transcripts expressed in five palmitate-treated human islet preparations, observing 1,325 modified genes. Palmitate induced fatty acid metabolism and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Functional studies identified novel mediators of adaptive ER stress signaling. Palmitate modified genes regulating ubiquitin and proteasome function, autophagy and apoptosis. Inhibition of autophagic flux and lysosome function contributed to lipotoxicity. Palmitate inhibited transcription factors controlling β-cell phenotype including PAX4 and GATA6. 59 type 2 diabetes candidate genes were expressed in human islets, and 11 were modified by palmitate. Palmitate modified expression of 17 splicing factors and shifted alternative splicing of 3,525 transcripts. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of modified transcripts and genes confirmed that top changed functions related to cell death. DAVID analysis of transcription binding sites in palmitate-modified transcripts revealed a role for PAX4, GATA and the ER stress response regulators XBP1 and ATF6.
This human islet transcriptome study identified novel mechanisms of palmitate-induced β-cell dysfunction and death. The data point to crosstalk between metabolic stress and candidate genes at the β-cell level.

My 20 year old son has always been thin and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 18 months ago with a blood glucose of 700 mg/dl [38.9 mmol/L]). Every three months when he goes in for a check-up, we've insisted on running tests, his C-peptide is within normal range and he tests negative to antibodies every time. He appears to have good control, yet he has occasional periods of extreme lows, and due to rebound effect, it seems to take him over a week to stabilize. He doesn't take much insulin (less than the amount I've seen suggested for body weight), and his doctor has said he has severe lows because he will spontaneously produce insulin.
For a while his doctor had him on pills, but after a time took him off the pills, and his now on Lantus with Humalog. Since being on insulin he has gained weight, but certainly isn't overweight. I'm an extremely confused. I have questioned what is going on since my son has no antibodies. Should we be requesting he be treated as someone with type 2 diabetes and have him on pills instead of insulin?
It is sometimes difficult to establish the precise type of diabetes that an individual has. It is precisely for this reason, such as situations like your son, we don't use the terms of "juvenile onset" and "adult onset" diabetes, but is not always easy.
As for type 1 versus type 2 diabetes in your son, my approach would be the following, depending on answers to some questions. In a thin 20 year old who had a blood glucose of 700 mg/dl [38.9 mmol/L], I would also treat him as someone with type 1 and would provide insulin, almost regardless of how "little" he needed. Did he present with ketosis also? He is probably in the "honeymoon phase" of diabetes, which explains why his doses of insulin had been able to be diminished, but I personally would not try aggressively to get him off insulin. He must check his glucose levels frequently. There is a late-onset, antibody-negative form of type 1 diabetes. Perhaps it is due to anti-pancreatic antibodies that we don't yet identify. Perhaps, your son's doctor is not requesting the most sensitive type of antibodies to measure or is sending the blood to a less accurate lab. You might wish to confirm that they have requested GAD-65 and ICA-512 antibodies. Good labs would be Barbara Davis Diabetes Center in Denver, University of Miami, University of Florida in Gainesville, Esoterix Reference labs, and perhaps others that might include Mayo Clinic reference labs or Quest-Nichols lab in California. I don't think testing every three months for antibodies is cost-effective.
The presence of C-peptide does not confirm that this is type 2 diabetes. However, a special test that your doctor might want to consider is called an intravenous glucose tolerance test in order to measure the "first-phase" insulin response. This is an easy test but requires very good preparation by your son and the lab giving the IV glucose and withdrawing the blood. In essence, the patient has an IV line started (a big enough one so that blood can be withdrawn!!) and a baseline "Time 0" sample of blood is drawn. He then receives a quick IV bolus of glucose (special dose dependent upon body weight) and then blood is immediately withdrawn after 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes. All the blood samples are analyzed for glucose and insulin. The sum of the insulin levels in the 1 and 3 minutes samples are called the "first phase" levels, and normal should be greater than 100 uU/mL. If less, this confirms a state of insulin deficiency, or type 1 diabetes.

We study proteins at the single molecule level under an applied mechanical force using AFM and magnetic tweezers instrumentation. Force is a ubiquitous perturbation in biology. Our results are opening new vistas into protein function in cells.
Courses taught at Columbia University:
- Frontiers of Science, Science C1000
- The Biology and Physics of Single Molecules, BIOLGU4070
- Cellular Physiology of Disease, BIOLGU4008,BIOLGU4009
- Student evaluations: Dr. Fernandez is the BEST professor I have had a Columbia, hands down. I wish I had met him my first year here; Best Biology professor that I've ever encountered at Columbia. Very rare find! He is very clear and available for questions, and I've enjoyed going to office hours; Really wonderful teacher who genuinely wants his students to be as fascinated with the material as he is.
Research stats:167 publications, 26490 citations, h index=81 (Dec 2017)
Ambition: understand the role played by mechanical forces on protein dynamics in biological systems.
I obtained my PhD in 2012 from University of Chile (Santiago, Chile) under the supervision of Dr. Victoria Guixe, at the Biological Sciences Department. My work there was related to understanding the conformational changes that thermophilic proteins undergo in solution. We used different techniques to determine the kinetic mechanisms and biophysical properties of glycolytic enzymes from hyperthermophilic organisms.
I joined the lab in September 2012, with the intent of studying protein conformational transition but this time at single molecule level. I currently use the enzyme glucokinase as a model to study the transition triggered by ligand from the Open to the Closed conformation. Also, I am involved in several projects with different members of Professor Fernandez's lab, trying to understand the function of posttranslational modifications on folding pathways of mechanical proteins.
I carried out my MSci degree in Physics and Astronomy at the University College London. Once I graduated I moved to Grenoble (France) to do a Ph.D in applied soft matter physics given by the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Lyon. The research project was co-supervised by Prof. Michel Peyrard from the ENS, and Dr. Andrew Wildes from the Institute Laue-Langevin, a world leading neutron facility, where I performed most of my research. During my Ph.D I investigated the structural and dynamical properties of fibre samples made of oriented DNA molecules. The high orientation of these samples allowed us to study the dynamical fluctuations and the melting transition of DNA using neutron and X-ray scattering. Furthermore, I implemented these studies with a variety of experimental techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry in collaboration with Jean-Luc Garden and Jacques Richard from CNRS, Grenoble.
I am very interested in studying the mechanical and dynamical properties of biological phenomena, such as protein folding, from a single-molecule approach. That is why I recently became part of Fernandez's lab as a postdoctoral researcher. My role in the lab is to lead the development of an unified physical model of the energy landscape of titin combining the genetic information and its elastic properties. The ultimate goal will be to use the model to predict the severity of diseases resulting from abnormal cellular regulation and from genetic mutations in the titin gene.
I obtained my PhD in 2016 from the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), under the supervision of Drs. Fernando Falo and Juan Jose Mazo, at the Department of Condensed Matter Physics. My work was related to physical modeling of different biological systems, with a focus on characterizing their behavior using free energy calculations. In particular, I employed Markov state modeling for describing molecular simulations and nonequilibrium free energy methods for analyzing force spectroscopy experiments.
I joined the lab in February 2016, with the intention of exploring protein dynamics from a single molecule level. I am interested in understanding the folding landscape of proteins by combining force spectroscopy experiments with physical models and computer simulations. In particular, I am especially dedicated to understand how this free energy landscape gets modulated under different physiological conditions, such as posttranscriptional modifications or when interacting with molecular chaperones.
I did my PhD from Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata under the supervision of Dr. Krishnananda Chattopadhyay. During my PhD, we showed how the ultra-fast chain dynamics of protein can be monitored at a single molecular resolution. After that, I moved to Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry and started working with Prof. Ulrich Hartl. During my postdoc in Munich, we solved the mechanism of the most important bacterial chaperonin, GroEL-GroES.
I joined the lab in March 2016, I will use force spectroscopy techniques such as magnetic tweezers and AFM to study the folding dynamics of the giant elastic muscle protein Titin and its contribution to muscle contraction. In particular, my studies will focus on the role of chaperones on promoting Titin folding and increasing the strength of a muscle contraction
I am a fifth year student in the MD/PhD program at Columbia. I graduated from Princeton University with an A.B. in Chemistry, where I did undergraduate thesis research with Dr. Michael Hecht studying the biological potentials of de novo-designed proteins. After college, I worked for Dr. J. Dirk Iglehart and Dr. J.B. Lazaro in cancer biology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, elucidating mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance. Since joining the Fernandez lab in Summer 2013, my research interests have focused on the determinants of mechanical stability in proteins with a particular interest in cellular adhesion structures.
I am a sixth year MD/PhD student at Columbia University. I received my undergraduate degrees in chemical engineering and chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011. While at Penn, I worked in the lab of Dr. Dennis Discher studying the effects of tissue elasticity on gene expression and stem cell differentiation. After completing two years of clinical coursework and several clinical rotations, I joined the Fernandez lab for my thesis research. I am interested in the mechanical modulation of elastic protein titin and its implications in dilated cardiomyopathy. I hope to apply techniques of single molecule force measurement to understand differential signalling of proteins in their folded and unfolded states.
Alex is a third year undergraduate student in Columbia College studying Biochemistry. He has worked on various projects with both AFM and Magnetic Tweezers, investigating the mechanical and unfolding properties of proteins. He previously worked with Dr. Kai Lao at Thermo Fisher Scientific, where he developed a novel method of on-chip DNA library preparation for Next-Generation Sequencing.
After graduation, Alex would like to attend graduate school in a life sciences field. He enjoys playing sports such as volleyball and soccer, learning about religion and philosophy, and hip-hop dancing in his free time.
Molecular Biologist and lab manager
I am in charge of the molecular biology section of the laboratory. I engineer most of the polyproteins that we use. We have a well established protocol for constructing polyproteins at the DNA level and then expressing them in bacteria. I use Talon columns and FPLC for protein purification. We struggle a bit with engineering AFM ready polyproteins. Not all of them give nice pulls. If so, I am the one that usually gets to re-engineer and/or re-express the proteins. I teach all the lab members how to do it and also I am happy to help other investigators by phone and email. I welcome inquiries.

While shopping the other day, a conversation was struck up between myself and a woman in the check out line. The woman was Christmas shopping for her grandchildren. She was telling me about the dilemmas she was running into purchasing gifts for them. They never liked the gifts that she bought them, the gifts they asked for were too expensive, they always seemed to like the gifts given to them from their other set of grandparents better. This made me sad, not only for this grandmother, but for these children. In these times of over commercialized holidays, has the true meaning of Christmas been completely lost?
This made me think about our daughter. How would we get her to understand that the holidays are not just about how many presents you receive?
Thinking back to my childhood, I can remember making my Christmas list, but I could not tell you one gift that I ever asked for, or if I even got it.
We used to stay at my grandparent's house on Christmas eve night. They always has a real tree. The tree was always too tall & too wide to fit comfortably in the corner of their dining room, but my grandparents never seemed to notice. My grandmother decorated her tree with the same icicle ornaments & ceramic angels every year. There was a large distressed hutch, that displayed her nativity scene & on Christmas morning, would also display our stockings. Presents & stockings were never set out until Christmas morning, but were always there when I woke up.
Waking up on Christmas morning, I was always filled with anxious anticipation. Walking into my grandparent's dining room, my ears were filled with the sounds 'Little Drummer Boy' & 'Up on the Housetop', the same record I had heard for years. The once present barren Christmas tree was now filled with boxes wrapped in shiny paper & topped with curly bows. Peeking over all the presents & taking stock of how many were mine, I was allowed to open one stocking gift, just one, before we went to church. Every year, my stocking was filled with individually wrapped presents & one Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar. I looked forward to that bar every Christmas morning.
The whole family would then put on our Sunday bests & load up the cars to go to Christmas mass. I could barely sit still in the pews. I was so excited to get back home to see what kind of treasures I received this year. Once mass was over, we returned home for a family breakfast. It was always a slow leisurely breakfast. The adults would talk & laugh and I would stare longingly at my gifts. When everyone finished their meal, it was time to clear off the table & do the dishes. There was never a rush or a sense of urgency. The holiday, the food & especially the family were savored, cherished & enjoyed. When we finally got to the presents we all sat together & watched as each person opened their gifts and gave hugs & kisses of appreciation to giver. Like I said before, I can not remember a single gift that I ever opened but I can remember every moment of the day.
Those are the things I want my child to remember. The moments not the material.
My husband & I already had some traditions of our own before we had our daughter. Every year, we would pick a night to put up our Christmas tree together. We would put in the movie 'Elf", pour ourselves some egg nog (with a drop or two of rum) & decorate our tree.
Yesterday, our daughter became a part of this tradition…minus the rum of course.
When Daddy brought up the Christmas Tree, Mai's first reaction was pure excitement. She started screaming immediately, "tree, tree, big tree". "It is a big tree, Mai Mai."
We put our tree up in it's usual corner. When we were ready to turn on the lights, we brought Mai to the front of the tree & made a big, excited production of it. "Mai, do you want to see the pretty lights?"
When the tree lit up, so did my daughter's face. The innocence & wonder in her face was priceless. "Magic!", she said. She was right, it was indeed magical.
This year we only used non breakable ornaments so that Mai could decorate it too. She loved it. She dug through the ornament bin, pulling out owls, pine cones & glittery snowflakes, naming them off with each one that she found. She placed them so neatly on the bottom branches & when she wanted to reach higher, she asked Daddy for help.
I actually got a little teary eyed, watching my little girl decorate the tree like a big girl. After the tree was decorated, mommy hung up the stockings. One for Mai, one for daddy, mommy & Duke.
It was a perfect evening and mommy & daddy still got their egg nog after Mai went to bed.
Here are some Christmas traditions that you could try with your family, because after all Christmas is about much more than just what is under the Christmas tree.
What are some of your family's traditions?
Up next…It's a Rice Krispie Treats Christmas

If severe weather is being forecast with certainty earlier than that then the tour will be canceled earlier.
Definitely! Many of our attendees live right here in New York City and it's safe to say we specialize in great tours for natives. Locals often attend to learn about the neighborhoods and the city in which they live or work but realize they truly know little about. Others realize they don't know this city inside out and explore places with our experts to get a whole new perspective.
It is a good idea to arrive at the meeting location ten to fifteen minutes prior to the tour start time. In fairness to the people, who arrived on time, we will leave promptly at the tour start time albeit attempts will be made to find you. If you are running late, you may call us at 646-571-8280 to try and let the guide know and they will often wait if it's within reason. Beyond 15 minutes and our guides are narrating the tour and will not pick up their cellphones. It is your responsibility to be on time.
We typically pass a restroom during the tour, however we strongly urge you to use the restrooms before the tour.
Children of all ages are welcome to join our tours. Some streets and sidewalks are narrow and may be difficult to navigate with a stroller. Some tours have some adult content. We do not charge for children younger than school-age on public tours.
All walking tours last approximately two and a half hours. We walk between one and two miles during this time. We maintain a moderate walking pace, stopping at various sites along the tour.
Wear comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. We also recommend a bottle of water and a camera to capture all your favorite New York memories.

(via Ottawa Public Health)
Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is seeking feedback from the public about the local effect of excessive alcohol use in Ottawa. The online survey is part of OPH's Strategic Direction to promote a culture of moderation and decrease harms related to alcohol misuse. The project aims to start a community dialogue among the public and stakeholders about community concerns related to alcohol use and to explore options to better address the current situation in Ottawa.
You can share your views:
- Online at HaveYourSayOttawa.ca. This bilingual online consultation includes 10 short questions and will be available until February 29.
- Call the OPH Information Line to speak with a public health nurse at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).
- Email firstname.lastname@example.com
Alcohol use is commonly seen as an individual choice and the consequences of excessive use, which affect the community at large, are often ignored. One-third of Canadian adults say that in the past year they experienced one or more types of harms resulting from someone else's excessive drinking.
In Ottawa, alcohol continues to be the most used substance and causes a greater health burden of injury and disease than all other drugs, whether illegal or prescription. The impacts from excessive alcohol use include physical and sexual assaults, falls, motor-vehicle collisions caused by impaired drivers or impaired pedestrians, lost productivity in the workplace, family violence and breakdown, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and cancer and cirrhosis of the liver.
Every year in Ottawa, about 1,000 adults are hospitalized and 110 people die from factors attributed to alcohol consumption.

But Scott is fonder of recent work for American Express. "Mr. Lee" and "Penguins" were both shot in Patagonia, Argentina, for McCann-Erickson/New York. The first shows a frustrated businessman shopping by phone from an isolated booth in the desert; his success in securing a mail order gift for his wife is illustrated by a chipper skip from booth to limo. "It's out of character and incongruous," says Scott. "In the U.S., people don't laugh, but in England it worked, so I suppose there are real differences in the area of humor between North America and the U.K.." "Penguins" captures the work of two avian researchers frustrated by their inability to photograph their stay among a flock of the two-tone birds. "It was supposed to be two guys having their photo taken surrounded by penguins, but they're very skittish, " he says. "So it ended up being us dragging ourselves on our bellies like snipers. We made it up as we went along, incorporating the frustration of setting up the spot."
The researchers in the spot were played by Scott's RSA cohorts Philip Fox Mills and Bryan Farhy, talent every bit as unruly as a flock of penguins. Those who've met them will agree that directing this pair most assuredly contributes to Scott's quest for "character-driven work."

Here's another chance for Xbox 360 owners to get hold of Metro 2033 for around a fiver, in case you missed the double pack with Darksiders last month. Shopto's offer currently undercuts the next cheapest listing from Zavvi and The Hut by just over £3.
It was David's game of 2010 with good reason, and for those looking for a little extra something to their gun-toting adventures (or just fancy wandering around a Russian nuclear wasteland) there almost isn't any excuse now to not give it a look at this price. Thanks to Syzable @ HUKD!

I'd actually completely forgotten about this film (although I'm sure I would've remembered it eventually, even without today's news). But I'm certainly glad that it's still very much *in play* after VICE picked it up following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it attracted plenty of critical acclaim, including winning the festival's prestigious Directing Award: U.S. Dramatic.
VICE has now announced that the global youth media company and content creation studio, has teamed up with Alamo Drafthouse and TUGG to release Cutter Hodierne's "Fishing Without Nets" in theaters across the country. VICE also announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for home video platform releases of the film.
The feature, which tells the story of a young Somali lured into the world of piracy to support his family, will be available same day to own on Digital HD, as well as for rent on Video On Demand (VOD), and also in limited theatrical engagement – all simultaneously. A specific date will be announced later.
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will work with VICE to market and distribute the film digitally. Alamo Drafthouse will oversee theater engagements in select markets, and TUGG will manage influencer and crowd sourced screenings across the country, including "VICE-Night" themed events in select cities.
Shot in East Africa with Kenyan actors of Somali descent, Hodierne's "Fishing Without Nets" tells the very well publicized "Somali Pirates" phenomenon, but specifically from the Somali point of view – something that other films on the subject rarely make an effort to acknowledge let alone conscientiously incorporate – making this one that much more worth paying attention to.
The film is an expansion of director Hodierne's short film of the same name which won the Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. His feature film debut, it combines action-thriller sensibilities with the intimate, textured qualities of an arthouse film, humanizing the pirates by bringing us inside their moral dilemmas and incredible struggles.
Director, Cutter Hodierne said: "I always wanted to make and release a film with a forward thinking digital media company. Making this movie has been the ultimate filmmaking experience for me and I'm so excited that this adventure story, told through the eyes of Somalis, will reach an even wider audience through this innovative distribution agreement."
"Fishing Without Nets is a rare opportunity to look inside the world of pirating in Somalia in a human story told with authenticity and humanity. Cutter is a remarkably talented young director with the ability to capture the real life drama behind the newspaper headlines," said VICE Chief Creative Officer and Executive Producer of the film Eddy Moretti. "This is exactly the kind of project VICE is excited to be involved in, and it's the first of a series of films VICE will produce and finance in the coming months."
"Fishing Without Nets is a unique and authentic approach to storytelling and exactly the sort of movie you would expect from the VICE team," said Mary Daily, President, Worldwide Marketing, and Chief Marketing Officer, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "We are excited about working on the film and the many different ways we can market the movie to progressive and passionate audiences that are savvy to the emerging digital formats and platforms of today."
"We are thrilled to partner with VICE and Fishing Without Nets on this innovative initiative," said Nicolas Gonda, CEO, Tugg. "We believe our core mission to engage, empower and entertain aligns perfectly with VICE's audience of leaders and influencers, and we look forward to acting as the platform for communities across the country to collectively experience this powerful film on the big screen."
VICE's Eddy Moretti and Shane Smith act as executive producers alongside Think Media Studios' Joe LoConti. Brian Glazen and Stephanie Pinola. WME Global assembled financing for the film and closed the North American deal. International is being handled by Altitude Film Sales.
The team who produced the original short—Raphael Swann, John Hibey, and Cutter Hodierne—returned as producers and partnered with Ben Freedman and Rupert Wyatt ("The Escapist," "Rise of the Planet of the Apes") of Picture Farm, along with Victor Shapiro.
Here's a first teaser trailer for "Fishing Without Nets;" and underneath are some images from the upcoming film.

How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
It has been almost a year I did not share my thoughts or experinces in this forum site. After 3 years of sebatical break, I'm back to work. The first week was very normal but later the whole situation changed. I could feel something unusual in me. I was not able to engage myself in the new environment. Some collegues were asking me unneccearsy questions based on my personal issues. I was trying to avoid them. I could not face them and was not bold enough to speak up. I tend to isolate myself. The anxiety grew from day to day. I feel very unsafe at the workplace. I feel like I have lost my confidence and creditibility. Every other day is being a day full of conflicts. Please advice me. Thank you
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
People react to what they see. If you look upset , its hard for them to be nice
Some people are not so bad now that I have got a bit more used to things.
I think for me its just getting rest, trying to eat properly and just accepting thingsand not taking them out on myself then it gets easier
At least I only have a week to go there. Its not a good place , but I need the money.
It must be strange going back after so long.
Perhaps tell a professional or someone outside of work what it is happening it may be easier for them to understand what is happening.
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
It seems like readjusting back to your work environment has been deeply unsettling for you. You sound like you're going through a very rough time, and the questions they asked have clearly rattled you....you seem shaken by it all.
I like @TAB's suggestions to reach out for help. Or perhaps even consider the HR department; the only drawback with that is sometimes internal work politics means HR may not make this the best option. But maybe you could still consider it. Thinking of you.
Kindness only,
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
I took a year off of work because of my mental health and it was really hard to go back. I found people were awkward around me for a while and a few people made some comments in a round a bout way trying to ask questions. It did settle down though and I became jsut part of the furniture in a way. Things got hard again with other circumstances and I thought that that would never settle down but again it did. There are some things that I think time does help with.. I would politely just tell people i was ok if they asked (even if i felt they were asking for more information) and then steer the conversation back to work related things. Being back at work for me ahs been kind of good in that it certainly keeps me busy and i have something that forces me to keep going without too much time to think, but its also been hard gto balance everything and keep up with things when the MI is taking away my concentration/motivation/energy etc...
I hope that things settle for you a bit, it did help me to talk things through with my psychologist at the time as well and develop strategies with her for how to handle different situations/questions.
Take care
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
Re: How to overcome anxiety at workplace?
A couple of times I had to let my job go at the time when we were not housed as I was under immense stress.
I was shaky and couldn't perform treatments the best I can
I definately still feel some days I have lost my confidence when I am having my bad days.
It's a time thing though when you remove some of the issues that are causing or triggering the anxiety...but it's not easy when circumstances are still there as well etc
It also isn't easy when you are fighting the war within you're mind and having conflict between others I am still trying to deal with that now

Forman Christian College
in Lahore, Pakistan
About Our Partner
Forman Christian College
Forman Christian College was founded in 1864 in Lahore, Pakistan by Presbyterian missionary Dr. Charles Forman. As a liberal arts institution where students of all backgrounds – men and women, Christian and Muslim – interact and learn together, Forman is successfully demonstrating a model of interfaith harmony to a nation and culture deeply divided along lines of religion, class and gender. The college, with over 6,000 students, consists of two distinct schools: the college, or intermediate, program which is equivalent to the last two years of high school in the U.S.; and the co-educational university, which is modeled on the U.S. four-year liberal arts college and includes a BA, Master's degree and PhD programs.
The Impact
In this Muslim country, FCC provides an environment for mutual understanding and peaceful co-existence between Christians and Muslims. With over 10% of the student population being Christian and with 36% percent of that population, women, FCC has become a champion for those often denied access to higher education. In addition, a vital Christian Life Ministry nurtures Christian students who live in a country where their faith is likely to make them a target of discrimination and even attack.
The Need
The Outreach Foundation is seeking gifts totaling $27,000 to support a chaplaincy ministry at Forman as well as scholarships for students who come from poor families.
