Selected Important Safety Information
Liraglutide causes dose-dependent and treatment-duration-dependent thyroid C-cell tumors at clinically relevant exposures in both genders of rats and mice. It is unknown whether Saxenda® causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans, as the human relevance of liraglutide-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined. Saxenda® is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC and in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Counsel patients regarding the potential risk of MTC with use of Saxenda® and inform them of symptoms of thyroid tumors (eg, a mass in the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea, persistent hoarseness). Routine monitoring of serum calcitonin or using thyroid ultrasound is of uncertain value for early detection of MTC in patients treated with Saxenda®.
Indications and Usage
- Saxenda® (liraglutide) injection 3 mg is indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adult patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater (obesity) or 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (eg, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia)
Limitations of Use
- Saxenda® is not indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
- Saxenda® and Victoza® both contain the same active ingredient, liraglutide, and therefore should not be used together. Saxenda® should not be used in combination with any other GLP-1 receptor agonist
- Saxenda® has not been studied in patients taking insulin. Saxenda® and insulin should not be used together
- The effects of Saxenda® on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality have not been established
- The safety and efficacy of Saxenda® in combination with other products for weight loss, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal preparations, have not been established
- Saxenda® has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis
Important Safety Information (cont'd)
Saxenda® is contraindicated in:
Patients with a personal or family history of MTC or MEN 2
Patients with a prior serious hypersensitivity reaction to liraglutide or to any of the product components
- Pregnancy
Warnings and Precautions
- Risk of Thyroid C-cell Tumors: If serum calcitonin is measured and found to be elevated, the patient should be further evaluated. Patients with thyroid nodules noted on physical examination or neck imaging should also be further evaluated
- Acute Pancreatitis: Based on spontaneous postmarketing reports, acute pancreatitis, including fatal and non-fatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis, has been observed in patients treated with liraglutide. After initiation of Saxenda® observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis (including persistent severe abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back and which may or may not be accompanied by vomiting). If pancreatitis is suspected, Saxenda® should promptly be discontinued and appropriate management should be initiated. If pancreatitis is confirmed, Saxenda® should not be restarted
- Acute Gallbladder Disease: Substantial or rapid weight loss can increase the risk of cholelithiasis; however, the incidence of acute gallbladder disease was greater in patients treated with Saxenda® than with placebo even after accounting for the degree of weight loss. If cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder studies and appropriate clinical follow-up are indicated
- Risk of Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Anti-Diabetic Therapy: When Saxenda® is used with an insulin secretagogue (eg, a sulfonylurea) serious hypoglycemia can occur. Consider lowering the dose of the insulin secretagogue to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose parameters prior to starting Saxenda® and during Saxenda® treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Heart Rate Increase: Mean increases in resting heart rate of 2 to 3 beats per minute (bpm) were observed with routine clinical monitoring in patients treated with Saxenda® compared to placebo in clinical trials. Heart rate should be monitored at regular intervals consistent with usual clinical practice. Patients should inform healthcare providers of palpitations or feelings of a racing heartbeat while at rest during Saxenda® treatment. For patients who experience a sustained increase in resting heart rate while taking Saxenda®, Saxenda® should be discontinued
- Renal Impairment: In patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Saxenda®, there have been reports of acute renal failure and worsening of chronic renal failure, usually in association with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration, which may sometimes require hemodialysis. Use caution when initiating or escalating doses of Saxenda® in patients with renal impairment
- Hypersensitivity Reactions: Serious hypersensitivity reactions (eg, anaphylaxis and angioedema) have been reported during postmarketing use of liraglutide. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, patients should stop taking Saxenda® and promptly seek medical advice
- Suicidal Behavior and Ideation: In the Saxenda® clinical trials, 9 (0.3%) of 3,384 patients treated with Saxenda® and 2 (0.1%) of the 1,941 with placebo reported suicidal ideation; one of the patients treated with Saxenda® attempted suicide. Patients treated with Saxenda® should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior. Discontinue Saxenda® in patients who experience suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Avoid Saxenda® in patients with a history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation
Adverse Events
- The most common adverse reactions, reported in ≥5% are: nausea, hypoglycemia, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, headache, decreased appetite, dyspepsia, fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain, and increased lipase
Drug Interactions
- Oral Medications: Saxenda® causes a delay of gastric emptying, and thereby has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Monitor for potential consequences of delayed absorption of oral medications concomitantly administered with Saxenda®
Use in Specific Populations
- There are no data on the presence of liraglutide in human breast milk; liraglutide was present in the milk of lactating rats
- Safety and effectiveness of Saxenda® have not been established in pediatric patients. Saxenda® is not recommended for use in pediatric patients
- Saxenda® slows gastric emptying. Saxenda® has not been studied in patients with preexisting gastroparesis

GoDaddy has "leaked" one of its two Super Bowl 2012 ads, and the spot -- featuring spokeswoman Danica Patrick and health guru Jillian Michaels painting a naked model like a race car -- falls in line with the web hosting company's tradition of scandalous commercials.
As Patrick and Michaels admire the parts of the model that they painted with GoDaddy's logo (all the while goading viewers to imagine the parts they left, well, naked) the camera pans to two still-wet words on the smirking model's collar bone: "Get Noticed!" A motto that GoDaddy appears to live by.
"We have a term we use with our ads that is GoDaddy-esque," Barbara Rechterman, chief marketing officer at GoDaddy, told Business Insider. "We like them edgy but we keep them clean enough not just for the Super Bowl but for other networks' prime time television as well."
But Rechterman admits that it has taken GoDaddy a few years to find the right formula for an ad that's racy enough to get attention but tame enough to get past a network's standards and practices department.
While NBC approved this year's batch -- the second spot features Patrick and the newest Pussy Cat Doll -- immediately, GoDaddy told BI that ABC had rejected 13 versions of their ads in 2006. Ten were rejected in 2008, eight in 2009, and three in 2010.
But do these ads work? USA Today ran a front page feature Friday examining GoDaddy's tradition of salacious Super Bowl spots. The headline questioned, "Super Bowl ads get racier, but does sex sell?"
Bruce Horovitz reported:
According to the research gurus at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, who have been analyzing Super Bowl ads for more than two decades. They've found that spots with sexual imagery take a 10% hit in "likability" vs. ads without racy images.
Likable or not, the writing on the naked model says it all: GoDaddy's ads have certainly gotten the company noticed.
In 2011, Nielsen recorded that GoDaddy.com saw the largest traffic increase following the Super Bowl ever recorded. The week after the big game, GoDaddy.com experienced a 41 percent increase in unique U.S. visitors from the week prior to the Super Bowl.
Rechterman also sent BI data showing how the Super Bowl ads have increased their market share of new domain names. After their first Super Bowl in 2005 -- in which one ad was pulled by FOX at the last minute for being too inappropriate -- GoDaddy's market share increased from 16 percent to 25 percent. Since then, their market share has increased incrementally. After their 2011 ads, GoDaddy has reached 53 percent, a figure that holds throughout the year.

NORRISTOWN - Whether at home with a guitar pick, paintbrush, terrarium, or taco in hand, Walla Fest had something for everyone this weekend.
For the fourth year in a row, Walla Fest brought artists, bands, and fans to The Centre Theater in Norristown for a two-day arts festival.
Started in 2011 by Anthony Bui, Keba Robinson and Yesenia Bello - aka the founders of the 'Walla Family' - as a high school project, the festival featured 16 local bands, artists from around the corner and as far as Florida, and snacks and tacos provided by Edible Forrest Urban Farm and Tortilleria La Familia respectively.
'This was definitely the biggest turnout we've had,' said Bello. 'Each year we try to get more artists to come.'
According to the Walla Fest website, the goal of the festival is to 'cultivate a space for bands, artists and audiences, both local and beyond, to gather around and bask in the glory of being creative, unique individuals.'
Day one of the festival featured The Snails, Pine Barons, Vita and the Woolf, Abi Reimold, Cyber Bully Mom Club, Dead Tenors, Roya, and Strawman on the fourth floor of the theater.
Throughout the festival the third floor was transformed into an art gallery featuring photography, painting and vendors selling wares and jewelry.
Conshohocken-native Kelly Donahue, who now lives in Point Breeze, sold pre-made and custom-order patchwork, while East Norriton-native and Norristown Area High School student Erin Drennen sold miniature terrariums and earrings made from bottle-caps, buttons and beads.
'Mr. Doyle is the best. He does so much for the Norristown community,' Drennen said about the theater's Creative Director, John Doyle, who also works in the Norristown Area School District as a teacher and the Communications Center director.
John Freeman was invited by a friend to make a trip up the east coast from Jupiter, Florida to display and sell paintings alongside paper-flowers. Artists Zoe Ganslaw and Samantha McGeehan became artwork themselves as they invited festival-goers to paint on their bodies. The pair stood on tarps beneath the words 'Paint us how you feel when…' with a different activity or emotion below it which ranged from 'dancing freely' to 'eating a sandwich while baking.'
'At first everyone was neatly painting. But then as the signs got more emotional, they started pouring it on,' Ganslaw said.
Day two featured SANDY Alex G, Free Cake for Every Creature, Somniac, Vivre Sa Vie, Amadels, Maestranza, Crosslegged, and Old Scratch.
On Sunday between sets, the theater screened 'Porches. Being Alone' directed by Heather Craig and edited by Erin Whitson. Porches is a documentary about six young musicians driving from coast to coast and the people and adventures they found, which happened to be as diverse as the crowds gathered at Walla Fest.
The festival is sponsored by the Walla Family and iradiophilly.com

In the past couple of weeks, two musical events of a somewhat homespun nature have reminded me that the soul of great music lies not in such commercial principles as starry names and big crowds, nor even in note-perfect renditions of a score, but in the dedication, love and joy the performers bring to their task and the magical realms they weave for their listeners in sound. At any level, music-making, to be any good, must be a labor of love that draws the audience in and lets us share in the triumph, and that is precisely what emerged on both these occasions.
The first was a house concert hosted by my friend Jim, who decided on the spur of the moment to offer his living room as a venue for three talented musicians to try out a new program. The second was a concert performance of Handel's Rinaldo, uncut, with piano accompaniment, given at my local church by the New York Opera Forum. My friend's living room accommodates something short of twenty-five seats, and though the church is somewhat larger, it was, alas, less than a quarter full for this event. From a commercial standpoint, one might have thought it a waste of the artists' long hours of preparation to perform for audiences that, combined, would not have filled a single row at the Met.
Not so.
When the young violinist Colin Pip Dixon introduced the Kreuzer Sonata by reminding us that its dedicatee had declined ever to attempt the piece on the grounds that it was unplayable, then proceeded to play the bejesus out of it; when Ivy Adrian, at the keyboard, drew a whole symphony orchestra's worth of sound from Jim's parlor upright, with the rest of us so close behind her we could almost imagine we were playing this incredible music ourselves, surely Beethoven was well served.
When Tonia Manteneri all but literally raised the roof of the church with a whopping high note, from a spot barely twenty feet in front of us; when, in the Rinaldo–Almirena duet "Scherzano sul tuo volto," Marilyn Spesak and Karole Lewis traded exquisite and ravishingly voiced pedal-point effects that seemed to suspend time, or Spesak and Manteneri faced off in a war of notes more viscerally thrilling than any hyper-realistic 3D movie battle; when Richard Nechamkin, at the piano, transported every person in the room far from big-city cares to Almirena's serene and bucolic garden; when Tyler Wayne Smith, a countertenor I'd never heard of, sailed through Handel's formidable hurdles unscathed, in a voice of rich resonance and expressive warmth — surely these earnest performers' labor was not lost.
And when a casual operagoer cannot help laughing in sheer delight at the vocal fireworks; when an entire audience leans in to the keyboard as one with the pianist in a particularly intense passage, or exerts all its collective energy to will a singer through a particularly challenging passage, then cheers him to the rafters when he succeeds, the musical gods must be smiling as beneficently on these anonymous efforts as they ever smiled on the top box-office draw at the greatest opera house in the world.
These names may never be household words in the music industry, but in my book, the thrilling connection they made with a small handful of music-lovers on those two memorable nights rendered them worthy present-day votaries to the same muse that inspired Handel and Beethoven so many years ago.

I've used galvanized sheet metal and self-tapping screws covered in CLD and filled any gaps with duct seal
I've used galvanized sheet metal and self-tapping screws covered in CLD and filled any gaps with duct seal
seems like someone with a 3-D scanner could create files of the doors of most popular vehicles, then you take the file/ download to your local library/3-D printer space, and voila....
for a small fee and the cost of a spool of resin one could have custom fitted door seal panels, probably would be better to engineer into the panel some structural rigidity, like honeycomb or whatever, then let the 3-D printer do all that hard work, leaving lightweight panels with bracing built-in, ready for install with screw holes already part of the piece.
might be a bit too fancy for shoring up door work, mid bass isn't that important anyway... if no one is going to see it anyway.
From my log finally attempting a good job at sealing.. I used .020 aluminum sheet, full-coverage with CLD, to fill the hole what I could and CCF where it wasn't terribly feasible over the window motor. Inside was treated with layer of moisture-covered Owens Corning 703. CLD coverage over every hole that could be covered also. Basically the window slit and where doorcard attachment pin holes are, are the only unsealed areas. A CCF and MLV layer between the card and door metal, along with existing CLD on door metal remained. Then insulation actually in the voids of the door card itself, as well as FAST rings round the driver. Easily the single best thing I've done this year in terms of improving speaker response. Flat out worked. Fixed huge phase-related voids from backwave interference etc. I can't speak highly enough of a good job sealing a door.

This is a very common skin disease that causes a rash. When this rash appears, it often looks like the one pictured above. The skin tends to have a:
One or more of these rashes can appear on the body. Sometimes, the affected skin itches.
Many infants get cradle cap. This is a type of seborrheic dermatitis (seb-uh-ree-ick dur-muh-tahy-tis) that develops in babies. Scaly, greasy patches form on the baby's scalp. The patches can become thick and crusty, but cradle cap is harmless. Cradle cap usually goes away on its own within a few months.
Babies also get seborrheic dermatitis in their diaper area and elsewhere. In the diaper area, the red rash often is mistaken for diaper rash. A few babies get seborrheic dermatitis that covers much of the body with red, scaly patches.
No matter where the seborrheic dermatitis forms, it tends to permanently disappear between 6 months and 1 year of age.
When an adult gets seborrheic dermatitis, the condition can come and go for the rest of the person's life. Flare-ups are common when the weather turns cold and dry. Stress also can trigger a flare-up. The good news is that treatment can reduce flare-ups and bring relief.
The signs and symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis vary with age. The following describes how it affects people at different ages.
Seborrheic dermatitis causes:
In adults and adolescents, the skin can:
Patches form where the skin is oily:
Patches form where the skin is oily, such as on the scalp, face, and in the ear canals.
When an infant gets seborrheic dermatitis, it tends to form on the scalp and is known as cradle cap. Signs and symptoms of cradle cap include:
In infants, seborrheic dermatitis also can form on the face, usually on a baby's eyelids, around the nose, or ears. It also forms in the diaper area. In a few babies, seborrheic dermatitis covers most of the body.
Most infants seem unbothered by seborrheic dermatitis. Cradle cap sometimes itches.

Researchers are still studying what causes this common skin disease. From what they have learned, it appears that the cause is complex. Many factors seem to work together to cause seborrheic dermatitis. These factors may include the yeast that normally lives on our skin, our genes, living in a cold and dry climate, stress, and a person's overall health.
By studying seborrheic dermatitis, researchers have learned the following:
People of all colors and ages get seborrheic dermatitis. You have a higher risk if any of the following apply to you.
People in these two age groups are most susceptible:
Your risk increases if you have any of these medical conditions:
If you are taking any of the following medicines, your risk for seborrheic dermatitis increases:
Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition that dermatologists frequently diagnose and treat.
If you think you might have seborrheic dermatitis, you should see a dermatologist for a diagnosis. This common skin condition can look like psoriasis, eczema, or an allergic reaction. Each of these skin diseases requires different treatment.
A dermatologist diagnoses seborrheic dermatitis by:
Sometimes seborrheic dermatitis is a sign of an underlying medical condition. If your dermatologist suspects this, medical tests may be necessary.
Although treatment cannot cure seborrheic dermatitis, treatment has benefits. Treatment can loosen and remove scale, prevent a skin infection, and reduce swelling and itch.
The type of treatment a dermatologist prescribes varies with age and where the seborrheic dermatitis appears on the skin.
Infants (scalp): Called cradle cap, this tends to completely disappear without treatment. If treatment is necessary, a dermatologist may recommend:
Infants (skin beyond the scalp): This, too, will clear. If treatment is needed, a dermatologist may prescribe a medicine that can be applied to the child's skin.
Adolescents and adults (scalp and rest of body): After infancy, seborrheic dermatitis usually does not go away without treatment. For the best results, a dermatologist will consider many factors before creating a treatment plan. Treatment may include:
Dandruff shampoos can be helpful on the skin as well as the scalp. Your dermatologist can explain how to use these shampoos on the skin.
Often the best results come from combining two or more treatments. Your dermatologist can create a treatment plan to meet your needs. Most plans include medication and skin care.
Always follow your dermatologist's instructions. Using a treatment more often than prescribed or longer than prescribed can cause side effects.
Infant: Seborrheic dermatitis often completely disappears by 6 months to 1 year of age. It can return when the child reaches puberty.
Adolescent or adult: A few people see seborrheic dermatitis clear without treatment. More often, seborrheic dermatitis lasts for years. It tends to clear and flare without warning. Treatment often is necessary to control it.
Dermatologists recommend the following to help keep seborrheic dermatitis under control.
Many babies develop this rash on their scalps. Cradle cap normally goes away by 6 to 12 months of age. Until the rash disappears, the following can help:
What you need
If your baby may have seborrheic dermatitis in the diaper area or elsewhere, it is best to see a dermatologist for a diagnosis. This common rash can look a lot like eczema, psoriasis, or an allergic reaction. Each of these conditions requires a different treatment plan.
On the scalp, many people can get relief by a dandruff shampoos.
When using a dandruff shampoo, always read and follow the directions on the bottle. Some shampoos you need to leave on scalp for a few minutes.
What you need
If you are African American, follow the plan for African American hair, shown below. Directions
As the seborrheic dermatitis lessens, you can decrease how often you use the dandruff shampoo, using it only 1 or 2 times a week.
Trying a dandruff shampoo with a different active ingredient may help. The active ingredients in dandruff shampoos are:
What you need Dandruff shampoo (See a dermatologist for a product recommendation.)
Directions Shampoo once a week using the dandruff shampoo
Petroleum jelly is NOT recommended if you have seborrheic dermatitis. Using it tends to worsen seborrheic dermatitis. Directions Dermatologists recommend the following to remove scale from your skin: Wash your skin daily, as follows:
If you need more help softening the scale, apply a scale-softening cream that contains salicylic acid and sulfur or coal tar. When using these, follow the instructions on the product.
Seborrheic dermatitis can be stubborn. If these tips fail to bring relief, you should see a dermatologist. Some people need the expertise of a dermatologist to control seborrheic dermatitis.

Where Can a Teacher Afford to Buy a Home?
A combination of rising home prices and higher interest rates has slowed the real estate market and priced some buyers out. How has this affected middle-class buyers? Redfin, the national real estate brokerage, phrases the question this way: Where can a teacher buy a home?
The answer is a lot of places – just stay away from the coasts.
San Jose, in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, is the worst place for a teacher to buy a home, according to Redfin. There, only 1% of homes are affordable, which in this case means a median-earning teacher wouldn't have to spend more than 28% of their pre-tax income on their monthly mortgage, taxes and insurance payment.
San Jose teachers are fairly well-paid, with a median salary of $71,000. But home prices are off the charts. A teacher making the median salary would max out their mortgage payment at $250,000, but the median home price is around $750,000 in the area.
The same problem exists throughout coastal California. Half of the top 10 least affordable places for teachers are in the Golden State, according to Redfin. Four are in Colorado and the other is Austin Texas.
In some cities the run-up in prices has been particularly hard on teachers. Take Sacramento, where the share of properties that would be affordable to teachers has fallen in half – from 61% three years ago to 27% today.
Of course, as we've pointed out before, homes are very affordable in most places. And so it is for teachers. In Rockford, Ill., for instance, teachers could afford about 75% of area homes.
Redfin ran teacher affordability numbers for all of the markets the brokerage serves. Here are the results, in a sortable chart.

When it comes to original programming, Cinemax may be leagues behind corporate sibling HBO. However, while the latter may has a long history delivering hits like current like current flagship series Game of Thrones, the former looks like it might be catching up.
Back in 2011, Cinemax earned its best ratings in years with the premiere of UK action series Strike Back. That show was the first sign that the network was on the verge of becoming a major player in original programming, and since then, the 2013 premiere of Banshee has cemented that fact. Now comes news indicating that Banshee may be Cinemax's signature hit.
According to Deadline, Cinemax has renewed Banshee for season 3, despite the fact that the show is only a few episodes into its second season. On the show, Anthony Starr plays an ex-con who assumes the identity as sheriff of a small Amish town; Ivana Miličević and Ulrich Thomsen star as his former lover and the local crime kingpin, respectively. The series was created by David Schickler and novelist Jonathan Tropper, with Alan Ball (True Blood) among its producers.
The show's early renewal is a bold move on the part of Cinemax and one that demonstrates a tremendous amount of faith in its long-term prospects. After all, the only major original series that the network has on the air is the aforementioned Strike Back (which was also recently renewed for its final season). The fact that Banshee has managed to develop a consistent viewership – without any name stars or connections of pre-existing properties (even Game of Thrones has the popularity of the book series behind it) – could be reason enough for Cinemax to let the show bloom.
The network already has about a half-dozen other action-centric shows in various stages of development and is likely hoping that the success of Banshee can help bolster the chances of success with those upcoming projects, a strategy that could very well pay off in the near future. However, that all depends on whether Banshee can stand the test of time and prove that Cinemax is a worthy destination for quality original shows. If Banshee is any indication, the answer may be a resounding "yes."
Are you looking forward to another season of Banshee, or is the series already running out of steam? Let us know in the comments section below.
Banshee airs Fridays at 10pm on Cinemax.

This recipe is adapted from the Ball® Complete Book of Home Preservation. I love this book! I have been canning a lot lately - rather obsessively, actually - and it has been a pleasure to work my way through its pages.
This time of year is always marked by a bevy of stone fruit, and this recipe is a great way to preserve some of it for for another season. I like this recipe a lot because it has all the yumminess of salsa without tomatoes. As a tomato-avoiding person, I was darn excited to see this. I have made the recipe twice, and each time it has turned out great. The first time I prepared it as written in the book, and the second time I prepared it with a few tweaks of my own and doubled the recipe. I have a lot of peach salsa in my canning cupboard right now, it's kind of ridiculous.
I know it is delicious because one of my jars was a dud and it didn't seal properly, so I had to eat it up. And boy, is it good! Whether you avoid tomatoes or not, I think you'll love it. The salsa is also very good fresh, so feel free to reserve some to eat right away and can the rest.
Tomato-Free Peach Salsa
yield 8 pint jars or 16 8-oz jars
Adapted from Ball® Complete Book of Home Preservation
This recipe makes a big batch - I tend to think that if you're going to the trouble of canning, you might as well make enough to have extra jars to give away to friends (or to hoard for yourself to enjoy during the cold winter months). But if you prefer, feel free to halve the recipe for a smaller batch.
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar or white distilled vinegar (5% acidity)
- 12 cups chopped, pitted peeled peaches **
- 3 cups chopped red onion
- 7 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
- 2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup loosely packed finely chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 large cloves peeled garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp whole cumin seeds, lightly toasted
Prepare canner, jars, and lids. Prepare boiling water canner by filling with enough water to cover jars by 1-2 inches. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Wash jars and lids with hot, soapy water, and place in a bowl of hot water (NOT boiling) until you are ready to fill them. I often like to fill a teapot with water and bring to a boil, just in case I find I need more water for my canner once I fill with jars.
Prepare ingredients as directed in ingredients list above.
In a large, tall stainless steel pot, combine vinegar and peaches. (TIP: To keep peaches from browning, add them to the pan as you chop and measure.) Add onion, jalapeño, bell pepper, honey, garlic, coriander, and toasted cumin seeds. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Add cilantro and reduce heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, above 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Ladle hot salsa into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding more hot salsa. Wipe rims clean with a damp, clean cloth. Center lid on jar, then screw band down until resistance is met then increase to fingertip-tight.
Lower jars into boiling water canner, making sure that jars are covered by 1-2 inches of water. Add more boiling water as necessary, and cover with lid. Once water has returning to a rolling boil, start timing and process 15 minutes for elevations up to 1,000 feet above sea level (increase 5 minutes for every additional 1,000 feet of elevation). In Minneapolis, I process for 15 minutes - our elevation is approximately 850 feet above sea level.
Once time is up, shut off heat, let sit in canner for 5 minutes, and transfer jars to a double thickness of towel placed 1-inch apart. Do not tip jars or wipe dry - water will evaporate.
Let sit undisturbed for 12-24 hours, away from drafts. Then check seals - the tops of the jars should dip in the middle, and not bounce back when you press down with your fingers. If jars are well-sealed, wipe them clean, label, and store in a cool, dark place. Consume with in 1 year. Jars that did not seal should be refrigerated and contents consumed. Eat within a week or so.
** Choose slightly firm peaches so your salsa isn't too mushy. To peel, wash the peaches well and lightly slash an "x" in the bottom of the peach. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add peaches, then boil for 1 minute. Remove from pot and place peaches in a bowl of very cold ice water. After a minute or two, remove peach from bowl of ice water and slip off the skin. And thus, your peach is peeled!

Seoul Seocho-gu, South Korea, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants.
If you want to help fight the grisly South Korean dog and cat meat trade and make a difference in South Korea, here are a few quick actions you can take that could save millions of dogs and cats each year.
In Seoul Seocho-gu, there are countless markets and restaurants, where there are dogs suffering, they are tortured their entire lives and slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging or beating; and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive, the meat is then sold to consumers. Many of these dogs are abandoned and stolen former pets, and they end up in the dog meat industry, these dogs are subjected to the same cruelty.
Video: The Dog Meat Professionals: South Korea
Video: South Korea's horrific dog slaughter. Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE)
A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Seoul Seocho-gu's dog meat demand.
Two search results on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – the first one was for so-called "Health Food Shops" which commonly sell dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju); and the second one was for "dog meat restaurants": 75 Health Food Shops; and 45 dog meat restaurants in and around Seoul Seocho-gu.
Even if half of these 'Health' Food Shops and restaurants serve dog and cat 'ingredients' in one form or another, just imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be present in and around Seoul Seocho-gu in order to supply all of these outlets.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

Subject: Seoul Seocho-gu, South Korea, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants.
Petition: https://www.change.org/p/seoul-seocho-gu-district-mayor-cho-eun-hee-seoul-seocho-gu-korea-shut-down-the-illegal-dog-meat-farms-markets-and-restaurants
Dear District Mayor Cho Eun-Hee and the Seoul Seocho-gu Council members,
We ask that you please watch this: "The Dog Meat Professionals: South Korea" https://youtu.be/cCdTceduKcY.
We ask you to take immediate action to crack down on the illegal dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants that serve dog meat in your district. We request that an official document be issued, mandating that the following existing Korean laws be enforced by its government officials, police and judges:
Unauthorized processing of food waste fed to dogs in the meat trade is a violation of the Wastes Control Act, Article 15-2, Article 25, Section 3. Suppliers of food waste and transporters of food waste to dog meat farms are violating this regulation.
Food waste fed to dogs in the dog meat trade is a violation of the Control of Livestock and Fish Feed Act, Article 14, Section 1 & 2. Unauthorized collection of food waste and the act of feeding it to dogs in the meat trade is in violation of this regulation.
Excrement and resulting environmental damage produced as a by-product of the illegal dog meat farm is a violation of the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta Article 11. The excrement produced at dog meat farms causes environmental damage to the immediate and surrounding area.
The act of the slaughtering of dogs for human consumption is a violation of the Animal Protection Act Article 8, Section 1, Clause 4. The act of the slaughtering of a dog, without justifiable ground – such as out of necessity for veterinary treatment, or in circumstances of immediate threat, harm or damage to human life or property, is a violation.
The slaughter of dogs by electrocution is a violation of the Animal Protection Act, Article 8, Section 1, Clause 1. Inflicting injury or death to any animal by the following means: battery by tools, exposure to drugs, exposure to extreme heat or fire, electrocution and drowning is subject to legal punishment. Therefore, the routine slaughter of dogs by butchers and farmers by these methods is in violation of the Act. Further, electrocution as a method of slaughter is internationally recognized as an inherently cruel method of slaughter and banned globally.
The slaughter of dogs from an unauthorized slaughterhouse is a violation of Livestock Products Sanitary Control Act, Article 7 Section 1. The Livestock Products Sanitary Control Act, states that dogs are officially recognized and classified as "animals" that are "prohibited from being slaughtered and distributed as food for human consumption". Therefore, those vendors operating dog slaughterhouses are operating outside of the parameters of the law and in violation of the law.
The slaughter of dogs for his/her own consumption is a violation of the Animal Protection Act, Article 10. The intent of the Act is to ensure that no animal is slaughtered in a cruel or revolting manner, and shall be free from unnecessary pain, fear, or stress during the process of slaughter. Therefore, the only humane way of slaughtering dogs would be by euthanasia (lethal injection). All currently practiced methods of slaughter by butchers, farmers and traders excludes euthanasia as a method of slaughter, therefore they are all in breach of this Act. This is also a violation of the Livestock Products Sanitary Control Act Article 7 Section 1 Clause 2.
According to the Livestock Products Sanitary Control Act, the slaughter of animals for his/her own consumption is allowed only for the livestock animals that are publically announced as classification of livestock in the Livestock Products Sanitary Control Act and dogs are not classified here.
The display and sale of dog carcasses in traditional outdoor markets is a violation of the Food Sanitation Act, Article 4, 5. Violation of laws banning the sale of harmful food due to the contamination from unsanitary and illegal slaughter of the animal and display of the dog carcass. For example, dog carcasses are routinely contaminated by microorganisms that cause human diseases and food poisoning; this can lead to serious and life threatening health complications. There are also strict laws that ban the sale of meat from sick animals, due to the fact that there is no quality control or formal monitoring of slaughter practices in the dog meat trade it is very likely that violation of these laws is happening routinely.
Dog meat restaurants' sale of dog meat soup made with dog carcasses from an unknown source is a violation of Food Sanitation Act Article 44 Section 1 Clause 1. Uninspected livestock products must not be transported, stored, displayed, sold or used for manufacturing or processing of food for human consumption.
Please refer to the legal information regarding the dog meat consumption in South Korea published by KARA (Korea Animal Rights Advocates): https://www.ekara.org/activity/against/read/7537 https://koreandogs.org/kara-publishes-legal-information-booklet-ending-dog-meat-consumption/
The United States House of Representatives has formally passed H.Res. 401, "Calls for an end to the dog and cat meat industry and urges all nations to outlaw the dog and cat meat trade." (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-resolution/401)
International coverage of the brutal dog and cat meat trade in South Korea has stained your district's image. An online petition calling for your immediate action to end the horrendous South Korean dog and cat meat cruelty is in progress: https://www.change.org/p/seoul-seocho-gu-district-mayor-cho-eun-hee-seoul-seocho-gu-korea-shut-down-the-illegal-dog-meat-farms-markets-and-restaurants

Despite the fact that EMCOR Group's annual injury rate is already 50% less than OSHA's published rates for construction and facilities services companies, the Norwalk-Conn.-based contractor giant is striving for more, says Frank T. MacInnis, EMCOR's chairman and CEO. In fact, since 2002, the company has achieved a 46% reduction in the company's total recordable incident rate (TRIR), and decreased recordable injuries by 28%. Although upper management expects labor hours to increase by 12% this year, EMCOR projects a 60% reduction in lost and restricted duty time in 2006 as compared to 2003.
These achievements are the result of a new safety program introduced to the company's 26,000 employees in 2003. Dubbed the "Zero Accident Program," or ZAP, the new safety approach focuses on nine elements determined by the Construction Industry Institute to be important for achieving accident reduction and sets the lofty goal of zero accidents per year company wide.
"Instead of setting goals to injure people, which is what most organizations do — they set a target and say, 'We will only have four accidents a year or 10 accidents a year' — we decided to set a goal of zero accidents," says David M. Copley, vice president of safety and quality management at EMCOR.
Combining the strategies of visitation, communication, and education across the company's 70 subsidiaries, ZAP involves visits by safety and quality management professionals targeting all levels of the organization and focuses on safety compliance and performance. It also includes a "Productivity Plus Road Show" that focuses on the business case for safety, the important correlation between productivity and safety, and why productivity is the key to great safety, quality, customer satisfaction, and improved margins.
"All those things that you need to be productive are also all the same things that you need to be safe — knowledgeable workers with the right tools and equipment and supervised to the right level in a safe working environment," says Copley, offering these tips on how to improve safety and productivity:
Pre-planning is essential Preplan for each job, as well as tasks that occur because of changes or rework. Ensure supervisors fully understand the important role they play in pre-planning and accident prevention.
Motion is money Set up work areas in ways that minimize the amount of movement required by employees. Remember that every bend or step that can be eliminated reduces risk, decreases fatigue, and increases productivity.
Think innovation Take the time to research what is new or what has been improved. Look for ways to eliminate risk by changing the way that people work. Compliance is important, but it is not the total solution.

You might have noticed that I've been making a lot of different salads lately. Well this trend is here to stay for at least a bit longer because I am absolutely loving the colours and the flavours of these salads! I'm a huge fan of cheese, and haloumi (along with feta cheese) is one of my all time favourites. Pumpkin is just gorgeous in salads, and instead of roasting you can just slice them up really thinly and place them on the grill for a few minutes. So tasty!
I usually find the rocket (arugula) a bit too peppery, but it really compliments the flavours in this salad and is beautiful with the salty haloumi and the mustard dressing. Pine nuts, seeds or other nuts are almost a must addition to every salad as they provide the lovely crunch and some extra protein.
(Recipe adapted from the Australian Good Food Magazine)
500g pumpkin, peeled, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
270g haloumi, cut into slices
a few big handfuls of rocket
40g pine nuts, toasted
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp olive oil

This is an excerpt from Sport and Character: Reclaiming the Principles of Sportsmanship by Craig Clifford and Randolph Feezell.
Just as players, by the very nature of competition, must respect the authority of officials, they must respect the authority of their coach. Authority is the legitimate use of power over others. The abuse of that power sometimes tempts us to believe that all authority is a bad thing, and that we should seek coach–player, teacher–student, and parent–child relationships that are free of authority. The truth is, if you're a coach, you have authority over your players. It can be shaped and developed in different ways, but it can't be avoided. For a coach, just as for a teacher or parent, to renounce authority is to abdicate responsibility.
Part of the authority of a coach comes from the nature of sport. In a team sport especially, many of the decisions, by the very nature of the game, must be made on behalf of the team by a coach. If you've ever played in a basketball league on a team without a coach, you know the advantage of having a coach decide who goes in the game and when, what defense to play, or who should take the last shot in a close game. Ten or fifteen people can't make split-second decisions of that nature—they all want to be in the game or they wouldn't be there, and they all were hall-of-fame coaches in a previous life. In that sense, a coach is an integral part of a team effort. The authority of the coach to make decisions on behalf of the whole team is greater than that of any of the players, but the coach's authority derives from the nature of a team effort.
But the authority of a scholastic coach, and therefore the responsibility, is far greater. Whatever the entertainment and financial value of school athletics, there can be only one justification for schools fielding athletic teams—the educational value of participating on those teams for the students. Scholastic coaches are first and foremost educators, teachers of young people. They must understand the place of sport within an academic setting—and that means more than merely keeping sport from interfering with academics. It means that sport ought to contribute to the educational goals of the school. If coaches are often granted greater authority over young people's lives and greater autonomy in their work than other teachers (a discrepancy that probably bears some serious rethinking), that should mean not that winning football games is more important than learning geometry, but that coaches have a greater responsibility to broadly influence the lives of students. Simply put, more authority, more responsibility. As we discussed in part I, teachers of all kinds are moral educators, whether they acknowledge it or not, but there's certainly no getting around it for coaches.

I don't know about you, but we are more than excited. As you can see, the boys and I have our formal attire on for the event. We feel so honored to have been asked to be part of The Red Carpet Cat Walk Blog Tour.... So here we are to tell you all about what's been happening this week.
|Gracey on the Red Carpet
|Of course, This is Jackson Galaxy
|And here she is with Tyler P. Scott
|Here's a picture of the bag... Cool, eh?
So that about sums it up. We're having a party today and tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll give a little update on how the Awards go tonight. Then I'll announce the winner of the give-away on Tuesday... So be sure to leave a comment to be entered for the prize.
Before I sign off for today, let me thank Gracey and Joanne McGonagle at The Tiniest Tiger for all they have done to make this possible. And, I also want to commend them on all they do for cats around the world... Here's just a taste of what they do...
McGonagle spent last summer living among lions and the Maasai in Kenya as part of a
Global Field Master of Zoology program. Her blog, The Tiniest Tiger, has raised over
$30,000 to help both domestic and big cats programs. Proceeds from the sale of The
Tiniest Tiger Hipster Bag benefits global conservation programs, with Lion Guardians
getting the lion's share (http://livingwithlions.org/lion-guardians.html).
Pawsome, right!!!?
Have a great time Everybuddy and thanks for coming by.
Monday Morning Update...Did you watch the show last night?

To use JDBC features, you must choose a JDBC driver to work with the Application Server, then you must set up the driver. This section covers these topics:
Supported JDBC drivers are those that have been fully tested by Sun. For a list of the JDBC drivers currently supported by the Application Server, see the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Release Notes. For configurations of supported and other drivers, see Configurations for Specific JDBC Drivers.
Because the drivers and databases supported by the Application Server are constantly being updated, and because database vendors continue to upgrade their products, always check with Sun technical support for the latest database support information.
To integrate the JDBC driver into a Application Server domain, copy the JAR files into the domain-dir/lib/ext directory, then restart the server. This makes classes accessible to any application or module across the domain. For more information about Application Server classloaders, see Classloaders.

COLUMBUSA: A judge has sentenced a central Ohio man to three years in prison for being under the influence of prescription drugs when he caused a crash that killed a 5-year-old boy last year.
The judge in Columbus also suspended 32-year-old William Hill�s driver�s license for life after he pleaded guilty Monday to aggravated vehicular homicide in the Dec. 5 crash.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that Hill ran a red light in his pickup truck and hit a car with two children belted into safety seats in the back seat. The 5-year-old boy died at a hospital, and a 3-year-old girl survived.
A prosecutor said Hill was using five psychiatric medications to treat a traumatic brain injury he had suffered in a previous traffic crash.

Discussion in 'Football Forum' started by The Azzurri, Feb 25, 2009.
is distinctly average at best. He has no attacking attributes. Discuss.
Honestly, I rate Park and even his attacking attributes. He's got a very good footballing BRAIN and his chemistry with Rooney in particular is awesome, at least what I've noticed over his time here..
HOWEVER, his biggest biggest problem is, lacks pace and is too too light weight. And that's a major understatement. He cannot go passed his man for that very reason, he gets shrugged too easily or outpaced too easily..
His assists column season upon season would probably disagree somewhat.
Some people call em Average, I call them Fantastic squad players.
It's players like him and O'Shea that win you titles and put you in positions to be able to clean sweep all the titles going.
I totally agree with you there! It's player like him who is doing the running that compensates the lazier type in Berbatov, that we really need, to tire the opposite team, if not for other better reason. His willingness to run is fantastic, although he's not that quick in reacting near goal at times!
The OP is a bit too harsh on him!
His best attribute is his work rate and not skills or talent.
He's superb with all round abilities, good pace, balance and of course amazing work rate. Rate him very highly, but however for some reason, he became a spastic when he gets anywhere within 10 metres of the opposition's goal....
That's very wrong,I've seen park beat a player for pace many a time and He is not slow I'd say quite pacy it's only His final ball sometimes and composure that sometimes let's Him down but as player He is what we need when others around Him have more attacking ability but not the workrate.
I rate him, I think he is more useful than people think he is or than people rate him.
I definitely rate him of course. Perfect squad player who comes on and does more than a decent job if he needs to fill in, and very disciplined too. Never hear him complain about lack of opportunities, works hard...Works hard is an understatement, the amount of running and closing down he does is another level!
You are clueless man. If you cant see why he is picked ahead of Nani and what he brings to the team.
great squad player, he has an absurd work rate and is quite good with combination play. the only thing he lacks is a final ball
thought he and evra did an amazing job with maicon and zanetti
Except of course for SAF who plays him and Fletcher in nearly all the big games
He was poor today, and usually offers little while going forward but he's a good player to have in the squad. No winger of significantly better quality would settle for a back-up role at United, although he plays quite a lot so I'm not really sure he's a back-up.
Would be a fantastic player if he had some end product.
I rate Park very much, but vs Inter he did show his weaknesses, he lacks that goal scoring ability. His shooting is fairly woeful..
Park holds up the piano for Rooney, Ron, and Berbatov to play. Invaluable team player, keeps the balance in the team. We hardly lose when he plays cause he allows the team to have a good balance between attack and defence. Cf Nani : A more talented player but far poorer team player.
Excellent today tbf sholdve scored on ronnies cross today can't believe he only has 1 fgol this season though
He's having a bad day outmuscled today, nothing to see, let's move on.
Plus there's no Scholes/Anderson in the mid, Carrick and Fletch was meant to shield our back four, he got little option rather than going forward, and berba was not at his best as well.
Should he pass back to our defence, we'd be labelled shit on a stick
Most of all he adequates his squad to the rival and to what he thinks will do best for the team according to the circumstances and style.
The Inter players were huge, he had a tough time against them. I felt that for every useful thing he did (harrow someone, win the ball), he followed it up with something negative like a poor pass or getting knocked off the ball. I can definitely understand starting him after being rested the last match, but Tevez should have come on somewhere around the 75th minute mark.
Will be interesting to see if he starts again at OT. I think he should play against Spurs, having both Nani and Ronaldo on the pitch exposes us a fair bit.
Yeah the subs should have been on earlier especially Rooney
He has no composure, when he gets in those positions, he craps himself more often than not. But his other attributes makes him a great squad player.
some people are very harsh on Park and have absolutely no clue why SAF plays him
Well they can't all be Ronaldo's and Messi's. I wonder how exactly do you describe players like Gattuso, Sissoko, Salihamidzic and few others?
The fact that SAF played him in such a big game speaks volumes.Did well out there got a bit tired towards the end which is understandable.
No distinctly average player would be first choice to play nearly every big game for the English/European/World champions.
Might need to pack another lung in there somewhere
Type of player every teams needs. When things are not clicking it is the guys who run their asses off and work you into a game through grit and determination that keep you competitive.
Sometimes work ethic trumps technique.
I really like Park but didn't think last night was one of his best. Still, was decent. Always tidying up, always available, always covering. In hindsight, we probably didn't need to be as cautious in our line up and maybe we over estimated them in that we could've had more up top but not a bad result, nonetheless.
He had some good moves and runs here and there, but his passing was definitely poorer than it normally is. By his standards, relatively poor because he is usually pretty damn consistent.
Park was great at doing those things for which Fergie plays him. Don't expect from him to score or create, his functions are different, he gives us balance and makes it easier for the likes of Ronaldo and Berbatov to create and score.
People who undermine Park's ability and overall contribution to the team either haven't watched United for the last year and a half or you don't know anything about sports.
Next to Vidic and Evra, he has been our most consistent player this season.
Yea, his finishing is bad but anyone who thinks he isn't a good attacker is mad. He DOES beat his man quite often and has a great eye for a pass.
Not to mention his workrate and defensive abilities.
Unbelievablly stupid posters in this thread....
honestly, we don't win and they come crawling out
Now that Park's turning out to be our scapegoat is great, IMO.
Shows how strong our team is that two of our most consistent players this season are the scapegoats.
He can do much better than he did yesterday. But then again, will never be rated as a top winger, as he is not dangerous enough in the final third, he has other qualities though
FFS yet another bashing thread.
This forum should be avoided like the plague after a match.
Park is brilliant, love him to pieces.
He can be a bit frustrating at times in the final third but I still think he's a bloody good player for us.
Discuss what? the fact you're clearly talking out of your arse?
Park has become a key fixture in the team for the big games and this isn't down to him being distinctly average is it?
A consistent and productive player who in every single game he plays gives 100% - I have no worries at all when I see him in the starting 11.
The opinion of SAF>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The opinion of a trained chimp>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Azzurri
That boy parks developed some nice little turns to wriggle himself away from defenders this season. Seems to have upped his game, but still lacks that final ball in the last third a lot of the time, this is where the frustration with a lot of people comes in. I really rate the lad and think he's been a vital player for us this season. His 3 lungs give him that supernatural ability to run for pretty much ever, and I think last night was the only time I've ever seen him tire on a football pitch.
Separate names with a comma.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. It's your turn to identify the violation. Note: Submitted comments must include specific references from the 2011 NEC.
Hint: The odd couple
Find the Answer
I found this odd pairing in front of a midtown bowling alley and bistro. Several flexible cords were routed inside these sidewalk drains and used to energize receptacles serving cord connected lights on imitation trees. Of course, this type of installation does not meet installation requirements in the 2011 NEC.
Article 400 covers the general requirements, applications, and construction specifications for flexible cords and flexible cables. As noted in 400.7(A), flexible cords and cables shall be used only for the following
- "Pendants
- Wiring of luminaires
- Connection of portable luminaires, portable and mobile signs, or appliances
- Elevator cables
- Wiring of cranes and hoists
- Connection of utilization equipment to facilitate frequent interchange
- Prevention of the transmission of noise or vibration
- Appliances where the fastening means and mechanical connections are specifically designed to permit ready removal for maintenance and repair, and the appliance is intended or identified for flexible cord connection
- Connection of moving parts
- Where specifically permitted elsewhere in this Code"

Movies about show business start out with a tough handicap: Savant doesn't like 'em. The
more they try and tell it like it is, 'bout da biz, the worse they get. Postcards
from the Edge is pretty impressive. This was one of the crowning pictures of
Meryl Streep's decade-long run of solid hits, and she and Shirley MacLaine manage to portray
spoiled Hollywood women, and actually make us like them. Not that they'd
be any easier to live with..
Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) is a movie star with an out-of-control drug problem. She barely
finishes a film with director Lowell Korshack (Gene Hackman) before collapsing in an overdose, to
be rescued by Doctor Frankenthal (Richard Dreyfuss)'s trusty stomach pump. Returning to work,
Suzanne finds she can only be cleared by the insurance people if her mother, the grand star Doris
Mann (Shirley MacLaine) is directly responsible for her. A
grandstanding, jealous, competitive woman, Doris plagues Suzanne with love, constantly changing the
subject to herself and dispensing loaded advice and insinuating value judgements. Suzanne must
navigate the emotional minefield of her mother's 'concern,' while trying to overcome the stigma
her drug problem has given her on the set.
Postcards from the Edge is a deft and assured skewering of Hollywood clichés about
that shows Mike Nichols at his most self-assured best. He apparently encouraged actress
Carrie Fisher to write the screenplay from her novel. It's of course about Fisher's problem
of being under the shadow of a mother who happens to be a forceful and demanding star, but
the film is so entertaining, knowledge of this is totally unnecessary.
Many movies on Hollywood strive too hard to satirize the town, and end up being about nothing,
like dog chasing its tail. A good example of the film's subtlety is its opening shot, a parody of
one of those endless one-take moving masters that have become the mark of newbie directors who need
to proclaim, "I have a style." Instead of concentrating on broad comedy, Fisher and Nichols
zero in on the odd emotional vacuum that star magnetism creates around itself. Suzanne Vale
knows she's successful, knows
she should be grateful, knows she should be happy, but is incapable of enjoying much of anything.
She's riding the eye of the storm of celebrity. With the demands of an overbearing and
manipulative mother, well, drugs are a recreational way out. I said Nichols
and Fisher's portrait of Hollywood was subtle ... well, it's subtle and right-on too. Director
Korshack politely introduces his editors to Ms. Vale at a looping session, like the trusted, crucially
important collaborators they are ... and then dispatches them to get soft drinks like they were
gophers. That bit sums up an editor's 25 years of experience pretty darn accurately.
The 'cameo' performances benefit from Nichols' softening touch. Usually associated with farces,
Nichols makes Richard Dreyfuss look sincere (not easy), Hackman charming but volatile, and the
charming Rob Reiner
totally obnoxious. Newcomer Annette Bening has a hilarious scenelet, with the immortal word,
'endolphins.' Whatever. All the casting is excellent. Suzanne's grandparents are
an outrageously disruptive pair, just the kind of relatives we all deal with day after day:
impossible, killable, but
loveable too. The drug issues in Postcards from the Edge are made clear without
a lecture in sight. Witty drug humor abounds, such as the gauntlet of OD'd legends that Suzanne
passes while on a journey to a dreamland medicine cabinet.
Actually, the movie has a witty line or an elegant comedic turn every 20 seconds or so.
Avoiding becoming too heavy in the home stretch, Nichols ends the film on a high note with a
back-to-back pair of country songs belted out by Streep while filming a music video. It's
prepared for in the script, and Streep can certainly sing well, but the long songs seem to have
been tacked on. Streep is noted for her chameleonlike character assimilation talents,
and here she seems to have morphed into a country-western chanteuse just to show off for
the camera.
Columbia Tristar's DVD of Postcards from the Edge is their usual superior show. The
eleven-year old picture looks pristine, and the delicate sound work is intact. Enjoying this
one is not a problem. The disc includes trailers for two other films, but Savant didn't
find one for Postcards.
The DVD also has a special treat, a commentary from Carrie Fisher herself,
who conversationally cops to all kinds of naughty behavior. Originally Debbie Reynolds was
going to play 'herself'. There were also cut scenes with Jerry Orbach as the Father, and John
Cusack as a friend from rehab. Fisher is fun to listen to, and very open about her past
drug habits. After listening to her, you want to know what a conversation between her and
Brenda Vaccaro would sound like. Although Carrie's jokey-bitterness comes through, she's
quick to say that the mother character was exaggerated for the purposes of drama: Debbie
Reynolds never poured vodka into her breakfast or became a drunk driver.
On a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor,
Postcards from the Edge rates:
Movie: Very Good
Video: Excellent
Sound: Excellent
Supplements: Carrie Fisher commentary, production notes, trailers (but not for PostcardsPackaging: Keep case

Make the Impossible Possible in One Sentence
Remember the Straz Center in Your Will or Living Trust
What if all you had to do to ensure that the Straz Center can be successful for years to come is to write a simple sentence? Sound impossible?

Including the Straz Center in your will is a popular gift to give because it is:

- Versatile. You can give a specific item, a set amount of money or a percentage of your estate. You can also make your gift contingent upon certain events.
How a Gift in Your Will Works
Your estate planning attorney can help you structure a gift so your loved ones will be taken care of first after you're gone.

DI Women?s Basketball Player of the Week ? No. 6
KANSAS CITY, Mo - Tugce Canitez of Westmont (Calif.) has been named the NAIA National Division I Women's Basketball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Canitez, who is receiving this award for the third time this season, was selected based on her performances from Feb. 4 - 10 and was chosen out of a poll of conference/unaffiliated group winners.
Canitez, a native of Izmir, Turkey, recorded her 13th and 14th double-doubles of the season to guide the Warriors to a 2-0 week that included a 70-58 victory against then-No. 3 Vanguard (Calif.). The senior forward averaged 25 points on 51.4 percent (19-of-37) shooting from the field and a 70.6 percent (12-of-17) success rate at the charity stripe. She also averaged 18 rebounds and two assists per game for the week.
Canitez converted 9-of-15 attempts and was 4-for-5 from the free throw line en route to a team-high 22 points, as Westmont completed the regular-season series sweep of Vanguard on Feb. 4. She also grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds, including five offensive boards. At Hope International (Calif.) on Feb. 9, Canitez posted her second 20-20 performance of the season with 28 points and a career-high 22 rebounds.
On the season, Canitez ranks second in the nation in scoring per game (21.0) and sixth in total rebounds per game (12.1). Her 14 double-doubles is eighth in the NAIA. She is the first individual to claim the national player of the week honor three times in a single season since Campbellsville's Whitney Ballinger accomplished the feat during the 2009-10 season.

What set of books would you recommend to study for the GCIA certification without buying official study material?
Also, please tell whether your suggestions are based on having completed GCIA certification yourself, or if they are based on other experience such as work as an analyst or knowledge of the GCIA requirements.
I am new to IT Security, but I have done some network courses (OSI model, Ethernet spec, TCP-IP stack basics, etc.), and am a C# programmer.
I believe GIAC offers a way to only take the exam instead of buying thousands of dollars worth of study material, hence my interest in your suggestions.

I'm not going to give my usual apology for irregular updates or any empty promises to stay on top of things like usual. This is for two reasons: 1) I always say those things and never follow through, and 2) I'm going to have even less opportunity than before to do regular updates between now and June 2012 because I've just started a Primary PGCE and Hoo-Boy, is it going to be intense.
Instead, here's a massive information dump to read at your leisure. If anyone out there still follows my work, they may have noticed a big change to my main website. You might notice it isn't as fancy pants, but has been streamlined into a sleek little set of pages that a HTML dunce like me can manage without help from computer geniuses. That means more regular updates, more frequent page errors and generally more STUFF. What's more, you can view this blog as part of the site, so why not bookmark it? Why not, huh?
You may also remember me talking about some collaboration with the heathen known as Phillip M Buchan. Well, aside from the four page strip mentioned before, I've also done two one-pagers with Bucky that have landed in the sweet UK horror magazine Scream. One is about the grim reaper and being a drunk, and the other is about a teenage werewolf and being drunk. Thematic stuff, previews of which can be seen below.
I've also been chipping away at the third issue of The Big Bang and make a solemn promise to have printed versions at this year's Thought Bubble. Finally, I just finished designing a poster/flyer design for the forthcoming Jeffrey Lewis gig here in Newcastle. I was a little pushed for time, but skimped on no details when it came to drawing the guitar composed 90% of stickers, for which Jeff is so famously known (to creeps like me). Behold!
In other news, my good ol' buddy bud Andy Waugh has just launched a website, and I know for a fact that our two websites bookmarked side by side on your browser will be an incredible and beautiful sight to behold.

2 ways for the church to care for and correct their pastor./
Normally I wouldn't post a sermon I have preached on my blog. In fact there are a ton of reasons not to. I get that I a not the most compelling speaker, I am slightly below average in looks, and in this case I was a bit nervous because of the topic so I spoke a little bit too fast. I also get that you are a fabulous preacher and I am opening up myself to be seen as less than in your eyes. But these are silly and vain reasons and I am all about the spiritual growth to combat these childish tendencies. Plus, the more I have been reflecting on this passage of in 1 Timothy, my church context, and my friends in ministry whom I would love to speak up for, I thought I would give it a whirl.
The relationship between the church and the pastor is a mysterious one at best. It always starts with such high hopes and expectations, and often devolves into disenchantment, bitterness, and pain. But if the church does these 2 things well, I think we as pastors will thrive a bit more.
Spoiler alert: one of those points is paying us well. I mean really well :)
We will be back to our regular 500-800 word pithy and wise posts on Monday. Have a great weekend!

By CAITLIN JOHNSTON
ATLANTIC CITY, Md.—Every morning, Donald Alcorn misses Michigan.
He misses his house and the quiet. He misses fishing. He misses the life he had before his daughter asked him to move to Maryland so she could better look after him in his old age.
Most of all, he misses the peace. Life is cluttered here. Fish-filled streams and country are replaced by the noise of bickering family. There are fewer places to hide.
Which is why, one Thursday every month, Alcorn boards a bus with about two-dozen other retirees and rides three hours to Atlantic City.
Once there, he makes his way through the garland-covered walkway into Trump Plaza. He walks past the blinking lights and whirring machines, past the cocktail waitresses with full trays, even though its barely noon.
Halfway through the casino floor, he sits down at a Lucky Lemmings slot machine, one of his favorites.
As he presses the spin button, all those concerns of home and the yearning for Michigan begin to fade away. For the first time that week, his mind starts to clear.
Casino proponents in Maryland rejoiced when Novembers referendum passed, saying it would keep gambling money in state. And though bus tours to Atlantic City have seen a decline since Maryland Live! and other casinos opened, some gamblers say it doesnt matter how many casinos Maryland builds or how many table games it adds.
These trips to Atlantic City are less about the bets and more about the escape.
The bus rides themselves are what youd imagine - about 20 senior citizens and retirees spaced throughout the plush, blue patterned seats.
Usually theres a movie playing, but on a recent trip, Ernie Baylor, the bus driver, announced that one of the discs was scratched, so theyd save the remaining film for the ride back.
Without the noise of a movie, its a quiet ride. The women sit with their purses on their laps. Some stare out the window. Some doze off. A couple of women chatter about getting their nails done and how much they tip for eyebrow waxing.
Sisters Fran Brooks and Johnette Cates dont like gambling in Maryland.
They dont give anything to you for free, Brooks, 66, said. Not even the drinks.
In Atlantic City, the sisters get all sorts of things comped: hotel rooms, buffets, tickets to shows and those delicious pina coladas at Caesars.
And theres more to do besides gamble. Shopping, shows, walking the boardwalk. Casinos in Maryland just cant compete, Brooks said.
And the payout in Maryland sucks, Cates said.
So, instead, they take a bus to Atlantic City every few months and enjoy the perks. This trip, they have a comped night at Ceasars and a free buffet.
They dont mind the bus ride up, either. Its a nice ride, especially when the leaves still have a little color left in them. And the ticket, which costs $35, is basically free. Casinos, such as Trump Plaza, give riders $30 in slot money and $5 in food.
But theyve noticed a change in the bus rides. The sisters, who have taken these trips for several years, said the buses used to be packed. Now, its not even half full. And thats after two companies consolidated.
Instead of helping business, it just added more stops to the trip, which means longer rides to get to the casinos. Still, the sisters have no interest in changing their gambling destination from Atlantic City to Maryland.
More than anything, its nice to get away, Brooks said. Maryland, they dont do anything for you. They dont make it worth your time. Here, everythings free. And its a break from everything back home.
Its several hours later and Donald Alcorn is still gambling with the initial money he started with. Better than that, hes up $100.
Alcorn allocates $200 to gamble with each trip. Once he blows through that on slots some days faster than others hes done gambling.
Since the bus doesnt leave to go back to Maryland until 6 p.m., he sometimes has to find other ways to fill the time. His favorite is walking the boardwalk.
Thats another reason he doesnt like going to casinos in Maryland. All there is to do is gamble, which is fine for the addicts, he says, but not for people such as himself who are looking for entertainment.
People want a dual purpose, Alcorn said.
At the end of the day, after six hours of gambling, three pina coladas, and a couple full plates of food at the buffet, Alcorn had won more than $110. He stopped by the Starbucks on the way out and used his $5 food voucher on a couple bags of mixed nuts.
Its a good trip, as far as Im concerned. A wonderful trip, Alcorn said, walking toward the bus to go home. And Ill get home in time to watch Jay Leno.

The earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 devastated the country and left many children orphans. Price is proud to be a part of the U.S. Green Building Council's project to build Haiti's first LEED Orphanage & Children's Center.
Price's Winder, Georgia Plant Manager, Steve Bittle, has had two opportunities to travel to Haiti since the earthquake. In the video below, he talks about his experiences and what Project Haiti means for the orphaned children in Haiti.
