Full Service General Contractor Project for Daetwyler Cables
Fibre to the Home: Dietlikon launches Pilot Project
Last year the Swiss township of Dietlikon decided to link up all households and businesses with modern fibreoptic connections. A qualified partner was identified in the shape of Daetwyler Cables who are to be responsible for the planning and implementation of the fibreoptic network. In the wake of a pilot project in the industrial area, the whole expanse of the township can look forward to being supplied with Fibretothe-Home connections within four years at most.
At the end of November 2009 the people of Dietlikon were balloted and voted to approve a purpose loan of 3.35 million Swiss Francs (excluding VAT) to enable the expansion of the township's own broadband network to go ahead on the basis of "Fibre to the Home" (FTTH). Over 82% voted Yes.
By way of an initial step, a pilot project is now to be launched in the industrial area of "Dietlikon Süd" (South). This involves connecting all buildings occupied by electricity consumers whose usage is in excess of 100 megawatt hours (MWh) to the stateoftheart fibreoptic network. Each of these companies is to be issued with an optical junction box fitted with four glass fibres. In order to ensure the most comprehensive and highpowered range of services possible for Dietlikon industry, the township is making access to this top item of infrastructure available to all service providers (Sunrise, Swisscom, Cablecom etc.) without exception. This step will have the effect of further strengthening and expanding the attractiveness of Dietlikon as an industrial location.
Because the community organisations do not have sufficient resources at their disposal to implement a project of this nature successfully on their own, the local council decided to go for a general contractor option. Opting for a "turnkey solution" means that the interfaces - and thus also potential errors - can be reduced to a minimum. In addition, the responsibilities and costs are clearly defined.
Following extensive negotiations the local council has concluded a sole contractor agreement with Daetwyler Cables. The pilot project is scheduled for implementation within just three months. The planned handover date for this fully operational subproject is the beginning of August 2010. Assuming the success of the pilot project, Daetwyler Cables will proceed with the planning and implementation of the FTTH network in the remainder of the township area in January 2011. Commissioning will depend on the progress of the construction works i.e. will take place in stages. The intention is that, by the end of November 2014 at the latest, the whole of the area covered by the township will be linked up to FTTH. The parties have agreed not to disclose the price or the other terms and conditions of contract.

On April 24, 2014, Pinterest introduced 'Guided Search' for the mobile users. Guided search is about finding the best ideas by exploring various options. Whether you know exactly what you are looking for or you are just starting to look around, Guided Search helps you can find the answer that's the most relevant.
This new search will provide you many possibilities for the questions with more than one answer. Pinterest has more than 750 million boards with 30 billion pins specially selected by travelers, foodies and other pinners. As more than 75 percent of its search is on mobile devices, the social media platform is focusing on users in this segment.
According to Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann, till now, search has been focused on information retrieval, factual questions and factual answers. It is this that led them to develop a search engine that's more about teaching about users about their tastes and providing with them the opportunity to explore. So rather than simply offering an answer to a specific query like other search engines, Guided Search provides you with a carousel of suggestions with the options to narrow down the search by entering a topic into Pinterest search. For example, if you enter 'Plants' in the search field, you find 'Pins', 'Boards' and 'Pinners'. When you select one of these options and search the topic, you would find lot of suggestions such as Indoor, Decorating, For Shade and so on. You can choose from these suggestions or further explore them until you find what you think is the best.
Pinterest blog post explains the major benefits of the guided search:
- When you search for something (for example, road trips), descriptive guides help you wring out good ideas from other pinners, which helps to turn your search in the right direction
- Visuals can provide you with better search results as you may not know what you are looking for in certain cases until you see it
- As Guided Search is full of possibilities, users can not only find what they are looking for, but also make important discoveries along the way towards the right answer. This will improve their knowledge about a particular topic
This feature is currently available for iPad, iPhone and Android app and will be available on desktop platforms later.
How Online Marketers Can Improve their Visibility on Guided Search
Industry experts laud Guided Search results as extremely relevant and even better than other types of searches introduced by Pinterest. So well-optimized, quality pins are necessary to succeed with your online marketing. In addition to the importance of high quality images, attribution, rich pins and engaging in other conventional optimization methods, marketers need to note the following points:
- Guided search categories are not curated by Pinterest, but millions of Pinterest users who pin and re-pin various items. Since guided search results are produced according to user-provided metadata (pins' board names, descriptions and comments), online marketers should add relevant phrases and terms used by people while browsing to their pins' board names and descriptions
- Online marketers should also encourage users to caption and comment on their pins. They can build a community of users who will give relevant comments on their pins
Online marketers need a more refined social media optimization strategy to improve their visibility on Guided Search. A professional SEO company that specializes in providing Pinterest marketing, solutions can help with this.

Saskatoon firefighters battled an apartment building fire on the east side early this morning that has left at least 16 people homeless.
Fire investigators determined later Friday the blaze at 704 Hilliard Street was caused by improper disposal of smoking materials.
The fire broke out in the three-storey building early Friday morning. When fire crews arrived, flames were shooting from the roof of the building and reinforcements were quickly called in.
"Fire alarms were going off very loudly at 2 a.m. exactly, just about on the dot," resident Karen Thompson said. "And they woke me up, got me out of bed. I was startled obviously."
Thompson lives on the ground floor and went out into the hallway to check out the situation. She didn't see or smell any smoke and thought it was a prank.
'I looked up at the building at the top and the flames were probably six, seven feet high already so I knew it was quite serious and at that point we only had minutes to get out.' - Karen Thompson, resident
She went back into her apartment and opened the blinds. She then saw neighbour running to and from his car.
"And at that point, I realized there must be a fire," she said. "I ran out the building to talk to him for a second and he said 'it's a fire'. I think that's what he said to me, I mean I was so shocked".
She ran back in to get her laptop.
"And at that point, I looked up at the building at the top and the flames were probably six, seven-feet high already, so I knew it was quite serious, and at that point we only had minutes to get out."
The department called in eight trucks and 32 firefighters. Crews were able to get the fire under control in less than an hour, but not before it gutted four top-floor suites and left eight others badly damaged by water.
Fire crews went into the building to search and clear out about 100 people. At this time, firefighters believe that everyone made it out of the 48-suite building.
The fire was so intense that firefighters set up a perimeter outside the building, rather than battling it from the inside.
No cause has been determined. The fire caused about $2 million in damage.
People living in the building were initially given shelter in city buses called to the scene. They were then moved to another location and have since dispersed to stay with family and friends. There are no reports of injuries.
Erin Torgunrud who lives in the apartment block had to find a place to spend the night.
"We stayed over at a neighbour's house that let us into her house for the night," she said. "And then we came over after everybody woke up to try to assess stuff and we don't know anything."

60th Class Reunion at UMD
On Saturday, August 20, 2011, 20 UMD alumni from all over the United States gathered together on campus to celebrate their 60th class reunion. They met over breakfast and reminisced. Later in the day, they toured the 21st century campus.
Before the day's events, three alumni shared their stories about their youth, their careers, and their memories of UMD in 1951.
Norma (Bergerson) Nummela
Norma Nummela was born and raised in Duluth. At age six, her mother decided that it was time for her daughter to learn a musical instrument. "My mother originally wanted me to learn how to play the piano; however, because we did not own a piano, the violin was the next best choice. Who knew it would be my future?"
She graduated from Denfeld High School in 1947 and had played the violin for many musical events. During her four years at UMD, she played violin with the Duluth Symphony Orchestra. She graduated from UMD in 1951 with a major in music and education. Following graduation, she taught high school music for two years.
In 1952, she married Les Nummela and moved to several different places for her husband's military career. They lived in Denver, Colo.; Washington, D.C.; and Baltimore, Md. where Nummela's husband then pursued his graduate degree.
They eventually moved to Ohio where Nummela played violin with the Mansfield, Ohio symphony orchestra. Later, after moving to Iowa, she joined and played with the Cedar Rapids Symphony.
Beginning in 1967, Nummela joined the Omaha Symphony Orchestra where she was assigned to play in the first violin section. She played with the orchestra for over 44 years with top musical stars entertaining the community as guest artists with the symphony. Nummela also toured the Midwest with such notables as Tom Jones and Mitch Miller. In Omaha, she performed with Mel Torme, Elvis Presley, Mel Tillis, Tammy Wynette, the Judds, Barry Manilow, and many others.
Along with raising a family and playing the violin, Nummela owned and operated a retail store, the Candlelighter. The store offered an opportunity to experience new challenges in business, hiring salespeople, purchasing, displaying and buying merchandise at various gifts shows and markets.
When asked if she will retire from music, Nummela replies: "Not until the last note is played."
Donald M. Cook
For the past ten years, Donald Cook has managed the Elizabeth Center for Cancer Detection in Los Angeles, Calif. The center has screened and diagnosed hundreds of thousands of people for early cancer detection.
"In 2009, we screened over 13,000 people with our mobile units. We have two 36' mobile units that have the equipment for cancer screening, as well as the space for consulting people with the findings. It's an incredible asset to the community, as well as for cancer research."
Cook graduated from UMD in 1951 with a psychology degree. He then pursued his master of hospital administration at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. From 1964 to 1966, he was assistant professor at the George Washington University. He was then recruited and hired by Booz Allen & Hamilton whose headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. Cook became vice president and partner where he headed all of the health consulting for the federal government in the eastern half of the United States and the Caribbean. "It was an amazing job. I would have paid to work with them," he said.
Because Cook had received a unique degree at a time when hospital administration was just coming to fruition in academics, Cook was recognized as a rare entity in the industry. After eight years with Booz Allen & Hamilton, Cook was recruited by the South Miami Hospital. He chose to relocate and he became Chief Executive Officer for the next five years. When the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, Calif. knocked on his door, he left Miami and worked as the CEO for the Children's Hospital in L.A.
Once again, however, a company looking for someone with his skills and expertise approached him; the Amherst Associates hired him as vice president from 1981-1983. Cook directed a number of major projects including the San Diego trauma needs assessment study and a strategic health planning study for Orange County.
In 1983, Arthur D. Little hired him as a consultant, which turned into the opportunity that became his current employment. In 1984, Cook began Donald Cook Associates. Through this company, he began the Elizabeth Center for Cancer Detection, a business that he has owned and operated for many years.
Norman "Chuck" Sundeen
In 1951, Sundeen (known to his friends as "Chuck") graduated from UMD with a business and economics degree. His memories of playing on the first UMD hockey team created a lifelong love for higher education. "I wasn't a great student in high school. But when I attended UMD, and played on the hockey team, I studied more and tried harder. Hockey turned me into a good student. I was never the science type, but I liked numbers. That's why I didn't mind the accounting classes at UMD. And, of course, the hockey was great."
For four years, Sundeen played center, training on the local hills. "I sprinted them. It was a good workout. Now the players are faster and stronger. It could be the nutrition, maybe the equipment is better. But when I trained, it was running hills, and that was enough."
Upon graduation, Sundeen was hired as an auditor by the United States Steel Company. For the next 40 years, he traveled around the country, as well as to Germany and Canada, whenever businesses needed an annual audit. During one of his business trips to Montreal, he met his future wife, who sadly passed away in recent years. He has since retired from the steel company, but he fondly recalls his career. "It was a good job. I'm glad that I went to college and secured my future."

Not long ago I updated Strawberry from 5.14 to 5.18; I uninstalled the old version first, but it's possible some things got left behind.
As far as I can tell, I only have one version of Perl installed. I removed the perl5 folder before reinstalling 5.18, just prior to positing my question. Control Panel lists only one. I can only infer that the perl5 folder was installed along with Strawberry. Do you know if there is an insurgent program available to completely clean all Perl versions from a machine?
Running cpan rather than cpanm results in a large number of failed tests
Thank you for the suggestions, though.

The Vikings have another rookie from Arkansas.
With injuries mounting on their offensive line, the team has signed Grant Cook, a 6-4, 318-pound guard that can also play tackle. The Vikings released undrafted rookie defensive end Eric Latimore to make room for Cook on the 90-man roster.
Cook signed with the Packers as an undrafted rookie, but was released on July 25. Cook has been reunited with former Hogs Jarius Wright and Greg Childs, the receiving duo the Vikings picked up in the fourth round of the draft.
The Vikings need bodies up front with four of their linemen -- Pat Brown (knee), DeMarcus Love (shoulder), Kevin Murphy (heat-related illness) and Geoff Schwartz -- struggling with their health. Schwartz, who was being given a chance to compete with Brandon Fusco for the starting right guard job, has suffered a sports hernia, according to a league source with knowledge of Schwartz's magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam today. Schwartz could need four to six weeks or more to recover.

Cute Teepees For Kids ~ 6 Favourites!
Making forts and hiding out under blankets and pillow is SUCH an awesome part of childhood and I'd be lying if I said I never tear our living room couch apart to make forts with my daughter! There's something so cozy and adventurous about creating little spaces like that to crawl into! I used to make them when I was a little girl, so I could cuddle up inside with my favourite book! Lately
Here are some of my favourite teepees for kiddos!
Canvas And Bamboo Teepee via Play Haven — Loving the natural colours and the bamboo poles are a neat addition! This one's a biggy at 8′ tall!
Frilly Teepee via Sugar Shacks Teepee — Lovely lace adorns this cream coloured escape space!
Grizzly Bear Teepee via Buckle James — Rawr! For your tiny nature-lover!
Poppy Meadow Teepee via Catching Stars UK — I adore the potty motif! Garden tea party anyone?
Airplane Teepee via Truly Madly Teepee — This boyish airplane print is not only eye-catching, but not so young that it'll look out of place when your little one leaves toddlerhood.
Woodland Style Teepee via Catching Stars UK — Such a colourful style! This one has to be my favourite of all!
So many cute options! Any one of these would be completely adorable in a child's room or playroom! Maybe a fun gift idea for the holiday season!
Do you children enjoying making forts?

By Peter May, Globe Staff | May 11, 2004
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- It's happened before. It will happen again. At some point today, a private jet will land in the Los Angeles area and a waiting limousine will whisk Kobe Bryant through the historically horrible LA traffic to the Staples Center in time, his teammates and coaches hope, for Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs. Los Angeles needs him. The Lakers trail the best-of-seven series, 2-1, with the home team winning each time.
Making the jump from Colorado courtroom to Los Angeles basketball court has been a fact of life this season for Bryant and the Lakers. As he fights the rape charges against him, the NBA season continues, necessitating the private transportation in this very public of lives. Tonight will be the fourth time this season -- second in the playoffs -- that Bryant will make the commute from Eagle, Colo., to the Staples Center for a game.
His coach is used to it. Phil Jackson shrugged his rather broad shoulders yesterday when asked about the distraction, noting that it has happened often this season (sometimes between games). The players are used to it. As Karl Malone noted, "Sometimes, when you go through adversity throughout the season, it prepares you. It was like that during the season. In the first round of the playoffs against Houston, we did it. You kind of get accustomed to it. Whether you like it or not, it is what it is. We just try to go out and deal with it."
If history is any judge, the late-arriving Bryant will not be hurt by a missed practice (yesterday) or a missed shootaround (this morning). If history is any judge, the Lakers will deal with it, too. They are 3-0 in the previous three Kobe-at-the-11th-hour situations.
Game 1: Dec. 19 against the Nuggets. This was the only game of the three that Bryant's late arrival prevented him from starting. He showed up in the first quarter, then started the second and played 31 minutes, scoring 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting. He also made the winning shot as the buzzer sounded in a 101-99 victory. Alas, the winning shot came on a play that was not called for him and was necessitated because he had busted a few previous plays. That's Kobe.
Game 2: March 24 against the Kings. Bryant started and scored 36 points on 11-of-23 shooting (12 of 12 from the line) as the Lakers routed Sacramento, 115-91. He ended up playing 37 minutes.
Game 3: April 19 against the Rockets. This was the second game of the Houston series. Bryant started off "very shaky" according to Jackson. "He then untracked himself." Bryant scored 36 points on 9-of-20 shooting (16 of 17 from the line) and played 45 minutes in a 98-84 victory.
Jackson said the biggest problem with Bryant's back-and-forth is not the actual game itself (and the results seem to bear that out).
"He has not shown a great deal of difficulty coming back from these kinds of trips and playing that [night]," Jackson said. "The difficulty falls the day after, two days after those trips are over. Obviously, we're concerned. It's a critical part of the year. We're going to have to deal with it. What we get from him, we're thankful for.
"We're going to have to have a very potent Kobe to win."
The drill has been established. Jackson and Bryant talked Sunday night after the game and planned to talk again last night. Bryant was given a videotape of Game 3 to study on the way to and from Colorado. Once he gets back to Los Angeles tonight, depending on the time, he and Jackson will meet again and go over any last-minute changes or plans that have arisen out of the missed practice sessions. Then, the Lakers hope, it will be Kobe as usual.
But, as Malone noted, the Lakers cannot arrive expecting Kobe the Cavalry.
"We can't expect Kobe to come out and save us," the Mailman said. "We have to come out and continue to play. If you look at his track record since he's been doing these kinds of things, he's played extremely well. But you can't really bank on it. Just because he's coming back, we can't expect [a great game]. What he's doing is tough on anybody. It's mentally draining as well." . . .The Spurs practiced in Santa Monica at the Crossroads School, alma mater of Baron Davis and Austin Croshere. To a man, they vowed to forget their Game 3 no-show and come back looking more like the team that won 17 straight games until getting thrashed Sunday. "We played as if we thought somebody was going to give us something rather than trying to take something, which surprises me and disappoints me at the same time," coach Gregg Popovich said. Tim Duncan delivered one of the worst outings of his stellar career, missing shots (he was 4 for 14), making bad decisions (6 turnovers), and generally looking like Will Perdue in the 105-81 defeat. On the plus side, he played only 35 minutes. "I will be more aggressive," Duncan said. "I will be more assertive. At the same time, I'm not going to go out there and force things to make the game my game because if you work that way, it works against you. But I am a big part of what this team does." The Spurs have not lost two straight since dropping games at Sacramento and at Golden State March 14-15.


text: The Hourman (Rex Tyler) wiki last edited by chrisburgess99 on 09/21/16 06:49PM View full history OriginRex Tyler, one of the original founders one the JSA, started out as a biochemist. During his work in his college years at Bannermain Chemical he accidentally discovered a miracle-drug that could give one super human strength, super speed, and durability only for an hour; He called this new drug Miraclo. He decided to keep the drug a secret so he could test on himself without anyone else knowing. In order to further test the power of this drug he decided to patrol the city of Appleton as Hourman. At first he went by name The Hour-Man but later changed it to Hourman. He got his start by placing an ad in the newspaper stating The Man of The Hour would help anyone in need. The first adventure he went on as as a superhero was when a woman contacted him to stop her husband from falling in with the wrong crowd as she put it. During that time he stopped his first robbery. In November of 1940 he became a founding of the newly formed Justice Society of America along with the Green Lantern, The Spectre, the Atom, Doctor Fate, The Flash, Hawkman, and Sandman.Character EvolutionIn 1941 Rex left the JSA for Uncle Sam's Freedom Fighters and later joined the All Star Squadron. Later on Rex Tyler would find out that he was addicted to Miraclo. Since this discovery Rex has found different ways to access his powers without addictive risks. He first beat his addiction by developing a non-addictive formula of Miraclo. Then later, he began to use a black light lantern (similar to Alan Scott's) to activate the residue of Miraclo dormant in his body, but thanks to Johnny Quick he realized that his power now came from his metagene. Now all he needs to do say, "Man of the Hour!" to activate his super-powers, but it still will last for an hour.Because of the physical and emotional stress placed on him when he used the Miraclo drug he decided to retire in 1943, thought he still helped the JSA occasionally. While the drug may have granted him superpowers it was not without it's side-effects , on one occasion his system was poisoned due to the toxic effects of the drug though Kent Nelson, who was the Doctor Fate at the time was able to save him by using his mystical powers. Rex is now a retired hero, he currently lives with his wife and has passed the mantle to his son Rick.Major Story ArcsIn Zero Hour Rex Tyler would be killed in a battle with the ex-hero Extant but was saved at the last minute thanks to Hourman III ( Matthew Tyler, the android) taking his place.Alternate VersionsEarth 21Rex Tyler's deathRex was killed along with four police officers chasing him; after continuing to operate as a superhero despite that President Eisenhower had put out a warrant for his arrest. After his death, the Justice Society was given the option to disband and hang up their capes or register their identities with the government; they chose to disband.PowersBy using the Miraclo drug Rex Tyler is able to become the superhero known as Hourman for one hour at a time.Super-StrengthEnhanced SpeedNight VisionWeaknessesThe effects of the drug wear off after one hour and it takes 24 hours to remove all the toxins from his body.In Other MediaThe Rex Tyler version of Hourman has appeared on Batman: The Brave and the Bold in the episode "The Golden Age of Justice!".Rex - Leading the team.

I wrote about my mom because she is a huge rodel model to me. She was always so strong even when she was sick. She made a huge impact not only in my life but in many others lives. She loved to work with kids and she taught me the love of taking care of kids. She fought through whatever was going and was extremely stubborn at times, but I loved her no matter what. She inspired me to become a nurse and from her I learned to be strong when there is nothing else to be but strong. She loved me and the family. She enjoyed all the little moments with us and I enjoyed every moment with her. Even though she's gone now her memory will live on with the rest of us.
Sometimes life gives you blessings
and other great sadness.
I was brought an angel and she
had a name that met a lot to me.
Her name was Mom and she was God's Gift for me.
We had medical problems in our family,
but the worst one was heart disease.
It could come suddenly and take your life if not checked for it.
I had lost two people to cardiac arrest in the past couple years.
We had no clue she had it or that it would hit within the household.
She taught me a lot and told me this all the time.
"There is going to be obstacles in your life that you
will have to deal with love ones dieing.
They may have different issues such as medical,
but God will be there with you and he's going to challenge you.
You will have to face those challenges because they will never go away."
Everyday I saw her struggle with taking the pills and not wanting to.
She wanted to give up and not take them, but I told her she should do
it for us her family. We weren't always there for each other and yeah we
argued, but I loved her endlessly. An angel to me and is still now even
if she's gone. Being strong was who she was and she would push
herself to the breaking point. So, I would pick up with a lot she did.
Its now my responsibility to be strong and do what she did. I will not
give up. Courageous and sweetness was another strong suit of hers.
My mom wasn't just a role model, but she was also my best friend.
She is the reason I'm where I am today.
Her medical problems just made me want to be stronger.
It also made me want to see what I could learn about nursing.
We also saw her strongest over all the medical problems she had.
God knows that I loved her dearly, but he's testing me now.
I can feel it and I will be strong. Days went by and I noticed her
disease was taking over. She got more tired not wanting to do as
much. I fulfilled her last wish and went to homecoming like she
wanted me to. That was the last day I saw her alive.
After her passing it was tough and there were days I wanted to give
up. There honestly still is.
The hardest part was saying goodbye to my dearest friend, my mom
the strongest woman I know.
~The Writer Within Me~
This work here in this journal is mine. It's all original pieces and if I find out anyone is stealing my work that I put my heart and soul into I'm going to be really pissed. I work really hard to make my pieces really neat and worth everyone's time.

My kids would love something like that. It sounds like a lot of fun.
It's been years since I've been to one, but from what I remember it would be a lot of fun for a kid that age. Do they have a mid-day show? I just remember it going pretty far into the evening... But the food, the show, the audience involvement would all be great for a kid his age.

Popular establishment and great place to meet other trekkers especially if you're traveling alone.
Well kept rooms and toilets, good food in the restaurant with a great view.
Friendly staff who readily provide information on trekking, although their knowledge of places up the valley not the most up to date.
Nice fresh tomato soup but do ask them to skip adding the extra spice to it.
It's possible to make payment using a debit card at 5% service charge here and also to withdraw cash using the debit card at 8% service charge ...

As a die hard fan and Boston Celtics season ticket holder, I'm very interested in Rajon Rondo's streak of consecutive games with 10 or more assists, which now stands at 29 (tied for 3rd longest in NBA history). While sitting in the Garden Wednesday night and paying very close attention to Rondo's assist count, I had an epiphany of sorts. There were at least 3 or 4 plays where Rondo found a teammate wide open at the hoop, but missed out on an assist due to a foul on the layup attempt. A player shouldn't lose a potential assist just because the guy he passes to gets fouled. If the shooter hits the free throws and the points still go one the board, why doesn't the passer still get the credit? Or if one of two foul shots are made, there could be half an assist awarded. The scene pictured is a perfect example. Kevin Garnett got shoved, then went to the line and knocked down a pair. But Rondo's pass is forgotten in the box score.

With those obstacles out of your way, you and your partner are completely free to experiment with anal penetration and sex.
Apply Anal-Ese by lightly rubbing a finger-tip sized dab in and around your partner's sphincter ring. The cream starts working within 5-10 minutes. Start off slowly with some gentle teasing before inserting a finger or two to see how your partner responds. They might need another application if they're more sensitive than average.
Anal-Ese comes in a 1-ounce tube with screw-on lid. It is cherry flavored.
Ingredients: Benzocaine USP 7.5%. Inactive ingredients: FD&C Red 40, FD&C Yellow 5, Flavor, Glycerin PEG 6, PEG 8, PEG 32, PEG 75, Sodium Saccharin.

Glaucoma is second leading cause of blindness globally
The urgent need for more public health action to tackle glaucoma is underscored by the work of Swiss ophthalmologist André Mermoud, known as the 'glaucoma pope', whose charity Vision for All provides free eye health care for poor patients in India, where it has built and operates an eye hospital, and in central Africa.
Another reason is the reduced importance of trachoma as a cause of blindness.
This is due to several factors including the Global Elimination of Trachoma Project, which WHO launched with partner organizations, as well as better access to health care and information, and to eye care system development, and improved data.
In their paper Resnikoff et al. found that the world population aged 50 years and over had increased by 30% since 1990. In developed countries, the increase in people over 50 was 16% but in developing countries, excluding China, it was 47%, while in China itself the increase was 27%.
Ophthalmic experts say angle closure glaucoma is reaching "epidemic proportions" in China and other parts of Asia, but there are few reliable data from these countries.
Mermoud identified the lack of trained ophthalmologists as a major factor limiting the diagnosis and care of people with glaucoma in developing countries. In Europe, he said, there is one ophthalmologist for every 10 000 people; in India, there is one for every 400 000 people; and in Africa, one or less for every million.
"Within one million people, you will have 10 000 cataracts every year, and about 1–2% of people — that is, between 10 000 and 20 000 — will have chronic glaucoma. Yet there will be only one doctor to treat them," Mermoud said.
"Even when people do reach a doctor, they don't have the money to pay for medicines and eye drops which they may need to take for the rest of their lives. And although surgery to unblock the channels in the eye would be the ideal treatment, it does not work so well in African and Asian patients as in people of European descent for reasons of rapid scarring of the tissues," Mermoud said.
Mermoud is carrying out research to develop surgical procedures that will be more effective in people with glaucoma from Africa and Asia.
His charity has also established a hospital in the village of Mori, in Andhra Pradesh, in India, which is now one of the biggest eye hospitals in the country. It has two operating theatres and 50 beds.
Although the hospital was built only three years ago, it is now well on the way to being self funding. The poorest patients are treated free, those on middle incomes are asked for an affordable contribution and the wealthiest — who are attracted by state-of-the-art surgical techniques — pay the most, thus financing the treatment of those who pay less or nothing at all.
The hospital also has a bus equipped as a mobile diagnostic unit. Cataract and glaucoma are the most common conditions treated at the hospital; patients with more complex conditions are referred to an associated hospital, the L.V. Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad.
Vision for All has also begun working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Lubumbashi and in Brazzaville in Congo, Mermoud said.
To tackle the growing problem of glaucoma, Mermoud said public health officials needed to increase the number of ophthalmologists, particularly in Africa, and to train those already in place, in countries such as India, in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.
More work is needed to make medicines more affordable and more resources are needed for research to develop surgery that will be more ef- ficient on African and Asian patients, Mermoud said.

Marquette Concludes Regular Season Tuesday
March 3, 2014
GameTracker | Watch Live (Paid) | Marquette Notes
MILWAUKEE--The Marquette University women's basketball team concludes its 2013-14 regular season when it travels to Villanova Tuesday, March 4 for a 6 p.m. Central time tip.
The Golden Eagles (20-8, 11-6) have won five of their last six contests, and have knocked off two-consecutive teams that are ranked within the top 50 RPI in the nation in St. John's (21) and Creighton (50).
Last time out against Creighton on March 1, MU toppled the Bluejays 73-71, thanks in part to a career-high 33 points from senior forward Katherine Plouffe. Plouffe knocked down several key baskets down the stretch, including a career-high three 3-point baskets. After leading by as many as nine, Marquette saw Creighton battle back late in the second half to grab a five point advantage with two minutes left in regulation. Junior Arlesia Morse, who finished up 14 points off the bench for MU, made two key 3-pointers to propel the blue and gold to victory. Sophomore guard Brooklyn Pumroy dished a career-high 12 assists in MU's home finale.
The Last Meeting
December 31, 2013
Al McGuire Center

With a win over the Wildcats on Tuesday, Marquette could finish as high as second in the conference depending on the outcomes of other matchups. With a loss against Villanova, MU will finish fifth in the conference.
Win or lose, the Golden Eagles are guaranteed a first round bye in the conference tournament. Marquette will return to action on Sunday, March 9 in BIG EAST Conference Tournament action, game time hinges upon what seed the Golden Eagles are granted. Allstate Arena will host the BIG EAST Championship March 9-11, first round games on March 8 will be played at McGrath-Phillips Arena.

This section provides information concerning N1 System Manager operational processes that can assist you in troubleshooting. The following topics are discussed:
DHCP Service Conflict With N1 Grid Service Provisioning System
N1 System Manager Cannot Be Used to Manage System Management Servers
In this manual, the term manageable server is used for a server that is accessible by the N1 System Manager network, but has not yet been discovered by the N1 System Manager. A managed server is a server that has been successfully discovered by the N1 System Manager and is subsequently managed by the N1 System Manager.
The topics in this chapter and subsequent chapters are organized alphabetically.
If you are using both the N1 System Manager and the Sun N1TM Service Provisioning System with the OS provisioning plug-in, you must choose which product you want to use for OS deployment for a given target set of servers. Based on the product chosen for OS deployment, you must ensure that the DHCP service supplied by the other product is manually shut down (as the root user) using operating system commands. Failure to shut the service down might result in unreliable behavior of OS deployment operations as well as potential network related problems.
Discovery of manageable servers works across routers if the network services used by the discovery process are not blocked by a firewall. Network services used by the discovery process can include SSH, IPMI, Telnet and SNMP.
If the value of a monitored hardware health attribute, or OS resource utilization attribute breaches a threshold value, an event log is immediately created, which indicates that the threshold has been breached. The event log is available from the browser interface. A symbol appears among the monitored data table in the browser interface to indicate that a threshold has been breached, as shown in the graphic at To Retrieve Threshold Values for a Server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Discovery and Administration Guide.
Alternatively, use the show log command to verify that the event log has been generated:
N1-ok> show log Id Date Severity Subject Message . . 10 2005-11-22T01:45:02-0800 WARNING Sun_V20z_XG041105786 A critical high threshold was violated for server Sun_V20z_XG041105786: Attribute cpu0.vtt-s3 Value 1.32 13 2005-11-22T01:50:08-0800 WARNING Sun_V20z_XG041105786 A normal low threshold was violated for server Sun_V20z_XG041105786: Attribute cpu0.vtt-s3 Value 1.2
If monitoring traps are lost, a particular threshold status may not be refreshed for up to 30 hours, although the overall status can still be refreshed every 10 minutes.
Do not use the N1 System Manager to manage servers that have system management software installed on them such as Sun Management Center, Sun Control Station, and any other system management applications including the N1 System Manager.
The N1 System Manager uses strong encryption techniques and common agent container security keys to ensure secure communication between the management server and each managed server.
The security keys used by the N1 System Manager must be identical across all servers. Under normal operation, the security keys used by the keys can be left in their default configuration. You should regenerate the security keys if any of the following cases occur:

Record deal for Ushaw Moor Elvis – Lifestyle – Sunderland Echo
Published on Friday 28 December 2012 07:25
AN Elvis tribute singer is all shook up after being snapped up by a major record label.
Mark Nixon is so fond of the man with the most famous pelvis in pop that he changed his name to Mark "Elvis" Nixon.
The 24-year-old's passion for the rock 'n' roll star impressed bosses at RCA, part of Sony Music Entertainment, so much that they have given him a touring contract as an official Elvis tribute singer.
Mark, from Ushaw Moor, will have an intensive rehearsal period with RCA backing singers and dancers before touring Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA and UK as his idol.
The former New College Durham Performing Arts student started singing and idolising Elvis Presley from the age of 11.
Since he finished his course at New College Durham he has been impersonating Elvis, and has recently been under contract touring the Balearic Islands as the King of Rock and Roll.
Staff at his former college are delighted by his progress.
Maggie Etheridge, his former performing arts lecturer, said: "Mark has an enormous talent.
"Not only does he have the natural dark good looks of Elvis Presley, but his singing voice is an amazing tribute to the King.
"To be signed by Elvis' own record company to be their official Elvis is an amazing honour for a young man from County Durham, and he has beaten off competition from American talent."

I've passed by Carla Nichols Boutique many times since they opened their pink doors last October, and every time I think, "Oh! I need to go in there!" Finally, the day before Suzi's birthday, I did! {And I picked up a few awesome birthday/housewarming presents ~ right, Suzi?}
It was even lovelier than I had imagined. A beautiful round table with a bouquet of fresh roses welcomed me in, and offered a great selection of skinny jeans. And where would skinny jeans be without the face that inspired their comeback? Large photos of Audrey Hepburn hang just above shelves that hold clutch purses and vanities draped with jewelry and handmade hair accessories.
Owner Terri Barbieri greeted me warmly, and before long we were chatting about her boutique, fashion, and empowering women to treat themselves and finding their own ways to be beautiful.
"I've always had a passion for clothing and dressing up," said Terri. "My mom used to bring me on shopping trips in New York City when I was younger. I enjoy being well-dressed for work and taking the time for self care. My daughter, Stephanie Carla, is the same way."
Yes, that's where the "Carla" in Carla Nichols Boutique comes from. It's also Terri's granddaughter's name. "Nichols" is for Terri's son Nicholas. While you won't find many things for men in the shop, there is a fantastic little children's section, with photos of Stephanie and little Carla hung on the wall.
Most of the boutique, however, is filled with unique articles of clothing, luxurious scarves, beaded necklaces and rings, purses large and small, beautiful hats and headbands reminiscent of the 1920s — I tell ya, this would have been the perfect place to shop for my 1920s murder mystery party!
Possibly my favorite accent is this wall decal, found above the mirror in the shop's dressing room:
Everything about Carla Nichols' Boutique is inviting, empowering, and inspired. This is no accident. Says Terri, "I've always dreamed of having my own boutique. I wanted to create a space where women would come and shop, but also relax, have fun, and be proud of who they are as women."
The chaise lounge that Terri keeps just inside the door of her shop has been a place where women sip tea and catch up, compliment each other, and peruse the boutique for something special for themselves.
"I have something for every woman, I think," Terri says. "The items that I bring in are all unique in their own ways, and I try to find things at price points that will accomodate every woman's budget." The besteller? The handbag organizer:
Terri has these in different sizes and designs, and they sell like hotcakes. And why wouldn't they? They've got tons of pockets of all sizes for all kinds of purposes. It's something I will most likely go back for, especially with my resolution to Be Organized!
Oh, and those gifts I got for Suzi? One of them was a wine shoe. Yep, a fancy high-heeled shoe that holds your wine. Perfect for my sassy sister.
Needless to say, I will absolutely be back in Carla Nichols Boutique to treat myself and other ladies in my life. Stop in at 813 Main Street South in Woodbury during her hours: Tue – Fri: 11:00 am – 5:30 pm, Sat: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, Sun: 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Don't forget to "like" Carla Nichols Boutique on Facebook to stay informed of her upcoming events, like her "Ladies Night" on February 28th.

"We'll just have to go" Summer finished the line for him.
Liam looked at Summer and gave her a small smile, he reached over and took her hand and squeezed it. Then he looked at Kaitlin and gave her a sad smile.
"I'm sorry" he said.
Kaitlin looked at the two and stormed out before she burst in to tears. It's so unfair she thought to herself, Kaitlin was angry; Liam was the only brother she could actually get along with, the others were awful and they were the real ones.
"Well then, I suppose we'll be in England by the end of the week" Summer said quietly.
"I guess we will" Liam agreed.
"Excuse me ma'am but that's first class" the air hostess said trying to block the way so Summer couldn't pass.
"Yes, I know" Summer replied trying to unclasp Lilly-Mae's sticky hands from her neck.
"So you know you can't wander in as you please" the air hostess continued.
"What? Of course I am my seat is in there!" Summer told her moving Lilly-Mae to her other hip getting flustered.
The air hostess looked at Summer disapprovingly taking in the tiny wet patch on her right shoulder that had come from Lilly-Mae's tears.
Summer tried to barge past the air hostess but she was unsuccessful.
"I'm afraid I need to see proof" the air hostess said.
"For god's sake!"Summer cried "Fine, you want proof, watch this" she glared at the air hostess and took a deep breath then bellowed "Liam bring the bloody tickets here!!!" earning her dirty looks from rest of the passengers.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave" The air hostess said to Summer looking at her as if she was insane.
"Are you mad?" Liam asked causing the air hostess to jump; she looked at him and blushed.
"Sorry, was I blocking your way?" she asked him smiling sweetly.
"No, but you are blocking my wife's way, so if you could just move here and..." he said taking summer's arm making her push into the air hostess and causing her fall onto a passenger.
"Thanks very much" Liam said before turning to return to his seat.
"Bloody witch" Summer growled.
Liam laughed "Well at least she got what she deserved"
"Quick, Ava, Cayden get up now!" Summer said about three hours later "We need to get off first" she added grabbing the bags from the compartment.
"Why did we bring so much hand luggage?" she asked Liam as the bags crashed down to the floor.
"Wasn't my idea" he replied a smile twitching at his lips.
Home Sweet HomeTeen Fiction
It's time for Summer to go back home, her husband Liam has been offered the opportunity of a lifetime, meaning more money and a better life for their children; Ava-grace, Lilly-Mae and Cayden-Ellis. But returning home means facing her stepdad and mu...

With all business disposed of relative to the 2017 Regular Session, legislators and the governor can receive grades (barring a miraculous veto override session). Twelve bills were selected and weighed for computation, all but two having been voted upon in both chambers. These were chosen from the watch list compiled throughout the session. For a bill's vote(s) to be selected, in one chamber there had to be more than one legislator not voting for the winning or losing side.
Being that passage of bills depends upon the seated membership of a body, not voting is counted as a negative vote. However, if a legislator had a leave of absence granted for that day, his absent votes weren't counted for bills voted on that day and the score adjusted to take that into account.
Here are the bills with votes for final passage in every case on which the scorecard was computed, with the conservative/reform position and the weighing indicated:

A stock's earnings history is one of the most important things to look at when scouting for potential trade candidates.
Always insist that a company shows a strong track record of profit growth.
But what's also paramount is what's to come. That's why investors should also pay attention to full-year earnings estimates.
While a robust record of growth is a good thing to see, the past is the past. What lies ahead for the going concern will often determine whether the stock becomes a big winner or not.
Full-year earnings estimates can give investors the heads-up on big growth companies for the upcoming year or two.
Where do these earnings estimates come from
Analysts from major brokerage and investment research firms do the legwork to forecast the potential earnings figures of companies. They meet with company management, listen to conference calls, talk with suppliers and customers, and research the products and services they sell. They pore over financial statements and study industry trends.
Granted, analysts can be conservative in their estimates. That said, investors should seek projections of 15% and higher. Generally, it's better to demand more. According to the A in , annual profit growth should be at least 25% each year.
Also, note that earnings estimates are not set in stone. They can change depending on new announcements, or after the release of a company's quarterly results.
Annual earnings estimates are found in a number of places in IBD, eIBD and online at Investors.com. Investors can also get estimates from vendors such as Thomson-Reuters, S&P Capital IQ and Factset.
Published Mondays and Wednesdays, the IBD 50 shows the annual EPS percentage change estimates for each stock.
In the March 25 edition of the IBD 50, mortgage servicer Ocwen Financial (OCN) showed an annual EPS estimate of +246% — the best among the IBD 50 stocks. Ocwen is growing as major banks move out of the mortgage servicing business.
Car rental giant Hertz Global (HTZ)had an annual earnings percent change projection of 42%.
And analysts saw CommVault Systems' (CVLT) full-year profit rising 39%. The software firm is benefiting from the Big Data trend.

Throughout the United States as well as in Missouri, it is a violation of Federal, State and local law to produce for wholesale or retail sale, any low acid or acidified canned food without first having attended and passed a course of instruction at a school approved by the Food & Drug Administration Commissioner. These training courses are called Better Process Control Schools. The courses cover the principles of Thermal Process Control, Acidification and Container Closure Evaluation. Classroom study is not the only thing you must do to legally produce and sell this type of food.
The following steps outline the process:
- Attend and successfully complete a Better Process Control School.
- Register with the Food & Drug Administration as a canning establishment using Form FD-2541.
- Consult with a "Process Authority" to determine if the canning process you propose is adequate and approvable. [It is necessary to submit a control process for each product you wish to produce and for each size of the same product] Process filings should be sent to the FDA using form FD-2541a.
- Process filings for aseptic processing of low acid foods should be submitted on form FD-2541c.
A "Process Authority" is an individual that the Food & Drug Administration recognizes as capable of reviewing your process and advising you on the suitability and safety of what you intend to do. A "Process Authority" can be a professor associated with a University or a privately employed food scientist from some other organization. These people charge a fee for their expertise. There are presently no Process Authorities in the state of Missouri.
To find instruction for filing the required forms,the forms, or to file forms electronically go to the FDA Acidified and Low Acid Foods web page.
Those individuals desiring to do so may obtain forms and filing information through the mail by contacting FDA at the following address:LACF Registration Coordinator (HFS-618)Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition (FDA)5100 Paint Branch ParkwayCollege Park, MD 20740-3835
Do you need to consult with a Process Authority? Please keep in mind that this list is not endorsed by Jefferson County Health Department and is not all inclusive.

New Delhi, July 26: A day after series of eight low intensity bomb blasts hit Bangalore city, killing two people and wounding at least 15, another live bomb was found near Forum Mall in city's Koramangla area.
The bomb has now been defused.
Police cordoned off the area and blocked the entire stretch leading to the mall. Traffic has been diverted from Hosur Road and Koramangla.
Bangalore Police Commissioner Shankar Bidri also reached the area and urged the locals to remain calm.
The object found today is similar to the one used in Friday's blasts, said police.
The National Bomb Detection squad has rushed to the spot to conduct more checks.
On Friday after the blasts, Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa asked a special team to lead the probe.
One lakh rupees has been granted to the families of the dead and 25-50 thousand rupees to the injured. Police and other officials have been directed to monitor the situation round the clock. Special team has been constituted to nab the culprits.
Karnataka Home Minister V. S Acharya said gelatine sticks and a concoction of ammonium nitrate in fuel oil was used to cause some of the explosions. Nuts, bolts and nails were also packed in the bombs.
Acharya said that urea and arsenic with some yellowish colour material here used with some nuts and bolts, which acted as a missile. The explosives were dumped about a foot inside the ground. "It looks it was done in a hurry," he added.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Sriprakash Jaiswal forewarned that intelligence inputs had indicated that Bangalore and Hyderabad were soft targets.
"IB (Intelligence Bureau) has declared earlier that hi-tech city, either Bangalore or Hyderabad could be centre of terror attack as there are some forces jealous of the progress and they could strike these locations," he said.
High alert has been issued across the country following the incident.
City Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari said that yesterday the blasts took place at the Madivala bus stop, Hossur road, Adugudi, Koramangla, Mysore Road and Nayadahalli and other two places (ANI)

KU graduate says she would not have attended college if not for in-state tuition for undocumented students
Topeka Pleas from both sides of the immigration debate were expressed Tuesday as a House committee considered repealing the law that allows some undocumented students to pay the same lower tuition rates as legal residents of Kansas.
"We are here because we want to learn and make this state better," said Alaide Vilchis, a 2008 graduate of Kansas University.
Andrea Pardo-Spalding, a Kansas State University graduate, said she came here from Mexico as a child with her parents. "My heart is rooted in the land of opportunity. I just want to give back all the blessings that this great nation and state has given me," she said.
When they graduated from high school, both women took advantage of a law passed in 2004 that states individuals who attended high school in Kansas for three years and either graduated or received a GED could pay the in-state tuition rate. They also must pursue citizenship.
Approximately 430 students are benefiting from the law.
Both women said they could not have attended college if they were forced to pay the higher out-of-state tuition rates.
But critics of the law have tried for years to repeal it. They say the law encourages illegal immigration, adds to the burden of taxpayers and is unfair to foreign students who are legally here to attend school.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach told the House Federal and State Affairs Committee that, "The state of Kansas is giving an incentive to remain unlawfully present in the United States."
Kobach, a Republican, said he was testifying not as secretary of state but as an attorney who is an expert on this issue.
Kathy Brown, an attorney from Kansas City, Mo., said, "I'm appalled at the endless invasion of illegal aliens into our country. We have enough entitlements that they are already able to claim and I certainly don't want them to be able to continue to receive in-state tuition in violation of federal law."
The hearing on House Bill 2006 was scheduled to continue on Wednesday.

As we enter the first days of March, it's safe to say that Chicharito's inauspicious situation is about 90 days from arriving at its extremity. If there was a way for me to give Chicharito any pointers on how to proceed it would be to follow the lead of his Mexican counterpart, Andres Guardado.

I'm not really a "yellow" person but one of the perennials we have is a Black Eyed Susan.
They really are a "happy" flower, I think. Don't you?
I just LOVE the way an old mason jar looks holding a bunch of seasonal flowers.
Our gardens, here in NJ, were horrible this year. We had too much rain and way cooler days than average. None of my hanging pots made it and I didn't even bother planting annuals.
I am looking foward to getting fall potted plants going. The weather is cooling down and it has me in a real Fall mood.
Have a great week!

The Spitzer camp sent out a mass e-mail via campaign manager Ryan Toohey to explain why he chose Paterson as his No. 2. It hits all the high notes: reformer, leader, inspiration etc. An excerpt:"David has all the attributes you'd look for in a running mate: intelligence, good judgement and integrity. He's one of the warmest and most engaging people you'll ever meet. In addition, his personal story in overcoming disability is truly inspiring."
And another:
"Put simply, David has been brilliant as leader of the Democrats in the State Senate. During his tenure, the Democrats have significantly narrowed the margin of Republican control in the Senate, and they are poised to make further inroads. David has achieved this by emphasizing the need for sweeping reform in Albany. That is what appealed most to Eliot. Changing the status quo is what Eliot is about, and it is what this campaign is about."
Toohey includes a link to Spitzer's site for a page where everyone is saying how great Paterson is, including two people whose names are out there as possible minority leader successors: Sen. Neil Breslin, D-Albany, and Sen. Malcolm Smith, D-Queens.

AFI Fest 2011: The literate anxieties of 'The Color Wheel'
If the film media have been abuzz over the unusual brother-sister dynamic in the upcoming "Shame" or the resolutely incorrigible main character of the new "Young Adult," wait until local audiences get a look at the odd match-up of gratingly abrasive people in Alex Ross Perry's "The Color Wheel." The young critic Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, tapped by Roger Ebert for his revived "At the Movies," declared the film "the cinema of the future, I hope."
In the film, Colin (Perry) receives a call from his semi-estranged sister, J.R. (Carlen Altman), asking for a favor. Soon they set out on a wayward road trip to pick up her stuff from the apartment she had been sharing with a former professor. Along the way one bad interaction with other people leads to another, and soon the pair realize that, as much as they can't stand each other, they can't stand everybody else even more.
This ruefully acid-dipped send-up of the indie family comedy plays Saturday and Monday as part of AFI Fest. It will also screen on the UCLA campus on Tuesday as a double bill with Perry's first feature, 2009's "Impolex." (I will be moderating a Q&A with Perry at the UCLA event. It's free!)
"In a perfect world, I'd like to be able to hook people in and get people who are interested in a slightly transgressive film that's not a goofy, silly road-trip comedy," said Perry, 27, from his apartment in Brooklyn, "but I'd also like to hook people in who think they're going to get a very familiar, standard type of thing and sucker-punch them with something that they are not prepared for and are not prepared to be comfortable with."
The film, shot in shimmery 16-millimeter black-and-white by the talented cinematographer Sean Price Williams, takes place in a series of timeless diners and motels, an offbeat Americana still found off local highways. As the siblings bicker and banter, they reveal themselves as self-centered and snobbish but also surprisingly tender and sensitive toward each other despite their differences. Perry and Altman display a chemistry that could presumably not be faked, seeming to grow increasingly annoyed with each other.
"It's not not part of it," said Perry of whether the pair, who share screenplay credit, actually made each other a little nuts. "There was a specific set of sensibilities that we could come together on and a certain type of awkward comedy that we had together. If nothing else, it makes the characters seem like they do have a history together. And that works, ultimately."
"I guess we did drive each other crazy," added Altman, 28, in a separate phone call from elsewhere in Brooklyn, "in that we were just really anxious about getting it done. It did kind of feel like he was becoming my brother during the process. It felt like a bickering relationship, but it was a means to an end. I accepted that the process was kind of stressful."
Where Perry's "Impolex" was directly influenced by the Thomas Pynchon novel "Gravity's Rainbow" — "It's my book report on what scenes in a certain novel mean to me," he explained — for "The Color Wheel" he extrapolates the oeuvre of Philip Roth, looking to capture the same sense of literate sexual frustration and articulated anxieties. (Perry even commissioned a graphic designer to create a typeface for the credits and poster based on the covers of early editions of Roth's novels.)
At a time when movie-making is coping with technological changes and new developments at all levels, there is something radical about a young filmmaker choosing to shoot on film and making cinema as a response to literature.
"Both times I was reading a book and thought, 'I haven't really seen a movie that feels like this,' " Perry explained. "And that was as good a starting point as any. Roth's books are hilarious, first and foremost as comedy, and they are incredibly sad and very depressing. They are full of powerfully written language, beautiful monologues and internal monologues and conversations between people that are devastating, full of titillating, risque elements that are kind of exciting.
"I can't really think of a movie that has all of these things. It was interesting to say, I would like to watch that movie."

I have a 92 Ford F-150 4X4 AND HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH MY QUICK CONNECT TO THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER FOR ABOUT 20 HRS! I was wondering if there are different size lines for these trucks.

I even bought a brand new line hoping that the old one was worn out but NOPE the same thing happened. I also bought a new slave cylinder just for a new spring clip but I put it in and that did not work either. Please help.I don't want to pull the tranny. Thanks

Wrapped up our vacation at Fort Morgan near Gulf Shores - beautiful weather and beautiful views. A bit of seaweed, some jellyfish, bull sharks and dolphins - a great time! The rest of my clan got to enjoy the Perseid Meteor Shower but I was studying the inside of my eyelids...ah, vacation regrets!
So back to the real world!
Kids are starting back at Birmingham Southern College and Jackson Prep and I'm looking into CrossFit sampling a class today at Kudzu Crossfit in Gluckstadt.
In terms of products I'm using right now, as I've mentioned before, I've become a skeptical convert to MPow Swift Bluetooth Headphones. These are a fantastic bargain at JayBird BlueBirds both for the solid active fit and the water-resistance - the BlueBirds are LiquiPel protected; the MPow Swifts "flaked out" on me during a really long, sweaty run a couple of weeks ago). I've just received MPow's new sports-fit Bluetooth Cheetah headphones, and used them on a longish run this weekend. I was very pleased with the fit - best sports fit I've experienced - ease of use, and sound quality were solid. However, they developed significant skipping that became so annoying I shut them off for the last 2 miles of my run. Not sure if this was an iPhone 6 issue or a headphone issue, but I've never experienced this kind of problem with my JayBirds. Even the MPow Swifts have had only intermittent occasional skipping. I'll give these another chance or two, but this may be a deal-breaker.
I also picked up one of SanDisk's new Wifi-enabled Connect USB drives (64GB version) for use with iOS products and I am thrilled with ease of use, features and usefulness. This is really going to expand my ability to live without a laptop - getting by with just my iPad paired with a LogiTech Ultrathin BT keyboard.
After visiting the CrossFit class, we've opted to stick with Madison HealthPlex and the Fitness Boot Camp program (we've done two "tours" already!). We'll hopefully jump in next week - now that I'm back from Pittsburgh, Trish is back from Las Vegas, Molly is settling in Birmingham and we are about to enjoy the Mississippi Book Festival this weekend.
