Weekend getaway :: Portland, Maine
Happy Thursday! I recently returned from a fun weekend trip to Portland, Maine. The hubs and I were celebrating our anniversary and have always wanted to visit Maine so we finally booked a last minute trip, yay! Old Portland is quaint, lined with cobblestone streets, cute storefronts and the people are friendly.
I'm sharing my favorite places to eat, shop, sightsee and late night drinks in Old Portland. During our stay we also visited Old Orchard Beach and Kennebunkport. Old Orchard Beach is a fun family friendly community with a nice beach, restaurants, shops and a fun amusement park. It's definitely a great place to visit with kids and teens or if you want to feel like a kid again and ride the ferris wheel like I did! Kennebunkport is by far my favorite beach community. It's quaint, feels secluded, has great restaurants and Goose Rock Beach has the softest sand.
We had lunch at the Tides Beach Club in Kennebunkport and fell in love with this place. It's designed by Jonathan Adler and it's light airy feel is welcoming. It's the perfect setting to lounge on the front lawn or porch sipping a yummy cocktail. Goose Rock Beach is right across the street which makes the Tides Beach Club the ideal location for a romantic beach getaway.
Here is a list of my favorites places in Old Portland:
1.The North Point - Great food and drinks and away from the crowds.
2. DuckFat- Delicious sandwiches.
3. Holy Donut- OMG...I can't say enough about these donuts. Made of potatoes, they are a must and make sure to be there before 1p.m because they sell out everyday. My favorite is the dark chocolate sea salt donut.
4. Vena's Fizz House- Great mocktails and cocktails.
5. Commercial Street Shops- Cute shops, a mix of local and national brands.
6. Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse- Beautiful place for a picnic, photos and taking in the beauty of the Maine coast.
7. Portland Lobster Company-Yummy fresh lobster rolls and local beers.
8. Shipyard Brewery-Maine's largest brewery, their beer is unique. Make sure to tour the brewery while you're there.
9. Portland Schooner-We didn't have time to take the schooner cruise but it's a beautiful sail and you can bring wine and snacks to enjoy during your sail.
10. Sweetgrass Distillery-We stopped in for a wine and gin tasting and left with a delicious blueberry dessert wine. Oh and you get to keep the cutest tasting glass.
Portland, Maine and the surrounding area are beautiful and will make a sweet getaway. I highly recommend visiting and make sure to plan out your stay beforehand so you have enough time to do everything on your list. Happy traveling!

Nudists fucking older women outdoors *** . . I shot these pics of my wife as she was heading outside from our condo to the car. You see, I had her dress in this ensemble and then had her get to the car in order that I could drive across town and have her flash other guys. The only difficulty was that not one of the darn pics came out good enough to post. Now I told her we'd need to do it again. She's a lot more than willing, so with a little bit of luck I am able to post them soon! I also learned from the pics that she needs to be the one driving, so that I will get the very best pics of her flashing.

TV and radio personality Danny Bonaduce, best known for his role on the early 1970s television show "The Partridge Family," will serve as the Grand Marshal of this year's Tour de Terrace parade.

Cars today are full of nice-to-haves. You know, those extra touches that make a drive more exhilarating and comfortable, the details that make a car more than four wheels and bucket seats. These nice-to-haves are fun to have, but there's one thing that's always a must have and that's safety. After all, driving is a privilege and it's important the cars we drive are safe for everyone onboard and everyone on the road.
The folks at Honda understand the importance of comprehensive vehicle safety and are committed to developing technologies that go beyond government regulations. For example, the Honda-exclusive body design known as ACE™ Body Structure, enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions by distributing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.
In a Honda you can drive confidently knowing your safety is Honda's highest priority. Read on for more safety technologies brought to you by the folks at Honda.
Multiple Airbags
First, remember that wearing a seat belt is your primary mode of protection in any crash. That being said, every Honda is equipped with Advanced Front Airbags to help protect you in the event of a collision. Select models are equipped with SmartVent® front side airbags and side curtain airbags with rollover sensor.
Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines
Specially placed cameras allow you to get a better view of what's behind you with three different angles: normal, top-down, and wide.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
LDW can detect unindicated lane departures from detected lanes. Alerts will flash and sound to help bring your attention to correcting the lane drift.
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
If your vehicle is detected as drifting too close to the side of the road while driving 45–90 mph without a turn signal activated, RDM alerts you with rapid vibrations on the steering wheel. If you continue to leave the roadway, it can also apply steering torque and braking to help keep your vehicle in the detected lane.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Integrated with the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), FCW uses a small camera mounted at the top of the front windshield to detect the presence of vehicles in front of you. If the FCW system determines that you are at risk of a collision, audio and visual alerts are activated to warn you. If you fail to act, the CMBS applies brake pressure automatically.
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
Utilizing a millimeter wave radar sensor, CMBS helps bring your Honda to a stop when the system determines there is an unavoidable collision with a vehicle detected in front of you. A warning sounds and, if necessary, brake pressure is applied automatically.
Learn about your Honda's safety technologies at Dublin Honda. Stop by and speak to a member of our team. Let them know any questions you have about the safety features in your Honda and they'll show you how these features work. The sad (and avoidable) thing is many people just disable these safety technologies instead of learning how to use them. We're here to explain them to you so you feel comfortable driving with them, and can then drive confidently knowing you're enjoying a safer driving experience.
Stop by our Dublin showroom today and learn all about the safety features within your Honda.
Until next time–drive safely!

There's been a (quasi-controversial) resurgence of leggings as "real pants" in the past few years, forcing us to ask ourselves whether or not the body-con bottoms are a truly viable option to wear outside of the gym. With the right styling, the right attitude, and the right pair, our vote is yes, but as summer rolls around, we're wondering the same about leggings' not-as-long counterpart: the bike short.
When you think of bike shorts, the first word to pop into your head probably isn't "on-trend," but like leggings, bike shorts are no longer just for the gym (thank you, Kim Kardashian-West), and they're even easier to style than leggings. The key is to grab a pair with some length — it's more fashion-forward, and since the shorts don't go all the way down to your ankles (obviously; 'tis the nature of shorts), it makes navigating shoe selection so much easier. Leggings and heels? Most likely no. Bike shorts and heels? Kind of rad. Wear with a bomber, a leather jacket, or with an oversized T-shirt, and you're good to go.
Ahead, find our picks for taking this stretchy trend for a spin. Are you bold enough to try it out?

Shrinking Fish
Published: 07/02/2010
You've probably heard the story about "the big one that got away." Someone goes out fishing and claims to have caught a monster fish. There's no proof, though, because the fish managed to free itself before it could be landed. Whether or not the story is true, the chances of catching "the big one" seem to be getting worse and worse. In response to fishing pressures, fish are becoming smaller, growing more slowly, and having a harder time reproducing, says David O. Conover of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The average size of fish of many species has declined in recent years. That's not surprising. Smaller fish are more likely to squirm out of nets than larger ones. And laws often require that fish smaller than a certain size be returned to the sea. People tend to catch and keep the bigger, meatier ones. Fishing can also induce changes in fish that are passed on from generation to generation. To check this idea out, Conover grew several generations of Atlantic silversides in six aquarium tanks. In two of the tanks, he kept removing the biggest fish, to copy what commercial fishermen do in the ocean. He found that this caused each generation of fish to grow more slowly than the one that came before it. When Conover repeatedly removed the smallest fish from two other tanks, each generation grew more quickly than the previous one. When he removed fish at random, there was no change in how fast the fish of each generation grew. Taking only big fish penalizes fish that grow quickly. Removing these animals from the gene pool leads to breeds that grow more slowly and don't grow to be as large. To see if the trend is reversible, Conover then stopped fishing from his tanks. So far, it seems to take longer than expected for the fish to recover their earlier growth patterns. It's not practical to stop fishing altogether. Instead, Conover proposes that fishing boats be required to throw back the biggest fish along with the smallest ones. This would help preserve fast-growing fish. And your chances of catching "the big one" might actually improve.E. SohnShrinking Fish

Hey Reader,
For this post, I'm going to be using The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes as an example. This book is captivating and intriguing, pulling me in until the very end. Barnes has a twisted angle to tell her story and it all connects in the end. I read it in one sitting, and all I can say is that it's definitely something that I would read again. And again.
The Naturals is about a girl named Cassie who grew up with a mother who was a psychic. She learned from an early age to read people and pay attention to the little things and what they might mean about the people they relate to. It's all about reading the crowd. Her mother is murdered, and she goes to live with family. That is, until the FBI comes and offers to let her into the Naturals program. It's a secret program that is training kids with useful abilities like her to solve cold cases.
And this includes the son of a serial killer who is a profiler like Cassie and a pathological liar who can tell when someone is lying. A genius with numbers and a boy who can read emotions. They start off with cold cases, but that changes not long after Cassie comes along. Needless to say, this program leads to a lot more than any of them asked for.
There is one thing that stands out to me more than anything with this book. Even just the first chapter. Barnes takes murderers to a whole new level when she starts out writing chapters from the perspective of the killer… while they are killing. But throughout the entire book, you don't know who it is. The entire story is about trying to figure out who this is, and the reader has it worst. You aren't just reading from the murderer's perspective, but you become the murderer.
There are several books out there that take advantage of second person perspective, but this one takes the cake. There are short chapters throughout the book that start with the title, "You". These chapters are written like, "You've chosen and chosen well. Maybe this one will be the one who stops you. Maybe she'll be different. Maybe she'll be enough."
It's creepy. So creepy.
But it's also genius.
You'd think that you'd be able to guess the murderer because you are forced to think like them. But Barnes does it just right.
The book also does a great job with characterization. In the story, each character has their own personality and background that makes them unique. And it keeps you questioning, leading on to the rest of the trilogy. I find that a lot of authors tend to let their characters bleed together… I know I've had to go back and make changes because of this before.
My Challenge for you is to take something away from this book to help your own story. Is the perspective you used effective for telling your story? Are your characters bleeding together into one personality? Is there something unique that could help you to tell your story to your readers better?
Even if it is something that might make you rewrite the whole story, it might just be worth it. I've been close to scrapping an entire book to rewrite it before, and am still considering that for the first book I wrote (unpublished). But don't make any sudden decisions, though. Actually step back and think about it for a bit, because you might change your mind later.
Here are the Goodreads links if you want to look into the book or author:
Like this post if you liked it, and you can follow my website via email, WordPress, or any of the social media widgets on the side. If you are reading this on Goodreads, then you can follow me or add me as a friend!
Thank you for reading, and don't stop writing!

The 12th National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day (NHAAAD) will be observed on Wednesday, September 18. At year-end 2016, nearly half (48%) of all persons living with HIV in the U.S. were aged 50 and over. One-sixth of all new HIV diagnoses during 2016 were also among persons in this age group. According to the AIDS Institute, which launched NHAAAD in 2008, this awareness day "focuses on the challenging issues facing the aging population with regards to HIV prevention, testing, care, and treatment. In addition, there is an increased need for prevention, research, and data targeting the aging population, medical understanding of the aging process, and its impact on HIV/AIDS."
In particular, the NHAAAD campaign targets:
- people living with HIV/AIDS who are aging with the disease or already over 50 at the time of their initial diagnosis;
- increasing the use of protection from HIV infection, especially among the Baby Boomer population; and
- the increasing number of grandparents becoming the primary guardians for children who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS.
To help you and your patients or clients prepare for and mark NHAAAD, we have compiled an annotated list of online resources focusing on HIV/AIDS among older persons.

I have already alluded in previous posts to the troubles we had in getting to Iceland. A brief recap: our Delta flight from Charlotte to JFK was cancelled due to weather and the next available flight out was two days later, causing us to have to shorten our time in Iceland. Ironically, as we were milling around Charlotte for the extra day, I made the comment, "Could be worse. We could be stuck in JFK."
Dang. God does have a sense of humor. On the way back we got stuck in JFK.
The flight Delta finally put us on to get to Iceland had us going through Minneapolis, a seemingly strange route. However, if I ever have the good fortune to go back to Iceland, I will go this route. The Minneapolis terminal was state-of-the-art, with lots of room and row after row of tables with iPads available for travelers to easily access the Internet. Not only that, we flew IcelandAir from there, and a nicer airline I have yet to find!
Fast forward to the trip home. The Delta flight from Keflavik airport in Iceland arrived in JFK on time. That was the start of a long downhill slope. You would think a layover of almost two hours would be enough to catch a connecting flight. Of course not. Fifteen minutes to board and ride a bus on the tarmac to our terminal. We had to get our checked luggage to go through Customs but the baggage conveyor belt wasn't working correctly: lost 25 minutes. Long lines through Customs and then Security: another 25 minutes. Okay, it was my fault that we lost another five minutes as the Customs inspector inspected my sand, rocks, and bones. Then a long, fast hike through the airport to our gate: 20 minutes. When we arrived at the gate, we lost another five minutes trying to figure out where to go as three other gates were crammed into one little corner and masses of people milled around like so many confused sheep. Even so, we got up to the gate a full ten minutes ahead of departure time. So sorry. The gate was already closed. (in Airline Speak, this translates to: We sold your seats to somebody else.)
Delta rescheduled us for another flight departing that evening, about four hours later. We settled in, counting the pigeons that flew around the terminal who helped Delta with Crumb Control. Almost constant loudspeaker announcements kept us on our toes, as we had been told that our gate could change at any moment. Half an hour before departure, with no indication that our flight was yet boarding, I happened to look up on the departure board to notice that our flight was cancelled, apparently caused by mechanical difficulties this time. We called the Delta Help Line and after being put on hold for about half an hour we were given a flight the next morning to Atlanta and then to Charlotte, getting us there almost a day later than originally scheduled. Not being happy campers, we got back on the phone and persuaded them to get us on a USAir flight leaving at 6:15 am. Of course, they wouldn't give us back our luggage, holding it for ransom, forcing the hapless suitcases to make the trip to Atlanta, Charlotte, and then Augusta before being hand-delivered to us at our house.
Since at this point it was getting late and we would have to leave whatever hotel they put us up in at an obscene hour, we opted just to camp out in the airport. We hurriedly spent the food vouchers they gave us as all the restaurants were closing up shop and left the gate to find the USAir terminal. Bad move. USAir had closed up their check-in area for the evening, so we couldn't get to a secure area. (Wouldn't have been able to bring our drinks there anyway.) The only area available for us to hunker down in was the international terminal, so that is where we went. Apparently, JFK has something against people sitting down, so we walked around seemingly for hours before snagging some seats. And there we sat for the next six mind-numbing hours, alternately dozing and playing games on my iPod, which was rapidly losing battery power because JFK had so few outlets available for recharging. Oh, and did I mention that JFK does not have free wifi? Future archeologists will shake their heads in wonder at the primitive conditions we endured there.
Back at the USAir check-in area by 3:30am, and finally on the plane at 6:15 and out like a light. When my eyes opened, we were on the ground in Charlotte. I felt like kissing the tarmac.
I'm glad Delta cancelled our flights. I wouldn't want to fly in bad weather or in a jet that wasn't working right. And I shouldn't complain. Lindberg would have been ecstatic to get across the ocean and back as easily as we did. However, it did seem like Delta and JFK could have arranged their systems and terminals to be a bit more people-friendly. Only the pigeons seemed truly happy.
But our trials getting to and from Iceland only served to highlight the wonderful time we had driving around Iceland. Although plenty of alternative methods of travel were available (hitchhiking, bicycling, RVing, and bus tours of every kind imaginable), we found that our rental car and arrangement through IcelandGuest gave us the freedom and flexibility we enjoy along with the structure of a planned tour. And no, we aren't paid to say that.
Driving in Iceland, to my mind, is not nearly as intimidating as driving in England. Icelanders drive on the right side of the road. (Britains, of course, are on the wrong side.) There is very little traffic. So little, as a matter of fact, that the only places we found with actual stop signs and traffic lights were in the three largest cities (Reykjavik, Keflavik, and Akureyre). Everywhere else there were traffic circles or yield signs.
There are some things you have to understand about driving in Iceland. First, when your GPS says it will only take three hours to get to your next destination, don't believe it. You will want to stop numerous times to pick your jaw up off the ground.
Also, outside of the three aforementioned cities, there are no highways. The best you can hope for is a paved two-lane road. Iceland requires vehicles to drive with headlights on at all times. There are few guard rails to block the view, even down steep 12% grades. Reflectors set on poles 50 feet apart on the sides of the road help keep you on the straight and narrow during the winter. Areas with greater snowfall get taller poles.
Bridges are built cheaply and are almost exclusively one-way, making them easier to replace when periodic flooding crushes them beyond recognition. First come, first served.
We went through a tunnel 3 km long that was one lane. Periodic pull-out sections were for the lane that had to yield. This tunnel had an actual intersection in the middle, making it even more hair-raising.
Sheep are another driving hazard. Farmers put up fences, but the sheep view these as mere suggestions, preferring the grass on the other side of the road. Sheep always have the right of way.
"Blindhæð" means watch out for oncoming traffic, there's a hill where you can't see what's coming.
Speed limits range from 90 km/55 mph out in the middle of nowhere and sometimes even plummeting down mountainsides to 50 km or less per hour in towns. Roads often change to gravel with little notice, which can cause your vehicle to fishtail if you're not careful (yes, chalk that one up to my driving). And by all means, stay off the F-Roads unless you have a four-wheel drive and know what you're doing.
Although driving can be challenging at times, the drop-dead beauty and exotic surroundings make it all worthwhile. At times you'll think you are traveling through Mars (and indeed NASA did do lunar module training here).
At other times, the contrast of green and black and white and blue will bring tears to your eyes. How is it possible to have so much beauty concentrated in one area?
Even as we took the shuttle from Reykjavik to the airport, the most vivid rainbow I have ever seen showed itself, gone before I could get out my camera. Slow down and enjoy being in the moment. After all, the journey is the destination.

Assessments, penalties and appeals for Air Passenger Duty
How and why HMRC raises assessments, applies penalties and charges interest.
If you have not declared Air Passenger Duty correctly we'll send you an assessment. If your actual figures are not available we'll consider all the facts and make a decision about how much duty you owe.
We assess errors made in accounting periods that ended 4 years ago or less. In cases involving fraud or dishonesty, we may extend the period we assess to 20 years.
We'll issue an assessment if either:
- you do not submit returns
- your returns look incomplete or inaccurate because:
- you have not kept or produced any records
- your accounts and records look incomplete or inaccurate
Time limits
We issue assessments within strict time limits within:
- 1 year of us having enough facts to make an assessment
- 4 years of you becoming liable for duty
We'll extend this to 20 years in cases of dishonesty.
You must pay an assessment of duty immediately. We'll recover assessments as a debt if you do not.
Penalties and interest
Appeal against a penalty
You can appeal a penalty and ask for an independent review. If you're still unhappy with the outcome, you can take your complaint to a tribunal.
Reasonable excuses
If you've got a reasonable excuse for making a mistake, HMRC will look at your case. If we agree with you, you may not need to pay some or all of the penalty.
Interest on unpaid duty
We'll charge interest on the whole amount we assess if we make an assessment of duty because:
- you did not declare enough duty on a return
- a previous assessment of duty was too low
We'll apply interest from the date that a return is due to the date you pay the assessed amount.
Paying you interest
If you pay too much duty because of our mistake, we'll repay you. We'll also pay interest to you for the applicable period.
Types of penalties
Fixed penalty
There's a fixed penalty of £250 if you do not:
- tell us about a change in the business for example, address
- appoint a fiscal representative
- give security if you're asked to
- send a return by the due date
- keep or produce accounts
This penalty also applies to a fiscal representative if they do not tell HMRC about their appointment.
Geared penalties
There are 2 types of geared penalty.
5% of duty involved in the offence or £250, whichever is more
We apply this penalty when you do not pay the full amount of duty you owe by the due date.
Up to 100% of the duty you owe
We apply this penalty if you:
- do not tell us about your liability to register
- make errors or inaccuracies in returns or documents
- evade duty
We may apply a penalty of up to 30% of potential lost revenue, if we've sent you an assessment that is not enough and you do not tell us.
Daily penalty
Daily penalties apply if you do not:
- produce records
- pay duty on time
- send a return on time
We'll issue a daily penalty if we've already issued a fixed or geared penalty for the same offence. The daily penalty is £20 a day for each day the offence continues.

The perfect storm
Hawkeyes, Cyclones should make the most of national stage
Now we have ESPN's popular pregame football show, "College GameDay," coming to Ames for the first time ever on Saturday morning to heighten the excitement leading up to a 3 p.m. kickoff between the Iowa State Cyclones and Iowa Hawkeyes at Jack Trice Stadium.
This could very well be the most highly-anticipated matchup in series history. The sights and sounds leading up to the game will only add to the intrigue of the showdown, which pits — for all intents and purposes — two Top-25 programs and conference frontrunners against one other.
I do know some die-hard Cyclones who detest anything and everything black and gold, The same could be said for a number of Hawks and their hatred for ISU. You'll see them proudly and loudly trash-talking each other all week — especially on social media, which tends to deliver everything through an extreme, negative lens.
Truth be told, the vast majority of Iowans are simply looking forward to the game. They could be like me, a transplanted Michigander who grew up less than an hour away from Michigan State University. I attended the University of Northern Iowa. I've always enjoyed being able to sit down and watch without having a horse in the race.
There are plenty of Iowa fans who are civil and respectful about cheering for their Hawks and against the Cyclones. There are ISU backers who do the same. And I've even come across — gasp — a lot of supporters of one school who actually hope the other does well every other week outside of this one.
Long story short, don't let the insufferable few spoil the experience for you. The vast majority of Cyclones and Hawkeyes will turn this into the festive, wired GameDay party. It's hard for people from different parts of the country to grasp just how big the Iowa State-Iowa football showdown is to a state without any major professional sports. Now, millions of people will tune in and understand.
Saturday brings two programs with elite expectations together on the same field. If you're lucky enough to land a ticket, make the most of the trip and help create an environment the GameDay crew will talk about for years to come. I've witnessed countless Cy-Hawk series games in person, and the crowd — whether in Ames and Iowa City — is vibrant in ways you never forget.
Enjoy the event from start to finish this weekend, because that's what this is going to be: an event. Soak it all in. The GameDay visit and the nationally-televised audience is in for one special Saturday, and you should be, too — regardless of where your allegiances lie.
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: The Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union formed a united front recently to release an editorial stressing the importance of civility and respect at high school athletic events.
How did we get here?
Very basic, unwritten rules — act your age, don't live vicariously through your children, don't interfere with coaching decisions, know your role, don't lose perspective, treat your kids properly after games or matches — were emphasized. I'm not here to name names or assign blame, and this isn't just a local or area problem. It's spread like wildfire through every community and every sport across the country.
The numbers don't lie and are staples of the opinion piece. The coaching shortage is real. The officiating shortage is, too. Unruly, intrusive behavior is often cited as the main reason why workers and volunteers are leaving the scene in droves.
If you see unacceptable conduct at sporting events, speak up. And if you have struggled to steer clear of this toxic behavior yourself, it's never too late to make amends.
Let's collectively change the culture of high school athletics before it's too late.

The Impact of What We Watch
The ubiquitous portrayal of drug use on TV does the public no favors.
Posted Feb 22, 2013
If I were to say that children can be negatively impacted by what they watch on television, wouldn't you agree with that statement? After all, we have a rating system in place to protect children from viewing content they cannot process or understand and television show hosts frequently suggest that children be sent from the room before content that is inappropriate for them is discussed. Children are shaped by what they see and hear. Astute parents do their best to shield their children from content that is inappropriate.
But this protection does not include content that makes drug use and abuse seem to be a social norm. Turn on your television. Commercials for reality shows like Top Chef feature contestants shouting out to one another, "You light it like a bong!" and a commercial for the popular TV show House presents the show's main character popping four pills, after he's been told to take only two, and coyly saying, "Oops!" On the shows themselves, scripts vacillate between a cloying "Just Say No" message that denies the truth that drugs are very often an extremely satisfying experience when first used to a ridiculous oversimplification of the consequences of addiction – such as on crime shows where the junkie is nearly always treated with compassion by the police and usually able to cop a plea that involves a stint in rehab. This in a world where accidental overdoses of prescription medications are killing more people than heroin and cocaine combined and cities are rural areas are scrambling to deal with this epidemic.
Richard Taite, my co-blogger and coauthor of with me of the book Ending Addiction for Good, has written here in the past weeks about the damage caused to cast members by participating in television shows that from his perspective are exploitative – shows like MTV's Teen Mom and VH1's Celebrity Rehab – shows in which the cast members' problems, many drug and alcohol related, have become a form of "info-tainment." I'd like to address the entertainment industry's approach to drug use from a different angle by asking this question, "Has the use of drugs and alcohol become ubiquitous on television?"
The biggest problem with the portrayal of drug and alcohol use and abuse on television is that it is rarely well done. You either have Mr. Mackey on South Park preaching, "Drugs are bad, m'kay," or frat boys or naïve women in bars remaining completely coherent after slamming enough shots to knock out an elephant. Addicts are often played by beautiful people who have been 'dirtied' by a make-up artist, but even after decades of drug use, still have all of their perfectly straight, white teeth. High school students with promising futures who are caught by the cops usually have loving parents who intervene to save them or they die in tragic accidents. We rarely see them making poor choices that get them kicked out of school or having a hard time keeping even the most menial of jobs. Those storylines are saved for shows like Criminal Minds – in which the hard luck cases have become serial or spree killers, or the fodder for such.
Television scripts are stories. I for one would like to see some better storytelling – in which real characters with depth face the consequences of their choices. We see this more in film – like in Trainspotting where the baby died or the way in Drugstore Cowboy we are shown the lengths an addict will go to in support of his habit. Having seen better storytelling around drugs in film than on television, at least we know that better storytelling is possible.
I have no interest in telling anyone what stories they need to write. However, I do believe that we would all learn and grow – especially younger viewers – from tales that include accurate portrayals of drug and alcohol abusers and the consequences they must contend with, rather than fanciful notions that while perhaps not overtly glorifying drug abuse, at least minimize the very real and devastating effects such use often has on people's lives.

Lakewood – The Platte Valley boys 800-meter relay hasn't trailed much this year.
Throughout the season, the team of Kaleb Johnson, Sebastian Zehnder, Brendan Bunting and Garret Mix has typically been the one serving the dust, not eating it.
That wasn't the case Friday, as the Broncos took home a second-place finish at the Class 3A Track and Field Championship – albeit losing by less than a half-second to the new state meet record-holders hardly classifies as eating dust.
Lutheran placed first in 1:28.01.
"This was one of the first times all year that we had with somebody in front of us," Bunting said.
"It makes you feel like you need to pull a lot more. Thinking 'I need to catch up to him, I need to get back in front of him to give my team a chance.' It's a completely different mindset when someone is chasing you and you think 'I've got to just stay in front.' "
The Broncos finished with a time of 1:28.42 – just a tenth of a second off the old meet record time and their goal going in.
Though a runner-up finish is nothing to scoff at, all but Johnson will have a chance to top it today.
Zehnder, Bunting and Mix are part of the Broncos' 3,200 relay team favored to repeat as state champions today.
"We're gonna come out and were gonna run our hardest no matter what race it is," Bunting said. "It doesn't matter where we are coming in, we're always gonna run the next race as hard as we can. So we'll be ready."
Cass Away
Coming into the day seeded eighth, not many eyes were on Jade Cass during the 1A triple jump.
But a state title jump of 43′ 1.5″ – three inches ahead of first and his former career best – put him right in the spotlight.
And now that he's there, he's not going anywhere. He has three more events today.
He's tied for the top seed in the high jump (6′ 3″), sixth in the 110 hurdles (16.63) and seventh in the 300 hurdles (43.79).
It's raining, it's Pouring … no one is vaulting
A pair of lightning delays halted action for more than two hours Friday afternoon. The delays happened within less than an hour of each other, delaying the results of the 1,600 relay prelims and severely delaying final results for 3A girls pole vault, which was originally slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. but instead was still in its early stages after 6 p.m.
The storm didn't just bring lightning. It brought heavy rainfall, brief but intense pea-sized hail and some gusts of wind.
Nick of time
Just before the second lightning hit, Highland's 2A girls 1,600 relay team of freshman Kora Rich, junior Lauren Frink, sophomore Rylee Habel and sophomore Sidney Brown punched its ticket to the finals at 4:40 pm. today.
They placed second in their heat with a time of 4:13.86 to earn the third seed today.
championship swagger
Platte Valley 3A boys defending state champion 1,600 relay team of Mix, Zehnder, Bunting and Zach Waite ran with all the confidence and moxie that they'll need to defend their title today. They won their prelim with a time of 3:23.51.
They'll run in the finals at 5:33 p.m. today, the last event of the day.
Magic Touch
The Windsor 4A boys 800 relay team of Isaiah Salazar, Wyett Adams, Brayden Peterson and Marcus Vess took home a second-place finish with a time of 1:28.73.
The Wizards improved on their prelim time by nearly a second to move up from their third seed.
Pure Wizardry
But that Windsor relay team wasn't the only Wizards representative to find the podium.
Devyn Thornton added a fifth-place finish in the 4A girls long jump with a distance of 16′ 4″.
Not-So-Meagher Attempt
Eaton's Noelle Meagher took home a runner-up finish in the 3A girls triple jump with a jump of 35′ 11.25″.
She improved on her personal record by over a foot and a half to move up from her eighth seed.
She finished just under six inches behind Sierra's Alexandria Burns.
And A Not-So-Small Leap
Makayla Baker jumped her way to a fourth-place finish at 1A girls high jump with a height of 5′ 1″.
She tied for the lead but was left out of a jump-off because of failed attempts in earlier heights.
Full House
The 3A boys 800 relay was packed with Weld talent, paced by Frontier Academy's Levi Chambers with a time of 1:58.1.
Chambers was near the lead most of the race before hitting a wall on the backstretch.
Platte Valley's Sebastian Zehnder was close behind finishing eighth (1:59.43), and University's Mustafa Muhamed finished 13th (2:01.17).
Hurling Husky
Highland 's Laramie Woods added a fifth-place finish in the 2A girls shot put to go with Remington Ross' third-place finish in the high jump.
She threw a distance of 34′ 8″ to make the jump from her ninth-place seed.
Not To Be Forgotten
Highland improved on its season-best time with a 51.29 second mark in the 2A girls 400 relay, good for the top spot heading into the finals.
The team of Cabrini Medina, Olivia Himmel, Kora Rich and Ross will run in the finals today.

Jennifer Lawrence has a new gig that doesn't involve any Hunger Games-style action. Lawrence has scored the fashionable position of starring in the Spring/Summer 2013 ad campaign for the Miss Dior handbag.
Lawrence has been linked to Dior for a while now, so this choice should have more obvious. She attended Dior's Haute Couture show back in July, which marked Raf Simons' debut as designer. She also wore a Dior gown at the Toronto International Film Festival.
This will be Jennifer's first endorsement for a luxury brand, which she seems a little hesitant about. She said she's still "getting up to speed" on fashion, but it's hard not to pay attention to when working in the entertainment industry. She admits that she hates being overdressed, and she always finds a way to "casualize anything too showy." On days when she doesn't have any major events to go to or public appearances to make, she gets ready in the morning in about 15 minutes. Lawrence is excited about being the face of Dior though, admitting that "it's such a dream to represent an iconic brand that is synonymous with high fashion."
The 22-year-old actress is among several other celebrities that have represented the brand's Miss Dior Bag, including Mila Kunis and Marion Cotillard. Cotillard is expected to continue her association with the brand, even as Jennifer joins the team. Stars like Sharon Stone, Charlize Theron, and Natalie Portman have also been the face of Dior's fragrances.
Simons says he was "struck by her unbelievable onscreen presence" and Jennifer's "powerful portrayal of more emotional and complex characters." Her youth, classic beauty, feminine strength, and obvious complexity at such a young age are rare in Hollywood and are "very appealing" characteristics to him.
Lawrence's ads will first appear in magazines in March 2013. What do you think of her new role as the face of the famous bag? Is she a good fit for the campaign, or should she stick to her adventurous film roles?

- First, prepare the roux by heating the olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the olive oil and, whisking constantly, cook for 4-5 minutes until the mixture is golden in color and smells a bit "nutty". Remove the pot from the heat and set the roux aside until needed.
- Chop the shallots and mushrooms. Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté, stirring regularly, for an additional 3 minutes.
- Raise the heat to high and add the stock, mushroom soy sauce and white pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and immediately turn the heat down to low. Add the roux that you prepared earlier and whisk it in completely. You don't want any "roux lumps".
- Simmer the gravy, whisking regularly, for approximately 7-10 minutes or until it has thickened slightly. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the miso until it has completely dissolved.
- Remove the pot from the heat and carefully puree the gravy in batches in your blender until it is smooth. Transfer the gravy to a clean pot and keep warm over very low heat until you're ready to serve.

Art Supplies!
Art Supplies are the Best!
The woman next door and I went out for lunch at Aux Vivres on St. Laurent last week. We had been talking about art and such as we often do – we like to go to galleries together. I asked her how long it has been since she did any art herself. She sighed and said, "too long!"
So as soon as we had finished our meal, I took her with me to the artist's co-op around the corner on Villeneuve East (No. 10 to be exact) to inspire her. Nothing like scads of fantastic art making materials to build up a bit of enthusiasm.
The co-op is a great old place and is probably one of the last holdouts of sixties and seventies leftist values. It is an underground art store in all senses of the word. You have to go down a narrow metal staircase, of who knows what vintage, and into a cramped but inviting space filled with a great variety of high quality and affordable art materials. It is for those who take art seriously (which I think should be everybody).
As a cooperative, it's five dollars for a year's membership and the member's discounts are very good. I am pretty sure it is the cheapest place to buy canvases. And they do great framing too. As far as I know it really is one of two last small shops selling art supplies in the old tradition with lots of personal attention and a real vibe that you are among artists helping artists.
After lunch, we headed to Westmount for tea (no crumpets), and visited the second one. Avenue des arts on Victoria is charming little store – also down a staircase but with a very different feel than the co-op. It is like a step back in time with wooden drawers and glass cases, and beautiful stone walls. It is run by the owners and they always are very welcoming. If they are not there, anyone manning the store is very helpful and knowledgeable – usually an artist herself. It reminds me of Cornelissen's, a small but famous art supply story I visited in London many years ago, which has been in business for over 150 years.
There is something delightful about going into an art supply store – or even visiting one online. The luscious colours of paints, markers, pastels; canvases, papers and sketchbooks of all sizes; pencils, charcoal, pens and erasers for every drawing effect you could hope for. Clay and plaster and other sculpting products invite play and invention.
Here is a list of some others I know about and frequent – either in person or online:
Encadrements de Cèdres is very popular among Montreal artists (their website is under construction at this writing). They have a lot of branches but do not seem like a big chain. Their product range is excellent, good prices with a lot of specials, and a friendly and helpful staff. My favourite store is the one on Laurier and Papineau.
Omer de Serres, although a big chain now, is an old Quebec company started in Montreal in 1908. Guy/Concordia Metro is my favourite branch as it has the feel of a small art store. It serves the student population of the attached Concordia Fine Arts department and as such, they don't carry very much of the arts and crafts materials that the others offer, mostly straightforward art materials. The manager and staff are very friendly and helpful.
Two great online sources:
Curry's , a Canadian company headquartered in Toronto, has been in business for over a hundred years. They have a lot of products, many specials and often you can get free shipping. Returns are easy and the staff are very helpful if you need to phone.
Daniel Smith is an American online art supplier. I have never shopped there but have friends who swear by them.
My friend came away with a pad and some watercolour pencils, and I dropped her off at the park to do some sketching. I bought some very cool erasers to add to my art box that you can see at the top of the page.
So please, go to an art store. Be Inspired! Here are a few photos of the co-op and Avenue des arts to encourage you…
(I wasn't allowed to take photos inside the co-op but you can get the feel from the outside – inside it is a treasure cave of wonderful stuff!)

Psychological contracts and job satisfaction: clustering analysis using evidential c-means and comparison with other techniques. Intelligent Systems in Accounting, Finance and Management 19 (4) , pp. 247-273. 10.1002/isaf.1334
This is the latest version of this item.
The psychological contract refers to an individual employee's belief in mutual obligations between them and their employer. Psychological contracts are a key management concern, as they can impact employees' attitudes and behaviors in ways that influence organizational efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper, we analyse the relationship between the psychological contract and facets of job satisfaction among non-profit sector employees, using the nascent non-hierarchical evidential c-means (ECM) clustering technique. To date, this technique has been theoretically discussed but not widely applied. Based on the Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence, ECM is novel in facilitating the assignment of objects, not only to single clusters, but to sets of clusters, and no clusters (outliers). The paper compares the theoretical underpinnings and findings from ECM with those of three other well-known clustering techniques, namely (1) the hierarchical Ward's method, (2) the non-hierarchical crisp k-means and (3) the non-hierarchical fuzzy c-means approaches. We present and interpret the cluster solutions from each clustering technique. We establish three clusters differentiated by the content of the employees' psychological contracts. These clusters are validated by considering their relationship with facets of job satisfaction, to ensure the clusters are theoretically meaningful. Comparisons of the findings from each technique: (1) provide insights into the relationship between the psychological contract and job satisfaction; (2) reveal what ECM encompasses, relative to other clustering techniques; (3) inform the selection of an appropriate clustering technique for a specific research problem; and (4) demonstrate potential future directions in the development of cluster analysis.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The winning Mega Millions tickets were sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland, but some Tri-State Area players also cashed in.
While no one won the top prize in the Tri-State, not everyone was left empty-handed. There were 17 second prize winners in New York, five in New Jersey and one in Connecticut, according to the Mega Millions website.
One of those was sold by Bob Patelle at his store near Penn Station.
"I'm feeling really good that my store got this kind of opportunity. I was hoping full prize but anyhow," he told CBS 2's Don Dahler.
Each of those winners will take home $250,000.
Scott Irvine of Teaneck managed to get a few matching numbers and came away with $11.
"Look at that, it's better than nothing," Irvine said. "I'll take it."
Others hope the winners will appreciate their new found fortune.
"I hope it's a married couple that is struggling, that's got two kids," one man told WCBS 880's Sophia Hall.
"Very lucky people," another woman said. "I hope they put it to good use."
Each winning ticket is expected to be worth more than $213 million before taxes.
The three big winners will share the record-setting $640 million jackpot. The winning numbers were 2, 4, 23, 38, 46 and the mega-ball 23.
Despite Mega Millions fever, the Maryland winner did something amazing.
"It was a quick-pick and there was only one ticket purchased by the player at that time," said Stephen Martino, director of Maryland Lottery.
WCBS 880's Sophia Hall reports
For millions of ticket buyers, the historic jackpot was nothing but a mega letdown.
"I don't know if it was worth it," Nick Mcbride of Haddonfield, N.J. told CBS 2's Ann Mercogliano. "I think if you won it was worth it."
New Yorkers spent nearly $46 million on Mega Millions tickets on Friday alone, helping to drive the jackpot even higher, jumping $100 million from the day before.
So who are the winners of history's largest jackpot? We may never know. In Maryland and Kansas the winners can anonymously claim their prize, but in Illinois the lucky player has to agree to make a public appearance to collect all those millions.
What would you do right this second if you won $213 million? Sound off below…
Hi, i feel that i saw you visited my blog so i came to go back the desire?.I am attempting to to find things to enhance my website!I assume its ok to make use of some of your ideas!!
I'm no longer certain the place you are getting your info, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or figuring out more. Thank you for excellent info I used to be on the lookout for this info for my mission.
If we submit a same article to different at-least 10 article directory websites with an anchor textual content to enhance the rank of a keyword. So would this enhance the rank because the article listing websites are going to give a link to my website and we now have our keyword as anchor text or will it cause a duplicate content issue and importantly by causing a reproduction content will it damage the ranking for the keyword that is in anchor text.
I am not sure the place you're getting your info, however great topic. I needs to spend a while studying much more or understanding more. Thank you for fantastic information I was looking for this info for my mission.

Deadline Extended for Stories on Theme of "Blackness"
Fiction International, a California-based journal emphasizing both literary innovation and progressive politics, has pushed its June 1 contest deadline to August 31. Through the remainder of the summer, the magazine is accepting submissions of short stories on the theme of "Blackness" for a one-thousand-dollar prize, and all entries will be considered for publication.
According to contest coordinator Joel Cox, the theme is "deliberately elastic," encompassing, for instance, "skin; sleep; death; meditation; apocalypse; birds falling from the sky, blanketing the sun; love unloved; the obverse of white."
"Contestants can take 'Blackness' wherever they choose," Cox says. The editors, including final judge Harold Jaffe, "will cede to them."
In the video below, Jaffe presents one of his latest texts, Anti-Twitter: 150 50-Word Stories (Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2010) at Google's San Francisco office.

People are looking way too Hawkins indiana an unusual town Stranger Things shirt. Fox News ran a sensational review, and everybody is drinking the kool-aid. Political correctness runs amok lol. The movie sounds delightfully relevant and rooted in good satire. Maybe try not to have your feelings hurt so easily. Nate Anderson Virginia, it had an "elite vs trashy" motif and made the elite side the bad guy. If anything the movie was pro-Republican. Good satire is being ruined by political correctness. I think you're just looking for something to be offended at. Katie Evans Toni Petracco Kapudija One point not mentioned in the article is that in the movie the hunted turn the tables on the rich hunters and begin killing them one by one.

Jeff Hirst Ethan Dexter never is the right time for your kind of callousness. Cindy's comment was completely civil and you responded with cruelty. Stop the hate. Channel your anger toward something constructive. Gerald Lee O'Hagan Like the kind of hate peddled by that orangutan and his base? Chun-Sun Chan Gerald Lee O'Hagan I'm no Trump supporter… but I don't condone this movie at all… it's called not sinking to his level, my friend. Aroon Sivaji Ethan mate I'm super lib and would love nothing more than for Trump, Sarah Sanders, his evil wife, and kids to be killed in an accident but I think this film is just too inflammatory at this point to be released, and probably for a while. And I say that as someone that thinks to blame video games for violence is absurd.
