I cannot say enough about Regiss. I had a slim budget and they found me the perfect gown at the right price. I am so grateful for their help. They went way above in great service.
I Bought my gown at the Louisville Store and am so pleased. I stopped in on a whim, walked in and the wonderful staff jumped in and found the perfect dress. it was so much fun.
Wonderful selection and helpReviewed on 9/23/2015 Shelby R
From my wedding dress to my crystal headband, Regiss was my first and only choice. Their quiet and calm environment and wonderful staff (shoutout to Kathina) made our experience wonderful and made these big decisions easier.
Poor ServiceReviewed on 11/22/2014 Morgan F
I made an appointment with this bridal store and I was the only person there during my fitting. As a bride you enjoy being pampered a little and catered to when you're looking for your dream gown. When I arrived here I was basically told here's the room full of gowns, this is... Read More how the sizing works and you can use this dressing room right here and just let us know when you're ready. The only help I got was taking gowns off of the mannequins. I had to get into and out of every gown, including hanging it up on my own. The only help they offered was to zip me up. Different employees would stop by during my fitting and pick random dresses for me to try on even though they didn't know my style. Also I wasn't very pleased with the quality of the gowns & last but not least you definitely don't want to buy a gown off the rack here because they have an indoor cat!!
Great!Reviewed on 10/01/2013 Laken H
I love this bridal store I've used it for all my proms and now my wedding. They are great to work with and make certain to help find the dress great for you. Only problem was the alterations women although my dress turned out perfect she's not easy to work with.
Not professionalReviewed on 9/26/2013 Lindsay M
I got both my bridesmaid dresses and tux rentals from Regiss Bridal in Louisville. I did like the dresses, however, the quality of the tuxes and the customer service was not very good. The tuxes were my biggest problem. Don't get your tuxes from them unless you don't care how... Read More they look. The ladies at the shop were slightly rude to my bridesmaids when we were ordering the dresses, but I found out later that they were very rude to my groomsmen when they went to pick up their tuxes. They did not get the right shoes that my fiancé (now husband) and I had picked out. When the best man tried to tell them that his shoes were wrong, they wouldn't listen to him and told him "it would be ok." Half of the groomsmen had the wrong shoes, so half matched and half didn't. After they got home, they showed me the shoes and I called Regiss. They told me they could try to get some in, but they might not be the right size. Hello? We picked out and ordered the tuxes months in advance. They had plenty of time to get the correct tuxes and shoes ready. They insisted that only the best man's shoes were the wrong ones, but they lied, because 3 pairs of shoes were wrong. They gave me a terrible time about getting it corrected, and acted like I was being unreasonable. Of course, this is 2 days before my wedding, so I was very unhappy with their response. We paid for professional tuxes and yet I'm being unreasonable to expect my groomsmen to match?? The quality of the tuxes was terrible. None of the guys tuxes fit right. All of the guys were measured by Regiss weeks in advance, but all them had to have last minute alterations for things like the sleeves being way to long, or the pants being too short. Why bother to measure if they're going to be that far off? I went with my dad to pick his up, and the pants were way to short. The lady acted like nothing was wrong and that I was being a problem to want her to let them out. They looked terrible! The shirts were not white, they looked old and yellowed. I also felt that the overall fit of the tuxes was a little "baggy." They just didn't look sharp like they were supposed to. We made it work, and the wedding still went fine. But, as a "professional" business they should have had the correct tuxes ready as promised. I was very unhappy with their service and definitely do not recommend them, especially for something as important as your wedding.

I shopped with Regiss after a friend told me I needed to go here. I am extremely indecisive and have was having a hard time finding a dress that would be perfect. I was waiting for a gown that felt perfect or would make me cry and it never happened. After looking thru what... Read More seemed like every dress they had anywhere near my size, liking a few but not having "the moment" my consultant took a few minutes to just talk with me. I will never forget the way she talked to me like we had known each other for years. She truly wanted me to be happy. After that I realized I was so stressed about finding the "perfect gown" that I was never going to fall in love. After putting on a couple more gowns for a second time I quickly found the perfect gown! I'm thankful I went there.
Tons of ComplimentsReviewed on 2/27/2013 Jo Beth C
I received the most compliments about my dress. Some girls even asked if they could borrow it to wear at their own wedding :)
I loved my dress!Reviewed on 9/08/2012 Mariah R
BRP can be pricey, but I fell in love with my dress and splurged. They do a very good job showing dresses in your price range and taking care of steaming, etc. Rosa the seamstress there works miracles! But in hindsight, I probably would have gone with a more economical choice of... Read More dress, and splurged more on something that would have lasted like videography.
stay away!Reviewed on 6/30/2012 Stefanie H
Regiss in Louisville was the fourth store I had visited. I had a scheduled appointment and was greeted by an associate in a very bad mood! I am a size 14 which puts me into a bridal size 18. I had no issues trying on the sample sizes at Rebecca's or Bridal Warehouse and I... Read More told the sales associate at Regiss that I understood the dresses wouldn't zip up on me. However, she continued to reinforce that I was too large for the dresses they had :( After finding 5 dresses to try on, we headed to the fitting room where she continued to tell me that the dresses were going to look bad on my because they weren't my size... she could have just said this in a polite way but she didn't! I actually liked the second dress I tried on a lot! However, my friend noticed a small issue in the design of the skirt I didn't care for and the when we pointed out to the consultant that we didn't like this feature of the dress she told me "it looks like that because you're too big for the dress." I was stunned! We returned to the fitting room where I had three dresses left to try on and the consultant tells me that I should not try these on as they are fitted and would not look good on my frame. I promptly left and will not return. They did have some very pretty dresses and I'm sure many girls have had great experiences finding their dresses here. However, their customer service was pathetic and they need to leave their bad attitudes at the door when they come to work.
BEST DRESS EVERReviewed on 5/08/2012 Christy D

Great dress shopReviewed on 11/10/2011 Kelly S
This was the first place I stopped on my dress hunting expedition. It ended up being the only place! I had no intention of buying on the first try, but the shop was so comfortable and had so many options. The girl who helped me, Bethany, made me feel totally at ease. I went... Read More in with a budget in mind, but ended up going over by $400. That was my decision though, not anything she pushed me into. I started my shopping here because I wanted a calm boutique experience for my first time. I'm glad I didn't have to go anywhere else!
AmazingReviewed on 10/27/2011 April K
Bridals of Regiss Park is amazing. They don't try to pressure you into buying a dress. They want you to be happy and they are awesome. They pull dresses that match your figure and unlike "some other store" they know what they are doing and what matches your body type best.
WOULD NOT RECOMMENDReviewed on 10/22/2011 Kassie M
We received a great price on the tuxes for our guys (11 total) but on the DAY OF THE WEDDING, we realized....you get what you pay for! Buttons came off from 2 of the men's jackets, AND one of the groomsmen's shoes fell apart. The sole of the shoe almost came completely off. We... Read More actually had to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart to buy glue for his shoe to prevent him from flopping down the aisle! Upon returning everything, my new mother-in-law was treated less than satisfactory. Instead of apologizing for the shoe that fell apart, they questioned her about leaving the shoes in a hot car! I had picked up the tux in question, so I know it wasn't left in a car, but if that was a reoccurring problem, I would have appreciated the warning upon pickup in order to avoid any possible mishaps on the day of!
Great Bridal shop!Reviewed on 10/20/2011 Jennifer L

I recently purchased a pronovious gown for my Spring event. I live in Louisville and I purchased from the Outer Loop Store. I had 12 bridesmaids and all of them came for the same appointment. The staff was prepared and took time with each one of them. I myself received... Read More special attention. I have been to other stores and have not received such care.
50/50Reviewed on 10/19/2010 Whitney R
The Regiss in Glasgow was extremely accomadating, friendly, helpful, and an all around good experience. The Regiss in Louisville however was the complete opposite. They sized ALL of my bridesmaids incorrectly and NONE of their dresses fit. They also "forgot" to order my flower... Read More girl dress until about 2 months before the wedding. We almost missed the cutoff date for getting the order in. I would seriously recommend NOT even stepping in the door of the Regiss in Louisville!

They were very helpful and patient as I tried to find the right style. The manager is very friendly understanding and cooperative.

The Mid-Ulster Section of The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association Northern Ireland Branch celebrates its sixtieth anniversary this year and to help mark this milestone, the Mid-Ulster Championships for pipe bands and drum majors will be held in Cookstown.
The events will take place on Saturday, 2nd August, commencing at 11.00 a.m., at the Mid-Ulster Sports Arena, Tullywiggan Road, Cookstown.
The Mid-Ulster competition is the longest running Section contest in Northern Ireland.
On this occasion, a total of forty-seven bands and forty-nine drum majors have entered for this prestigious musical extravaganza – a fantastic response from all the competitors.
The entry in itself shows the high regard in which the hard working office bearers of the Mid-Ulster Section are held.
Indeed not too many contests will top the interest shown in this particular championship.
There will be three competing arenas at the Mid-Ulster Sports Complex, two for the six grades of pipe bands and one for the four sections of drum majors.
The honour of 'Chieftain of the Day' goes to Lowry Ferguson from Cookstown, who is a long serving and highly respected member of the pipe band fraternity, and indeed the Mid-Ulster Section.
He is currently chairman of the Section and is pipe sergeant of Pomeroy based Grade 3B band, Matt Boyd Memorial.
On hearing of his selection as chieftain, Lowry said: "My sincere thanks to the Mid-Ulster Section of The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association Northern Ireland Branch for bestowing on me the honour of being your 'Chieftain of the Day' at the Mid-Ulster Championships being held in the Mid-Ulster Sports Arena, Cookstown."
A special fifty-two page souvenir programme has been produced to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the Mid-Ulster Section. It will be on sale at the contest for only £2.00.
The grand finale will commence at 4.45 p.m., with Aughintober, Ballybriest, Tullylagan and Quinn Memorial, taking up position in the centre of the arena to play for the march past of all the competing bands and drum majors.
The organisers are operating a shuttle bus, free of charge, to those attending the contest. The town centre shuttle bus will be available to pick up passengers at the front of the Mid-Ulster Sports Arena and transport them to The Burnavon Arts and Cultural Centre, Burn Road, Cookstown.
This service will be available from 12.00 noon to 4.00 p.m. and will be in operation at both collection points every thirty minutes.
So go along to the Mid-Ulster Sports Arena in Cookstown this coming Saturday and help the Mid-Ulster Section celebrate 60 years.

Great croissants are notoriously challenging to make–layering cold butter between dough and folding it back on itself, rolling out the dough again, then refolding until there are hundreds of layers of dough-butter-dough that puff up in the heat of the oven. Check out this video to see the process in action.
The problem with croissants is the same thing that happened to real bagels. They've been dumbed-down over the decades into the horrible, flabby, enormous catcher's mitts you find everywhere from Burger King to the corner gas station. This week, we remedy that with great croissants from two OC bakeries.
My go-to bakery for croissants is Irvine's Layer Cake Bakery. The plain croissants are fantastic, but the almond version elevates them another level. Baked crisp on the outside, yet still tender and moist on the inside, it pulls apart with just a hint of glutenous resistance.
Let's take a look inside:
The laminated dough puffs up into perfectly delicate layers, rich with the taste of butter, but not in the least bit greasy. The corners and bottoms have just enough browned crispiness for toasty flavor and satisifying texture contrast with the interior. The frangipane at Layer Cake is made from coarse-ground almonds, and combined with a generous ratio of pastry cream. It's about as good an almond croissant as I've had in Orange County.
It's a basic truth that the best French bakeries in Orange County are run by Asians. But recently, a friend (thanks, Adam C!) tipped me off to Au Cœur de Paris in Westminster, which is owned by a Frenchman. Located in a unlikely concrete office space on the outskirts of Little Saigon, Dave lavished praise on its macarons last week–and for good reason.
Me? I think its pâté chaud, the Vietnamese savory puff pastry filled with a small meatball, is the best I've had anywhere. More on pâté chaud in another post. Today, we're talking almond croissants, and Au Cœur de Paris is neck and neck with Layer Cake Bakery for the best in Orange County.
On my last visit this Monday, the skies were gray and the air a touch humid from the recent showers. The almond croissants looked a little bummed out about the weather because they weren't their usual perked-up and perfect puffs. I suppose any baker can have an off-day when the weather conspires against them, but the pastry was delicious as always, just not as pretty as they normally are. You have bad Mondays–so can baked goods, okay?
The almond filling at Au Coeur is ground fine, making the filling smooth-grained and more refined in appearance for lack of pieces of brown skin. The pastry cream flavor is discernible, but there's not as much in there as Layer Cake's. I'm a sucker for that rich vanilla
custard in any pastry. Both of these bakeries make an exemplary almond croissant that I'd put up against any bakery in Southern California. For this battle, that little bit more generous portion of pastry cream and the ever-so-consistent quality wins it for Layer Cake Bakery.
Layer Cake Bakery, 4250 Barranca Pkwy., Ste. I, Irvine, (949) 786-0223.

PUTRAJAYA: Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) strives to continue to elevate the experience of guests at Malaysian hotels when it signed a service agreement with Everly Group yesterday for the provision of its Hospitality Entertainment Solution.
Under this agreement, all hotels under Everly Group will be able to enjoy TM'S latest ICT and entertainment package comprising In-Building Broadband Solution (IBS), TM's high-speed broadband (HSBB) network connectivity.
With this collaboration, Everly Group becomes the first hotel chain to subscribe to TM's Hospitality Entertainment Solution for all of its eight hotels.
The eight hotels that will be provided with the Hospitality Entertainment Solution are The Everly Hotel Putrajaya, Parkcity Everly Hotel Bintulu, Sarawak, Parkcity Everly Hotel Miri, Everly Resort Hotel, Melaka, Prescott Hotel Medan Tuanku Kuala Lumpur, Prescott Hotel Sentral Kuala Lumpur, Prescott Hotel Kajang Selangor and Prescott Hotel Klang Selangor.
The solution is exclusively targeted at hospitality players, hotel businesses, retreat owners, resort owners/operators, hospitals, apartments, condominiums and any high tenancy building that requires wired/wireless internet access and uninterrupted TV viewing.
TM executive vice president (SME) Azizi A Hadi and TM SME Sales vice president Khadhir Elias signed the service agreement on behalf of TM while the Everly Group was represented by group managing director Dennis Tan and Parkcity Everly Hotel Miri manager Mok Pin Chuan.
Commenting on the new partnership, Azizi said the agreement indicated significant change for Malaysian SMEs involved in the hospitality industry.
"This comprehensive solution is specially developed to elevate the hotel guests' experience and also to ease hoteliers' technical management concerns as the solution provides high speed broadband internet access via TM's Unify connectivity, world class entertainment via HyppTV, as well as a 24/7 call centre and customer support.
"The designated call centre will be managing any issues from the hotel management and the end users on Wi-Fi access and HyppTV channels. In short, the hotel focuses on what they do best – providing convenience and hospitality to their patrons and let us do the rest," he said.
He added that this was in line with their 'Business Made Easier' aspiration to become the preferred communication and complete solution partner to SMEs in the nation.

Booths, the family-owned supermarket chain with a store at Clitheroe, has revealed bumper figures for the pre-Christmas period.
With a total sales increase of 6.06% in like-for-like sales by December 23rd, the food and drink retailers recorded its best ever sales figures in its 166-year history.
Chairman Edwin Booth said: "We have a canny Northern consumer base and they keep us on our toes in terms of service, price and quality.
"They expect the best from Booths, and this Christmas we delivered just that."
Booths launched its Christmas marketing campaign early with an 180-page Christmas book, which inspired customers to plan ahead and order early. Orders in advance of Christmas were up by 22%.
Customers who had the Booths Card, launched in late summer, accounted for 60% of pre-orders.
Christmas tipplers pushed up real ale sales by 27% and gin by 20%, reflecting the year's boom in craft breweries and boutique gin distilleries.
More people were buying alternative Christmas dinners like venison, Herdwick mutton and three-bird roasts.
Mr Booth added: "We've been mindful that budgets have been tight and kept prices affordable without compromising on premium quality."

Hey all,
I'm skiing an '09 Radar Annex with double Strada bindings. I have not made any changes to the ski as of yet. The water is breaking between my feet, rather than up under my front (left) foot where it did on my old ski. Feels like it's popping up quite a bit. Is this a fin adjustment, or should I move the bindings forward (they are set in the middle holes now).
Thanks, in advance.
Hey Hack,
I have the same set up and run my boots one hole back ( bindings more to the back of ski from center hole). I use the Radar standard fin setting. Interestingly this ski run good in my fast hard north water, my sixam had to be fine tune more to ski well. One thing for sure is that this ski likes to be carve with speed not turn and burn. The more fluid and light on the rope i am the better it skis. If you counter rotate and shift your hip this ski rocks ! If you muscle it it is not reponding as well. It is a very good ski and the strada boots are incredible, i love my ski now that i ski it the right way. The stock setting is working fine for me at 34 mph @32 off , cannot comment for shorter lenght. Hope it helps you.
Thanks, Jerry.
So, with the way you have the ski set up, where does the water break under your feet after you cross the wake and are gliding out toward the pre-turn?
Under my front foot. I don't really check that i just go with my feeling on the ski. With my boot there i feel balance and my ski is stable in pre-turn. You have to try to see. What speed are you sking ?

When the libs can't say something nice, they shouldn't say nothing at all! Or maybe they should just keep their mouths shut all-together.
But no, when they're losing every other argument (Supreme Court Justice, Russia, health care…etc.) they revert to their middle school selves and come out swinging at our beloved First Lady, Melania Trump.
Once again, CNN proves that, if it's about Trump, even indirectly, they just shouldn't say nothing at all. I mean, seriously, folks! When I watch this video, I feel like I'm back in my middle school cafeteria, listening to all the "mean girls!"
"It's not a criticism…" says Michelle Kosinski, CNN's Senior Diplomatic Correspondent. "The entire conversation in that room was about Melania Trump's appearance…." "She was obviously reading, with some difficulty, which is not her fault…." Blah, blah, blah. I mean, Regina George lately?
Clearly, Michelle Kosinski is quite enamored with the Queen of Jordan, as she goes on and on about all her accomplishments, saying nothing about Melania's! So, in the spirit of fighting back, let's go over just a few: she speaks 5 languages, she's started 2 businesses and she's been a successful model.

They just overturned her murder conviction.
Don't really know a great deal about the case to say for sure, but regardless of whether she did it or not it didn't seem like a safe conviction to me. She may well have committed the crime, but the evidence wasn't really there from what I know.
Good to see the Knox family not jumping up and down like loons but just shaking hands with muted congratulations.

Good grief, I wasn't expecting that at all. The Italian authorities and media seemed so determined to have her guilty I didn't think she stood a chance.
"Both Knox and Sollecito � who have always denied any involvement in the brutal murder - said they would take the case to the third and final level of appeal at the Supreme Court in Rome where it will probably be heard late next year."
Why did they say this then, lovely and honest people of the Daily Mail? Seem totally legit.
I'm guessing they said that at some point during this appeal, so it isn't technically untrue.
I suppose you're right, they would've appealed it. There are other bits of the article that are less debatable but I can't copy paste anymore as it seem to have been taken down.

In all honesty though, she will be tarred by this for life, a la OJ. Just as well she's got a great PR team working for her already I guess.

It's interesting to consider the role of the media in this I think. Apparently there is no contempt of court law and no restriction on reporting. Despite that, the court decided against what the public opinion seemed to be. I don't know if I have a point here, but I think it's kind of interesting.

Here's some good ones:
Following the verdict Knox and Sollecito were taken out of court escorted by prison guards and into a waiting van which took her back to her cell at Capanne jail near Perugia and him to Terni jail, 60 miles away. Both will be put on a suicide watch for the next few days as psychological assessments are made on each of them but this is usual practice for long term prisoners.
Prosecutors were delighted with the verdict and said that 'justice has been done' although they said on a 'human factor it was sad two young people would be spending years in jail'.
The next step is that the prosecution can appeal this verdict at the Italian Supreme Court if they wish. However, no-one has ever been extradicted from the US to Italy ever though, apparently.
I've always thought that the idea that 4 students would get so involved in some sort of 'sex game' that three of them hold down their friend and slit her throat because she wasn't into it a little hard to believe to be honest. But, who knows?

Indeed, you can't beat quality journalism!
I hope someone got a screen cap of that.

So basically the Daily Fail had an article all typed up; in their infinite wisdom they assumed the convictions would stand.
To go ahead and publish that is beyond belief. They're an absolute juke and I mean that - this is glol territory.

Eastleigh voters react to Chris Huhne resignation
Former cabinet minister Chris Huhne is to resign his Eastleigh seat after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice over claims his ex-wife Vicky Pryce took speeding points for him a decade ago.
Mr Huhne was first elected as MP for the Hampshire town in a close-fought battle with the Conservatives in 2005 having previously served as an MEP for six years.
He retained his seat in the 2010 General Election with almost 50% of the vote and a majority approaching 4,000.
BBC News went to his constituency to ask people what they thought about his decision to step down.
Eastleigh voter Pearl Blake, 72
"He has spoiled things for the people who voted for him.
"I am not a Lib Dem and I would never have voted for him.
"This has been going on a long time.
"I am very pleased that he has chosen to resign."
Dereck Spencer, 73, from Chandler's Ford near Eastleigh
"I think this does change my chances of voting for the Lib Dems.
"But it might not change other people's minds.
"You can't have much trust or faith now.
"You get this all through Parliament and you don't know who you can trust."
Terence Kingsbury, 72, from Eastleigh
"He obviously shouldn't have broken the law.
"[But] we like the man.
"The Lib Dems always seem to be the ones that do more locally for you and they listen to you.
"I have met Chris Huhne when he came to our door and he was very charming."
Carol Hoare, 59, from Eastleigh
"I don't know what to say really.
"I don't usually worry about what they [politicians] do and I'm not against him.
"I voted for him last time and I would vote for him again.
"He has done a lot of good for the community here so I won't knock him."

Allright, after aquiring this gem (FINALLY) during this weeks farm, I took it for a spin on Thok heroic. The results I got was somewhat insane, and I was wondering if I have completly misunderstood the trinket. Here's the log of Thok from me for this week:
and from last week:
Now, the thing that has me surprised, is the amount of power my Divine Aegis seem to have gotten. From 125K average last week, till 147K average this week per hit.
The main differences in the two logs are these:
-Last week had a slightly lower uptime on ToF, with a slightly higher uptime on my trinket int-proc (Cha Ye's 530 - named mastermind). These two should offset each other, pretty much, making the difference minimal.
-Last week we had 8 healers, this week we had 7. The healer in question is a resto shaman. I can't see a reason that he would ever be able to affect the power of my absorbs, so this shouldn't be it (although it obviously explains some of my extra HPS).
Now, how I figured the trinket would work was this -
trinket amplifies my initial crit heal with 9% (EG, 100K becomes 109K).
The crit heal then becomes an absorb, and multiplied by mastery (let's say 50% absorb mastery) - so 109K*1.5=163.5K absorb.
This would lead to an increase of 9% in my divine aegis power (from 150K to 163.5K).
However, what I'm seeing in the log is closer to 18% (16%, to be exact) - what you would expect if the trinket double dipped like this:
100K initial crit.
9% amp = 109K crit.
9% amp = 118.8K absorb.
50% mastery = 178K absorb.
So have I completly misunderstood how the trinket works initially? Does it actually count both the initial critical heal, AND the following absorb as a critical hit, thus proc'ing the +heal amplification twice?
Mind that now that I've seen the logs, this is how I think it works - and it'd make sense, too, considering the fact that our critical heals are half as strong as any other healers in part DUE to the absorbs. It just kind of came as a surprise, and I'd like confirmation.
And if the above is true, does it then "tripple"-dip from DPS? EG:
100K initial crit.
9% amp = 109K crit.
90% atonement heal = 98.1K
9% heal amp = 107K.
9% absorb amp = 116.5K.
Instead of just ending at 107K?
Much appreciated :d!

I think you look lovely with longer and short hair, but I dont like an upstlyle with the lenght it is. So I say cut it or wear it as you are in the black dress. To be honest I dont think it will matter to Ralph as he is so fond of you anything but a paper bag would please him, he is a sweetie.
Just think of all the veiwers who would like to swap places with you.
I have more great news for your! You know Ralph Rossini of Honora Pearls, the ever youthful, tanned and terribly charming guest from New York? He's taking part in our New York shopping spree this week, and will be here with the perfect solution to Christmas present problems for the girls… "when in doubt, buy pearls!!" And not just any pearls either!
Tomorrow's TSV is two sets of five bracelets in a winning combination of celebrated and charismatic colours – four you've never seen before, made from 7-8mm ring pearls. My favourite! And these pearls are taken from the top 3% of all cultured pearls at a price to make you smile. As I know Ralph will… so make sure you join us at midnight on Thursday. And I promise to find out how his lunch date went – be rude not to really 🙂
I'm buying both sets – 'cos if you buy more you save more – so all I've got to decide on now is whether to wear my hair up or down!! Or perhaps I should have it cut short again like I did when I was 8..! (that's me in the middle on Christmas morning).
What do you reckon?
Love Ali xx

Hi Ali, I prefer your hair down as in your middle picture as it makes you look younger but it all depends what sort of dress you will be wearing on the programme. The black dress shown here really complements your colouring. I'm afraid I am a little biased as both my daughters have long strawberry blonde coloured hair which they wear down. Looking forward to seeing what you decide.
Kind regards
December 3, 2009 at 1:50 am -
Hi Ali, I loved your hair when it was short, but now that you've grown it I think it looks wonderful, so I say leave it long and luscious!
Ali xx
December 3, 2009 at 6:34 am -
Hi Ali, i have to say your hair in the middle photo looks gorgeous!It's lovely and full bodied,looks v.glamourous.
Hope all is well with Sam and so glad the lavender helped you sleep.Merry Christmas to you and your family x
December 3, 2009 at 7:44 am -
Love your hair down it always looks so glam just perfect for glamorous pearls.
December 3, 2009 at 8:29 am -
Hi Ali
I think you should have it cut short. You have a sweet little face and short hair will really show it off. Go on, go for it!
December 3, 2009 at 8:55 am -
Wear it up Ali, but keep it long! Lynne, Cardiff
December 3, 2009 at 9:16 am -
Hi Ali. Personally I prefer hair down as opposed to up as I think it looks more feminine. You have lovely wavy hair which looks good either way but I would definitely say "down". Ralph's pearls would look good on you either way though as they are so beautiful.
Can't wait to see what he is bringing us tonight now !
Take care
December 3, 2009 at 9:21 am -
Alison , however you wear your hair looks superb but I think I preferred it when it was shorter so maybe you could wear it up which would give that shorter look. I am sitting here watching QVC on the telly but writing this on my little Toshiba notebook wearing my Carole Hochman dressing gown and round my neck I have the grey Honora pearls—so you can see I am a huge QVC shopper. Oh just forgot on my left hand is the Anne Klein diamond watch
December 3, 2009 at 9:23 am -
Definitely down – shows off your neck & face better AND it makes you look younger…….if up – you look more like a school Ma'am!!
December 3, 2009 at 9:31 am -
Well Ali, as usual both styles look beautiful, but for the suave sophisticated Mr Rossini wear it up my dear! It will look f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s and will show case the pearls really well.
Seasons Greetings to you and Ralph
ps don't have your hair cut short yet!
December 3, 2009 at 9:41 am -
Hi Alison as much as I love your longer hair now as you really suit having a bit of length in your hair I do love it when you wear it up and I think for your TSV with Ralph you should wear it up and just think how much more it will show off any earrings you will have to wear on the night also:) hope this helps you to decide? lot's of love Rhona xx
December 3, 2009 at 9:57 am -
Hi Alison,
You will look gorgeous whether you wear your hair up or down. But cut it short….Nooooooo!!! I'm sure you will show off the pearls fantastically.
take care & have a great christmas
David xx
December 3, 2009 at 10:36 am -
Hi Ali
I think now you hair is longer it looks lovely, so I say wear it down. If you have it cut short now you may regret it later (I speak from experience!!) Wear it down and you will look great as always.
December 3, 2009 at 10:48 am -
Hi Alison
Why not sweep the top layers up and leave some tendrils at the back and sides, to show off the beautiful earrings which Ralph will no doubt be bringing. However you choose to style it, I am sure you will look great. Looking forward to the Honora shows. I wonder if you know whether a particular bracelet I saw some time ago is coming back into stock. It is white and looks like several rows of pearls combined into a 3D effect stretch bracelet. Stunning, and I was so disappointed to miss out on it when it aired previously. Wishing you and yours all the best.
December 3, 2009 at 10:51 am -
Hi Ali
I think wearing your hair down (middle photo) will show off Ralph's pearls perfectly. You always look elegant, with a figure to die for, but please don't cut your hair Ali, you look lovely as you are.
Happy Christmas to you and your family.
Love, Carol
December 3, 2009 at 12:11 pm -
Have yourself A Merry Little Christmas Ali.
Hair UP hair DOWN both look good, for really showing
pearls.. best up with a few femmine tendrils falling down !
December 3, 2009 at 12:20 pm -
Hi Ali, What a lot of comments have been posted (just to confuse you a little more).Your hair at the moment is lovely. However, I have to admit I loved your short style, really suited your face shape.You always look so elegant. Lucky you wearing all those gorgeous pearls from Ralph. Have a lovely Christmas with your Family.
December 3, 2009 at 12:42 pm -
Why do presenters have such long fringes? Most have lovely eyes and a shorter fringe would show them off more…. and look more elegant. I like your hair down with a bit of curl!
December 3, 2009 at 4:05 pm -
Up, up, up. I saw your hair this way recently and thought how lovely you looked. On balance I think I prefer it short so maybe that's why I think up, it shows off your lovely face shape.
December 3, 2009 at 6:29 pm -
hi alison
i like the middle photo with hair down it really suits you, with a little black dress you will look million dollers have good night.
love dorothy xx
December 3, 2009 at 8:26 pm -
Keep it longer. It's much more flattering. The short style is too severe and makes you look older.
~How about some plum slices? To compliment your warm sparkling personality.
Lucky you, working with that gorgeous Ralph!
December 3, 2009 at 10:09 pm -
Hi Alison
We all loved you with your hair shorter – much classier looking for a very classy lady!
December 3, 2009 at 10:09 pm -
Hi Ali
You are a beautiful woman and you always look so fab. I feel that women of our special years flatter short hair however you are very elegant and will look wonderful what ever you choose and wearing lovely Honora pearls will just put the finishing touch to your look, enjoy.
December 4, 2009 at 10:38 am -
Alison please do not cut your hair as you really suit it with some longer length in it and my Alison would say the same and after all she's a senior hair stylist so listen to your namesake:) and keep the colour it's beautiful and really suits you just thought I would add that in have a lovely weekend, oh and please watch out for mail at QVC I have sent you something lot's of love Rhona xx
December 4, 2009 at 3:22 pm -
Marg, I am so sorry not to have replied before, but I have lost all electronic contact with the world, which has meant I'm having to bring my lap top into work! Cripes i didn't realise how ghastly that photo of me with hair was, but I took your advice and wore it down… and yes I know there are MANY women who would have liked to swap places with me 🙂 Enoy the rest of his shows. Love Ali xx
December 4, 2009 at 3:24 pm -
Hi Joan, thanks for your comments – how I envy your daughters their strawberry blonde hair!! My friend Suzanne's daughter Amy has a similar colour and it's so pretty…. mine is thanks to my colourist! Hope you have a good weekend, and as you may have seen last night, I took your advice and wore my hair down. Love Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:26 pm -
Ali – a woman after my own heart. I too liked my hair short but the general concencus amongst my friends here is that they prefer it long…! It was pretty easy to look after short though but a little chilly around the neck in winter 🙂 thanks for taking the time out. Love Ali xx
December 4, 2009 at 3:28 pm -
Heidi thank you for giving my your answer – just so sorry not to have replied prior to the show, but have lost all internet at home so brought laptop into work!! Yes thanks to my hairdresser and Ojon my hair is in pretty good condition. It does seem to grow a lot faster the older I get though, so needs to be trimmed every 4 to 5 weeks! Thanks for your tips about the lavender and yes Sam is continuing to get better 🙂 Love Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:29 pm -
Hi Diane, your vote along with 10 others meant that I wore my hair down last night, so thank you for joining in. Have a great weekend. Love Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:30 pm -
Christine, how very kind of you 🙂 Simon Biagi is the only other person here who has always said he prefers my hair short… I like to keep my ears hidden though. My dear old Dad used to call me jug handles!! Have a good weekend, and maybe next year for the big birthday I'll reach for the scissors. Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:32 pm -
Lynne, – I think your answer is why I do keep it long. Because then I can have the best of both worlds – wear it up to look shorter and then have it long to keep my neck warm and make me feel feminine. Thank you so much for joining in. Lovely to hear from you Ali xx
December 4, 2009 at 3:33 pm -
Sue – completely in agreement. It wouldn't matter whether you had a wooly hat on, Ralph's pearls would look great. Thanks so much for replying. Have a great weekend. Love alix
December 4, 2009 at 3:35 pm -
Barbara you sound as though you have joined me along with 1000s of others who are addicted to shopping this way! So glad you're happy with the service and the products. Hope you found something you liked in the Honora hours and I promise I will wear my hair up another time. Had to do the honourable thing and wear it down as there were more votes! Have a great weekend, Love Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:36 pm -
Irene, I have to agree with you based on that rather ghastly photograph of myself, that I looked like a school Maam! Old school that is! Wore it down as the vote won, and hope you enjoyed the show and Ralph! Love to you Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:37 pm -
Gill, Sauve sophisticated Mr. Ralph said he didn't care either way, but I promised I'd wear it up next time 🙂 I won't get it cut …..just yet. Love to you ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:38 pm -
Rhona, as you probably guessed was 11 to 8 for me to wear it down, although I was having a bad hair night and had so much spray on that when I hooked it over my ear to show my earrings it kind of stuck there!!! Hope all's well with you, love Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:39 pm -
Hi David, Promise I won't have it cut then. And thank you for the compliments and for taking time out to reply. Love to you, Ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:40 pm -
Mandy, my stylist said exactly the same thing. I may well regret it… do it in stages. The same advice given when I said I wanted to be a red head! Sorry you regretted it. Massaging your scalp makes your hair grow quicker, so our Natalie who modelled last night told me. Have a great weekend, Love ali x
December 4, 2009 at 3:41 pm -
Morag, I promise I will wear it up another time, and have asked Ralph about the 3D effect bracelet. As soon as I have an answer I will post if for you. Must dash, Quacker Factory awaits!! Love to you, Ali x
December 6, 2009 at 1:19 pm -

December 7, 2009 at 7:45 pm -
Carol, thank you for your huge compliment! It's all thanks to clever camera work and slim n' lift! I will take heed though and leave my hair at its current length as it allows me to wear it up or down! Variety is the spice of life after all. I'm sure you look lovely too, and thank you so much for taking time out to write. Love Ali xx
December 7, 2009 at 7:47 pm -
Mary, it's the tendrils I have trouble with!!! I tried borrowing Kathy's hot curling thing, but I didn't do very well with it 🙂 Still, it's nice to have the choice, so I'll leave it long, but make sure I wear it up regularly too. Merry Christmas Mary, and thanks for writing. Love ali x
December 7, 2009 at 7:49 pm -
Anne, thank you so much for using the word 'elegant' 🙂 My nana always said to me if I kept my hair short I would be more elegant as I got older….Her hair was always short and she had great elegance and deportment! I too am quite happy with the length it is at the moment so must make a note to self to keep it trimmed! Do hope all's well with you, love ali x
December 7, 2009 at 7:52 pm -
Hi Lucy, Your comments are regularly echoed by our senior director Paul, who is ALWAYS asking me to move my fringe out of my eyes. I do try and glue it in place with hairspray, but once I start to fiddle with it, it flops! I did wear my hair down as you suggested and have now trimmed my fringe so hope that pleases 🙂 Love Alix
December 7, 2009 at 7:54 pm -
Bless you Judy, so sorry that more people preferred it down, but I will wear it up again soon, as I rather like it too, particularly when I'm presenting jewellery shows. I remember the last time I worked with Ralph when I'd just got back from ibiza and was really brown I wore it up and he said he liked it! Hope you enjoyed the hours with him. Love Ali x
December 7, 2009 at 7:56 pm -
Hi Dorothy, thank you for replying. My little black dress was at the dry cleaners but i hope you liked the sequinned number 🙂 And yes, I did enjoy the night. Ralph is always good to work with. Take care, Love Ali x
December 7, 2009 at 7:58 pm -
Susan, I agree wholeheartedly. Especially when I looked at the photo I'd sent through with my hair up, this time with my glasses on!!! Not a pretty sight. Plum slices sound wicked! I made a damson tansy once….. Ralph was lovely – never a dull moment with him! Hope all well with you. Love ali x
December 7, 2009 at 8:00 pm -
Thank you LA. Have been pursuaded into keeping it long BUT I will wear it up which gives the appearance of short and allows you all to see my very large ears!!!! (Dad used to call me jug handles :)… Classy is something though I'm delighted to own….Thank you love ali xx
December 7, 2009 at 8:03 pm -
Lin I'm still blushing 🙂 Thank you, and as I've already written to be described as elegant is very flattering. I agree with you about the older you get possibly the shorter the hair – which is why at 40 I had it cut! However, I think now a little longer suits me better – and was really delighted to get so many beautiful pearls to wear – especially the earrings which were lovely. Thank you again for taking time and apologies for the delay in replying but we lost internet connection in the village last week and they've only just repaired it! Love Ali x
December 7, 2009 at 8:06 pm -
Rhona, I will take your Alison's advice – along with many others not even in the profession – and keep it as it is! I too am pleased with the colour though, although I was mortified to find three more grey hairs yesterday! I'm in on Wednesday for the launch and will of course check the post. I do hope you will have given me your address so I can send you a card back!! Love Ali x
December 22, 2009 at 9:55 am -
Heather, I think I missed replying to you last week, so thank you for commenting, and I wish you a very happy Christmas too. Love Ali x 🙂

Knesset Law Committee okays controversial NGO funding bill
By DAN IZENBERG
Chairman considers extending transparency requirement to donations by foreigners, and not just foreign state-funded groups.
After an emotional two-hour debate, the Knesset Law Committee on Monday approved a bill for first reading in the plenum calling for greater transparency on donations by foreign states and foreign state-funded institutions to Israeli NGOs.
The bill, which was initiated by a group of right-wing MKs headed by Ze'ev Elkin (Likud), was primarily aimed at human rights and political organizations such as Peace Now, which critics accuse of supporting the Palestinian cause and being anti-Israel.
Committee members including Elkin, Uri Orbach (Habayit Hayehudi) and Avraham Michaeli (Shas) said the bill would increase transparency by compelling NGOs to report all funding received from foreign state entities once every three months. Only Orbach admitted that the bill had been motivated by political considerations.
Critics of the bill, including Dov Henin and Hanna Sweid, both of Hadash, Haim Oron (Meretz) and Yohanan Plesner (Kadima) said the bill was selective and demanded that it be applied to all groups receiving foreign funding, regardless of whether it came from foreign state entities or private individuals, including Jewish donors.
Plesner said the amount of money given by European states does not compare with the funds contributed by Evangelical organizations, which are motivated by the theological vision of a cataclysmic war that would lead to the second coming of the messiah.
"There is money coming to Israel from hallucinatory organizations," he said.
Oron, who for several years tried to find out who had financially supported the projects of Jewish settlement organizations in Jerusalem, including Ateret Cohanim and Elad, said he could not do so because the money had been given by individuals whose names could not be divulged. "With this private money, the world is being changed," he said
During the hearing, committee chairman David Rotem (Israel Beiteinu) appeared to drop a bombshell when he announced that he would change the bill's wording in preparation for its second and third (final) readings so as to include all donations, whether from private individuals or foreign state entities, above a given sum.
"The bill will not pass a second and third reading unless it applies to all contributions," Rotem said at one point in the debate, repeating the statement toward the end.
However, in a statement issued by his spokesman later in the day, Rotem said he would "consider" adding transparency regarding funding from private citizens to the bill.
In the same statement, he pointed out that some, including Bar-Ilan University law professor Yaffa Zilbershatz, had warned that nonpolitical organizations such as universities received donations from individuals who insisted on anonymity. If the bill is extended to include private foreign donors, she said, these contributions could be jeopardized.
The Jerusalem Post
asked Rotem's spokesman, Yair Paz, whether comments made by the chairman during the debate and in his statement afterward indicated that he had changed his mind about amending the legislation to cover private funding. Paz said it should be remembered that Rotem had made the promise to do so in the heat of dialogue with Henin and other critics of the current draft.
The bill will be presented to the plenum after the summer recess ends in October. It is almost certain to pass and be sent back to the law committee to prepare it for a final reading. At that point, Rotem will have to decide where he stands on the opposition's demand to increase transparency to private as well as foreign state donors.

I always thought Belgium was something like a part of French Influence, so there was spoken the French, but now that i know a bit more i realize that is not this way. Well, thats the question: is it more spoken the French or the Netherlanden? Now that you are the capital of the EU, there must be some more languages, huh?

Mind Virus
From Wiki
Russell Wright of Theme Zoom LLC uses the concept of a Mind Virus in the context of Neuromarketing and Viral Marketing.
Although there are many schools of thought on how a Mind Virus works, the essential and contemporary teachings of the relatively new field of memetics include the work of Richard Dawkins, Dan Dennett, Susan Blackmore, and Richard Brodie.
Our minds excel both at copying information and at following instructions. Remember the four characteristics of a Virus: penetration, copying, possibly issuing instructions, and spreading.
As horrifying as the thought may be initially, our minds are ideally susceptible to infection by mind viruses.
They can penetrate our minds because we are so adept at learning new ideas and information.
They are copied by us communicating with each other, something at which we are getting better and better as a species.
Mind viruses issue instructions by programming us with new memes that affect our behavior.
They spread when the chain of events stemming from that new behavior reaches an uninfected mind.
Examples of neuromarketing and general viruses if the mind range from fashion fads to religious cults. They can be any bit of culture whos existence touches people, causing them to shift their thinking and thus their behavior, eventually causing reinforcement or proliferation of that same bit of culture.
Spontaneous versus Created Human Mind Viruses:
There is a distinction between mind viruses that arose spontaneously and ones that were invented by human consciousness.
I'll call the naturally arising ones cultural viruses and the human-crafted ones designer mind viruses.
A Designer Mind Virus is carefully crafted to infect people with a set of memes that influence them to spread throughout the population.
Designer viruses and cultural viruses can be equally damaging to your pursuit of happiness, although for many people it doesn't feel as bad to have your life ruined by a natural set of circumstances as it does to have some manipulative no-goodnik get the best of you. But despite the difference in perception, the effect of these two kinds of mind viruses is the same: you unwittingly have a portion of yourself diverted from what you might otherwise be doing with your life. Instead you become devoted to doing the work of the mind virus.

whoa... needs fewer symbols... will just end up looking like white noise except in middle.
whoa... needs fewer symbols... will just end up looking like white noise except in middle.
Definitely buy this
not quite sure whats going on there
wow this must be a printer's worst nightmare
Genius? Only three religious symbols is genius? There's more to holiness than three different versions of the same magical skydaddy myth.
is it only christianity, islam and judism? surely you can find symbols for other relgions, only 3 seems super repedative
I chose the 3 most known religions to voluntarily prevent that that is not confused.
ya i think it needs more symbols, maybe hide em in some grass, so as to not look so crowed? tho i like how this shirt portrays the fact that religion is everywhere. And that there is more then just one (or three) options
interesting use of......paste.
I agree with the others, It needs more symbols. Theres alot more than Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
I do like the concept. I am a huge fan of studying world religions, although as Hazelip said it needs more than 3 symbols and a little less of them. Other than that its a great idea. $4.

Iuliano unhappy at Mallorca
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Mark Iuliano has expressed his frustration at his situation at Real Mallorca.Mark Iuliano has expressed his frustration at his situation at Real Mallorca.
The Italian international has been frozen out of things this season by Mallorca coach Hector Cuper.
The former Juventus ace is unhappy with his lack of action and cannot understand why he has been overlooked.
"I didn't come from Juventus only to be a tourist," Iuliano told the Spanish press. "I've already had my holidays in July.
" Last season in the dramatic final race that we saved ourselves from the relegation I have been a protagonist.
"I don't understand now this ostracism."

There isn't a lot of talk involved in the Philadelphia-brand of badass – you maybe have some words, and the disagreement concludes with either you snuffing out the other guy or he snuffs out you. However, there is apparently tons of talk when it comes to the Irish, and while the end result of violence, violence and violence may be the same, in between is a ton of insults and gamesmanship.
Such was the case with the UFC 205 press conference yesterday at Madison Square Garden, which featured a whole bunch of really good UFC fighters playing second fiddle to the spectacle that is Conor McGregor.
Oh my God it was awesome!
The obvious highlight was Jeremy Stephens taking a turn at the mic to say he's the hardest hitter in the featherweight division and he could beat McGregor, and McGregor asking the audience, "Who the f*ck is that guy?"
The featherweight champ and the lightweight champ had some decent back and forth, but being a Philly guy, it was clear Eddie Alvarez is nowhere near the expert talker McGregor (or Nate Diaz) is.
Watch the highlights below.

Games Literacy
Today's students have never seen a world without video games. They're an integral part of life now, becoming a new cultural artifact, a new entertainment medium, and bringing with them a whole slew of new employment opportunities.
But how do they work? And what are the parameters for having a meaningful dialog about them with our students?
In this session, Paul Callaghan, a veteran game developer, will explore the elements that contribute to games literacy and how that can be applied to traditional literacy and numeracy skills.
What does a writer do anyway?
Telling stories is an essential part of our cultural fabric, but in the face of a new medium, one in which mechanics, rules, and play are at the heart of the audience experience, we're still learning how to work the thousands of years of accumulated knowledge in writing and storytelling to our best advantage.
An often-neglected discipline in video games, this session will look at the skills and craft that writers use when approaching storytelling, dialogue, structure, and characterisation, and how to apply those to video games without losing the particular strengths of the medium. By dissecting the craft of writing, it will demonstrate the thought processes behind story creation, what does and doesn't work within the medium of games, and why some of those boundaries exist. It will also show how some of those core concepts are applicable to games without stories, informing mechanic, level, and systems design.
Looking to the future, the session will lastly speculate on the marriage of traditional narrative and mechanics, and the sorts of stories that can only be told in the medium of games by exploiting the fundamental gameplay forces of agency, choice, rules, and goals.

Reviews forContest-Winning Caramel Apple Crisp
My Review
Average Rating
"My family loves this, brought it to the office and they can't stop eating it. I did add just a little more apple cider to recipe. Can't wait to make it again, I'm going to try dipping carmel next, Carmel pieces took to long to unwrap."
"More like an apple oatmeal. I used caramel sheets broken up, leftover from a caramel apple kit. Flavor was good, but yes dry & sweet. If I tried this again I would use less dry ingredients and add caramel sauce when it was finished baking."
"I used Marzetti old fashioned caramel dip, so it didn't get hard. I also doubled the ACV per others advise. I think it would be much better with less oatmeal."
"Fantastic!! Even those in the family who don't like crisp won't stop eating it!"
"It needed an extra 1/2 cup of cider to keep it from being dry. I also added 1 can (14 oz) of fried apples to the mixture. (you could also add apple pie filling here also if you can't find fried apples) I believe that also added to the moisture of the crisp."
"Here, we like our pies and crisps to be jucy. Not dry. If I had looked this over I would have seen it was going to come out dry. Maybe in another area this won a prize, but not with my husband."
"I am sorry but I can not see how this recipe won any prize. I threw the entire crisp out. The apples were dry in fact the entire crisp was so dry that even ice cream and extra caramel drizzle did not help."
"I made this recipe for a work function. Everyone who tried it loved it. I got numerous compliments. It was easy to make, and quite tasty. The most difficult part was unwrapping the caramels. I added additional caramels on top, in the future may drizzle with carmel ice cream sauce."
"Oooey Gooey goodness! YUM! I used Macintosh apples and they cooked perfectly!"

I am a descendant of Ephraim Jaycocks and Mary Hurlburt.I'm in the process of trying to prove that Abraham is Ephraim's father.They all lived very close to one another in Delaware County, Ohio in the 1850's.While updating the 1830 Census for the Franklin County Gen.

Franklin County Ohio is not that far from the Delaware County line.What more can you tell me about Abraham and Elizabeth.Debra

Dear Serial Podcast producers:
In 1993 I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Notre Dame in just three and a half years, and was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
In 1998 I had a near death experience in the back of an ambulance due to semi-intentionally caused acute carbon monoxide poisoning. I drew this picture during my first ever stay in a mental hospital.
In 2002, less than a year after I learned that my birth name literally translates to "candid catnip soldier" and within several weeks of watching the movie The Bourne Identity, I trespassed at CIA headquarters with a large framed poster of Albert Einstein with his tongue sticking out, while in possession of marijuana. After being questioned for a few hours, I was cited for two misdemeanors and released.
The next day I told my father a story about what had happened.
Subsequently my father told a story based on the story I told him to my mother and my older brother.
Twelve days later my mother and brother told a story to Dr. Michael Marcus, a psychiatrist, based on the story they had heard from my father.
Without asking me a single question about the story Dr. Marcus had been told by my mother and brother, he committed me to a for-profit mental hospital for emergency involuntary medical care.
Hours later, Dr. Caroline Ekong reportedly read the civil commitment document filled out by Dr. Marcus about why I needed emergency medical care. Without ever seeing or speaking with me, Dr. Ekong directed staff at the mental hospital to treat me with an oral antipsychotic.
I respectfully refused to swallow the medication, and requested to speak with Dr. Ekong before she began providing me with medical care.
Staff at the mental hospital informed me that Dr. Ekong was not at the hospital, and was not willing to speak with me by telephone. I was told that if I continued to refuse medical care, that I would be injected with a different antipsychotic medication.
The hospital staff did not inform me of the potential "side-effects" of the two antipsychotics which include a non-zero chance of causing death due to Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome.
I refused to swallow the oral antipsychotic, but I did not resist the hospital staff when they injected me with Haldol.
Subsequently, I agreed to take the oral antipsychotic medication due to the horrible state of consciousness induced by the Haldol.
Dr. Ekong restored my inalienable rights of liberty and the pursuit of happiness on the same day that my "civil commitment" for involuntary medical care was subject to review by a judge in a court of law.
Four years later, in October of 2006 I made another unauthorized visit to CIA headquarters in order to illustrate ways to improve this country's mental health care system, and was cited for trespassing again. Judge T. Rawles Jones of the Eastern District Court of Virginia presided over the ensuing 18 minute trial where I defended myself, and was found not guilty.
Nine years later in late 2015, I watched Sam Harris's 2012 talk at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas about the illusory nature of free will.
In May of 2016, while working on a memoir manuscript about how the events described above led me to view the life of free will skeptic, Albert Einstein, as "the brand new greatest story ever told," I learned that Christopher Frick, a 21 year old man whom Dr. Ekong had civilly committed in 2013, stabbed her to death in October of 2015.
A couple days later I posted this on Instagram:
"Imagine if judges in our legal system could imprison suspects and order them to be injected with potentially life-threatening substances without meeting or speaking with them. Imagine if imprisoned criminal suspects and criminals were financially responsible for paying fees for being in prison, including one to the judge who jailed them. These ideas are just as absurd as a reality in the mental health care system as they would be if they were part of our legal system.
I don't seek attention for my anecdotal experience with mental health care mistreatment for the purpose of retributive justice or sympathy, and unlike some survivors of less than optimal behavioral health care, I do not want to burn the existing system to the ground. Rather, my motivation for sharing this story publicly is to increase awareness about human rights violations occurring within our mental health care system in order to inspire social change and systemic reform. Caroline Ekong and Christopher Frick are victims of the same thing: a broken, but fixable behavioral healthcare system."
In October of 2016, after securing an appointment with Vice President Biden and/or his policy staff at the White House to introduce him/them to the executive leadership of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, I submitted this story to the creators of Serial.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Innovation in a Sustainable Product: Lucid Energy
When Lucid Energy Inc. established its headquarters in Portland in the fall of 2011, the company only had one pilot program up and running. One year later, the renewable energy company has started spreading its green energy solution nationwide.
The company, originally formed in 2007 as Lucid Energy Technologies in Indiana, develops the LucidPipe Power System, an in-pipe hydropower system that harnesses energy from water flow with a vertical-axis turbine specifically designed for use in large water transmission pipelines, such as in municipal water systems and irrigation systems.
"There is a very large global market for Lucid Energy's product," said Lucid Energy CEO Gregg Semler. "However, today we are focused in North America where we are launching our product in leading cities and building distribution channels in markets where both water needs and energy costs are high, such as California, Texas and New York, and in metro areas like Portland where renewable energy is high priority."
Lucid Energy sees plenty of opportunity for future growth in the U.S. An estimated $650 billion in water infrastructure upgrades will be needed to replace aging pipelines throughout the U.S. over the next 20 year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency
In August, Lucid Energy signed a deal with the San Antonio Water System in Texas to install a three turbine in-pipe hydropower system, a 60-kilowatt project which is expected to begin in early 2013.
|• Meet the 2012 SBO Awards winners >>
The company also has a memorandum of understanding with the city of Portland and a one-turbine system up and running in Riverside, Calif. Lucid Energy is also working with its partner, Northwest Pipe Company, to identify new or rehab pipe projects to install the LucidPipe system.
Lucid Energy is also partnering with renewable energy developers and service companies, such as CH2M Hill, Siemens and Johnson Controls, to include small hydroelectric energy projects into the products sold to cities and industrial companies.
Although the company is mainly focusing on the North American market for now, it is working to identify key international markets to deploy the LucidPipe system, including countries such as Brazil, China, Canada, Mexico, and Australia, among others.
The company is working with global energy and water companies global, such as Mekerot, Israel's national water company.
Because Lucid Energy's systems are implemented inside new or existing pipeline infrastructure, it creates a cleaner and even more efficient form of renewable energy than other hydropower technologies.
"Unlike conventional hydropower technologies — which extract nearly all pressure from the flow in order to maximize energy production — the LucidPipe turbine extracts only a portion of the pressure in the pipeline so as to minimize the impact to water delivery and even improve pipeline efficiency in some cases," said Josh Thomas, engineering program manager for Lucid Energy.
Gravity-fed pipelines work as both an energy source and are a convenient and efficient way to transport water; however, gravity-fed pipelines must withstand a high level of pressure associated with transporting water that can drop hundreds of feet in elevation before delivery. EPA estimates that 20 to 30 percent of water in such pipelines in the U.S. is lost due to leakage and evaporation in pipes.
"The challenges associated with high operating pressures has given rise to an entire industry that designs gates and valves for the express purpose of reducing this pressure and controlling flow," said Thomas. "The LucidPipe turbines may be placed upstream from these valves in order to extract pressure, which reduces wear on valves."
A reduction in the wear on valves not only increases efficiency and extends the life of the pipeline and valves, it helps reduce the amount of water lost during transportation.
Lucid Energy's systems are comparable in price to other renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar, but unlike traditional renewable energy sources, the LucidPipe utilizes a source that has a predictable and constant flow, allowing it to produce more energy without creating an environmental impact.
"Simply put, we help large users and distributors of water to recapture energy from a resource they already have at their disposal: large amounts of water flowing through pipes 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," said Semler. "So that's really exciting to me."

Micropol & Ecohazard 2013
City of Zurich, Switzerland
The IWA Specialist Group on Assessment and Control of Micropollutants and Hazardous Substances invites you to join us for the Micropol & Ecohazard, to be held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in the heart of the city of Zurich in June 2013. The conference is organized jointly with Eawag and with the Swiss water and wastewater professional associations (SVGW and VSA).
By gathering leading experts and practitioners in the field of wastewater, drinking water and reuse this conference will be a very enriching experience, with fruitful exchanges between engineers, environmental chemists and eco-toxicologists. Facing today's increasing number of chemicals released during production and transport or after its use directly or indirectly into the urban water cycle and the environment, the Micropol & Ecohazard conference presents an excellent opportunity for networking and to share the latest scientific development and expertise with researchers, engineers, operators and managers from all over the world. One highlight of the conference will be the presentation of the Swiss strategy to reduce the load of micropollutants discharged to the aquatic environment.
The attractive city
of Zurich with its wonderful lake and the beautiful Alps, only a few hours
away, will give you a good opportunity to relax for some days before or after
the conference. I encourage your participation and look forward to welcoming
you to Zurich. Together we will make this conference a success.
|Hansruedi Siegrist, Conference President

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"This is My Book"
This is my book but below are some review extracts of the eBook version of The Zochtil
Review Extracts:
"Packed with action and plenty of sci-fi elements, J.A. Dalley creates a universe that draws you in and makes you feel as if you are right there with the characters."
"I found 'The Zochtil' to be very entertaining. The characters are engaging and interesting. The story is a fast-paced, action-packed experience."
"I never read books but I was able to get into this one and really enjoy it cant wait for the next book to come out."
"From start to finish Dalley keeps you pulled into the story."
"The Audible "Zochtil""
The reader makes the story come to life much more than just reading the book. Have done both.
Almek Manning--The entire story is viewed through his eyes.
Nick Sullivan has the great ability to make each character is the book well defined. It is as if he has become that character. He makes the story move along and makes the listener feel like he was there viewing the happenings
The book was too long to listen to it at one time. It was good that it was divided so that it has a logical stopping point and then could easily pick up the story line without any difficulty.
When is the next book in the series going to be available. The book is written very much like a script for a movie and has the dialog well defined.
"Fun futuristic coming of age story."
Vengeance is mine.
Saphire. I mean, how can you go wrong with a cat alien that change to humanoid form?
The lead, Almek Manning.
It made me smile spontaneously at various points.
"Nice Starter Story"
This book is what seems to be leeding up to a very good next book! It has a good plot so far, and good narration. Worth a listen. I will listen to the next book.
"Let me introduce ALMEK MANNING!!"
It is definitely something to my taste.
It was easy going and very interesting story. i didn't notice the time as it passed by.
During the story I had a vague sense of deja vu , but I couldn't understand why?
I think the book felt like a merger of New Star Trek movie and the first book of STEN series.
I will definitely get the second book as soon as it gets out!
Nnarration as always was superb.
"Great plot, awful story."
The way it was written. Had a lot of potential but was not done very well.
The story moved to slow and it sounded too much like a kids book.
Mark Boyett, he would have definitelty done a better job. And has a lot more range.
Most of the middle of this story.
