And off to Mc Donalds they went. By now each one of them was wishing they would have turned down this volunteering idea of Mr James. All but Matthew, who was having a blast on the Mc Donalds
playground with a bunch of 6 year olds. Meanwhile the others had to wait ages for all that food
to come out on those uncomfortable little tables.
Matthew: Dave! One of the kids took away my Pokemon card
Dave: Matthew you're 28 years old, handle it yourself
Matthew (hurt): He called me a poo-poo head
Dave: Matthew if you don't get out of my face in 5 seconds I'm gonna...
Server: Mr Nelson, your order is ready
Lisa: Thank God
Matthew: Did you get my Happy Meal?
Beth (to an employee): Can I get 50 Monopoly table sheets with that? I'm trying to win a million
Lisa: Beth, we're late as it is, so let's just go
Bill (to one of the workers): So, a Mc Donalds crew member. Too lazy to get a degree?
Worker: I'm 15 years old sir
Bill: Right. It's people like you who make me sick to be an American
Worker: I'm in the Honor Roll sir, and I got a scholarship
Bill: Whatever fries your stale burgers... (reading his tag) Billy
Dave: Bill, stop stalking the employees
Bill: I'll be on to you... Billy (Bill walks away)
Somehow they all make it into the van with all the food. Dave is driving while Lisa is seated
next to him, and the rest are on the back. Dave looks through the rear view mirror.
Dave: Matthew get over it
Matthew (wiping his eyes with a Kleenex): Yeah right, you're not the one who lost a Bulbasaur
Beth: You know what will make you feel better? I bet the toy in your Happy Meal is really cool
Matthew: You're riiiight. Dave, where's my Happy Meal?
Dave: Matthew I am not your father, for once can you do something by yourself?
Beth: I think it's up by Lisa's seat
Catherine: Matthew sit down you're gonna cause an accident
Matthew: I just need to know what it is!
Matthew get up and climbs almost entirely to the front seat looking for his Happy Meal
Dave: Matthew *sit* down!
Matthew: Wait Dave, I'm almost done
Bill (while reading a newspaper): Somebody wake me up when we get there (not at all conscious of
what's going on. Meanwhile Dave keeps trying to push Matthew away from him)
Dave: Matthew!
Lisa: Dave, look out!
Cut to outside of van hitting a pole, you can hear everyone screaming. 10 seconds later...
Matthew: It's a Snoopy plush toy!
Cut to: the er. It's a quasi-normal day, just a couple of patients on the board. Mostly everyone in the er is hanging around the front desk. Malucci is in front of everyone moving frantically.
Malucci: Rain! Explosive Diarrhea! Dr. Weaver!
Abby: Things than can ruin your day at work!
Malucci: Yes!!
Malucci, Abby and Carter slap hands and sit down. Chuny, Luka, and Randi boo them.
Chuny: That's not fair, it's 3 doctors vs one, a nurse and a receptionist
Luka: We'll get them on the next round
Carter: No one can beat team JAM
Randi: Wow, did you come up with that acronym all by yourself?
Carter: Funny, I was gonna say the same about your outfit
Luka: Alright, settle down.
Conni: Multiple MVA, single auto vs light pole. Just 7 minors
Luka: ETA?
Conni: 2 minutes
Weaver: Ok people let's get cracking. Chuny, Connie, and Haleh prepare the rooms. Luka, Carter,
Maluchi, and Abby meet me out by the bay.
The doctors walk outside as one ambulance pulls up. The doors fly open as a bunch of people fly
out, all screaming at each other. They all seem to be ok except for a couple of bruises.
Malucci: Where's the trauma?
Bill: I'll give you the trauma, buddy! Your ambulance there didn't have a place for me to put my legs up. Instead I had to ride all the way here with this bunch of idiots.
Joe: Let it go Bill
Malucci: Joe?
Joe: Dave?
Both: What's up dude? (they hug and slap each other around)
Joe: What are you doing here man? I thought you went to Grenada to be with that girl with the
awesome body who could put her legs behind her head
Malucci (embarrassed that his secret's out): Yeah well, there was a change of plans
He drags Joe into the er. Lisa approaches to Weaver with Dave in tow, who's holding his arm in
Lisa: Excuse me? Can you help him please? I think he has a broken arm.
Weaver: Of course. Abby? Why don't you take this one?
Abby (without turning back): I'll be right there
Carter approaches Lisa: Hi mam, I'm Dr Carter, that seems like a deep cut you have there on your
head, why don't you come with me, see if you need some stitches?
Lisa: Can't I go with Dave?
Carter (confused): I think Dave has a patient already
Lisa: No, Dave, my boyfriend (motions to Dave)
Carter: Oh! Well your boyfriend might have a broken arm, we have to take him to another room to
take some x-rays. This will only take a second.
Lisa: Ok. Dave? I'm going in. Are you ok? Does it hurt much?
Dave: I'm fine, just go have that cut checked out
Lisa kisses Dave and goes in with Dr. Carter. Abby approaches Dave
Abby: Hello, I'm Abby Lockhart I...
Dave (in awe): Whoa
Abby: I'm sorry?
Dave: N-nothing.
Abby: What's your name?
Dave: Nelson
Abby: Nelson?
Dave: D-dave, Dave Nelson
Abby: Hi Dave Nelson. Why don't we go in and take a look at that arm
Dave (in cloud 9): What arm?
Abby and Dave walk into the er.
Bill: Excuse me! But if anyone hasn't noticed I'm in a very serious medical condition here
Weaver: I'm sorry sir. Why don't you come with me? We can check you out, ok?
Bill (walking alongside Weaver into the er): So what's with the crutch?
Beth approaches Luka, obviously flirting
Beth: Hi, I'm Beth
Luka: Hello Beth, I'm Dr Kovac
Beth: Oh! International, I like that
Matthew: Excuse me?
Beth: Matthew go away
Matthew: I don't feel very well
Luka: Are you hurt?
Beth (pushing Matthew away): Oh he's fine! Just smashed his head into the windshield. So, Dr Kovac, where exactly are you from, and most important, do you believe in monogamy?
Luka: I'm sorry, your friend seems to be in a lot of pain
Beth: Oh, no. He's just weird like that.
Luka: Sir? why don't you come with me? we'll take care of that cut
Matthew: Can I have a lollipop?
Luka: A what?
Cut to inside the er. Abby and Dave are in exam 1. Dave is fascinated by Abby
Dave: So, Abby. That's a great name
Abby: It's short for Abigail
Dave: Abigail, beautiful.
Abby: Does it hurt when I do this (she presses his arm)
Dave: What?
Abby: Your arm?
Dave: Oh yeah. It's just a fracture. I have a very high pain tolerance you know?
Abby: I bet. Well the X-ray shows that your arm is broken in two places, we're gonna have to put you in a cast
Dave: Great, Abby
Abby (aware of what he's doing): Don't you have a girlfriend? And isn't she in the next room?
Dave: Lisa? Yeah, she's my girlfriend. I love Lisa
Abby: Cause we can bring her here to hold your hand while we cast you arm?
Dave: No, I'm ok now
Dave sits back in embarrassment. On the next room. Carter is taking care of Lisa's cut
Lisa: So then, he accuses me of cheating on him with my ex-boyfriend Stuart, on the grounds that I was stringing him along. Can you believe that?
Carter: Well I can see how he could be jealous
Lisa: How come?
Carter: He's obviously so much in love with you that he doesn't want to loose you
Lisa: Yeah but he could at least say it every once in a while. I was gonna be a doctor you know?
Carter: Really? What happened?
Lisa: I decided I wanted to be a Forest Ranger instead
Carter: Really? You're a Forest Ranger?
Lisa: No, I'm a radio journalist
Carter: Radio! Have I heard you somewhere?
Lisa: I doubt it, our radio station is in New York, we're here because the owner of the station wanted us to do some volunteering in his shelter for the homeless. By the way, someone should call him, he's back at the shelter waiting for us
Carter: I'll see that someone lets him know. That's awfully nice of him, to come all the way here to help our homeless when New York is full of them
Lisa: Well, he's only doing it because Rupert Murdoc did it
Carter: Oh yeah. You know he served the homeless just Chef Boyardee? We had to treat 152 of them for severe indigestion
Cut to exam 3. Bill, Catherine, and Matthew are being examined by Kerry, Cleo and Luka. Beth is
there too
Cleo (to Catherine): Well, you seem to be ok, but that's a pretty nasty bruise on your belly, I don't wanna send you home and have you internally bleed to death
Catherine: I'd be ok if Bill hadn't hit me with that disproportionate head of his
Bill: Well maybe I'd be ok if you hadn't hit me with *your* ribs. And where are my ice chips?!
Matthew: I'll go get them Bill
Luka: No, you need to sit back, that's a pretty nasty bruise in your head. I'm gonna put you in an IV, just to keep you under observation
Matthew: I'm allergic to IVs
Kerry: How can you be allergic to body fluids?
Matthew: Here's a list of my allergies (he takes a huge list out of his back pocket and gives it to Luka who examines it closely)
Luka: So basically we can only treat you with alcohol?
Matthew: Walgreens alcohol. The real one gives me hives
Luka (reluctant): Well, I guess you can go home then
Kerry: Maybe we can keep him here for a few hours, to prevent cerebral damage
Bill: I think we're too late for that
Matthew (touched): Oh, Bill. (to Luka) Here's a picture of my cats
Luka: Why are they attacking you?
Matthew: They were just goofing around
Luka: You're bleeding
Bath (tossing the pic away): So, now that you've treated Matthew, maybe you can take a look at me
Luka: Of course, are you hurt?
Beth: Not exactly
Luka: I see, why don't you go and wait over in chairs
Beth: Ah, hard to get. That just makes the game more exciting. Sure, I'll wait, in chairs, maybe I'll be lying down (Beth exits)
Bill: Can somebody explain to me why I'm sharing a room with these two?
Catherine: Shut up Bill!
Cleo (to Catherine): You know, it wouldn't kill you to relax every once in a while
Catherine: Well, it wouldn't hurt *you* to smile every once in a while honey.
Cleo (insulted): Ok, well, I better go see about that belly (she exits)
Cleo meets with Benton out in the hallway, we can't hear them talking but it's obvious they're discussing Catherine's case. Before Benton walks in, he and Cleo kiss for a while.
Bill: Oh, What is this? A hospital or a soap opera at Circuit City? And why is that guy so serious? He's getting laid for crying out loud?
Kerry: Well Mr. McNeal, you seem to be ok. So you can go whenever you want
Bill: I *seem* to be ok? Why the hell do you have all these machines for if you're not going to use any of them? I can sue for malpractice
Kerry: Well, for you to sue for malpractice, there has to be practice involved, and you seem to be ok
Bill: My taxes pay your bills you know?
Kerry: Mr McNeal, do you know what this is? (holds up an instrument) This is a Foley, and if you don't just sit back and shut up you'll be in such an excruciating pain that you'll wish your mommy wouldn't have pushed you out
Bill: Strong character, delicious.
Weaver walks out and Benton walks in.
Benton: Jackie?
Catherine: Excuse me?
Benton: I'm sorry, you look at lot like my sister, except you're younger
Catherine (flattered): Oh, thank you
Bill: She only looks young, she's actually 38
Catherine: Bill! (she tries to beat him up with her IV)
Benton: Ok, ok now. Why don't you come with me, Ms?
Catherine: Duke. Catherine Duke
Benton: Ms Duke. We'll take a look at that stomach (they exit)
Matthew (to Luka): You see, Mitt-Mitt was jealous because I was spending all that time with Choo-Choo, but I was only taking care of him because he had a migraine. I mean, how am I supposed to take care of one cat when the other is totally giving me the code of silence.
Luka: I see, why don't you excuse me for a moment?
Luka walks out the room and picks up the phone in the hallway.
Luka: Hello? Psych? I have a real case for you down here
Abby and Dave. Abby's still working on Dave's cast when Lisa walks in.
Lisa: Dave, are you ok?
Dave: Yeah, I'm fine. Oh, this is Abby. Abby, my girlfriend Lisa
Lisa: Oh
Abby: Hi (they examine each other for a while. Dave, between Abby and Lisa, smiles to himself)
Exam 4. Benton and Catherine. Benton is looking at her x-rays.
Benton: Well, everything seems to be ok. It's just a bruise. Just don't do any hard work in the next couple of days
Catherine: So, that pretty doctor, she your girlfriend?
Benton (uncomfortable): Um, yeah, her name's Cleo
Catherine: Cleo. So do I hear wedding bells for you two?
Benton: No
Catherine: Of course not. That girl is *not* serious about you
Benton: What?
Catherine: You heard me
Benton: How do you know that?
Catherine: Trust me honey
Benton gets up and dials a number
Benton: Cleo? We need to talk
Catherine: That's what I'm saying
Out by the front desk. Almost everyone is ready to leave. Except for Dave, Catherine and Lisa, who are still in their respective rooms.
Beth (to Randi): But, if you put your nails in front of a fan they'll get all smudgy
Randi: I know, that's why you have to use that Revlon protector, that way all the colors stay
Beth: You're a genius. So listen, what's the deal with all the doctors here? I've even flirted with that bald moody one and he turned me down.
Randi: Well, if you wanna get some action from the doctors around here you either have to be another doctor or a nurse. You have a criminal record down at the police station and suddenly they're too good for you. It also helps if you're blond.
Beth: Well that sucks
Randi: Tell me about it. Besides these doctors are just a bunch of goodie-two-shoes. If I had to put up with their good nature in bed as well I'd go absolute bitchcakes
Enter Joe and Malucci
Joe: Man, I'll never forget you for leaving like that. We had everything set up for our own duct tape factory
Malucci: I know dude, I'm sorry. If it makes you feel better (takes something out of his pocket)
Joe: The Stocker Shocker!
Malucci: I never leave home without it. Plus I still practice Joe Jitsu when I'm not at work
Joe: You should come to New York for a visit, we'll go to a Rangers game and get drunk. Remember
when we passed out on the Statue of Liberty?
Malucci: How can I forget? Those Japanese tourists never saw those scenes coming when they developed their pictures
Bill (entering): So I'm ready to get the hell out of here. Can we have our bill please?
Beth: Wait, Dave is not here yet
Bill: He better not assume that I'm paying for my treatment here. (to a doctor) Listen, can I get some morphine to go please?
Dave, Lisa, Abby, and Catherine enter.
Abby: Ok Dave, try to keep that arm dry and safe. You can go to your doctor to have the cast
removed in New York.
Dave: Thanks Abby
Abby: No problem. Take care Dave
Dave: Bye
Abby and Lisa look at each other again for a few seconds, they turn away and walk towards different directions.
Catherine (to Benton): Remember, quick and painful. No matter how emotional she gets, and I don't think you have to worry about that, it'll be better for you in the end. That's how I broke up with Bill, and look at him now
Bill (to a patient, paranoid): If I were you I'd go to another hospital. There's a red haired doctor limping around and she's a real dominatrix.
Catherine: Well, it worked out for me anyway.
Benton: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Take care now
Catherine: Bye
Dave: So, are we ready to go?
Beth: Mr. James is not here yet
Dave: We'll wait outside, this place is too weird
Catherine: Where's Matthew
Bill: Oh, by the way, Matthew was taken to an insane asylum
Lisa: What?
Bill: The doctor said it was a good idea
Joe: And you didn't stop him?
Bill: I agreed with him
Dave: Look, we'll deal with that later, let's just go
Beth: What about Matthew? You're gonna let him spend the night with a bunch of crazy people? (Dave gives her a look) Yeah, I guess you're right
They all start to walk away. Beth looks back
Beth: Oh! Good bye Dr Kovac
Luka, who had been walking towards the desk from the hallway, sees her, turns around, and walks into exam 2.
Dave: Hey Lisa? Have you ever thought of letting your hair grow?
Lisa: What?
After they're all out of the hospital Carter approaches Abby
Carter: What the hell was that?
Abby: I don't know, but I hope they never come back
Outside the hospital, after waiting for a few minutes, Mr James comes in
Jimmy: Hey gang. What's 911
Dave: Uh, we were in an accident?
Jimmy: I know Dave, I was trying to be funny
Lisa: Where's the van?
Jimmy: Well when they called me I went to the crash site, and all the food was still there so I took it back to the shelter and gave it to the hobos
Catherine: That's nice. Did they like it?
Jimmy: I think they did
Cut to the hobos in the shelter. One of them rises up...
Hobo: Where the hell are all the Monopoly stickers?
They all rise in anger. Cut to a camera shot of an airplane.
Dave: Did we forget something?
Cut to insane asylum
Matthew: Dave! Daaaaave!
Cut to the outside of the airplane
Bill: I don't think so
Dave: Hey Lisa?
Lisa: Yeah?
Dave: Do you still have that doctor costume from last Halloween?

The Sculpture Court
Artists Rooms / Tate / Edinburgh College of Art (April 2014)
Catalogue text written by Matthias Pfaller, Art Historian
'Confessional Screens'
The hexagonal cell is a veritable condensation of human emotion and complexity. The darkness provides enough room to immerse in the profundity of personal fates that the artist gathered anonymously over a period of time. Implemented in the wall, the confessions constitute the space and render the physical cell into a metaphorical (sub)consciousness. The spectator becomes a confidant and participant, thinking about what he might confess and if they may even match the ones on the screens. The concept relies on fairly recent artistic practices but also culturally evolved customs. Especially the Sacrament of Penance in Catholicism, attesting to the basic need of people to commit to others in search of relief. Nowadays, the media have become the venue for confessions of politicians and tabloid celebrities, exploiting the mass's insatiable curiosity. In art, Frankie Burr refers to Tracy Emin, Douglas Gordon, Gillian Wearing and of course Louise Bourgeois who all deal with the confession as a very fundamental human practice which, at the same time, is highly individual / personal and needs to be shared. In creating this bond of cognisance, then, the question arises if people can be judged by other people at all, given the mutuality of confessing, the pervasiveness of failure, and particularly the diverging moral standards in different societies and the frequent incongruity of morals and feelings. Entering the "confessional" demands the willingness to open oneself to the lives of others and realise the attachment of our own lives to theirs. On exiting, we obtain absolution for ourselves and the confessors in recognising that absolution is not given but felt, not a trial but compassion.
'Broken Cell'
The permeable cell made of wooden and metal struts partly wrapped in spun wool, invite the viewer to walk into the structure and to actively 'perform' the work by stepping onto the eggshells that lie within. Some of the blown eggs have words written on them, seemingly concretising (via contextualising) the act of breaking the shell and the word yet transferring the concrete to the realm of the symbolic, i.e. the linguistic. The work then becomes eerily unsteady in sustaining the structure of language, its truth-value and cultural evolution. The breaking of the eggshells incites and visually expresses the reflection about the utterance of a confession itself, the cracking of the façade previously held up and revealing the difficulty to put into words what refuses to be said in the first place. With the confession done and the shells broken, something inside the confessor breaks, too: inhibitions from keeping the secret, the frontiers to our fellow human beings, the personality one thought one would have liked or dreaded to have. The confession changes our mental location, almost becoming a new point of departure but to experience this, we must first dare to betake ourselves to the sensitive area where are certain to feel the rupture.

Art Wynwood 2015
February 12, 2015 - February 16, 2015
Featuring works by Colombian contemporary artists Carlos Alarcon, Mario Arroyave, Carolina Convers, Anibal Gomescasseres, Max Steven Grossman and Daniela Mejia.
Latin American and Colombian art have recently come into world focus. The international community has been discovering an exciting universe of ideas and cultures that for years had been a hidden treasure of artistic expressions. Suddenly today they are at the forefront of global collections, art fairs, museums and galleries. Colombia has flourished and is the focus of international investors in all fields including art. The artists presented at this fair are all young Colombian artists using a wide range of techniques from traditional painting to photography, video, transfer and light boxes.
Beatriz Esguerra Art has curated its Art Wynwood presentation around the theme of "Water." Each of the artists presented is consciously or unconsciously composing their works around this precious liquid. Earth is water, humans are water, we need water to survive in this world and as population grows, we are consuming it and destroying its sources. This exhibit does not intend to comment on today's issue of water conservation, but it does look to remind the viewers how important it is in our lives and how many times we take it for granted.

Hey all,
Working on my Bonnie Hunter mystery Easy Street.
Since I got behind, I decided to cut everything for the steps while I was hanging out with my son, so I would not be upstairs sewing and I could spend time with him.
|My completed pieces ready to be assembled.
This is going to be a two block quilt, (my pictures are out of order, but this will be the block B.

Radamel Falcao picked up right where he left off last season for Atlético Madrid, hitting his third hat-trick in red and white as Athletic Bilbao were put to the sword in the Vicente Calderón Monday night.
Tiago's late thunderbolt put the gloss on an excellent all-round performance from the home side, a 4-0 win the perfect preparation heading into the UEFA Super Cup final against Chelsea in Monaco.
The Rojiblancos began the game on the front foot, setting the tempo for a first half played mainly in the opponent's territory. The first opening fell to Miranda, but the defender could only head over from Koke's corner.
Simeone's side dominated for the second game running, and Gabi was the next to threaten, shooting straight at Iraizoz following a well-worked free-kick.
Radamel Falcao had started the game seemingly quietly though, but after drawing a blank in Valencia the previous week, it was only a matter of time before he sniffed out a chance.
On 20 minutes he dragged San José away from goal, before turning the young centre-back on a sixpence and lifting the ball over Iraizoz.
It was a deserved goal, and seemed to open the floodgates for our deadly Colombian striker. Soon after opening the scoring, he should've doubled the lead after a fine delivery from Arda, but couldn't keep his header down.
However, after chances a piece from Aduriz and Koke, Atleti grabbed their second just before the break. The ball broke to Godín on the right-hand side, who, from a suspiciously offside position, crossed for Falcao to acrobatically find the net for a second time.
Again, the angle was a tight one, but there was no denying El Tigre, and it didn't take long for him to complete his hat-trick in the second half.
After Arda lofted a pass forward on the hourmark, Radamel Falcao drew the penalty via the hand of Gurpegi, before stepping up himself to emphatically send Iraizoz the wrong way and secure the three points.
The home side refused to sit back though, with an intense pre-season again looking to have really paid off. There were no signs of the fatigue that we saw in many games last year, and Simeone was able to afford a rest to key players ahead of the Chelsea game on Friday.
Mario Suárez came inches away from opening his account for the season midway through the half, but his header agonisingly struck both bar and post before rebounding away to safety.
In the last 20 minutes, we saw Diego Costa in the red and white for the first time since May 2011, and he was the next to threaten, forcing a snap-save from Gorka with a well struck low effort.
His great work on the right wing then almost set up a goal for Adrián late on, but he could not find a way past the 'keeper, who pulled off yet another good save in the ensuing mêlée from Koke.
However, the Colchoneros would not be denied, and it was an unlikely source who completed the rout. After more good play from Costa, the ball broke to fellow substitute Tiago, thrashing the ball into the top corner with a superbly taken first time effort.
The game soon fizzled out, and bar a late curler from Ibai Gómez, Athletic really had not shown anything in an attacking sense during the game. Worrying times for the lions, but nothing to detract from a fine curtain raising performance at the Calderón from Atleti.
Now, we have just four days to prepare for our European show-piece in Monaco, although yet another masterclass from Falcao at least ensures that we go into the game full of confidence.
Line-up: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Filipe; Mario, Gabi, Koke, Arda ("64 Adrián); Cristian Rodríguez ("71 Diego Costa) and Falcao ("81 Tiago).
Goals: 1-0 Falcao ("20); 2-0 Falcao ("42); 3-0 Falcao p.k. ("59); 4-0 Tiago ("84)

Although there is a law requiring information on people who have been through the mental health/illness system be stored in a national data base so that their second amendment rights to bear arms may be violated and denied, more than half the states in the union, according to an NPR story, AP Finds Few States Follow Mental Health Gun Law, have been non-compliant at supplying names to this data base.
Kudos go to those 9 states that haven't as of yet ratted out any of their residents. When you read the following imagine the national anthem playing full blast amid thunderous applause.
The states that have failed to submit any mental health records are: Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Dakota.
Our thumbs up must go to those states who have submitted very few records as well. Given time maybe they, too, will learn to seal their lips. Uh, I mean keep their top secret file cabinets locked.
Seventeen states submitted very few records: Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
This situation may change a little in the future as legislators in the state of Kentucky just voted to comply with this unjust and unconstitutional piece of legislation.
Subtracting these states from the rest of the states we get the names of those states that deserve a good finger wagging. We must ask officials within them, "Seriously, whatever happened to the notion of liberty within the border's of your state?" When you see the names of these states imagine thrown fruit and raucous boos.
The 24 states that are free and easy with confidential records are: Virginia, California, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, New York, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Washington, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Nevada, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Kansas, Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Utah, and West Virginia.
People within these states must learn that there is indeed a "stigma" attached to receiving mental health treatment for their residents. This "stigma" is stored in Washington, DC.
This NPR story in fact gives us a few details about some of the most offensive of such states saying that 11 states have provided more than 1,000 records each to the data base. New York and Virginia are mentioned as being among the biggest offenders by having submitted more than 100,000 names each to the data base while California was said to have supplied a whopping more than 250,000 names.

In November, the British Lung Foundation released a report, 'A Smoking Gun? The Impact of Cannabis on Respiratory Health', outlining the respiratory health risks associated with smoking cannabis. The report set out to identify existing scientific and medical research.
It was funded by a grant from the Department of Health, which approached the BLF after it raised concerns that the effects of cannabis on lung health had been missed from the Government's reclassification debate.
The organisation compiled existing research into the report, for review by consultants across the UK and internationally. One finding was that health dangers have increased substantially since the 1960s due to increased amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis, rendering studies from that decade obsolete.
To promote further research into the effects of cannabis on the lungs and improve public information. To dispel myths about cannabis being safer than tobacco (a survey last year showed 79 per cent of children believed it was 'safe').
Strategy and Plan
A press release outlining the aims and key findings of the report was sent to national and regional press and broadcast media in July, the day before home secretary David Blunkett announced the downgrading of cannabis from a class B to a class C drug. A further press pack was sent out when the report launched on 11 November.
Measurement and Evaluation
The report had blanket coverage in the national print media, with articles in The Times, The Independent, Metro, the Mail on Sunday, the Daily Express, the Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and BBC Online.
Radio 4's Today programme included a live discussion with BLF chief executive Dame Helena Shovelton, with further radio coverage on Radio 1, BBC Radio 4 News, Radio 5 Live, IRN, LBC, Radio 2 and the BBC World Service.
Sky News ran two interviews, and the report featured on BBC1 Breakfast News, Channel 4 News, BBC TV 1pm News, BBC News 24, Ceefax and Teletext.
It attracted media attention in the US, South Africa, Australia and France.
The Government is now considering the impact of cannabis on respiratory health, and public awareness has been raised.
The BLF has received many supportive calls from organisations dealing with drugs and young people, and from schools. It has received a second £11,000 grant from the DoH for the second stage of the cannabis project, which will take place later this year.
On 12 November the BLF website, which normally attracts 340 visitors per day, had 14,408 visitors. Over 21,000 people visited the site that week, compared with an average 2,000.

Update: WOW! That didn't take long. Shortly after I posted this, the story was updated to say it's official: Top Kill Method Has Failed.
Local television stations like WWL TV and nation news outlets, such as CNN, report that the "top kill" method is not stopping the flow of oil from the BP/Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
According to WWL TV, BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles says the company is considering other ways to stop the well. It's video includes a question and answer session.
CNN confirms, but also says top kill seems to be making a difference of some type. Suttles said the ratio of oil to gas appears to have changed.

Revolution has gone digital. Using social-media activism, today's young feminists are leading the way for a brighter, more equal future for women. Armed with hashtags and passion, these young women are helping their sisters speak up, stand up and shake up the status quo. (This is part one of a three-part series.)
Japleen is the founder of Feminism in India (FII), a digital intersectional feminist platform that's available on all social-media sites, even a WhatsApp broadcast list. First created as a Facebook page in 2013, Feminism in India has come a long way and now has a large, extremely loyal following.
It all began when Japleen, who was a German Studies lecturer at JNU, Delhi, set out to explore the extensive domain of feminism, especially in India. To her disappointment, however, information about the topic was limited to dense theoretical articles.
Consequently, FII came into being with the clear objective of facilitating a free, easy-to-understand and accessible platform for feminist content, "written by Indian women for Indian women", as Japleen puts it.
"The idea is to increase the representation of women and marginalized communities on the internet – their stories and histories. We amplify these usually unheard stories using digital storytelling techniques, pop culture references, and new media," explains the 29-year-old.
But storytelling, despite its digitization, is a demanding business. As Japleen says, one big hurdle for all online platforms in today's time is acquiring partners. She expands, "We find it difficult to find clients who want to pay for social media and digital security workshops as well as for issue-based campaigns. However, with a few highly successful campaigns in our portfolio and clear statistics on social media outreach and how they have impacted the audience, we are getting more successful at attracting partners."
Another challenge, she says, is ensuring the resonance of the content put up by the FII team with those who need it the most. "Working in the social sector, it is important to keep building diversity and making sure that the privileged do not speak over the voices of the marginalized. The majority of our writers, while women, don't belong to only the privileged section of society. We have, in fact, instituted an editorial policy in order to centre the voices of the marginalized," she says.

For your #FridayFeeling, #FIIRecommends Joy L.K. Pachuau's book "Being Mizo: Identity and Belonging in Northeast India". The ethnic and religious diversity of India is often portrayed as the hallmark of the Indian nation state. However, this diversity has very often not encompassed the Northeast. The history of the region has been ignored and has had to suffer an enduring silence. It has been said, the Northeast is 'on the map, but off the mind' so give this book a read to get to know the Mizos as a community better.
At FII, she adds, they ensure that "men will not speak for women, upper-castes will not speak for lower-castes and cis-heterosexual people will not speak for the queer community. For too long, dominant communities have controlled the narratives and the stories of marginalized communities."
FII has uploaded nearly 200 articles so far, focusing on the perspectives of the marginalised. Topics go from gender-based school bullying, to marital rape, to sexism at work.
This is part one of the three-part series 'Women For Women' published in eShe's September 2018 issue

Doctor Code-Zode M. Ekkage, AKA Doctor CZ, is an Alternate UUniversal Numcep from Planet Luiter. He is a pachycephalosaur-like dinosaur who is the evil twin brother of Doctor Zode, and is not only insane, but is more so than his twin brother. He is a mad scientist who resides on Luiter in a quarantined area called the Zombie Hive where he declared himself the leader. Starting out with a task to provide medical care for the people of his hometown through the Ansher Corporation that specializes in military medical and defense technology, being among their best scientists in the Beofynzeny System. However, not too long after Awesome Jaxtom took over, he tried to make the cure for death in a project called the Luvius Project, named after the Yatoran saint who stole unlimited healing technology from the Gods, despite being ordered out of it because of concerns by the Globex Confederation of Corporations, but he disobeyed them because he was trying to cure his cryogenically-frozen wife. But when they threatened to shut his project down and fire him, in response to his wife being killed by accident, his anger caused the imbalanced serum to mix with other chemicals and create a zombie serum, turning him into a half-zombie, and the executives into zombies. In response to his wife's death, he nearly infected the entire Ansher Corporation until they fled, leaving the area he infected to be the Zombie Hive that is highly-quarantined, especially since it was on an island. Sometime after this, he decided experimenting with his newfound power and started reanimating dead workers with assistants that ended up getting eaten 55 times. He ended up planning to create an army of zombies by distributing the serum in the form of pills everywhere, infecting many into getting dumped into his turf. One time, seeing a money-making opportunity, he decided to create an antidote for the zombie epidemic based on Skrag DNA. Unfortunately, the antidote was a failure, and only turned the users into Wereskrags, which he then added to his army. With the area abandoned and all its inhabitants killed and reanimated, CZ sat back and watched as warrior after warrior tried and failed to defeat the undead horde. It seemed that his plan was foolproof, but it wouldn't be for long as some concern would hire people undeterred by his power. He is the AUU parallel to Borderlands Dr. Ned, and is just as insane and cunning.

- "If you want free medical treatment, visit my infirmary and get the miracles that put Saint Luvius' stolen miracine to shame."
- "Who needs Dr. Zode when you have Dr. Code?"
- "People trying to blast your nuts off? Buy a shield! And then buy health augmentation serums and any other super serums in the market for when the shield inevitably goes down and you really need it."
- "Oh come on, don't act like you've never had to wait on a turbolift during an evil outbreak before!"
- "I probably went about this all the wrong way. I'm a doctor, and I make people better. I just wanted everyone to be okay, but ethics decided to say what should be controlled and what shouldn't be controlled! It's people like them that give science a bad name! Angry, I accidentally made the zombies. I was never as good as my totally-not-made-up brother, Zode, and we're totally different people. Ah, I need a drink."
- "Damn, I need a drink. My liver is crying out in perfect health over here!"
- "Thanks for gettin' back out there and risking your life while I sit back in safety up here and issue asinine directives. Nah, I'm just kidding, obviously you're expendable."
- "Well, look what the skag dragged in."
- "Well, well. Looks like you're worth your weight not getting killed, after all."
- "Wipe your feet. Just 'cause it's the apocalypse doesn't mean you ain't need your manners."
- "Try not to hurt your girl parts on the multitudes of minions I've set upon you!"
- "Do you need a band-aid?"
- "I'm baking brownyes, you want one? Oh s***, wait, I forgot about me trying to shove you off this mortal coil. Can't be givin' brownyes to just any justice-driven d-wad now can I? Hey, you know if zombies like brownyes?"
- "Alright, what's Ansher paying you? I'd offer to double it, but I'm poor as dirt after spending every cent I had into the recreational use of the undead as money makers. So far, not diggin' my plan in hindsight."
- "You smell like popseeds! Now I'm pissed!"

This painting was inspired by the background rather than the subject. While traveling in my pickup one late November afternoon, with the sun low on the horizon, I was struck by the warm highlights raking the surface of the snow covered stubble field and the cool contrasts created in the shadows. Wow, wouldn't it be nice to see a huge whitetail buck in that scene, thus "North Country Monarch" was born.

In the heart of Downtown Hazleton, at Broad and Wyoming streets, stands a grand reminder of the city's past as well as an icon of its future.
It was saved from the wrecking ball in 2001 by local businessman George F. Hayden. He formed the Hazleton Development Company and purchased the Markle Building with the help of assistance from the city and the state through Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta and then-Governor Tom Ridge. Today it is the Hayden Tower at the Markle.
Constructed as the Markle Banking & Trust Company Building, the building marked its 100th anniversary in 2010.
It is home to many commercial, retail and professional offices...

Document - DNR Middle Fork Snoqualmie Support Letter
AbstractAmerican Whitewater is writing in enthusiastic support of the proposal to designate 10,270 acres of Department of Natural Resources (DNR) managed lands as the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Natural Resources Conservation Area (NRCA) in King County. The Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River and its upland forests are ecologically significant, and through the Wild and Scenic River study process the river itself, including the section that passes through DNR-managed lands, has been identified as possessing outstanding remarkable values of regional and national significance that include fishery resources, wildlife habitat, and recreation. The DNR managed lands are contiguous with federal lands identified for long-term conservation which will collectively result in more than 30,000 acres of newly protected lands contiguous with the existing Mt. Si NRCA and Alpine Lakes Wilderness.

VCD Athletic exited the FA Trophy as a well organised Tonbridge Angles team dominated the first half and benefited from the football gods in the second.
Tony Russell's best laid plans were disrupted in the 20th minute when Ellis Green looked to have damaged a hamstring and was replaced by Sean Roberts.
Half-time was looming as Tonbridge took the lead in the 43rd minute.
The nimble Billy Matlock reacted quickest from a corner and finished from close range as the VCD defence glared at the linesman for a foul that never came.
VCD went 4-4-2 after the break and although chances materialised, as so often is the case this season they went begging.
In the final minute, a rasping shot from Leigh Bremner rebounded off the post and from the resulting counter attack, Flavio Tavares scored for Angels with a superb curling 20-yard effort which nestled in the bottom left hand corner.
VCD: Blue, McDonagh (Cox 52), Basey, Reeves, Tozer, Dawson, Carpenter, Dent, Power, Perkins (Bremner 64) , Green ( Roberts 20). Unused subs – Penfold,, Deen. Att: 156.

Maybe you don't fully believe that, but I know it to be a fact.
There's something inteeresting about everyone.
And it matters a lot, when it comes to writing daily emails and finding topics for them.
And what is that 'thing' that's interesting?
The things you care about.
And everyone cares about something.
Obviously, not everyone will care about the same things as you do, which is a good thing.
Those who do, they'll be interested in what you have to say about the things you are interested in.
Or let's put it differently:
Interesting people are interested in things and other people, and folks who are interested in others are interesting to those others.
So when it comes to finding topics for emails, keep it siumple.
Don't overthink it.
Anything, literally, can be a topic.
All you need to do is make sure you write *for the other*, even if you're writing about yourself.
And in most cases, simply writing about what you care about, the things you notice, that what inspires you is enough.
Point is, for daily emails to help your business, you don't need to deliver in-depth high-quality epistles.
A little message, as if talking to a friend.
Also called a 'barstool conversation'.
You meet someone in a park or at a bar or somewhere else, and they ask you a question about your work or your interests.
And without any hassle, you answer their question.
Write like that.
Write freely, without censoring or editing yourself – write as if you talk.
Just like I do each day.
About whatever you feel will help or inspire or entertain your reader.
Do that, and end with a friendly invitation to work with you or buy whatever your business provides.
Email marketing really is that simple – unless you make it complicated, and why would you do that?
As for that 'pitch' at the end?
Like this for example: if you want to learn email marketing in a 1 on 1, 3-month training program, I can help you with me Starship Mentorprise program.
It's not cheap, but it will change your life and your business forever.

Review: Though we have never sat down to enjoy a full meal, Mayahuel is worth the trip to the East Village for the cocktails alone. In the middle of the East Village, just off 2nd Ave., lies a mecca for fun and original tequila and mezcal cocktails. With a plethora of options to choose from it's tough to go wrong. We have nibbled on snacks like spicy popcorn and chips and guac that were a nice treat to accompany our drinks. Those ordering full meals around us were waiving in sizzling plates of shrimp and succulent pork belly..looks like we are going to have to show up with the intention of sampling the fare and not just the libations! A dark and cozy bar with a couple side rooms lends itself to a great spot for a quiet conversation, though, like many of the cocktail establishments in the EV, there can be a wait (normally not TOO bad), but dont let it deter you from the chance to transport your palate to some place south of the boarder.
Address: 113 E. 29th St. (Park Ave. S. & Lexington Ave.)

Review: Continuing with the transformation of Murray Hill, this beacon of meat, cheese and beer has arrived on the scene. But Cannibal does not have the cold cuts and bud lights of college dorm days past, rather an array of salumi and aged hams, carefully selected cheese and a selection of craft beers from brewers worldwide. We ended our night here for some late night grub and some suds. We sat at the bar and were served by the very friendly and helpful barkeep who pointed us in the right direction for both our food and drink orders. So long as you don't go crazy you can get your fill on a tasty selection with out feeling the pain in your wallet. Cannibal is a good option for a first date for sure – start with some small plates to see how things go, then move on to something bigger if all is well. Plus you can always judge a person by what drink they order from their massive selection!
Address: 712 3rd Ave. (44th & 45th St.)
Link: http://bierhausnyc.com/
Review: Located in Midtown East, not to far from Grand Central, is one of our favorite watering holes. Though the German food they make is authentic and generally pretty tasty, you come here for the beers, and lots of them, ranging from 1/2 liters all the way up to the sizeable 2 liter boot! You can come here with some buddies for a boozy night or some polka and hops. Bierhaus could be a fun date spot for the outgoing and beer swilling, but is better served for a large group of pals ready to gulp down some of Bavaria's finest.
Address: 252 E. 51st St. (2nd & 3rd Ave.)
Link: http://www.thestagsheadnyc.com/
Review: The Stag's Head is our new local watering hole. It's a great place to go grab a craft beer from their impressive selection – they have 16 rotating beers on tap and 50+ in bottles that you won't likely find elsewhere. Though we have yet to have dinner here, we have gotten a couple small plates which always go well with some tasty cold beers (who wouldn't love truffle popcorn!) The staff is super helpful in breaking down the diverse selection so you can find what you're looking for. This isn't a sports bar per se, but TV's dot the walls so you won't miss the game while you're trying out some new beers. Grab a spot in the back, upstairs or out in the garden if you're looking to cozy up to that special someone away from the bar.
Address: 212 W. 79th St. (Broadway & Amsterdam)
Link: http://blondiessports.com/
Review: Blondies is worth the trip to the UWS for the wings alone. With varying degrees of heat, you can choose just how far you want to go on the Scoville scale. This is one of the best sports bars in NYC with TVs EVERYWHERE. There are plenty of other food options available, but not many for those counting calories. With a good beer selection and prices that don't break the bank, this spot is a favorite for catching the game. If you and your date are both sports fanatics Blondies can be a ton of fun to check out, and of course it's always good to get a group of buddies and head here for Sunday Funday. FYI – Get there early on Sundays and for big sporting events as it tends to fill up quick!
Kingston Hall
Address: 149 2nd Ave. 2nd Floor (9th & 10th St.)

Review: Kingston Hall is a nice break from the chaos that can be the East Village bar scene. This sudo speakeasy is a great place to bring a date or a group (though avoid Thursday through Saturday for a date as it can get pretty loud/rowdy on weekends). There's comfy lounge seating, a pool table and a back room that's great for groups. Fun cocktails give Kingston Hall a classier feel than the standard East Village bar catering to the beer swilling masses.
Wilfie & Nell
Address: 228 W. 4th St. (7th Ave. S. & W. 10th St.)
Link: http://wilfieandnell.com/
Review: Wilfie & Nell is a great local bar in the West Village. It's got that old tavern look and feel which attracts hipsters and suits alike. It's a great spot to meet a date or grab some drinks with your pals after work or on the weekends. They have a good selection of craft beers and specialty cocktails to choose from. We have yet to try the food here, which consists of somewhat upscale pub fare, but definitely want to make a trip back for their brunch ($5 bloody mary's!) It can get pretty crowded/loud on weekends so only take a date here for drinks during the week if you want to be able to hear what they're saying!
Top Hops
Address: 94 Orchard St. (Broome St. & Delancey St.)
Link: http://tophops.com/
Review: Top Hops is a relatively new spot in the LES with an insanely huge selection of beers. You can choose from over 20 rotating beers on tap and 700 bottles from around the world. Thankfully, there's a friendly, knowledgeable bartender to help you navigate the many great offerings. Whether you are a beer connoisseur or you and your date want to try something new, this is an awesome spot. They have tons of off the run beers you aren't likely to find in many other bars. They also have some small bar snacks/cheese plates and if you find a beer you absolutely love, they can fill up a growler for you to take home! Definitely a must try for all the beer drinkers out there.
Rare View
Address: 152 W. 26th St. (6th & 7th Ave.)
*Location also in Chelsea
Link: http://rarebarandgrill.com/rareview.php?page=lexington
Review: The Rare View rooftop is a good spot to bring a date in the spring/summertime. Both locations have amazing, romantic views of the Manhattan skyline, though the Chelsea location has a little bigger space. It's the perfect spot to have a cocktail in the summer, as long as it's not 100 degrees out – there's no shade at the Murray Hill location so it can get pretty hot when the sun is still out. The cocktails are pretty pricey – about $15 per cocktail, but you'll always have to pay a premium at bars with great views of Manhattan. Be warned that Thursdays get pretty busy after work and late night, so it might be hard to snag a table.
Beekman Beer Garden
Address: 89 South St. (South St. Seaport)
Link: http://www.beekmanbeergarden.com/
Review: The Beekman Beer Garden has amazing views and a decent craft beer selection. It's a great place to grab a beer after a long day of work and watch the sunset with your date. There's a mixed crowd of tourists and businessmen given the seaport location and it can get super packed in nice weather, but if you can get there early enough and grab a table or couch Beekman can be the perfect, romantic spot to have a few drinks before heading to dinner. Though later at night on the weekends it's less of a romantic spot and more of a get drunk with your buddies type of place. Also when we went, even though it was fairly empty, the service was slow and not frienldy with one person manning the whole show and a manager helping at times. If I hadn't been here before I would've thought this place was getting by on location and view alone.
Address: 24 W. 12th St. (5th Ave. & University Pl.)
Link: http://www.standburger.com/
Review: In the mood for some burgers and milkshakes? If you don't want to wait on the crazy lines at Shake Shack and want some more variety when it comes to your burger toppings then head to Stand4 in Greenwich Village. You can create your own burger or choose from one of the 14 pre-made options. The milkshakes are fantastic, and the best part is, they have boozy options too! You can also catch the game on their big screen tv and they have some good craft beers on tap if you're not in the mood for a boozy milkshake (but why would't you be?) Stand4 is definitely a fun date spot if you're not calorie counting.
Mason Jar
Address: 45 E. 30th St. (Madison Ave. & Park Ave.)
Link: http://www.masonjarny.com/
Review: The Mason Jar falls flat on the brunch front. We came here to have some brunch while catching the football playoffs. The menu has your standard brunch items, some with a little southern flair. The food wasn't terrible but it was nothing memorable. Also, the service was insanely slow for there only being 4 other tables occupied in the whole place. The Mason Jar is definitely better served as a sports bar, solely a spot to grab some beers, bourbon and wings with your bros while watching the game.
Rodeo Bar
Address: 375 3rd Ave. (at 27th St.)
Link: http://www.rodeobar.com/
Review: If you're in the mood to booze and eat bar food Rodeo Bar is a solid choice in Murray Hill. Good for a cheap margarita or beer and some nachos, quesadillas or cowboy kisses (shrimp and jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon). They also have a surprisingly decent brunch and usually have live music in the back room. Rodeo Bar is a throw your peanuts on the floor type of place so not an ideal spot to impress a date but a good spot to get drunk and pig out with a group of buddies.
Address: 13 E. 17th St. (Broadway & 5th Ave.)
Link: http://lilliesnyc.com/HOME.html
Review: Initially we were headed to Rye House but waited WAY too long for drinks so we walked back down the block to Lillie's. Lillie's is a great spot to grab beers around Union Square. It's a little nicer than your Brother Jimmy's/13th Step with a decent, somewhat fratty crowd. Plus, they have really good bar food if you get the drunk munchies! Grab your significant other and all your buddies and head here after work on Thursday nights or over the weekend.
Stone Creek
Address: 140 E. 27th St. (Lexington & 3rd Ave.)
Link: http://www.stonecreeknyc.com/
Review: Stone Creek is a good spot to jump in, catch the game and have a beer. It's a small neighborhood bar with pretty good food for how divey it seems. They also have a fun Wednesday night trivia night so definitely grab a group of your mutual friends and stop in on Wednesdays to get your trivia on and have a fun, atypical night out with your date and your friends.
Half King
Address: 505 W. 23rd St. (10th & 11th Ave.)
Link: http://www.thehalfking.com/
Review: The Half King is perfect for anything post- Chelsea Piers area. This is our drink spot after the boyfriend's hockey games. It's a great neighborhood bar with surprisingly awesome food for a bar – specifically great wings and mac and cheese. There's a fun lively crowd most nights of the week, a decent beer selection and it's a good spot for a big group/your sports teams. So after your date watches you tear up the ice, court or soccer field, bring them here for some good eats and to meet all your buddies.
Vertigo (now Brewhouse)
Address: 354 3rd Ave. (25th & 26th St.)
Link: http://www.vertigobarnewyork.com/
Review: When you're looking for a sports bar to watch the game with your buddies, Brewhouse is a good option. They have a good beer selection and decent bar food/appetizers – basically the kind of food you would expect from a bar. The bartender is always really nice and they have multiple big screen tvs. While its not a date spot, if you're both into sports you can come here to catch the game with all your friends.
Brother Jimmy's
Address: 181 Lexington Ave. (at 31st St.)
*Locations also in Union Square, Upper East Side, Upper West Side and Midtown West
Link: http://www.brotherjimmys.com/
Review: Ahh Brother Jimmy's. The boyfriend and I met here and it's definitely not a date spot – we like to say we fell in love in a hopeless place. This is the type of bar you come to to chug cheap PBRs or down fishbowls with your buddies. It's a sloppy mess of newly minted NY bros and chicks. Bro J's is always a scene in the summer so get there early or the line will be around the block. Obviously it's not a spot to bring a date but if you, your significant other and all your friends are looking to celebrate, Bro J's is a good choice. So grab all your buddies, get sloshed and enjoy some awesome southern BBQ to soak up some of that alcohol.
Address: 450 Park Ave. S. (30th & 31st St.)
Link: http://www.ps450.com/
Review: Steer clear of PS450 unless you're here for a party. There's a good bar scene but not the greatest brunch food. The boyfriend got sick after eating here and while they have cheap prices for brunch, its not worth it – there are much better brunch places in the area. Never tried the dinner here but can't imagine it'd be much better, plus if you can botch something as easy as brunch I wouldn't trust the dinner menu. So unless you're grabbing beers with friends, we do not recommend PS450.

People Born in Malibu
coming soon
Malibu in People's Lives
Adrien Grenier: I have visited here numerous times, most notably in 2007, when I stayed at Paris Hilton's mansion here. I insisted to the press that I was staying with her for research on a documentary about the paparazzi that I was making. However, this documentary never ended up being made.
Ireland Baldwin: I went to rehab here in 2015, reportedly due to emotional trauma, though the center is known to specialize in drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Word eventually leaked out that I had been checked in forcefully by my parents (some even said I had been taken in "kicking and screaming") for excessive partying and alcohol intake. I stayed here about a month, and met a nice guy named Jon here, who I started dating. A few months later, while walking by the beach with Jon, I was attacked and beaten by three men, and sported bruises for the next few days.
Keira Knightley: I traveled here in 2011 to film scenes of the movie Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
Liam Neeson: I traveled here in 2011 to film scenes of the movie Taken 2. We filmed at the Malibu Pier.
Michael Fassbender: I traveled here in 2010 to film scenes of the movie Haywire.
Miley Cyrus: I was here constantly from 2006 - 2011, filming episodes of the TV show Hannah Montana. The house that much of the series took place in was on Broad Beach Road. Now, I own a home here.
Whitney Port: I often visit here for photoshoots, relaxation, and vacations.

Gentlemen, there is a wealth factor for entrepreneurism that escapes most African Americans men, hint, it's not a six-figure salary, stocks, bonds, CD's, mutual funds, 401K's, or any such instrument promoted by the architects of control, no, it's none of the above nor is it any of the corporate, banking, stock market, or government controlled financial time bombs forced upon the masses. It is however a technology available to the privy few, this wealth technology is not exclusive, the privy factor speaks to the fact that few are willing to learn the technical specifics and its functionalities to create wealth through this technology platform currently available at your fingertips today.
This technology is creating more millionaires then most of the top twenty wealth index rating categories which include: tech firms, hedge funds, traders, and investment banking, this profession ranks right alone with these six, seven even eight figure income professions.
What is this technology?
The technology is called Crypto-Currency, this technology essentially creates digital money which can be used like any other money or currency, you can use the digital currency exactly the way you would use a credit card, debit card, or cash, and it is 100% legal. And best of all, no government on earth controls it or produces it, crypto-currencies are created by digital miners, these miners build, buy, and share specialized computers designed with powerful ASIC chips with greater than super computer speed and hashing power to solve complex mathematical problems, and once the problem is solved a block is created which is the reward to the miner, and that block value can vary from $10k to $100k or more.
The more blocks created and mined, the greater the reward, this is a simple explanation to a complex industry, the reason being is that there are quite a few crypto-currencies, but only a few are solid crypto-currencies. The industry is also one of the fastest growing employment industries in the world today that very few people know about. Let's look at some of the employment and self-employment opportunities available in the crypto-currency industry:
The Crypto-Currency Bitcoin specific jobs which did not exist before:
• Multisig and script developers
• Microtransaction engineers
• JavaScript crypto developers
• UX/UI designers specializing in user-only security (Cryptocurrencies are among the few setups where only the users must have access to his private keys. very difficult to design around that.)
• Crypto asset specific traders
• Bitcoin crowdfunding and consulting (several models exist, all unique to currencies)
• Specific ASIC chip designing jobs/companies
• Mining pool operators
• Bitcoin gambling service operators
• TOR market operators
• Bitcoin multisig escrow agents
• Crypto specializing lawyers (all these startups need to get advice somewhere!)
• Cryptocurrency exchanges
• Cryptocurrency ETF operators
• Cryptocurrency ATM providers and identity verification services
• Cryptocurrency fraud detection services
• BitShares delegates
• Ripple and Bitshares gateways
• Ripple and Bitshares market makers (liquidity providers)
• Cryptocurrency exchange arbitrators
• All those cryptocurrency startups jobs
• And much more
• Future jobs we expect to open up soon:
• Open Transactions federated server operators
• Crypto asset rating agencies (stocks, bonds, and all kinds of new assets)
• Crypto contract lawyer. A mix between lawyer and crypto developer
• Decentralized identity verification services (Like centralized certificate
Also, African American men must also learn this industry and its technologies thoroughly and completely, as Asians and Caucasians are currently blazing the path in this industry with over twenty-seven billion dollars in market cap, this industry is wide open for a takeover in growth and innovation regarding two of the industry's biggest problems which are:
Security: The ability to secure crypto-currency theft at exchanges which are trading platforms, as well as other forms of crypto currency movement across the web.
Loss: recovering lost crypto-currencies regardless of the circumstances
While security of crypto-currencies has improved dramatically, recovering lost crypto-currencies is still far off from becoming a reality within the crypto-currency industry.
This introduction is simply to make African American Men aware of the great wealth available to them throughout this industry, study this industry two hours a day for 30 days, and you will learn the industry.
This topic is a three-part series, so look for part two and three which will provide greater details of how African American Men can become wealthy through crypto-currency entrepreneurism. In the meantime checkout these two links.

What is a Cliff Gaff and Do I Need One?Dear Captain"Why is it that we do not see more of the cliff gaff used as opposed to the grapple gaff when pier fishing?" Dear Captain "I fish a lot from piers and heard of a "Cliff" gaff. Do I need one? And what is the difference between the bridge gaff I use now and this thing?"
The main reason that cliff gaffs aren't used that much on piers is because they were made for cliff fishing and there are not many rock cliffs here in Florida. The hooks on cliff gaff points face in, so they do not get caught on rocks as you drag the fish up and gaff against the rocks.
In states out west and rocky countries with high rock bluffs, the cliff gaff is very popular. This gaff is far more popular in our southern waters where rock cliffs are nowhere to be found.
Here is a cliff gaff:
The Pier Gaff hook points face out, this is perfect for piers and bridges with no rocks. That's the image we used for the article. The cliff gaff's name alone has the tendency to make only cliff anglers buy it.

Hi I'm Bob, Sandy's husband. Nobody would know this but I once worked at Chicago's Woodfield Mall selling gourmet cookware at Williams Sonoma. The store manager hired me -- not because I knew anything about cookware -- but because she knew I'd be friendly and welcoming to all who came in. That's about the sum total of my skill set.
I do have a few other skills that Sandy values. I can go get coffee and food. I'm also really good at cleaning the undersides of old pieces of furniture and rusty metal things. That said, it was fun to go from my regular work behind-the-scenes ... and get out there where I could welcome and smile at real customers (see previous description of my skills).
Of course, I tried as much as possible never to let Sandy actually leave this booth. That would have left me all alone there... and it would have caused me to radically change all the pricing ... to declare to everyone... that everything was momentarily "free of charge" because the whole selling thing was freaking me out. Then again, having put so much "sweat equity" into rhubarb reign, I now have a better appreciation for assigning some sort of value to what we do.
I also see how demanding it is for Sandy to go through show set-up, show selling and show tear-down. And as always, it stormed and I got REALLY, REALLY WET. Then again, having a good attitude is one of my few skills. So that was okay as we huddled for like two hours in the back of rhubarb reign's trailer.
Last photo is a detail of my favorite piece from this show -- an excellent child's mannequin that we bought last weekend in Ohio. Check back later this week for an update on all things KANE! xo

My New Life
This is one of those videos that just makes you want to keep going…
Life and love really can and should be forever.
This is one of those videos that just makes you want to keep going…
Life and love really can and should be forever.
I stand corrected on my post, Celebrity (???) Look-a-like. After posting it, my sister, Shelly Hathaway, commented on Facebook, explaining that I got it all wrong. Well, I like her correction – since I'm not a big fan of Warren Jeffs. She then proceeded to tell me who I really was, along with who all the kids in my family are. I Googled the celebrities she said, and she's spot-on! Holy cow! I guess I'm just from a celebrity family! Here's the celebrity list for me and my siblings:
Shane: David Dochovny (X-Files)
Ria: Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Me: Jimmy Stewart (Yes! That guy rocks! Good ol' George Bailey – and Mr. Smith)
Shelly: Avril Lavigne
Jake: Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
So who do you and you're family members look like? Is your family as celebritous as mine?
Anyone who hasn't seen Muppet Treasure Island is missing out on a treasure indeed! All in all, probably the best Muppet movie yet.
The most pointless (and thus probably the best) part of the show is when the wind stops, the sun beats down, and the whole crew of pirates comes down with cabin fever.
Enjoy! Oh, and just for you random Portuguese speakers, there are subtitles for you on this version. Have to love Youtube!
You can probably imagine why these videos made me think of Toodles and Lunch Bucket. These guys know what play is really about. Play them full-screen if you want the full effect…

This is a contest! I have recorded 6 flute tunes, and you can use whatever means you need to figure out the correct answers. The first person to list all 6 tunes (or what movie they're from) gets 3 free MP3s of their choice from my Dayspring CD. I will personally email them to you.
Give your answer by leaving a comment with your guesses. If you already have my CD, you're welcome to play anyway! You can give the MP3s to someone else if you'd like.

This morning Lunch Bucket REALLY wanted to watch a movie, but she's been watching a lot of movies lately.
"Baba, can I watch a movie?"
"Lunch Bucket, I think you've watched enough movies lately. There are lots of other fun things to do."
"No Baba," she said in her favorite whiny voice, "I want to watch a movie."
"But Lunch Bucket, why do you want to WATCH a movie when you could MAKE a movie?"
She looked at me for a minute, still with a pouty expression, but I could see the curiosity in her eyes.
"It's much funner to make a movie than to watch a movie. Come here, and I'll show you how to do it." And I jumped up and ran to her room.
She hesitated. I think she was afraid of getting duped into something.
"Come on, Punkin, I'll show you – it will be fun!" She again hesitated, but slowly crept into the bedroom, where I was quickly stacking blocks into the walls of a castle.
"See?" I said, "I'm making a castle. What toy should we use for the princess?"
She just stared at me, so I grabbed a doll – everything was readily accessible, since her room was a mess. "This will be princess… what's the princess's name?"
"Okay… Princess doll. This is Princess Doll sitting on her throne in the castle of… what should the name of the castle be?"
She mumbled a few inaudible words that I couldn't understand, but I went with it.
"Okay. This is Princess Doll in the castle of Ahvheeravooda." Then in a teen-girl-squad voice, I said, "I'm Princess doll, and I'm very happy, sitting on my throne." Then in my normal voice, "Now we need a bad guy. Someone who wants to ruin everything."
"I don't want a bad guy."
"Oh, but we have to have a bad guy. Otherwise it's not a movie! We could have…" I held up a plush chicken, "Crazy chicken! Or…" I held up a rubber ducky. ".. the ducky of DOOOOOM! Or how about…" I grabbed a lanky plush monkey, "The monkey of MAAAAAAAAADNESS!"
Now she was starting to get into the game a bit.
We decided on the monkey, who turned out to be a villain who kidnaps princesses. Lunch Bucket wasn't too fond of that part.
"No! Don't put her in the dungeon!"
"Ha Ha!" the Monkey of Madness replied, "I WILL put her in a dungeon!"
"Quick, Lunch Bucket," I said, "find someone to save her!"
She stared at me blankly for a moment.
"It's part of the movie. You need someone to save her. Who could save her?"
She looked around a little unsure what she was looking for.
"Look, there's someone!" I said, "Pink pony can save her!"
Lunch Bucket grabbed Pink Pony, who is actually a unicorn. Then swooping into the dungeon (somehow), she grabbed the princess and galloped her back to the safety of the castle.
Lunch Bucket was so excited about the story, she wanted to do another. This time, in order to avoid making the monkey a permanent bad-guy, we made him the protagonist in a story about why we must be careful when we throw things.
That's one of the amazing things about children – their imagination is as real and vivid as any movie.

Mortgages: Why All Those Questions
Are Important
My (almost) 4 year-old grandson, Henry, is the most inquisitive kid I've ever run across. At times, Henry's little mind comes up with questions faster than his lips can spit 'em out ...
Henry constantly peppers me with questions when we're together. And let me tell you, his "Pop Pop" loves every minute of it. Asking questions is a great way for him to learn.
Many of my borrowers are much the same. Especially when they're first-time home buyers.
Most borrowers want to know:
- Can I get approved for a loan?
- What info will you need from me?
- How much home can I buy?
- How much money can I borrow?
- What kind of down payment do I need?
- How soon can I buy?
- What will my monthly mortgage payment be?
- and more ...
I think asking questions is good and it's a great way for them to learn ... just as it is with my grandson.
Today's Mortgage Process ... should start with a conversation and should include your thoughts, plans, and hopes as you enter your home buying process. And that conversation should also include LOTS and LOTS of questions. A real exchange and volley of them.
During that initial conversation (often to the dismay of many potential buyers), questioning should go both ways.
Fact is, I'll probably end-up asking you just as many questions as you ask me.
Why? First, it's the nature of home lending today. Lenders are required to have a lot of info, backed-up by proof in the form of documentation. As a result, I must know you and your complete financial/credit position inside out.
And how do I accomplish that? By asking questions!
It's a Fact: These days, buyers (or those refinancing) must expect and be prepared for questions from their Loan Officer and their Underwriters. And be willing to answer them fully.
It's also True: The more questions I ask you upfront or early in the process, the more clearly and thoroughly I know and understand your needs, personal background, credit, and finances.
That means I can help and guide you better throughout your entire mortgage process. It also means I can proactively address many issues that might come up during underwriting.
So all those questions? I know often they're not portrayed as such ... but they actually are a positive thing.
Preparation is key ... to the success you'll find when applying for your mortgage. Preparing for the questions ahead of time helps you move through them more quickly and easily.
To prepare yourself and get a jump-start on your mortgage Pre-Approval and/or application, click HERE. You'll find my handy list of the info/documentation typically needed at that time. If you start gathering the info now it'll prove very beneficial when we speak.
Bottomline: Don't fear hearing or asking questions. Bring 'em on!
