You get into a little fender-bender in your car. Not too much damage but you decide to turn in a claim. All the appropriate estimates are obtained and your insurance company pays for the repairs no problem… except for your deductible. Doh! You forgot about that.
Just to refresh your memory, a deductible can be either a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the total amount of insurance on a policy. Logically, the higher your deductible is, the lower your premium will be. Since you are shouldering more of the risk, you pay less up front.
Here is how it works: if you have a $500 "dollar deductible" and a $2,000 claim, the insurance company would pay you $1,500 ($2,000 – $500). This type of deductible is common for auto insurance and homeowners insurance. "Percentage deductibles" are calculated differently.
In the case of a homeowners insurance claim, the deductible is based on a percentage of the home's insured value. So if your house is insured for $100,000 and your insurance policy has a 2 percent deductible, $2,000 would be deducted from the amount you are reimbursed on a claim. In the event of the $10,000 insurance loss, you would be paid $8,000.
Deductibles are different in health insurance where there a single annual deductible for the policy. With an auto or homeowners insurance policy, the deductible applies each time you file a claim.
For earthquake insurance, California residents can purchase a policy through the California Earthquake Authority (CEA). The standard CEA policy deductible is 15 percent of the replacement cost of the home. The CEA also offers a 10 percent deductible for other structures, personal items coverage up to $100,000 and $15,000 in "loss of use" coverage.
For more information on deductibles, how they affect your premium, and any other questions you may have, make an appointment with your insurance professional. They will explain all facets of your policies and help figure out how you can obtain the coverage you need at a price you can afford.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque concedes his country's FIFA World Cup implosion was enough to bring him to tears.
The defending champions and two-time kings of Europe headed to Brazil with justifiably weighty expectations on their shoulders.
But a scarcely believable second-half collapse saw them humbled 5-1 by the Netherlands in their opening match, while Chile were deserved 2-0 victors next time out to seal Spain's fate before the Group B programme was complete.
They at least bowed out with a 3-0 consolation win over Australia, but Del Bosque spoke frankly to newspaper ABC about an all-round upsetting experience.
"There are things that make me want to cry, but thankfully I keep it all in," said the former Real Madrid boss.
"I'm a sportsperson and nothing hurts more than losing. Every single one of us would have liked to continue in the tournament. This is a World Cup, a fantastic competition.
"We have to accept being criticised because we played poorly in both of our first two games at the World Cup, we simply didn't make the grade, but credit where credit's due to the Netherlands and Chile."
Talk of the end of an era was readily found after Spain's demise, but Del Bosque will take time to reflect before deciding on whether to continue in his post.
"We'll have to see, we'll talk about it... I want to relax at home for now," he added, before insisting the future remains bright for a richly gifted playing group.
"I've already said many times that we'll look at whatever's best for Spain, ensure that the squad does not break up and get everything back on track."

If you would talk to men about their preference for their partners in bed, then most of the men would prefer to have hot and sexy curvy women in Bed. If you ever had some hot and curvy women in bed, then you would not question this opinion. But if you never spend your time with them, then chances are high that you may have a lot of questions about this opinion. If you have such questions in your mind or you want to know why men prefer to have hot and sexy curvy women in bed, then keep reading and you would find the answer easily.
More pleasure
Hot and sexy curvy women in bed are known to give more pleasure to men. Men do get great fun with such women because they get a more real state for playing. They can do many wild things with hot and sexy curvy women in bed, but they may not do such things with skinny women. Also, when men are there with curvy women, then they get more cushioning and that increase the pleasure in sex as well. If a man is having more pleasure and bliss in sex with any specific woman, then he would prefer to have that woman for this relationship instead of any other woman or girl.
Cuddle in bed
So that is one key point that can prove this point or opinion to you why men choose to have hot and sexy curvy women in bed instead of slim girls. Also, if they want to do cuddling, then they can do it in a much better manner with sexy and curvy women. But if they try to cuddle up with cute slim girls, then they may not get the same kind of pleasure or entertainment with them. You think about your opinion and you answer me, "Would you prefer to cuddle with a girl that does not have lots of flesh on her?" I am sure, most of you would say no for the answer to this question. When you are in bed then you not only do sex but after that, you like to cuddle up with you woman and you wish to sleep comfortably. This is the time when hot and sexy curvy women in bed can be much better than any slim girl.
Other than this, hot and sexy curvy women in bed can also do some positions that may not be very pleasurable with a slim woman. For example, lotus sex position is something that always feels great when you are doing it with curvy women, but if you do it with a slim woman, then things might not be that good for you. So, now you know they hot and sexy curvy women in bed are preferred choice by most of the men. And if you want to experience or explore more about them, then you can try spending some of your time with them and you may learn much more things about the pleasure that you can have with them. ~ read more

Oakland's newest 'travesty': Ex-cons overseeing cops
'It's a slap in the face to law and order'
In a new plateau in the PC agenda, a move critics are calling a "travesty," the city of Oakland, California, is encouraging former convicts to apply for positions on the city's new police oversight commission.
A notice posted on the city's website advertising the open commission slots reads: "Must be an Oakland resident. Must be at least 18 years old. Formerly incarcerated individuals encouraged to apply."
What's more, the voter-approved measure that created the commission prohibits current and former Oakland police officers, as well as police union employees, from serving.
Jeff Roorda, a retired police officer and four-term Missouri state representative, said this move borders on insulting.
"It's a travesty, but it's not surprising in the era we're living in," he told WND. "Cops aren't afraid of oversight, but is it really oversight when you're putting the convicts that these guys are sworn to protect us against in charge of telling them what they've done right and wrong?"
Roorda, who wrote the book "The War on Police: How the Ferguson Effect is Making America Unsafe," said Oakland's decision is part of the war on police. He said anti-police bias is likely to be a problem for any former inmates appointed to the commission.
"That bias is quite different when you're talking about cops analyzing the situations that other cops find themselves in versus looking at it through the eyes of a criminal, a convicted criminal," the former officer said. "It's one thing to have people providing oversight that can relate to the very difficult job that police officers do and understand the challenges they face, versus somebody tainted by the fact that they had to pay a price for their misdeeds."
Veteran journalist and author Cheryl Chumley, who wrote the book "Police State USA," nevertheless said Oakland's effort to recruit ex-cons to oversee the police sounds like a bad idea.
"Former police need not apply – but former inmates should? Tell me that doesn't reek of an agenda, and a misplaced one at that," Chumley told WND. "Given the majority of inmates in America's prison systems are black and minorities, you don't have to be a prophet to predict where this is headed – right down a path of Black Lives Matter-type revenge on police.
"It sounds like the city's looking for commission members who are akin to former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder – individuals who will put skin color at the top of the checklist and mete out policing policies and recommendations based on personal assumptions about race."
It's never been tougher to be one of the men in blue than it is right now. Get "The War On Police: How the Ferguson Effect Is Making America Unsafe" now at the WND Superstore
Roorda, on the other hand, does not think race is a major factor in the case.
"Everybody that's been behind bars thinks that they were wronged by the system, but we've got to start at a place where you have confidence in the system in order to improve it, and if you just don't believe the system can work at all, which is the way ex-cons see it, then how do you address the problems that might exist in law enforcement?" he reasoned.
Independent writer, producer and WND columnist Jack Cashill said Oakland is the wrong place to put ex-cons in charge of police oversight due to the city's tense recent history of police-community relations. It was only eight years ago, on New Year's Day 2009, that a BART police officer fatally shot Oscar Grant III, a young unarmed black man believed to be involved in a fight on a train. The officer claimed he thought he was using his taser gun, not his handgun.
"In a saner environment, there might be some logic to putting ex-cons on a police oversight commission, but Oakland is no one's idea of a sane environment," Cashill told WND. "A few years back, city residents howled for the head of a cop who made an honest mistake in the shooting death of a young black troublemaker [Grant] at the Fruitvale BART Station. They made a movie about the young man and sent the cop to prison. In Oakland, this is a bad idea."
The commission's nine members and two alternates will be selected by the mayor and an eight-member civilian selection panel. Tal Klement, a deputy public defender serving on the civilian selection panel, said encouraging former convicts to apply is in the spirit of the ballot initiative the created the oversight commission.
"Part of the measure itself said they were looking for people who had experienced police contact, and obviously if you are formally incarcerated, you have experienced police conduct and potential misconduct as well," Klement said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Chumley, however, rejects that notion.
"Seeking out felons to fill the slots of a police commission is just offensive," she opined. "It's a slap in the face to law and order – to the police who work hard to root out crime on a daily basis. The slap especially stings when it comes to the 'No Police Need Apply' sign that's hung alongside the application ad. The message is: Criminals, not cops, know best how to police. And that's simply ridiculous.
"Former convicts can weigh in any time on how the police are doing. It's called a telephone, and they can pick it up and call their city representatives, their city departments, their city law enforcement officials, and provide feedback, both positive and negative. They don't need to be given a special reach-out – and they certainly don't need to be put in a position of authority or influence, where they actually have occasion to influence how policing is conducted."

In this talk I will discuss how information about topology of a solid state (cold atom) system can be extracted by means of Wannier functions. I will first introduce the method for computing topological invariants of insulating band structures and illustrate it with applications to real materials. I will then show that this method, being purely numerical in the solid state context, can be simulated experimentally in the context of cold atoms. It solves the problem of measuring topological indices of artificial band structures realized in optical lattices in a straightforward manner. Time permitting I will discuss the issue of topological obstruction that appears in Z_2 topological insulators and I will describe an explicit procedure to construct Bloch states that are globally smooth on the Brillouin zone torus, thus allowing one to construct exponentially localized Wannier functions for these insulators.

We have hunted the net to find the very best casino bonuses just for you. Playing online is quick and easy, the convenience is one of the main reasons we play, but another massive draw card has got to be the rewards. An online and mobile casino can offer rewards and bonuses beyond your wildest belief. Have you ever been given free money or free spins at a land based casino? Yip, we thought as much!
We can help you understand the bonus structure and teach you how to get the most out of your new player perks. You will have access to the best online casino reviews and you are able to register an account at these brands directly from The Casino Bonus. All you need to do is select the bonus that suits your needs, read our casino review to make sure you will enjoy the casino and then register for your casino account.
There are many different casino bonuses so it is important to understand what each type of bonus is offering you. Often it is easy to get overwhelmed and immediately go for the option that looks like it is offering you the most. But sometimes less is more and when it comes to cashing in on these types of rewards and getting the best out of your bonus you need to make sure you understand the lingo. We have selected some of the most popular online casino bonuses and broken them down so that you can understand exactly what you are getting.
The most common bonuses will be free spins and free money bonuses where you are required to make a deposit in order to unlock the reward. There are a few casinos that offer the no deposit bonus but not that many and the rewards are often very low. The no deposit bonus has started to dwindle due to player abuse, often people sign up multiple accounts to claim this reward with casinos having to foot the bill. Due to this, the no deposit bonus has become less popular on sign up offers but regular and loyal players are often given this type of perk as a thank you.
Most of the time you will be required to complete an action in order to qualify for a bonus. Whether you register at the casino or make a deposit make sure you read the full bonus terms and conditions. In the past online casinos offered bonuses that were easy to claim and take advantage of. They have learned from these mistakes and now offer a casino bonus that will not only benefit you but also protect the casino from abusers. You cannot claim a purchase match bonus and then simply withdrawal all the funds from your account. You are required to fulfil wagering or playthrough requirements or you will forfeit your handout.
A playthrough or wagering requirement has been set in place to protect the casino from the financial risk of bonus abusers and not to stop you from reaping the rewards. In order to get the very best from your casino benefits, you need to make sure you understand playthrough requirements and the terms and conditions.
Generally, you will be required to wager a multiple of your initial deposit plus bonus before you can cash out. If you cash out before this has been completed you run the risk of sacrificing your casino rewards. The multiple you need to wager will vary between brands so make sure you check this information. To understand wagering requirements better we will take you through an example:
It is important to make sure you read the terms and conditions and check to see what casino games are legible. Some casinos only allow you to claim wagering requirement from certain games.
Even though we love a good casino bonus we do not encourage registering at any brand to simply claim bonus rewards and benefits. We can't stress the importance of playing at a licenced, regulated and certified online casino. Your safety and security should come before any bonus additions. Every single brand suggested on The Casino Bonus has been tried, tested and approved by the team. We will never refer you to a casino that cannot guarantee the safety of your personal and financial information. On top of that, we will only recommend licensed casinos that are approved by independent auditors and deemed as fair play. With us, you will find the best casinos bonuses at the very best online casinos.
Well, what are you waiting for? Take a look around and get to know us a little better. We are confident you will not only find the best casino bonuses on offer but also the very best online and mobile casinos out there. If you are not 100% satisfied or think we could do a little better then let us know by dropping a line on our contact page. We always like to hear from you guys good or bad!

A recently enacted law that limits how long people can stay at motels in Costa Mesa was illegally designed to target low-income residents, a lawsuit filed against the city alleges.
The Public Law Center, a Santa Ana-based pro bono law firm, sued this week on behalf of a group of residents to block an ordinance adopted last August limiting when motel guests can rent a room for more than 30 days.
Under the ordinance, which took effect last month, motel owners must apply for a conditional use permit to allow any new long-term tenants. To be granted a permit, the motel must meet requirements such as providing on-site laundry facilities, installing kitchens in every room and having at least 75 rooms.
The organization contends the local law exacerbates a shortage of low-income housing in Orange County and violates state and federal housing and disability laws.
"For years, the motels have acted as a much-needed safety net for people facing financial hardship as a result of losing their jobs or work-related injuries," the Public Law Center said in a statement.
An Orange County judge Tuesday denied the law firm's request for an emergency restraining order to block the motel law, meaning the matter probably will be settled at trial.
In court, attorney Mark Erickson cited the story of Sally Ozuna, a 72-year-old woman with a failing liver who tried to live at the Costa Mesa Motor Inn on Harbor Boulevard.
"We simply do not have the money to pay for first and last month's rent and security deposit on an apartment," Ozuna, who uses a wheelchair, wrote in a declaration.
She and her caretaker son left Costa Mesa after they were told they would have to leave the room they had rented within 30 days.
"I cannot handle the physical labor of monthly moves from motel to motel without worsening my health," Ozuna said.
But Ozuna acknowledges that the ordinance didn't force her into homelessness, Chris Neumeyer, the city's attorney, told the judge.
"They haven't shown anybody who was kicked out on the street who is now homeless because of this law," Neumeyer said.
Mayor Jim Righeimer, who led the 3-2 vote to adopt the ordinance, said it was a misinterpretation to think that it was targeted at driving out poor people.
"We're not getting rid of any rooms," he said. "We're not getting rid of any beds."
The idea behind the ordinance, the mayor said, was to make long-term residents periodically take stock of their lives and consider where else they could live for the inflated amount they were paying per square foot at a motel.
Lili Graham, an attorney with the Public Law Center, scoffed at the idea.
"The mayor speaks as if all of his city's residents have a choice in being poor and, after evaluating their life at the end of 30 days, they can then magically live in a house or an apartment," she said. "That is not the reality for our clients."

AU Demand rises higher
Property Here - Saturday, August 17, 2013
SUPPLY in the Gold Coast new apartment sector has reached its lowest level in a decade with fewer than 1000 units now on the market.
The Colliers International research showed there were 166 apartments sold during the June quarter, putting this year's sales about 49 per cent up on 2012.
Colliers residential director Tony Holland said the Gold Coast market had turned and was on its way back up.
"The first signal that the market was improving was a rise in volumes, which was first evident in the March quarter of last year," he said. "Sales volumes have continued to increase over the course of 2012 and over the first quarter of this year. While this quarter has seen a slight fall, this is due to the lack of availability of stock, rather than a lack of interest from buyers."
Mr Holland said two or three new apartment projects were likely to be launched off-the-plan in the next six months. More were in the planning stages, to follow after mid-2014.
"Based on the current sales rate, the remaining new apartment stock on the market could be absorbed within 17 months," Mr Holland said. "There will be serious undersupply at that time, particularly in the low-rise sector, until these new projects get off the ground. Buyers are identifying that the fundamentals of the Gold Coast market are strong, and this increasing buyer demand, coupled with an undersupply, will lead to growth in prices over time.
"Over the past year projects that had a significant overhang of stock, such as Oracle, Hilton and Soul have sold a significant number of apartments and people are buying into them with confidence.
"They know the future looks good for the Gold Coast, with around 10,000 people moving to the region every year and significant projects such as the 2018 Commonwealth Games set to give the area a huge boost."
The North Shore Precinct was the best performer for the sixth consecutive quarter, with 58 sales across eight projects in the June quarter. Seven projects sold out, leaving just 28 projects remaining.
Of the three apartment sectors, highrise was the most popular with 95 sales across 15 projects followed by medium rise with 59 sales in 12 projects and low-rise recording 12 sales across eight projects.

How Dieselgate saved Germany's car industry
The scandal forced automakers to focus on electric vehicles
By Wolfgang Kerler
This is North Korea minus the labor camps," Germany's premier magazine Der Spiegel wrote in 2013 to describe Volkswagen, the country's largest automaker. The statement referred to the way Martin Winterkorn, then-CEO of VW, was leading the company: no one dared to criticize his decisions, not even top executives. A climate of fear prevailed.
Winterkorn was convinced that diesel vehicles would be decisive for Volkswagen's success in the coming years. Under his leadership, VW wanted to significantly increase the market share of diesel in the US. It launched the now-infamous clean diesel campaign to boost sales numbers. Winterkorn didn't think much of electric vehicles, although Tesla was already selling its groundbreaking Model S. Too expensive, too little range, he said.

National Symposium for Perspectives in Work Studies
Prof. Dienel will represent TU Berlin at the National Symposium for Work Studies in Saarbrücken from 10-11 November 2017.
The event is organized by the Landesinstitut für Pädagogik und Medien (LPM), the GATWU, and the Landesfachkonferenz Arbeitslehre.
Problem-based Teaching in the Transition Era
Food, energy and transport sectors, just to mention a few, must rethink their current strategies and face their own specific set of challenges: sustainability, economic feasibility, and negative externalities. The transition towards a new model (and new technologies) is definitely on the political and economic agendas.
However, this implies an increased need for broadly educated, skilled engineers, able to frame those issues within social shifts, innovation and different business models. In the past two decades, new approaches have carried a fresh stance in STEM teaching: this workshop will discuss how problem-based teaching can shape a new generation of engineers, who can cope with complex tasks, well beyond technological competences.
In the framework of the strategic partnership between TUB and University of Technology Sydney, the workshop aims to share and discuss the current experiences.
The event will take place on Friday, the 29th of September 2017, from 10:00 to 12:00, at TU Berlin, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin - Room MAR1.065b
Convener: Dr. Massimo Moraglio, TUB
Down Under Research: The Australian Experience towards Sustainable Futures.

The event will take place on Tuesday, the 26th of September 2017, from 10:00 to 12:00 in Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin - Room MAR 1.065b. Convener: Dr. Massimo Moraglio, TUB
New publication:"Citizens' Participation in Urban Planning and Development in Iran"
Prof. Dienel has published a co-authored the digest "Citizens' Participation in Urban Planning and Development in Iran".
The book, published by Routlegde, aims to shed light on the paradoxical question of participation in Iran: it is old and new, dysfunctioning and functioning, disappointing and promising. This slippery status of participation convinces scholars to suggest contradictory interpretations and understandings about the existence, functionality, and potentiality of this concept.
The book therefore shows the different perspectives, interpretations, historical developments and case studies of participation in Iran, thus giving the reader a kaleidoscope view on the question of participation in Iran.

New Research Report: Acceptance of Digital Technologies in Local Public Transportation
The research project VERS, funded by the BMBF, has released a new research report. The report collates responses to a survey of 1,200 users of the Berliner public transportation system. In the survey, researchers asked riders about their technology preferences, user concerns, and intentions concerning automated access systems in public transportation. More specifically, the riders were asked about a "Check-In/Be-Out" System, in which riders would check-in to the public transport system using a smart phone or chip card (check-in) and would automatically be checked out upon exiting the system (be-out).
The report is intended for both an academic audience (innovation technology acceptance research) and praxis-oriented actors in transportation economy, transportation politics, and transportation services. The goal of the report is to provide and instructive picture of the wishes of users, their habits, and their hesitations as they relate to new technologies in order to provide a guide for implementing new technologies in transportation.
This year's Mobility2Grid Forschungscampus Symposium took place on 05.10.2016 at the EUREF-Campus in Berlin. The focus of this years symposium was the new MBA program "Sustainable Mobility Management," which will launch in the Winter Semester of 2017. During the event, sixty members of the academic and economic communities came together to discuss the future and design of the program.
After a welcome address given by Prof. Dietmar Göhlich, director of Mobility2Grid e.V., Prof. Hans-Liudger Dienel, the director of the Forshungcampus' Topic Area 5 "Education and Knowledge Transfer", presented the symposium's program schedule, which was designed to be both informative and participatory. Prof. Matthais Gather of the Fachhochschule Erfurt and Prof. Wolfgang Schulz of Zeppelin Universität Friedrichshafen then provided an overview of the MBA's concept and development process, which had focused especially on the culling together of suggestions from other fields of study. Kristina Kebeck of the GIZ then gave a talk on the potential of this new program. Afterwards, participants worked together in small groups, in which they developed further ideas for the program.
The event also gave participants the chance to become familiar with other master's programs that are currently on offer at the EUREF-Campus. Prof. Joachim Müller-Kirchenbauer introduced the "Energy Management" and "European and International Law" MBAs. Karoline Karohs presented the MBA in "Building Sustainability - Management Methods for Energy Efficiency," which was launched this year.
The Mobility2Grid Forschungscampus Symposium was organized by Topic Area 5 "Education and Knowledge Transfer."

My sister--can you say, Bridezilla?--is getting married tomorrow, the whole family's freaking out about the wedding, and nobody seems to care that my prom is a week away. I don't have a dress, a date, or a plan--but maybe a cute groomsman will solve all my problems?Judith Graves Old Flames Die Hard
My boyfriend, Travis, split town--a senior year hit and run. I almost didn't recover. Evan drew me to life. We were even going to the Harvest Moon dance together. Tonight. So why didn't I tell Travis to drop dead, when he called, asking me to meet him…at the graveyard?To get these fun free reads, sign in to join our Yahoo! Reading Group.

A few close calls, a few near misses, and with every rejection, I knew I was getting just a little closer to my goal of getting published. Visit Denise at her website.

The crossroads is a venerable metaphor in American song and poetry. Robert Johnson devoted a seminal blues song to it in "Crossroads Blues" and Robert Frost provided an ironic take on it in "The Road Not Taken."
Yesterday Barack Obama concluded his swing through red states in Montana. The New York Times reports that, speaking at a picnic outside the World Museum of Mining in Butte, Obama declared that the nation had "hit a crossroads and we've got to make a fast turn."
Times reporter Jeff Zeleny explains that Obama was urging voters at an Independence Day celebration to support his candidacy if they wanted to end the war in Iraq. The key to decisions at the crossroads, however, is not the speed of the turn. At the crossroads we can turn in either direction with equal speed. Deliberation is of the essence because we seek to make a wise choice.
JOHN adds: Speaking of the Fourth of July in Butte, I liked this photo of Barack Obama downing a hot dog while Michelle looks on in what appears to be a combination of amusement and horror. The picture strikes me as emblematic of the moment, as Obama's supporters are coming to understand that he is a lot closer to Tip O'Neill than Ralph Nader. And, to add one more metaphor to the mix, Obama is sending strong signals that he has no intention of dancing with the ones who brought him.

Although, if my students are any indication, I am expecting to see about a million Princess Elsa costumes this Halloween, I thought it might be fun to dress up as a different royal this year. Despite myself, I couldn't help swooning over pictures of Kate and her baby bump last time around, and I'm sure this pregnancy will be no different. So this Halloween, what could be more fun than throwing on your chicest shift, tucking a pillow underneath, and topping it all with a ridiculous hat? You might just meet a prince, or, at the very least, satisfy your inner little girl's princess craving.
What are some of your favorite costumes you've worn in the past?

Why Gandamo?
More than thirty years of experience in sales of goods and services, national and international, direct and indirect.
Our mission:
Increase the sales productivity of our customers
To know if the productivity increases, you need to be able to compare. That is why an audit is important.
Gandamo can do a full audit with the following objectives:
- a clear inventory of the current status of the sales team and its results
- a gap analysis between the current and the desired state and results
Based on the audit conclusions, we make recommendations for significant, and "sustainable" productivity gains.
This can only happen by raising the sales organisation to a "systemic" level, where the productivity gains are embedded in the structure, the processes, communication and mindset.
If you wish, we can assist you in the implementation, and take care of the necessary training.
Are you absolutely convinced your sales team is at the top of its game? If not, let us help you.
Hope to meet you soon,

To celebrate 25 years since the dynamic duo of Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner gave us The Goonies on the big screen, the Blu-Ray gods have blessed us with the above (available November 2).
Needless to say, I nearly hyperventilated when I happened to catch this announcement while browsing through Amazon. The film represents a true landmark of my childhood, one of the first movies I had seen in a theater (the first, or the earliest I can remember, was the re-release of Pinocchio sometime in the early 80s). I have vague memories of my grandmother taking me to see The Goonies in one of the old moviehouses on Main Street back in New Rochelle. It must have left a huge impression on me because whenever it showed up on TV, I would drop everything and glue my eyes to the screen. Perhaps it was the whole wonder-and-awe sentiment of the film, allowing millions of little boys and girls to indulge in their ultimate fantasy -- that there's adventure and excitement (and pirate's booty) just waiting to be discovered in your own backyard.
Once my family had recording capabilities on our VCR (circa 1992, embarrassingly late compared to others), I'd tape the movie to keep for future viewings. It wasn't until I was in high school when I finally got the unedited VHS copy in its plush and oversized family-friendly case; I could officially add it to my library, proudly shelved alongside Jurassic Park, My Best Friend is a Vampire, and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Cut to 2001: My mom had bought our first DVD player on Central Avenue in Yonkers for a then-reasonable $250. Later that summer, I visited a friend in Philadelphia and, upon stopping at a nearby Suncoast, discovered the DVD had contained commentary by the reunited cast. I freaked out and immediately purchased it before hopping on a train back to New York. Goodbye crappy VHS. Hello newly minted DVD...with bonus features! I was ecstatic.
And now, nine years later, I am a giggly little boy all over again...and somewhat sad to know that there exists an entire generation that probably doesn't know the movie at all.
If I ever see the words "Goonies remake" printed in Variety anytime soon, I may have to pull a Sloth and bash the heads of a couple of studio execs.

Week in review podcast: Leaks, sexism, and the end of meritocracy
Jonathan Freedland is joined in the studio this week by religious affairs correspondent Riazat Butt, Guardian leader writer Anne Perkins, and Tim Samuels, presenter of Men's Hour on BBC Radio Five Live.
With another ream of secret documents thrust into the public domain, we begin by discussing what the Palestine Papers tell us about diplomacy in a WikiLeaks world. (Be sure to listen to our Focus podcast about the reaction in Middle East to the publishing of these documents.)
Also in this week's show, David Schneider gives us his analysis of the Andy Gray and Richard Keys sexism row. The pair were on-mic but off-air – so was this another example of this new WikiLeaks world, where nothing is off the record?
Finally, we examine how class and privilege has crept back into British politics and ask - much as Andrew Neil did this week - has meritocracy had its day?
The Guardian is editorially independent. And we want to keep our journalism open and accessible to all. But we increasingly need our readers to fund our work.Support The Guardian

"You okay? Need some help?" a deep smooth drawl startled me and I jerked my head around to see a guy smiling at me from the other side of the gas pump. His dark brown eyes appeared to twinkle with laughter as he stared back at me. I didn't have much but I did have some experience with guys. Enough to know even when they were gorgeous, like this one, it didn't make them a good person. I'd lost my virginity to a smooth talking southern boy with a smile that made panties drop all over the place. It had been the worst experience of my life. But this one might be helpful. He wasn't offering sex. He was offering to help me. At least I thought he was.
"I can't… I, um… See I've never…" God, I couldn't even say it. How did a nineteen–year-old girl explain that she didn't know how to pump gas? Laughter slowly bubbled up in my chest and I covered my mouth. He was going to think I was insane. I swallowed my laughter the best I could and smiled up at him. "I don't know how to pump gas."
I want it now! NOW! It's not fair! Why must authors torture us so?

Hello. Thanks for being a guest on my blog today. Can I offer you a virtual cookie?
Ooh... a cookie! Okay, since it's virtual, I'll say yes. Unless virtual cookies have sugar in them? They don't, do they? Because that would be bad.
Pretend for a moment that your books are your children. Please introduce us. We'd like names, ages, quirks, birth story, any details you would like to share.
Hmmm. Are you not into this because you're a man? That's okay. Next.
Please give us a peek into your writing life. How much time each week do you spend writing? Is your desk messy or clean? Do you have a schedule or are you sporadic? What helps you stay motivated? We want to know what makes you tick as a writer.
It sounds like you should give us some advice on motivation. I'm sure a lot of writers struggle with that. I know I do. Perhaps a blog post some time?
Please tell us some of your favorites.
Favorite treat:Gosh, I don't know. We cut sugar out of our diets several years ago, so I don't keep that kind of stuff around much. Hmm... special occasion type stuff... chocolate from Recherche Du Plaisir. I swear it's the best in the world, and I'm in the middle of giving away a box of the stuff as a prize for a short story contest I was running. Also croissants from Cafe de Croissant. Any kind, although I might like the chocolate raspberry best.
Favorite stress reliever:Hmm... that would have to be the hot cocoa I make. No sugar. When the kids really get to me, I want to sit down with a mug of that in the evening.
Favorite office supply:Um... paper? Or a pen? Paper and pen. Because I carry a notebook with me when I go places to work on my secondary project that I work on when I'm away from my computer.
Favorite punctuation mark:Semi-colon. Definitely. It's completely underrated.
Favorite day of the week:There are different days of the week?
Favorite movie:Well, if you've been to my blog, you'll know that I don't do the whole "favorite movie/book/song" thing. Those things are too likely to change over time. That said, Star Wars. It's been with me longer and has been more significant in my life than anything else.
Describe for us what your surroundings would be if you walked into your favorite piece of art. Feel free to be as literal or figurative as you would like.
Well, you'd need to define "art," I suppose. Do you mean, like, a painting? Or any kind of art? Because if you mean any kind of art, I'd walk right into Star Wars as a Jedi Knight. But I'd have to think about when I'd want to do that in the continuity of the movies. I certainly wouldn't want it to be during the Clone War era. That would be a short life as a Jedi.
See the resemblance? Hey, art is art. That totally works. Thanks for joining me today, Andrew! If you'd like to learn more about Andrew and his writing, check it out here.

If you have a dream in which you have a bowel movement, this suggests that you might have to go to the bathroom.
This is actually not that deep as far as dream interpretation goes, but the fact is, some bodily processes can't shut down all night especially if you have been suppressing them for a long time and a bowel movement is a perfect example of that. Sometimes you just need to let it out and no matter what time it is, even if you are asleep, your body will draw up images of it in order to wake you up. Have you ever had to urinate in the middle of the night and consequently dreamed of toilets or waterfalls? This is the same basic principle.
Have you had a dream in which you were making a bowel movement and everyone you knew was watching you, or that you were pooping in a toilet and someone kicked in the door and saw you doing it? This suggests even more embarrassment with the corporeal form. Some humans are basically sad about their bodies and their makeup. We feel as though we are inferior for all of the bodily functions that we must participate in when in reality they are simply necessary and everyone does them.
That said, having a dream in which others watch you make a bowel movement can also be representative of general feelings of embarrassment. Have you done anything silly lately that you felt like people should make fun of you for? Have you made any stupid mistakes or have you accidentally bared your naked body to someone? Any of these things might represent a reason that you would be dreaming of having a bowel movement.
Sometimes the toilet can represent a place of purity and cleansing. To dream that you have a bowel movement in a toilet can simply be suggestive of the idea that you are finally clean and that you have been trying to get something off your chest for a while. Do you have a secret to tell or something to say that you know you will be suppressed or not taken well? Do you feel dirty and like you need to clean yourself. Perhaps you feel burdened with stresses and need to alleviate yourself from some of that. All of these might be reasons that you dream of having a bowel movement in the toilet.
Think about that the next time you have a bowel movement in your dreams. It is nothing to be embarrassed over. In fact it just means that you are doing some necessary maintenance on your mind and soul. While in real life this is regular body maintenance, in the dream world this represents alleviation of the mind, something which is of equal importance in life and should be noted as such. Don't be so embarrassed about your body in the future.

3 Apr 2012
After a Sudanese businessman falls ten stories from his hotel room and is impaled on the fence below, Mimi detective Jimmy Paz finds a most unlikely suspect in an otherworldly creature named Emmylou Dideroff, who claims to commune with the saints.
Her scribbled 'confessions' tell the remarkable tale of a woman from the wrong side of the tracks - thief, drug dealer, prostitute - who has been called into the service of God in a most unusual way. Might this 'service' include the murder of the Sudanese businessman, whose close knowledge of oil reserves could be contributing to genocide back home?
Police psychologist Lorna Wise must determine whether the suspect is legally insane, but when people associated with her start turning up dead, both Paz and Lorna begin to suspect that there's something much larger at stake than Emmylou's guilt or innocence.
....... Outer back cover.
FIRST SENTENCE (Chapter 1): The cop happened to look up at just the right instant or he would have missed it, not the actual impalement, but the fall itself.
MEMORABLE MOMENT (Page 27): "That was a schizophrenic Cuban, Emmylou."
"Yes, an angel of the Lord. Not all of them are pretty blondes with feathery wings'"
MY THOUGHTS: The second in a series of books, I have to say that, apart from the occasional reference to the first book, this read perfectly well as a standalone novel.
Alternating between the story of the crime of which Emmylou Dideroff is accused (IE the killing of Sudanese oil baron Jabir Akran al-Muwalid) , her written notebook 'confessions' and a history of the fictional order known as the Nursing Sister's of the Blood of Christ, it is my opinion that it is only the story of Emmylou's crime that is is any way interesting. OK, so it could be argued that Emmylou's confessions give a lot of background information but I'm sure it needn't have taken quite so much time to do so but why the history of the Nursing Sisters?
Too 'busy' for my tastes, there is simply too much going on - Catholicism, Voodoo, religious conversion, miracles (?), gangsters, secret agents, possible mental illness, it's all here and more.
And as for the characters?
Hmm, I don't want to go into too many details here but suffice to say there was really only Emmylou that I found believable. Quite well written I did enjoy how the author kept us guessing as to her true nature ....... saint or sinner, able to commune with the saints (and the devil) or merely delusional, who is to say?
The other main characters, Detective Jimmy Paz and psychologist Lorna Wise just weren't very believable . Not particularly well depicted, I felt there were a lot of contradictions in Wise's character, strange to say I know but it felt as if the author didn't know her very well.
Not a novel I enjoyed, as harsh as it sounds, to me it felt as if the writer was trying to be too clever and it just didn't work.
KEEP IT OR NOT?: Ex-library stock, would it surprise you to know that I won't be keeping this?

I've always found impaling on a fence like that a most gruesome death!
Perhaps a little "busy" for me, as well. Always kind of a relief when a book doesn't appeal that much being as I won't live long enough to read all the ones I DO want to read as is!! (and that's counting on a good, long life!)

Hello Petty,
You have nicely laid down the pros and cons of this book. Although the author has tried hard to make the book interesting, it has its shortfalls. Sometimes we buy books hoping it will be interesting but we are disappointed.Just reading the cover sometimes doesn't help.
You have beautifully summed up the book.
Have a nice day,

text: Stéphane Brizé's La Loi du Marché, one of four French films in the official competition for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival, is social realism at its grittiest and most unforgiving. Mostly set in one of the featureless out-of-town shopping centres much loved by French directors of late (Louis-Julien Petit's Discount, Marianne Tardieu's Qui Vive), Brizé's film takes a swipe at society's failure to address the real consequences of France's unprecedentedly high unemployment rate as seen through the eyes of a 51-year-old blue-collar worker. Vincent Lindon, last seen in Benoit Jacquot's Journal d'une femme de Chambre, changes register completely to play Thierry, an unemployed father of a handicapped child who is desperate to find a job after 20 months without work. Lindon's captivating performance as the decent, hardworking Thierry, forced to accept a job which runs counter to his basic principles is almost too difficult to watch and Lindon well deserves a nomination for Best Actor. He is terrific in the role, simmering with an anger and a sense of injustice he never allows to take control. Lindon is more than capable of carrying the whole film on his shoulders and yet he blends in seamlessly with this cast of non-professional actors. But perhaps Brizé's greatest achievement is in telling Thierry's story without a trace of self-pity or melodrama – it's even laced with touches of nicely timed humour.

Today's Gospel: Luke 1:57-66, 80 – Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Today is the Nativity of John the Baptist. The man who became "strong in spirit" was once an infant with a name written on a tablet. His name heralded the beginning of the new. And that voice crying in the wilderness broke through a prophetic silence that had numbed the countryside.
I somehow imagine John the Baptist as a restless little boy whose hair stuck out even when slicked down with lard. He was forever climbing rocks. His hands were perpetually sticky. I'm sure of it.
For generations, the Word of the Lord had been delivered by angels, prophets, burning bushes, and voices from on high. Then one day, a father bowed his head and submitted that his son's name would be John and he would prepare a way for the Most High.
A leader, as we all know, is never silent. John was loud, boisterous, and passionate. As his father's tongue had been silenced due to his doubt of God's message, John's voice was amplified because of his conviction.
Know that when praying to the Lord with your whole heart, soul, and mind, He will answer you. His message might be delivered through a loud, rambunctious little boy who eats grasshoppers and honey and clamors over rocks. Some little boys cannot lie down at night unless they have spent the daylight speaking of great and wonderful things. God uses people such as these.
Accept His way with a joyful fiat.
When I am looking for an answer to prayer or discernment of God's will, do I look to the sides of me and behind; or do I look straight ahead and listen to the voice that leads the way?
Dear Lord, secure in me the knowledge that as long as I walk in the path of John the Baptist and follow Your footsteps, my prayers will be answered and I will know Your will for me. Give voice to my silence by granting me the courage and conviction when a voice is needed.
