But Chess Titans, and all the Windows games now have no support for playing over a network. Gotta be on the local machine.

Bernard_Marx wrote:So, will IPv4 eventually be deprecated on a future version of Windows?
It's a very cool step forward..but in user land there needs to be a much better understanding of how all this works.
Right now you can run under IPV4 behind a NAT pretty much without firewall and antivirus software and survive to tell the tale. Even if you have all sorts of random services running on the local machine.
My (limited?) understanding of IPV6 is that if you have these random services running and you set the network traversal flag in the windows firewall by accident or otherwise, the world and his dog can get access. It will be like living in a network DMZ today.
In other words, while NATs have a serious effect on limiting connectivity we have all become comfortable with them providing an inherent degree of protection at a hardware level.
In Vista (and once NATs become IPV6 compliant) the level of protection provided is purely through that network traversal flag...a software switch...nothing more.
It's all good, but there are going to be people who trip up on this...no wonder Michael was a bit twitchy about network shares over IPV6

SecretSoftware wrote:What about the security of the new networking stack. With NATs , you were able to protect yourself from worm attacks, because NAT will drop malicious packets, and its as if you have a good hardware firewall.
With Windows Vista, you have the Windows Firewall replacing NATs in software, but still software is not like hardware, as its error prone.

Charles, could you post that link for Developer guidelines on IPv6 support? TIA

Just watching the video and I looked on the dlink website to see if there newest routers support IPv6 and they don't, downloaded manual and had a look.
So how long will this take to filter thru to the SoHo Space? He answered this question arounf 35:30. Early 07
fivestrokes wrote:The one you mentioned that was more interesting to me was to block access to the domain teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com in the firewall. Teredo will not work if it cannot resolve this domain. I prefer this method. Is it likely that teredo could use additional domains or is this the only domain it uses exclusively?
mpcm wrote:There are a lot of people, who want the layer of seperation provided by NATS, and in fact I plan to run an IPV6 NAT. Anyone find this a strange suggestion that NAT's are just something to fix a simple problem, and not what I think many people use them for?
intelman wrote:If this is so easy and so great, I would really like to see Live Messenger use this.
I think it would have been good if you mentioned how to turn on ipv6 in xp etc.
In case some people wanted to switch.

Michael Surkan wrote:
Also, Teredo can't be configured with an Edge Firewall traversal option as there is in Vista (i.e. only applications themselves can invoke Teredo on XP by calling a specific Windows Socket option).
In short, IPv6 on XP is fine if you are writing your own protocol agnostic application, or wish to experiment with pinging, etc.
tranbonium wrote:
So can an application be developed on XP, using the Teredo framework, that will work with both IPv4 and IPv6, using the same code, but having a address config setting that can be entered in either format?
Also, do you have an idea of how quickly the backbone will become IPv6 aware, and support both types of traffic. And will systems such as IM and Windows Messenger become the new DNS system of sorts. Of course web browsing will continue to use DNS, and I'm sure the DNS system as a whole will incorporate IPv6 along with the rest of the Internet community.
BuckyBit wrote:Will it happen? I doubt it for many years to come.
Still I don-t like the (typical) Microsoft-idea to host the "Teredo"-Servers, which is another word for 'Trackers' and logging all traffic that goes through.
Michael Surkan,
will new DNS Servers support IPv6 (or maybe they already support), so we could assign IPv6 address to simple name like www.domain.com ?
aspnix wrote:will new DNS Servers support IPv6 (or maybe they already support), so we could assign IPv6 address to simple name like www.domain.com ?
JohnSpence wrote:I cannot quite tell what the default Teredo behavior is in Vista RTM. Is Teredo enabled by default? Is any overt action required by the user to enable Teredo? If the DNS resolver returns an IPv4 and an IPv6 address, will Vista use Teredo preferentially over IPv4?
Is the Edge Traversal feature for "outbound" traffic, as well as for "inbound" (server) traffic? Or just if Vista is acting as a server (or peer)?
Michael Surkan wrote:In early 2007 you will start to see NATs sold with the Vista logo. Additionally, some of my colleagues are working on a downloadable NAT testing tool that will tell what classification of NAT you have, and how well it works with Vista. This makes it possible for anyone to test their own NATs. This NAT evaulation tool will be released someone in the next few months.
nesher wrote:Is this testing tool already available for download?
vortek wrote:What about the issue of 2 queries being made, both ipv4 and ipv6 at the same time on vista. This could almost double the internet load from windows users who switch to vista. This could have a tremendous problem on the already lagged ns's.

A reading of "Get Out of My Crotch! Twenty-One Writers Respond to America's War on Women's Rights and Reproductive Health" will be held Friday at Lake Tahoe Community College.
"Get Out of My Crotch!" was published Tuesday by Cherry Bomb Books, a new imprint under Bona Fide Books. Bona Fide Books publisher Kim Wyatt wrote some of her favorite writers, including Roxane Gay, Lidia Yuknavitch and Katha Pollitt, proposing a collection based on these issues and the writers agreed; but Bona Fide Books wasn't the right place for the collection, so Cherry Bomb was born. Co-editor Sari Botton and Wyatt decided to push the publication of the book up to Tuesday, the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and schedule readings around the country that week.
The reading will take place at 7 p.m. at the college, 1 College Drive. Contributors including Camille Hayes and Janet Frishberg will read from essays on the Violence Against Women Act, women's health care and choice. The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase.
For more information on this or other Cherry Bomb events, contact Wyatt at email@example.com or visit www.cherrybombbooks.com.

Ontario-based Research in Motion, Ltd. (TSE:RIM) circa 2006-2007 appeared
unstoppable. The company was beloved by businesses worldwide and was growing fast in market share and
sales. Even Democratic Presidential hopeful Sen. Barrack Obama was deeply attached to his
BlackBerry smartphone.
I. Should RIM Sell Itself?
Fast-forward five years and that vibrant company is an increasingly distant
memory. In its place is a company with a slow pace of releases, dated
hardware (the Blackberry 9860, to launch in October,
will be BlackBerry's first and only smartphone this fall to compete with Apple,
Inc.'s (AAPL) iPhone and Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Android hardware-wise). Unsurprisingly sales growth has slumped both in the U.S. and
abroad. Correspondingly, the company's stock has taken a beating at the
Toronto Stock Exchange.
Investors, desperate to see a turnaround, have implored RIM to explore a pair
of options.
The latest effort suggests that RIM sell its rich catalog of intellectual
property -- or perhaps sell its entire business to the highest bidder.
Investors salivated at Google's recent purchase of
Motorola Mobility, which brought a handsome return for shareholders. A RIM
sale would help investors recoup their losses and perhaps even profit.
Google and others are thought to be potential buyers.
The proposal is being spearheaded by Jaguar Financial Corp. (TSE:JFC). JFC refuses to
reveal the size of its stake in RIM, but it says it represents a coalition of
various shareholders who together hold a bit under 5 percent of the company's
stock (RIM has a market cap of $16.45B USD at present, so this works out to
roughly $822M USD in stock).
II. Second Proposal Suggests Shakeup in Top Executive Positions
JFC CEO Vic Alboini also expressed dismay at the company's lackluster response
to a second independent proposal.
The Northwest & Ethical Investments LP in June said that RIM's Jim
Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis's decision to split Chairman and CEO duties was
adversely affecting the company. They suggested the company assign one
executive to each post.
RIM agreed to examine the proposal, but said they probably wouldn't get around
to announcing their thoughts until January 2012. Mr. Alboini called that
slow response "woefully inadequate" and "an extreme example
that management has not let go."
III. If QNX Bid Fails Will RIM Become Nortel 2.0?
Mr. Alboini is also pessimistic about RIM's last-ditch turnaround effort with
its new QNX operating system. The new operating system, which debuted on
the company's PlayBook tablet, is scheduled to roll out to the company's
smartphones next year, replacing the veteran BlackBerry operating system.
Thus far, however, QNX has drawn mixed reviews, with many saying the best
thing about it is the ability to play (some) Android apps on it. However,
many fear that Google may close that route as more RIM devices adopt QNX.
While Mr. Alboini admits that it could have a positive impact, he says the cost
of failure is to great to gamble by counting on such a success. He
remarks in a Bloomberg interview, "The board should be
saying, 'What if these products don't pan out?' You don't want RIM to turn into
another Nortel."
Nortel Networks, like RIM, used to be a highly prized Canadian mobile services
firm. But stagnation bred an eventual
bankruptcy and fire sale of the
company's intellectual property in a bid by shareholders to recoup part of
their losses.
Mr. Alboini fears RIM could eventually meet a similar fate and says the time to
act is now. And he's not alone. In a highly publicized letter, a
departing executive lashed out at the
company's leadership for failing to respond to the changing market. He
remarked, "I have lost confidence. While I hide it at work, my passion has
been sapped. I know I am not alone..."
RIM categorically rejected the criticism, insisting it was doing just fine.
quote: it's useless without having a RIM mobile
quote: You should actually try to use the product before bashing it.
quote: Playbook can do both, be Wi-Fi only and be bridged to a BB phone for 3G/4G access.
quote: But you don't call those iPads "as good as dead" even though Playbook beats them easily. Why?
quote: You always talk about "bridge" like it's a must-have feature, but what I'm trying to say is, why do you even need to "bridge" at all if the tablet can do most of the things.
quote: there are simply too many apps+games that are not available on Playbook
quote: Where do you get the sense that Playbook beats iPad? source please?
quote: Some website saying it is the must have tablet doesn't make it true
quote: Why do you give a crap what Jason Mick thinks?
quote: You elevate the products you buy
quote: Did you say that iPad was dead last year because he had no apps compared to iPhone or Android? No? Then why double standards and why treating Playbook so different? Is it because you are an Apple fanboy?
quote: ILoveCashback.com, the voucher and money saving site, has made the bold claim that the BlackBerry PlayBack has overtaken the iPad as the must-have tablet. It states that the Apple device has fallen behind the new kid on the block in terms of searches.
quote: But you don't call those iPads "as good as dead" even though Playbook beats them easily. Why?
quote: Because you must be a clueless troll like I suggested above. You have no experience using a product and you make obviously idiotic statements about it at the same time. Maybe its time for you to stop trolling and try to use the thing before bashing it?
quote: if you don't own or haven't used a product, what right do you have to say that it holds no value?
quote: However, you would have to agree with me that an Apple type turn around would be an unlikely, although not impossible, future
quote: you will find the result is the same
quote: Pressing the gas pedal is not a wise choice

Certification: A Strategy for the Future — This is a transcription of a panel discussion from the 1999 NTI, moderated by Barbara Gill, then-Chair of the AACN Certification Corporation Board of Directors. It includes a consumer representative, a staff nurse, a nurse manager and a CNS, each providing their views and insights into the application of the Synergy Model to nursing practice.
Linking Patient Needs to Nurse Competencies — This article provides examples of assessing patient needs and nurse characteristics using the Synergy Model. Gives charge nurses the words they need to accurately describe the factors that enter into their decision-making process of matching patients to nurses.
Contemporary Practice of the Clinical Nurse Specialist — Uses the Synergy Model to illuminate the contemporary practice of CNSs.
The Day the Lights Went Out: One Charge Nurse's Nightmare - Exemplar — Highlights the collaborative efforts of a multidisciplinary team during an environmental disaster. The Synergy Model is used to frame the unit's needs and the nursing competencies that were critically important during the event.
Building a Clinical Advancement Program — Nursing leaders are continually challenged to find innovative solutions that define, recognize and reward progressively developing nursing expertise demonstrated at the bedside. In searching for a model on which to base their CAP, All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, settled on the Synergy Model. Here's why.
Advanced Practice Nurses: Guiding Families Through Systems — Using the Synergy Model in advanced practice.
Being a Good Dance Partner — An example of a situation in which changing nursing style facilitated synergy between a nurse and a patient's wife, allowing both to do what they needed in a difficult situation.
Establishing Criteria for 1:1 Staffing Ratios — Using the Synergy Model to determine staffing for intensive care units (ICUs).
Using the Synergy Model to Link Nursing Care to Diagnosis-Related Groups — Describes a project in which the Synergy Model is used to link nursing care to DRGs, the basis of the established method of reimbursement and the language used by payers.
Strengthening Nurses' Moral Agency — Discusses how nurses' competencies of advocacy and moral agency when practiced within a synergistic relationship can strengthen patients' outcomes and nurses' moral agency.
Applying the Synergy Model: Clinical Strategies — Uses a clinical exemplar to articulate the varied and unique contributions nurses bring to optimizing patient outcomes.
Pediatric Critical Care Nursing: Annie's Story — How the Synergy Model was used in providing optimal care for one pediatric patient.
The Leader as Synergist — Describes what leaders can do to help create a Synergistic environment within their organization.
Applying the Synergy Model to Nursing Education — Discusses how the Synergy Model provides a basis for the multifaceted role of the nurse educator.
Promoting Synergy in Progressive Care — Describes use of the Synergy Model to address staffing challenges in delivering safe, effective care to critically ill, yet stable PCU patients.
The Interdisciplinary Team Across the Continuum of Care — A case study demonstrating how the use of interdisciplinary planning and compentencies of the Synergy Model contributed to positive outcomes in one complex patient.
The Synergy Model as a Framework for Nursing Rounds — A case study illustrating how the Synergy Model can be incorporated into patient rounds in the critical care unit.
Case Study of a CHF Patient — Shows how the Synergy Model can be applied to a variety of settings and can be used to guide the practice of advanced practice nurses.
An MSN Curriculum in Preparation of CCNSs: A Model for Consideration — Details how the Synergy Model has been incorporated into a graduate program of study preparing critical care clinical nurse specialists.
Extending the Synergy Model to Preceptorship: A Preliminary Proposal — Introduces application of the Synergy Model in a new way — to the preceptor (nurse) and preceptee (patient) — and invites readers' reactions, critique and suggestions related to the proposal.
Using the Synergy Model to Provide Spiritual Nursing Care in Critical Care Settings — Identifies challenges of providing spiritual care in critical care settings and recommends nursing interventions based on the Synergy Model targeted to spiritual needs of the critically ill.
Adaptation of the AACN Synergy Model for Patient Care to Critical Care Transport — Describes a new tool inspired by the Synergy Model to determine the appropriate level of nursing care required for safe and effective interfacility transport.

The late, great Altoona Area High School football coach Earl Strohm demanded toughness, grit and a team approach from his players.
The undefeated 1962 Mountain Lions squad, which Strohm guided to a perfect 10-0 record, provided a blueprint example of what Strohm wanted from his players.
"The one thing about [playing for Strohm] is that you had to be physically and mentally tough,'' said Wayne "Buddy" Geis, a sophomore on the 1962 team who started at halfback and safety and also returned punts and kickoffs. "We played in the WPIAL, and the teams that we played there, like Johnstown and McKeesport, were physical teams. It was a battle.''

The members of the 1962 Altoona Area High School football team included (from left): First row—Buddy Geis, Mel Frye, Bob Fogle, Dan McKnight, Joe Nicodemus, Bob Black, Bill Shawley, John Kerns, Milt Lantz, Jerry Sanker, Jeff Miller, Bob Prindible. Second row—Bill Books, Mike Auker, Ted Werner, Dave McNichol, Jim Nardello, Ed Trexler, Charlie Brenner, Tim Murtiff, Steve Flanagan, Bill Mills, Jim Yingling, Steve Howe, Jim Miller, John Phillips. Third row—John Kroft, Dave McGinnis, Tim Hudson, Frank Magaraci, Carl Bennett, Sam Ianuzzi, Jake Springman, Tom Sanker, Dick Jones, Gary Sacks, Dave Thompson, Denny Rossman, John Treon, Jack Lindsey, Rick Varner. Fourth row—Dick Johnson, Frank Barry, Jim Graham, Tom Bussman, Bob Johnson, Mike Reid, John Harris,?Denny Blackburn, Ed Smith, Rick Noonan, Tom Creighton, Anthony Glasson, Anthony Muro.
Strohm also advocated the philosophy that no single player on the team was more important than the collective unit itself.
"Whether you were a linebacker or running back, it was always about the team,'' said Geis, 66, who would later spend three decades as an assistant coach in both professional and major college football. "You had to know the basics of blocking and tackling, and you had to [play as if] you were part of the team. I know that I carried that philosophy throughout my life and my coaching career."
About 20 members of that undefeated 1962 Altoona team, the Mountain Lions' last perfect squad, will meet for a breakfast next Saturday morning at the Belmar Hotel as part of the Altoona Class of 1963's 50-year reunion weekend.
The breakfast organizer is Danny McKnight, a senior split end on the 1962 squad who now lives in Butler.
"The way I saw it, this might be the last time that some of us get together,'' said McKnight, 68, pointing out that eight members of the team have already passed away. "About half of the players on the team are planning to show up, which isn't bad, considering that it's late summer, and many people have other plans.''
Geis, now living in Neptune Beach, Fla., where he helps his grown son, Adam, coach a high school football team, hopes to make the trip back for the reunion.
"I'm glad they're doing something like this,'' he said. "It's a nice opportunity to see all the guys again and laugh and talk. [Playing for the high school football team] was a great time in my life.''
Geis, spelling injured senior running back Jeff Miller, scored three touchdowns for Altoona in the 1962 season opener, a 26-0 victory over Chambersburg at Mansion Park.
"It was one of those nights,'' Geis, a 2010 inductee into the Blair County Sports Hall of Fame, said about the 1962 season opener. "I scored three touchdowns that night on offense and had an interception on defense.''
Altoona won every game that season by at least two touchdowns, except for a 13-9 nailbiter on the road over a talented McKeesport team on the last Saturday in September.
"That was an unbelievable game,'' said Geis, who preserved Altoona's hard-fought victory that day with a game-saving tackle as time ran out. "I got hit in the chin playing defense that day - hit a guy's helmet going for a tackle - and my tooth came through my chin. There was a big hole there that was gushing with blood, but they taped me up and I missed just one play that day. I didn't want to be off the field. None of us did. That was everybody's mentality.''
It was a mentality fostered by Strohm, a stern taskmaster and 1988 Blair County Sports Hall of Fame inductee who McKnight said always got the best out of his players.
So did the rest of that Altoona coaching staff - which included Wally Fields, Harry Dinges and Ron Rickens. Jack Hopper - a 2000 Hall of Fame inductee - and Ron Corrado were junior varsity coaches who also helped out with varsity coaching duties.
Mel Frye, a retired Altoona Area School District teacher and coach who still lives in Altoona, was a two-year starter at quarterback for the Mountain Lions. Frye, who went on to play collegiately at Penn State, was a junior starter on the 1962 squad.
"Earl Strohm and the rest of the coaching staff had that team so well-prepared every week,'' Frye said. "We were a team of good, solid football players who worked very well together.''
McKnight agreed that the Mountain Lions' coaching staff was top-notch.
"All of the coaches were phenomenal,'' McKnight said. "Ron Rickens was an unbelievable coach. Thanks to him, we had some of the best pulling guards in the state.''
Altoona had trouble scheduling opponents, with many teams throughout the state ducking the talented Mountain Lions.
"You had to play at least five WPIAL teams to qualify for a league championship, but Earl couldn't get enough of them on the schedule because teams just didn't want to play us,'' McKnight said.
Offensively, the 1962 team was led by Geis, Frye, and senior end Jerry Sanker - an all-state player who would go on to play at Penn State.
Mike Reid, a 1987 first-class Blair County Sports Hall of Fame inductee who achieved collegiate and NFL stardom as a defensive lineman with Penn State and the Cincinnati Bengals and later became a nationally-renowned country songwriter who is now living in Nashville, was a sophomore on the 1962 Altoona squad.
The defense, anchored by junior linebacker Ed Trexler, now lives in Elmira, N.Y., shut out two opponents and allowed just one touchdown in seven other games.
"We all got along and we all liked each other,'' Geis said. "I think that's one of the reasons why we had success as a team.''

Susan Jarvis, Maurice Moore, Mennow Hostetler Jr. and Bruce McGarrigle are among hundreds of people who are homeless in Trumbull and Mahoning counties. Some become that way because of job loss; for others, it could be because of mental illness or issues with drugs or alcohol. Here's a closer look at their stories:
Bruce McGarrigle made his way back to Youngstown in 2011 - he lived there for nine years in the 1990s - and planned on staying only a few months, but sometimes plans sour.
McGarrigle, 67, said he was staying with relatives, but issues he declined to talk about forced him to the streets for a couple days. He stayed ''anyplace warm,'' he said.

The former Navy man wanted to get back to Florida, but said he was unable to gather together the cash for a bus ticket.
He said he was able to stretch what little money he had - less than $20 in the bank in late December - for food, eating maybe once a day.
''I ate meager, but I ate,'' McGarrigle said.
He's now at the Rescue Mission and doesn't know what's next in store in for him.
''Whatever the good Lord brings my way, I'm not going to second-guess him ... I know he won't put anything on me I can't handle,'' McGarrigle said.
Susan Jarvis lost her job and then lost her home.
The former Warren woman spent four months in 2011 at the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley in Youngstown and is back there again this winter, readying herself for a yearlong program the mission offers to teach residents living skills.
But there were times when after she lost that job as a nurse's aide, Jarvis and her husband, Bill, surfed couches of friends and relatives in Warren. When that option wasn't available, the married couple of 10 years found shelter wherever they could, mostly bedding down in the garage of an abandoned home in Warren.
''It was hard not knowing where you were going to sleep or where you were going to stay,'' said Jarvis, 29.
By day, they walked around town, she said. For their meals, they ate at the Warren Family Mission.
But the enormity of the situation - being homeless - didn't really hit her, she said, until she kicked her cocaine habit.
''Reality really hits you when you stop doing drugs,'' said Jarvis, who arrived at the mission in November with only a pair of blue jeans and a couple shirts.
''This place (the mission in Youngstown) is a blessing because you have everything you need. You don't have to worry about wearing dirty clothes all the time, you can take a shower when you want,'' she said.
Mennow Hostetler Jr. said he ''kind of lost all reality of life'' in August when his father died, an event that triggered the 56-year-old from Middlefield to begin drinking heavily, so much so his family intervened for his wellbeing.
''They said to me, 'We just got done burying Dad, and we don't want to bury you, too,''' Hostetler said.
He agreed to go to the hospital and then voluntarily checked into the rescue mission in Warren to be part of a yearlong program to get his life straight. In the transition, he lost his apartment.
He grew up Amish, but left the community when he was 16 because ''I felt like that wasn't my kind of way of living,'' he said.
A construction worker by trade, Hostetler said he's been homeless before, living in different places up and down the East Coast, mostly in abandoned buildings and sometimes in rented motel rooms.
Hostetler said for money, he worked in labor pools, and to move from place to place, he hitchhiked. Along the way, he said he saw the uglier side of humanity, claiming he was spit on, assaulted and called names like ''lazy bum'' because of being homeless.
That's why he wants the mocking and insults of the homeless to stop. ''In the snap of a finger, it can happen,'' Hostetler said of becoming homeless.
When he finishes with the program, Hostetler said he wants to restart his house painting business, ''but the best thing for me now is to focus on me.''
Maurice Moore says he wants to work but hasn't been successful landing a job. He knows being a convicted felon just out of prison hampers his finding employment.
To earn a few bucks since his release in June, he worked as a handyman doing odd jobs around his neighborhood, and until Dec. 30 was sharing an apartment with two men in a neighborhood around downtown, he said.
Moore was evicted from the apartment after one of his roommates went to jail; that man's name was on the lease, said Moore, who suddenly found himself homeless with only a box containing his belongings.
''Not being able to work and take care of yourself is kind of hard,'' said Moore, who drove truck for a living before spending seven years in prison on felonious assault and weapons charges.
Moore had been staying at the Warren Family Mission but left there on Thursday. It's unknown where he went.

Auracaria! Embothrium! Drimys! Oh my! We have had exciting few days in the Lake District, seeing old friends from our gardens and being captivated by new ones. We arrived in the area and nearly immediately went into the Andes to see Auracaria auracana in the wild. While this species brings both love and hate in Seattle, including among our group, everyone agreed it looked splendid in the wild, silhouetted against Volcan Lanín. We also did a short hike in the area, seeing lots of Alstroemeria aurantiaca (a weed here, though native) and Mutsia spinosa. Embothrium coccineum was flowering too.
Yesterday we did a fantastic hike most of the day in a private conservation area that is designed to preserve Aextoxicon punctatum, a rare tree that almost does not exist in the wild because of its harvest for wood. The Valdivian rain forest here was really exciting and we raced from plant to plant exclaiming over the Luma apiculata, the ferns both huge and tiny, and sweet-smelling Myrceugenia. As we walked, we spotted the orange flowers of Mitraria coccinea on the path – this epiphyte was up high and we mostly saw it this way. I grow it in-ground in Seattle and it does VERY well for me. The forest was thick with vines of the Chilean national flower, Lapageria rosea, which may be my very favorite flower of all time. I grow it in Seattle and cherish the flowers, though it may be hard to grow in the colder parts of our area. Sadly, we were about six weeks too early to see it flower, though if all those vines had been dripping in flowers, you would probably never see us again. This hike would have been outstanding for the fabulous forest, but the fact that it was also set among the spectacular scenery along the Pacific Ocean did not hurt.
We also did a hike in Lahuen Nadi Park, which is set aside to protect Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce) another tall tree now rare because of over-harvest. This forest was also a humid forest, but very different from the other. The underbrush was thick with native bamboos (Chusquea species) and some of my beloved Drimys winteri. Lapageria relative Philesia magellanica was just opening here (Dan impishly tucked one behind his ear and tried to convince me that it was Lapageria – he had me going for about 2 seconds). It is similar to Lagageria, but smaller and less deeply colored. We also saw the wonderful flowers of Desfontainia spinosa, another favorite of mine, though only very high up. These flowers look like orange candy corns dangling from branches with holly-like leaves. I grow this in Seattle, but have not gotten it to flower and recently my mountain beavers attacked it, so I don't know if I will ever get it to flower.
I would be remiss if I did not recount our last day in the north as well. We visited an inspirational place near Santiago called "Herbarium" which has nothing to do with herbaria such as our Hyde Herbarium. Instead, they focus on horticultural therapy and the use of plants to heal those with physical and mental problems. Perhaps most important, they work with kids 3-14 that are from families with problems. Somewhat similar to Seattle Youth Garden Works, a collaboration we share with Seattle Tilth and work with at-risk teenagers, this program provides children with healing and learning.
We also spent time in the wine country, especially at a winery called De Martino. We had probably the best wine making tour I have ever had and then tasted three wines. The signature wine of Chile is the Carménère. The story is fascinating. The vines have been grown as merlot for years, about 15 years ago a French viticulturist was visiting and recognized it as different. DNA testing showed it was a different variety and now it is a very popular red wine.
We have been blessed with absolutely spectacular weather – crazy good, actually. Here in the Lake District it has been sunny and just perfect for hiking – warm, but not so hot that you overheat as you hike. I hope this continues the rest of our trip!
Tomorrow we head south for our final, and perhaps most exciting adventure – a visit to Torres del Paine National Park. None of us, including Dan or me, have been there before. Dan and I had to bear keeping a terrible secret from the group for a few days – when we first got here there was civil unrest over an increase in the cost of natural gas and tourism to the Park was blocked! It was resolved a few days ago and the adventure is on!
I hope you guys are all good.

'Comfort Dogs' Relieve Emotional Stress in Grieving Newtown
Five specially trained golden retrievers and eight handlers arrived on Saturday to comfort those touched by tragedy, Vida Johnston, director of operations for Lutheran Church Charities's K-9 Parish Comfort Dogs of Addison, Ill., tells PEOPLE.
Since then, they've been on the ground wherever the community needs them. Dogs such as Shami, of Darien, Ill., and Bamabas, of Portage, Ind., are comforting children and adults with cuddles and nuzzles after making the trek to Connecticut. Another dog, Prince, also came from Portage, and Chloe, whose Facebook page says she's "ready to go to work to give a lot of love bright and early," made her way from La Fox, Ill.
"A parent will say, 'Thank you so much, I saw my child smile – and they haven't smiled for days,' " Johnston says. "The kids are telling the dogs about their own pets, they're [helping] them laugh, they're helping some of that burden drop off a bit. And the dogs just lay there, saying the more the merrier."
With Christmas just days away, the comfort dogs – pups trained not to bark and to be canine good citizens – are helping to relieve the pain in a way that only dogs can.
"At a high school school today the reaction was overwhelming," says Johnston, who hears the tales from her bevy of handlers. "Dogs have the amazing ability to zero in on the person in front of them that has the greatest need. They can have six or seven people sitting there and they go to the one who has the loss. The dogs know; it's amazing to watch."
The furry troupe has grown to nine dogs and they plan to stay in Newtown through Saturday, providing comfort and stress relief at schools and at vigils, or wherever else they're called.
And while the children have benefitted a lot from canine comfort, adults are also quietly yielding to their charms as well.
"We're finding the adults are holding it in," says Johnston, "and then they see the dogs and you see them visibly start to release that tension."

Ebola: A Medical Drama Unfolds
Aug. 22, 2014 -- Ebola has been raging through the West African countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Liberia for nearly 9 months. With 2,615 cases and 1,427 deaths so far, it's the deadliest single outbreak of Ebola yet, according to the most recent update from the World Health Organization. At the current rate of illness, experts project the numbers from this epidemic will soon eclipse total cases and deaths of all other documented Ebola outbreaks combined.
It's also the first time Ebola infection has touched U.S. shores, igniting the public's interest along with its worst fears.
This is the story of how the epidemic started and the dramatic rescue effort that brought two infected Americans home.
Oct. 15, 2013 -- Dr. Kent Brantly, his wife Amber, who is a nurse, and their two children depart for Liberia to serve a 2-year medical mission with the nonprofit relief agency Samaritan's Purse. He is posted at ELWA Hospital in Monrovia.
"Ebola was not on the radar," Brantly says.
Dec. 6, 2013 -- A 2-year-old child dies in Guinea from a rapidly advancing illness that includes fever, black stool, and vomiting. A 3-year-old sister, their mother, grandmother, and great aunt also die after having the same symptoms.
Jan. 25, 2014 -- The village midwife who treated the family in Guinea, as well as many others in the area, is hospitalized. She dies 8 days later.
March 10 -- Hospitals and clinics around Gueckedou and Macenta, an area that touches the borders of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, alert the Guinea government's Ministry of Health to an outbreak of infectious disease characterized by fever, severe diarrhea, and vomiting.
March 12 -- Local teams from Medecins sans Frontieres, MSF, also known as Doctors Without Borders, are alerted to the outbreak. They notify their European office.
March 18 -- Disease detectives from MSF arrive to take blood samples for testing. The samples are sent to biosafety labs in France and Germany for analysis. Tests confirm the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus, with an initial 86% death rate.

Princess Eugenie Declines Concert Duet with Beyoncé
Princess Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, may have had a choice seat near the stage for Beyoncé's concert at London's O2 Arena Tuesday. But when the singing star pointed the microphone in the young royal's face and asked her to belt out a line from "Irreplaceable" as she does to audience members each night, Eugenie blanched, according to a report from the U.K.'s Mirror.
According to the report, which cites an eyewitness, Beyoncé didn't apparently recognize Eugenie when she asked her to sing the line "to the left/to the left" in her hit song.
Instead, when she held the microphone out, Eugenie dodged the opportunity, ducking away in embarrassment and dropping to the ground, according to the Mirror report. "All Eugenie's friends were teasing her about her stage fright for hours afterwards," the paper reports, quoting a concertgoer.
Eugenie, 23, reportedly attended the concert with friends, including designer Matthew Williamson, Donna Air, a British television personality, and James Middleton, brother of the Duchess of Cambridge.
Nevertheless, Eugenie was enjoying herself at the show, and the Mirror reports that before the "Irreplaceable" incident, "[She] was really excitable and filming the whole thing on her iPhone like any other fan."

Fifty years ago, President Johnson declared "War on Poverty." Congress funded Head Start, Medicaid, a job corps., VISTA, and Medicare to assist children, the disabled, the poor, the unemployed and the elderly. Paying all Americans a living wage, still unrealized today, while providing an economic safety net were accepted goals. NYTimes estimates more than 90 percent of allocated government assistance isn't fraudulent. Regardless, well-paid media talking heads cynically redirect the frustration of the disappearing middle class, refocusing blame on the truly needy that have even less.
We retreated from the war on poverty, neglecting the needed support and revitalization of our urban and rural communities; instead, sending young warriors and countless tax dollars to destructive foreign battlefields while poorer American neighborhoods devolved into violent urban battlefields of growing despair. Government must refocus assistance toward our neighborhoods. On April 4, 1967, exactly one year to the day before he was assassinated, Rev. King condemned the reallocation of tax dollars from minimizing poverty to maximizing war.
And so it continues.
Fifty years ago, Congress funded a "War on Poverty" to expand the middle class. Far too many Americans still live in or on the brink of poverty, many as close as a lost job or family medical emergency away. Today, Congress' politics-driven inaction further shrinks the middle class, ignoring the many while serving the excess of the wealthiest few.

Pfizer Animal Health Helps to Aid Stranded Whales
Pfizer Animal Health Helps to Aid Stranded Whales
Pfizer supplies veterinarians with antibiotics to support recovery efforts
MADISON, N.J. — July 6, 2011 — Pfizer Animal Health helped three sick pilot whales that were stranded in the Florida Keys in May by providing antibiotics to the veterinarians treating them.
"We received a request for injectable antibiotics after the whales were found to have infections from being stranded," said Christina Dougherty, VMD, Veterinary Medical Information and Product Support Manager for Pfizer Animal Health. "As veterinarians, our mission is to help animals, no matter what the shape or size. It felt great to be able to provide a product for animals that desperately needed it."
The antibiotics were used to treat severe pneumonia, which developed as a result of the stranding. Rehabilitation efforts continue at the Marine Mammal Conservancy rehabilitation center in Key Largo, FL.
"Without these drugs, the whales were at risk of dying from severe lung infection," said Micah Brodsky, VMD, the veterinarian at the Marine Mammal Conservancy who requested the antibiotics. "Pfizer's effort to get the antibiotics to us quickly was critical to saving the whales' lives."
Over the past year, Pfizer Animal Health has donated more than $90,000 in products to help veterinarians treat animals in need through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
The AZA donation is a component of Pfizer Animal Health's Commitment to Veterinarians™ platform—which offers support through training and education, research and development, investing in the future of the veterinary profession, and philanthropy.

on December 2, 2012 - 12:36 AM
, updated December 2, 2012 at 12:39 AM
OLEAN – Mark Schmidt didn't bother trying to dance around the questions after the game because they're not going away. Andrew Nicholson was his best player last season before landing in the NBA, so let's not kid ourselves into believing that St. Bonaventure is somehow better off without him.
Nicholson was the most dominant forward to come through Olean in decades, a player who scored from any position on the floor while everybody else kicked back and enjoyed the show. He led them into the NCAA tournament. He was a first-round pick. He was their best player since Bob Lanier.
Agreed? Yes.
The Bonnies aren't better without him, but they are better-balanced this season now that Nicholson has jumped to the Orlando Magic. Schmidt merely needed to scroll down the scoring sheet after a dramatic 82-79 victory over UB for evidence that the Bonnies can win their share of games in the Atlantic 10 in the post-Nicholson era.
Demitrius Conger had a season-high 20 points, including two critical free throws with 1.1 seconds remaining. Chris Johnson finished with 14. Matthew Wright made a key steal and finished with 11 points. Charlon Kloof was in double figures. Marquise Simmons and Eric Mosely had nine points apiece.
"We don't have that inside presence that we had last year,'' Schmidt said. "You look at our four leading scorers [Saturday], and it was all perimeter guys. That's how we're going to win. We're going to do it collectively. One guy is not going to do it every game for us. It's going to be a different guy every night. And that's what's happened.''
OK, so their names don't exactly roll off your tongue. The loud and proud student section in the Reilly Center would be hard-pressed to name their starting five. But the Bonnies can become a dangerous team if they compete in conference games the way they did for most of the game against UB.
It starts with Schmidt, who signed a five-year contract extension over the summer. He was masterful in rotating his point guards, maximizing quality minutes from his big men, getting his team to share the ball and getting everyone involved. Conger just so happened to take his turn atop the score sheet Saturday night.
UB didn't figure to offer a serious challenge considering how it had been playing this season, a transition year. The Bulls couldn't put the ball in the ocean from a rowboat in an embarrassing loss to Temple in which they scored 39 points. UB had that many in the first half against Bona.
The same team that couldn't shoot straight suddenly couldn't miss. At one point in the second half, UB was draining so many three-pointers that Bona was begging to give up a layup. But UB was capable of making just enough mistakes to get beat and none was bigger than Tony Watson's errant pass with 30 seconds remaining.
It certainly wasn't the best game ever played. At times, it was ugly. It's hard to imagine a team that made 22 of 38 free throws won the contest at the foul line. UB was only 12 of 23 from the line. The Bulls should have backed up to the three-point line, where they finished 13 for 24.
Wright, who had flashes of brilliance earlier in the game before falling quiet, stepped in front of Watson's pass and finished the play with a soft layup to give Bona an 80-79 lead. Conger made two free throws in succession – in this game, it passed for a shocking development – that ensured the win.
Johnson has emerged this season, his story one of many coming from around the world. He grew up in hockey-loving North Preston, Nova Scotia, played on the Canadian Junior National team, spent two years in Texas, committed to Liberty University but instead concentrated on – get this one – academics.
The 6-foot-5 swingman averaged 6.6 points per game and made one Division I start before this season. He's leading Bona in scoring at 16.1 points per game through six games this season. He's one of several players in their little melting pot who have helped overcome Nicholson's departure.
Kloof was born in South America via the Netherlands with a pit stop in the Canary Islands. He played internationally before arriving in the United States. Wright, who made the key steal late in the game, is from Toronto. Youssou Ndoye is from Senegal. The 7-footer altered the final in-bounds pass after Conger's free throws.
They took turns. They survived against UB. And they're learning to survive without Nicholson
"That's one of the strengths of this team,'' Conger said. "On any given night, somebody could have a good night. It's not like you're keying on one person, someone who's going to score on that particular night.''

Psoralen Plus Ultraviolet Light Therapy (PUVA) for Atopic DermatitisSkip to the navigation
Treatment Overview
Psoralen plus ultraviolet light therapy (PUVA) combines a type of medicine (psoralen) with ultraviolet A (UVA) light to treat atopic dermatitis. The psoralen makes the skin more sensitive to the ultraviolet light. PUVA can be an effective treatment for severe atopic dermatitis.
An example of a psoralen is methoxsalen (Oxsoralen).
A psoralen medicine is taken 1½ to 2 hours before exposure to UVA light. This treatment is repeated 2 to 3 times a week, and treatment length varies. The dose of medicine is not increased, but the amount of light can be increased.
During photochemotherapy, you stand in a booth that contains light tubes that give off UV light. Goggles should be worn to protect your eyes during treatment. Men need to shield their genitals to avoid an increased risk of genital cancer.
What To Expect After Treatment
As your skin recovers from treatment, it should be checked frequently (at least once or twice a year) for signs of damage or skin cancer.
Why It Is Done
PUVA is usually only used for adults who have severe and hard-to-treat cases of atopic dermatitis. It typically is not recommended for children.
Risks related to PUVA treatment include:
- Skin cancer and cancer. Exposure to UV light may result in skin cancer. The male genitals are highly susceptible to the cancer-causing effects of UV therapy.
- Skin damage. Exposure to UV light may lead to sunburn and skin damage.
- Cataracts. The risk of cataracts can be reduced by regular use of sunglasses that block UV light when you are outdoors.
- Other skin diseases getting worse.
What To Think About
Because of the side effects, PUVA is not generally recommended for children unless all other treatment fails to control severe atopic dermatitis.

The Ridgeview School operates on the grounds of the Southeastern Correctional Institution (SCI) located in Lancaster, Ohio. SCI serves over 1,500 minimum and medium security inmates. The SCI Ridgeview School is proud to offer the following educational programs:
Ridgeview School's Transitional Education Program (TEP) offers a variety of information to prepare offenders to leave the institution with the skills required to locate employment and become productive tax-paying citizens. The students create a resume and develop computer skills. They also learn about personal finance, budgeting, obtaining credit, and maintaining a good credit rating. Guest speakers provide additional information about community resources. The TEP participants are excited about the program and the myriad of available information.
The summer of 2009 brought SIMS Welding to SCI's Career Technical Welding program. We were fortunate enough to receive this new equipment due to a Youthful Offender grant for this secondary program. SIMS welders are a virtual welding process, which gives a real-time view of the weld bead, using either shielded metal arc welding or gas metal arc welding. Students are afforded the opportunity to perform proper set-up of the equipment, develop muscle memory and stamina. Visual cues such as travel speed, work angles, travel angles, etc., can be used individually or simultaneously as the student progresses. SIMS is not only a great starter tool, but is also cost-effective, since it saves on material use, such as steel and electrodes. The students are not only being exposed to top-of-the-line equipment, but are enjoying their time doing so!

THE EAGLES had won, and the offense had clicked nicely in a romp over the visiting Giants.
So Marty Mornhinweg was surprised when Michael Vick approached him after the game and announced, "I'll see you Tuesday at 11."
The Eagles were off that Tuesday, and Mornhinweg wanted his quarterback, in his first full season behind center in 4 years, to rest as much as possible, especially as the team prepared for Game 11.
Mornhinweg told Vick, "No. Whatever it is, it can wait until Wednesday."
"No," Vick replied. "Tuesday. At 11."
Tuesday at 11 they met on the Eagles' indoor practice field. Mornhinweg drilled Vick on footwork issues that cost Vick the chance to connect on a couple of big plays. During the 2 years of Vick's reintegration to the NFL and his re-education as a quarterback, it always has been footwork with him.

today began our adventures in babywearing. He was born quickly and beautifully. Not fully pain-free, but yes totally med-free and intervention-free.
We didn't even know your name until we met you, our Grayson Roger. Middle name after your paternal grampa.
Gray, you weren't much, quite a small thing, but you made our family complete.
Your brothers adored you.
Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart..."
You were less than a minute old and we couldn't imagine life without you.

TORONTO -- The general managers will hold their first meeting of the 2011-12 season Tuesday in Toronto, and it is likely that the 1-3-1 forecheck utilized by the Tampa Bay Lightning will be a hot button topic for discussion.
The Lightning's version of the patient forecheck became a League-wide conversation piece last week when the Philadelphia Flyers opted not to attack it but instead sit back and wait. Tampa Bay chose not to attack either, but instead wait for the Flyers to attempt to move the puck up the ice.
The officials had to blow the whistle to stop the play because nothing was happening; the puck had stopped moving.

A West Seneca man who got stuck in the mud in his four-wheel drive vehicle ended up with bigger problems Wednesday afternoon when he allegedly took someone else's vehicles without permission to try to tow his vehicle out of the muck.
Nicholas Wilkey, 20, was arrested about 4 p.m. in a muddy patch off Clinton Street by West Seneca Police Officers Paul Daley and John Luterek, who accused Wilkey of trying to use two other vehicles parked on the property at 4534 Clinton St. to pull his vehicle out of the mud.
Wilkey was charged with two counts each of unauthorized used of a motor vehicle and criminal mischief, as well as a single count of trespassing. He was ordered to West Seneca Town Court on Nov. 27.

Al-Ahram (Egypt) � an Egyptian daily controlled by the Egyptian government: the president appoints the editor. He (and the editor of the other government owned dailies, al-Gumhuriyya and al-Akhbar) is given substantial leeway in his editorial practices, assuming he avoids certain �taboos.� Al-Ahram is the largest Arabic paper in the world and has established the Al-Ahram Regional Press Institute.Al-Ahram al-'Arabi (Egypt) � a weekly published by the Dar al-Ahram publishing house. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is Usama Saraya, and the chairman of the publishing house is Ibrahim Nafi', who is Al-Ahram's editor in chief. Although both newspapers are published by the same publishing house, al-Ahram and al-Ahram al-'Arabi are different. The editorials in al-Ahram are always supportive of government positions, while the editorials in Al-Ahram al-'Arabi are critical of the government and also other countries. The paper publishes very strong anti-Israeli views. In addition, Sheikh Qardhawi has a platform to publish his views there, which in turn, gives the paper a religious dimension.Al-Ahram al-Masa�i (Egypt) � also published by the Al-Ahram publishing house.Akhbar al-Khalij (Bahrain) � a pro-government daily and Bahrain's oldest newspaper; Editor in Chief - Anwar Muhammad 'Abd ar-Rahman.Arab News (Saudi Arabia) � the First English Daily Newspaper in Saudi Arabia. Published simultaneously from Jeddah, Riyadh and Dhahran. Established in 1975 by Saudi Research & Publishing Co. (SRPC). Distribution: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Near East, North Africa, Europe and USA. ArabNews Online is published by ArabNews from its offices located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Editor in Chief Mr. Khaled Al-Maeena.Al-Ayyam (Palestinian Authority) � a government daily.Ad-Dustur (Jordan) � a government-owned paper that expresses pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli views. It is considered a high quality paper.Al-Gumhouriyya (Egypt) � a government-controlled daily.Al-Hayat al-Jadida (Palestinian Authority) � the Palestinian Authority�s daily.Al-Ittihad (United Arab Emirates) � a government daily, which is emphasizing the government�s policy and its achievements in interior and foreign affairs. The paper is publishing all kinds of news related to the Arab and Muslim arena, having a wide network of correspondents in the Arab countries and the west. The paper often publishes exclusive and special reports concerning actual issues, mainly about Iraq and Lebanon. The paper is being published by Emirates Media (www.emi.ae); Editor in Chief - 'Ali 'Abdallah Abu ar-Rish.Al-Mustaqbal (Lebanon) � a Lebanese daily, owned by the deceased Rafiq al-Hariri.Al-Quds (Palestinian Authority) � an opposition daily, which does not exceed the government policy.Ar-Rai (Jordan) � a government daily; expresses the approaches of the Jordanian regime.Ar-Rai al-�Amm (Kuwait) � a Kuwaiti daily.Ar-Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) - a Saudi daily, one of the four principal Saudi papers (the three others are: al-Madina, al-Jazira and al-Watan). The paper presents a relatively conservative attitude, while emphasizing (as most of the Saudi papers) its praise of the Royal family. Generally, the Saudi government lays severe limitations on the freedom of press and has a strict censorship, even on the foreign press that enters Saudi Arabia. Since the Saudi press is government-oriented, it concentrates on praising the Saudi Royal Family. Of course, opposition or independent newspapers do not exist in Saudi Arabia. However, the London-based Saudi press has more independent features.Tehran Times (Iran) � Iranian Foreign Ministry organ.Tishrin (Syria) � a state sponsored and owned newspaper, in which the journalists are appointed and instructed by the government (The English-language Syria Times is published by Tishrin as well).Al-Usbu� (Egypt) � an Egyptian weekly oppositional.Al-Wafd (Egypt) � Al-Wafd is the main opposition paper in Egypt. The paper criticizes the regime on a wide range of issues - from economy to internal and foreign policy. However, it is important to note that the criticism is on subjects that are allowed by the regime. The paper is one of the most acceptable channels of opposition activism, since the Egyptians see themselves as supporters of freedom of the press, and the paper is supposed to be concrete proof to this idea. Al-Wafd expresses extreme anti-Israel and anti-Semitic views, in articles and cartoons.Al-Watan (Oman) � the only privately owned daily - owned by a business group; established in 1971; Editor in-chief - Muhammad Ibn Suleiman at-Tani; enjoys high popularity; has a circulation of 40,000. Although the daily is privately owned, the government has a right (by law) to censor materials.Al-Watan (Qatar) � Al-Watan is one of the five Qatari dailies. Al-Watan�s chairman is Hamad bin Sahim al Thani, a member of the royal family (All of the papers are owned by different branches of the royal family). The Foreign Minister, Hamed bin Jasem bin Jaber al Thani, owns half of the newspaper.Al-Watan (Saudi Arabia) � a daily owned by the governor of the �Asir district.

Back from Beijing!
Hello, after a long silence. Sure you all missed me!!
What you might not know is that, in between postings, I occasionally (too occasionally...) work as a producer. My latest and greatest just wrapped in Beijing, China. We had a great cast, including MyAnna Buring, whom you might know from "The Impossible Planet" and "Lesbian Vampire Killers." Me was AWESOME - she really kicks ass in the film. Can't say much about it yet as we're under orders from SyFy, but that should be enough to let you find us on the 'net. I'm sure Me wouldn't mind if I posted a pic of her here... There she is, with fellow thespians Sarah Douglas ("Superman"), Andrew Pleavin ("300") and Simon Thorp ("Jekyll").
And, for another shameless plug, the film I executive produced but never set foot on set is airing soon. See the trailer on YouTube below.
Please watch it (we need good ratings!) and let me know what you think of it!

It looks really good. Ilike the lead. I saw him in a great TV show called LITTLE MEN based on the classic books LITTLE WOMEN AND LITTLE MEN. He's very good and this looks better than the TV series and seems to have a lot of action and merit.
Hey Amy, the trailer looks very good. Keep us posted on when it is due to air.

Chances are, if you like trying your luck at the tables or on the slots, you've already been to Las Vegas.
After all, it is the premier gambling destination in the world. No news there, right? But perhaps you had a tough time breaking away from the casino to venture out and see what else the city has to offer.
Whether traveling with family, friends or your significant other, there's so much more to Las Vegas than rolling dice.
Of course, if you're staying at a place like Aria Hotel and Casino, one of Las Vegas' newest properties, breaking away from your temporary living quarters during that Vegas getaway won't be easy. Located in the heart of Vegas' new City Center, Aria plays hosts to some of the city's hottest attractions.
The guest rooms at Aria feature some of the latest technology like one-touch control of lighting, room temperature, television/video systems, music, wake-up calls, draperies and requests for service through a single, easy-to-use remote control. Guests can set the system to wake up gradually through controlled temperature, lighting, curtain opening and preferred music.
The hotel features three pools and Liquid Pool Lounge, an adults only water playground if you're into more of a party scene. Be sure to have that credit card on hand, though, if you plan on visiting Liquid. The pool is a bit pricey but partying in Vegas usually is.
Of course, the party at Aria doesn't stop poolside. The hotel features a number of lounges and HAZE, one of the latest clubs presented by the industry leaders, The Light Group. The plush club features a one-of-a-kind sound system for an unforgettable nightlife experience at the hotel.
Aria also features a unique onsite spa and salon that offers everything from massage therapies to facial care. Just don't get too comfortable because there's so much more to do.
Once out and about, picking a spot to dine in Vegas won't be easy because there are so many options.
If you're in the mood for a more casual atmosphere, there's The Pub at the Monte Carlo. With more than 70 beers on tap and countless big screen TVs, The Pub is a great spot to stop in and grab a cold one and catch a game while in Vegas. And with a menu that includes fresh mango chicken quesadillas, grilled fish and some of the biggest burgers you've ever seen, you'll find more than enough to eat.
The Pub is also known for its famous adult milkshakes, such as "The Luck of the Irish" or "Peppermint Snowflake," and hosts live entertainment on the weekends.
For fine dining, look no further than Michael Mina's American Fish located at Aria. The menu includes signature dishes like shrimp and grits (loved it), cornmeal-crusted rainbow trout, and Hawaii Big Eye Tuna, and impeccable service.
Another one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas is the Burger Bar. Whether you're in the mood for a beef, buffalo, turkey or vegetarian burger, you'll find it here along with a range of gourmet toppings and buns. If you like sushi, be sure to check out Social House, now located in City Center.

Georgia Holt has never been a particularly preachy type of mother, especially when it comes to doling out words of wisdom to her kids, insists her oldest daughter, Cher.
"She never gave me and my sister [actress Georganne LaPiere Bartylak] advice because, truthfully, she knew we'd never take it," admits the iconic entertainer, 66. "Instead, we learned about life by listening to her talk about the things she did wrong and the things she did right." Holt's journey from a rural Arkansas girl to an aspiring starlet in Los Angeles is captured in Lifetime's May 6 one-hour special Dear Mom, Love Cher.
The intimate documentary will unleash the plucky 86-year-old onto the world – but her daughter isn't ready for her full pop culture immersion. "I won't allow her on Twitter," says Cher. "I have no filter, and neither does she!"
What are your childhood memories of your mom?
She and her friends were so beautiful. When they walked into the room, everything stopped. She was also an amazing dresser. We based the costumes in Mermaids on pictures of her from the '50s.
Were you always close?
Yes, but we fought a lot when I was young. I was really strong-headed, even then.
Sounds like you were a hell-raiser.
Not exactly, but I did a couple of things like running away when I was 11. I hopped a train with my friends. I was just very adventurous – but never disrespectful. She wouldn't have put up with that.
She was married six times. What did she pass on to you about love?
She once said that in her day you couldn't just live with someone, so she got married instead. Otherwise she probably would have been married just once.
Did she ever chime in on your relationships?
I had a little problem with her over Sonny [Bono], but that didn't take her too long to get over. She listened first before making a judgment, so I could always talk to her about my romances. She stressed the importance of being sure that the person you are with is the person you love.
What does she think of your son Chaz's sex change?
My sister, my brother-in-law and [my son] Elijah said to her, "Georgia, we just wanted to tell you that Chaz is becoming a man." And Mom said, "That's interesting, sweetheart." We all flipped out. We were laughing so hard, we had tears in our eyes. Her reaction was less than anyone else's in the family.

Automated glass production abroad almost forced the owners out of business. The glass producers, the town of Hergiswill and above all Roberto Niederer saved the works from closure. The artisan tradition was revived and combined with the now prevalent design. Today over 100 glassmakers are employed at the Glassworks.
Museums and Exhibitions
The exhibition "Formed by Fire" tells the story of glassmaking and of the Hergiswil Glassworks. Visitors are guided through a labyrinth of scenes by light and sound. The decorated sets of the individual rooms reflect the development of the craft in the Hergiswil Glassworks and the economic ups and downs of the company. One can watch the glassmakers as they produce the glass at the furnace, before continuing the tour through the exhibits "Glass Archives," "Phenomenal Glass," "ecnirP and ssecnirP" and "Flüeliglas".
Glass Labyrinth
This is an accessible and moving experience for the visitor that expresses the fascination associated with glass. Visitors are not just viewers - they are participants who immerse themselves in a world of glass.
In the Hergiswil Glassworks on Lake Lucerne, near the City of Lucerne, Switzerland's first glass labyrinth has opened its doors. In an area spread over 99 square meters, visitors are guided by ultramodern light and sound effects along 77 glass panels. After entering this palace of glass the eyes need some time to get used to the dim light refracted in the glass walls. As the visitors head for the exit, they take care not to bump into anything. This work of art, which consists of light, sound and illusion, is an impressive experience. A tour takes from seven to fifteen minutes.
The entrance fee is CHF 5. Slippers and gloves for the tour are available at the ticket counter.
Alex Schmid built the 7-meter-high ball path from countless glasses taken from the Glassworks' collection. A long slide, a large quartz sandbox and a variety of water games offer delightful adventures for children.
Guided tours are arranged free of charge for groups of ten or more, upon reservation. Duration: 90 minutes. No reservation is required for small groups or individual visitors.
Try your hand at glass blowing
Visitors can learn to blow glass. In a special small oven in the visitors' gallery, glass is smelted just like in the large furnace. A glassmaker takes the liquid glass with a pipe out of the oven, forms a ball and readies it for blowing. Now the visitor can blow his own ball of glass. After a cooling period of 15 minutes, one can take the self-made souvenir home.
