Did I ever tell you about the day I tried to kill my husband?
I was a new bride and cook. I knew the hubs loved his eggs over easy, yellow a bit runny. Try as I might i had a really hard time getting them to turn out this way, either they were cooked to long and no longer runny or when I went to turn them, I would break the darn center.
(and no this isnt an actual pic of my cooking, I didnt blog then and there where no digital cameras, if I had taken a picture of my cooking efforts it would probably still by in a drawer waiting to be taken to the store to be developed, hehe)
It was a Sunday morning and I thought I would make my man a "biggie" breakfast, this is what we called a breakfast with eggs, toast, bacon, and goetta
(if you dont know what this is, dont ask, it is delicious, but you dont want to know what is in it, it is a Cincinnati thing, lol)
I was so proud of myself, I plated that food up, knowing this was my best effort ever, eggs looked runny, goetta crispy, and the bacon chewy, just the way he likes it all,(yes he is a very picky eater, but I will save that for another post) Finally Success!!
Well...after taking a bite or maybe two,
he said ,babe this just doesnt taste right,
I said in my sweet loving wife way, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I DID EVERY THING RIGHT THIS TIME!
HE said, it just has an odd taste
And then he asked if I had used THAT, pointing to the can of Pam on the counter, only it wasnt a can of Pam, but a can of Shout stain remover,
That's right, I had accidently sprayed the pan with Shout, instead of Pam, OH MY GOD, I just poisoned my husband, I wondered, would stressful cooking for an extremely picky eater be a good enough defense to keep me out of jail??
I quickly looked up poison controls phone number, and called, the problem was everytime I tried to tell them what I had done, I giggled, kind of like I am doing now. I just couldnt tell the story without laughing, all the while my husband is gagging and thinking he is going to die! Finally they figured out what I had done and told me to tell him to drink lots of water and he should be fine. He was! I have been making this man breakfast for the past 27 years, I could be a short order breakfast cook by now, but I will never make his eggs without thinking about that day all those years ago. Over the years I have been tempted to put another squirt of shout in his eggs, but dont know if they would believe it was an accident the second time!
***UPDATE*** The hubs just got home from work, and I just finished reading him this post, laughing all the way. He said he didnt want all my blog friends to think he wasnt a nice guy. So, he wants me to clarify, he says not wanting to make me feel bad, he swears he forced down allll the eggs and goetta, before he said anything to me, aahh gee, what a guy my husband, no wonder we have been together for 32 years, since I was 15 years old!

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read! I can just picture the person on the other end of the poison control line - I bet they were trying not to laugh too! Glad it turned out all right. I giggled at your comment about "pre digital cameras". When we renovated our kitchen, I found about 15 rolls of undeveloped film in the back of hubby's "junk drawer". And I STILL haven't gotten them developed. Kathy

Edmonton's Metro line cleared to run at full speed
Starting Sunday, the problem-plagued line will be operating at 50km/hr after operating at half speed for months.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Edmonton's slow-moving Metro Line has finally gotten the green light to run full speed through intersections.
The city announced Wednesday that Rail Safety Consulting — an independent safety auditor hired to ensure the line's new signaling system is sound — has lifted the speed restriction in place at intersections starting Sunday.
Mayor Don Iveson said the news was a major milestone for the 3.3-kilometre Metro Line, which has been plagued with problems since opening, behind schedule, in 2015.
"This is full speed ahead," Iveson said, dryly. "We've been waiting a long time to see that gain, so this is a major step forward. We've been working hard to get it to function as designed and, at least with the Metro Line portion, we've now achieved that."
When it comes to getting the Metro and Capital lines fully integrated and running as intended (which the city calls "Plan A"), deputy city manager Adam Laughlin would only offer "2017, without a specific date" as a timeline.
"There's still work to do," Laughlin told reporters. "[Lifting the speed restrictions] allow us to move toward the next step, which is getting to what we originally were hoping to get out of this, which is an integrated signaling system with the Metro Line and Capital Line."
In the meantime, he said Metro Line trains will run faster now and slightly reduce travel times.
The LRT line has long operated at speeds below 50 km/h due to a broken signaling system, causing major headaches and requiring extensive software patches.
The line missed its very first deadline back in April 2014, and since then the city has struggled with problems.
The city has yet to pay contractor Thales the final installment for the $755-million project (Iveson said the holdback is in the range of $17 to $20 million) and won't until six months after the system is fully functional.
The mayor expects further discussion with the vendor "about compensation along the way for performance", but wouldn't say more Wednesday.

Ferdinand winning Porto fitness race
Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand is on course to be fit for the defending champions' must-win quarter-final Champions League tie with FC Porto on Wednesday night.
In his pre-match press conference, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that Ferdinand is expected to be fit, lauding the parnership he has formed with Nemanja Vidic that has served his side so well.
Ferdinand missed last week's first leg 2-2 draw at Old Trafford with a groin injury, but the defender did make the flight to Portugal and should partner Nemanja Vidic in central defence as United bid to become the first English team to win at the Estadio do Dragao.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate for Ferdinand to return to shore up United's leaky defence, which has shipped five goals in the England international's absence, and the 30-year-old may well undergo pain-killing injections to play.
The injured centre-back could have played in United's 2-1 win at Sunderland on Saturday, but it was decided not to take the risk to ensure he is fit for Wednesday. He is expected to join in full training in Portugal on Tuesday.
Brazilian full-back Rafael da Silva was also included in United's Champions League squad, along with fellow countryman Anderson, giving Ferguson all the options he wanted as United try to make history in Porto.

It has been just three months since the Iowa Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing gay marriage in Iowa. While there were a number of polls taken on the issue before the Court issued its decision, TheIowaRepublican.com poll is the first statewide poll to ask the opinion of Iowans following the decision.
With the legislative session over and the media focus gone, TheIowaRepublican.com poll provides the first real glimpse of how the Court's ruling will impact the 2010 campaigns in Iowa. TheIowaRepublican.com poll found that 67% of Iowans believe that voters should have the right to decide the issue. Only 27% of Iowans think that the decision was best left to the Iowa Supreme Court to decide.
Question: The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled gay marriages can legally be conducted in the state. Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, do you think Iowa voters should have the chance to vote on a traditional marriage amendment to the constitution or is the issue best decided by the Supreme Court?
Statewide Results
Voters Should Decide: 67%
Supreme Court best to Decide: 27%
Don't Know: 4%
Refused: 1%
Republicans Surveyed
Voters Should Decide: 87%
Supreme Court best to Decide: 11%
Don't Know: 2%
Refused: 0%
Overwhelmingly, the people of Iowa want the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment. Some Republicans have indicated that using the gay marriage issue could be politically dangerous because many would see the party as being too exclusive. TheIowaRepublican.com poll shows that not to be the case at all. Almost 70% of Iowans want the opportunity to vote on a marriage amendment.
Nearly 90%of Iowa Republicans support the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment. This clearly indicates that the likelihood of Iowa Republicans nominating a centrist in regards to the gay marriage issue is slim to impossible.
The poll results clearly show that Republicans shouldn't be worried about making the Supreme Court ruling in Varnum v. Brien and the lack of action by Governor Culver and the Democrat leadership an issue in the upcoming election. The issue isn't necessarily about gay marriage, but rather, it's about the people being allowed their constitutional right to vote. Iowans clearly want to voice their opinion on this matter at the ballot box.
Given the fact that a clear majority of voters want to vote on this issue and the fact that the Democrats have acted as though a majority of Iowans would support gay marriage, you have to wonder what the Democrats are thinking. If the Democrat leadership is purporting to "protect rights from being trampled", whose rights are their protecting? Clearly, a majority of Iowans feel as though their rights are being trampled, and it's a majority the size of which no state-wide or local candidate should ignore.
Bryan English, the Director of Public Relations for the Iowa Family Policy Center told TheIowaRepublican.com, "The results of the poll on marriage conducted by TheIowaRepublican.com mirror the results of a similar poll conducted for internal use by the Iowa Family Policy Center. Public opinion on marriage is consistently a 65 – 70% issue, and the numbers tell us that Iowans want the right to vote on the Iowa Marriage Amendment. How the political class responds to these numbers will help separate the wheat from the chaff among those who seek office in 2010."
What those numbers tell us, is that despite the best efforts of Lambda legal and the liberal media to create a perception that public opinion has changed, Iowa citizens still know what marriage is, and they still know how laws are made. The political power in this state rests with the people. They are not comfortable with the court making law for them, and on an issue as important as marriage; they want to have their say," English said.
TheIowaRepublican.com poll also shows that 41% of Iowans consider themselves to be pro-life, while 29% consider themselves to be pro-choice.
Question: On political issues, do you consider yourself pro-life, pro-choice, or somewhere in between?
Pro-Life: 41%
Pro-Choice: 29%
Somewhere in between: 28%
Don't Know: 6%
Refused: 1%
Pro-Life: 69%
Pro-Choice: 13%
Somewhere in between: 17%
Don't Know: 2%
Refused: 1%
Again, some influential Republicans have encouraged the Party and its candidates to shy away from the hot button issue of abortion, yet far more Iowans consider themselves to be pro-life than pro-choice. The debate within Republican circles should not be about whether or not people have to abandon their principles, but about how pro-life Republican candidates can talk positively about the issue without alienating the 28% of the people who are somewhere in the middle.
Nationally, Democrats have run pro-life, pro-Second Amendment candidates to knock off Republican incumbents or win open seats in rural states and congressional districts. While the issue of abortion will always incite debate, Iowa Republicans don't have to abandon the issue in order to win on Election Day. However, some of our candidates need to do a better job when speaking about the issue. With 69% of Republicans identifying themselves as pro-life, it would be difficult to see a pro-choice candidate win a Republican primary.
TheIowaRepublican.com poll also asked respondents what issues they feel are the most important.
Question: Of the following list of issues, which are the most important to you? (Up to three answers).
Jobs and Unemployment: 35(Statewide) – 17(Republican)
The Economy: 38(Statewide) – 29(Republican)
Education: 23(Statewide) – 17(Republican)
Taxes: 17(Statewide) – 28(Republican)
Government Spending: 24(Statewide) – 39(Republican)
Agriculture: 9(Statewide) – 12(Republican)
Moral Values: 22(Statewide) – 38(Republican)
Healthcare: 37(Statewide) – 22(Republican)
Illegal Immigration: 16(Statewide) – 19(Republican)
Conservative Republicans don't have to be ashamed, embarrassed, or chagrined about believing in the sanctity of life or the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. Clearly, Iowans agree with them on those issues. We have in front of us a fertile landscape. Republicans in Iowa represent the vast majority of Iowans. We have nothing to be ashamed of, and in fact, we have quite a lot to be proud of and build upon.
• The economy, jobs and fiscal issues are top priorities for most Iowans. They are the top issues for Republicans as well.
• A clear majority of Iowans are either pro-life or somewhere in the middle. So, too, are the vast majority of Republicans in this state.
• A clear majority of Iowans want the issue of gay marriage to go to a vote of the people. So do a huge majority of Republicans.
• Republicans are about trusting people to make their own decisions, while Democrats believe that government is best suited to make decisions for people.
The Democrats favor not allowing the people an opportunity to vote on gay marriage. They have instead endorsed the decision the Supreme Court made while ignoring the will of the people. Iowa Democrats have made it clear that they want to raise your taxes. They know better how to spend your money than you do. They kowtow to the labor unions because only the unions will defend the people from the villains who create jobs. Iowa Democrats have spent the state a BILLION dollars in debt in just a few short years. They don't have to act like normal people do and balance their budget and live within their means. Furthermore, Governor Culver has taken a "wait and see" attitude towards balancing Iowa's budget.
So, as we look to the 2010 elections, ask this question: who represents the people of Iowa?
I think the answer is rather clear. The poll numbers don't lie.

Bigger, burlier, XTRer.
With the introduction of an all-new Shimano XTR drivetrain comes a swarm of new XTR wheels, too. The new Shimano XTR M9020-TL Trail 29-inch Clincher Wheelset is wider and tougher than the XC-focused Race 29ers, but they don't lose an ounce of XTR's race-bred engineering.
The new XTR wheels are built with Shimano's new carbon-laminated alloy rim construction. The technique capitalizes on the advantages of both materials while using each to compensate for the other's shortcomings. For example, full-carbon wheels can be prohibitively expensive. Aluminum rims can be cheaper, but often heavier, sometimes weaker, and ride quality can be compromised, as well. Shimano decided to engineer the two in conjunction with each other: a lightweight alloy rim extrusion receives full carbon fiber reinforcement here, the result being a durable, light, and relatively inexpensive rim that is torsionally stiff, vertically forgiving, and doesn't cost a down payment on a car. We love the new look, too.
The Race version of the rims are 20mm wide internally, while the Trail versions are wider, at 24mm internally, to accommodate wider tires and create a larger contact patch for greater control in technical situations. Down in the hubs, proprietary bearings keep the precision-machined hubs spinning for years, and a revised axle and bearing configuration saves a bit of weight, as well.
The Shimano XTR M9020-TL Trail 29-inch Clincher Wheelset comes with a 142x12mm rear axle, and 100x15mm front axle, and a freehub body that can accommodate Shimano 10- or 11-speed XTR drivetrains. Both front and rear wheels have 28 spokes, and both are compatible with CenterLock rotors only.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
You can't go wrong with these.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Yes I could have gone lighter. Yes I could have had red spokes. But the fact is Shimano is king for a reason. I put them on 300 miles ago and haven't had to think about them. Not once.
All the performance, half the price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This wheelset is very light and strong, easy to setup as tubeless. The wider rim on the trail helps your tires profile without making the contact patch too flat which increases rolling resistance. Also a great price where some other similar wheelset are around $2,000.
Do these new XTR wheels have a rider weight limit ?
I have not seen a Shimano specified weight limit. Any time there is carbon fiber involved I don't recommend anything over 250lbs at the maximum. With anything less than 28 spokes I don't recommend anything over 200lbs. Hope this helps make a safe choice! you can ask me any and all questions at email@example.com

One way to sidestep this problem is to work the other way around - to start with existing, reputable data, and build an online service that leverages it. That's the process that led to Omada Health's diabetes prevention program,...

Syd Kitson
Life Path Number 5
Syd Kitson is a Football Player and Athlete.
He was born on Saturday September 27th 1958, in Orange, NJ, USA,.
The key to Syd's personality is freedom. Syd loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. He possesses the curiosity of a cat and longs to experience all of life.
Syd Kitson loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as he is not tied down to any one area. Kitson likes change, new things and new horizons. He makes friends easily; his personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life. Syd has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. He can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.
Syd Kitson likely lacks discipline and order. He can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things he regrets later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.
Syd is sensual and loves to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of his life. He finds it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed, Syd Kitson can be as faithful as an old dog.
He is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to Kitson's success. Without these, many of the tasks Syd begins will remain unfinished and he will fail to realize the true fruits of his abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Syd Kitson may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by his family. However, he must not be obliged to hurry his choice of career. He is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before he can truly know and commit to his heart's desire. Syd's challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in his world, requiring adaptability and courage.
Syd Kitson should try to maintain an exercise program, keep his body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of Kitson's body will promote security and confidence within him. Syd yearns for freedom, and self-employment attracts him powerfully. His challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate his ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Syd Kitson finds his niche, the motivation and inspiration he supplies others with will bring him much in return, and Kitson will find his friends and colleagues supporting and promoting him on the road to success.
You and Syd
About Syd's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Syd Kitson's birth. In that instant, Syd stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Kitson's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Syd Kitson's life.

A Spotlite on the Founder of the GOLDEN RASPBERRY AWARDS: JOHN WILSON
By Tyler Malone
Winter 2013-2014
The universe is filled with opposing forces–good and evil, black and white–to every yin there is a yang. While the uber-prestigious Academy Awards may steal the spotlight every awards season, there"s another awards show that I think deserves much more attention than it gets. I consider it the yang to the Oscars" yin. And no, I"m not talking about the Golden Globes or the Independent Spirit Awards. Nor do I mean the SAG Awards or the DGA Awards. I mean those lovely little "negative nancy" awards known as the Razzies.
The Golden Raspberry Awards recognize the worst in film every year, and have done so for over three decades now. Started by John Wilson in his living room in 1981 to celebrate the movies of 1980, the tradition grew from a few dozen voters comprised of John Wilson"s friends in that first year to recently upwards of 800 journalists, cinema fans, and professionals from the industry. Categories include obvious counterparts to Oscar awards, such as Worst Actor/Actress, Worst Supporting Actor/Actress, and Worst Picture. But there are also more fun categories that feel more the antithesis of certain MTV Movie Awards, such as Worst Screen Combo and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel.
For a guy like me, who loves to hate on horrible films as much as I love to heap praise on those that deserve it, there are few things better than the Razzies. And while the Oscar ceremony always ends up feeling like a bit of a circle jerk, don"t assume that the Razzies are just a circle of jerks. As John Wilson has said, "We"re funny, not cruel, but I guess if you win one, you probably think we"re horrible. We poke fun; we"re the banana peel on the floor, not the slap in the face. We"re not saying "fuck you"; we"re asking "why?""
Someone needs to acknowledge the pain of sitting through that recent Adam Sandler comedy, or Tyler Perry melodrama, or Jennifer Aniston rom-com, or M. Night Shyamalan gratuitous plot twister, or Michael Bay assault on the eyes and ears. There"s a pleasure in recognizing a mutual pain. The Razzies don"t tear people apart by being nasty, they bring people together to heal.
I caught up with Golden Raspberry founder John Wilson to talk all that Razzie-matazz.
Tyler Malone: So why don"t we start by having you tell our readers a little bit about how the Razzies were started and how the idea came to you.
John Wilson: I actually remember the exact moment I came up with the idea. I was driving home in August of 1980 from a double feature of Olivia Newton John in Xanadu and the Village People in Can"t Stop the Music. There weren"t two worse disco musicals. I only paid 99 cents to see them, but I still wanted my money back. They refused to give me my money back. So as I was driving home I remember thinking, "There really ought to be an award for stuff like this." In my head that evening, I came up with a dozen titles I had seen that year besides those two that if there were an award for the worst in film, they would certainly deserve to be nominated.
At that time, I worked for Trailer House doing film promos, and I worked for a film festival, so in that one year I say some 250 films. When you see that many films, you realize that the odds don"t favor the Oscar stuff. Also, at that time, I used to throw an Oscar potluck party every year on Academy Awards night. So I just made it a part of that. We set up a cardboard podium in my living room alcove. We hauled people up from the buffet table. Someone was over trying to get mac-n-cheese, and I grabbed them and said, "Excuse me, you"re now presenting Worst Screenplay." It was very silly, very impromptu, a great deal of fun. If you"re old enough to get the reference, it was very much like the old Mickey Rooney / Judy Garland "let"s put on a show" kind of things. The guests, and there were dozens of them, all came up to me afterwards and told me how much fun they had, and what a terrific idea it was. It"s just snowballed completely out of control from there to the point where I get press clippings from all over the world. My favorite is from back when Showgirls came out in 1997, somebody sent me a clipping from the Beijing Times. It was entirely in Chinese, but it had a photo of Showgirls, and I knew it was in reference to the Razzies. I never intended it to become the great big thing that it has, but I think it"s kind of cool, and kind of funny, that it has become as well known as it is.
TM: What is the Razzie voting body like today compared to the ones voting in that first awards ceremony back in 1981 in your living room?
JW: Well, the first one, I handed out ballots at work. I gave them out with the invites to that Oscar party. We had about 45 voters that first year. We just sent the final ballot out last night. It"s now up close to 800 voters. They are in 47 or 48 of the United States, and something like 18 or 19 foreign countries. Certain countries we have a bigger contingent than others. Australia, for some reason, is big on the Razzies. Britain has a number of Razzie members, and this year that was a factor in the nominated process because I think almost all our voting members from Britain insisted we nominated Naomi Watts as Princess Diana. The British public loathed that movie. It didn"t do terribly well here, but here I don"t think anyone was threatening to firebomb the theaters.
But yes, it"s a fairly large voting body now. As I like to point out, the industry takes the Golden Globes very seriously now (God knows why!?). I think it"s because it"s been turned into a tool to promote Oscar consideration. But the voting membership of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the people who decide the Golden Globes, does not even total 100 people. Most people don"t realize that. If you run the numbers, you can win a Golden Globe with as few as 17 votes. So it doesn"t mean squat.
TM: So how does someone become a Razzie voting member?
JW: Have a credit card that will clear the bank. Ha. If you want to be part of this thing, I"m assuming you have a sense of humor. Realistically though, it isn"t a terribly complicated process, but the membership has three elements to it. The general public can join at our website. We are also running a campaign this year through a crowd-funding website called IndieGoGo where we"re trying defray some of the production costs that way, as well as the member fees. But the general public makes up a little more than a third of the voting body. The other two elements are people who cover the business (journalists, critics, correspondents, whatever) and people who actually work in the business (editors, screenwriters, directors, etc.). We have one really famous director who has always said don"t you dare tell them my name, but he has paid his dues every year for almost thirty years now.
TM: When is the actual ceremony this year?
JW: Every year it takes place the night before the Oscars. It took us a few years to realize we could no longer do it on the night of the Oscars if we wanted to get any press. We just could never outshine them, obviously, because they"re enormous. One of my clients, for I think the fourth year, suggested we do it Saturday night, the night before the Oscars. That was the key to it getting well-known because the press from literally around the globe is already here for the Oscars with nothing better to do on Saturday night than to shoot but the rehearsals for the songs that are nominated (most of which aren"t really that good anyways). So they"re here, they"re on an expense account, so why not buzz on over to our venue the night before and have some fun seeing the other end of the filmmaking scale?
TM: Do you get a little excited and start chomping at the bit when someone like Adam Sandler or M. Night Shyamalan are about to release a movie? Filmmakers that you know have a Razzie pedigree…
JW: When we heard shortly before the show last year that Sandler was casting Taylor Lautner as a secondary character in his sequel to Grown-Ups, we wondered: is he actually asking for a Razzie? And Grown-Ups 2 didn"t disappoint. It is our most nominated film this year. We have nine categories this year, I think, and it has eight nominations. The only one it missed was "Lead Actress" because there isn"t really a leading female role in the film. There are a couple of misleading ones.
TM: When someone like Michael Caine calls the Razzies "the pustule on the butt of Hollywood," how do you react?
JW: Clearly having one a few Oscars, he"s a very gifted actor. The one we picked on him for was Jaws 3D…or was it Jaws 4F? After the second one, they all kind of run together. He actually gave up showing up to accept an Oscar to shoot that Jaws movie. So yeah, I"d be pretty pissed if on top of not getting to go to the Oscars, I was a Razzie nominee. One of the dumber decisions any actor has ever made. I think he was being British and sly. I don"t think that he"s actually pissed off. There are people that have made it abundantly clear that they are actually pissed off. My favorite one–and I don"t know if it"s apocryphal because it does involve a British newspaper, and as we all know much of that is made up–but Faye Dunaway tied with Bo Derek for Worst Actress for her role in Mommie Dearest and according to the tabloid she "flew into a litigious rage." That"s such a British phrase! And to picture Faye Dunaway freaking out because someone at some Oscar party told her she won a Razzie is just a great image.
TM: Do you call the winners "winners" or are they the "losers" or do you have some other affectionate term for them?
JW: We use the word "winner" in quotes. We are pretty much the only awards show where "just being nominated" is actually NOT an honor.
TM: Some "winners" do come and accept their awards though sometimes…
JW: Yes, and the few people who have had the guts to come and accept the award have actually come off looking quite well. We have a youtube channel where we have some classic clips up there like Haley Berry accepting Worst Actress for Catwoman. It is just about the best comedic routine any Academy Award winner has ever done. She"s making fun of herself, she"s making fun of the picture, she"s making fun of us, she"s making fun of the industry, and the whole time she"s having a blast up there. Her take on it is that it was incredibly empowering to step onto a stage with an audience that you knew thought you sucked and get them to laugh and applaud. And she did!
Also, Sandra Bullock. The year she won Worst Actress for All About Steve, it was literally 24 hours later that she won an Academy Award for The Blind Side, and then about 72 hours after that her personal life exploded in her face. We like to think that the fact that she showed up to the Razzies and was a terrific good sport contributed to the good will she got. I don"t think I"ve ever seen someone whose personal travails got so much sympathy from the public.
TM: Do you have a favorite Razzie category?
JW: We"ve done a bunch of rotating categories, usually coinciding with whatever the trend of the year was. I think my favorite of those was Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D a few years ago.
TM: I know that Stanley Kubrick was nominated for Worst Director for The Shining in that first year of the Razzies. What are some other films or filmmakers that you and/or the voting body thought were worthy of nomination back in their year but now have perhaps come around on and look upon more favorably in retrospect?
JW: You"re assuming that I"m sorry we nominated Kubrick, which I"m not. A large number of my friends who made up the core group that voted that first year were fans of Stephen King. Frankly, what Kubrick did with that novel wasn"t criminal, but it was almost close. It bore almost no resemblance to the novel.
One of the other ones that comes up a lot is Brian DePalma being nominated for Scarface. At that point, I was working with a crew of people who did a lot of promos. One of the movies we did promos for was Scarface, so we saw the dailies. Seeing the dailies for Scarface made it so blatantly clear that DePalma had no freaking idea what he wanted. There"s this one scene where they"re doing a mob meeting at a nightclub. There"s a clown singing on stage. He shot three angles on the clown, just the clown. He shot five wide angles. He shot every two shot combo he could come up with at the table. He shot individual close-ups. For one scene that on screen was maybe two minutes, we sat through an hour of film. And this was what he printed, not just what he shot.
The other thing that I"ve always been upset about is that among the scenes we were sent dailies for was the infamous chainsaw bathtub scene. He lied for years about what he actually shot. I saw the dailies. They were black and white and they made me want to vomit. They were horribly graphic, and kind of twisted. He has always damned the MPAA, and he"s lied, and never been honest about it. Being openly dishonest is a great way to get attention from us.
TM: As an expert on "worst movies," what do you think is the ACTUAL worst movie of all time?
JW: Well, there are two different kinds of worst. There"s the "I enjoy how bad this is," and then there"s the "if this goes on another minute I"m gonna put a gun in my mouth" bad. For the just out and out awful, I think I would say Inchon, the Reverend Moon movie about the Korean War that won our Worst Picture award. It"s so good, it"s never been on home video. It cost something like 40 million dollars and grossed about 1.3 million. They offered people a Rolls Royce to try to get them in the theaters. And that movie received one of my favorite critic quotes of all time. I think it was Time magazine that called it "a turkey the size of Godzilla." It"s boring. It"s self-indulgent. I know people think that Laurence Olivier is one of the greatest actors of the 20th century, but they haven"t seen this. He"s doing this weird Yiddish-British Nebraska accent that changes from one line to the next. He"s got this make-up that makes it look like it"s the first film he made after he died. No matter how you come at the movie, it"s just wretched.
For the best enjoyable worst movie, that"s a three-way tie for me. Because it set out to be a serious film about child abuse, I personally have always found the fact that Mommie Dearest gets laughed at wildly amusing. It"s usually at the "get me an axe" line, but I have never seen an audience get through the film without laughing. The next one is The Lonely Lady with Pia Zadora. I got to see the first cut of it. I was literally falling on the floor with tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard. I would love to do the Razzie equivalent of restoring a great film and restore a great bad film. The version released in theaters is pretty funny too, but the original version of it is just absolutely hilarious. The last one is Paul Verhoeven"s Showgirls. It set out to be a serious drama about lapdancers in Las Vegas, and right off the top, you"re like, "WHAT?!?" By the way, if you"re going to watch it, turn on the closed captioning for the deaf because the dialogue for that movie is so unbelievable. You will not believe they are saying what they are actually saying, but if you have the titles on, it prints right across the screen: "She looks better than a ten inch dick and you know it!"
TM: I know you mentioned it before, but tell me about your current IndieGoGo campaign.
JW: Next year will be our 35th annual, and we think it"s about time that the thing was seen by more people than will fit in whatever hall we"re in on awards night. The thrust of that is we"re trying to raise funds to help do a high-end shoot of the actual ceremony. When you donate to that campaign, you are rewarded. We have souvenir t-shirts, award programs, tickets, a membership. One of the other things that we"re doing there is the "I Want My Ten Bucks Back" Award. Some lucky donor will be chosen, and if they can attend the ceremony, they will be presented live on our stage with a gigantic check giving them their ten dollars back.
TM: So, whisper in my ear, who is gonna win Worst Picture this year? You have to have some inside info, no?
JW: I personally am torn between three of them. After After Earth, I didn"t just want my money back, I wanted my time back. Every year, I have to say, Adam Sandler is surprise. I come at his films with a certain degree of dread, but I think: "Well, it can"t be as bad as Jack and Jill. It can"t be as bad as That"s My Boy!" But he always manages to outdo himself. Grown-Ups 2 is the one I actually disliked the experience of watching the most. But I still cant get my head around how Disney expected to make money doing a 250 million dollar remake of the legend of the Lone Ranger. I get that Johnny Depp is a huge box office draw. All four Pirate movies made a fortune. It is the same director too. But casting a caucasian actor as a Native American and having him do essentially the same stuff that Sacheen Littlefeather was so upset about Marlon Brando doing when he won Best Actor forty years ago. It actually to me is almost a remake of the Will Smith remake of Wild Wild West. It"s awfully similar. There"s a moment where Tonto is climbing on the undercarriage of a train and winks at someone through a hole in the floor. That is directly from Wild Wild West. It"s not coincidence, that is a reference. So they knew they were making a P.O.S.
TM: Before we end here. Since I"m sure you spend a lot of time talking about "worst movies," I wanted to flip it around. What is your favorite film?
JW: I absolutely love and can practically recite Sunset Boulevard. When I was a kid, the Norma Desmond character used to give me the creeps. That movie is everything that a movie should be. It"s romantic, it"s scary, it"s got action, it"s got comedy. It"s a brilliant film.

JACKSON — The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi has denied the state attorney general's motion to remand a lawsuit against Entergy Mississippi Inc. and other Entergy companies to state Chancery Court, according to Entergy.
Under the ruling, the lawsuit will continue to be addressed by the U.S. District Court.
"We're pleased with the ruling, but we still believe this is a matter for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, not the courts," said Haley Fisackerly, Entergy Mississippi president and CEO. "However, we're confident no matter where this case is heard, that our practices have been fair to customers, as eight independent audits have already confirmed, and we're optimistic that will be the finding of the court or regulatory agency that hears this issue."
The suit challenges Entergy's fuel purchasing and power allocation practices. However, Entergy reports since 2008 when the suit was first filed, a total of eight audits have all concluded that there were no inappropriate charges by Entergy Mississippi to its customers. Five independent consulting or auditing firms conducted seven of the audits and the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff conducted its own audit. All five firms were hired by the Mississippi Public Service Commission, and two of the firms were hired at the attorney general's urging.

We are going this Aug and probably not go back again till Oct 2011. I am assuming from a current thread on the us board right now, the annual pass is cheaper for Americans if they are going for 14 days, just not sure what it is for us here. Even if it works out the same, or a bit more, is it worth it with the benefits/discounts etc? Actually, what are the benefits/discounts? Thanks

Imaging beam to take measurements
Incident light excites a Rb atom pair Magneto-Optical Trap
Excites to an excited quasi-molecule state
A photon is then emitted
Results in either bound molecule, or original atom pairPhotoassociation of Molecules
Photoassociation with Excitation Magneto-Optical Trap
As the molecule is formed, it follows potential curves that depend on the energy state of each atom
In MOTRIMS, atoms are excited a second time and then detected by forming a molecular ion
The MOTRIMS MOT
Let's take a look in 1-dimension…
A photon is absorbed and the atom becomes excited—then a photon is emitted.
As this process proceeds, a net change in velocity occurs,
and eventually the atom is slowed to a low speed
What if an atom is moving too fast or too slow?
The atoms will not see the Doppler shift into
resonance, so we need to add something.
Also, we have nothing to keep the atoms trapped in the center.

Chris has been helping my daughter with Geometry for the past few months and over this time her grades have improved tremendously! We are so happy to have found such a great tutor. He is very patient and explains things to her in a way that she can understand. He has given her multiple tools to help her feel more confident in learning the material. She now looks forward to going to her math class. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done for her!
Chris worked with all of my kids and they had nothing but great things to say. He made a great first impression and we will definitely use him again in the future.
My son's feedback was that he liked the fact the Christopher was able to work at my has pace for understanding the Algebra concepts. He also like that Christopher provided valuable insights and multiple ways to solve problems. He is looking forward to continuing his studies for the remainder of the summer!
Christopher is the Best!!!!!!!!!He knows his stuff and he offers online tutoring as well. His passion and knowledge for tutoring is excellent!!!!!!
Christopher started tutoring my son since High school. Now in college, he still does. A very intelligent, talented and knowledgeable tutor, always trying his best to accommodate his time to our needs. Experienced enough to catch what the student is failing on and how to help him out. Young and very kind, always on time for tutoring classes, and ready to teach his best!
Chris would always be very patient with me when I didn't understand the review material and tried to explain thoroughly until I did, which was really encouraging. I thought it was really important that he placed a lot of emphasis on getting into a calm state of mind the session before the exam; Most of tutors I've met with after school would give me review packets before the test so I'd be ready for hard work the next day. All it really did was inspire anxiety and made me doubt my performance when I got more than a couple of questions wrong. Although it's great to teach someone how to face the content head-on, it's a lot harder to do if you don't feel calm and confident about doing it.
We are very grateful to have found Chris who helped my daughter with Math. He is exceptional in his expertise, personality and teaching approach. He is a dedicated tutor, patient and very insightful. He is very reliable. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a tutor, not only for math but also for any other subject.
He is spot on with my son. He is nice yet very straight forward and connects well with him. He is the first tutor that my son connects with so well.
My daughter is always in contact with him, even after hours. He is very punctual and gives my daughter very helpful websites that can help further her learning.
Chris quickly understood our immediate and our long-term needs at the outset, I think he is an excellent tutor, and a very good fit for my son, there is open communication and continuous evaluation after each session. We are also able to reach him by phone or e-mail if the need should arise. The fact that he is not just tutoring my son, but he is also guiding my son through his college selection process is a PLUS. Thank u Chris, my husband and I feels this is indeed money well spent. We thank WyzAnt and Chris.
My daughter is usually reluctant to study but Christopher could actually keep her interested and motivated. Somehow he brought enthusiasm with him for anatomy. He is very good and somehow made the material interesting. He would even suggest study habits for her to follow.
We have had other tutors in the past that were not so good and Christopher was not one of them. He is very very good at tutoring. I would highly recommend him. I am also sad he is leaving our area because I would definitely call him back for future tutoring.
I highly recommend this exceptional young professional. He is not only a great tutor for my high school junior, but he has become a bit of a mentor as well.
Chris is a great tutor. He is very patient, flexible, and knows his subject. He explains how to improve things as well as why the improvements are needed. He has an excellent rapport with his student. I highly recommend him.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

There are so many home remedies for snoring available these days, that it gets quite confusing: We investigate cures for snoring and present you with the facts. Which is the best snoring mouthpiece? Could the Good Morning Snore Solution be the top stop snoring mouthpiece to bring you snore relief? Find the facts about the best anti snoring devices on the market today right here. We unveil pros and cons of this device in our Good Morning Snore Solution review
How it works
The thinking behind the Good Morning Snore Solution is that all you need to do is keep your tongue from falling back into your throat at night. As a result, they've come up with a mouthpiece that fits onto the mouth and secures your tongue. We're a bit worried about this: your tongue is only one part of the snoring problem. Most of us snore because our throats are constricted, and that's why most snoring solutions that work focus on the jaw rather than the tongue. The makers claim that it will advance the jaw, but since all it supports is the tongue, we aren't sure how this is supposed to work.
Does Good Morning Snore Solution work?
It will work if you snore because of your tongue. This explains why there are some people who have chosen this mouthguard for snoring who have no complaints. Unfortunately, because it only addresses one possible cause for snoring, not everyone is so satisfied with the results. Preventing snoring in many cases, involves remedies that ensure the jaw is in a position that keeps the airways open. This is not the best way to treat snoring because it doesn't do much to support the jaw.
What we like about it
We don't like this product, but let's try to be fair:
- It can ease snoring in some cases.
- It is made from soft materials and doesn't hurt as much as some mouthpieces.
- You can use it even if you teeth aren't strong.
What we don't like about it
- Anything that goes in the mouth at night is uncomfortable and may cause drooling. Even if you do quit snoring, it's not a pretty picture.
- The discomfort of having something in your mouth can disturb your sleep. (Main problem on most Good Morning Snore Solution reviews)
- It's fairly affordable as these things go, but the materials are not durable. You will have to replace your mouth guard every year.
- It doesn't fix snoring unless the position of your tongue is your only problem. There's no relief if the blockage occurs further back.
- It's held in your mouth by a bulb that creates suction. There are complaints that it falls out during the night.
- You wake up in the morning with a sore tongue.
- It can't be adjusted to suit the shape of your mouth. As a result, some people have trouble with the fit.
- You cannot breath through your mouth while you are wearing it.
When it comes to cures for snoring, we don't recommend this device (as most people in their Good Morning Snore Solution reviews agree). If you're not convinced yet, see our comparative table of anti snoring mouthpiece devices to see how it fares.

The Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise (CRDE) board has accepted the resignation of Pearl River Resort president and CEO Bryce Warren. He was just named president and CEO of Pearl River late last month.
Choctaw Chief and CRDE board chair Phyliss Anderson said, "Mr. Warren decided to leave based on personal reasons. He has done an exemplary job, and I wish him the very best."
Anderson said the CRDE board are "proactively and aggressively searching for a new Resort president."

With the rail system under criticism from a senior committee of MPs, HMRC have recently announced that they will be further turning up the heat for drivers. Not content with virtually driving the company car off the road, HMRC now intend to raise additional tax from drivers who have switched to their own car for business journeys.
A second stage evaluation of the company car tax reforms implemented in 2002 were published as part of the Budget earlier this year. HMRC updated the work done previously with more data, and studied additional aspects of the impact of the new car tax regime.
The report welcomed the part company car drivers have played in reducing carbon emissions - it estimates that average emissions from company cars in 2004 were around 15g/km lower than they would have been if th...

In a Voice of America article on China's increasingly aggressive assertion into economic and military matters throughout Asia and Africa, IEMS' Barry Sautman comments on the prospects and strategy behind China's recent push to open ancient "Silk Road" trade routes connecting China with the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
As Barry Sautman described:
"China is also forming free trade agreements and promoting greater use of its currency in some countries along these trade routes. The increase in ties between China and these countries will not only boost trade, but also will increase China's energy security.
Some analysts caution that China's rebranding of these international trade routes does not signal a coherent national strategy.
"There is hardly anywhere, where there isn't an impact, from the smallest islands to the largest developing countries, such as India," said Barry Sautman, an associate professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. "Whether there is a strategy on the part of China is a very different question. It seems to me there are strategies as opposed to a strategy. In China there are a lot of people proposing strategies, and there is no one strategy adopted by the central government of China."
Sautman says some of these policies are based on contradictory ideas being put forward by officials, business people and academics in China on how best to engage with the rest of the world."

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice that involved the use of needles to puncture the body to cure diseases or relief pain. Allergy on the hand is an overreaction to an allergen, a condition that makes the patient reacts to proteins. Allergies are known to cause chronic ailments and acupuncture has been linked to its treatment. Some of the conditions known to be triggered by allergies include bronchitis, asthma, bloating, eczema, depression, indigestion, mood swings, hyperactivity, and pain.
Most allergies are seasonal with many occurring during the fall or spring. This is when flowers are in full bloom, pollen is thick in the air, and dust is too. People have a choice of taking allopathic medicines but some of these come with side effects that may be detrimental to their health. Some of the side effects that come with these medicines include drowsiness, a suppressed immune system, as well as being hooked to these medications for any kind of sickness. This makes them opt to treating allergy with acupuncture, which serves as a perfect alternative since it is a natural treatment. Acupuncture offers the perfect relief from these allergies and those that benefit most are those with allergies that affect the large intestines, the stomach, and the spleen.
Staying away from sweets is highly recommended since they are known to trigger allergies. Acupuncture has been an effective method of treating allergies with acupuncture and most people have registered instant relief. In many cases, the relief is felt even before the needles leave the body and this makes acupuncture a very popular way of treating allergies. An important factor to observe while treating allergy with acupuncture is to eliminate milk and sugar from their diet. Acupuncture can be performed through many different ways that include French Energetic, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), hand, and Worsley 5 Element among others. TCM is used in treating conditions that cause the patient to have a deficiency known as the Wei Qi. This deficiency makes people susceptible to colds and respiratory infections that only acupuncture can reduce the impacts.
Acupuncturists understand that the patient also has issues with his immune system and that is why they advice on the diet as well. The doctor administrating acupuncture will be able to tell which among these methods is most effective. Acupuncture has no known side effects and this makes it ideal for treating these allergies. It is a natural way of healing that only stimulates the body to heal itself. Acupuncture has advanced over the years and the use of needles is being faced out by the use of lasers, which are non-invasive. This also makes it safe since no chemicals are introduced to the body. Treating allergy with acupuncture is based more on a lifestyle change that includes change of diet as well as the use of herbal formulas. Changing the diet involves cutting down on dairy products and staying away from spicy and extra sweet foods. These herbal formulas include the Astra 8 and the Minor Blue Dragon formula among others.

The Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) recommends changing how the books are kept on future Social Security and Medicare benefits. They say Americans need a better sense of the government's fiscal health.
The change, if approved, would have no impact on benefits themselves. It would, however, show just how much the social programs truly cost, which proponents say would highlight the need to find long-term fiscal fixes, says the FASAB:
- Social Security, for example, is running big surpluses now but faces bruising demographic changes in coming decades; increasingly fewer workers are paying into the system for each retiree, and that will only worsen as the baby-boom generation retires over the coming years.
- Medicare is also facing a fiscal train wreck in coming decades because of similar demographic pressure combined with rapidly rising health care and prescription drug costs.
- Under current rules, the Social Security program is posted on the government's books as a cash transaction; taxes and interest income are on the revenue side of the ledger, and benefit payments are on the spending side -- Medicare is far more complicated.
Promises of Social Security and Medicare benefits are seen by many as a binding contract. Taxpayers receive annual reports detailing their future benefit packages every year. The FASAB argues that the promises should be put on the books right away.
