Hi DannyBoy
How ironic, I just stopped my Lorazepam this past week, although I was only taking 1mg as needed (when I have an attack). My doctor decided to change my panic attack med to Clonazepam b/c I've been taking Lorazepam for about 7 years now and it was starting to make me feel sick when I took one.
I am very experienced with withdrawls to meds, so maybe I can at least provide some comfort. When I'm coming off a med, the one most important thing is to go off of it slowly, dose by dose if possible (your doctor should be helping you with this). That will at least minimize the effects. I also make sure that I am drinking a lot of water, eating regularly and getting good rest. When going through withdrawls it's even more important to not over do things, and to take it easy. Make sure if you feel dizzy, to sit down (get up slowly after lying down). If it's hot weather where you are, I would try to stay as cool as possible. It's also best to stay away from alcohol completely.
Withdrawls just make you feel sick...it can get pretty bad. But you just need to take extra care of yourself until it's over.
Hope that helps a bit....Remember, lots of water.
Take Care,
Thanks so much for your post. I am worried, I've been on high doses for some time now with other benzos added in, so we'll see I start my titration down friday.....fingers crossed
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts, if things get bad just post what you're going through and we'll keep in touch.

In the company's presentation to investors over the next month, chief executive Ivan Glasenberg – nicknamed "Ivan the Great" – will attempt to present an aggressive strategy for growth that will be opportunistic and deliver value to investors.
Although the company is ruling out naming its target wish list, most industry watchers have a pretty clear idea what Ivan the Great is dreaming about.
First and foremost is of course Xstrata, the London listed Anglo-Swiss mining group which Glencore already holds 34pc of.
The two companies, which famously have a love/hate relationship, have been dancing around how to construct a merger for years.
Although Glencore has eventually chosen a straight IPO, it also examined the option of reversing into Xstrata, which would have given it a stock market listing by default.
Last year Liberum Capital said putting the two companies together would create a formidable trading and mining colossus that could "deliver the scale to undertake very large capital projects or transformational M&A."
But Xstrata chief Mick Davis, who is just as strong willed as Mr Glasenberg, is understood to have resisted the idea of a merger with Glencore. Those on the Xstrata side were worried that the combination may be priced in Glencore's favour rather than Xstrata's. Instead, insiders say that for any merger to be considered Glencore first has to create a market value for its shares.
But Xstrata is just the beginning. Glencore has already said it would target companies worth about $5bn, but most people assume that it will make much larger corporate acquisitions using its shares.
Last week analysts at Bernstein tipped Anglo American as a Glencore takeover target.
"We believe that Anglo American is the most likely acquisition target among the large diversified miners, and could envisage interest in the company from a number of its peers, especially considering Anglo's share price is trading on a 50pc discount to its sum of the parts," said the broker.
Another business that reportedly appeals to Glencore is France's Louis Dreyfus, one of the biggest traders of agricultural commodities such as rice, orange juice, wheat and sugar.
Recently the company's chairman Margarita Louis-Dreyfus said: "the group has numerous projects for which we need money. All options are possible, between a stock market listing, a merger or turning to a private investor."
While Glencore is known as a commodities trader - controlling 60pc of the third-party zinc market, 50pc of copper, 45pc of lead and almost a third of thermal coal – almost 62pc of Glencore's 2010 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (ebitda) of $6.2bn came from "industrial" sources – its mining operations.
They ranged from the 74pc-owned Katanga Mining, which is listed in Toronto, to the 100pc-owned Prodeco Group, a Colombian coal miner.
Glencore said this week that it will pay $3.2bn to increase its stake in a Kazakh zinc producer Kazzinc from 50.7pc to ownership to 93pc, through $2.2bn in cash and $1bn in new shares at the IPO price.
With access to the public equity markets, Glencore would have greater ability to buy working mines, smelters and refineries. Ownership gives Glencore the marketing rights to their output creating better synergies and higher revenues.
Hybrid trading and mining groups are rare and Glencore's growth is all tied up in the belief that the commodities cycle will endure.

Fifth official: The last look at the weekend
Few of us like Monday but The Fifth Official does, for it brings the chance for him to point the finger and laugh. Here he pulls out the pretty, the puzzling and the downright pig-ugly from a five-star weekend.
Cards galore at the Bridge
The first meeting between Manchester United and Chelsea since that night in Moscow was always likely to be a bit chunky, and right enough it was. There were eight bookings in the game and only one of those for a player in a blue shirt. As you can imagine, this delighted Sir Alex Ferguson, who looked like he was fit to burst. Either that or the waistline of his particularly snug-fitting tracky bottoms was digging into his lungs given how high he'd hoisted them up. Think Simon Cowell and then some.
As for the game, Nicolas Anelka should have been carded for his early contender for glaring miss of the season. Astonishing it was. Apparently £15m buys you a striker who somehow fails to hit the target from four yards out with the goal gaping. Not that you'd know it from his expression, which is permanently the same. I bet you could sit him down, tell him he's won £250m on the lottery, been asked out for half a shandy by Scarlett Johansson or that his house had exploded and that sulking-mug wouldn't even offer up a flicker.
City slickers on song
Robinho must still be labouring under the misapprehension that he really did sign for Chelsea the way Manchester City are playing at the minute. He revelled in his free role as City humbled a usually stout and organised Portsmouth team by half a dozen goals at Eastlands on Sunday, and presumably laughed until he fell over when he found out David James is currently England's number one keeper.
Robinho might not be able to pick out the city of Manchester on a map, or recount any name from the famous title winning side of 1968, but the Brazilian certainly looks like he's having fun making fools of seasoned professionals like Sylvain Distin and Sol Campbell. Mind you, I'm sure he'd still be smiling if Pompey beat them 6-0 given that around £140k is gently thudding into his bank account every week.
Ashley nowhere to be seen
Newcastle United's team coach must have a half decent sat-nav system installed because with their management's woeful lack of direction at the minute they'd probably have ended up in Tajikistan had they organised it themselves. Gianfranco Zola must have wet his pants with delight when he saw his first game in charge of the 'Appy Ammers was against a rudderless, managerless and clueless club who are the Olympic gold medallists at implosion. Mike Ashley was last seen on the terraces necking a pint at the Emirates days before the Kevin Keegan row blew up.
At Upton Park on Saturday he knew he'd be used as a punch bag had he tried to employ the same tactics, so instead he spent two hours skulking in an executive box with his cronies, complete with his trademark Laurel and Hardy grin. He'd have to have downed 17 pints of fizzy lager in a row in order to forget what a mess he is making of a once proud and respected football club though. And don't get me started on Dennis Wise...
Theo-mania hits town
So instead, onto Theo Walcott, he's our saviour you know. After THAT hat-trick in Croatia the 19-year-old was thrust into the limelight like a pushy mother forcing her goofy daughter to murder another Britney Spears song in front of a sneering reality show panel. Forget the fact that before he scored his first goal in Zagreb he was having a Grade A stinker; now he's the best thing since sliced bread and we've all caught a dose of Theo-mania.
All of a sudden we are forced to endure countless tabloid articles about how good he was at school, his preferred breakfast or what his other half's favourite soap is. It is arguably what we in Britain do better than anywhere else on earth. Build them up, build them up, build them up ... wait until he shanks a pen in the quarter-finals of the World Cup then dismantle the kid like he was a sideboard from Ikea. Then it'll be wasted talent this, WAG-obsessed that and before you know it he'll be drinking white spirit and begging outside White Hart Lane, which brings me neatly to my next point.
Laughable Spurs still unable to focus
Spurs. Ha ha ha. That is all I was intending to write about another mind-numbingly dull performance from Juande Ramos' sorry shower, but then I was politely reminded of my contractual obligation to hit the word count in order to be remunerated for this. So, allow me to elaborate. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I even wanted Spurs to beat Wigan if only to shut up their hilarious crackpot of a chairman Dave Whelan. According to his gospel four goals adds up to Amir Zaki being as good as Alan Shearer, and Steve Bruce is also "one of the best four managers in the world". Now that is delusion of the highest order. Why doesn't he just go the whole hog and claim Titus Bramble has fulfilled his tag as the most promising defender of his generation? Mind you, even Calamity Bramble himself managed to shut out the Spurs and their £30m-worth of attacking talent. Now that is funny.

A portrait of one of the greatest American food writers of the 20th century, Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher, whose writing transcended recipes and reviews to probe our deep-seated relationship to our appetites. Assembled from diaries, journalism, and short stories, Kelly Nespor's play creates a vivid tableau of the life of this preeminent and influential gourmet.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast production featuring Anne Archer, Kurt Ehrmann, Jennifer Friedmann, Lily Shaw, and David Tierney. Directed by Paul Frellick and recorded before a live audience.
©1997 M. F. K. Fisher (P)1997 L.A. Theatre Works
"Anne Archer heads the cast of this recorded performance featuring excerpts from food writer M.F.K. Fisher's works. Archer illuminates both the sensuousness and the humor of Fisher's observations on food and people, while the supporting cast provides balance and contrast. Because this is a stage production, listeners can expect to hear sound effects and the audience's laughter, both of which add to the theater ambiance." (AudioFile)
"Frustrating and Not Particularly Entertaining"
Because I've read many of M.F.K. Fisher's books over the years, I was able to understand what was going on int his piece and where the various events fit into the story of her life.
If M.F.K. Fisher were writing today when we have a sea of food writers, I doubt she'd be much of a blip on anyone's radar. Because she was one of the first and few, we follow her.
The thing about reading (or here, hearing) Fisher is that she's terribly frustrating as she seems to hint around the facts and events of her life and never want to commit to revealing them. Because of this stories lead up to endings we expect to have meaning or significance, but don't.
When I was young I was captivated by her simple, Bohemian life in France, but over the years as I read more and more, I realized she wants to talk and ramble, but never wants to even spell out events, let alone their impact.
I don't think she was a woman who was very happy with people, and she seems more comfortable in her mind. SHE knows the twists and turns of her life, but she isn't going to reveal them, just hint at them and things that happened then back away, leaving one less than satisfied.
She may have satisfied her hungers, but she creates hungers in the reader she never fulfills.
Beyond that, this isn't even particularly entertaining. Events from her writing are strung together, but never in a way that they seem to impact on one another or build to tell a story.
The narration is excellent. This, however, is lacking and unsatisfying in every way, and completely forgettable when all is said and done.

Saw Krystal's weird looking headband and did a manicure with that in mind.
I got some eyeballs from Born Pretty Store to do a review for them. They have these in other colors. I just chose the blue ones. Unlike the wobbly eyes I used to make minions, these don't wobble. I love how there are a few shades of blue giving it more depth. They look cool, don't they?

Former track coach accused of sex with student on trip
Students and parents at Freedom High School in Tampa reacted with disgust Tuesday as they learned a former track coach is accused of having sex with a student.
According to a Tampa Police report, the relationship started during a track meet in Gainesville in September. Smith, who was a volunteer track and cross country coack, is accused of giving a 17-year-old girl alcohol and telling her to go to his hotel room.
According to the report, Smith, 48, and the teenager had sex twice that night and a third time during another away track meet a week later.
"Teachers, you're here to teach, not to be involved with a student sexually or anything like that," said Kim Martinez, whose son is a student at Freedom. "It don't make no sense. It messes up the kid. The parent's got to deal with this. It's a distraction."
A schools spokesperson said Smith was fired in November after allegations of an inappropriate conversation surfaced.
"We were able to confirm some of the details of that conversation, so based on that we let that person go that day," said Tanya Arja, a spokesperson for Hillsborough County Schools.
The district said investigators then uncovered the full extent of the relationship, but the district was unaware until Smith's arrest this week.
Freedom High School's principal notified parents Tuesday morning.
"I just don't understand why teachers are trying to have sexual intercourse and stuff with students," said J.C. Duran, a senior student at Freedom. "I feel really bad for her in a way too because now she's going to have all of this on her."
Smith is charged him with two counts of sexual battery. He was being held in Hillsborough County on $150,000 bond.

June 3rd, 2006, 01:14 PM #1What is the best way to pay int'l affiliates?
We have just signed up a large number of international affiliates and I would like some suggestions on how best to pay them. We are concerned they may have difficulty cashing local American checks. It needs to cost effective as we will be sending out several thousand checks a month.
Thanks All
June 3rd, 2006, 05:08 PM #2
Two suggestions:
1) Make sure they can set payment thresholds so that they only get checks that are large enough to be worthwhile to them.
2) You might want to talk with Brian at ShareASale.com to find out what they use. I know they offer direct deposit to quite a few foreign countries. He spoke about the service they use at an industry event.

Thanks Michael
Good suggestions. I'll look into that.
June 3rd, 2006, 07:30 PM #5
I'll look into Neteller. Thanks fot the link
June 3rd, 2006, 07:50 PM #6
Just been reading on the Neteller site. It may be a good solution. Can you tell me about your experience with it?
Do you know of anyproblems people have had with withdrawls or transfers?

It's a real beauty (at least from the affiliates side) The merchants just send the money to my Neteller Account and from there I can either do the Direct Deposit to my bank account or leave the money there and use the Neteller Debit Card.
If it's ok with the mods I can post a link to an casino affiliate forum where you can get more feedback from merchants and affiliates.
EDITED to add: nevermind, sent him the link via PM
June 4th, 2006, 12:19 AM #8
Hi Starlink
Similar to Neteller we have been testing out International Debit cards, these allow you to deposit funds into a US bank account and for the recipiant to pull the money out at any ATM machine world wide.
I also use the system for paying staff as you can do card to card transfers and payment collections.
Drop me a PM and I'll introduce you to the firm we use if you like

Hi Chris
Long time no speak!
does this program require int'l merchants to have a US account? It might be a solution for our national resellers, my concern is it might pose problems for int'l merchants opening US accounts.
June 4th, 2006, 07:07 AM #10
i don't like ATM card, money go to my bank is a lot better
I like
no more cheques please
June 4th, 2006, 10:55 AM #11
Direct credit to my account is best, cheques are a pain - I dropped one (minor - ofr me) merchant because they kept sending a cheque each week if I had a sale. Charges meant the bank got half the amount or more for small cheques.
Paypal is good - not used the others mentioned.
June 4th, 2006, 05:20 PM #12
Getting checks is a pain as my bank charges gbp 8.00 to process foreign checks (whether just one or several). I therefore have to collect 3 or more to make it worth while.
One company pays direct into my PayPal account and I can then direct debit straight into my own bank account for free. Only downside there is the rate of exchange used by PayPal but it is nowhere near as bad as the banks 8 pound charge.
Paypal therefore wins, no post delays, no waiting for clearance, lower charges, no postage paid by merchant and secure.

The Awami League, one of the major political parties had its first meeting with workers party of Bangladesh aiming at bringing together the 14-party alliance and pro-liberation groups to take part in the local government polls under the banner of a citizen committee. AL leader Tofael Ahmad told VOA that they want to continue this electoral alliance till the next parliamentary election.
Workers Party leader Bimal Biswas said the caretaker government's main responsibility was to hand over power to an elected government after holding a free and fair election, and the government should be more conscious of their job.

Good morning Dinks. I can't believe it's already January 19, 2015. I don't know why but January is flying by this year. It feels like just yesterday Nick and I were celebrating New Year's Eve and now here we are almost three weeks later. How has January been for you?
January is usually an awful month for me mentally, emotionally and financially. I normally hibernate during the winter because it's cold, snowy and windy; this makes for a very long few months. I'm angry because I lack fresh air and sunshine and I'm restless because I'm confined to my apartment. If you live in cold weather how do you get through the toughest months of the year?
January is not so bad if you learn to love it
Last year I decided not to hate winter any longer. I went outside even during the coldest days of the year so I would have no excuses. If I could go out at -40 degrees Celsius then I can go out any other day of the year. When dressed properly in snow boots and a big winter jacket I have to admit January isn't that bad. So that takes care of the cabin fever part of the winter, but what about the money?
January is what I like to call "the month of regret". I look back on all the bad things I did in December and try to figure out ways to recover from them. Actually I should say bad things, I should say I look back in all the out-of-character things I did over the last month and try to get back on track and back into a routine.
Get spending back on budget
With gifts to buy, deserts to eat, trees to decorate and meals to cook the holidays can be expensive. Nick and I are usually very careful with our spending. Our own personal splurges come second to items we need for our apartment. Spending outside of our budget is definitely outside of our normal habits.
I like to compare spending to speeding. When you're doing it the adrenaline is overwhelming and it brings instant gratitude and it's very hard to stop. If you're driving at 100 mph when you slow down to the speed limit you can feel like you're crawling. The exact same thing is true for spending. When you get caught up in a whirlwind of sales and shopping it's hard to stop spending money.
How do I do it? I just quit cold turkey. This year I took my credit cards out of my wallet, avoided online shopping and stayed away from malls during the after Christmas sales. It was hard but I realized that spending money is a mental obstacle, once I overcame that I just stopped having the urge to spend money.
Pay off your credit cards to $0
I know a lot of people – although I'm not one of them – who put all of their holiday shopping on their credit cards. I used to charge gifts on my credit card but that was because I couldn't actually afford to buy them. That's all in the past.
People get so caught up in the holiday bliss they may forget just how much money they spent on the holidays. January brings all that back to reality when the first credit card bill of the year arrives in the mail. Now it's time to set up automatic payments or make a lump sum payment onto your credit card to get it paid off as quickly as possible and avoid interest charges.
Do you love or hate January?

From the burning plains of Balochistan to the top of K2, the world's second highest mountain, Pakistan is the link between the steamy subcontinent and the wild mountains of Central Asia. 4 of the great mountain ranges of the world collide in the North and the scenary is matched by an eclectic collection of people and cultures. The North is the area we know best and the area which, we think, holds most interest to visitors. Remains of the ancient buddhist civilization of Gandhara sit side by side with the sights and smells of the chaotic Pashtun capital of Peshawar. Walking on, around or up glaciers in the Karakorum, crossing rope bridges in the Pamirs and meeting isolated animist tribes in the Hindu Kush are just some of the things we pack into trips here every summer. Access to these areas has been made easier since the building of the remarkable Karakorum Highway 20 years ago but it is still an unexplored and overlooked destination for anyone wanting to have some real adventure. However, the incredible scenery takes second place in Pakistan to some of most hospitable and generous people in the world. In recent years Pakistan has suffered from an increase in terrorist attacks and this has understandably hit Pakistani tourism.

Victorian consumers will soon have the power to make a more informed choice about the food they're ordering at the fast food counter thanks to new mandatory kilojoule labelling laws announced today by the Victorian Government, according to Todd Harper, CEO of Cancer Council Victoria.
"We are absolutely delighted that the Victorian Government has committed to introduce mandatory kilojoule labelling in fast food outlets and supermarkets. This is a tremendous win for consumers and supports the good work the Victorian government is already investing in to improve the health of Victorians such as LiveLighter and the Achievement Program.
"Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing certain types of cancer, including some of the most common cancers such as bowel and (post-menopausal) breast cancer, as well as cancers of the endometrium, kidney and oesophagus.
"With nearly two-thirds of the Victorian population either overweight or obese, we need to make it easier for people to make healthier choices - and here's one way that's been proven to work. We know from the New South Wales experience that this form of labelling together with an education campaign has been shown to be effective, with consumers choosing meals that are 15% lower in kilojoules than prior to the implementation of the system,1" said Mr Harper.
Craig Sinclair, Head of Prevention at Cancer Council Victoria, said in-store kilojoule labelling wasn't an attempt to dissuade people from buying fast food but rather to highlight the nutrition information of various options and let the consumer decide.
"While no one would be surprised to find out that most fast food items are extremely energy dense, many would be shocked to learn that some meal deals contain around two-thirds of your daily average intake of kilojoules, while relatively healthy sounding snacks such as banana bread can be around a third.
"We are pleased to see this legislation will apply throughout stores on menu boards, and price tags as well as online, as previously this information in many cases has been very hard for consumers to find," said Mr Sinclair.
A recent Cancer Council Victoria and Heart Foundation survey found that only two in nine of Victoria's major fast food chains supplied adequate nutritional information to allow consumers to make informed choices about what they're eating.
The report found that the majority of stores surveyed were denying consumers basic nutrition information about their products at the point of sale by not including the amount of kilojoules on all products on their menu boards or by purposely obscuring the information, making it small, hard to read and difficult to find.
"It's also vital that there's an education campaign to accompany the labelling changes to give consumers context around the number of kilojoules in a product so they can understand what's high and low," said Mr Sinclair.
About the survey
Cancer Council Victoria and the Heart Foundation surveyed the point of purchase kilojoule menu labelling practices at 59 fast food outlets, from nine fast food and snack chains across metropolitan and regional Victoria. The survey compared their labelling practices to the best practice guidelines implemented in New South Wales.
The investigation found:

The 7 Deadly Sins of Routine Maintenance
Household products and bad habits can cause serious damage to your investments, harm the environment, and can even be harder to work with. The following list includes the most common mistakes people use.
#1 – Dish Soap
Dish soaps can cause many problems, from stripping wax to degrading the waterproofing on fabrics. In some cases, these chemicals are harmful to the environment and shouldn't ever be dumped irresponsibly.
#2 – Windex
Most boat mirrors and windows are made of plastic, not glass. Since Windex and other glass cleaners contain ammonia, they can cause yellowing, cracking and many other issues.
#3 – Paper Towels
Paper towels are not actually a very soft material. They're too harsh and scratch many soft plastics. Additionally, paper towels fall apart easy and can become very costly over time.
#4 – Limited Storage
Since storage is limited, don't waste it all on your cleaning tools. Most maintenance tool manufacturers market a product for every potential type of surface, stain, or area of the boat/car/RV. These chemicals and tools become very costly and causes fast overcrowding in the limited storage areas.
#5 – Soft Scrub
Abrasive household cleansers like Soft Scrub are too strong for boat/car/RV material. Fiberglass, clear coat and gelcoat surfaces easily loose their protective coatings to these harsh cleaners. Bleach-based products will have a tendency to discolor fabrics and break down their integrity.
#6 – Pledge
Pledge is great on wood, not on clear vinyl like isinglass. Pledge contains solvents that removes the plasticizers from the plastic. This causes the material to become brittle and yellow.
#7 – Procrastination and Neglect
Environmental build-up can quickly damage anything. Overlooking or neglecting the right maintenance items and schedule will not only reduce the value of your investment over time but will also make maintenance much harder.

Mr. Art Critic Trailer (2008)
You know that one art critic you love to hate? The critic whose sole mission in life seems to be savaging the dreams of artists, curators and gallery owners everywhere? The critic who has learned, by heart, every possible snarky synonym for "bad" but couldn't spit out the word "good" even as flames licked at his stake-bound feet? The critic who we suspect hasn't enjoyed a 'romantic interlude' since 1992 and would, given the the opportunity, unapologetically slam his own mother's work hanging at the local district library? Yes. "Mr. Art Critic" is that heinous guy.

It's gotten scarier with the amount of spam that has been showing up. The other day, out of 28 messages, nearly half were Viagara and Cialis related.

WHAT is it like growing up Greek in Australia? The South Australian Foundation for Hellenic Studies will find out next Friday evening at a gala function hosted by Senator Nick Xenophon.
Those volunteering to be grilled on the subject include Effie Stephanidis, the alter-ego of comedian Mary Coustas, Canberra press gallery veteran George Megalogenis and TV presenter and landscape gardener extraordinaire, Costas Georgiadis.
The prominent members of the Hellenic Foundation were asked about their top five memories of what "Growing Up Greek" meant to them.
Did you grow up Greek in Australia? Share your experiences below
SBS presenter and big beard owner
1. Every May holidays on the way back from the Gold Coast to Sydney we'd have avgotaraho (mullet roe) laid out drying across the back window of the Valiant. I can still recall that smell!
2. Speaking of smells, the smell of burning hair and jackets at the midnight Easter service.
3. Getting busted for not focusing on the scrum of people as we tried to stay still, holding a burning candle in a packed church at Easter service. Oops!
4. Having to have gliko (preserved grapefruit sweet) at the house of yiayia (affectionate name for grandmother) no matter how short a visit you made to her place.
5. Friends not understanding what the white cheese (fetta) was all about, let alone having it with watermelon.
(Mary Coustas) Author of the Guide To Being Up Yourself
1. Having the right to an opinion. To disagree is not offensive and silence is not golden as far as Greeks are concerned.
2. Dancing: No matter what the age, whether you know people or not we hold hands and all dance together. You've gotta love that!
3. Theatricality: Big personalities, an insatiable love of life and an unapologetic relationship with grief. Greeks are the first to shout, the first to dance and the first to cry.
4. Complex hearts: Being the child of a migrant you are always conscious of the sense of melancholy that exists in parents who have divided their hearts, their history and their lives in two countries.
5. Love through food: A busy kitchen was a sign of happy times.
Part-time criminal lawyer/full-time Hellenic Foundation Trustee
1. Everyone is related to you. Everyone is an aunty or an uncle
2. Grandma always offering you food to eat when visiting, even though it isn't food time.
3. Having a genetic excuse for not liking Vegemite.
4. Working hard to get ahead and do better than the previous generation.
5. Being told that it was more important to think "what will other people think?" about anything you did.
Political know-all for The Australian
1. Number one thing I loved growing up in a Greek household was the cakes.
2. The cousins.
3. Following the Richmond Football Club. Richmond had the largest Greek-speaking population of any Australian suburb.
4. Helping Mum at work and listening to Dad's short-wave radio.
5. Later in life I have come to have a greater appreciation of the food and the language, which I wish I'd spent far more time learning as a child.
Marketing guru and Foundation committee member
1. Your family is big – VERY big. This makes it confusing when you hit puberty and generate a crush on that certain "cousin". Is he really related?
2. Families might be big but parties are HUGE! Greeks will have a party for just about anything.
3. Knowing your family is great for your self-image – no matter what your size, mum and yiayia (grandmother) think you are way too thin and not eating enough.
4. Weddings don't cost you money – they are actually a serious profit-making enterprise which the ATO hasn't cottoned on to yet.
5. Learning never to get too attached to your family pet – especially a lamb or baby goat because all of a sudden they'd be gone when you got back from school.

Global Dignity is the brainchild of three friends and concerned global citizens who met as Young Global Leaders at the World Economic Forum: HRH Crown Prince Haakon (Norway), Professor Pekka Himanen (Finland) and founder of Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant (United States).
The three friends realized that the one thing that everyone in the world could agree on, irrespective of their differences is: We all want our Dignity to be recognized. Dignity is the very foundation of our humanity. Dignity is universal. Dignity is also the source of human rights.
The co-founders created Global Dignity in 2006. Since then they have worked with many Young Global Leaders, Global Shapers, Schwab Social Entrepreneurs and other partners in over 50 countries, hosting what are known as Dignity Days. This involves visiting local schools and communities around the world and teaching a "course in dignity" to youth.
Global Dignity Summit 2015 (Photo: Global Dignity)
"In a world where it seems no-one agrees on anything, a world where politics divides, religion divides, and race and even cultural borders seem to divide, dignity is something that everyone can agree on."
– Global Dignity Co-Founders –
Global Dignity aspires to implement the universal right of every human being to lead a dignified life. We all have the ability to increase the dignity of others and thus we increase our own dignity.
The dignity approach works on all levels: it works for children and for adults, it works for men and for women, and it works on the micro and macro level.
Global Dignity is an autonomous non-profit, non-criticism and non-partisan initiative. We wish to be inspiration-based: commending and encouraging best practice and dignity-centered leadership.
Vision: We empower people with dignity
Mission: We help youth and adults to become their best self and help others to achieve the same

The Golden Globe-nominated actress is set to executive produce 'Meridian Hills'. The story is set in a boozy Midwest country club circa 1972, when the push for the Equal Rights Amendment was just beginning.
It centers on a young, newly married woman who joins the Junior League, discovering an eclectic group of other young women who become unlikely allies in her quest to change the system. Kunis is not expected to take an on-screen role in the project.
The actress recently starred on Seth MacFarlane's comedy film "Ted" and will next be seen playing opposite James Franco in "Oz: The Great and Powerful". The "Black Swan" beauty is also lending her voice to Adult Swim's animated comedy 'Robot Chicken'.

Reviewed Performance 6/2/2012
Reviewed by Bonnie K. Daman, Associate Critic for John Garcia's THE COLUMN
In 2006, Artisan Center Theater debuted Michael McLean's original production, The Ark, seen outside of Broadway. Now six years later, Artisan is once again bringing this special musical and its timeless characters to life in their quaint stage-in-the-round, but with mammoth results. Bring your umbrellas and your life vests (figuratively) and get ready to set sail on one of the greatest adventures ever told of Noah and his ark.
One of the founders of Artisan and Executive Producer for over 150 shows, Dee Ann Blair, works double duty as Co-Director for The Ark, and also appears in the cast as Eliza. In ten years, this is Blair's second time to perform on the Artisan stage, a special treat indeed for those audience members with tickets on her night. Sharing the director's chair with Blair is Dennis Canright who also appears onstage as Noah. It's obvious just how much Blair and Canright treasure this show. The ambience the sound design creates to transform the stage into an ark, the detailed set design with rudimentary undertones, and the combination of a strong cast all tie into a clear presentation of the directors' vision. This being Artisan's third time to produce The Ark (I first saw the show during its second run in 2008), I can say for a fact that they are raising the bar for this latest installment.
The set design, also by Blair and Canright, has more functionality and detail than it did in the past with more ways to expand and create the ark within the small confines of a building. Always an impressive scene is the closing of the door to the ark. Using a combination of ropes and pulleys, the thick wooden door looks more complicated than it really is and the ominous way it closes shut gives a sense of finality to the scene. Artisan's resident Scenic Painter Lily Stapp-Courtney fine-tunes the background in detail with her beautiful, realistic paintings of miscellaneous animals on the ark. Her work is always something to look forward to seeing.
Kirk Corley's light design casts an array of golden tones to emphasize the wooden ark and is complemented with underlying hues of blue representing the moonlight flooding in through the windows and the beams.
It's Joey Geisel's sound design that completes the full setting. You'll hear everything from birds chirping to lions roaring, giving the sense you've walked into a wildlife safari. The best part of Geisel's design is the sounds of the ark, such as the creaking of the beams as if the theater is moving and rocking about in the sea. Is it possible to feel like you might be getting seasick from the safety of your seat?
The costumes by Rebecca Roberts are traditional garb for the times, long flowing tunics and garments. The women use sashes and aprons to alter their outfits over the course of the show, however, few of the men stray from tradition, wearing pants and flowing shirts. Ham's costume in particular follows a modern look with the actor sporting jeans and a leather vest which also separates him from the family as the "bad boy".
The choreography by Eddie Floresca is lighthearted and includes your traditional Biblical-day moves like the classic grapevine. The cast doesn't look overwhelmed having to tackle some of McLean's more complicated pieces and remember their dance steps simultaneously. I've seen what Floresca can really do, so in this case simple is better for the cast to be in unison and look good while doing it.
The ensemble as a whole is well-directed and blends seamlessly through most of the group numbers. The opening song could be stronger, but by the time they get to "You Must Believe There Are Miracles", the cast feels warmed up and here is where they become a chorus. Richard Gwozdz is to be complimented for his musical direction and his work with the multiple casts. McLean's music, which at times is reminiscent of a Stephen Sondheim number, does not sound as if it is mastered so easily.
This is the second time I have seen Canright in the role of Noah. The first time left a lasting impression, so much so I worked hard to remain objective about this specific performance. True to form, Canright reconfirms why he is perfect for this role. He invites the audience into the story with an exuberance and frivolity that sets the pace of the show. Canright clearly has fun taunting the "animals", expounding with a few adlibs here and there and relishes in Noah's aloofness to his surroundings, but with a comical twist.
Canright portrays the painful, exposed emotions of Noah with amazing fortitude. As a prophet alone in his journey, with his family pushing for answers, he patiently waits and believes God will provide the answers and redemption promised. Canright creates a delicate balance between his character's faith in God and his own human nature and frailties. Most significant is the relationship between Noah and his unbelieving son Ham that represents faith versus reason and Canright gives a strong yet childlike honesty to the performance.
Alongside Canright is Jana Offutt as Noah's wife Eliza. Offutt settles in well as the matriarch of the family, some of whom don't look much older than she, and her relationship with Canright feels like a friendship years in the making. Offutt's voice is superb (she actually works as a voice talent for hire) and there is something magical that happens when she sings. The highlight of her vocal performance is in the number "Eliza's Breakdown/Hold On" with Canright in Act II. On one hand, Offutt misses an opportunity to really fine tune the physically emotional side of the character but her vocal performance is what ultimately portrays the desperation of Eliza's situation. New to the Artisan stage, Offutt is a talented addition to the theater's repertoire of actors.
To say that Kyle Holt is captivating in the role of Ham is an understatement. Holt delivers such raw emotion as the prodigal son his performance is sometimes leaps and bounds above the rest of the cast. The first time Holt really gets to shine is his solo "Whenever He Needs a Miracle". The frustration and intensity of the song leaves you breathless and Holt's powerful tenor voice rings clear. The scene leading up to the first entrance of "Lift Me Up/Hold On" is equally heartbreaking and Holt carries the weight of one of the song's melodies with strength and clarity against the rest of the cast. Apart from his overall serious nature, he gets a few opportunities to have some fun with his character. I feel sorry for the one audience member Holt chooses to zone in on for the "Dinner" number and as an actor who can learn choreography he has some pretty good moves.
David Otteson is quite natural in his role as the eldest brother Japeth and he is the most genuine of the supporting cast in his reactions and scripted direction. His character's curiosity, inventiveness and simplicity are sincere as if you can see the wheels turning, or not turning, in his head. Otteson also has a way of carrying the ensemble numbers without reticence and without overpowering the other actors with his singing. What little solos his character has, Otteson exudes a gentle confidence that makes his performance a pleasure to watch without any critique.
As the youngest brother Shem, David Seil gives a more comedic performance than I was prepared for but I easily got on board (no pun intended) with his oddball character before the end of Act I. Seil's naivety as a newlywed husband is endearing to a point until, as a woman, you want to shake him. He provides some much needed fun but in trying to lighten the mood, some of his scenes feel too chaotic. He is overtly exuberant and my guest and I still found ourselves chuckling at his melodrama quite often.
Ham's wife Egyptus is the outsider of the group and is introduced to the surprised family just as the rain begins. A pivotal part to Ham's growth, Tasia Robinson portrays the young bride with the heart of an old soul. Her calming presence counteracts well with Ham's restlessness. Robinson tackles a number of solos; unfortunately some of the music comes across as too advanced for her voice. Given a simple melody and time to breathe, Robinson has a beautiful tone that she can truly let shine. Overall, her transition into the family is a sweet picture of acceptance and love.
Kelly Kennedy is spot on as the vain, upbeat and sometimes ditsy Sariah. Her greatest struggle being the lack of a proper wardrobe, Kennedy pines away for her character's husband, Japeth. Sariah is the least featured of group but Kennedy manages to carve a memorable space in the action.
Unlike her counterpart Shem, Meredith Stowe, as Martha, is a shy, timid young beauty having to compete with her groom's affections. The tight quarters prove too much for Martha to handle and Stowe has a great breakaway performance in "I've Got a Man Who Loves Me" in the first act. On the flipside, Stowe's apron is such a distraction that I was half hoping she would fling it off during her solo, a response that would be completely appropriate for her character at that moment. She shows much more boldness and assuredness when she takes the stage alone compared to when working with the ensemble. Stowe just needs to carry that confidence into her whole performance, including the choreography and harmonies, and her portrayal would be flawless.
Audience members should be prepared to join in the fun and have a few laughs, just beware where you sit. After all, someone has to play the animals. The Ark is an entertaining show for all ages. Regardless of its Biblical origins, it remains a story about family, trust, hope and love at its core. It's a pleasure to see Artisan continue to bring this remarkable show to the DFW area.
As an added treat, Artisan is hosting a two-night event June 8th and 9th as they welcome the show's creator to their production.
The "Special Event: An Evening with Michael McLean" begins an hour before curtain when McLean will meet guests and engage the audience with a short Q&A session. It's a proud moment for Artisan and the cast of The Ark and a moment you won't want to miss.

Ryan, like most four-year-olds, is a creature of habit and routine. But his routines tend to be location-specific. Certain activities are associated with specific places; he can not perform the activity elsewhere, and he can not do other things in that spot. For example, if he's sitting on his potty in our hall bathroom, he insists I must open the vanity cabinet, and he must pretend that two bottles of shampoo are a violin and bow, while scripting a certain animated sequence from Elmo's World. He does not do the-violin-and-her-bow anywhere else, and that is the only game he will initiate there.
When you remove him from his usual environment, many of his daily routines go out the window. We just spent a long weekend visiting my snowbird in-laws in Florida, and Ryan adapted beautifully, surprising us at every turn. He's been avoiding drinking milk here at home, but he chugged almost a pint of milk on the plane on the way down (well, however much of it he didn't pour on himself), and glass after glass over the weekend. At home he will nap maybe one hour a month; this weekend he took a two-hour nap two days in a row. He never once begged to play computer games. He didn't lean his head on the back of the toilet while peeing (yeah, I know...). He stayed at the table in restaurants. And on the trip home, instead of passing out by 8pm like he usually does, he stayed wide freaking awake until we stumbled through the door at 12:30am.
It's not like a change of environment changes everything - he was still reluctant to play with two wild five-year-olds at the playground, he still spit food all over the place, he still had his share of tantrums - but it definitely gets him out of certain patterns for a little while.
And don't worry, coming home put everything back to normal. He bounced into our bedroom promptly at 6:15am and demanded to "play a game of Dora pwease."
Which leads me to a tangentially-related tip from the home front: When stuck in a parenting rut, change the reward structure. While Ryan has gotten very good at keeping his pants dry all day (and sometimes all night), he whole poop thing has remained elusive. So I took away his favorite thing in the whole world - playing PBS Kids and Nick Jr computer games - and limited them to being a reward for pooping in the potty. There has been much crying because of this change, but his pants have stayed clean as a result.
So now, during the times he wishes he was playing his beloved games, he just scripts them instead. We'll be playing outside, and he'll recite, "Click on the green button to start." Or he'll riff on it: "Click on Mommy..."
My kid is awesome! And he is autistic and has ADHD. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Watch us navigate the world of neurodiversity.
