Hi Minthe,
Thank you for sending the book. Unfortunately it is not possible to mark a member's giveaway as received, as far as I know.
I'm in the final stage of my bachelorstudy besides my fulltime job, so it can take a while 'till I write a review.

Dear Minthe
Are you intending coming to the World Cup? I must say I was very impressed by the accuracy of the book. It takes place in Cape Town and its strange to see the actaul resturants or places that you visit actually mentioned in the book. If you want to know more about South Africa please ask

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Jennifer Lopez made a sultry music video with model David Gandy. The two are rumored to be dating, now that Casper Smart is out of the picture.
Still making headlines 30 years later, Duran Duran released this clip for track "Girl Panic," off 2010's All You Need Is Now. The beautifully shot video features a slew of supermodels including Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova and Helena Christensen as the band.
One would think that standing around looking pretty would be kind of low-stress, but the sheer number of trainwrecks and burnouts coming out of the pretty pictures game implies a little differently.

Mike Fucito scored twice as Seattle Sounders FC remained unbeaten in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tournament-related games, topping the Kitsap Pumas, 2-1, on Tuesday night in a third-round match in front of 3,811 fans at Starfire Sports Stadium.
With the victory, Sounders FC advance to the quarterfinals and will host the L.A. Galaxy in a quarterfinal game at Starfire on either July 12 or 13.
The Rave Green is now riding a four-match winning streak in all competitions and remains unbeaten in their last seven games (5-0-2). The two-time defending Open Cup champions are 10-0-1 all-time in the tournament and related qualifiers.
Fucito's game-winning goal came in the 62nd minute when Michael Seamon played him into the right side of the box. Using some quick footwork to maneuver around a Kitsap defender and away from goalkeeper Bryan Meredith, Fucito then blasted a right-footed shot past Meredith, giving Sounders FC a 2-0 lead that they would not relinquish.
The Harvard graduate's first goal came in the 39th minute when Seattle forward Nate Jaqua headed down a cross to Fucito in the box. Fucito sent a left-footed volley across Meredith and into the back of the net.
Fucito left the contest in the 68th minute. He was replaced by Jeff Parke.
The Pumas, unbeaten and atop the Northwest Division of the USL Premeri Development League, got on the scoreboard in the 71st minute after Seattle had just cleared a corner kick. Robert Christner the ball back into the box where Pumas midfielder Nikolas Besagno hit it past Seattle goalkeeper Terry Boss, cutting the lead in half.
Sounders FC dominated the Pumas in total shots (25-7) and shots on goal (8-1). Impressive goalkeeping from Meredith kept the Pumas in the match late, as he recorded six saves.
In the 75th minute, Sounders FC midfielder Miguel Montano got off a powerful strike from 24 yards out, but Meredith lunged to his right and made the stop.
In the 82nd minute, Jaqua fired a hard shot at Meredith, who made an impressive stop diving to his right.
Sounders FC will next return to MLS play as they visit the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. on July 4 for an opportunity to gain ground on the league-leading L.A. Galaxy. First kick is set for 7:30 p.m. PT and the match will be nationally televised on ESPN2.

Highly recommended. Really large servings for affordable prices. But be warned that they are cash-only; as out-of-towners we had no idea -- there were zero posted signs.
We enjoyed a beautiful view of the mountains at a little picnic table on the patio. The spinach lasagne was good, as was the garlic bread, but the chocolate gelato was outstanding!
boccalis is by far the best Italian food in California... heck, in the world! I had the pepperoni olive pizza, even though it is not on the menu, the heartwarming waiting staff served it to me without a problem! no scoffing or rude remarks like I've seen in the past at different restraunts. the restraunt is very clean and sanitary!...
Every Ojai visit includes a mandatory Boccali's visit -- especially when the tomatoes are in from the garden! (Summer…July/Aug/Sept.) Wonderful pizza, some great Boccali-vintage table wines, easy fun atmosphere (Eat outside at the picnic tables if you can when the weather's good!) And mandatory that you MUST order at least 1 strawberry shortcake for the table. Yum.
But don't forget:...
First time here, brought by friends. Both indoor and outside seating (with a wonderful, late afternoon view of a vineyard.)
Had the Eggplant Lasagna, delicious! The pesto ravioli, which my wife had was the same. They have their own label of wines, and we were impressed by the Cabernet. BUT - the top billing goes to their Strawberry Shortcake. I've...
Excellent food cooked like it was at home. The staff were friendly. Lots of room to eat outside. And one strawberry short cake was just about too much dessert for four of us.
12months of the year is the perfect time to eat here. Outdoor when the weather is nice (huge lawn area for big groups). Inside is cozy for cold days. You won't have a bad meal, no matter what you order. Save room for the strawberry shortcake! Locally owned and they use locally grown produce. This is where Ojai residents eat...
The tomatoe basil pizza was so good! Such a great atmosphere, we sat outside and watched the sun go down. The strawberry shortcake is to die for!
If you want fresh eat at Boccali's, they grow their veggies right out back... The egg plant pizza is amazing! Nothing beats Boccali's! If your ever in OJAI you have to make a stop and eat here.
Set at the base of some hills, on the outskirts of mystical Ojai, this place is a good choice for some hearty pizza. We ate bruschetta, a sausage, garlic, mushroom, green chile (huge slabs of green chile covered the entire pizza) pizza, and a delectable shortcake with tons of fresh red strawberries. Service was attentive, but not intrusive or overbearing....

Grants Enhance Comprehensive Capital Campaigns
Kresge Foundation: Capital Challenge Grant Program
The Kresge Foundation supports communities in the United States and around the world by strengthening the nonprofit organizations that serve them. The Foundation's six major areas of interest are health, environment, arts and culture, education, human services, and community development. Through the Capital Challenge Grant Program, the Foundation supports nonprofit organizations that are engaged in comprehensive campaigns designed to support institutional growth through the construction of new facilities as well as the acquisition or renovation of existing facilities, the purchase of real property, and the purchase of major integrated equipment systems. Because environmental conservation is one of the Foundation's values, challenge grant applicants are encouraged to consider green construction issues. The Foundation accepts online letters of intent for this program throughout the year. Visit the website listed above to review the Capital Challenge Grant Program guidelines. Arts and Culture – The arts are a vital component of strong, healthy communities. However, this sector faces several challenges to its long-term sustainability, including a volatile funding climate, under-resourced organizations, changing audiences, turnover in leadership, changes in technology and a fragile arts education system. We find that the values of strengthening community impact, creating opportunity, and promoting innovation are particularly relevant for this set of challenges.
Freedom to Create Grant
Freedom to Create awards grants to projects which use the arts to create transformational change in developing countries. Projects must fall into one of six sectors: Education, Health, Social Harmony, Urban Regeneration, Freedom to Create or Designs for Life and must use an art form to educate, build, heal or inspire people.

text: Some of the wildlife I see from my window. I love watching them and photographing them. All through the summer and up till the middle of November I have enjoyed watching the Gray Fox family. There were five pups out there with two sets of parents. What beautiful animals! I only see three of the pups and one of the mothers these days. They come out at night now so it's hard getting photos of them. One of the pups has gotten shot by a hunter and is now walking on three legs. It's so sad because I know he will not make it through the winter. He has a bone protruding from his leg and it will never heal properly. The bacteria will get in it and he will die a slow death. The Wildlife Rehabbers know the situation but they don't seem interested. Sad.

Current Postdoctoral Fellows
|Maria Rodolis, PhD
Chemistry Department
Originally from a small rural town in the Dominican Republic, Maria Rodolis migrated to New York where she grew interest in the STEM fields. In 2006, Maria began her studies at SUNY New Paltz where she majored in Chemistry and minored in Biology. Throughout her undergraduate studies, she embarked on various research projects at SUNY New Paltz and abroad at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica and at the Center of Molecular Biology Severo Ochoa in Spain. In 2010, she was awarded the New York State Chancellor's award and obtained her B.S. in Chemistry. Soon after graduating, Maria Rodolis was awarded an NSF GRFP fellowship to conduct her PhD studies at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdoms. Her PhD research project focused on the Interaction of Translocase MraY with the Antibacterial E Protein from Bacteriophage ΦX174. The results of her research project has been submitted to a high-ranking journal for publishing. In January 2014, Maria began an AGEP-T FRAME funded postdoctoral research project at Stony Brook University under the leadership of Professor Nicole Sampson where she will be investigating various processes involved in mammalian fertilization.

|Cindy V Leiton, PhD
Anesthesiology Department
A native Colombian, Dr. Leiton has long-standing interest in education, teaching and research. She discovered this through her involvement in her high school's urban debate league in the small city of Providence, Rhode Island, where her family migrated to when she was 9 years old. As captain of her high school debate team, she became intrigued by the factors that shape individual learning and confidence building, and she developed an appreciation for the importance of scientific research to inform decision making at the government and public health levels. After graduating from a high school, she went on to the University of New Haven (UNH) where her first research experience was in clinical research through a position as a student assistant in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Yale University. There, she was involved with various aspects of both the clinical and the basic side of research studies that sought to understand why demographically disadvantaged women in the New Haven area were experiencing a high rate of pre-term delivery. This experience led her to look for additional research opportunities at other institutions, and that led her to the Alliance for Graduate Education in the Professoriate (AGEP) at Stony Brook University. Through the summer research experience provided by AGEP, she found her doctoral research laboratory and advisor and joined the Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology graduate program in the Pharmacological Sciences Department at Stony Brook University upon graduating from UNH.
Dr. Leiton's doctoral research focused on understanding how metallo-enzymes known as the Matrix Metallproteases are involved in brain development, particularly in the cells that generate the brain's white matter, the oligodendrocytes. In her work, she characterized a signaling pathway mediated by metallo-enzymes that regulates the development of the oligodendrocytes. Outside of the lab, she mentors, teaches and advises many students through her involvement with Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and AGEP at Stony Brook and in the greater NYC area at nearby institutions. As a postdoc, her research is now focused on understanding how the brain copes with oxygen deprivation and which cells may be targeted to circumvent such an event which can occur upon stroke, traumatic brain injury and other types of trauma. Additionally, Dr. Leiton's goal with the AGEP-T FRAME's program is to learn about the many tools available to teach and leverage them to develop curriculums that will provide a strong platform for student learning in the classroom and lab.

Subject: re Sorenson's supposed bug
Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2006 16:26:33 -0500
Thought I'd drop a note before someone told me I was an idiot. I had
started to make sure that the following wasn't a flaw in my reasoning;
but I'm not sure I remembered to do it in re 488 whatever and 524.1C.
To wit, one has to remember that one can have matching squares in the
Sorenson display and that can mean--nothing happened there. IOW there
frequently occurs double negatives--"one doesN'T NOT have something".
That might be the case with my supposed bug; but I had noticed the
ambiguity of the display/my though process earlier and I thought I had
accounted for it; but I may not have. I'll double check later--unless
someone says "Yes I've checked and there's nothing wrong with the search
engine and you're an idiot."

Parents calls on government to change school holidays
A parent from Nuneaton has delivered a petition with more than 126,000 signatures to Downing Street, calling for the Government to reverse a ban on taking schoolchildren on holiday during term time.
Craig Langman says many parents can not afford the higher cost of holidays during school breaks, and says the decision should remain with head teachers. The Department for Education says children miss out on valuable learning time if taken out of school.
Mark Anderson is a Headteacher and told ITV News Central children will not learn as much if they are out of education.

The Fox Inheritance (Jenna Fox Chronicles)by Mary E Pearson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Once there were three. Three friends who loved each other—Jenna, Locke, and Kara. And after a terrible accident destroyed their bodies, their three minds were kept alive, spinning in a digital netherworld. Even in that disembodied nightmare, they were still together. At least at first. When Jenna disappeared, Locke and Kara had to go on without her. Decades passed, and then centuries.
Two-hundred-and-sixty years later, they have been released at last. Given new, perfect bodies, Locke and Kara awaken to a world they know nothing about, where everyone they once knew and loved is long dead.
Everyone except Jenna Fox.
"In Pearson's latest installment in the Jenna Fox Chronicles, following a fatal car crash, the minds of teenage Locke and Kara are recorded and saved as computer data. The two teens are given new life, 260 years later, via biosynthetic bodies that are indistinguishable from living human beings. But as Locke reflects on his old life, remembers his mind's virtual imprisonment, and discovers the marvels and dangers of the future, he begins to suspect that something about the new version of Kara isn't quite right. Matthew Brown narrates with a smooth, mellow voice that is very appropriate for this YA sci-fi novel. His rendition of the distressed Locke is spot on, and he provides equally appropriate voices for the book's various characters: adults, kids, males, female, and even robots. Brown's reading also captures the thoughtful reflection of the author's prose, while still creating excitement and tension when the story hits suspenseful passages. A Holt hardcover."

FARMERS are setting off on a mercy mission to transport vital food and bedding to animals stranded on farms in flood disaster areas.
Rallying to the cause are Moss Bank father and son, 54-year-old Chris and Jack Forster, who are only too happy to offer a helping hand by collecting and delivering supplies to Sedgemoor, Somerset, in an area of the country devastated by flooding.
"We will collect the first load from Penrith, where it has been gathered by the area's Young Farmers group," said Jack, a 26-year-old former rugby union player with Sale Sharks.
"In two or three months time, donations are going to be all the more important because the biggest problem is that with being underwater for so long, all the crops are spoiled."
The Forsters, who farm at Shoots Delph, Moss Bank, and also rear beef cattle at Haigh, Wigan, have previously been involved with Forage Aid and last year transported vital supplies to snow-hit farms.
Farming is ingrained in the Forster blood, with Jack hoping his 10-month-old son Joseph will become the sixth generation to earn a living on the land.
Jan, Jack's grandmother, and his mum and dad Anne and Chris rear traditional breeds, such as Aberdeen Angus, Red Ruby Devons and Shorthorns, on a grass-based system, producing much prized organic meat.
"We're helping out for a good cause. It is for an animal welfare issue and we know others will want to help those in need. We are fortunate not to be in that situation."
Chris and Jack aim to make mercy missions to Somerset and any farmer who wants to contribute and has foodstuff or bedding material they wish to donate can contact forsterorganicmeats.com, or call 07944 664526.

Bulgarian PM Announces Trip to Russia over Scrapped Belene N-Plant
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov revealed Tuesday that he has been invited to Moscow by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
Borisov and the Russian officials will discuss the consequences of Bulgaria's decision to abandon the Belene nuclear power plant project last year.
The Bulgarian Prime Minister told reporters on Tuesday that Bulgaria and Russia should decide the fate of the Russian-made nuclear reactor that was initially intended for Belene without resorting to court proceedings.
The exact date of his visit to Russia has not been announced yet.
Borisov's GERB government scrapped the project for the construction of Belene back in March 2012. The move led Russia's Rosatom to file a suit with an international arbitration court in Paris.
After it was first started in the 1980s, the construction of Bulgaria's second nuclear power plant at Belene on the Danube was stopped in the early 1990s over lack of money and environmental protests.
The Belene NPP has been de facto frozen since the fall of 2009 when the previously selected strategic investor, the German company RWE, which was supposed to provide EUR 2 B in exchange for a 49% stake, pulled out.

KAREN Colliver and Maree West are stepping it up for breast cancer.
When I saw it I just got really emotional and I thought this is a perfect way for me to celebrate the fact that I'm reaching five years.
Ms Colliver, from Heathcote, and Ms West, from Junortoun, have both battled the ugly beast that is breast cancer and jumped at the chance to take part in Steps for Support: BCNA's Great Wall Challenge in October.
The Breast Cancer Network Australia fundraiser will see participants walk different sections of the Great Wall of China over the course of five days.
Money raised will go towards helping BCNA provide free programs, resources and support for Australians affected by breast cancer.
Ms Colliver said she had received an email about the fundraiser and instantly decided she had to do it.
"There were only limited places so we'd paid the deposit, put the forms in and had everything done in two hours," she said.
Ms Colliver will hit the "five-year mark" this October.
"Everyone always wants to get to that five-year goal from when you've finished treatment," she said.
"Because it's in October it works in well with the trip.
"When I saw it I just got really emotional and I thought this is a perfect way for me to celebrate the fact that I'm reaching five years.
"And because BCNA is such a great cause I thought I have to do it.
"It meant a lot personally to be able to take it on."
Participants must raise $3500 each to take part in the challenge.
Ms Colliver and Ms West are organising a Breast Cancer Fundraiser Family Fun Day in the Park at the botanic gardens in White Hills on March 30 from 11am to 3pm.
"There will be a doll and teddy show and the car club I'm involved with will be doing a show and shine," Ms West said.
"There will be activities throughout the day - things like lucky dips, a footy kicking competition, fairy floss, a scavenger hunt, barbecue lunch, face painting and a jumping castle.
"It will be a great day so we want as many people as possible to come along and help raise money for a very worthy cause."
Ms West said they would be ramping up their training regime in the coming months in preparation for the trek.
"We have to do our own personal training," she said.
"There's five days that we actually trek and it's a five-to-six hour trek on each of those days.
"We're staying in all different types of accommodation near the wall and we've got two-to-three star ratings so it's not as if we're staying at the best hotels.
"We've been warned some of them don't have western style toilets so it's going to be a real adventure.
"We're really looking forward to it."
Ms West said everyone knew someone touched by breast cancer.
"Seven women every day in Australia will die from breast cancer, on average," she said.
"Forty-one women are diagnosed in Australia every day.
"And there's about 125 to 150 men every year who will be diagnosed with breast cancer as well."

Playing for the Everett Silvertips in the WHL's U.S. Division meant regular appointments with high-scoring teams such as the Portland Winterhawks, who led the league in goals scored, and the Tri-City Americans, who had three 100-point scorers. Meantime, Everett was just trying to scrape together enough points for a playoff berth. Lo and behold, though, Walters emerged as one of the underrated shutdown defencemen in the NHL draft class of 2012, helping the 'Tips make the post-season after a very slow start. He also earned an invitation to last weekend's NHL Scouting Combine along with his highly touted teammate Ryan Murray.
"We struggled in the first part of the season, got like six wins or something," the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Walters said. "But since I'm here [at the scouting combine I must have done something to get noticed. I think it helped with Ryan [Murray] on my team. Scouts come to watch him and if you produce, they notice you too."
The 18-year-old Walters tallied six goals and 18 points in 62 games for Everett, while amassing 95 points. His plus/minus was -27, but that probably reflected that he was on a classic hard-working team which scored only 132 non-power play goals, making it tough for a defensive defenceman to earn a coveted plus. By most accounts, he was consistent throughout the year, as his NHL Central Scouting ranking barely budged — 68th among North American skaters in January and 69th in April's final ranking. That suggests he's pretty steady. Becoming more physical as he keeps physically maturing and becoming more at ease with the WHL could help him kick up his game a notch after the draft.
Walters, who's from St. Albert, Alta., played with Murray occasionally on special teams; the two left-shot defencemen usually weren't paired together. But Walters notes playing with a top prospect helped.
"I learned a lot from Ryan watching what he does in the rink and outside the rink," said Walters, who added he also leaned on overage Josh Birkholz for support this season.
1. In which aspect(s) of hockey do you feel you made your largest strides this season?
"Confidence with the puck in my own zone and the offensive zone. My first year I only had four points. I'd just get the puck and get rid of it. This year I was more confident and more able to look for our guy and make the good pass, look for a better option."
2. Which NHL defencemen do you watch closely, not necessarily to emulate, but for certain elements of what they do?
"I think I kind of play along the lines of [retired Colorado Avalanche defenceman] Adam Foote or a Matt Greene [of the Los Angeles Kings]. Just simple, hard-nosed, stuff like that."
3. Apart from the obvious — everyone your age has to become a better skater, everyone has to increase his strength — what are some specific components of the game you really need to focus on over the next year or two?
"My offensive game. Not necessarily just points, but being able to walk the line, get my shots through to the net. Knowing when to get in and when to get out of the rush. When to pinch and when not to pinch. Stuff like that."
4. What is your favourite road rink in the WHL?
"Seattle's really nice, Vancouver too, but Kelowna [Prospera Place] is probably my favourite. Nice atmosphere. I didn't grow up there but I spent a year at the Pursuit of Excellence [Hockey Academy in Kelowna] and my aunt lives there so growing up I would go there for Christmas break and always go to a couple games."
5. Did you have a welcome-to-the-WHL moment — something that was rough at that time, but can be spun into a learning experience?
"My first game I went into the corner and the forechecker hit me and we both feel and I ended up getting three stitches over my left eye. That was a little shock for me to have that happen."

Given the feminist spin on the Good Men Project, it was only a matter of time before the editors ran an article victim blaming men for the abuse they suffer. One could argue they have done it before. They ran plenty of articles written by Hugo Schwyzer and Jamie Utt that tacitly excuse and deny male victimization. However, I cannot recall anything as pernicious as author Talisa's When Girls Attack.
I will spare readers the extra click and post the entire article here (that way if anyone at GMP grows a conscience and decides to remove the piece they cannot pretend it did not exist): Continue reading

Bladders and Bedwetting
Using the bathroom is an automatic, almost unconscious task; one we take for granted. But urination is actually a complicated process that involves the nerves, muscles, spinal cord and the brain. If everything is not functioning exactly as it is supposed to, problems like incontinence and bedwetting can result, making us realize what an important process it really is.
How the Urinary System Works
The urinary system is made up of two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder and a urethra. According to the National Association for Incontinence (NAFC), the kidneys remove waste products from the blood and continuously produce urine. The muscular, tube-like ureters move urine from the kidneys to the bladder, where it is stored until it flows out of the body through the tube-like urethra.
According to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC), the bladder is made of two types of muscles: the detrusor, which stores urine and squeezes to release urine; and the sphincter, a circular muscle at the bottom of the bladder which contracts to hold urine and relaxes when the detrusor contracts to pass urine into the urethra. The pelvic floor muscles, below the bladder, also help with continence by contracting to keep the urine in the bladder.
How Urinary Delays Affect Continence
When babies are born, their urinary systems are not fully developed. A baby's bladder fills to a set point, then automatically contracts and empties, according to the NKUDIC.
As a child grows, however, the urinary system develops, eventually allowing the bladder to send messages to the brain when it is full. The brain, in turn, sends messages to bladder, signaling it to not release until the child decides he's ready to use the bathroom.
Nighttime incontinence, or enuresis, is considered to be a problem once a child reaches age 5 or 6. From the ages of 5 to 10, according to the NKUDIC, the child's nervous system may not be fully developed to allow proper communication between the brain and bladder, rendering them unable to control when the bladder empties.
"Developmental delays either keep the brain from recognizing that the bladder is full or prevent the bladder's urinary sphincter ... from stopping urination during sleep," says Dr. Amy Pakula, a neurodevelopmental pediatrician and assistant professor of pediatrics at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. "In some children, the arousal-control areas of the brain may also be affected, allowing the child to 'sleep through' a full bladder rather than waking up to urinate."
The body also normally produces an antidiuretic hormone at night, which reduces the amount of urine produced, according Dr. Pakula. "In some children who bedwet, the nighttime level of the antidiuretic hormone does not increase as expected," she says. "When this happens, the amount of urine produced remains the same as during the day, and the bladder continues to fill as much as it would during waking hours." If a child then does not sense the full bladder and does not wake up, he's sure to end up with a wet bed.
Children this age may also have smaller bladders, which are not able to hold as much urine. And in rare cases, according to the NKUDIC, bedwetting may be caused by physical problems in the urinary system, such as a blocked bladder or urethra, which can cause the bladder to overfill and leak, and nerve damage, which can cause constant dribbling. Your physician can rule out any physical problems.
When working on bedwetting, it can be helpful to use absorbent disposable underpants. When kids wake up dry, it can help their self-esteem and prevent the shame caused by wet beds. For parents, absorbent underpants mean less laundry in the morning.
No matter the cause of your child's bedwetting, always remember that it is out of his control. "The misconception about primary nocturnal enuresis is that there's something wrong with the kid, and there's not," says Dr. Frederick Kaskel, professor of pediatrics at Children's Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx, N.Y. "They're normal. They just take a little longer to mature into this fully aware state so the brain can sense that they're getting full."

I shall not embarrass myself any further...
no, I ain't got no Charo CDs or anything like that.
real or fake? hmmm, good question, that requires further research. lucky I can scroll down / use the mouse with one hand. Playboy appearances, well, she was never in Penthouse, this much I KNOW. I will do some more 'ahem' research and let you know, but I do not think so. She was, however, married at age 15 to a 66 year old Spanish bandleader back in Spain, she later claimed it was only so she could get to the U.S. of A. There are disputes over her real age, adding more to the mystique and fascination of all that is 'Charo'
crazy/dumb like a fox -- perhaps, she still made money. That's show Business, with a capital 'B'.
yes, I am a pretty cynical fuck when you get in deep.
love and peace.
(in your best Peter Griffin - Family Guy voice) Schtick is what I got as youngster when I was up late enough to catch Charo on The Tonight Show. Schtick is what Donny Osmond got when he had a kissing scene with Loni Anderson (I heard something about schtick and his sister but that's gross). Schtick is Angelina Jolie in that movie...you know the one about....well, OK, it's just her but you get my point. I mean, you don't get my point but the schtick gets the point. Never mind...
The Dude Abides!
Golden Road must be fucking around with his time resonator again. Damn you, Golden Road!!! (He hasn't been "right" since the Phil show, the other night).
The Dude Abides!
I never knew she was of any real substance (Yuk, yuk - picture me tapping invisible cigar). So you actually have, in your possession, a Charo CD or album? I could go to (if one still existed) a record store and purchase a Charo music conveyance of some type? Did she ever do Playboy? Were "they" real (your opinion will be accepted)?
The Dude Abides!
posts are all out of order...
annoying, sure...
the thing I respect about Charo, she never went into that ever dreaded Hollywood category of
'forgotten but not gone'
one way or another, her schtick kept her fans paying cash to see her in Vegas or elsewhere.
she got her break in LaLa land on Laugh In, the rest is history...
basically, a woman with real musical talent who developed an on camera / on stage shctick that made her millions and millions of dollars.
I could have sworn he did... but since Charo also did a few guest spots on The Love Boat, I've had that show on my brain.
little know LaLa-Land Love Boat FACT: when Donny Osmond did his guest shot, he had a kissing scene with Loni Anderson; Donny KEPT flubbing his lines ON PURPOSE so he could keep kissing her. It IS true!
Who was or is Charo? I remember her from The Tonight Show, as Johnny's guest numerous times and I think The Bong Show but I honestly never knew what she did to be famous, except for her physical attributes, which were negated by her annoying personality, imo.
The Dude Abides!
