Twelfth Biennial Report
For The Years Ending
June 30, 1925 and June 30, 1926
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Delaware, in General Assembly met:
The State Library Commission begs leave to submit the following report.
In the death of Mrs. Charles R. Miller of Wilmington, Delaware, the State Library Commission has lost one of its most esteemed and loyal members. Mrs. Miller was one of the original members of the Commission, always interested in the work and ever ready with able and helpful advice. The members of the State Library Commission have heard of the resignation of Mr. Henry P. Cannon as a member of the Commission with the deepest regret. Mr. Cannon's faithful services will long be remembered.
The increase in the appropriation of the State Library Commission made by the last General Assembly for the years ending June 30, 1926-1927 has made it possible to extend the work of the Commission in its different activities, the most important of these being traveling libraries and book wagons.
From July 1, 1924 to June 30, 1925, $358.63 was expended for books. Five hundred and five volumes were added by purchase and fifty-seven by gift.
From July 1, 1925 to June 30, 1926, $1,214.56 was expended for books and magazines. One thousand and sixty five volumes were added by purchase and twenty-one by gift.
In March, 1925, and in April, 1926, the Commission received from the State through the Delaware State Federation of Women's Clubs the yearly appropriation of one hundred dollars worth of books.
A recent number of the Library Journal states that there will be shown at the American Library Association section of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition, "The model of an ox and cart, taken from a Chinese tomb and made a thousand years ago. It is a representation of the 'oldest traveling library in the world' as this kind of cart was used to transport books."
We have been asked the origin of traveling libraries in this country, and we are taking the liberty of quoting the following from the Maryland Library News of March, 1925. "In 1893 Dr. Melvil Dewey introduced traveling libraries in the State of New York, in order to supplement local libraries already in existence. To Wisconsin belongs the distinction of having inaugurated the traveling library in its wider sense, by sending cases of miscellaneous books to places that had no libraries. In 1895 Wisconsin appointed a Library Commission, having been preceded in this movement by Iowa and Minnesota. The system established in Wisconsin formed the model for other states and has changed but little with the passage of time. Maryland followed in 1902. At the present time almost every State in the Union has traveling libraries and endorses them as indespensible means of circulating information." The Delaware State Library Commission was established in the autumn of 1901 and within the next eight months eleven traveling libraries were arranged and sent to schools and associations in rural districts.
Previous to this the Century Clubs of Wilmington, Dover and Milford had had a system of traveling libraries which were circulated in the state, but this work was later given over by the clubs mentioned to the State Library Commission.
From July 1, 1924 until June 30, 1925 the traveling libraries were circulated one hundred and thirty-seven times, of this number one hundred and twenty were sent to schools, and seventeen to other organizations, with a total of 7,773 volumes loaned during the year. These numbers include 1,481 volumes loaned to individuals who came to the office of the Commission for their books.
From July 1, 1925 until June 30, 1926 the libraries were circulated one hundred and thirty-one times and 7,548 vol-
umes were loaned of which 1,493 volumes were borrowed by individuals.
We frequently have requests from teachers for books for their own personal use and from individuals pursuing special lines of study.
Other organizations than schools and Church schools using the libraries during the past two years include the following: Bridgeville, Delmar, Harrington and Georgetown New Century Clubs, Wyoming Round Table Club; associations at Camden, Edge ,Moor, Felton and Millsboro; Milford and. Lewes Granges; Rehoboth Beach Free Library,
Young Women's Christian Association Camp on Indian River, a "shut in" in Lewes and the Rest Room in Dover.
At the close of the school year there are always some expressions of the appreciation of the use of the books, their help to the teachers as well as the pleasure derived from them by many of the pupils.
A teacher who received a package of books says, "'I assure you they were most welcome. The children are enjoying them, and by-the-way they are learning something about keeping a record of the books loaned. We have a 'library committee' to take charge of the work, and at the end of the term we will report to the Commission the number of borrowers and how many books were read."
Another teacher says "Our school wishes to express a deep appreciation for the use of these books. We found the selection wonderful and we could have spent more time on the library, but our school is being repaired, and is open part of the time and we did not wish the library to be subjected to any risk of loss."
A report from the sixth grade of one of the schools shows that in a little over three months, time the books from one of the traveling libraries were read two hundred and ninety times.
The first book wagon in this countr was established in Washington County, Maryland, about twenty-five years ago.
The book wagon in Delaware has been in existence nearly fifteen years. The plan was first tried out in Sussex County and met with such success that later routes were added in
Kent and Sussex counties. There are now thirty-two book routes in the State, each covering about twenty-five miles, and they were visited once a month for six months during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1925. The increased appropriation made it possible to increase the number of visits to eight months during the past year. The Commission has recently provided a real "book wagon"-a Chevrolet truck, which has every convenience for carrying books and magazines to rural districts in certain sections of Sussex County.
New Castle County has five and a half routes in charge of Miss Ellison, Mrs. Slaughter and Miss Maloney; Kent County has twelve and a half routes with Miss Mast, Mrs. Slaughter, Mrs. Schabinger and Miss Richards in charge; Sussex County has fourteen routes in charge of Miss Hopkins, Miss Morris and Miss Hall. The work in this field has been so faithfully performed by those in charge that we quote the following from a few of a number of letters to the Commission expressing the appreciation and pleasure of some of the patrons, and the desire of other rural homes to have the book wagon visit them.
"For a year I have resided on a farm on the route of your 'Book Wagon' and I feel it time I should express to the Commission my appreciation of this bit of public service. My time for reading is limited, but a book in the evening is a great relaxation to me as I am sure it is to many tired housewives. I hear the children of families in the neighborhood discussing their books and note they wait with eagerness for Miss .......... to come again. It is a great worfl!
"This is my first opportunity to thank you once again for the rural library service. I must not be selfish but I do hope the Library Commission will select this route another year. Wishing you great success in this wonderful work "I thought you might be interested to know that the patrons of the bookmobile routes do appreciate very, very much the service you render them, and especially the routes from. . . . . . . . .. The demand for the books is greater than Miss .......... can supply.
"As the season is drawing to a close I would like to express my appreciation of your 'Circulating Library.' I am an invalid confined to a wheel chair and about my only pleasure is reading. Although I take a goodly number of magazines, I shall certainly miss the kindly and efficient
Miss …… bringing good literature to ones very door every month. I think the whole community enjoys this privilege almost as much as I do. I shall look forward to resuming this pleasure next spring.
From July 1924, to June 30, 1925, the book wagons made one hundred and seven trips, 3612 visits were made and 10092 volumes loaned.
From July 1, 1925 to June 30, 1926, two hundred and thirty-six trips were made, 7785 visits were made and 21399 volumes loaned.
A conference of the book wagon librarians was held in the office of the State Library Commission on Tuesday afternoon, May 5, 1925.
Mrs. Brown's splendid 'work with the Boys' and Girls' Library Club of Milford has been discontinued owing to her change of residence. It is therefore gratifying to report the progress of the plans for a free library in Milford, Delaware.
The Rehoboth Beach Free Library is temporarily closed owing to the unsuccessful attempt to secure a suitable room.
Through the State Library Commission subscriptions to the Christian Herald, American Magazine, and Popular Mechanics have been renewed for the keepers of the six Life Saving Stations on the Delaware Coast. St. Nicholas Magazine is circulated on several of the book routes, and the American Library Association Booklist, and the Library Journal are on file at the office of the Commission.
During the past two years the Commission has been the recipient of a great many magazines for distribution on the book routes, from friends interested in the work.
Reports from two of the free libraries in the state are appended to this report.
The State Library Commission of Delaware is a member of the League of Library Commissions.

The Dover Library contains about 6,000 volumes, and is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from three to five o'clock in the afternoon and from 7 to 8:45 in the evening.
From July, 1923 to June 30, 1926, of the 650 books which have been added, 300 were gifts. 344 books were discarded.
40,729 books were borrowed of which 12,882 were juveniles. These numbers include 25,403 fiction, 11 ,403 juvenile fiction, 2,444 non-fiction and 1,479 juvenile non-fiction.
The periodicals of which there are 57 on the tables in the reading rooms prove a strong 'attraction, 5,744 having been loaned in the two years.
The total expenses of the Library are about $1,399.00 a year.
The five local papers and the Wilmington Every Evening, Greater Utica, Wilmington, The National Humane Review,
Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, The Dearborn Independent and Revue Internationale de la CroixRouge are donated.
In the summer of 1924 Miss Lilicrantz, a Librarian sent out by Gaylord Brothers, gave us, free of expense, a day's instruction in repairing books by the Toronto Method which has proved invaluable.
Each year Children's Book Week is observed with new books for the children. In addition to those purchased by the Library there are always some dnoated by the Ladies Library Club and individuals interested in the Library.
In 1925 the Dover Century Club arranged a play presented by the girls and boys at the Club House, during Children's
Book Week, emphasizing the need of having the Library open every day. Later the ladies of the Century Club repeated a play half the proceeds of which were given to buy books for the Library.
Respectfully submitted,
L. Beatrice Mast,
Mary E. Fulton,
Our school children have found The Corbit Library a great help with their studies, they were the largest percentage of readers last year. The boys find our history books a great help and enjoyment.
July 1, 1924 to July 1, 1925-4391 books were borrowed, 131 new books were added to our shelves.
July 1, 1925 to July 1, 1926--4462 books were borrowed, 140 new books bought, 52 books donated, 13 books given to Taylor's Bridge School, making a total of 7474 books in our Library.
We have 320 borrowers cards, children below the sixth grade use their parents card.
The David Wilson Mansion that houses The Corbit Library is also used for education, the children are brought by classes, the contents are explained, then they return to the school and write letters and compositions on what they have seen, memory tests have been given to see how much they could remember.
We have had visitors from 34 States in the United States, 2 from Scotland, and 3 from the Canal Zone.
Number of visitors from July 1, 1924 to July 1, 1925-353.
Number of visitors from July 1, 1925 to July 1, 1926-354.
We have been using a typewriter to catalogue our books and find this a great saving in time and an improvement in the looks of our file.

Revision as of 20:26, 13 August 2011
Gajim and OTR
OTR (off-the-record) encryption is strong end-to-end encryption protocol for instant messaging (read more). OTR hasn't any XMPP XEP, because OTR is of cross-protocol nature.
And Gajim is a powerful XMPP-client without OTR support out-of-the-box.
Gajim >= 0.15 (or gajim-hg)
Since version 0.15, Gajim has powerful plugin system. The gotr plugin is used to provide OTR encryption, and it depends on python-potr, the modern OTR protocol implementation written on python by Kjell Bradden.
To install the plugin follow these simple steps:
- Be sure, that currently installed version of gajim >= 0.15. If 0.15 version is not available, install aur:gajim-hg;
- Install aur:python-potr;
- Install/update the gajim plugins from hg.
- Install mercurial:
$ sudo pacman -S mercurial
- Go to gajim plugins directory:
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gajim/plugins/; cd ~/.local/share/gajim/plugins/
- (at first time) Download all plugins:
$ hg clone http://hg.gajim.org/gajim-plugins/ .
- (optional, at next times) Update plugins to newer versions:
$ hg pull; hg up
- Install mercurial:
- [Re]Start gajim;
At first time, you also need to activate OTR plugin:
- Go to menu Edit => Modules;
- Activate the "Off-the-record encryption" plugin;
- Click on plugin settings button;
- Generate your OTR key using "Generate key";
- Take a look on other settings;
- Close dialogs to save the changes.
Q: "Off-the-record encryption" is not shown in Modules.
A: Be sure, that ~/.local/share/gajim/plugins/gotr/ is not empty and python-potr installed on latest version.
Q: There are no Modules item in gajim menu.
A: Go to Help => About. The gajim version should be 0.15 or something like 0.14.0.1-b9cb32f5badd, where "b9cb32f5badd" is any commit id, if gajim-hg is used. If not, update gajim as said earlier.
Gajim <= 0.13
Note: gajim's otr-branch is unmaintained and obsoleted by gajim's plugin system (read above).
You can use aur:gajim-otr-hg PKGBUILD to build OTR-compatible 0.13 version of gajim. Main issues are:
- Received otr-encrypted messages with HTML markup will be rendered raw, unformatted, with HTML tags;
The OTR setting will be located in the last tab of gajim parameters (Ctrl+P) -> Off-the-record encryption. At first time, you need to generate own key on this tab using "Generate" button (this will take some time).

Afterfall is back!
After the success of Afterfall: InSanity on Steam Greenlight, Nicolas Games and IntoXicate Studios are proud to announce a new chapter in the history of the Afterfall world. This time we will travel into more 'distant future' –
63 years after Day Zero. And we will do it three times.
What is the Pearl of the Wasteland?
A search of ones own identity, legendary City of Wonders and roots of civilization in the world destroyed by war. Every character in game imagines Pearl as something different; for some it is a lost treasury filled with unimaginable wealth, for others last bastion of humanity where life thrives just like it did before the Day Zero. There is more than a few visions of the Pearl of the Wasteland in the game what evokes in a player a sense of something fugitive, elusive, almost mythical. Pearl of the Wasteland is humanity in times when civilization is but a distant memory. On the barren wastelands where survival is the only thing that matters, the last treasure that almost no one can afford is to remain human.
Three episodes, three heroes, three paths…
Every soul perceives Pearl as something different –we want to present the same story as told by three different heroes with different motivations, experience and desires. Players be able to control three different characters whose paths might cross at certain points. Although they will share a similar goal, the road, just like the Pearlitself, is unique for Reaper, Hope Iriv and Rottgar Iriv.
Every episodewill take around 1,5-2 hours to finish.
Gender: Story Driven Action Shooter
Age Rating : TBD
Platforms: PC
Release Date; TBA
Key Features:
Mix of action, exploration, saving and protecting other characters from threats
Shooting mechanics based on cover system, realistic weapon behavior and limited ammo to emphasize gravity of the threat in each situation
Recreation of the original Afterfall world setting –environments, characters, weapons, sounds, music etc.
1,5-2 hours of gameplay per Episode
Each Episode with a unique protagonist
Unique gameplay elements in each Episode
Stay tuned –news will show up on our facebook http://www.facebook.com/AfterfallPearlOfTheWasteland

ELIZABETH, NJ — The Elmora Youth Little League Troopers made team history Friday when they became Mid-Atlantic Regional champions, but fell short in gaining the top tournament title.
MORE: State Little League Champs in Elizabeth Need Help Getting to Regionals
The team's wins come after an outpouring of financial and moral support which helped get them to the 9-10 Little League Eastern Regional Baseball Tournament in Rhode Island. A Gofundme campaign raised over $13,000 to help pay for the team's travel expenses.
"It was a week of baseball for a lifetime of memories, and those kids got exactly that," said one of the team's coaches, Lou Aponte, making a reference to the tournament's motto.
The Troopers won three games against New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania to secure their spot as Mid-Atlantic champs. They lost 9-4 on Saturday in the final push to become Eastern Regional champions when they went up against Massachusetts, the winning regional team for New England.
"They were bummed out because they didn't play their best game," Aponte said. "But it was like hey listen, that would've been icing on the cake. Our mission was to win the Mid-Atlantic."
The loss doesn't detract from the team's stellar track record. The 10U Troopers were undefeated in their rise to state champions in late July, a first for the team in the league's nearly 45-year history.
The Elmora Youth Little Troopers jumped up in excitement after Sal Garcia, 10, threw out the final pitch that won the team the state championship on July 31 against Waterford Township. (Video courtesy of Gail Weingardner Delgado)
"The feeling was just overwhelming," Aponte said of the Troopers' Mid-Atlantic win. "Like you made it. I'm just kind of in awe of this team and what they've done. They kept winning."
Aponte said people in Elizabeth traveled all the way to Rhode Island to cheer and support the team with banners. Word of the Troopers' success spread to former Elizabeth residents now living in Florida who decided to donate to the Gofundme campaign.
The 13 boys who play on the team are all 9 or 10-years-old, and Aponte has coached some of them since they were 5-years old and playing t-ball, he said. He plans to continue to coach and stay with the same team as they age.
Aponte, who coached the Troopers with two others, said he thinks the team could next year make it to the Little League World Series, which is open to players aged 10.
"We have our eyes on the prize," Aponte said, adding that he thinks they can make it all the way to the final Little League World Series game in South Williamsport, Pa. one day.
Below is a full roster of the Troopers:
Derek Escobar #2; Emmanual Nunez #3; Jayden Capindica #8; Jayden Rosado #42; Jordan Rey #12; Josiah Sharpe #7; Justin Labrador #27; LJ Aponte #11; Noah Sosa #13; Sal Garcia #1; Santi Alvarez #6; Yadi Mateo #28; Jaime Tamayo #20

LEGO CUUSOO Winter 2012, Spring & Summer 2013 Review Results
It's been a busy summer for us. We're finally able to share the results of not one but three review periods: Winter 2012, Spring, and Summer 2013. We've looked closely at each of the ten projects in this these review periods, and here is what we have decided:
LEGO CUUSOO #006: Exo Suit
We're thrilled to take Peter Reid's original Exo Suit concept and create a LEGO® set based on it. The set is now in development, which means professional LEGO designers are creating the final version that will become the LEGO CUUSOO set. Final design, pricing, and availability are still being determined, and we'll reveal the final product leading up to its release in 2014.
We're still evaluating the Land-Rover Defender 110
We're still in the process of evaluating the Land-Rover Defender 110 by Sheepo. We'll let you know once we have a decision on whether it will be released as a set!
All other projects in the Winter 2012, Spring and Summer 2013 Review periods will not be produced.
The LEGO Review Board has evaluated each project these three review periods according to our decision criteria. We've decided that all other concepts in the Winter 2012, Spring, and Summer 2013 periods (including the Thinking with Portals! project from the Fall 2012 period) will unfortunately not be produced as LEGO sets. Sometimes our best hopes and plans end up not working out. After a thorough evaluation, the LEGO Review Board has determined that we will not release a set based on any of these projects. We realize this is disappointing to some, so please know that this decision does not take away from the beauty and effort put into these projects by each talented LEGO fan.
How do we make these decisions?
We know how hard you work, vote, and spread the word to see your favorite concepts become reality. Once a project reaches 10,000 supporters, our team is then responsible for deciding what sets LEGO CUUSOO will produce according to our criteria and business model.
By gaining 10,000 supporters, a fan-submitted project moves from the Idea Stage to the Review Stage, where it earns the opportunity to be considered as a future LEGO® set in a quarterly process called the "LEGO Review." Gaining 10,000 Supporters is just the first step in this process.
During the LEGO Review, we take your vote and the the information you give us in the brief support survey into consideration. This contributes to the Review Board's analysis of a project's potential as a LEGO set.
The "LEGO Review Board" composed of LEGO set designers, marketing and business representatives, and other relevant team members across the LEGO Group examines each qualified project. They evaluate concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product; including factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand.
Every potential LEGO product, including those developed internally, goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards. The amount of time this takes varies due to all the factors involved, however, know that every set must be fully evaluated before we make a decision about its viability as a set.
The LEGO Review Board makes all final decisions on which new sets the LEGO Group will release based on CUUSOO projects.
The Fall 2013 Review results will be available in early 2014
We've already started our review of the seven projects from the Fall 2013 period, and we'll share the results in early 2014. Our team is looking forward to bringing you the Exo Suit and considering more of your projects as they reach 10,000 supporters and qualify for review.
Happy building!

If you live in Houston, you may have seen these two homes already – both were featured in a local magazine – Houston Lifestyles & Homes – but, since many who read the blog aren't from Houston, I thought I would share them with you. Both houses are quite beautiful and reflective of the "Houston look," although one house is dressier than the other. Enjoy!
House #1
The first house, decorated by Ginger Barber, is located in the Montebello – a rather new Houston highrise. This project is around five years old and I've loved it since first seeing it on Ginger's web site. Most highrise apartments in Houston are either contemporary or dowdy. This, is neither. It's warm and cozy and youthful – something not usually associated with living in a newly built penthouse. Though empty nesters, the owners are much younger than typical highrise dwellers in Houston. For this project, they bought two units and combined them for a total of 5,000 sq. ft. – which is quite large for a condo. The owners left most of their furnishings in their old suburban house, bringing only a few inherited antiques. How nice must it be to hire Ginger and get all new furnishings too?!! I love Ginger's easy going style and she certainly brought that feel to this condo. Everything is so perfectly designed, the décor stands as a textbook on how to furnish a condo filled with French and Swedish antiques that is not stuffy or pretentious.
In the living room above, Ginger used soothing neutrals. The large black painted chest serves as the only accent color. Cream drapes add softness – so many people don't use curtains in highrises, which is a shame. The fabric goes a long way to warm up all the cold glass, without covering up the view. I love the skirted table in champagne taffeta – it's so full and luscious. And I love the French ottoman with its trendy nailheads. But it's the oriental styled chest that really stands out – its beyond fabulous! The seagrass really helps to keep it all young and fresh looking. Just beautiful!!!!!
A smaller picture – without all the writing over it!!
The dining room is a favorite of mine, a mixture of French and Swedish furnishings. The table had to be dismantled to fit into the elevator – a concern when planning a high rise. Creamy damask covers the large French chairs and an antique mirror hangs above the French enfilade. The chandelier is also antique. The big surprise is the Swedish sofa that Ginger placed in front of the window.
Again, not your grandmother's penthouse! A painted Swedish sofa sits between two fluted columns topped by urns. Sooooo charming!!!!!
Off the living room, the music room is filled with inherited furniture which Ginger recovered. The traditional sofa got a youthful slipcover.
The breakfast/sitting room off the kitchen is adorable. I love this room!!! Meals are taken at the painted table with its painted chairs.
In the kitchen, an antique door closes off the pantry. Seriously, have you ever seen a rustic antique door in a penthouse? Touches like this really help cozy up the home.
In the kitchen, the piece above the sink came from Round Top. The backsplash is made of tiles from Chateau Domingue.
The wife's office has a muted striped dhurri rug along with antique doors from Chateau Domingue. Shelves are filled with the sentimental photos too precious not to display. I love that desk!
The "media" room is where the couple relax, watching a TV that is hidden in a French armoire.
I'm wild over the master bedroom – which is so Ginger. The barley twist bed piled with white linens anchors the room. The bed was custom ordered from Brian Stringer Antiques which is now closed. The rustic chest, a Ginger trademark, is fitted with a hidden TV. The room is large enough for a sitting area. By filling up the space with furniture, the room seems cozy instead of cavernous. A secret to successful oversized rooms is to fill them up with furniture! A mistake many people make with today's extra large spaces is not using enough chairs, sofas, and tables. The husband's office adjoins the bedroom.
The master bathroom appears to be covered in a Rose Tarlow print, but it's not credited. The piece above the tub is romantic and again, typical Ginger. She loves to mix concrete and stone with wicker and linen.
The guest room is beyond adorable with its gray painted French headboards and chest. Framed antique botanicals hang from the wall. I love the crisp check fabric mixed with the gray toile on the pillows. The adorable matching chinoiserie lamps are from Ginger's shop: www.gingerbarber.com
I hope you enjoyed this peek at Ginger Barber's foray into slick highrise living. As you can see, highrise living doesn't have to be cold, dowdy, or contemporary. Instead it can be warm, inviting, interesting and cozy! Photographs by Janet Lenzen. To read the original article, go HERE.
House #2
Next is a large custom built house in the Memorial area. The builder was Parker House Inc. and Sarah West was the architectural consultant who tweaked the plans for the homeowners. Cindy Witmer designed the interiors along with the homeowner. Together they went to the Round Top Antiques Fair and bought furniture that anchored the expansive rooms. The walls were plastered by Leslie Sinclair of Segretro Finishes. Leslie's wall treatments are unparalleled – the subtle texture adds a depth to the walls that adds a quality that is hard to define. I would love for Leslie to do my entire house – her plaster is just that gorgeous!!!! The rugs and carpets came from Creative Flooring. Lighting came from BROWN, AREA, and Tara Shaw. The window treatments were designed by Linda Falk and all upholstered furniture was custom designed by Cindy and made by Hein Lam Upholstery. All these beautiful photos are by Wade Blissard HERE. To read the original story, go HERE.
An antique stone table from Chateau Domingue stands in the entry hall under a lantern. Love that! The living room is straight ahead.
Love!!! I love the floating day bed – by Hein Lam. They make the prettiest skirts and flourishes. Love the fireplace from Chateau Domingue. The room is dressy, yet approachable at the same time. The beautiful chandelier is from Tara Shaw and the chairs are covered in Fortuny.
In this view, you can see the chest and into the next room on the left. There's that lamb again!!! I have it and so did another house I showed last month! It's soo cute.
So pretty! The house is dressier than many like it because rugs were used as opposed to the seagrass that Houston so loves. Here, two fixtures from Round Top hang over the large wood table. Instead of slipped chairs – they are upholstered in a chenille. The sideboard is antique from Belgium. The silk curtains are fabulous!!!!!!
The family room is wonderful. I love the lush curtains and the chairs covered in Bennison! So pretty. These chairs are from Hein Lam and I just love them The large fixture is from BROWN. I like that they resisted putting the TV on the fireplace. Well, it looks like seagrass did make it to this room! A zebra is layered over it.
A closer look at the sofa and stone fireplace. The media/billiard room is through the doors next to the fireplace.
Off the family room is the large kitchen and breakfast room. The back wall has reclaimed brick and stone from Chateau Domingue. Segreto did the walls and the cabinet finish.
This shows the breakfast table with the chairs in velvet and check fabric with nailheads. The light is from AREA.
The bakers rack and antique shutters are from Chateau Domingue. Hidden behind the shutters is the office. You can see the family room on the left and how it leads into the kitchen. And you can see the large bar at its right.
And looking from the family room into the kitchen.
The media/billiard room's light fixture is from BROWN. Great rug! The painting and coffee table are from AREA.
I love the velvet that is found throughout the house. It makes everything just a little dressier. The tufted chairs and ottoman are wonderful – so soft and cozy loooking. The soft blue walls are by Segreto.
So pretty! The floor just looks old – its really new. The chandelier is from Tara Shaw. I love the shell filled with towels. Cute idea.
The son's room.
The daughter's room is especially cute in pinks and purples. Cute dress hanging up on the wall.
I hope you've like these two Houston homes. The Ginger Barber highrise is a good lesson on how to decorate a condo for a young couple and make it look trendy and cozy. The second house shows that not all Houston is just seagrass and slipcovers. The house is more dressy than most, but it still is fitting for a younger couple with small children.

The idea of talking about death makes America uncomfortable, Dr. Bill Riceman said.
The idea of talking about death makes America uncomfortable, Dr. Bill Riceman said.
Riceman, 65, will host a seminar on how to deal with dying from 7 to 9 p.m. May 7 at Blue Ridge Christian Church in Mills River. The topic will be "Looking from the Bed: 101 tips to demonstrate love to the dying."
Riceman, who has terminal heart disease, will talk to those in attendance about different ways to help during the transition toward death. The idea of mortality isn't an easy one, but in actuality, American society goes a little beyond discomfort about the topic, Riceman said.
"We're in a denial society when it comes to death," he said. "We don't even use the word 'die.' "
People often say "passed away" instead of dying, he added. In society, there's funeral "homes." These are just examples, he said, of how American society avoids thinking about death and finality.
Riceman earned a doctorate in medical ethics through courses at Harvard, Johns Hopkins University and Faith Theological Seminary.
He had a severe heart attack at age 44 and had open heart surgery. Recently, his heart disease has gotten worse.
"That adds a different dimension to this," he said.
Riceman has written nine books and is a past Iowa Hospice Volunteer of the Year.
To sign up for the seminar, call 828-424-7344. The church is at 147 Warren Drive.
Reach Millwood at 828-694-7881 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

George Turturiello, ATP, RRTS receives multiple certifications within the mobility and accessibility industries.
- Northeast Med-Equip and Northeast Accessibility are proud to announce advanced certifications earned by a very talented expert in the local community.
George Turturiello, Mobility Specialist, currently holds his Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) credential and is in the process of obtaining his Seating and Mobility Specialist (SMS) certification through the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA). He is also a Registered Rehabilitation Technology Supplier (RRTS) with the National Registry of Rehabilitation Suppliers (NRRTS). In comparison to the over half a million registered physicians nationwide, individuals with ATP certifications number only 6,000 worldwide and those with SMS certifications total less than 200.
George divides his time between Northeast Accessibility and Northeast Med-Equip, both affiliates of Stephens Pharmacy in Honesdale, PA. Through his work with Northeast Med-Equip he is able to help mobility-challenged individuals adapt to their environment through special equipment and the modification of electromechanical systems of power chairs. Based on an individual's specific diagnoses, George is able to adapt a piece of equipment so that it provides the most benefit for the customer. He describes his work as such, "I can solve problems by adapting equipment to the abilities of each client." While with Northeast Accessibility he is able to modify an individual's environment to best accommodate his/her specific needs. Such accessibility solutions sometimes include major or minor home modifications, installation of ramps, lifts or simply a review of the client's living space with recommendations for necessary changes.
George recently aided in the Honesdale Borough Pool rehabilitation by sharing his expertise with regard to stair modifications, rail positions and lift anchor positions for increased accessibility within the community.
George brings extensive experience to Northeast Med-Equip including nine years at Pride Mobility in Exeter, PA where he began as the Lead Rehabilitation Product Designer and finished as their Lead Quantum Technology Applications Developer. While at Pride, George invented many of the high end mobility systems on the market today, worked on Lithium ion batteries for wheelchair application and still maintains several patents in the industry. Earlier in his career George spent two years in electronics certification with IBM. He currently works with clients from NEPA, NY and NJ and also consults with manufacturers and other mobility companies.
"We are proud of George's accomplishments and are excited to be able to provide this level of service for our patients," said Todd Stephens, Chief Operating Officer for Northeast Med-Equip. "We are committed to helping people with limited mobility to live without limitations and George's expertise helps us to achieve that goal."
Examples of completed projects involving George's expertise includes customized in-home stair lift installations, bathroom accessibility modifications, wheelchair lift installations in both homes and churches and various mobile ramping solutions. The services provided by Northeast Accessibility are extensive and more information can be obtained by contacting George directly or through the website: www.northeastaccessibility.com
George lives in Honesdale, with his wife and daughter.
Northeast Med-Equip and Northeast Accessibility will be hosting an Open House at their new showroom location at 1123 Main Street in Honesdale during the Honesdale Sidewalk Sales on July 21st from 10 a.m. -3 p.m. View equipment, speak to George and give your feedback and suggestions on what additional services may be offered to the mobility-challenged members of the community.

During the past 15 years, New Leash On Life Animal Rescue has successfully re-homed over 5,000 dogs after a rehabilitation period. Although we're always faced with difficult decisions, one of the most challenging is the selection of the appropriate adopters with consideration to best suitability, safety and a sustainable "forever" home in the best interest of the dog. Occasionally we are faced with multiple adoption applications for the same dog however the selection criteria remains consistent. Re-homing dogs is a pleasure that fuels our passion and we strive to ensure that we are effective in our mission to reduce and eventually eliminate dog overpopulation.
If you do not live in the Southern California area but live within California, please email or call 661-255-0097 to be considered for an out of the area adoption. Please be aware that you must be willing to travel to our Newhall location (near Los Angeles) and a home check will still be required. We DO NOT allow our animals to be shipped. Lend A Paw Therapy dog adoptions are exempt from geographic limitations outlined above.
We are not able to schedule an adoption meet until all fields have been filled out, so please complete the application in its entirety. Adoptions are not based on application submission date.
We are not affiliated with any organizations on the East Coast using the name New Leash On Life.

Penguin any of 18 species of flightless marine birds that live only in the Southern Hemisphere. The majority of the 18 species live not in Antarctica but rather between latitudes 45° and 60° S, where they breed on islands. A few penguins inhabit temperate regions, and one, the Galapagos penguin, lives at the Equator.
Penguins are some of the most recognizable and beloved birds in the world, often found in zoos, aquariums and marine parks worldwide. They are also some of the most unique and amazing birds because of their physical adaptations to survive in unusual climates and to live mostly at sea.
Facts About Penguins
There are 18 species of penguin in the world. While some species are widespread and thriving, 13 of them have declining populations.
While swimming, penguins will leap in shallow arcs above the surface of the water, a practice called porpoising.
Penguins are primarily found only in the Southern Hemisphere.
Penguins' eyes work better underwater than they do in the air.
Penguins are carnivores that catch all their food live in the sea.
Penguins are highly social, colonial birds that form breeding colonies numbering in the tens of thousands.
Emperor penguins and king penguins do not make any sort of nests.
Depending on the species, a wild penguin can live 15-20 years. During that time, they spend up to 75 percent of their lives at sea.

Pretty Much Everything Related To You And Facebook Is Recorded In Your Facebook Permanent Record
from the never-to-be-deleted? dept
The parts that seemed a bit questionable to me were things like recording every computer from which you'd ever logged in... as well as a list of all other Facebook people who have logged in from that same machine. I'm assuming they use this for security/anti-phishing, but it's still a bit creepy to keep all that information. The other part that's a bit strange is that Facebook keeps deleted messages. That's a bit more troubling, since most people expect that when they delete things, they're really deleted. Still, while a lot of people may make a big deal out of this, it still doesn't seem particularly surprising or really bad. At best it's just a reminder of how much info you're giving out, and that Facebook is hanging onto... forever. Perhaps your "permanent record" is becoming a real thing.

Snow falling across New Hampshire on Wednesday
Up to 5 inches possible in some areas
Snow falling across New Hampshire on Wednesday
Up to 5 inches possible in some areas
A steady, light snow arrived in New Hampshire early Wednesday and was expected to stick around for much of the day.
The snow arrived early Wednesday morning to central and southern New Hampshire, leaving about an inch in Manchester and other areas by dawn.
The snow's intensity across southern New Hampshire will peak during the morning commute and again during the late morning and early afternoon, before tapering off around dusk.
Central and southern New Hampshire will see between 2-4 inches, with a few spots generally over higher elevations getting 5 inches.
The North Country will see less from the storm, but flurries, snow showers and a few squalls will carry there straight through Thursday, adding nicely to the totals.

PHILADELPHIA -- What could have become the Ravens' coming-out party ended with -- of all people -- Terrell Owens celebrating.
The Ravens' excruciating 15-10 loss to the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles yesterday was one they inevitably let slip through their grasp, from Chester Taylor's fumble to the missed tackles on Owens.
The Ravens' turnover in Eagles territory led to Owens' 11-yard touchdown in a four-minute swing in the fourth quarter, transforming a potential season-defining upset to an embarrassing image that could haunt them for the rest of the year.

The Celebrity Rehab of Dr. Drew
Dr. Drew is America's superego, the Freud of tabloid culture. His VH1 hit, "Celebrity Rehab," gets Hollywood has-beens back on the wagon and back in the spotlight. Now he wants to treat a whole country hooked on fame. The question is whether he may need to take a little of his own cure
Above Hollywood hovers a gigantic billboard of Dr. Drew. The addiction specialist is wearing a gunmetal gray suit and giving all those who pass below him a tilted look of concern and mild amusement. It's an advertisement for his eponymous program on CNN's sister network, HLN, the newest property in a steadily expanding television empire that includes Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, the VH1 hit that returns for a fifth season this summer, Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House, Steve-O: Demise and Rise, Sex Rehab, Sex...with Mom and Dad, Strictly Sex with Dr. Drew, and starting in September, Dr. Drew's Lifechangers. He has hosted the reunion shows for MTV's Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant and will do a special on Teen Dads later this year. Every time a star melts down or acts out, there's Dr. Drew Pinsky, making his rounds on the morning talk shows and the afternoon entertainment news, advising us that such tabloid antics are usually signs of deep suffering and untreated trauma.
Unlike Dr. Phil, with his bootstrappy southern straight talk, or Sanjay Gupta, with his numbing self-seriousness, Drew's persona has always been that of reluctant participant, a kind of "Well, since you asked me, I'll answer" stance. Drew would often make references to his twenty-year experience as the head of the chemical-dependency program at Los Angeles's Las Encinas Hospital or to treating psych patients and addicts in his private practice, which always gave the impression that he had more important shit to do than talk about Nicole Richie. Drew gets calls all the time from families desperate to get treatment for loved ones in the depths of an addiction, "and it breaks my heart," but he can't take on anyone new. Last year he just became too busy being a full-time media personality. So what does it mean if he's no longer Dr. Drew Pinsky—only Dr. Drew?
Drew, life-size now, enters the CNN-studio lobby to greet me. He is in a black tee and jeans, armed with three Coke Zeros to pound down before he has to get on-camera. With Dr. Drew, he's expanded beyond the cycles of recovery and relapse to the whole news cycle, and on this May afternoon he'll be talking about the death of Osama bin Laden, its impact on our kids, and the autobiography of Jesse James, Sandra Bullock's cheating ex-husband.
Drew and I sit in his undecorated office, stuffed with suits, his ties dangling from the shelves, and we try to chat as he preps for the show. His producers burst in at least eighteen times. One, wearing a beanie and, for reasons undisclosed, two pairs of glasses, reads over an intro for the September-11-and-your-teen segment. "Good, but too many words," he says. "It won't come off natural, trust me. Come back with less words." Later a brusque veteran who used to work with Jerry Springer pops in: "Could you write me a prescription for this skin thing I have?" Drew obliges.
When we finally get twenty minutes of uninterrupted time, Drew turns out to be charismatic in the traditional sense: theatrical, eloquent, and fervent. When Drew talks to you, his eye contact is direct and unbreaking. He cusses like a polite teamster—a lot of "shit," but no F-bombs. When you're talking to him, his face creases, his lips and eyebrows curve. When you say something he agrees with, he'll pound his hand on the table and point a finger at you and say, "You're totally right!" It's ridiculously easy to take Drew at his word.
As a preteen, I obsessively cherished Loveline, the late-night call-in radio show he has co-hosted since 1984, the way a young boy in the pre-Internet age would his first glossy porn mag. Drew made me feel secure that if I needed to, I could just call; once I even did, about a red bump on my bikini line that I was certain meant I had some life-threatening venereal disease. Because I was still a virgin, Drew explained, it was likely an ingrown hair. It was.
When my intimate, adored little show became an MTV sensation in the '90s, Drew became the media's go-to medical expert and advice dispensary on pop culture's naughtiest pathologies. Today he is better known than the celebrity underclass he is so often called on to discuss.
Drew's CNN studio comes with the usual anonymous trappings: the shiny obsidian floor panels and lightly frosted glass walls, the requisite ceramic mug. Two teens, via remote feed from New York, explain their ambivalent, slightly confused reactions to Bin Laden's death. Drew turns back to the main camera and in a sort of affected talking-head way, says, "And that's okay!" His charisma is cranked down to a more CNN-friendly level, but he is good. He does a lot of what I call the crab claw: spread fingers pointed downward when he wants to emphasize a point. He has the proper ratio of brow furrowing and energetic cadence. He is no less somber—maybe laughably so—when reading a passage from American Outlaw where Jesse James describes how it all went wrong with Sandra Bullock: "I was a kid from the streets and just didn't seem to have much in common with her friends. Some of my hardest moments were going to premieres and awards show. I just wished she was a teacher or something."
After the cnn taping, Drew and I return to his office. He unbuttons his on-camera shirt, strips to his Jockeys, and gets back into his jeans and tee. Drew sees this new phase as his attempt to help heal the strongest, sickest institution in American life today—the celebrity-media complex, which has us all as messed up as benzo addicts. All his shows and appearances, those are our celebrity rehabilitation, our treatment. "The reality—I've always felt this about media—is that it's such a powerful force, and I really want on my tombstone just to say HE MADE A DIFFERENCE," Drew explains. Whether the doctor purposefully cultivates his celebrity stature for noble means or wittingly invites it because he himself likes being in the spotlight, he is operating on the assumption that his empathetic brand of TV will breed empathy instead of the more likely outcome, that it will just breed more TV.
Most of what takes place on Celebrity Rehab happens in the parking lot of the Pasadena Recovery Center. During the twenty-one days of filming each season, VH1 sets up two double-wide trailers in the facility's connecting parking lot, and inside Drew—along with an array of drug techs, counselors, and psychiatrists—does intensive therapy with the (loosely defined) celebrities about their childhoods, their triggers, and the root causes of what Drew identifies as their lack of self-worth. VH1 also rents out a separate wing of the facility to house the celebrities. When I asked the staff at the Pasadena Recovery Center how they felt about the show, I might as well have been asking bartenders at the Boston bar i was based on what it was like to work with Ted Danson.
In his book The Mirror Effect, Drew argues that addiction in celebrities often comes from pathological narcissism, which stems from some childhood trauma. Consider the case of NBA star Dennis Rodman, who appeared on Celebrity Rehab and whom Drew describes as the show's most difficult patient: Rodman's dad not only had twenty-six other kids (not a typo) but abandoned him when he was young; the basketball player struggled with suicidal thoughts and alcohol abuse. He once told Drew that he didn't have to participate in group therapy because "first there's God, and then right under God there's professional athletes." Celebrities like Rodman are plagued, as Drew puts it, by chronic feelings of loneliness and emptiness, which compel them to seek the praise of a real or imagined audience.
The upcoming season features such TMZ listers as Sean Young and Lindsay Lohan's dad. If Drew's right, it seems like a contradiction at best and a cruel joke at worst to put these troubled people in front of cameras, which reinforces rather than challenges their narcissism. Drew's heard this criticism before. "Here's the thing: These are unmotivated people who want to be on TV and make money. That's why they're there," Drew insists. "And in spite of that, they end up getting treatment, feeling good about it, being transformed by it." According to his informal data—follow-up calls, e-mails, what you read on Perez Hilton—about 20 percent of Celebrity Rehab cast members stay clean after the program. Obviously the success rate matters less than the ratings, which are excellent.
During the first season, Drew constantly asked the cast if they were okay with being filmed. But then Mary Carey—an alcoholic porn star born to a schizophrenic mother and a father with cerebral palsy—told him, "Drew, I've done just about everything in front of a camera. I understand what this means. Stop worrying." Drew finally understood: "These people live in front of cameras and do all kinds of shit in front of cameras. They really did understand what they were getting into."
Audiences have now seen model Amber Smith puke into a wastebasket from opiate withdrawal, Mackenzie Phillips smash a car with a bat (for therapeutic reasons), Crazy Town front man Seth Binzer smuggle crack back into the rehab center. It's not reality TV, Dr. Drew assures me. It's a docudrama that serves dual purposes: The first, Drew says, is getting these sick people care.
The second is to push back against the celebrity-media complex. "I've made it explicit that the show is the pushback. You're going to laugh at these people? We're pushing your face to the mirror. Look at what you're laughing at, at what pain these people are in, and you've been sitting in judgment of them." This logic absolves Drew of any guilt when treatment fails or proves beside the point. The joke is always on us.
If we tune in to watch attention-starved junkies emotionally gore themselves but they get clean by the end of the season, then we've witnessed Drew perform a miracle we secretly hoped he could not. If Mary Carey relapses and makes a porno called Celebrity Pornhab with Dr. Screw or pill-addicted Grease star Jeff Conaway is taken off life support after two weeks in a medically induced coma or Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr ends up dead from a suspected cocktail of methadone and antianxiety medication, then we can chide ourselves for enjoying their self-destruction but feel safe in the knowledge that Drew did all he could to save them."In spite of telling him repeatedly his addiction would kill him, I could not pull him from the clutches of the pain meds." Dr. Drew told People about Conaway. "Devastating to hear of Mike Starr succumbing to his illness," Drew tweeted, about the bassist. "So very sad."
But things have been done on Celebrity Rehab and Sober House that would usually be vigilantly avoided in nontelevised treatments. Most notably: putting former lovers Tom Sizemore, who appeared in some big-time movies like Saving Private Ryan, and Heidi Fleiss, the infamous Hollywood madam, on the same season. Years ago, Sizemore, a serious drug addict, was found guilty of assault and harassment of Fleiss. Around the same time, she was granted a restraining order against him.
"Both of them had to be willing to do this," Drew tells me when I bring them up. Though the two were civil to each other at first, Fleiss was eventually using her time in group sessions to shit on Sizemore. "The thought of being with you would turn a woman gay," she once said. Things got uglier when both agreed to go to Sober House. Fleiss would needle Sizemore, who would explosively lash out. When I pressed the point about why it was okay to put them together, Drew responded, "It happens all the time that people are in the same treatment center that either were involved in nefarious relationships or were involved in criminal activity together."
"It happens all the time" is a shitty answer I didn't expect from Drew. It happens because mental-health services lack the resources or staff for full-on background checks. But Celebrity Rehab patients have their lives in the public domain, and VH1 has plenty of money.
If I know all this, Drew knows this, which means that by doing this ethically murky stuff (a) he bowed to a network's desire for sensationalism, _(b) _his judgment as a doctor is tangled, or (c) in this new phase of his career, his choices are one part clinical, the other part showbiz.
I am nestled deep inside Adam Carolla's man cave in Glendale, California: a converted warehouse that serves as a recording studio for his various podcasts on comedy, cars, and home repair, as well as a working garage for his collection of really expensive-looking vintage automobiles. Fries and pizza and leather couches and vintage Playboys and Frank Sinatra iconography are strewn about the place.
Carolla hosted Loveline alongside Drew from 1996 to 2005, known to many of us listeners as the Golden Era. Adam's comedic roughhousing of callers and his unaccommodating advice made him the perfect match for Drew's more conservative manners and Hippocratic concern. I hoped Carolla could give me some insight into his old friend's evolution from doctor to star.
That night, Carolla's guest, by pure coincidence, is_ Sober House_ alum Andy Dick. VH1 approached Hollywood's Dionysian forest creature to be on Celebrity Rehab's first season, offering him what he says was a really, really large amount of money that I'm not allowed to disclose, but it was less than a million and more than what the president makes.
"I said no to Drew," Dick says, superfey, overgesticulating, "because even though I totally love him, I didn't want to go on-air to air out all my dirty laundry." He didn't want to stop drinking for three weeks, either. Two years later, Dick was in jail for drug possession and sexual battery, and he called to see if the offer still stood. Nope. But the producers would give him some small fee and a slot on Sober House. "Look, I didn't want to go to a rehab where people are trying to hang themselves or are coming off of crack binges, " Dick says. "Every time I go to jail, I'm kept separately from other people. I'm different from other people, because I'm famous. Dr. Drew understands that, so that's a big reason I was willing to go on the show. I knew he would get it." Tonight the tragicomedian looks taut, groomed, alert. When I compliment his tan, he says, "Well, it's probably because I haven't been drinking, and I've been working and taking care of myself!" Nonetheless, he's only recently been released from jail for getting too drunk at a movie wrap party. At one point, when he and I are sitting alone on a couch, Dick looks down at his phone to read an incoming text message and with what sounds like a genuine note of despair says, "I really hope I didn't fuck this whole thing up."
Dick possesses the fatalism that you see in a lot of addicts, a radical acceptance of their inability to change. Before leaving the studio, he asks me, with the adolescent whine of a kid who knows he broke curfew, to tell Drew that he is fine and for Drew not to be mad at him and he'll be okay. Adam shuffles into the back of the garage in track pants, a flannel shirt, and socks with sandals. It's clear that he wants to go home and that I'll only have a few minutes before he gets off the couch.
Unlike Drew, Carolla isn't big on eye contact, active listening, or even appearing to give a flying fuck about this line of questioning. I ask him why he thinks Drew now dedicates his talent and practice to the treatment of celebrities instead of regular old addicts. "I don't think Drew thinks about it nearly as much as anyone else thinks about it," says Carolla.
After a moment, he adds, "Look, we can always ask for people to do bigger or better or greater things. I always remind people that every job he gets, he pays more tas, and that's sort of charity work, if you think about it."
Carolla gets up. As he's walking toward the door, I leap up to keep my tape recorder on him. He says over his shoulder: "Yeah, he's not Mother Teresa. He's not a saint. He's somewhere between Mother Teresa and Charles Manson. As we all are. And he's just a little closer to Teresa than Charlie, that's all. But he's not her."
"Everyone's dick is bleeding tonight," says Krysta, the beautiful round-faced blonde who spends several nights a week in her flip-flops screening calls at Loveline's Culver City studios. "Too many dick calls. We need more women callers or else the show gets boring."
Krysta hands me a landline so I can listen in on potential callers. In rapid succession, people are describing their warts, their reliance on dildos for orgasms, the dumb shit their boyfriends are doing. Krysta is merciless and efficient. There is no denying it: I'm giddy. For close to two decades I had imagined a tireless bullpen of call screeners, putting STDs up on the board like some_ Glengarry Glen Ross_ wet dream. I'm utterly endeared that it's just one girl, a phone twice the age of Justin Bieber, and a single screen that flashes "19 years old, from Texas, thinks he tore off his foreskin during sex."
It's clear that Drew finds his moral center in Loveline; whenever I ask about the tenuous ethics of his mediacentric work, he refers back to the radio show as a "model." "We want to give that caller something real and something to take home and think about," Drew says. "But we want everyone else to listen and learn." In other words: If people are fucking up their lives but have questions and are willing to publicly broadcast it, Drew will be there. But how this works beyond the Loveline studio is anybody's guess. In the amoral world of mass media that Drew now traffics in, there is little evidence that he can jujitsu what is essentially voyeurism and cheap titillation into a public good.
For the past year, Dr. Drew has been hosting Loveline with "Psycho" Mike Catherwood, a hyperactive, high-decibel carnival of a human being. Drew is a little sluggish, but Psycho Mike's indefatigable energy catches, and by the time the show starts, the doctor's up and talky. The anticipation and electricity in the studio feels like we're playing Russian roulette. There are a lot of blanks in the chamber, dull calls about whether it's a good idea to have a threesome (no), is it normal to masturbate twice a day (yes), is it cool to date a 15-year-old girl when you're a 19-year-old boy (idiot).
Then comes the blast. A 20-year-old woman wants to know how she can get her husband sexually interested in her again.
"What is he interested in instead of you?" Mike asks.
"He plays video games all day," she responds, "for, like, eleven hours a day."
Red flags up. Psycho Mike and Drew slow down. "Has he suffered any trauma?"
None that she knows of, she says, and tries to redirect Drew and Mike back to getting her man to want to fuck her. But the doctor keeps up his line of questioning. Within three minutes, it's revealed that her husband was beaten as a kid and that the young woman's father once tried to strangle her mother. In front of her. Drew attempts, with a steady but dissolving patience, to suggest that maybe she's asking the wrong questions. "Instead of trying to figure out how to get more sex out of your husband, why don't you start asking why he is detaching himself from you for eleven hours a day?"
This is my favorite Drew, the Drew I want to persevere. People here are confused, in pain, desperate, and they call him for answers, which he delivers, this cool disembodied voice of wisdom and care. We see only rare, ineffectual glimpses of this Drew when he's addressing underage, unraveling girls on Teen Mom or sloshing through the histrionics of Janice Dickinson on_ Celebrity Rehab_. The metastasizing growth of Dr. Drew's projects may make him more famous but ever less important.
Psycho Mike cuts to commercials. Everyone agrees that she was "the call of the night"—the one person whose life could possibly be a little better because of the show.
Break's over. The headphones go back on. "Can I give my boyfriend AIDS if I'm on my period?"
"Do you have AIDS?" Drew asks cautiously.
The caller responds that she doesn't but read somewhere that women can transmit the disease through menstrual blood. Everyone in the studio takes a deep breath. And then Dr. Drew adopts the calm, assuaging tone of a physician speaking to an anxious, vulnerable patient within the intimate space of an exam room: "It's impossible to give someone AIDS if you don't have AIDS," he says. "Period or not."

Hennessy VSOP Film
Yesterday we already gave you a small preview of the Hennessy VSOP Film, now we are able to show you the full film of the Hennessy VSOP on Cognac Fans!
Shanghai Debut: Hennessy V.S.O.P from Dustin Lynn on Nowness.com.
Journeying from the cellars of the Cognac region to the skyscrapers of Shanghai, filmmaker Dustin Lynn navigates the rituals behind the production of world-class cognac Hennessy V.S.O.P (Very Superior Old Pale). Keeping its singular blend a guarded secret for nearly two centuries, this year the legendary brandy's iconic bottle has been re-imagined for the modern age by creative maverick Chris Bangle, the one-time BMW Chief of Design.
Lynn met with Bangle at his home in the hills of Torino, Italy, to discuss Hennessy V.S.O.P's newly streamlined silhouette, which at once represents the spirit of the storied cognac and its vision for the future of the house. In Cognac, Lynn captured master oenologists—including Olivier Paultes, Hennessy's Distillery Director and member of the Tasting Committee—deliberating over the 60 varieties of eaux-de-vie that are harmonized in the amber-tinted cognac, and which go on to spend 15 years developing in oak barrels stored in the cellars of Hennessy's Château Bagnolet. "Three elements make up Hennessy cognac," explains Lynn, "wood, air and spirit.
The people at Hennessy are very sensitive to this and their tradition surrounding it." The redesign of the Hennessy V.S.O.P bottle was feted with a tasting world tour that kicked off in Shanghai and saw Lynn following Paultes and Bangle to the new vessel's public unveiling. The nomadic Lynn, who at 19 years old opened the Tribeca Film Festival with his debut film Tranquil Music, has since made music videos for electronic duo Kruder & Dorfmeister and fashion films for Alexander McQueen.

London: Frank Lampard gave the Chelsea hierarchy a timely reminder of his value as the soon-to-be out of contract midfielder scored both of the visitors` goals against Everton in a 2-1 win that moved the club back into third in the Premier League.
The Toffees started proceedings brightly as Steven Pienaar rifled home an opener in the second minute. But Lampard arrived on cue to bring Chelsea level after a first half in which they were largely dominated before pouncing on a loose ball after the break to seal the points.
The game started with a traditionally high tempo at Goodison Park and it took Everton little more than a minute to open the scoring. Pienaar finished a move he started as Victor Anichebe`s header from Phil Jagielka`s cross rebounded back off the post and kindly for the South African to power home from 12 yards.
Five minutes later, Nikica Jelavic rattled the same post as his curled free kick cannoned back off the woodwork. It was a vibrant start from the hosts but they did not let up, largely thanks to the prominence of Pienaar.
His backheel to Jagielka, again down the right flank, led to a Leon Osman strike from the edge of the box that was well saved by Petr Cech. It was his first meaningful contribution of the half.
The threat of a second home goal sparked Rafa Benitez`s side into life and Ramires` driving run at the heart of the defence created an opening for the excellent Juan Mata, though his shot was well blocked by Tim Howard.
Mata`s influence soon grew and after some intelligent link-up play in the box he released Cesar Azpilicueta, but his drilled cross evaded every defender and attacker inside the six-yard box.
The battle of the playmakers continued to swing one way and another as Pienaar responded to Mata`s creativity by sending Jelavic into space on the left-hand side of the box. His powerful low shot across goal was tipped behind by Cech.
Then came the equaliser as the subdued Fernando Torres laid the ball into Ramires inside the box. His left-footed cross found Lampard arriving at the back post and the 34-year-old made no mistake, nodding a header across Howard and into the corner of the net.
The second period saw a more threatening Chelsea attack with purpose. David Luiz, playing in midfield, saw his expertly lifted pass to Torres squandered, before the Spaniard again contrived to waste his good initial work with Mata as he strayed offside.
Chelsea were forced to replace Cech with Ross Turnbull at half-time but it took Everton over 15 minutes to test the substitute goalkeeper with a hooked attempt that required the former Middlesbrough man to catch on his line.
And though Jelavic beat Turnbull with a cute header from a Leighton Baines cross, the crossbar came to Chelsea`s rescure.
This warning prompted the Blues forward and a half-cleared knockdown from Eden Hazard found its way to Mata, who drew a good save from Howard. Lampard, though, sharp as a knife, pounced on the loose ball to drill into the net.
A series of substitutions did little to bring the Toffees back into the game and Chelsea should in truth have netted a third were it not for Sylvain Distin`s superb last ditch challenge on Torres.
But Benitez has instilled a renewed determination to the European champions and they were never in danger of relinquishing their lead, though Jelavic missed his kick inside the six-yard box, as they recorded the first away win at Goodison Park this season.

For Bay Park resident David Ludwig and his wife, Jacqueline, who are living with relatives in Merrick, those changes can't come soon enough. "I still have contents from the sewage plant in my bathtub," Ludwig said. "They said I should remove all of the porous materials from my house, but my house is made of wood. How can I raise a family here? What happens when the heat and humidity come, and there are toxins in the untreated crevices of the wood? Anything can fester and grow."
A Q&A with the Nassau County Department of Public Works
Where is the plant's functionality now? Is it to where it was before the storm?
Yes. The plant has been fully functioning since November and meeting all DEC requirements since December. Before the storm, after County Executive Ed Mangano had invested more than $70 million to reverse years of neglect at the plant and the facility had marked more than one year without any violations at all.
Is there a plan for any more repairs (storm related or pre-storm), and a timeline for this plan?
A comprehensive plan is still being devised as assessment of the plant continues. The plan will address both critical repairs but also improvements to the plan.
Has the plan change since the storm (i.e. any precautions, new measures that you learned from the hurricane that you may be implementing or addressing)?
The plan has changed slightly in that Sandy's damage was so extensive that much of the critical infrastructure needed to be repaired.
Is there are "master plan" in the works, and if so, at what point is the county in this process?
Yes. In assessing the future, a master plan is being constructed. County Executive Mangano has vowed to fix Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant so that it withstands mother nature's fury, protects our residents and prevents any damage to our environment and waterways.
What is the projected cost of upgrading, and where is the money coming from, as of now?
There is no hard cost at this time. The County Executive has requested $800 million in recovery and mitigation funds for the Bay Park Plant from federal and state governments.
Have any changes been made since the storm to see that something like the overflow of sewage would not, again, come up into the neighborhood streets?
The overflow caused by Hurricane Sandy was the first time anything like that had ever occurred. Mangano remains committed to ensuring that all repairs and improvements are made, as well as a mitigation plan that protects the plant from future storms.
Realizing that the journey to recovery is a multifaceted story with no end in sight, the Heralds are chronicling all aspects of the rebuilding effort in a series of weekly articles with a common theme, South Shore Rising.
