text: Pasadena, CA -- There has been a lot of talk about event programming during the Winter 2014 Television Critics Association tour, but the truth is most of it has been connected to "special productions" that are actually series packaged in different ways. Some are "regular" series with fewer episode orders (CBS' "Under the Dome," Fox's "Sleepy Hollow"), some are limited series (Fox's upcoming "Wayward Pines" and "Gracepoint" and USA Network's "The Dig") and others are closed-ended miniseries (FX's "Fargo"). In fact, all the talk about "event," "limited" and "mini" series have left critics and actors alike confused as to which is which.Regardless, they all have to move aside in the glow of NBC's "The Sound of Music Live!" -- the most special of all special network events in 2013 and one that may singlehandedly reinvigorate broadcast for years to come.NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt met with reporters Sunday for the first time since "Sound of Music" tipped the business on its side, and to nobody's surprise he announced another live music event scheduled for next December."Imagine our surprise when nearly 19 million viewers tuned in to ['Music'] on Dec. 5, [and when] an additional three million played it back on their DVRs," Greenblatt beamed. "In fact, for that week in total viewers, 'The Sound of Music' actually beat our own NFL football game. For once, the drama nerds beat the jocks."We had so much fun doing the big musical that the family could watch together at the holiday, so as I'm sure is not unexpected, we're going to do it again," he continued. "I'm pleased to announce this morning that next Dec. 4 we will broadcast live a new production of the Broadway musical 'Peter Pan.'" "Sound of Music" executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will handle "Pan" too, he added.Greenblatt went on to explain the history of "Peter Pan" on NBC, beginning with a production in 1955 with the cast of the Broadway version. "The Broadway production, which was doing great business, closed in order for the whole cast to do a live broadcast of it on NBC from a studio in Manhattan, and it was in color, which was a novelty back then," he revealed. "Sixty-five million people tuned in. It was so successful that a year later NBC did another live production with the same cast. And then in 1960, they did it again, this time starring Mia Farrow."Get ready for flying children and some kind of state of the art light technology for little Tinker Bell," he laughed. "That's 'Peter Pan.'"Greenblatt also announced two other "event" programs, both "series" of different kinds. The first was "Emerald City," which he described as a ten-episode "modern reimaging of the L. Frank Baum books" that inspired "The Wizard of Oz" and "Wicked.""Our version is a bit of a thrilling, more epic telling of the stories through the eyes of 20 year old Dorothy who, of course, gets caught up in a tornado, but drops into a place that is definitely not your grandmother's Oz," he explained. "This is a big unfolding mystery. There are a lot of new characters that you will meet, some of whom might look a little familiar, but some that you've never seen before."The other, Greenblatt said, was a miniseries titled "The Slap," an eight-hour miniseries about "a family that gets torn apart when a child is slapped by a family member at a barbecue. We live in a world of political correctness with a lot of differing opinions about how to discipline children, and this incident devolves all the way into an ugly court case," he explained. Acclaimed playwright Jon Robin Baitz, the creator of the ABC series "Brothers and Sisters," is writing all eight hours. It is a closed-ended story, which means that it is not intended to return for a second season.Asked whether or not NBC would join Fox in trying to move outside of traditional pilot season structures, Greenblatt replied, "I hear [Fox's Kevin Reilly] abandoned pilots and then just picked up a bunch of prototypes with the intent to go to series with extra scripts and stuff. So I don't know if that's not sort of another way of doing a version of the pilot process."I actually love pilots," he continued. "I think 'The Blacklist' probably would never have seen the air had we not made a pilot, because it came from a relatively young, inexperienced writer. We weren't exactly sure immediately from that script that we should order a series. We found a great director to direct a prototype of the show, Joe Carnahan, who also helped contribute to what that show is and what it should look like. I think you learn valuable information from the pilot process. What I think Kevin was saying, and we all say on a daily basis, is we hate the pilot season. Now, we're locked into it for a lot of macro upfront reasons to a large degree, but I don't think the pilot is a flawed concept."In some cases it makes sense to go right to series, but in a lot of cases I think a pilot can be really valuable. We just have to figure out if we can make them more off cycle. If we get a star that no one else has, you know, I immediately feel like that's half the battle. Casting is the worst part of the pilot season."NBC's day featured a "Hannibal"-themed breakfast, a lunch presentation for "Hollywood Game Night" during which Jane Lynch steered two teams of critics through two of the popular games from that show, panels for a number of upcoming scripted and reality series and, at the end, press conferences with Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers at which they discussed plans for "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers," respectively.Check us out on Facebook at MediaBizBloggers.comFollow our Twitter updates @MediaBizBloggerThe opinions and points of view expressed in this commentary are exclusively the views of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of MediaBizBloggers.com management or associated bloggers.

Rural and pastoral worlds
Between cultures
Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina in collaboration with Trento Film Festival
Trento, 29th – 30th April 2012
Sixth edition of Eurorama, promoted by the Museum of Usages and Customs of the Trentino people, on the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of the TrentoFilmFestival.
Eleven high-quality films from eleven of the greatest ethnographic film festivals in Europe, for a program that addresses the most important themes of ethnographic documentary in recent years: the waning of the social contexts in rural and mountainous area of the Old Continent, on the first day, and the continuous intersection of cultures, the contact with other continents through immigration, on the second day. Once again, the specific outlook of visual anthropology takes the viewer on a journey that covers the whole of Europe, from the Audomarois marshes, through to the Balkans, the Carpathian and the Ural mountains, from the most remote villages to the metropolitan areas of London, Amsterdam, Turin and Istanbul.

Privacy and secondhand smoke
Privacy is not a bargain, Moglen argued, a trade-off we make by reading and agreeing to terms of service (which, of course, almost no one does). Rather, he said, privacy is an ecological problem like second-hand smoking. Refusing to use Gmail, for instance, is of little use if most of your correspondents use the service—Google still winds up with a copy of your email. In both cases, innocent bystanders get hurt.
"North America did not become a no-smoking continent because the surgeon-general said 'smoking kills you'," he told Ars. "North America became a no-smoking continent when people realised that second-hand smoke was also deadly. That by smoking in their houses and cars they were exposing their children to carcinogens. That caused people to think differently."
Moglen argued that platform providers should be forced to more clearly state in human-readable terms the "bargain" they are proposing: He wants Facebook to be required to "say honestly to every parent on earth" that they spy on children all the time for hours a day—that they "know more about your children than you could ever know." If, he argued, they were made to be "honest about what they do," change would come as people demanded it. In the meantime, "it's time to erect barricades."
A last stand at the last hop
Telecommunications service providers run deep-packet inspection at the on-street corner box in order to maximise their profit—and there, Moglen said in Berlin, is where our barricades must go.
"We are no longer capable of building the net we want, we are only capable of resisting the net we do not want," he said.
"In such a world we must concentrate our efforts on the part of the network closest to us," he argued. "In that last kilometre, that last hop, lies the barricade we must erect if we mean to keep a zone of freedom around ourselves."
Moglen proposed deploying "freedom boxes" at every street corner—cheap hardware running free software, deployed everywhere, that encrypt everything, anonymise everything, and blind the service providers to our activity.
"We have a very short period of time in which to go to the last kilometre of the network, which we can also think of as the closest hop to the actual human mind," he said. "At that last kilometre, we have a last chance. To make the network for the people instead of the machine."
If we fail to do this, and soon, he said, it means "the end of freedom of expression," and "eternal tyranny".
The mystery of human freedom
Freedom of expression, Moglen told Ars, can only be possible when the infrastructure of communications is operated for the benefit of the people. This holds as equally true to our right to assemble in public streets and parks to protest as it does online.
But a failure to defend the communications infrastructure as a commons for public benefit, he said, would result not only in a loss of human autonomy, but the degradation of our thought to little more than that of insects in an obedient colony.
"We are changing the human environment very rapidly and we are becoming a connected super-organism, ants in a hill," he said, "and we are connecting us not to free each of us for higher functioning but to enable an intermediary organism, the technology of the attention market, and to have access to our minds all the time."
"When we do that," he said, "we begin to change the nature of human thought."
What's at stake, he argued, is humanism itself—the values of equality, liberty, and democracy that we've cherished for centuries. And if we do not act, those values will wither and die, and we will live, ant-like, in a hive mind run by spies and corporations, stripped of our political liberty, our freedom of expression—our freedom of thought, even—crushed, unwilling participants in a global experiment at social control.
We must act now, Moglen told Ars. "There isn't time. By 2025 it will all be over."

Tourist Trophy
Ah the 90's. The era of multiculturalism - a confused and charming time, when women sported bell bottom jeans from the 70's and men couldn't decide if they were siding with 2Pac or Biggie. Men's shirts started to shrink like wet suits and were often found with glow sticks at hand in dark warehouses they liked to call raves.
It was a time when people loved to accessorize themselves. People modified their phones from cases to backlights, to who can forget, operator logos. This fetish even pushed Nokia to release an 8890. A 40,000 peso light alloy phone that didn't do anything particularly special, except that it was the size of your palm. The 90's was all about being trendy. It was all form with not a lot of regard to function, and the same could be said about some cars. Take for instance the Audi TT. When it was launched in the late 90's, everyone I knew was a fan - except myself.
Surely, it couldn't have been designed by those that built the legendary Quattro rally car nor could have been the idea of those behind the RS wagons. It could have only been built by the Spice Girls with an engine developed by S Club 7. And since the 90's is also the decade in which scientists were able to create Dolly The Sheep, the very first cloned mammal in history, Audi decided that it would be cool to clone the front of the TT to its rear. Unsurprisingly, it was a hit. Every single corner of Beverly Hills and San Francisco had one and they blasted to the tune of Alice Deejay's Better Off Alone.
See what I mean? It was the same story when I landed in the United Kingdom, which by the way is where Audi says they sell the most number of TTs. Obviously, it didn't sell as much in the Philippines, because a nation like ours is not a melting pot for coupés and roadsters. We don't have that kind of median income to be driving one of those to work on a daily basis. We suffer from extreme taxation and potholes.
In this country, sports cars are often driven on weekends, particularly on Sundays to have breakfast with like-minded people, who toot each others horns about all things under the sun. This brings me to a question. If you are going to blow some cash on a toy, why on Earth would you buy a stretched Volkswagen Beetle? Surely, there's something better out there, including a real Audi - like an S2 or an S4.
I was so uninterested with the Audi TT made by the Spice Girls in the 90's, that I never bothered to look at its successors. Had I not been told that there was an all-new model, I probably would have never known or cared - but after driving it, I realized what a great catastrophe that would have been.
This new third generation TT is, for the lack of a better word, stunning. It is a beautiful piece of kinetic art that throws in hints of the original TT's stylishness while being more Audi and less Backstreet Boy. It's muscular and handsome, and it oozes with confidence. Of course, styling isn't everything, but believe me, at this kind of price point - it counts for a lot.
It sits on beautiful alloy wheels that scream European performance car more than Beverly Hills hair dresser. It has intricate details littered all over the car, from the iconic aluminium fuel filler cap to the functional but equally pretty electronically activated rear wing. It is the perfect evolution to the TT from a design standpoint.
"The interior of this car is one of the best in the industry at any price range. It really is a very special place to be in."
If you think the exterior is pretty, wait until you open the door of this car. We've known for quite some time now that Audi are masters of interior fetishes, but I wasn't expecting this. The TT is by no means cheap, but it feels several cuts more expensive inside. The moment you sit down, the first thing that draws your attention is the ginormous TFT multi-function display that Audi likes to call a Virtual Cockpit. You can control everything in the car from there. It is quick, responsive, and stunning to look at.
The best bit of that is they've removed the TFT screen that usually sits at the top of the center stack, which more often than not, looks like an afterthought. This design makes way for cleaner and more organic lines in the cabin. Since all cars today have screens in the middle, it's quite refreshing to see one without it. Also, this means that your passenger is really just a passenger, which to every car guy, is priceless.
"My favorite bit is the exhaust. It has a habit of popping and banging at virtually every shift and loss of traction. It's a theatrical superstar."
Interior fetish.
The controls are ergonomic. It takes some time to familiarize yourself with everything, but after you've gotten enough time in the car, pushing all the buttons start to feel like second nature. The squared-off bottom steering wheel is as tactile to hold as it is beautiful to look at. The leather and Alcantara seats hugged me like it never wanted me to go.
Don't even get me started on those air vents, which have to be best in the business. Also, the interior cabin lights are touch sensitive. I have never turned on cabin lights so intimately. It must be said that as a whole, the interior of this car is one of the best in the industry at any price range. It really is a very special place to be in.
Ready for take-off.
Now you may be thinking, "Well that's all very nice, but how does it drive?". Well, it accelerates a whole lot quicker than you'd expect and the suspension although stiff, never feels like it's going to break your back. It will happily cruise north of 230 km/h all day without breaking a sweat. The TT feels rapid. All this wheel-spinning power is generated by a 2-liter turbocharged four banger that's mated to a dual-clutch 6-speed S-tronic gearbox, which really makes the digital tachometer snap at every shift. This must be the reason why they went for a digital tach, because an analog needle might just snap off completely.
I don't particularly like the tires fitted to this car. They struggle at putting all the power down on first gear despite having a front-mounted engine with a front wheel drive system. A Quattro setup would be better, but based on my experience, most AWD systems tend to extinguish the thrill of acceleration. It must also be said that the brakes are excellent. On the twisties, the TT remained happy and graceful. It seems to be its playground. It grips really well with only the slightest hint of understeer. My favorite bit is the exhaust. It has a habit of popping and banging at virtually every shift and loss of traction. It's a theatrical superstar.
You dare or you don't.
What is the essence of this car? To me, the TT isn't just a car that goes around a track quickly or a machine that devours the road faster than most that you share it with. It is the ultimate escape. Driving this car through the bustling metro and up into the foggy mountains remains to be one of life's greatest concerts. The beauty of it all is ingrained in my memory. It heightens the senses and urges you to appreciate what surrounds you - a contagious aspiration that can only be shared with those who dream.
The sound, the smell, the sensation of acceleration, and the sense of occasion. From a routine of mundane dullness, the Audi TT brings back one's zest for life. It breathes life into its driver, and that's so much more than I can say about any other inanimate object. It is quick, it is comfortable, it is luxurious, and most importantly - it has the power to replenish all the endorphins that the universe drains from you. This is several cuts above what I think the TT should have always been. I am utterly left in awe.
The power of freedom.

You were excited to be invited for an interview, and were thrilled when they called back to get your references. You are so close to getting this job that you can taste it! The only problem is that they want a reference from your current employer. This is an issue because your current employer doesn't know that you are even looking for a job, let alone that you've been attending interviews. Also, what happens if you ask your employer for a reference, but you still don't get the job? Will it make your job difficult in the future? Here are some tips to help guide you through this tricky situation:
Consider whether the opportunity is worth the risk. When you ask your manager for a reference, you leave no doubt that you're planning to move on. If the opportunity falls through, and you're stuck at your old job, you'll likely find that your manager is unwilling to give you important projects or interesting learning opportunities. Your manager may even start to look for reasons to get rid of you. If the position that you're applying for is a great opportunity, then it may be worth risking the potential discomfort. However, if you're not even sure that you would accept the position, then you might want to pass on this one.
See if there are any other options. Does the reference need to be someone who is currently working there? Could it be a previous supervisor who has since moved on? Or could you use a co-worker or a supplier as a reference. Explain the difficulty of the situation and see if there is any flexibility.
Be direct and respectful. If you do decide to ask your manager for a reference, the way that you do it is important. Don't play games and don't be vague about what you need. Tell your manager that you want to expand your skills and that you feel that this opportunity would help you get to the next level. When you ask for the reference, let your manager know that you've enjoyed your current role, and that you appreciate all of the support that they have given you. Just make sure that they don't mistakenly think that you are giving your resignation.
Be open to your manager's response. It is difficult to predict how your manager will respond to your request for a reference. Your manager may not want to lose you, and could offer you another opportunity to entice you to stay. Listen and consider the offer; it could be a way to expand your skills without making a big move.
Don't feel bad about it. When we think about leaving our current employer, many of us feel guilty. While it is understandable to feel guilty, it is unnecessary. You need to do what is best for you and your career, and at some point that will mean moving on. Your manager does not expect you to stay with the organization forever. As long as you work hard, and are totally committed while you are working there, you have no reason to feel bad.
Since we develop personal relationships with our managers and our co-workers, changing jobs can be messy. It becomes even more complicated when the prospective employer wants to talk to your current employer. If you only pursue the most promising of these opportunities, and if you do so openly and professionally, you should be able to avoid most of this awkwardness.

SMC design students on top with first place prize in design competition
Dreams came true April 2 for two Santa Monica College students. For the first time ever, SMC's Interior Architecture Design Program took home first place in the annual American Institute of Architects / Los Angeles Interior Architecture 2005 Design Competition, beating out 18 other two- and four-year schools.
James Butterly and Carlos Munoz, two students in the architecture program at SMC, sat behind the drawing boards that created the award-winning masterpiece that pleasantly stunned colleges and industry professionals all around Southern California.
Butterly was approached by Denise Travis, a professor from the Department of Design Technology, to pick someone he would feel comfortable working with in the competition.
"I wanted to pick someone who had similar ideas. I didn't want to fight with someone new over carpet samples and layouts - there's no time for that during the competition, which is why I picked Carlos," said Butterly. "On past class assignments we've worked together on we've had the same color schemes and similar color palettes. We just worked well together."
Both Butterly and Munoz made the early morning trip for the one-day industry-juried competition. Upon arriving, each team is informed that they are given six hours, beginning at 9 a.m., to produce the required piece.
This year's theme was to create a commercial space of 6000 square feet on the 3rd Street Promenade for the median ages of 21 to 28 that would double as a secret government recruiting site for the CIA.
Munoz spoke about his mind state during the six hours of creativity, "I wasn't thinking of winning. There's no time for that! I was just thinking on how to solve the problem at hand," he said.
The award-winning board that Butterly and Munoz created involved two distinct aspects. The first story, inspired by an ocean wave, is a modern, sleek bar with keypads and cryptic codes that operate the elevator leading those who can decipher the code to the second level of the bar - the recruiting office for the CIA.
The name they both decided on for the board Butterly said was, "'Cipher Bar,' because of all the codes you would have to decipher to reach the second-level recruiting offices."
At 3:30 p.m. the teams were informed that their time was up and that they must submit their boards. The students were then bused to the new Cal-Trans building and the judging began on the student boards, unknown to the students.
"While we were on the bus driving to the Cal-Trans building I kept going over what I could have done better or could have changed, but then I realized that it didn't matter because I had such a great time doing the project," said Munoz talking about the contest.
Once the students returned from the tour of the Cal-Trans building, the top six boards were picked and the student pairs were asked to present them to the judges.
"It was quite funny because I told Carlos to throw a blazer in the trunk of the car just in case we were asked to present, but when we were actually picked we unknowingly had the same color blazer and sunglasses. We looked like official CIA agents-sort of like men in black," said Butterly. As the presentations came to an end, the room fell to a thick silence.
"When the judges announced that SMC won first place the faces on all the other schools dropped into complete shock," said Butterly.
Munoz and Butterly were awarded $5,000 each, with the second place winners from CSU Long Beach given $6,000 total and the third place winners from Sci Arc awarded $4,000 total.
"It was truly amazing - I mean we beat out some of the top universities and schools. Woodbury University, CSU Long Beach, Design Institute of San Diego and Sci Arc are top schools and for Santa Monica College to beat them is inspiring," said Munoz.
Butterly also found other opportunities at the event. He said, "This was great networking for me. I received a lot of business cards from several industry professionals telling me that when I finish my program to look them up."
Travis felt that the school gained, too. As he said, "Winning this award is a big thing for the college because it shows that SMC is just as good as any four-year university."
Although Munoz and Butterly are in the process of completing their studies they are adamant about returning next year to help mentor the next team throughout the process of the competition.
"This was the first competition both Carlos and I have done, so we really didn't know what to expect. We want to help the next team in any way possible," said Butterly.
For those interested in the awarding-winning "Cipher Bar," it is available for viewing on the second floor of the Academy of Entertainment and Technology campus, located at 1600 Stewart Street.
"This puts SMC on the map. It's hard to finish the architecture program in a timely manner due to the lack of computers, equipment, classes and money available," said Munoz. "Maybe with this achievement people will see the potential of Santa Monica College."

2degrees announces 580,112 customers
2degrees CEO Eric Hertz held a press conference at the Auckland Town Hall today to announce that since launching in August 2009, the company has acquired 580,112 customers.
2degrees CEO Eric Hertz held a press conference at the Auckland Town Hall today to announce that since launching in August 2009, the company has acquired 580,112 customers.
2degrees has signed a $100 million deal with technology partner Huawei to upgrade its mobile network over the next two years.
2degrees is promising to launch post-pay deals before Christmas, but at today's 3G launch it stuck to a pre-pay data offering.
Mobile phone companies and regulators face a stark choice in the next few years: double the number of cellsites to 5000, allow existing cellsites to be built higher, or take the radical step of sanctioning a single mobile access network that would be shared by all.
The Transport Ministry has clarified the terms of a new law that restricts the use of cellphones in cars, saying that from November it will be illegal to use a mobile phone as a satellite navigation aid while driving.
2degrees chief executive Eric Hertz admitted rear-ending another vehicle at an intersection in Auckland a few weeks ago while glancing at directions on his iPhone, which was mounted on a hands-free kit in his car.
Under the new law, that would be illegal, Transport Ministry spokesman John Summers confirmed. "The Road User Amendment Rule 2009 means drivers will not be able to look at a navigation aid on a mobile phone when driving, even if it is mounted on the dashboard.
"You can use a mobile phone held in a cradle while driving, but only to make, receive or terminate a phone call. You cannot use them in any other way, such as reading a GPS map, reading email or consulting an electronic diary."
The restriction does not apply to navigation systems that do not have a mobile phone function, he says. Mr Hertz expressed surprise at a media report that claimed the other vehicle involved in the accident had been a write-off and that its driver had suffered back injuries requiring weeks off work.
He was not aware of any injuries and the crash was not reported to police.
"We had a chat and exchanged licence plate numbers and insurance details. We both drove off. It was, from my perspective, a relatively minor fender-bender."

I have really bad allergies.
They usually begin in the spring (March or April) and last until late summer (sometime in July or August).
Find your regional allergy patterns here.
Whether you call it hay fever, seasonal allergies, or allergic rhinitis, here are 2 things I've learned about treating seasonal allergies:
1. An allergy remedy that works great for Person A doesn't necessarily work for Person B.
2. Something that works well for you now may become less effective over time.
Allergy Symptoms
Like most people with allergies, I've tried practically everything to relieve the symptoms.
The worst allergy symptoms for me are:
All Allergy Meds Are Not The Same
As with other medications, your body can grow immune to certain allergy medications over time.
Case in point: Benadryl used to work great for me. Now it doesn't.
Then, Claritin worked great for awhile. Now it doesn't.
I always took the generic formulations.
Specifically, here's what worked for me in the past:
- (Generic) Loratadine = Claritin 10 mg (Take 10 mg daily) – THIS WORKED FOR 2 STRAIGHT YEARS FOR ME
For the record, when I noticed that Loratadine (an antihistamine) had stopped working for me, I was told my pharmacist that you can safely take Sudafed at the same time that you're taking Loratadine, but you can not combine Loratadine with Benadryl.
- (Generic) Diphenhydramine = Benadryl 25 mg (Take 25 mg to 50 mg every 4-6 hours) – THIS ONLY WORKED FOR 1 YEAR FOR ME
The recommended dose for adults is 25–50 mg Diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) every 4–6 hours, not to exceed 50-100 mg every 4–6 hours. Keep in mind, Diphenhydramine is also found in these products: Nytol, *Unisom, Tylenol PM, and Advil PM, so be sure to include those doses in your total Diphenhydramine dosage for the day if you're taking any of them. (*Some Unisom products contain Doxylamine instead.)
Each of those allergy pills (taken alone, not combined) worked perfectly for 2 years (Claritin), then 1 year (Benadryl).
In both cases, they all of a sudden stopped working.
When the Benadryl/Diphenhydramine stopped working one season, I switched to Claritin.
Toward the end of my second season on Claritin, I noticed it was becoming less effective, so I talked with my doctor about it. At this point, I temporarily tried Nasonex, but I didn't want to be on that longterm. I also talked with a couple of pharmacists about other OTC allergy pills I should try.
What's Working For Me Now
After speaking with 2 different pharmacists about my options — and sharing with them what had once worked for me but stopped working — they both recommended this combination of over-the-counter pills:
- (Generic) Phenylephrine HCl 10mg (a nasal decongestant also known as Sudafed PE) every 4 hours + (Generic) Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg (an antihistamine also known as Chlor-Trimeton) every 4 hours.
I buy the generic forms of these allergy pills at Costco or online: Phenylephrine HCl + Chlorpheniramine maleate.
For the record, I noticed that Tylenol Allergy Multisymptom contains the exact same ingredients, combined with 650 mg of Acetaminophen (or Tylenol) — in each 4 hour dose of 2 pills each. So if I need a pain reliever when I'm using those same generic meds, I can safely take 650 mg of Tylenol or Acetaminophen on my own. NOTE: It's also sold as Multi-Symptom Allergy at Sam's Club.
Sometimes, you need to take more than one kind of allergy medicine to control all of your allergy symptoms. For instance, you may need both an antihistamine and a decongestant. Sometimes, the allergy medications themselves will be a combination of more than one kind of allergy medicine. Source
I've been using this combination of pills to treat my allergies for 2 allergy seasons now.
The reason I'm sharing my experience with the combination of Phenylephrine HCl and Chlorpheniramine maleate to treat allergies is because it's an option that some may not have thought about.
If you feel like you, too, have tried just about everything else to relieve your allergy symptoms, then I highly recommend trying something that you've haven't tried before. Perhaps this combination will work for you too. And you can save a ton of money by buying generics!
The only downside: you have to keep taking the pills every 4 hours to stay symptom free. If I'm late an hour, then the symptoms quickly reappear. However, when I'm not going to be outdoors for any length of time, I can skip a dose or two since my symptoms are only bad when I'm outside.
I'd love to hear what works for you!
After taking the Phenylephrine HCl + Chlorpheniramine maleate every 4 hours for my seasonal allergies for the past 2 years, this year they magically stopped working.
It was to be expected, since the maximum time any allergy pill works for me seems to be 2 years on average.
So now I've switched back to Loratadine (Claritin). So far so good — and I love that you only need to take one pill every 24 hours — but it's still early in this allergy season to know if this will really work for all of the time that I spend outdoors.
If the Loratadine turns out to be not strong enough for my super-sensitive allergies, I'm going to try Phenylephrine HCl (Sudafed PE) every 4 hours + Loratadine (Claritin) every 24 hours — since one is an antihistamine and the other is a decongestant (which seems to be the perfect combination for me).
For what it's worth, I've read about others who have doubled the dose of Loratadine (or take one pill every 12 hours instead of every 24 hours as recommended), but the effectiveness is not doubled and it makes you drowsy.

There is some good news from the land of 10 months of rain and 2 weeks of summer…
Well folks…it has been completed. If you remember from the past few posts, Betty Newsinger who was the former [and I will say here best lyricist] lyricist for Renaissance had written a song about the situation�between my crush and I. This came about due to the fact that we had connected through You Tube, as well as a mutual friend…come to find out we both have some similar medical issues and other things. Plus…I mentioned to her that I have used a lot of Ren's….meaning her….material in communicating my feelings to the person�who I am enamored with. One would expect someone who was a communications major at a SUNY school all those years ago to be an expert wordsmith,, but alas my skills are not that great.
Talking to those about fixing s PC? Yes. Speaking to my doctor about the treatments and why some may not work on these old bones? Yes. Chatting with those on the aisles at Kroger about which Tillamook Cheddar works with fruit or a shorthand recipe for Coq au Vin? Yes. HOWEVER the when it comes down to the heart and how it sees and feels, that is where there is a problem. And where help, an assist from the verbal bullpen comes in…so in this case I could not ask for a more experienced, more adepth person to convey where the heart is.
So without further delay:
Randi's Video
And yes….Betty's name is up on the front end of this before it is said. After all, these are her words and music, putting light to my thoughts…and in case you are wondering about the lyrics…I am working on getting those uploaded to here or another site.
Now a little more from the heart here: when I first saw this and read the lyrics I was in tears. It is as though this had captured not just where both of us are….but the fact that it seems my crush and I are talking in a Socratic dialog. Granted I did not see it as that yet, but it took a new fresh set of eye to do so.
Does this video and the lyrics mean there is going to be some closeness coming soon? I hope so, fervently but that is up to the fates. And maybe those will be kind….after all this is not a big request for one's heart to be happy.
So til next time…which will be after I hit the 5-0…..gee that is going to be nice. It will be just another day…perhaps with more than the usual pomp and circumstance.

So, I forgot yesterday was Sunday. Here are your sentences.
He didn't try to disuade me with his words, just let his body tell me how he felt. "Besides, we are in your parents' living room and they are only in the kitchen." His voice was teasingly low, thrumming softly against my ear. It was totally dirty war fare. He knew the things that set me off, even if I couldn't remember him learning them. He gave a low chuckle at my growl, nuzzling at my neck.

A former Norwich man is facing allegations he inappropriately fondled several young girls during a sleepover birthday party for his live-in girlfriend's daughter in Norwich.
A former Norwich man is facing allegations he inappropriately fondled several young girls during a sleepover birthday party for his live-in girlfriend's daughter in Norwich.
Ryan P. Lowe, 32, of Claymont, Del., was arraigned in Norwich Superior Court Tuesday, a day after he waived extradition in a Pennsylvania courtroom and was picked up by Norwich police. Judge Barbara Jongbloed ordered a $50,000 bond in the case, dropped from the $350,000 bond set on the warrant.
Lowe, a table games dealer at Harrah's in Pennsylvania, was wanted in connection with an incident in October 2009, when three young girls claim he touched them inappropriately during a sleep-over party. He is charged with two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and one count of risk of injury to a minor.
Police started an investigation in 2009 initially based on a complaint by a 12-year-old girl who reported that while sleeping with six other girls in a friend's living room, Lowe had tried to lift her shirt up, attempted to put his hand down her pants and stroked her hair, according to an arrest warrant affidavit prepared by Norwich Police Detective Damon Wallace.
Another 12-year-old at the same party said she "was sleeping and felt someone touching her head and pants," the affidavit reads.
"She woke up and pulled her blanket around her to stop him from going into her pants," according to the report.
It wasn't until speaking with the other alleged victim that police said the girl, "realized she did not dream the incident and told her mother."
A third alleged victim came forward, police said, accusing Lowe of fondling her hair and breasts.
Lowe, who apparently separated from his girlfriend after 10 years together, was living in Tampa, Fla. when police first spoke with him in December 2009 about the night in question. He emphatically denied the accusations and said he "does not know why three girls would make a claim of inappropriate touching," according to the warrant.
Lowe's girlfriend's daughter also was interviewed as part of the investigation, telling police her friends lied. Asked why she thought the girls lied about the incident, the girl "reiterated that Lowe lived with her for 10 years and he did not touch her inappropriately."
Lowe is due back in court Oct. 20. He was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victims.

I give my students detailed feedback on their essays using the DocViewer annotations. However, many of my students never see my feedback because they are not alerted when I leave annotations. When I leave a comment, it shows a small dialogue box next to the assignment in the grade book, but there is nothing that alerts them to annotations. It's impractical to rely on students to click on the assignment, click submission details, and then click view feedback when they have no way of knowing if feedback has even been left.

Q&A with Entrepreneur Kathryn Starke
Kathryn Starke is an urban literacy specialist, author, speaker, and founder of Creative Minds Publications, LLC, a global reading educational company. She helps failing schools become fully accredited in reading in one to two years. Her books are used in homes and schools in all 50 states as well as 26 countries on 6 continents. http://creativemindspublications.com/
Can you tell our readers about your background?
I graduated from Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia with a BS degree in elementary education and a Master's degree in literacy and culture. I taught first, second, and third grade in Title I inner-city elementary schools in the Richmond, Virginia area before becoming a K-5 reading specialist. I wrote my first children's book when I was teaching second grade.
What inspired you to start your business?
I originally started my business to promote and market my first book, a multicultural children's book entitled Amy's Travels while teaching full time.
Where is your business based?
My business is based in Richmond, Virginia.
How did you start your business? What were the first steps you took?
Since I was teaching full time when I first started my business, I worked on my company nights and weekends. Once I wrote and published my first book, I created a website to sell the book and promote the link through a variety of correspondence. I also planned book readings, talks, and events around my home city to share my book with fellow teachers and families.
What has been the most effective way of raising awareness for your business?
Social media has by far helped raise awareness of my business. In addition, my presentations, workshops, and freelance writing for educational and parenting publications have increased the awareness and presence of my business.
What have been your biggest challenges and how did you overcome them?
My business is in its twelfth year, which I now run full time. I have faced challenges along the way including the fact that I was told I was too young, that my ideas were cute, and I was not taken seriously because I had no business experience. Fortunately, I had enough faith in myself to continue to work and get results to prove people wrong. I also continued to write letters, send emails, make phone calls, and set up meetings to share my work and story with potential clients and partners.
How do you stay focused?
I am very goal oriented and constantly creating new ventures that I always put 100% of myself into a day because I can visualize the end goal. I'm a driven, ambitious, focused woman by nature.
How do you differentiate your business from the competition?
In my mind, I am a teacher first and created my company to motivate, support, and inspire teachers, families, and leaders in education. Therefore, I maintain most of my time in classrooms and schools so I'm able to relate directly to my clients. I've also been able to create partnerships with companies like Chicken Soup for the Soul and organizations including 25 NFL teams to make my business and passion in literacy education more mainstream.
What has been your most effective marketing strategy to grow your business?
For me, storytelling has been my most effective marketing strategy. My books, letters, emails, presentations, workshops, and keynote speeches allow me to share my passion and purpose with a wide audience, which greatly grows my business daily.
What's your best piece of advice for aspiring and new entrepreneurs?
My best advice for aspiring and new entrepreneurs is to never give up, develop a thick skin, and be your biggest advocate. Every entrepreneur has a story to tell. Tell yours.
What's your favorite app, blog, and book? Why?
As an author and literacy specialist, my favorite title is the children's book, The Giving Tree.
What's your favorite business tool or resource? Why?
My favorite business tool is my company email account, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram because I can instantly connect and converse with fellow teachers, authors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and potential partners.
Who is your business role model? Why?
Leslie Blodgett is a favorite business role model of mine. She grew up in the mid-Atlantic like I did and simply worked hard to gain her success. She also leads her business lifestyle with compassion, kindness, positive energy, and pure heart. In my opinion, these are traits of a great leader and individual.
What do you have planned for the next six months?
In the next six months, I will be planning and implementing the 2nd annual Tackle Reading across America Day to promote a love of literacy with a passion for football. This takes place with the help of over 25 NFL teams, athletes, celebrities, and educational business leaders. I will also continue to network and meet with potential investors as I build an Ed tech startup to teach the world to read.

How does the S2000 differ from all the other roadsters in the market?
We haven't used a platform from a volume car, and we haven't used parts from volume models. The S2000 does not have a retro look. Its X-type chassis stems from racing experience, as does its double wishbone suspension and single body shell. The 2.0-liter engine has the highest specific power output of any normally-aspirated engine on the market. The transmission had to be specially designed to stand up to 9,000 revs-per-minute. The central position of the engine/transmission block gives an ideal 50-50 weight distribution between the front and the rear.
How much of Honda's SSM (Sports Study Model) concept, shown at the Tokyo motor show in 1995, was realized in the S2000?
The basic design and styling, and the suspension system. But the engine is completely new. With the 50-liter tank, you can cover more than 500km.
Former Honda President Nobuhiko Kawamoto worked hard to persuade Honda's directors to give their approval to a purist sports car like the S2000. Did he contribute to the car's development?
Yes, he often made suggestions. But, most importantly, he sent us to Europe to study driving conditions on the German autobahns. This was most important.
Will you install an even more powerful engine in the S2000?
No, it is powerful enough. We wanted to build a fully-fledged, affordable sports car that competes with the best in the market. I think we managed exactly that.
Dealers in Europe, especially in Germany, complain that their allocation of S2000s is too small.
We have raised output in Japan to 16,000 units. But Tochigi (where the S2000 is built) is a plant for gems, not volume. Special cars like the NSX are built there.

|Morning all.
A long time lapsed flyer here,I last tool the controls 20+ years ago as a youngster.
Dad and I still have all our gear, half-finished models and bits n bobs.
I'm slightly getting the urge to fly again, but before I go crackers I'm going to hang around here a wee bit, and see how much the kit has changed since I was a nipper.
Cheers, Pete.

Neither has the model aeroplane or the surfaces to fly it
So don't be put off by the initial surge of new tech

I agree with all the above - especially visiting your local club's field, but also any other clubs 30-40 minutes drive ( or more ) away from home - we're still a pretty disparate crowd, and each club has it's own different feel. Waste as much time as you can on the net too - it's got to be the quickest way to immerse yourself in all the changes since you last flew. A final tip, we're almost at the end of the bring & buy season, a visit to one will give you some idea of what's going on locally and you might pick up something to get you in the air at modest ( sometimes very modest ) cost which you won't mind bending a time or two while you get into the swing again - much less disheartening than re-kitting your first new plane in 20 years. ( That's what I did when I came back - worked brilliantly for me. )

Marathon Runner
This Saturday I will be telling the story of trying to run my first marathon. It was a huge moment in my life, and it's surprising to me that I haven't tried to write about it sooner.
I think the problem with telling a story like this, about a race, is that it could very easily feel episodic. This is what happened at mile 1. This is what happened at mile 3. I finally figured out a way to frame it so that, hopefully, this isn't the case. We shall see.
If you are in Northern Virginia on Saturday, there are two storytelling shows, back to back. The event is a fundraiser for Nature House. So come out for a great show, to hear a hopefully great true story about training for a marathon, or to help support nature education.
