Comedy Central produces enough misfires that the appeal of those shows that spark to life, a la "Broad City," is perhaps magnified. So it is with "Big Time in Hollywood, FL," an infectiously energetic, wonderfully silly serialized comedy that feels like a mashup of the Three Stooges and Quentin Tarantino. Featuring several well-known actors in smallish roles (including producer Ben Stiller and Cuba Gooding Jr. as a hilarious version of himself), the 10-episode order isn't exactly highbrow, but contains enough laugh-out-loud moments to indeed put co-creators Alex Anfanger and Dan Schimpf well on their way to the big time.
Anfanger (who had a role in Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty") and Lenny Jacobson (a "Nurse Jackie" alum) star as brothers Jack and Ben, who are living with, and off, their parents (Stephen Tobolowsky and Kathy Baker) in order to chase their filmmaking dreams, producing perfectly awful little films that they post on YouTube.
Like latter-day versions of Dobie Gillis' Maynard G. Krebs ("Work!"), their folks' suggestion that the two move out and get real jobs positively horrifies them, so much so that they begin a series of elaborate lies that lead them down a rabbit hole filled with escalating danger and mayhem.
For starters, they insist that one of them has a drug problem, then engage a method actor (played by Stiller) to pretend to be a drug kingpin and try to shake down their parents to pay the debt. When that goes horribly wrong, Ben actually does have to go into rehab — where he meets the aforementioned Gooding — while mom seeks help from a crusty private detective (Michael Madsen, doing a wonderfully comic impersonation of himself).
And so it goes. Stumbling headlong from one crazy chapter and hare-brained idea to the next, with Ben, Jack and their idiot pal Del (Jon Bass) being such complete morons that everyone assumes they must be part of some massive drug conspiracy. Moreover, the episodes continue to weave in movie parodies and references to the likes of "The Shawshank Redemption," adding a genuine fondness for film to the proceedings, which build toward Ben and Jack's involvement with a movie that is, in fact, simply a means of laundering illicit cash.
Mindful of the Comedy Central demo, "Big Time" isn't exactly lofty in its ambitions, and the writers are a little too enamored with, in particular, erection jokes. Viewers should also be forewarned that there's some gore in later episodes, although it's cleverly played for comedic effect.
Anfanger and Schimpf collaborated on the digital series "Next Time on Lonny," and bring a freshness and student-film-like buoyancy to the approach on this show — essentially constructed as a 10-part half-hour comedy miniseries — which might explain why the various actors who drop in to earnestly play along (among them, in later episodes, Keith David and Paz Vega) look like they're having such a good time.
"It's been a bad week," Jack, the Lucy to Ben's Ethel, allows at one point, exhibiting a gift for understatement as events continue to spiral out of control.
True enough. But for those prone to lament when Comedy Central fails to deliver on the promise in its name, "Big Time" is a very good show.

San Francisco 49ers
Goodbye, Gore? 49ers' all-time leading rusher reportedly heading to Philly
Frank Gore up the middle for no gain.
Barring a last-minute change of heart by the 49ers, that run at the end of a Dec. 28 win over the Arizona Cardinals promises to be the final one by Gore in a red and gold uniform. According to multiple reports, the Philadelphia Eagles will sign Gore to a three-year deal that averages about $5 million annually and includes $7.5 million guaranteed when free agency officially begins Tuesday.
The 49ers are believed to be willing to spend up to $4 million annually on their all-time leading rusher, who turns 32 in May. Gore also reportedly has been telling friends and teammates that he is heading to Philadelphia.
The anecdotal evidence supports a departure as well. Gore's Bay Area trainer, Brian Schwartz, went to Facebook to chastise the 49ers on their decision with Gore. "It's over...Niners horrible business," Schwartz wrote. "You deserve everything that's coming your way..."
The team's No. 2 running back last year, Carlos Hyde, posted a picture of Gore walking off the practice field with his arm around Hyde. Many interpreted it as a farewell gesture to the older running back, who served as the team's workhorse during some of its leanest seasons and who has rushed for more yards – 11,073 – than any other 49er.
Gore cannot sign a contract until 1 p.m. Tuesday at the earliest. If he does ink a deal with the Eagles, Hyde, a second-round pick in 2014, will be the front-runner to take over Gore's starting spot and the 49ers likely will look at other free-agent running backs.
They already have been linked to Buffalo's C.J. Spiller. San Diego free agent Ryan Mathews and Washington's Roy Helu also make sense in an offense that likely will rotate its backs more than in the past and use a stretch-running blocking technique that new offensive-line coach Chris Foerster utilized in Washington.
Despite his age, Gore has shown little sign of slowing down in recent years. He topped 1,000 yards for the eighth time in 10 seasons last year and finished with a better yards-per-carry average than Hyde, who is eight years his junior.
It seems as if Gore – like former 49ers greats Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott and Joe Montana – will play out his career in another uniform.
At this stage in his career, Gore wants two things: another 1,000-yard season and a chance to win a Super Bowl, both of which presumably would nudge him closer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In Philadelphia, he would take over from LeSean McCoy, who led the NFL in rushing yards in 2013 and finished third in the league last season. Philadelphia last week traded McCoy to the Buffalo Bills, and now the Eagles have more than $45 million in salary cap space.
The Eagles also have an innovative offense and one of the NFL's top offensive lines. Still, they fell to the host 49ers 26-21 in Week 4 last season, a game in which Gore had 119 yards on the ground and caught a 55-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass.

Apologies for the sound quality on this sermon; there was a microphone issue!
It can be hard to know who we can trust, when many competing voices are trying to get our attention and our loyalty. In John 10:11-21, Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd." He explains why he is a shepherd (the sheep know his voice) and why he is a good and trustworthy one (he lays down his life for his sheep). Jesus is not content to keep his flock small, either. He wants the good news of his love for all people to spread, so others will hear his voice and be drawn into his flock. Jesus never forces our trust. He wins it by proving himself to be the one who loves us above all others, by laying down his own life for us, his sheep.

Management information systems and microcomputers in primary health care: issues and challenges.
In: Management information systems and microcomputers in primary health care, edited by Ronald G. Wilson, Barbara E. Echols, John H. Bryant, and Alexandre Abrantes. Geneva, Switzerland, Aga Khan Foundation, 1988. 17-20.A wide array of issues must be addressed if the development and use of management information system (MIS) and microcomputers are to improve management of primary health care (PHC) programs and increase the equity and cost-effectiveness of PHC. These issues include: specification of the purpose and objectives of MIS at community and district levels; distinquishing types of information required; the understanding of organizational issues that must be resolved as a result of introducing MIS; the practical definition of the most useful indicators of program effectiveness and efficiency; the specification and monitoring of data collection, compilation, and analysis requirements and procedures; procedures for generating and using processed MIS data and management information; the PHC program's capacity to absorb technological innovations; and personnel requirements. The need for improved data systems must be recognized. Data quality and systematic flow of information must be ensured from the field level upwards, and minimum information requirements need to be defined. The success of any MIS is heavily dependent on feedback of the data collected. Unless staff at all levels of a PHC program understand the importance of the data they are collecting, the value and use of the information system will be negligible. Examples of the Egyptian government's National Health Information System and the role of the World Bank are used to show how MIS and microcomputer can be introduced and used in PHC.

Crows are the only wildlife featured in Dead by Daylight .
Often found in pairs, they are usually perched on top of rocks and crates around the outskirts of the Map, but can also be found standing on the ground in an area without rocks and crates.
Regular Crows[edit | edit source]
If a Player is too close to a Crow, they will make a small noise and fly above the skybox. They will then return 15 seconds later, possibly making another smaller sound as they land. This event can be triggered by both the Survivors and the Killer. The noise of Crows will not present a visual cue to the Killer, unless they have the Perk Spies from the Shadows , which provides a visual cue at a certain range.
Survivors can prevent startling a Crow by crouching past it or by equipping Calm Spirit , a teachable Perk of Jake Park.
A cloaked Wraith will also not startle Crows. However, when the cloaked Wraith touches crows that are on the ground, they will fly away.
Crows tend to land near a Survivor if they stay still for too long.
Stillness Crows[edit | edit source]
Stillness Crows are special Crows that will spawn above a Survivor's head, flying in circles, if that Survivor is staying in an area for too long without performing any interactions such as repairing a generator for example. This also applies to when a Survivor hides inside a Locker for too long, though the crows will then be perched atop the little roof.
Stillness Crows will caw, a noise than can be heard quite clearly from several metres away, which can alert a Killer who recognises this to your location. The circling crows are also quite visible from a distance, which will further alert an experienced Killer to your location, even without the noise indicator from the third Stillness Crow.
Up to three Stillness Crows can appear unless the Survivor moves away from the area they were in or starts performing interactions. The third Stillness Crow will give the Killer a noise indicator to the Survivor's precise location.
This is to prevent Survivors from going AFK in Lockers for the whole duration of a game or for hiding in the same area for too long (e.g. Hatch camping).
Spawn Time[edit | edit source]
|Stillness Crow
|Time the Survivor is inactive
|Noise Indicator?
|60 seconds
|75 seconds
|90 seconds
Note that the Killer will receive the noise indicator 5-10 seconds before the third Stillness Crow appears.
Losing Stillness Crows[edit | edit source]
In order to lose Stillness Crows, a Survivor needs to start interacting with something in the area or leave it and move on to another area of the Map. Crows are lost in regular intervals. How quickly they are lost depends on the way the Survivor is trying to get rid of them:
|Stillness Crow
|Time the Survivor is active
|immediately (interaction) / 5 seconds (leaving the area)
|15 seconds
|30 seconds
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- On The Pale Rose, there are many Crows sitting on the main landmark, the Paddle Steamer. When either a Survivor or a Killer walks into the main landmark, they will caw at the same time and fly away. The cawing can be heard across the whole map, alerting every Player to someone's presence on or near the Paddle Steamer. Both Killers and Survivors can use this to their advantage.

Today, in honor of Jordin Sparks having to forever associate "This is My Now" with the night of her American Idol win, let's share the ballads (inspirational and/or cheesy) that have marked moments in our lives (good and/or bad). As always, I offer a couple to get you thinking:
• Picture it: Syracuse. Fall of 1993. It's my first night in a college dorm. My roommate and I discover we both liked Aladdin. We put on the soundtrack. And sing along to "A Whole New World." I can't remember if it was the movie version or the Peabo Bryson/Regina Belle cut…Shudder. We'll never know because I can't go back there.
• Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance." In 2000, I was stuck in a miserable job with an even more miserable commute home each night. This song was in radio rotation at the time — and I never changed the station. Also, a friend of mine — and it really was a friend — had just gone through a bad breakup and burst into tears when this song came on at a diner. To quote Truvy (Dolly Parton) from Steel Magnolias: "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion."

Cosby Sentenced To Prison For S-x Assault
A judge in Pennsylvania has jailed comedian Bill Cosby for three to 10 years for s-xual assault.
Cosby, 81, was also categorised as a s-xually violent predator, meaning he must undergo counselling for life and be listed on the sex offender registry.
The actor declined to make a statement when offered the opportunity.
At a retrial in April, Cosby was found guilty of three counts of s-xual assault for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004.
Cosby's request for bail pending appeal was denied.
The comedian became a household name in 1980s America when he starred in the Cosby Show TV sitcom, playing the father in a well-to-do African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York.
Such was his popularity that he was dubbed "America's Dad".

By Stephen Farrell
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - It is three o'clock in the morning and Artak Tadevosyan is wafting incense through the corridors of Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site where Christians believe Jesus Christ was crucified and buried.
"Walking in the Lord's footsteps, really, you have feelings that cannot be explained," said the 26-year-old Armenian Orthodox cleric. "We don't see it as stone, all these are holy places for us."
The Holy Sepulchre lies in Jerusalem's Old City. A church was first built there in the 4th century under Constantine the Great, the Roman emperor who converted to Christianity.
Today, the Greek Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches share custody of the building, and tensions sometimes run high over who controls what.
Other denominations also hold services there, in languages including Latin, Arabic, Aramaic, Amharic and Ge'ez.
At night the building falls silent. Muslim families have long held the door key, because of the tensions between the Christian clergy.
In the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate nearby, His Beatitude Theophilos III, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, said he feels deep reverence for the church.
"For the Christian world the Holy Sepulchre is the heart of Jerusalem and the world," he said during preparations for the Orthodox Christmas on Sunday.
"Why? Because this particular place, which is the rock of the crucifixion and the rock of the tomb, or the burial site, of Jesus Christ, has been watered, and therefore blessed, by the blood of The Righteous One."

Posted on 24 March 2014 at 16:06 GMT
An article from the April 2014 issue of Socialism Today
Mourn the loss, fight for the future
With the deaths in quick succession of Bob Crow and Tony Benn, the trade union and labour movement has lost two principled socialists and militant fighters. Their presence at meetings and demos will be sorely missed. While we mourn their loss, however, the best way to mark their passing is to renew the struggle against austerity, poverty and war - and to fight for the socialist transformation of society. Peter Taaffe writes.
A spectre is haunting capitalist commentators, right-wing new Labour and their hangers-on, following the deaths of Bob Crow and Tony Benn. It is Militant (now the Socialist Party) - seemingly dead and buried decades ago, according to these very same sources - which now seems to haunt them. First came Polly Toynbee, who attacked Tony Benn for giving succour to Militant, who she described as a "virus" and an "evil" influence on the Labour Party. Her authority on this issue? She was "a member of Brixton and Lambeth Labour Party", and witnessed our alleged "evil" approach. Yet no leading member in the Labour Party in that area at the time seems to remember her 'contribution', other than joining the 'exit tendency', the ex-Labour traitors who left in 1981 to form the Social Democratic Party (SDP). The SDP split the Labour vote in the 1983 general election and opened the door to Margaret Thatcher.
If anybody is guilty of facilitating the coming to power of Thatcher, it is those like Toynbee who preferred Thatcher's victory to the triumph of left and socialist ideas within the Labour Party and society at large. It was a peculiar caricature of Lenin's alleged idea of 'revolutionary defeatism' - in her case, counter-revolutionary defeatism - preferring the victory of the enemy, rather than your own side.
Then came the House of Lords denizen, Liberal Democrat Shirley Williams. She was also an SDP deserter from the Labour Party. In a spat with Labour MP Diane Abbott on Newsnight, Williams attacked Tony Benn with the same charge sheet of association with Militant. Then, to cap it all, Andrew Rawnsley complained in the Observer: "[Benn] never disowned, and stood in the way of dealing with, the Militant Tendency and other far-left entryists who were poisoning Labour from within. He does not bear sole responsibility for the split that led to the formation of the SDP, but he was one of the most crucial triggers for it".
Tony Benn supported Militant when the right wing attacked and expelled us because he recognised, as the Labour Party rank and file did, that we were being hounded because we fought successfully against capitalism. Under our influence, the working class scored big victories: in Liverpool (1983-87), and in the anti-poll tax battle, which eliminated the tax and, in the process, overthrew Thatcher, as she recognised in her memoirs. Tony Benn also attacked the Observer and refused to buy it when, in complete contrast to its opposition to the Suez invasion in 1956, it supported the war criminal Tony Blair's invasion of Iraq.
The Observer, when estimating Tony Benn's contribution, is Hydra-headed. It's editorial, in marked contrast to the spiteful and shallow 'analysis' of Rawnsley, was more measured. It said: "[Benn] was in favour of nationalisation of the major utilities and against fat cats growing fatter". It pointed out that, unlike others (including New Labour MPs, invisible to voters), in a poll in 1984 in Chesterfield, Tony Benn was known by an incredible 90% of the electorate!
In the above comments, and the equally nauseating, unctuous, hypocritical articles praising Bob Crow and Tony Benn, is a theme: that hopefully these two big figures were one-offs, 'the likes of which we are unlikely to see again'. Some have even suggested that the trade unions, already half the size in membership - though not in potential power compared to the heyday of 1980 - will completely disappear in a few decades. As if the class struggle can be conjured away by a few bourgeois scribblers! The reaction of working people to the relentless offensive prosecuted by the capitalists and their governments will see the emergence of a militant and political trade union movement that can exceed even the past considerable efforts of Tony Benn and Bob Crow.
The economic recovery mirage
Serious capitalist commentators fear this. William Keegan, who also writes for the Observer and is far more discerning in examining the dire economic situation in Britain in particular, reported that a Marxist academic titled a seminar for bankers and industrialists, 'Has Capitalism Seen Its Day?'
This is because they see the scale of the crisis confronting British and world capitalism, and correctly fear and anticipate the reaction of the working class. Despite the claims of chancellor George Osborne that the economy is on the road to recovery, at the end of last year it was almost a fifth smaller than if the growth trend before 2007 had been maintained. Martin Wolf of the Financial Times baldly states: "The future is, alas, not what it used to be. Forecasters believe that most of the lost output is gone forever". The output gap, a measure of excess capacity, is estimated officially as 1.8% of gross domestic product, but "even the most optimistic, Capital Economics, believes it is 6%".
The only possible 'justification' made by its defenders for the continuation of capitalism with its monstrous inequalities is that it can still develop the productive forces - science, technique and the organisation of labour - and so generate more jobs, increased wages, etc. This requires the capitalists to invest part of the surplus extracted from the labour of the working class back into production. Yet throughout the world investment has flat-lined or even fallen - particularly in Britain, with a 20% fall in investment since 2008. According to a study by financial advisory firm, Deloitte, "about a third of the world's biggest non-financial companies are sitting on most of a $2.8 trillion gross cash pile". Nonetheless, investment has dropped dramatically, despite the fact that 'the cost of capital' is so cheap; interest rates in Britain are at a 300-year low.
UK productivity compared to its rivals is now at its widest for 20 years, with output per worker 21% lower than the average for the other members of the G7: the US, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and Canada. The much vaunted 'recovery' of Osborne and Cameron is a mirage. The capitalists, described by Karl Marx as the 'trustees' of society so long as they develop production, now betray this 'mission'. They show all the parasitic tendencies of a system in decay, with $80 billion handed back to shareholders in the US, rather than ploughed back into production.
Ever deeper in debt
It is possible that some groups - the so-called squeezed middle class and better-paid workers - will benefit from concessions in the Budget and other measures which could alleviate, for some, the costliest childcare in Europe. However, those who have been dubbed the 'cling-ons' - because they have, up to now, desperately clung on to their previous economic position and status - are now threatened. They have piled up debt, as have those benefiting from the 'Help to Buy' scheme. This is stoking a new housing bubble which could, in time, become a British version of the US subprime scandal with a new round of home repossessions. If a pint of milk had risen in price at the same rate as house prices over the last 40 years, it would cost over £10!
Any growth is debt fuelled. To some extent credit, as Marx pointed out, plays a necessary role in extending the market beyond its limits, acting as a stimulus to growth. And we would welcome any growth in the economy which, like the US fast-food worker strikes last year, could encourage workers to fight and try to take back what they have lost in the recession.
But Adair Turner, one of the few farsighted capitalist economists, warned: "Over several decades before the crisis, private sector credit grew faster than gross domestic product in most high-income countries". He added that capitalists "need credit growth faster than GDP growth to achieve an optimally growing economy, but that leads inevitably to crisis and post-crisis recession". In other words, like a drug addict, capitalism now depends on debt-fuelled growth - and the financial bubbles which accompany this - just to maintain any momentum for the capitalist system.
This does not guarantee growth in Britain or elsewhere. Capitalist economists fear what Larry Summers, US treasury secretary to Bill Clinton, has called "secular stagnation": the 'Japanisation' (decades of stagnation) of world capitalism. The alternative is unsustainable financial bubbles resulting, down the line, in further economic crashes even worse than the one we are going through today.
A symptom of the dire situation facing the working class is the proliferation of payday lenders, who target the most impoverished workers with scandalously high interest rates for loans. There is already one payday lender for every seven banks in the shopping centres of Britain. At the same time, Barclays Bank is closing down 400 of its branches, throwing hundreds of workers onto the dole.
Government planned misery
This goes together with the scandalous fact that 5,000 people have been treated for malnutrition in the past year while food banks mushroom, compelling doctors to send one in six of their patients to these outlets. Presumably in the interests of a healthy body, Osborne and Cameron are reported to be on a diet that allows just 600 calories two days a week. They have put millions on an enforced diet, forcing working people to choose between heating and eating.
The Church of England, once described as the Tory party at prayer, has lacerated the government over the scandal of food banks and the inexorable rise of poverty and inequality. Even the government admits that there are half-a-million workers on zero-hour contracts. Unite the union claims that the real figure is one million, most of them short-term workers on inadequate hours and poor conditions.
What of the economic future? It is one of unremitting gloom for working people if the capitalists and their government get away with even part of their programme of cuts. A million public-sector workers' jobs will have been cut by the Con-Dem government by the time of the next general election. Public-sector wages are now below those in the private sector. Any drop in unemployment - paltry in real terms- has been accompanied by underemployment and a vicious squeeze on wages. The jobless rate remains at over 7%. But, if the underemployment rate (9.4%) is taken into account, there are, in effect, a hidden half-a-million who need to be added to the official total of 2.3 million unemployed.
Such are the vagaries and contradictions of capitalism that, in general, young people want more hours while the over-60s want fewer! David Blanchflower, economist and former member of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee, said that anyone who believed the forecasts of the Bank and the Office for Budget Responsibility, that real wage growth would turn positive in the second half of this year, is living in "gaga land".
We are only part of the way through the planned misery enshrined in the government's deficit reduction programme. According to Nick Clegg, deputy prime minister, we can expect another 25 years of austerity! Osborne's cuts programme is only a quarter of the way through its target. More cuts will take place before next year's general election. Afterwards, the axe will be wielded even more, no matter who wins.
Miliband's betrayal
The overall circumstances working people face, which compelled the TUC to officially sanction a 24-hour general strike - while refusing to organise for it in practice - have only worsened. The situation is unlikely to improve with the advent of a Labour government led by Ed Miliband. He has already been called 'François Miliband' by The Economist, comparing his alleged "growing contempt for capitalism" to that of the disastrous French president Hollande. Hollande, who raised taxes initially, has now become more 'business-friendly', promising big business a £30 billion programme of cuts. This has not stopped his popularity rating falling below 20%!
Moreover, even before coming to power, Miliband has got his 'betrayal in first', to use Neil Kinnock's infamous expression. He has promised, through shadow cabinet ministers like Rachel Reeves and Ed Balls, to implement most of the cuts already sanctioned by Osborne. Therefore, nothing can be expected for working people from a New Labour government. Leo Panitch, writing in the Guardian, alluded to the dilemma that confronts any government remaining within the framework of capitalism and wishing to carry through reforms: "Perhaps the greatest illusion of 20th-century social democrats was their belief that once reforms were won they would be won for good. In fact, we can now see how far the old reforms were subject to erosion by expanding capitalist competition on a global scale".
This confirms what Socialism Today and the Socialist Party have always argued. We do not rule out the fight for and the achievement of reforms, increases in living standards and partial nationalisation - which Bob Crow and others achieved for their members. We have also argued, however, that to become lasting, these reforms have to be linked to a struggle to change society in a socialist direction. Panitch was connected with Ed Miliband's father, Ralph, and made a telling point: "And there can be little doubt that to sustain reforms in the old progressive meaning of the word, today a government would need to implement extensive controls to prevent an outflow of capital, and probably have to socialise financial institutions in order to get the necessary room for manoeuvre".
He hit the nail on the head, but we need to go a bit further. The measures he proposes form part of the programme that we have put forward for Britain. At the same time, we raise the need to take over the monopolies, begin to implement a democratic socialist plan of production, and then appeal to other workers internationally to follow suit.
Not only is there no chance of Miliband implementing this kind of programme. He will not even attempt serious and sustained reforms, as Lenny McCluskey and other trade union leaders still hope. Indeed, Miliband is so conscious of the dire economic circumstances after the 2015 election that he is now afraid of Labour solely taking power.
Coalition manoeuvring
This is the explanation for Balls reversing a previous position by promising that Labour would now serve in a coalition with the hated Liberal Democrats. This would involve seeking to unload onto their 'partners' the odium for any unpopular measures, much as the present coalition parties' farcical manoeuvres to present themselves in the best light before the 2015 election by rubbishing their 'partners'. The only problem with this scenario is that, after the election, the Lib Dem could be toast!
Clegg, in a desperate attempt to rescue some semblance of support from the wreck of the Con-Dem coalition, has indicated his preparedness to join a Miliband government. However, Lib Dem president, Tim Farron, sees what is in store when he said that 'none of the above' on ballot papers now means that the Lib Dems are 'one of the above'. Their only hope of avoiding electoral obliteration is to be rescued by Miliband. The fact that the latter can consider sharing power with the Liberal Democrats means that no hope can be placed in a Miliband government.
New Labour is now so far to the right that Grant Shapps, Conservative Party chairperson, claimed farcically that the Tories have become the 'Workers Party'! Therefore, the decision of Lenny McCluskey and Unite to remain within the Labour Party, while the organised presence of the unions within the party has been completely eclipsed, offers no salvation to Unite's 1.5 million members, or to the wider working class. He has also called for tax breaks for firms who claim to have 'good industrial relations' with the unions.
Len McCluskey should oppose any concessions to big business, given their present bloated profits, invariably accompanied by low wages. Figures have shown that even car workers - in a booming industry, it is claimed - in real terms, receive less than they did before the crisis. Millions of low-paid workers are struggling to keep their heads above water. If any tax concessions are made, they should be to working people as a whole. The ultimate solution is the socialist transformation of society, however, the only way of ensuring improved and lasting concessions.
Look to the future
Militancy and socialism will reappear in Britain and elsewhere. The ground for this to develop is to be found in the catastrophic economic conditions - despite Osborne's blandishments - the searing inequality built into the foundations of capitalism, and the consequent horrific attacks on all the past gains made by the working class.
"Slander becomes a force only when it meets some historical demand", wrote Leon Trotsky. It does not work when the working class is on the move, as it will be in the next historical period. The capitalists and their media frontmen like Rawnsley have a half-formed picture that a mass revolt is brewing, and which will take many forms, not least the beginning of a real political alternative in the form of a new mass workers' party. One of Bob Crow's lasting contributions, which he will be remembered for, is his participation in the formation of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC), a forerunner of a mass working-class party.
No amount of slander - against leaders and individuals prominent in the workers' movement - is capable of preventing the ultimate march of history. At most, together with other unfavourable factors for the struggle, it can only slow down the process. Bob Crow was described by those who are now praising him as "the most dangerous man in Britain". Tony Benn was described as "clinically insane", and compared to Hitler by the Sun. Militant, in Liverpool and elsewhere, was vilified in a 'great slander' campaign, including by the Liberals who threatened that the pope would "excommunicate" its supporters. This did not prevent Liverpool Labour Party (when it was under the influence of Militant), scoring its highest ever vote, when it was a real workers' party at bottom.
Nor did it prevent the recent victory of Socialist Alternative candidate, Kshama Sawant, in Seattle. In this case, the strategists of US capitalism were unprepared and did not believe that Kshama would storm to victory - initiating a surge in interest in socialism in the citadel of world capitalism as well as a mass campaign for a $15 an hour minimum wage. They will now attempt a counter-campaign, in vain. Nor was Owen Jones, the left-wing celebrity, who maintains a deafening silence over the reasons for Kshama's victory while he rubbishes any idea that something similar is possible in Britain.
The sceptics will be confounded as the British labour movement rouses itself to confront a diseased and rotten system, and all those parties which are associated with it. It will create not only a mass movement of struggle but also replenish from its ranks new fighters and leaders to replace those who have gone before. We salute the memory of these two powerful labour movement figures, Bob Crow and Tony Benn, and honour their memory in the struggle for a socialist future.

THE SETUP: Wouldn't it suck if your whole life was shattered when your husband is sent to prison? There's therapy for that. Wouldn't it suck more if you lose everything while waiting four years for him to get out of prison? There's a drug for that. Wouldn't it suck the most if you then kill the guy due to the effects of therapy and drugs? Or is that what's really going on? Lots of questions.
THE THOUGHTS: From the director that started his professional career with a tale about Sex, Lies and Videotape, it seems only fitting that his possibly last film will be a bit more of the same (heavier on the sex and lies, not much on the video). Steven Soderbergh tries his hand at Hitchcock aka a story of twists and turns, people not what they pretend to be, and a focus on dialogue rather than action. Does it get as good as the master of suspense? Nope. But it's still a pretty entertaining show.
THE YAYS: Jude Law is a great as a psychiatrist becoming obsessed at the thought of being mislead, almost to the point of ruin. You can almost feel his desperation and confusion at what he thought he was involved in and the truth as it slowly is revealed to him and us. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Channing Tatum play more supporting characters (contrary to what the trailer might say) but their great as a rival psychiatrist and the convicted love interest respectively. If it's anyone's show, it's Rooney Mara. The biggest movie she'd done previously was the American remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (you'll have to read but see the original) and she really owns this role.
The storyline is intelligent and feeds you just enough of the mystery to keep you guessing but wanting to stick around for how it's going to end. It doesn't talk down to the audience like a lot of movies do, feeling the need to spell things out. This is a modern psychological thriller, in the good way.
THE NAYS: The complaints probably come around Jude Law's character. As really the lead of the movie (and it takes a bit for that to become clear), you don't really feel a need to cheer for him. There are attempts at showing the disruption to his home life due to the film's events but you don't feel it. He's just not an overly sympathetic character when that's what they want him to be.
SIDE EFFECTS Rating:
4 stars – you'd recommend this. A well executed and well acted, especially by Mara, movie that makes you think it's headed one way and leads you in quite another. Haven't enjoyed a movie that's twisty/turny like this in a while.
Random Recommendations
Requiem for a Dream (2000) – Drugs are bad. You'll certainly feel that way after watching this movie about the impact drug addiction can have on you and your relationships. What you'll give up and what you'll do to score. It's really hard to watch sometimes but that doesn't mean it's not effective. A great film from director Darren (Black Swan, The Wrestler) Aranofsky. If you're looking to feel good, not your movie.

Oklahoma St., Florida St. share NCAA team lead
Just in case Jesper Kennegard and his Arizona State teammates forgot about the Sun Devils' NCAA championship at The Honors Course in 1996, coach Randy Lein has spent plenty of time reminding them.
"Since the fall he's been saying, 'We have something good going on here' and 'I want to do what we did in '96,'" Kennegard said. "So yeah, he's been saying that a lot to us. We're kind of making fun of it now, but we're getting a good start anyway."
After the first round of play at the NCAA Division I men's golf championship on Tuesday, Kennegard was off to an especially good start, shooting a 4-under-par 68, putting him in a first-place tie with Augusta State's Henrik Norlander in the individual competition. Oklahoma State and Florida State shared the team lead at 5-under.
The challenging par-72, 7,395-yard course was made softer and more forgiving by weekend rains and calm, overcast weather. That gave several competitors among the 156-man field a shot at beating the course record 5-under-par 67, first shot by Tiger Woods en route to his NCAA individual title in 1996 while at Stanford.
Despite the addition of 356 yards since the 1996 tournament at The Honors Course, four teams beat the previous low round score of 286. The 5-under 283 shot by the Cowboys and Seminoles set the new record.
"It's a hard, hard golf course but there's absolutely nothing that made it harder to play today," Oklahoma State coach Mike McGraw said. "It was just dead calm and you had a little bit of moisture to keep the greens from being too slick."
Clemson's Luke Hopkins was 5-under after 17 holes but hit into a bunker on the 18th and two-putted to end the round with a double bogey, costing the Tigers a share of second place in the team competition and putting him into a 10-way tie for third. Florida State's Seath Lauer bogeyed on the same hole to also finish with a 69.
"I just tried to hit it up on the fairway and hit a good shot but unfortunately missed the fairway by a couple of yards," Hopkins said. "I hit it into the bunker and it was kind of a downward spiral from there."
The tournament is being played under a combination stroke and match play format for a second season. All 30 qualifying teams and an additional six individual players are competing in three days of stroke play, and those 54 holes will determine the individual medalist and will cut the field to a final eight teams for three days of match play.
Oklahoma State's Peter Uihlein hit a birdie putt on the final hole to for a 69. The Cowboys came out of stroke play in last year's tournament leading the field but were upset in the first day of match play.
That quarterfinals loss doesn't appear to have left Oklahoma State with any less confidence this year.
"A lot of guys psych themselves out with this being a national championship," Uihlein said. "That's just kind of our motto. That's how Oklahoma State's always been. If we just stay patient and play our own game, I think we'll be OK."
Oregon was third with 284 strokes, followed by Texas A&M with 285; Arizona State and Clemson with 286; and Florida and Augusta State with 287.

As a volunteer there are some terms that we use on a frequently like "foster", "adopt", and "rescue". These words are pretty straight forward; however, I am shock how many people do not know what they really mean.
Fostering dogs does not mean dogsitting your friends dog because they are an irresponsible human and signed a contract for an apartment that does not allow dogs. It means providing a dog from a shelter a temporary home until they find a permanent one (usually to avoid euthanasia). Fostering is an important part of operation for a lot of shelters. It gives dogs that need a little work/training the opportunity to be adopted. It also frees a space within the shelter for an additional dog to get an opportunity to be adopted(note: when there is not room dogs get turned away for immediate euthanasia).
Adoption: if you purchased your dog from that breeder at the 7/11 selling dogs, you did not adopt you bought/purchase a life as if it was a product. Most of the time these sellers are mass producing this "product" and that is sick(see: puppy mill backyard breeder). What is worse is I see signage from these breeders using words like "adopt". They will do anything to sell another "product". Consider them far worse than a greasy car salesman.
Rescued dogs come from shelters, "rescues", or situations that literally put the animals life in danger (which should then be turned over to a shelter for proper medical care). I have heard people say they rescued their dog from that crazy breeder lady, sure you also contributed to her business and she will take that money to breed more animals exponentially. So rescue your next animal from a shelter. They may or may not have a great rescue story but their life is on the line in most situations. If their life is not on the line, the vacancy it would create saves another who otherwise would get turned away.
I have heard people say they want a specific breed and that is why they go to a breeder. I usually respond by saying we have pure breed(not that it is better) dogs that came from a shelter. Just do some research, look on petfinder, you may even find a whole rescue dedicated to your desired breed.

Open Vs. Closed Fracture Care
- By John Verhovshek
- In Coding
- January 2, 2014
- 1 Comment
Open fracture care is reported when the provider creates an opening to expose the bone to treat the fracture. Open fracture care is not performed in the emergency department; instead, the patient is taken to an operating room. Closed repair, by contrast, is made without an incision.
The patient may present with an open fracture (the bone pierces the skin), but may still receive closed fracture repair. For example, the provider may manipulate the bone back into place, repair the wound, and apply a cast.
The bottom line: The treatment performed dictates the type of fracture care reported, not the patient's diagnosis.

It is my understanding that not only does the physician create an opening to expose the bone but has to remove the fractured bone. This is per AANS Guidelines.

Just $15 a person for a day with the medicine wheel!
Medicine wheels have existed for unknown generations. They teach us many things and provide portals to using their medicine and energy. Sue and I have shared understandings of the medicine wheel and their construction and uniqueness in different parts of the world. We have also shared how to tap into their power and the spiritual strength of the ancestors and animal guides who populate them.
Sue recently led a few of us in creating a medicine wheel on the banks of the Poudre River just 20 minutes from town. Together we laid the tobacco and age and led the prayers as we built this sacred space. Asking permission of Creator and Mother Earth and the rock nation as we went along, we were permitted to open this circle of spirit. We have given thanks and asked permission to invite others to learn about, and use, this place.
We are offering programs at the medicine wheel and decided to begin at once. The rocks are speaking to us. ☺ This Saturday, July 15 we will meet at the wheel at noon. Bring water and a chair or blanket to sit on if you wish. We will set intentions as a groups and Sue and I will teach about the medicine wheel, the four colors and directions and what each direction houses. We will then do a prayer to the seven directions and learn how to approach and enter the wheel. Each attendee will have time in the wheel to meditate or journey. Then we will share experiences at the level each wishes to share.
We will be done by 3 PM at the latest. For group unity and time to work with the wheel we are limiting it to the first 13 who sign up. We need a minimum of 6 to open the wheel. Spend a few hours on the cooler banks of the river, perhaps learning more than you knew about medicine wheels and acquiring healing energy and spiritual guidance from the spirit guides who will be with us.
Time is short, so sign up now. Go to www.sotem.org and hit the donate button, which will bring you to paypal. Donate $15 each and you are in! If we hit 13 people, we will close registration. Call Jim or Sue at 970-581-0548 with any questions.
Directions: Go north on Rt. 287 out of Fort Collins to Ted's Place (Rt. 14). Turn up Rt. 14 and go 4.3 miles to #4210 River Road - on the mailbox on the right.

Amazon Mini Hair Haul…

Nice haul! I've been considering purchasing glycerine so I'm looking forward to reading about your experience with it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Will certainly let you know.Delete
I love NOW products. My mom bought 1 gallon of Castor oil for me last year. I think a have enough to last me years. Great haul. I like your plans too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Now are extremely affordable for the quantity you get.Delete
Great haul. I've used glycerine in the past but I didn't notice much of a difference. I'm looking forward to seeing your resultsReplyDeleteReplies
Oh no, I sure hope it helps me during this winter season.Delete
Nice picks Tomi! I read somewhere that glycerine also works counteractively in hot and dry climates, drawing out moisture from the hair to itself. Maybe that's why it didn't really work for me here in Kenya. Have you used it yet?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes i think its the general role it plays. I added some of it to my moisturizing mix and no major changes yet but definitely after my relaxer i'll be using it as listed above.Delete
Great buys Tomes. I haven't used glycerine in so long! I used to love it for giving my usual moisturiser a boost xReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds like a great way to use it.Delete
Those are good buys! Will you be using the glycerine even after your winter season?ReplyDelete
Not on my hair directly but in my moisturizing mix.Delete
Amazon is really cool if you find a shop that stocks something you like cheaper....and having 100% pure glycerin is so cool .ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm always shopping around for great deals.Delete
Try using castor oil as a prepoo as well. I used it as such in saturday. My hair is still soft and less fricton among my strands. It will be my prepoo oil mixed with olive oil for a while..coconut oil was not treating me well..my hair was not staying moisturized..i am now five weeks post with new growth starting to come in and it feels moisturized and soft.ReplyDelete
It was giving me too much shedding when i applied it straight from the bottle on to my scalp.Replies
I was thinking about diluting it with coconut oil for my scalp and I experience no flakes even though i only apply it once a week. It increases growth, so i'm not alarmed about the shedding. Its too expensive and too thick to be used as a prepoo, if not i would need to be replacing more regularly than i would like. I'm glad it works like that for you.Delete
I did mix it with grapeseed oil and i dont use large amounts. I put my hair in sections and apply ahout three drops per section. I dont do it like some persons where the hair is completely drenched. I go under the dryer after applying it with a homemade steam process. I live jamaica so the home for castor oil and get it at an affordable priceReplyDeleteReplies
I tried grapeseed oil in the past but wasn't very excited about it then. Maybe i need to revisit it. Aww man the prices there must be awesome. I'm not missing the sun, sand and sea yet.Delete
Nice mini haul. I have yet to try glycerine. I'm looking forward to hearing how it works for you.ReplyDelete

For the past few months, I have repeatedly heard some variation of "and why don't you have a blog?" after I say something unintentionally funny or spend too much time cooking and hosting dinner. So here I go. I just hope I live up to expectations and people get enjoyment out of my mélange of culinary, literary, and comedic posts!
So break out those measuring spoons to cook with me, or curl up in your favorite chair to read with me. Maybe a mix of both, I for one enjoy a nice snack with my read-a-thons! However you do it, welcome to the (hopefully not over) sharing of the everyday life of a 50s housewife wanna be, minus the submissive stay at home part!

How often do you daydream of swaying palm trees, white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters so vivid you can almost feel the warm, salty wind in your hair? When was the last time you were distracted by a picture of a postcard-perfect paradise while slogging away on a long day at work?
There is no need for envy as the tropical utopia of Fiji awaits, home to some of the happiest people on Earth.
Tucked away in the South Pacific, Fiji is an archipelago of 330 islands made up of one thousand miles of unspoiled beaches, fish-filled azure lagoons and stunning coral gardens set against a backdrop of rugged landscapes. Its strategic location means it is ideal for a holiday stopover for Australian or New Zealand travelers.
With an abundance of nature all around, there is always something for everyone in Fiji. Fiji is perfect for travelers from all walks of life, even if you are traveling with kids in tow. Rest assured, your Fiji family vacation will be filled with adventure, learning about its rich indigenous culture, thrilling activities and bountiful sunshine. This starts as soon as you disembark your Fiji Airways flight at Nadi International Airport.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by friendly locals shouting "Bula!", which means "welcome" and "life", as a band of brightly smiling locals armed with musical instruments serenade you while you pass through immigration.
No doubt Fiji is a haven for couples and honeymooners, evidently, from its many gorgeous beachfront gems like Laucala and Six Senses Fiji and its outstanding all-inclusive resorts, such as Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa and Shangri-La Fijian Resort & Spa.
Complete with amenities such as nanny's services and kids' clubs, complimentary family activities and additional meal packages, kids will also have an incredible experience in Fiji while their parents enjoy a romantic time together.
Due to its warm year-round climate, you can dive straight into underwater adventures and discover Fiji's gobsmackingly beautiful coral reefs and thriving marine life, all the while keeping a lookout for the elusive white-tip reef shark. Kids, on the other hand, will love the giant playground that is Fiji's long, white sand beaches.
Alternatively, try a hand at kite-surfing, a popular beach activity, or hop on a buggy tour together while getting a healthy dose of vitamin D and a social-media-envy-worthy tan.
The Mamanuca islands and the Yasawa islands are also perfect places for these beach adventures and eco-friendly diving explorations. Simply arrange for a day trip out to either of the islands.
Once you've had an exhilarating day out and about exploring Fiji, treat your family to sumptuous specialties at one of the many Fijian markets.
Although choosing what to eat may prove to be a hard decision because there are so many mouthwatering local dishes that are made from a wealth of fresh produce, a must-try is the Kokoda (pronounce as core-condaa), a fresh Mahi Mahi fish dish marinated in zesty lemon juice and enriched with creamy coconut milk, sure to tantalize your taste buds. And be sure to have a bite of nama, a type of seaweed colloquially known in Fiji as "sea grapes".
Of course, no trip to Fiji is complete without sampling some kava, the country's national drink made from mixing the powdered root of the pepper plant (piper methysticum) with water. Fiji's vibrant marketplaces are also ideal for picking up a handcrafted souvenir or two.
One thing's for sure: By the end of your exciting postcard-perfect paradise escape, long after your tan has faded, you will have a diverse array of stories to tell.

Originally scheduled to mount the shooting floor in December 2017, Tiger Shroff's much-awaited film 'Rambo' will go to sets in November 2019, almost two years after being officially announced. The film is an official remake of Sylvester Stallone's cult Hollywood film series of the same name.
'Rambo' faced a delay because the leading man, Tiger Shroff, and director Siddharth Anand had a lot on their plates and hence, the makers could not start the project on its scheduled time. "We will start by November 2019. The film will be shot completely in Europe and the Himalayas as the story requires a snowy backdrop," confirms the helmer.
Siddharth is currently busy with another project which also stars Tiger Shroff along with Hrithik Roshan and Vaani Kapoor. He will first complete his current project and then move on to the next. His film with Hrithik, Tiger and Vaani mounts floors in August this year, which will keep him occupied till next year.
The director adds that he needs to sit down with his 'Rambo' team once again to reschedule dates. "The script for Rambo is ready and the preliminary recce is done. Now I just have to re-recruit my team based on the new dates of the shoot," he said.
Tiger will shortly be seen in Ahmed Khan's next 'Baaghi', which is a sequel to his superhit film 'Baaghi' (2016). Right after the release of the actioner, the actor will commence shooting for Karan Johar's 'Student Of The Year 2' under the direction of Punit Malhotra. Hrithik, on the other hand, has started shooting for Vikas Bahl's next 'Super 30', which is currently being shot in Varanasi. He will also start work on his father's ambitious project 'Krrish 4', which is the next instalment of their highly successful sci-fi film franchise, 'Krrish'.

Irish filmmaker Vivienne Dick arrived in New York in the mid-1970s by way of France, Germany, India, and Mexico, becoming a key figure in the city's vibrant Super8 filmmaking set. Thriving on the period's collaborative energy and the small-gauge format's immediacy, Dick adeptly made use of the medium to create some of the scene's most accomplished and evocative films. This program surveys pyschodramas unfolding between characters in edgy tableaux that subsume the surrounding urban atmosphere (at times through layered in-camera editing). She Had Her Gun All Ready is an inscrutable yet droll portrait of codependency between a belligerent Lydia Lunch (Teenage Jesus and the Jerks) and a catatonic Pat Place (The Contortions, Bush Tetras). Lunch returns as the center of Beauty Becomes the Beast, a fragmented assemblage of female imagery. Her dual characters—a distressed child and a teenager tormented by sexual impulses—bleed into each other, offering a feverish, potent view of women under patriarchy. In The Village Voice, J. Hoberman observed of Lunch and the film, "[h]er brilliantly regressive performance...is, in my experience, only comparable to Jack Smith's triumphant evocation of his beatnik misery in the underground classic Blonde Cobra (1962).... It's horrifying, funny, poignant, and enraged."
She Had Her Gun All Ready. 1978. USA. Directed by Vivienne Dick. With Pat Place, Lydia Lunch. Digital video from Super8mm. 28 min.
