HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Kerry Washington is playing the head of a crisis management firm in the new ABC drama series "Scandal." The woman Washington plays is based on someone who fixes problems for real.
Crisis expert Judy Smith's professional life is the inspiration for the character of Olivia Pope.
"For example, we did Michael Vick, and everyone said that, 'Don't do it. He's not going to get back in the league. It's not possible. It's not possible.' And we did it," said Smith.
In 2005, Vick was the top paid player in the NFL. But he lost his contract and went to prison for an illegal dog-fighting operation. Now, Vick is playing for the Philadelphia Eagles under a six-year, $100 million contract.
"The truth is so important. You cannot really help people unless they tell the truth," said Smith.
Smith's high-profile cases have also involved Chief Justice Clarence Thomas and White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
"We look at it, and we develop a strategy. And it's best to unravel the problem and to put people in a better position than they were before," Smith said.
Washington said she enjoys playing the role of a crisis expert.
"The thing that has been most important for me to learn about Judy is that she's far far far smarter than I am or will ever be. So it's really fun to play somebody whose mind is so...intricate," said Washington.
"Judy can walk into any situation and suddenly figure out the landscape of it almost immediately," said "Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes. "She's always fixing things."
If "Scandal" turns into a hit, Smith could have more fixing to do.
"It could be great for business. I would love that. It'd be wonderful," said Smith.

To recreate the dramatic open space around the shrine, urban planners reviving Karbala's old city will increase plaza space outside the site's gates, said Mohammed al-Assam of Dewan Architects.
Shiite officials are also renovating the shrine of al-Abbas next to Hussein's, that of Imam Ali in neighboring Najaf, and the shrine of his descendants in Baghdad.
Join the Discussion | |
Post a Comment |
The rush to improve the shrines became more determined after al-Qaeda militants in 2006 blew up the golden dome of a shrine in Samarra, north of Baghdad. The destruction of the al-Askari shrine — now rebuilt — underscored to Shiite officials the need to rebuild and glorify their shrines to demonstrate their growing power.
"Shiite areas are now in the hands of Shiites. What is happening is natural and it shows their control," said analyst Hadi Jalo.
In contrast to the architects, worshippers aid the changes to the once-neglected shrine should have been even grander.
"All these changes are but a little for the Imam Hussein," said Ahmad Ali, who just arrived in Karbala from Baghdad. "But thank God it's better than before: there's air conditioning, protection from the sun and rain," he said.
Speaking before walking from Baghdad to Karbala, Abdullah Ashraf, 25, said worrying about changes to the shrine misses the point.
"What makes the Hussein shrine alive is the memory of his story."

NDP MP for Sackville—Eastern Shore (Nova Scotia)
Won his last election, in 2011, with 54.10% of the vote.
Statements in the House
Business of Supply January 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the information that the minister now has a dedicated team to finalize these outstanding boards of inquiry. This is something that should have been done an awful long time ago. Therefore, my question to him, with great respect, is why it has taken this long. Some of these inquiries have been outstanding for over five years. I cannot speak for the member, but I think he would agree with me that is way too long.
I am wondering why it has taken so long for this action to happen, although I appreciate the action taken. When will see concrete results for the families of those who have suffered?
Business of Supply January 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. minister and the previous minister for their kind words of sympathy for the families who have suffered tragic losses as a result of suicide. I want to thank them as well for recognizing what our men and women in uniform do on a regular basis, not just at home but around the world.
I would make one recommendation to the defence minister, which he could do right now, that would change the lives of hundreds of military personnel who serve under his watch. The minute they come forward and admit they have a mental or physical problem, the clock starts ticking on their removal from the military. Many men and women in the service will not come forward, knowing full well that it means the loss of their jobs in the military. A recommendation is to either eliminate the 10-year rule for benefits, or allow the men and women who come forward to stay in the military until they have another proper full-time job, or allow them to get all the proper services and benefits and pensionable amounts they could have for the rest of their natural lives. If the minister did that, he would improve the lives of many who serve under his watch.
Business of Supply January 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the minister said two things that I would like to challenge.
He said that those who have a problem should come forward. That is exactly what he should be saying, so that when men and women who serve their country have a severe problem, they can come forward.
The problem is that when they are serving in the military, the minute they do come forward, the clock starts ticking on their removal from the military. We have had over 200 people last year and again this year who are being removed from the military before their tenth year, which means they will lose out on hundreds of thousands of dollars of future benefits. If these men and women are not deployable, they are not employable.
The minister said that veterans will still continue to get the services they require when they need them. Kim and Blair Davis of Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia, are not getting that service. To the minister, they would like to say they have received an email, and want the minister call them and then provide the service they have been asking for.
Business of Supply January 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the quick answer is to listen to the reports of the ombudsmen of the military and the DVA. Both ombudsmen's reports are very clear: the government must do more to improve the mental health of these individuals.
The reality is that we know there is a string of mental health professionals waiting to be hired. The government says the money is there, yet they have not been hired yet.
How can that be? What bureaucratic chink is stopping these people from being hired? Only the Minister of National Defence can answer that question.
Business of Supply January 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, the government is telling everyone that it is closing these offices and providing better services through Service Canada, which is simply not true.
Yesterday I spoke to a veteran who went to a Service Canada office the other day. He said to the young man who was working there, "I understand that as a veteran I have to come here to get help". The response was, "Well, I have a bit of training, but I can give you a 1-800 number, if you'd like".
That is the government's improved services. Then it will say, "Don't worry, we'll come to your house". That is not true. Veterans have to be case managed or severely injured before someone will come to their home. Who determines what a severe injury is? The reality is this. Before they get case managed, it could take two to five business days before someone will get back to them, and it is an "if" as to whether or not someone may show up at their home. Not every veteran will get that service. That is what I find completely unacceptable.
Business of Supply January 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, to put it frankly and as politely as I can in parliamentary language, I believe it was not the minister's finest day.
Having said that, I did speak to a 29-year-old Afghanistan veteran and a 92-year-old World War II veteran, from different ends of the spectrum. The 92-year-old said that when veterans call the DVA they need to bring their lunch because it will be take that long before they get through to it. The 29-year-old said he is very Internet savvy and is finding it difficult to access services and forms through that system called My VAC Account.
What they both said, along with the others, is that they knew in their hearts that they might not be able to get the decision reversed, but they wanted the chance to meet with the minister face to face to say that they are very upset, that they do not like what the government is doing, and that they want to be heard.
Only the minister can explain why he was not at that meeting at 5:00. Only the minister can explain his actions in that regard.
Business of Supply January 30th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, before I start I want to answer the question from the Conservative MP. If he honestly believes that a new budgetary framework will come in for Veterans Affairs, then it should be introduced in a government bill like it was with Bill C-55, which we fully supported. In lumping this into an overall budget with thousands of other spending items and cuts and everything else, we would have to express confidence in the government. I can assure members it will be a long day before we in the NDP ever express confidence in the government.
Today we heard him talk about a very important motion brought in by my colleague. It is an honour, and at the same time there is a bit of sadness, that we bring this to the floor of the House of Commons. Veterans should not have to fight and struggle to get the benefits they so rightly deserve. They have already fought for this country. It is their country, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of government or opposition, that owes them the ultimate and unlimited responsibility, because they have the unlimited liability. The military, the RCMP, and their families deserve no less.
Let us go over a bit of the track record of the current government. The reality is that it took a five-year lawsuit to settle the SISIP clawback, the insurance payment clawback that was being deducted from disabled veterans. It took a ruling from Judge Barnes. It forced the government into an $888 million lawsuit. If the Conservatives had listened to us many years ago, it would have been settled; there would have been less angst among the members of the veterans community, and it would have saved the government and the taxpayer a lot of money. However, they did not.
Now what happens? They are now taking RCMP disabled veterans to court on the exact same type of issue. There are over 1,200 people in a class action lawsuit against the government right now. They have been asked by the RCMP and their families, by the Royal Canadian Legion, and by us repeatedly, to stop the court proceedings, work with the legal team and the RCMP veterans and give them the respect, dignity and payment they so rightly deserve. Their answer is that they are going to go to the courts.
There is another lawsuit going on, with Equitas, against the government, over certain aspects of the new veterans charter. What did the crown attorneys presenting the case for the government say in that lawsuit? These are smart lawyers. They get their directions directly from the government. They indicated that there is no fiduciary or social moral responsibility for the veterans community; that only applies to the aboriginal community. I am paraphrasing.
The members of the veterans community were outraged when they heard this. I have asked the minister and the government on six separate occasions whether they do or do not have a moral, legal, social and fiduciary responsibility to care for those they put in harm's way. What do we get? Absolute silence.
We should not have been too surprised when we saw what happened the other day. I know the minister, deep down, probably regrets what happened. I am sure that he does. However, the reality is that it happened. This type of conduct has happened with veterans across the country for sixteen and a half years, through ten different ministers and from two different parties. What I witnessed the other day was the lowest of the low. That is why we had no choice. They brought in the so-called Veterans Bill of Rights, which we knew was toothless because there is no punishment. If they break a certain element of the Veterans Bill of Rights, they just say they are sorry and they move on. However, every single day of the year our veterans, RCMP, and their families, deserve the utmost respect, dignity and courtesy.
It is our job, whether in government or in opposition, to listen to their concerns. We may not like what they are telling us. We may not like the manner in which they are telling us. However, we get paid very well, and ministers get paid even better, to listen to those concerns. It is our responsibility. We could not sit here if it were not for the sacrifice of the men and women who put on the uniform, and their families, and that of the RCMP who serve us in Canada.
Veterans have unlimited liability. That means they are willing to risk their lives so that you and I can be here, Mr. Speaker. We, again, have the ultimate responsibility for their needs and that of their families, all the way to and including their headstones.
A while back the government presented a budget and said it was going to spend millions more dollars on the Last Post Fund. However, it did not change the litmus test of who could qualify for that fund. Service members who make $12,000 or less may qualify for proper burials, but those who make over that limit do not qualify. Even though the government put more money into it, two-thirds of the applicants are still denied and the Conservatives refuse to correct that.
On the issue of the closure of offices, I want to tell the people of Canada and the Conservatives right now that when they are kicked out of office in the next election, we in the NDP will reopen those offices and make them better, so they provide better services to the men and women who serve our country.
There is something else the government is doing, and many people are unaware of this. When the last Korean overseas veteran passes away, all of the contract service beds across this country will be finished, aside from rare exceptions. Right now the Perley, Camp Hill, the Belcher and other hospitals across the country that service veterans are subsidized by the federal government. When the last Korean veteran dies, the modern-day veterans from 1954 onward will no longer have access to those beds paid for by the federal government.
The federal government is downloading this responsibility onto the backs of the provinces. The previous Minister of Veterans Affairs said that health care was a provincial responsibility. I remind the government that the care and treatment of veterans, RCMP members and their families is a federal responsibility, and to download that to the provinces is unacceptable. In Nova Scotia alone, a $41 million download will happen in the near future. It is unacceptable when we see floors of hospitals being closed for veterans and being transferred over to provincial uses.
The men and women who serve our country deserve no less. They deserve to have the best treatment. As Rick Mercer once said, when we take them from heaven on earth, which is Canada, and send them over to hell on earth, we should give them a gold card and make sure we give them platinum service when they come back.
There are many veterans I deal with who are getting very good service from the Department of Veterans Affairs. That is true, and I compliment the workers of the department who are providing that service. However, the problem is that many others are not getting that service. There are approximately 700,000 men and women who retired from the military who have dependant spouses and the DVA has a client base of just over 200,000, so more than two-thirds of that base is not being serviced now. Many of them do not require the services, but they may one day, and many more veterans are coming online.
I want to highlight two of my constituents, Kim and Blair Davis. They have given me permission to do this. The minister's office knows this file very well, because a few months ago I held an open press conference with the Davises. He had a serious brain injury from a LAV rollover accident and explosion that killed a few of his buddies. He has had major operations and is suffering severely from psychological problems, including PTSD and others. He has not asked for the government to give him a Rolex watch or a trip to Florida, but for basic rehabilitation services. He has asked for things like VIP service to help him, his wife and his family.
Several months went by and I got an email from him yesterday saying, "I am at my wit's end with this government. I simply do not know where to turn. Please, please help me and my family". When a press conference is held, the government says it is going to look after the family and do all sorts of things, and two and a half months later I get an email saying it has not done anything yet. This is indicative of a government that simply is not listening.
In my final words, I will implore the Minister of Veterans Affairs and the Minister of National Defence to please stop the cuts to these departments and hire the mental health workers that are required. The government can pump money in, but if there is a bureaucracy delaying the hiring of these mental health workers, it is simply not working. I implore these two fine men to please get off their chairs and do something in a rational, speedy manner so that the men and women who serve our country in the RCMP and the military and their families will get the respect and dignity they so rightfully deserve.
Canadian Forces Superannuation Act January 30th, 2014
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-572, An Act to amend the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act (deduction of disability pensions).
Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Thunder Bay for seconding the bill.
For members of the RCMP and the military, when they are permanently disabled and medically released from the RCMP or the military, they can apply for Canada pension disability in the event that they can no longer work again. The problem is that, if they receive Canada pension disability, then that is deducted dollar for dollar from any superannuation benefits they receive. Therefore, they ask the question: "Why are we applying for Canada pension disability when we are getting it deducted here?"
We think that is unfair and unconscionable. This bill would correct that deficiency to ensure that the heroes of our country receive all the monies they require in order to get on with their dignified lives.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Veterans January 29th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, as the member of Parliament for 16 and half years, on my tenth minister, from two different parties, yesterday was the lowest of the low in my advocacy for veterans, RCMP members, and their families across this country.
I guess we should be thankful that the minister did not fall asleep in front of them, as the member for Calgary West did previously.
The Veterans Bill of Rights, which the Conservatives brag about, says our veterans deserve respect and dignity. Yesterday they received neither one. The only thing left to do is to ask the Prime Minister of Canada one very simple question: Will he ask for the Minister of Veterans Affairs' resignation? Yes or no.
National Defence January 27th, 2014
Mr. Speaker, what utter nonsense. The fact is, these offices provide invaluable services to the heroes of our country. Those offices that are closing on Friday will no longer be able to deliver that one-on-one personal care that the heroes of our country so rightfully deserve. The offices are closing on Friday, but the government has a chance to do the right thing. Many veterans are on the Hill this week. Many veterans, RCMP members, and their families across the country are watching the government closely.
Will the government now do the right thing, reverse that decision, and keep these offices open so the heroes of our country can get the valuable service they so rightfully deserve?

No. 4 Louisville outlasts Kentucky in foul-plagued rivalry rematch
Dec 29, 2012, 6:38 PM EDT
Kansas survived Ohio State in last week's Final Four rematch, but the tables were turned in Louisville's 80-77 triumph over their in-state rivals in the KFC Yum! Center.
Russ Smith picked up his fourth foul with over nine minutes remaining in the second half, joining Gorgui Dieng and Peyton Siva on the bench in similar straits. Despite the looming disqualification of Louisville's Big Three, the Cards continued to play aggressively and survived to claim the win in the renewal of the Battle of the Bluegrass.
The fact that it came down to fouls may tip a clever reader off to the fact that it also came down to foul shots. Therein lies the rub for Calipari-coached teams, and the beat went on at the free throw line. The Wildcats shot better from the floor (48.3%) than they did from the line (47.8%). The mega-athletic Willie Cauley-Stein had a particularly awful night at the line, missing all four of his freebies.
Siva scored 19 before his fifth foul sent him permanently to the bench with :35 left, but teammates Russ Smith (21 points) and Gorgui Dieng (6 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks) were able to stay on the court until the final buzzer. Dieng was playing his first game back from a hand injury that held him out of the past seven games, and he was playing — for the first time in his college career — in front of his parents, who flew in from Senegal for the big rivalry game.
Kentucky got solid play from Ryan Harrow (17 points), Archie Goodwin (22 points) and Kyle Wiltjer (14). The Wildcats played more of a finesse game, however, which was often brought up short by the physical pounding laid on by the Cardinals. Russ Smith and Chane Behanan (20 points) combined for six steals, and Louisville threw several traps and screens at the younger Wildcats throughout the game. Nonetheless, Harrow upheld his end of the bargain, as pointed out by regional radio host Larry Glover:
Harrow didn't have a TO in 37 minutes against U of L pressure.nice!
— Larry Glover (@larrygloverlive) December 29, 2012
While Kentucky is improving, the team concept has yet to completely gel, obviously. Louisville continues to struggle to score at times, but with Dieng back, they'll stay on the road to the Final Four until someone is able to knock them off course.

Restrictions must be in force on how accumulated money may be spent, and any "future fund" should be decided by West Virginia voters, says Senate Agriculture Chairman Ron Miller.
Otherwise, Miller says he agrees with Senate President Jeffrey Kessler, D-Marshall, that without limits, the proposed account could turn into a political slush fund, exploited by politicians several years from now, once current leaders are no longer in power.
Miller was among a contingent of West Virginia lawmakers who met last Thursday with North Dakota leaders to learn how that state devised its "legacy fund," one that quickly built up a $1 billion account.
Depending on how West Virginia's fund is created, Miller said money could be targeted for specific projects.
"It would certainly put the restrictions on using it and getting to it," Miller, D-Greenbrier, said Monday.
"That's basically what they did in North Dakota. They didn't say how it was to be used, but specified when it could be tapped into."
Without built-in limitations, Miller warned, such a fund could be exploited for personal political gain.
"It could be raided very easily if you don't do it that way," he said. "If you put it in an constitutional amendment with the voters, you can't just come in willy-nilly and take the funds. They would have to follow what the code says.
"You've got to make it where it's tough to get to. It's kind of a 'tough love' kind of thing. You have to put the money aside and you know it's there. And you know there's an amount there. There's always things we could find to spend it on. You just have to leave it alone."
In reality, North Dakota manages about half a dozen special funds, although none approaches the size of the "legacy fund," the West Virginians learned.
"We're never going to be the size of the legacy fund," Miller said.
Money has gushed into North Dakota's fund from the Bakken Oil Fields, the second largest producer in the nation — an enterprise that stands as one of that region's major economic engine.
"I was shocked to find an average employee at a McDonald's in Bakken gets $15 an hour," Miller said.
Given the bi-partisan makeup of the delegation making the North Dakota trip — several in the group are conservative Republicans — Miller is confident the "future fund" proposal will fare better in the 2014 legislative session. This year, it never hit the Senate floor for a vote.
Miller doubts that any monies acquired for the fund would be tailored specifically for agriculture programs, but could be assigned to the other part of his Senate committee — rural development.
"I do think they could be used strongly in rural development," he said.
North Dakota lost miserably on its first try with the voters, with the legacy fund crushed in a lopsided vote, largely out of concern it would have hurt education. The second time out, the fund was approved by a nearly identical margin, and this time, the main opposition came from farmers.
Miller felt right at home when his plane touched down at the North Dakota airport.
"I loved flying into Bismarck," he said.
"It's the only airport besides Greenbrier Valley that I flew in that had round hay bales sitting next to the runway."

My first trip to New Orleans and boy was it memorable! We got there early, they apologized the room wasn't ready and called us when it was. We were a nice walk from so many places. If you are lazy, take a cab, but if you are interested in increasing your step count, this is actually the perfect location. The breakfast had just about every food you could think of; they changed the menu slightly each day; I had bacon, grits, sausage gravy N biscuits, omlettes, french toast, yogurt, cereal and fruit. There was also other foods but I couldn't try them all. Given the already low price of the suite, I could not have asked for more in a hotel. ...
September 4, 2013
The hotel was old and needed updating room was clean and had been painted over many many times. Had to go outside to get to the room like a motel. Staff were very friendly but not accomodating. Only one person to serv the entire hotel drinks and cook breakfast, terrible! Needed roll away wouldn't let us have one, because they said it wouldnt fit, I beg to differ. This is by far the worst Embassy Suites I have ever stayed at. Personally dont think it deserves to be called embassy suite . ...

I was upset because i wasnt aware the hotel was being renovated until I arrived. The pool was extra small. Hot tub unavailable. Had cocktails in a small crowded area. I just wasn't happy with the hotel, but probably would have been fine until the room flooded and had to leave that early in the morning and wait until later because no rooms were available. I spent a lot of money and just didn't feel like I got what I paid for. I have stayed in Embassy Suites before and was pleased with services. This time, not so much. We invited friends to stay and just got a raw deal. ...

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Grapes are the number one crop in the Central Valley and every year, more are being grown to be made into wine. A small winery in Kingsburg is winning awards for the wine it's turning out.
Under the familiar Kingsburg tea cup water tower this southern Fresno County business is booming with success and recognition.
Oscar Ramos said, "I think it's awesome that a little winemaker in Kingsburg is hitting home runs up in San Francisco."
Ramos won two bronze and one gold medal at the 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition earlier this month. He grew up in a farmworker household, who tended vineyards. By the time he finished high school his goal was to grow his own grapes and make wine.
The 2003 graduate of Fresno State's school of winemaking chose to make wine in the San Joaquin Valley, rather than the Napa Valley.
Ramos said, "I thought there was a need for educated wine-makers to stay here in Fresno and the Central Valley."
And after a decade of work it's now reality... his small vineyard and other Central Valley sources of wine grapes become just 150 cases a year. A boutique offering that has a loyal following waiting for the latest release of his red and white wines.
He's determined to help drive visitors to his home town.
"Hay look, Kingsburg is a nice community come and visit," said Ramos. "I really don't expect to keep expanding... I really just want to make really, really good wine on a small scale."
Oscar Ramos' parents and his education in the vineyards of Fresno State helped bring his wines statewide recognition. They also made his dream of making wine in the Valley a reality.

My natural hair colour is a dark blonde/mousy brown shade, and for several years I've been dyeing it a rich, dark brown. Unfortunately my eyebrows are still quite light and can look a little strange, so I tend to use make-up to make them darker. My favourite eyebrow product at the moment is actually another one by ELF - their studio eyebrow kit which is excellent, so I had hoped the ELF lifter and filler would be just as good. The product is a double ended pencil. One end is a dark colour with which to fill the brows in, the other is a lighter colour which you apply under the arch of the brow to highlight and lift the brow area. The pencil comes ...

An autopsy was conducted Tuesday and foul play is not suspected, according to a release from the Ontario Provincial Police's Essex County detachment. Autopsy results were not released.
Probert played for the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks over his 16-year career.
His funeral is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. ET Friday at the Windsor Christian Fellowship church.

US 3100305 A Description (OCR text may contain errors) M. C. KAYE Aug. 13, 1963 MATTRESS Filed June 9, 1961 INVENTOR. Mc/me/ 6 Kaye. United States Patent 3,100,305 MATTRESS Michael C. Kaye, Portland, Greg, assignor to Freightliner Corporation, Portland, Greg, a corporation of Delaware Filed June 9, 1961, Ser. No. 116,195 1 Claim. (Cl. 345) This invention relates generally to mattresses and more particularly to mattresses for use in trucks and other moving vehicles where the occupant lies with his head and feet on an Iathwartship line. It is well known that in long distance trucking alternate drivers sleep in a suitable compartment, for example the compartment may be behind the drivers seat. Since the sleeper ordinarily lies with his head and feet on an athwartship line, he is particularly subject to forces developed by the fore and aft acceleration and deceleration of the truck. These forces have a tendency to roll the sleeper and in some instances have a tendency to roll the sleeper completely off the ledge. A mattress is ordinarily placed in this compartment and is secured, as for example, by attaching it to the back of the truck seat. These attaching devices are particularly uncomfortable when the sleeper is rolled onto them as often occurs due to the acceleration and deceleration forces. In addition, the amount of room available for the sleeper is relatively small and consequently the mattress or pad is usually thin resulting in poor cushioning of the occupant. It is a general object of the present invention to provide an improved mattress. 'It is a more particular object \of this invention to provide an improved mattress for use in trucks and the like. It is a further object of this invention to provide a mattress which includes improved comfort in a restricted space. It is still another object of this invention to provide a mattress having the aforementioned characteristics wherein means are provided for comfortably impeding the fore and aft motion of the occupant caused by acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle itself. These objects and others are generally accomplished in the present invention by employing a mattress having wedge shaped longitudinal edges. A mattress cover cooperates with the wedge shaped longitudinal portions of the mattress, to increase the cushioning. The aforementioned objects may be clearly understood from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which: FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a truck cab showing a mattress in accordance with this invention; FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a mattress in accordance with this invention without a cover; FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of a mattress in accordance with this invention showing the action of the wedge shaped edges; and FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of a covered mattress showing the cooperation of the wedged edges and the mattress cover. Referring particularly to FIGURE 1, a truck cab 11 having a drivers seat 13 and a ledge 15 is schematically illustrated. A mattress 17, preferably covered with a cover 18, is disposed the ledge 15. The shape of the mattress is more clearly shown in FIGURE 2. It includes an elongated slab or body portion 19. Along the upper longitudinal edges of the slab 19 wedge shaped portions 21 are disposed. The wedge 3,100,305 Patented Aug. 13, 1963 shaped portions and the slab 19 may be formed integrally with each other and may be made of any suitable resilient material such as for instance, urethane foam (polyurethane polyether). Referring to FIGURE 3, a man 23 is shown reposing. When a weight such as a man is located on the surface the side portions deform to permit deflection of the center of the mattress. The tips of the wedges are more flexible than the slab or body alone thus permitting more deflection in the center than in a similar mattress without the longitudinal wedges. This can be explained by considering the top surface of the body or slab as a stretched membrane which is deflected by the weight. Without the wedged edges the forces maintaining the membrane taut are relatively high. With flexible wedges present they tend to bend or flex to give rather low restraining forces thereby providing better cushioning. Referring to FIGURE 4, a mattress having a cover 18 is shown in use. 'It should be realized that when a flat resilient form such as a mattress body is covered by material such as cotton mattress ticking, the depression caused by a person resting on the mattress is retarded due to the ticking itself. The ticking is relatively inflexible and tends to maintain a constant overall periphery about the mattress. Thus, in order to fit into the depression, a covering about a flat mattress must curl the sides to equalize a total overall periphery. Since the sides of -a flat mattress resist this curling action, the result is a general stiffening efiect due to the use of the mattress cover. However, in the embodiment shown in FIGURE 4 the mattress cover normally lies in relatively close contact with the mattress until a weight, such as a person is placed on the mattress. The weight of the person causes the wedges 21 to be deflected and the mattress cover spans from the Weight to the deformed tip of the wedge as at 225. Thus, it is seen that an improved mattress is provided in which longitudinal shoulders are incorporated along the edge to more closely conform to the body of the occupant thereby providing greater support and comfort. The wedges also tend to protect the occupant from protrusions. The shape of the mattress has special advantages, particularly when considered in conjunction with the mattress cover, wherein deformation of the mattress is not retarded by a curling tendency. I claim: A mattress comprising a relatively flat elongated body portion having upper and lower spaced surfaces and longitudinal side edges, an elongated wedge-shaped portion extending along the entire length of each of said side edges, the edge of said wedge extending upwardly with one surface of the wedge merging with the upper surface of the body to define therewith a continuous upper surface, and a cover loosely cooperating with the upper surface of said mattress and extending over the edge of said wedge, said cover forming a membrane which is supported by the continuous upper surface and the edge of the wedge, when said cover is deflected by an object disposed on the same, the edge of said wedge cooperates with the cover to provide a restraining force which is less than the force which would exist in the absence of wedges cooperating with the cover.

well, what we did was push the buttons until something showed up and then we clicked on part of that and then pushed delete cookies and the screen went blank and then we tried to do something else with an e-mail which told of carlene's bango with the little red headed boy/girl from the bodega and her ma who left the dog out on the hall way and it took a dump and we told everybody about it and got a clod slawe recipe that we cant use cause of hillies cabbage allergies and the peenutz shots and then sent a pix set to marko of the way I want to look if I looked that way and these boxes keep showing up selling italian mystery shows with cars that go fast and get 43 miles and do the lawn and some kind of lemons inside a vodka bottle with a woman with huge garbanzos and no pants on talking real fast and we clicked on that and then the bell rang and we had to leave and all this went to the government data collecters and good luck to them in figuring it out by any means possible I want a new cellphone too.

The Costco deal still works. It has been modified. Here is the most recent method:
Go to the Costco website here: http://www.costco.com/directv.html Set up your account online. You need to have the Costco/Directv (black bar) above so that the registration is run through Costco.com . Again, you do not need to be a Costco member to register on their website. Pulling another window to run the referral program will give you an info bar saying the savings can't be combined. Do not open another window. Take a screen shot and save the Costco page showing your order number. It takes a few weeks for the $200 card to be mailed out and this will be your proof of purchase. CutePDF Writer freeware available at: http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/write... FYI Costco has a great rebate investigation program. Costco Customer Service (800) 955-2292 Costco Rebate Service (866) 355-3137 Now call Directv and tell them on the phone that you want to sign up for the referral program. Account #59382980 Last name: Azali Zip: 91326 The program won't kick in until 1-2 billing periods but you should receive all 10 months savings and your Costco cash card around the same time. Happy Hunting! |
The Costco offer still works. Just signed up for my brother couple of weeks ago. I did the refer a friend link first then pulled the Costco offer page in a new window in order for the offer to go through. Hope it helps.
Please use my account# 34758772 when you sign up and we'll both can save! Thanks again. |

Hi there!
The breadcrumb title of the site map doesn't seem to change with the admin config (admin/config/search/sitemap), although the title of the page itself does.
It looks like the breadcrumb gets the title from Drupal's menu system, and the sitemap module doesn't change the value of the title on its hook_menu.
This patch creates a title callback for the hook_menu which checks for the variable and sets the title accordingly.
Please let me know if this is the best way of dealing with this issue.

Esquire Has Posted the Sexy Sharon Tate Photos that Inspired the Megan Draper "Mad Men" Theory
By Dustin Rowles | Trade News | May 30, 2013 | Comments ()
Yesterday, after Josh Kurp so benevolently tipped me off to a discussion comparing Sharon Tate to "Mad Men's' Megan Draper over on Reddit, the rest of the Internet picked it up and ran with it, adding a few new wrinkles of their own. It was on EW, Slate, the Daily Beast, and the AV Club, among dozens of sites, by the end of the day. By the middle of today, the inevitable backlash had even begun, as backlashes are wont to do.
But it's important to note that it wasn't Uproxx or even Reddit that initially instigated the theory, it was the daughter of photographer William Helburn, who pointed out that it was her father who took those iconic photographs of Sharon Tate on the set of Rosemary's Baby for Esquire that would inspire the "Mad Men" costume designer to dress Megan in that certain way. The daughter, who goes by White Lady, had one hell of a fun day on Twitter yesterday.
As a result, Esquire has pulled the photos from their archives and reposted them, and they are pretty goddamn fantastic. You should go over their to check out the full slide show, but here's a taste.
