PLEASE REVIEW THIS END USER SERVICES AGREEMENT (THIS "AGREEMENT") AS IT is A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU ( "CUSTOMER") AND TORCHLITE ("TORCHLITE" OR "WE") WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF TORCHLITE'S ON DEMAND SOFTWARE AND SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS (THE "SERVICES"). BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY EACH OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THE SERVICES.
- Services. The Services assist customers to distribute electronically customer-created and approved, (Torchlite may assist the customer) content to customers' lists of subscribers, each of whom must have consented previously to the receipt of such content ("Recipients"). While Customer retains Torchlite to assist with the formatting, content, and transmittal to its Recipients, Customer acknowledges that Torchlite only sends Customer content to Recipients on Customer's behalf. The Services comprise primarily of a web-based technology platform through which such content is delivered once Customer sends such content. Among other things, Torchlite provides customer support and formatting assistance for the electronic content Customer desires to distribute. In all cases, Torchlite simply acts as agent for Customer with its authorization. Customer agrees that the Services are used only for Customer's business purposes. If Customer does not intend to use the Services for business purposes, Customer must contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Site and Policies. During the Term (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any guidelines, rules or operating policies that Torchlite may establish and post from time to time on Torchlite.com (the "Site"), including, without limitation, Torchlite's anti-spam policy, privacy policy and prohibited content and commerce statement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the "Policies"). Torchlite agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with the Services. From time to time, Torchlite may modify the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and/or in the Policies. All such changes shall become effective once posted on the Site, and Customer's use of the Services thereafter shall be subject thereto. In the event of any conflict between any term or condition set forth in this Agreement and in a Policy, the former shall govern. Customer agrees that its purchase of the Services is neither contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features, nor is it dependent upon any oral or written comments made by Torchlite with respect to future functionality or features.
- Professional Services. In addition to the Services, Customer may purchase premium CUSTOM services by making its selection therefor in accordance with the instructions posted at Torchlite.com (the "Essential or Premium Services"), which Professional Services may be customized pursuant to a mutually agreed upon written statement of work provided to Customer upon the earlier of its request or its selection of desired Professional Services (each, a "Statement of Work"). The Professional Services are provided by Torchlite separate and distinct from the Services and are not required for Customer's use or enjoyment of the Services. In the event of any conflict between any term or condition set forth in this Agreement and in a Statement of Work, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in such Statement of Work. Any Statement of Work may be modified or amended only with the written consent of each of Torchlite and Customer.
- Purchase. Pricing for the Services is based upon the subscriber level Customer chooses to purchase as indicated on the landing page through which Customer subscribes to use the Service or in a negotiated sales order, (Custom Service Level). The Sales Order records Customer's subscriber level, term, subscription fee, payment method, and other account information. The total number of emails per month that may be sent by Customer is unlimited, nevertheless Torchlite reserves the right to change from unlimited emails per customer to what it considers a reasonable limit, and/or to charge for emails beyond what it considers reasonable and normally sent by its customers. Torchlite reserves the right to be completely subjective in this determination.
- Fees and Payment. In consideration for the Services to be provided by Torchlite, Customer agrees to pay the monthly subscription fees set forth in the Sales Order (the "Subscription Fees"). Paid Subscription Fees are non-refundable. Customer acknowledges that from time to time, delivery of email messages sent using the Services may be blocked or prevented at destination email servers. Customer's payment obligation set forth herein continues regardless of whether delivery of such email messages is prevented or blocked. In consideration for the Professional Services to be provided by Torchlite, if any, Customer agrees to pay the fees posted at www.Torchlite.com set forth in the Statement of Work or as otherwise provided to Customer by Torchlite, (the "Professional Fees," together with the Subscription Fees, the "Fees"). All Fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Unless collected and remitted by Torchlite, Customer is responsible for payment of all taxes due to a governmental authority, if any, except for taxes imposed on Torchlite's net income. Customer shall provide to Torchlite any certificate of exemption or similar document required to exempt any transaction under this Agreement from sales tax or other tax liability. Payments for Fees and reimbursements for expenses, if any, will be billed monthly and will be due immediately upon receipt of invoice; or may be pre-paid in advance; or otherwise may be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in the Sales Order. If Customer is paying for the Services with a credit card, Customer hereby authorizes Torchlite to charge such credit card for Fees on a regular basis until such time as Customer's account is terminated. If Customer is paying for the Services by credit card and such credit card is declined, Torchlite will send Customer notice thereof to Customer's email address on record. If Customer misses a payment, Torchlite may notify Customer by phone or mail, but has no obligation to do so. Any payment due and not received by Torchlite by the due date may be subject, at Torchlite's sole discretion, to a late fee equal to 1.5% (or the maximum rate permitted by law) of the amount then due, for each month overdue until paid in full. In the event Customer fails to make timely payments when due, Torchlite may, at its election, discontinue, terminate or suspend the Services, without incurring any liability to Customer. Despite any such discontinuation or suspension, Customer acknowledges and agrees that it will be required to pay the Fees until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the termination provisions set forth herein. For amounts outstanding after ninety (90) days from its receipt of the invoice therefor, Customer shall be responsible for and agrees to pay reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, but not limited to, court and attorneys' fees and expenses. From time to time, and at any time, Torchlite may require reasonable credit guarantees before continuing its provision of the Services or the Professional Services hereunder Customer's Recipient Data. In offering the Services, we may collect personal information about Recipients. Torchlite will not own any data, information, or material that Customer submits to Torchlite in connection with the Services ("Customer Recipient Data"). Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Customer Recipient Data, and Customer is responsible for maintaining, securing, and storing all Customer Recipient Data in accordance with applicable law. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement and Customer's payment of all unpaid and outstanding Fees, and within 45 days, Torchlite will destroy Customer's data so supplied to Torchlite.com. Torchlite has no obligation to retain the Customer Recipient Data, or return it to customer, and may delete and destroy such Customer Recipient Data without providing Customer with notice of such deletion.
- Customer Information. Torchlite collects certain personal and business-related information about its Customers which generally includes, but is not limited to, contact information and payment information (the "Customer Information"). Torchlite collects such information in order to provide the Services or the Professional Services, as the case may be, and related technical support. If you have provided your Customer Information, Torchlite may contact you for marketing purposes by various means, including, but not limited to, regular mail, email, or telephone. When you activate a Torchlite account (including during the Trial Period), you expressly consent to receive marketing communications via direct mail, email (at the email address you provided when you activated your account), telephone (at the number you provided when you activated your account), pre-recorded messages (at the number you provided when you activated your account), text messages (if you provided a wireless telephone number), instant messages, or other communications methods.
- Data Disclosures. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Torchlite does not disclose, sell, or rent Customer Recipient Data or Customer Information (collectively, the "Data") without Customer's prior consent or unless required by order or other requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body or applicable law. Customer expressly permits Torchlite to disclose the Data to: (i) Torchlite personnel who access and manage the Data in connection with the Services; (ii) Service providers for purposes of providing functions or services related to the Services and Torchlite's customers' accounts; and (iii) Torchlite marketing partners through which Customer purchased the Services, if any. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Torchlite will not provide any Data to any third party without Customer's authorization and will use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit any third party that receives any such Data from selling or redistributing such Data without Customer's authorization.
- Passwords. In connection with Torchlite's provision of the Services, Torchlite will send to Customer's email address (as designated by Customer at the time an account is established), information such as user IDs and/or passwords which will enable Customer to access the Services (the "Passwords"). Customer agrees to maintain the Passwords in strict confidence and not to provide the Passwords to any third party. Customer will notify Torchlite promptly if there is a loss or compromise of any Passwords, and Customer will be solely responsible for all actions and fees incurred as a result of such incident resulting from the Customer's negligence or intentional misconduct. Any unauthorized use of the Passwords by Customer will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
- Proprietary Rights. This is an agreement for services and Customer is not granted any license hereunder. All software embedded in the Services, the Professional Services, and in any applications developed, owned or controlled by Torchlite (as applicable) (the "Software"), and the Services, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Torchlite. Accordingly, Customer acknowledges that, as between Torchlite and Customer, Torchlite owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Software and the Services, including, without limitation, all United States and international patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, trade secret rights, and all other proprietary rights pertaining thereto. Except as expressly granted in this Agreement, Customer will not have or acquire any rights or interest in or to the Software or the Services. Customer acknowledges that the Software contains proprietary information and trade secrets of Torchlite. Customer will not take any actions inconsistent with Torchlite's ownership of each of Torchlite's rights in and to the Software. Customer agrees that Customer will not directly or indirectly: (i) assign, distribute, license, sublicense, transfer, sell, rent, lease, time share, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any rights in or to the Software, or make the Software available to third parties except as authorized by this Agreement; (ii) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software for any purpose, including, without limitation, the creation of derivative works or similar products; (iii) upload, link to, or post any portion of the Software on a bulletin board, intranet, extranet, or web site; (iv) use or distribute the Software in violation of any applicable laws, regulations or export restrictions; or (v) possess or use the Software in any format other than machine-readable format. All rights in the Software not explicitly granted herein, are reserved by Torchlite.
- Use of Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it will use the Services (and the Professional Services as the case may be) only to access, employ, utilize, or display the Software solely for Customer's "internal business purposes" by Customer's employees or by independent contractors hired by Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "internal business purposes," as used herein, does not include, among other things, the right to: (i) send spam or otherwise duplicative or unsolicited messages in violation of applicable laws; (ii) send or store infringing, obscene, threatening, harassing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortuous material, including material harmful to children or violative of third party privacy rights; (iii) send messages to any purchased (email) lists, purchased distribution lists, purchased newsgroups, or purchased email addresses; (iv) send or store material containing malicious code, including, without limitation, software viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents, or programs; or (v) use the Services (and the Professional Services as the case may be) in any other manner which violates any Policy or any applicable law. Customer agrees to report immediately to Torchlite and to use best efforts to stop immediately any violation of the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11 or in any of the Policies. In the event of any suspected violation of any term, condition, or restriction set forth in this Section 11 or in any Policy, or in the event Torchlite otherwise reasonably objects to any inappropriate or improper content uploaded by Customer in connection with its use of the Service, Torchlite may immediately disable Customer's access to the Services and suspend its provision thereof.
- No Tampering. Each email message that is sent using the Services must contain an "unsubscribe" link that allows Recipients to remove themselves from Customer's mailing list and a link to Torchlite's Policies. Customer agrees that it will not remove, disable, modify, or attempt to remove, disable, or modify either link. Further, each such email message may contain an automatic identifying footer such as "Powered by Torchlite." Except as otherwise expressly permitted in writing by Torchlite, Customer agrees that it will not remove, disable, or modify or attempt to remove, disable, or modify such footer.
- Confidential Information. Each of Torchlite and Customer, as a Receiving Party (as defined below), will hold confidential, not use except as otherwise authorized herein, and protect from disclosure to unauthorized third parties the Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Disclosing Party (as defined below). For purposes hereof, "Confidential Information" means any information disclosed by one party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party") that relates to such Disclosing Party's business affairs, internal operations, personnel, subscribers, customers, financial matters, technology, research and development, product plans or offerings, markets, or know-how. Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) was publicly available, or that subsequently becomes publicly available, except by wrongful disclosure hereunder by the Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party's possession prior to receipt of the same hereunder, as evidenced by the Receiving Party's prior written records; (iii) was received from a third party who was not known by the Receiving Party to be under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information or to have violated any applicable law; (iv) can be proven by competent written evidence to have been independently developed by the Receiving Party; (v) is approved in writing for release by the Disclosing Party, or is provided by Disclosing Party for the purpose of marketing the Disclosing Party's business.

From time to time, Torchlite may be required to disclose Customer's Confidential Information by order or other requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body or applicable law, as determined by Torchlite or its legal counsel. In such event, Customer hereby permits Torchlite to disclose such information to the extent necessary to comply with such order or legal requirement, which disclosure shall not be construed as a breach of this Section.

Regardless of any recommendation by Torchlite or use of such third party products or services, Torchlite does not make any representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to any such third parties or any of their products or services. While Torchlite may rely on data or information provided or generated by such third party products and services in the course of providing the Services (and the Professional Services, as applicable), Customer hereby acknowledges that Torchlite specifically does not warrant the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any such data and information; and agrees that Torchlite shall not be liable for any acts or omissions based on its reliance thereon.

No claim may be asserted by Customer against Torchlite more than twelve (12) months after the date of the cause of action underlying such claim.

- Indemnification. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Torchlite, the Representatives, and its and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, consultants, representatives, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, sums of money, damages, expenses, costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) and/or actions arising from: (i) Customer's acts or omissions; (ii) Customer's violation of any applicable law, including, without limitation, the United States CAN SPAM Act and Canada's Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act, or the Policies; (iii) Customer's breach of any term or condition set forth in this Agreement (including in the Policies); (iv) Customer's breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth herein; and/or (v) Customer's infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights or other rights of any person or entity.
- Term and Termination. The Sales Order determines the initial term (the "Initial Term") of your Agreement. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive terms equal to the same period of time as the Initial Term (each, a "Successive Term," together with the Initial Term, the "Term"), and you will continue to be billed for the Fees until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. At any time during the Term, either Customer or Torchlite may terminate this Agreement for any reason. If Customer desires to terminate this Agreement, Customer may request a termination by calling Torchlite at 812-567-6550, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. (EST) and 8:00 p.m. (EST) (a "Valid Termination Notice"). Customer acknowledges that allowing a credit card to expire or failing to submit payment by check does not constitute a Valid Termination Notice. Any Customer termination request that occurs in the middle of a payment term (whether monthly, quarterly or annually, as set forth in the Sales Order) will be made effective on the final day of such term. If Customer wishes to terminate only the Professional Services, it should contact its account manager prior to such services being performed. Torchlite may terminate this Agreement immediately effective upon delivery to Customer of notice thereof. Such right to terminate this Agreement shall include Torchlite's right to terminate its provision of the Services and/or the Professional Services (as applicable) and to pursue all available equitable and legal remedies (in the event Customer breaches any term or condition, or any of its representations or warranties set forth herein). Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all Customer Recipient Data may be destroyed and deleted in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8 above. Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer will remain obligated to pay Torchlite Fees which were incurred prior to (and on) the effective date of such termination or expiration, as the case may be.
- Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana as applied to agreements entered into and performed entirely within the State of Indiana, except for those conflicts of law rules thereof that would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall not be governed by the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
- Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall be designated by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) days after a request for arbitration hereunder, each party shall designate one (1) arbitrator and the arbitrators so designated shall designate a third arbitrator who shall conduct the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Torchlite shall have the right to seek injunctive relief or other equitable or legal remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Indiana, to which jurisdiction, for such purpose, Customer hereby irrevocably consents.

Say hello to your new role model! Stunning & brilliant Pooja Mor
Age: 25
Nationality: Indian
Résumé: Mor started modeling after winning a contest at university. She moved to New York last year and has worked for Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen
Instagram: @poojamor
Modeling Wasn't My Plan…
I studied engineering and was preparing to do an Mba, and after that I wanted to open an organic vegetarian restaurant in my home town [of Bareilly]. I still want to do it. I'd also like to study in Paris.
My First Big Job... Was for Louis Vuitton. I was cast in the Cruise '15 show in Palm Springs as soon as I arrived in New York, after their team saw me on Instagram. It was so much fun. Then fashion week came along and it was really hard!
I Use Coconut Oil Everywhere… My hair, my skin, to remove makeup. I massage it into my hair and leave it in for an hour before washing it. I also mix turmeric powder with rose water or milk and use it as a face mask.
My Style Is Very Simple… It's loose and cool, I just put anything on and go. Mostly it's white, black and gray, but my Indian closet is full of color – everyone there is bright and enjoying life. I tried to wear color in New York once and everybody stared at me.
I Meditate Every Day… For at least 20 minutes each morning, or an hour if I have time – it's how I stay grounded. My family is super spiritual so meditation has been part of my life since I was a kid.

3 Years a Blog (Absent Friends)/
So, there is the third anniversary of this blog coming up. Today. There are only some problems:
- I don't have a lot of time to write nowadays.
- You might have noticed that because I barely publish any articles anymore.
- So it seems weird to celebrate something that seems to be getting weaker every month.
Alright, skip the party, we're going home.
Okay, let's have a little party. Three years is a long time to be writing constantly, even with some gaps. Sure, the statistics from this third year are not great. Sixteen articles in one year is not great. Remember, in my first year I wrote 224 articles! But that's okay. I care about every of those posts I wrote. In fact, I'd consider some of them my best work. And, even more importantly, I still don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I still think about writing posts every single day. I don't always find the time and some ideas get lost. Others are long and complex and take a lot of work. The Comfort Zone of Unhappiness was one of my longest and most popular articles. I'm proud of it. I want to write more posts like that. I will also continue discussing my school career which is still the best reason not to write as much here. Actually changing something is still better than just publishing words.
I will keep doing this. The name of this blog is still a slogan I wear on my sleeve every day (and would probably be my first tattoo if I ever got one).
Alright, speech is over. This is a party, there should be dancing. Here are the Greatest Hits, an introduction to the works of Speak Up, Ask, Answer:
For my thoughts on school, there is
- 10 Basic Principles of Our School System
- Teacher Looks at Class I, II and III
- Here's My Future 1
- Here's My Future 2
- Here's My Future 3
- Here's My Future 4
- Here's My Future 5
- Here's My Future 6
For some philosophical on our culture and everything that's connected to it, there is
- The Three Flawed Pillars
- Going With the Flow and Going Against the Flow
- What's Your Escape?
- The Comfort Zone of Unhappiness
And finally, some selected favorite movie analysis posts
- Man of Steel (which started it all) and Batman v Superman
- Cabin in the Woods
- The Room
- 12 Years a Slave
- Interstellar
- Badlands
- Se7en
- Irréversible
- Inside Llewyn Davis
- Nightcrawler
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (Part 1 of my Disney series)
- Ex Machina
- Arrival
And that's it! Go home, everyone, I'll see you in a year. Until then, I have some writing to do. Thanks for coming!

Bread Dipping Gift Set, Olive Oil Dipping Dishes With An Olive Oil Cruet
Bread dipping with olive oil makes a tasty appetizer as well as a healthy snack. The last thing you want to do is pour olive oil in a plastic dish to dip from. Plastic absorbs olive oil and it would be a mess to clean. Instead, specifically designed for this purpose, a stoneware olive oil dipping dish was made.
Featuring a unique swirl design, the olive oil dipping dish gives off a fancy, gourmet elegant look. The grape cruet is an oil and vinegar cruet that has two separate compartments for storing both olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The inside compartment is in a grape shape. These handblown cruets are made from break resistant glass, which make them very durable and won't break easily.
When you put the two together, you are all set for a gourmet appetizer. You can easily store and pour olive oil from the cruet into the dipping dish, as well as easily get more olive oil. Unlike using the EVOO from the bottle, it is so much easier.

KINDERTONS ACCIDENT MANAGEMENT will extend its sponsorship of Crewe FC into a second year for the 2017/18 season as it looks to grow its community involvement and charity activities.
2016/17 was the first season of sponsorship and Kindertons has found Crewe FC to be on the ball in the community.
Kinderton's Dan Athorn, a former Crewe player himself, said: "During our first year we have been fortunate to take part in some great events organised by the club, seen some great community spirit and can be proud in saying that we have been part of some great strides forward in the development of Crewe FC.
"We hoped to be able to make a difference to a club that itself makes such a difference to so many in our community. This is now something our business can count amongst its highest achievements. We too have benefitted from the relationship through the Crewe FC Colour Run, Kindertons staff Game, attendance at the annual Sportsman's dinner and having our name associated with the upcoming Kindertons Cup – a tournament that will host around 1000 children over 2 weekends in July."
The Crewe FC Colour Run was a highlight of last season with 65 Kindertons staff taking part and helping to raise £4000 for St Luke's Cheshire Hospice.
Crewe FC brings together over 24 teams and 400 members of all ages; with even more involved through the Free Football Fridays for 5-7 year olds. As part of its expansion, the club will for the first time be supporting a team in the Crewe and District Sunday league.
Kindertons is also looking to support Crewe FC during its discussions with the Cheshire FA and Cheshire East about securing a dedicated facility for the future.
Dan said: "As a business we want to be able to support our local community and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Crewe FC in allowing us to do this in a way that has also brought great enjoyment and involvement. I hope that we can become more involved and continue to forge a partnership that we, our staff and the team at Crewe FC can be proud of."


text: This puzzle has two sets of clues: Rows and Pentominoes. Enter the answers to the Rows clues from left to right; there will be two answers per numbered line. The dividing point between answers is for you to determine. Once you have filled in most of the Rows answers, use them to place the answers to the Pentominoes clues; these clues are presented in no particular order. Pentominoes are regions containing five cells each; these are shown below (although not all of these shapes are used in the grid). The letters in the pentominoes should be read left to right starting with the top row. (In the example below, the rows spell PLANT, SHARE, and BITES, and the pentominoes spell PLANS, TREES, and HABIT.) When the puzzle is solved correctly, every letter in the grid will be used in both a Rows answer and a Pentominoes answer.

Brought to you by WBIW News and Network Indiana
Last updated on Tuesday, October 8, 2013
(Indianapolis, IN) - The Indianapolis Colts have beaten two of the top teams in the NFL in the last three weeks, but head coach Chuck Pagano says he doesn't see the team getting a big head.
The Colts have defeated the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, widely considered to be two of the league's best.
But Pagano says the team is keeping an even attitude.
"I don't think you'll see any of these guys walk around with their chest buffed out like a robin, walking around the yard after a big rain storm, bunch of worms out there, all robin-ed up," said Pagano.
"We're not going there.
We'll keep reminding them of it's a short ride from the penthouse to the outhouse.

Bookshelf: May 31, 2013/
By Paul Rudnick (May 31, 2013) - "A book that will make you see yourself clearly for the first time. When Becky Randle's mother dies, she's whisked from her trailer park home to New York. There she meets Tom Kelly, the world's top designer, who presents Becky with an impossible offer: He'll design three dresses to transform the very average Becky into the most beautiful woman who ever lived. Soon Becky is remade as Rebecca -- pure five-alarm hotness to the outside world and an awkward mess of cankles and split ends when she's alone. With Rebecca's remarkable beauty as her passport, soon Becky's life resembles a fairy tale. She stars in a movie, VOGUE calls, and she starts to date Prince Gregory, heir to the English throne. That's when everything crumbles. Because Rebecca aside, Becky loves him. But the idea of a prince looking past Rebecca's blinding beauty to see the real girl inside? There's not enough magic in the world. Defiant, naughty, and impossibly fun, GORGEOUS answers a question that bewilders us all: Just who the hell IS that in the mirror." (Scholastic Press)
Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War
By Michael Isikoff (May 31, 2013) - "Filled with news-making revelations that made it a New York Times bestseller, Hubris takes us behind the scenes at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, State Department, and Congress to show how George W. Bush came to invade Iraq -- and how his administration struggled with the devastating fallout. Hubris connects the dots between Bush's expletive-laden outbursts at Saddam Hussein, the bitter battles between the CIA and the White House, the fights within the intelligence community over Saddam's supposed weapons of mass destruction, the outing of an undercover CIA officer, and the Bush administration's misleading sales campaign for war. Written by veteran reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn, this is an inside look at how a president took the nation to war using faulty and fraudulent intelligence. It's a dramatic page-turner and an intriguing account of conspiracy, backstabbing, bureaucratic ineptitude, journalistic malfeasance, and arrogance." (Random House)
'The East'
Staring Brit Marling (May 31, 2013) - "'The East,' a suspenseful and provocative espionage thriller from acclaimed writer-director Zal Batmanglij and writer-actress Brit Marling, stars Marling as former FBI agent Sarah Moss. Moss is starting a new career at Hiller Brood, an elite private intelligence firm that ruthlessly protects the interests of it's A-list corporate clientele. Handpicked for a plum assignment by the company's head honcho, Sharon (Patricia Clarkson), Sarah goes deep undercover to infiltrate The East, and elusive anarchist collective seeking revenge against major corporations guilty of covering up criminal activity. Determined, highly-trained and resourceful, Sarah soon ingratiates herself with the group, overcoming their initial suspicions and joining them on their next action or "jam." But living closely with the intensely committed members of The East, Sarah finds herself torn between her two worlds as she starts to connect with anarchist Benji (Alexander Skarsgard) and the rest of the collective, and awakens to the moral contradictions of her personal life."

NEW YORK (AP) — A white envelope delivered to an Israeli bank Wednesday aroused suspicion and brought out the bomb squad but turned out to be an recordable greeting card from a headhunting firm, police said.
The 6-inch by 3-inch package was deemed suspicious because it was wrapped in bubble wrap and addressed to an officer of Bank Hapoalim, near Rockefeller Center, but the name was misspelled and there was no return address, police said. It was X-rayed in a mailroom, where wires and a battery were detected, so the bomb squad was called at about 10 a.m.
Officers examined it and opened it safely, and found it was an electronic greeting card, police said.
The mail room and a few floors above and below were evacuated as a precaution. No traffic was disrupted, and workers were being allowed back in by midday Wednesday.
On an average day, New York City police get 90 to 100 reports of suspicious packages. Later Wednesday, an unattended backpack at Pennsylvania Station was found to be harmless.
Representatives of Bank Hapoalim in Israel briefly lost contact with the New York branch after the package was reported, but a spokeswoman said the branch was getting back to normal.
There were dozens of firefighters and police officers outside the building that houses the bank, and office workers were milling around waiting for the all-clear to go back to work.
Diana David, an administrative assistant at a different bank on the seventh floor of the building, said she evacuated herself out of caution.
"On Sept. 11 people were told to stay in place. A lot of people died because of it," she said.

With Christmas wrapped up for another year, many will be now be thinking about how to get rid of the Christmas tree.
Ogden Water Local Nature Reserve in Halifax is offering a service to people across Calderdale to recycle Christmas trees and will be open for people to drop off their trees until the end of January.
Ogden Water has been recycling Christmas trees for more than 10 years and in the last three years has collecting more than 6,500 trees– around £200,000 worth – which have been used to help with on-site management. Those with roots will be planted and those that do not have roots will be used to create a border around the reservoir.
This border prevents anyone from accessing the water – helping to keep people safe while still enjoying the site.
It also creates a habitat that is used by different birds, mammals insects and plants to breed, grow and develop over the coming year.
Once the trees are collected, there will be a number of community days on Tuesdays, January 9, 16, 23 and 30 where volunteers are needed to help staff to prepare the trees and lay them around the reservoir side.
Calderdale Council's cabinet member for neighbourhoods and communities, Coun Susan Press, said: "Ogden Water was one of the first places to recycle Christmas trees in this way, and staff and volunteers on site will be happy to take unwanted trees off your hands.
"It's sad to see trees out with people's rubbish after Christmas, but by donating old trees to Ogden Water they're given a new lease of life and will be used to create a habitat for wildlife."
If anyone would like to join in with these sessions, contact Chris Sutcliffe on 07769 954956.
The team at Overgate Hospice will also be collecting and recycling Christmas trees, in return for a donation, as part of its tree recycling scheme.
This year the team will be collecting real Christmas trees from homes across Calderdale from Friday (January 5).
Residents do not even need to be home to have their tree collected as they can be picked up from their front garden.
Community fundraiser Harriet Eames said: "We are always looking for ways to raise funds whilst helping the community and this is a fantastic way of doing just that.
"The campaign raised over £4,500 last year and we are hoping to collect even more trees this January."
Residents that would like to save themselves the time of recycling their tree can book in for a collection and donate at the same time, supporting the work of Overgate Hospice.
To book a collection, visit www.overgatehospice.org.uk or call 01422 387121.

It's natural to graze when it's cold. You grab a handful of salted peanuts here, a chocolate brownie there, some buttery popcorn over there -- pretty soon you've unknowingly added 1,500 calories to your diet. The act of grazing isn't the problem; it's what you're grazing on. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are great options.
Sunflower seeds are rich in potassium, Vitamin E and fiber. You can roast them yourself or buy them (ideally without salt) at your local health food store. Add some pumpkin seeds for snacking variety. Some research has even indicated that pumpkin seeds are helpful in relieving anxiety and lessening depression that can be associated with cold weather months [source: e-swastya].

Amarone, a strong red wine grown in the Veneto, is a great match for another of the area's most famous products – Treviso Tardivo radicchio. Both are a vivid violet-maroon in colour, and both have an amaro, or almost bitter flavour. This risotto works on a kind of agrodolce idea – balancing the bitterness of the wine and the leaves, against the creaminess of a risotto enriched with stringy Asiago cheese (another delicious product from the Veneto region!), and the sweet flavour of caramelised balsamic.
The hazelnuts offer another contrast, crunch against cream, but also a bit of colour, their golden brown kernels standing out in a sea of rich maroon.
(Serves 4)
- 100g butter
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 brown onion – very finely diced
- 1 clove garlic – crushed
- 240g risotto rice – Carnaroli or Aborio
- 250ml Amarone wine (or substitute another rich, red wine)
- 1.75 litres good quality vegetable stock
- 2 heads of Treviso Tardivo (or another red radicchio) – roughly chopped on the diagonal into approx. 2cm pieces
- 2½ tablespoons of good quality balsamic vinegar
- Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Handful of shelled hazelnuts – lightly crushed into halves or smaller
- 100g aged Asiago (Asiago Vecchio or Stravecchio) cheese – the aged cheese has a harder consistency (almost like a Parmesan), the younger version, typically used in panini, isn't really a suitable substitute.
Boil the vegetable stock in a medium saucepan, then, once boiling, place on a back burner, over minimum heat, to remain at a low simmer.
In a heavy-based pan, melt half of the butter (the second half will be added at the end), together with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, over a low-medium heat. Add the onion and cook slowly, until soft, but not coloured (approx. 5 minutes), then add the crushed garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon as you do so.
Next, pour in the rice, and stir vigorously to coat the grains in the butter. Toast for two minutes, until the rice has begun to go transparent at the edges, then slosh in the Amarone.
Stir to allow the rice to absorb the wine – it will turn a beautiful purple colour as it does so. When all the wine is absorbed, add your first ladle of hot stock, and continue to stir while this is absorbed. (If at any point during the absorption phase, you feel the colour of the rice isn't as intense as you like it to be, top up with a little extra wine…).
As each ladle-full of stock is absorbed, add another, continuing to stir between additions to coax all of the starch from the rice grains and ensure a rich, creamy texture.
While still keeping an eye on the risotto, place the second tablespoon of olive oil into a medium frying pan and allow to heat. Add the chopped Treviso and fry until soft, then add the balsamic vinegar. Continue to cook gently until the radicchio is dark, caramelised, and sticky.
Meanwhile, also turn on the grill, ready to toast the hazelnuts. When hot, toast these for 3-5 minutes, or until golden – keeping a careful eye out as you do so, as they can burn quickly.
After about 15 minutes cooking time, taste a few grains of the risotto – they should be cooked through, but still have some texture. Add salt and pepper to season, then remove from the heat.
Lastly, add the remaining 50g of butter to the risotto in cubes, along with the grated Asiago cheese. Beat quickly and energetically to incorporate these into the rice, then pop a lid onto the pan and leave it to sit for 2 minutes. This will allows the cheese and butter time to melt, and for everything to meld together, ensuring an even more creamy risotto.
Dollop onto four plates to serve, creating a little well in the centre of each to receive the caramelised radicchio. Scatter the toasted hazelnuts over, and eat immediately, while still warm and gooey.

Terminal Convention
Terminal Convention was an ambitious hybrid event that inhabited the disused terminal of Cork Airport, Ireland, for two weeks in March 2011. In the visual art strand of the programme, curated artists were invited to create pieces that were more or less specific to the building where they would be exhibited. The resulting film, Terminal Convention, considers these new arrivals in the light of their surrounds.
Characterised by extended static takes and reflective, deliberate edits, the film is by turns mischievous and poignant. The terminal is again devoid of people as the artworks obliquely converse, and the air is heavy with the weight of all that has passed through and on.
The exhibition was curated by Peter Gorschlüter and produced by Paul Sullivan. Terminal Convention was commissioned by Static Gallery, Liverpool.

What is Hematuria?
During routine visits to your health care provider, you are often asked to give a urine sample for testing. Many tests are done routinely, like checking for sugar (diabetes), bacteria (infection) and blood. Blood in the urine that you do not see is called "microscopic hematuria." This blood is only visible under a microscope. There are many causes and most are not serious, but may call for care by your health care provider.
- Urinary infection
- Enlarged Prostate in older men
- Kidney or bladder stones
- Period in women
- Prostate infection
- Kidney disease
- Kidney trauma
- Bladder cancer (mostly in smokers)
- Kidney cancer
- Blood thinning drugs (aspirin, coumadin/warfarin)
- Anti-swelling drugs (joint swelling and pain pills)
- Tough workout
When blood is found in the urine, health care providers want to make sure there is not a serious health issue involved such as a tumor in the kidney or bladder . Urological cancers are rarely the cause of blood in the urine. Only about 2 or 3 of every 100 people with microscopic hematuria are found to have cancer.
When you actually see blood in the urine, it is called "gross hematuria." This is much more likely to be tied to a cancer or other health issue that needs medical care.
Repeat Urine Testing
The next step when microscopic blood is found is to repeat your urine test. This checks that the first finding was correct. You will need to get a mid-stream sample of urine. You will be told to collect your sample only after you have started to pass urine. Uncircumcised men will need to retract their foreskin to get a proper sample. Women will need to spread their labia and clean the opening of the urethra to get a clean sample.
Your health care provider will ask you questions about your health history. They will want to know about any infection, menstruation (period), kidney stones, drugs, or recent kidney injury. Simply repeating the urine test might be all that is needed if no further blood is found.
If Testing Shows Blood and Protein
If protein is also found in the urine along with blood, then more urine tests and blood tests are needed. These tests are done to find out if kidney disease is the cause. Sometimes a kidney biopsy (putting a needle into the kidney) is done to find out if drugs are needed. Many of these health issues do not need treatment.
If Testing Shows Blood but No Protein
If a repeat urine test still shows blood and no protein is found, the next step would involve:
- blood test for kidney function
- cystoscopy (a procedure to look inside the bladder)
- imaging test such as CT scan, MRI or ultrasound to look at the inner and outer parts of the kidney, ureters and bladder.
Most often no specific cause for blood in the urine is found. You will be asked to do another urine test 1 and 2 years later. If no further blood is found, then no further testing is needed. If you still have blood in your urine, these tests will likely be repeated.
What Increases the Risk of Finding Cancer?
Cancers are not often the cause of microscopic blood in the urine. But there are many health issues that increase the chance that a bladder or kidney tumor is the cause. Seeing blood yourself in the urine ("gross hematuria") is the most worrisome. A history of smoking or current smoking will increase your health care provider's concern about finding cancer.
Issues that Increase the Chance of Cancer
- Age over 35 years
- Prior visible "gross" blood in the urine
- Cigarette smoking (past or current)
- Chemicals in the workplace
- Prior pelvic radiation for cancer
- Prior urological disorder or disease
- Irritative voiding symptoms (pain, infection)
- Chronic urinary tract infection
If you are told that you have microscopic hematuria, do not panic because most causes are not life threatening. Make sure that you get your urine test repeated right away. Your health care provider will then tell you whether you need to have further blood tests, urine tests or imaging tests such as x-rays and cystoscopy. Make sure to follow what your health care provider tells you to do, so that if there is a serious condition, it can be treated right away.

WASHINGTON — President Bill Clinton has finished writing his memoirs and has submitted the completed manuscript to editors. The book's cover was sent to retailers Tuesday as the publisher begins taking orders for the expected best seller.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
The book, "My Life," will run an estimated 900 pages and is due out in late June. The former president received a reported $10 million to $12 million advance, and the book has a first print run of 1.5 million copies.
"He finished late last week and right now we're completing the editing process," said Paul Bogaards, vice president of publisher Alfred A. Knopf. Knopf said the book reveals all of Clinton's "talents and contradictions."
Clinton is expected to begin recording the audio version of "My Life" next week. The abridged audio version is seven hours long, on six compact discs. The audio book will have a retail price of $35, as will the hardcover.
The cover of the book features Clinton's smiling in front of a white background as he gazes into the distance.
Knopf has already received over 500 requests for personal signing appearances by the former president, and are trying to schedule signings and media appearances to promote the book.
Nearly 1.7 million copies of former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's book "Living History" are in print, in addition to more than half a million paperback copies. Her book revisited her public policy battles over health care and her pain over her husband's relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky.
Historians expect that the former president's book will seek to defend Clinton's record and preserve the future political viability of his wife, who has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2008.
