Cate Blanchett and Christian Bale are the latest actors to sign on to star in Warner Bros.' live action film adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.
The two actors will star alongside Naomie Harris, Tom Hollander, Eddie Marsan and Peter Mullan in the Andy Serkis-directed film.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop: "Bale will voice Bagheera, a fearsome panther, both of whom save Mowgli from the killer tiger Shere Khan (Cumberbatch) and teach him the law of the jungle. Blanchett will voice Kaa, a sinister python who is also a friend to Mowgli, while Hollander will play Tabaqui, the jackal who is an underling of Shere Khan."

I recently read in Stubby the Rocket's column on Tor.com that Doctor Who's companion, Clara, may be moving on at the end of the season. I shan't miss her, but she wasn't used well--and she was so perfect in the Dalek episode where she was introduced! Clara Oswald may be moving on soon...Add a Comment

Recently, a spate of articles appeared surrounding the future of the university press. Many of these, of course, focused on the roles institutional library sales, e-books, and shifting concerns around tenure play in determining the strictures and limitations to be overcome as scholarly publishing moves forward in an increasingly digital age. Last week, Book Business published an profile on what goes on behind the scenes as discussions about these issues shape, abet, and occasionally undermine the relationships between the university press, its supporting institution, its constituents, and the consumers and scholars for whom it markets its books. Including commentary from directors at the University of North Carolina Press, the University of California Press, and Johns Hopkins University Press, the piece also included a conversation with our own director, Garrett Kiely:
From Dan Eldridge's "The State of the University Presses" at Book Business:
Talk to University of Chicago Press director Garrett Kiely, who also sits on the board of the Association of American University Presses (AAUP), and he'll tell you that many of the presses that are struggling today — financially or otherwise — are dealing with the same sort of headaches being suffered by their colleagues in the commercial world. And yet there is one major difference: "The commercial imperative," says Kiely, "has never been a requirement for many of these [university] presses."
Historically, Kiely explains, an understanding has existed between university presses and their affiliated schools that the presses are publishing primarily to disseminate scholarly information. That's a valuable service, you might say, that feeds the public good, regardless of profit. "But at the same time," he adds, "as everything gets tight [regarding] the universities and the amount of money they spend on supporting their presses, those things get looked at very carefully."
As a result, Kiely says, there's an increasingly strong push today to align the interests of a press with its university. At the University of Chicago, for instance, both the institution and its press are well known for their strong sociology offerings. But because more and more library budgets today are going toward the scientific fields, a catalog filled with even the strongest of humanities titles isn't necessarily the best thing for a press' bottom line.
The shift the digital, in particular, was a pivot point for much of Kiely's discussion, which went on to consider some of the more successful—as well as awkward—endeavors embraced by the press as part of a publishing culture blatantly faced with the need to experiment via new modalities in order to meet the interlinked demands of expanding scholarship and changing technology. Today, the formerly comfortable terrain once tackled by academic publishing is ever-changing, and with an increasing rapidity, which as the article asserts, may leave "more questions than answers." As Kiely put it:
"I think the speed with which new ideas can be tested, and either pursued or abandoned is very different than it was five years ago. . . . We've found you can very quickly go down the rabbit hole. And then you start wondering, 'Is there a market for this? Is this really the way we should be going?'"

I loved Absolutely Almost. I think I loved it at least as much as Umbrella Summer. Maybe even a little bit more. I don't know. Time will tell. I don't actually have to choose between the two, right?! I can LOVE two GREAT books by one very talented middle grade author, can't I?!
Albie is the protagonist of Absolutely Almost. His narration gives the book a just right feel. It's a satisfying read about a boy who struggles with meeting expectations: his parents, his grandparents, his teachers, his own. He's never good or great, he's always only almost. Almost good at this or that. Almost ready for this or that. And this oppressive almost gets him down now and then. Not always, mind you. I don't want to give the impression that Albie is sad and depressed and unable to cope with life. Albie is more than capable of having a good time, of enjoying life, of appreciating the world around him.
I really appreciated Graff's characterization. Not only do readers come to love (in some cases I imagine love, love, love) Albie, but, all the characters are well written or well developed. Albie's parents at times seem to be disconnected, out of touch with who their son is, what life is like for him, what he wants, what he needs. But just when I get ready to dismiss them as neglectful or clueless, something would happen that would make me pause and reconsider. Readers also get to know several other characters: his nanny, Calista, his math teacher, Mr. Clifton, and his friend, Betsy. For the record, he does have more than one friend. But Betsy is his new friend, his first friend that he makes at his new school. It is their friendship that is put to the test in the novel. It is his relationship with Betsy that allows for him to progress a bit emotionally. If that makes sense. (So yes, I know that his best-best friend is Erlan. But Erlan has been his friend for as long as he can remember, probably since they were toddlers. He's completely comfortable in that friendship. Their friendship does come into the novel here and there. But for me, it wasn't the most interesting aspect of the novel.)
I loved the setting of Absolutely Almost. I loved how we get to spend time with Albie in school and out of school. I loved how we get to see him in and out of his comfort zone. I loved that we got to see his home life. We got to see for ourselves how he interacts with parents. I love how Albie is able to love his parents even if they don't really make him top priority. Especially his Dad. Albie's need for his Dad's attention, the right kind of attention, can be FELT. Albie held onto hope that one day his Dad would find time to spend with him, that one day his Dad would see him--really see him. There were moments that hope lessened a bit as Albie gave into his emotions-of-the-moment. But Albie's love for his dad always won out at the end. His hope would return.
The writing. I loved it. I did. I think the quality of the writing was amazing. There were chapters that just got to me. Their were paragraphs that just resonated with me. The writing just felt TRUE.
Absolutely, Almost is set in New York City.

Over the River and Through the Woods is the first page in a new sketch book. I need to get better at drawing directly into the computer and I want a non threatening page to sketch on once a day.
Rules: one page a day analogue or digital, only black and white, 15 minutes drawing and 15 minutes writing.
What if?
I am surprised and pleased at how much this looks like a child's drawing. When examining the work of Paul Klee he seems to show no fear in his expression. His images are filled with "What if?" explorations. This is a place where "What if?" can exist.

|Frances McDormand
I've always loved Frances McDormand's work, and admire her as an actress. When she was here during the Venice Film Festival in 2008 to promote Burn After Reading, she was witty, intelligent and funny. This year she will be honored with the Persol Tribute to Visionary Talent Award 2014 on September 1st, and then Olive Kitteridge will have its world premiere here in Venice.
|Frances McDormand
It always surprises my Hollywood friends to learn that the Venice Film Festival is the oldest international film festival in the world. Founded in 1932 by Count Giuseppe Volpi, the first festival brought celebrities flocking to Venice from all around the world. Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Fredric March, Wallace Beery, Norma Shearer, James Cagney, Ronald Colman, Loretta Young, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Vittorio De Sica and Boris Karloff were all on hand to add dazzle to the event.
The first film to be screened in 1932 was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Rouben Mamoulian. Back then, the Venice Film Festival was not yet a competition, but it presented such films as It happened one night by Frank Capra, Grand Hotel by Edmund Goulding, The Champ by King Vidor, Frankenstein by James Whale, Zemlja (Earth) by Aleksandr Dovzenko, Gli uomini che mascalzoni… (What Scoundrels Men Are!) by Mario Camerini and A nous la liberté by René Clair. The audience selected what they liked best: Helen Hayes won favorite actress; Fredric March, favorite actor; best director was the Soviet Nikolaj Ekk for Putjovka v zizn, while the best film was René Clair's A nous la liberté.
By creating a new cinema division within La Biennale, Venice's international art festival, the Venice Film Festival helped to raise cinema to an art form. The official name of the festival is the Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia or the "International Exhibition of Cinematographic Art of the Venice Biennale."
Nowadays the public can attend screenings for the 71st Venice International Film Festival by buying tickets with a click of the mouse. Visit La Biennale's website for the films that are screening, how to by tickets, and everything else you need to know by clicking here.
The 2014 71st Venice International Film Festival runs from August 27, 2014 to September 6, 2014. See you at the movies!

British justice ministers have defended their push to prevent prisoners in England and Wales from having family and friends send them books.
They argue that prisoners can earn the right to buy books through the prison's book selling program through a new "incentives and earned privileges" regime.
The Guardian has more: "Justice ministry officials say lifting the ban on sending in books would undermine the basis of the new regime. The prisons minister, Jeremy Wright, said: 'The notion that we are banning books in prisons is complete nonsense. All prisoners can have up to 12 books in their cells at any one time, and all prisoners have access to the prison library. 'Under the incentives and earned privileges scheme, if prisoners engage with their rehabilitation and comply with the regime, they can have greater access to funds to buy items, including books.'"
Writers have called the move barbaric, stressing the importance of reading as part of a prisoner's rehabilitation.

New York-based artist Brian Dettmer uses old books to create beautiful sculptures. Dettmer uses knives, tweezers and surgical tools to carve up the pages of a book. He does not add or move around content from the book, he only removes items to create new meanings with the page.
Here is more about the book from his artist's statement: "The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. The book's intended function has decreased and the form remains linear in a non-linear world. By altering physical forms of information and shifting preconceived functions, new and unexpected roles emerge."
Dettmer is not alone is using books as a medium for art. Julia Strand and Mike Stillkey also work with old books in their creations.

It's no ordinary illusion. Together with hypnotist Justin Tranz, IKEA let young couples experience their future in a fascinating time travel experiment.
In the experiment, world-renowned hypnotist Justin Tranz put a young couple in deep trance before they're being exposed with potential life-changing events in advance. Guided by Tranz, the young couple embarks on a time journey where different life predictions awaits them – from celebrating a birthday for their imaginary 6-year old daughter, to an odd meeting in the bathroom with the same daughters future boyfriend, years later.
"The everyday is exciting! It's on those seemingly ordinary days life happens and changes. And when it does, so does our home", says Johan Wickmark, Global Catalogue Manager.
Justin Tranz has done well over 6,000 stage shows and is the only hypnotist in history to ever legitimately perform on Broadway. He has helped thousands in their bid to stop smoking, lose weight or attain other personal goals. He has also worked with medical professionals, corporate executives, and athletes in all sports and levels of competition.
With the Time Travel Experiment, IKEA collaborated with Tranz to put the spotlight on events that change how we live and our everyday lives. And in this film becoming parents is portrayed, which is one of the biggest transitions of them all.
"In the new IKEA catalogue you can find solutions for every episode in life", says Johan Wickmark, Global Catalogue Manager.

Director's Corner
We must be committed, at the very least, to do no further harm
Like it? Share it!
Protesters recently showed up at Portland's City Hall waving torches and pitchforks in response to Mayor Charlie Hales' recent crackdown on homeless people. Last summer, the Portland mayor initiated a series of campsite sweeps, and in recent months he's moved to revive legislation aimed at clearing downtown sidewalks of the visibly poor.
"This is not about homelessness," Hales said in Portland's Oregonian. "It's about lawlessness."
"How noble the law, in its majestic equality," said French Nobel Laureate Anatole France in 1894, "that both the rich and poor are equally prohibited from peeing in the streets, sleeping under bridges, and stealing bread!"
I remember when, about a decade ago, activists in San Francisco were enraged over then Mayor Gavin Newsom's program of campsite sweeps. Crews would show up at campsites with little to no warning or apology to destroy and dispose of all that people had left in the world.
The brutality there was veiled by a consistent rhetoric of filth, disease, drug use and criminality. By playing to base emotions of fear and disgust, the city of San Francisco justified the criminalization of survival.
And I thought, "Seattle is different. That won't happen here." And then it did.
When the building cranes started to populate our downtown skyline with the residential high-rise boom of 2007, Mayor Greg Nickels initiated a stealth campaign of campsite sweeps and a "zero-tolerance" policy on urban camping. When advocates pushed back, the city doubled down with even more aggressive action.
A media analysis by a group of academics at the University of Washington found that Seattle officials employed a frame of "filth and contagion" that was widely adopted by the media.
We organized overnight protest encampments at City Hall. We blocked a downtown street with tents and got ourselves arrested. We insisted that if campsite sweeps were held, people should be provided with alternatives, given adequate notice and have belongings returned.
Mayor Nickels mostly ignored us. Push came to shove between downtown interests and homeless folks, and force mostly prevailed over dialogue.
Then homeless people and their allies started a new self-managed encampment in response to the campsite sweeps, and many people supported their efforts. When Mayor Nickels bullied host churches with threats of fines, he provoked a different kind of public disgust.
Nickels' third-place showing in the 2009 re-election primary had numerous causes — a poorly managed Christmas snowstorm chief among them — but in the end, beating up on the poor and vulnerable won Greg Nickels more enemies than friends. To this day, Nickelsville bears his name as a reminder.
Mayor Mike McGinn's administration, with its defining veto of new anti-panhandling legislation, brought a reprieve in Seattle's hot war on the poor, and the detente seems to have held. There is little appetite here for the aggressive prosecution of poverty crime.
Understandings have been built within the ecology of downtown interests, cops, courts and homeless folks and their defenders that respect our common interest in real solutions. We have committed, at the very least, to do no further harm.
But that is not to say that all in latté land is well. There are more homeless than ever: The poor, they keep coming.
Even as the economy improves, those on the bottom are left far behind. This is the radical inequality cold war — a state of rivalry or tension that stops short of open, violent confrontation but produces casualties nonetheless. Ours is now cold while Portland's is hot, but it's all the same war, whether we see it or not.

The Washington state legislature wrapped up its session in Olympia last week, and while we received some additional support, lawmakers are far away from meeting the Supreme Court's mandate to fully fund K-12 education. There are many uncertainties and funding challenges ahead for Bellingham Public Schools and schools around the county and state. The majority of our funding for schools comes from the state, while our local levies make up approximately 30 percent of our budget. We also receive some limited funding from the federal government and have an active Bellingham Public School Foundation.
First the good news for next school year: there were no major cuts in the state's education budget. The governor had framed this session as a "hold steady year," and we're always appreciative to make it through a session without cuts to the services we provide for children and families. Another bright spot is the designation of additional funding for school supplies and materials. This is an important step as we have set an ambitious and public goal to ensure that our students receive an education that covers all class fees, supplies and field trips that are part of the curriculum (this applies to "bell to bell" activities, not necessarily extra-curricular). With state support, achievement of this goal becomes more of a reality. Our strategic plan, The Bellingham Promise, calls upon all of us to ensure that all children are supported and loved. We can accomplish this by providing an equitable distribution of resources and services to ensure excellence for all.
The legislature has also targeted additional dollars to help reduce class size for our highest need elementary schools for kindergarten and first grade levels. Bellingham Public Schools invests in a strong early childhood (prenatal to third grade) program because of its powerful long-term return for our students and community; this is also called out in The Bellingham Promise.
Another change that will impact both our students and staff (though not for a few years) includes an increase in graduation requirements. The legislature decided to raise the number of credits required for graduation to 24 (from 20). The graduating class of 2019 (our current seventh graders) will be the first group of students affected. Meanwhile, beginning with the class of 2015, the culminating project is no longer a state graduation requirement. We are currently discussing what this will mean for our school district as the state previously removed its financial support for the culminating project.
Now for the challenges that lie ahead: when we look at the big picture, the state of Washington is still not fully funding education. This is very concerning for students, Bellingham Public Schools and school districts across the state. Currently, the state is funding only about 63 percent of what we spend. The Washington Supreme Court has ruled this unconstitutional; our constitution says the paramount duty of the state is to fully fund education. The state is obligated to do so by 2017-18 school year, but there is real concern about whether this will happen. According to the Supreme Court, the state has not made substantial progress toward this end.
Unfortunately, lawmakers also failed to agree on a supplemental capital budget this session, which means proposed bills to address classroom capacity issues associated with kindergarten and science labs were not put into law. However, it is encouraging that the capacity issue is now on the legislature's radar.
We're fortunate to live in Bellingham. This community highly values education and continues to provide additional resources for our students. Ideally, the state would show that same level of commitment. Education is a great investment to our community's long-term health, and it's Bellingham Public Schools' mission to care for and respect our students and to prepare them for success in the global community. Our goals, desires and expectations go beyond students - they are also of this community. Thank you for being a part of our collective commitment to support our students, staff and families.
Greg Baker is the superintendent of Bellingham Public Schools.

One of the most explosive debates at The State Capitol this year is over gun rights.
On Tuesday, a group of moms joined the debate.
The Georgia Chapter of Moms took aim at a bill passed last week in the House that would expand gun rights in public places like churches, schools, and government buildings.
They feel the bill is dangerous.
State Representative Mandi Ballinger is a mom herself.
And one week ago, she not only voted for, but spoke out in support of the gun bill, in the name of household protection.
She says the law allows women to better protect themselves.
The bill allows churches and bars to decide if they will allow licensed gun owners, to carry in their buildings.
It also gives schools the opportunity to arm a staff member.
And also lessens the penalty for people caught with a gun on a college campus.

Chris Matthews' New Thrill? Hardball Host Flips and Praises 'Serious,' 'Informed' Bachmann
What is Chris Matthews up to? The MSNBC anchor, who once trashed Michele Bachmann as a "zombie" and a "nutcase," on Tuesday praised the Congresswoman as "poised, informed and serious." Touting Bachmann's performance in Monday's Republican presidential debate, he gushed that the Representative did "great."
The Hardball host, who once battled with Bachmann and wondered if she was "hypnotized," hyped that the debate saw "the emergence of a star." He added, "[Bachmann] was, of course, created here. She came off as...poised, informed and serious. Could she be the candidate that Sarah Palin was supposed to be?"
In an amusing moment, Matthews prefaced a question to Jennifer Donahue of the Huffington Post by proclaiming, "I'm not an active Republican." Regular viewers of MSNBC probably already know that.
A partial transcript of the June 16 segment can be found below:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Maybe the biggest story from last night was not Romney's cool or Pawlenty's retreat, but the emergence of a star, Michele Bachmann. She was, of course, created here. She came off as poised, informed, that's right, Gene, poised, informed and serious. Could she be the candidate that Sarah Palin was supposed to be?
MATTHEWS: Well, there's a woman, person, a friend not afraid of the mainstream media.
MICHAEL STEELE: That's right. She's not.
MATTHEWS: No hiding over in Fox land. First of all, what did you think of her performance last night? Because we all thought she was great.
STEELE: I thought she hit a home run. She came to the table with an agenda and she stuck to it. And you got it right. That battle cry, Obama's a one term president will probably resonate as a theme throughout her campaign. And I think that a lot of the folks in this town who act surprised that, wow, the way she did that. That's Michele. She connecting in way that's genuine. She does bring a little extra to the table and I was struck by the fact a lot of folks didn't take advantage of that opportunity to really carve out their space like she did in a very unique way. I thought the whole thing with Pawlenty and Romney was just talk about anti-climactic. Build this thing up and let it go.
MATTHEWS: And also, I think they're posturing, my hunch is- I'm not an active Republican.
STEELE: I'm working on you, Chris.
MATTHEWS: I know. Jennifer, seems to me the other candidates suffer, they suffered. She wins, in this sense, she benefits. They looked like they were trying to figure out- They handle issues. They're trying to figure where they stand. Romney is proving the ultimate flip-flopper by not flip-flopping on a couple issue, which is really flip-flopping. And the other guys trying to be a tea partier when he isn't. And she is what she is. I've always given her credit for not being, for example, a birther, who plays on cheap shots.

The MSM is going to fall all over MB hoping that praising her will accomplish what they have been trying to do for months - drive Palin out of contention. I hope Bachmann realizes that as soon as that goal is met the media will return to dismissing her as a loose cannon.

Only reason this gutless meat puppet for the DNC would praise a republican is to attempt to sway the primary. Root cause is that Sarah scares them to death. But Michelle will surprise them, I think, if it comes to that.

He thinks his vast audience will take the bait that she is front runner and run away from Romney. They all (MSNBC turds) think that NObama is unbeatable with anyone other than Romney running against him. Its all a shell game. Honestly, how anyone could find fault with her performance is beyond me. She seemed to be the only one truly trying to rally conservatives.

You can bet that the democrats have been out sniffing around for dirt on all Republican candidates. The only reason I can see for a high profile liberal to praise any conservative is they know something. My nasty paranoid mind thinks this will be a plan to build her up and have her eliminate other Republicans. Then drop some sort of bomb.

How could any talk host say anything negative about Bachman and her appearence last night at the debate. She did great!! Although, on the nightly news with lib Williams he had to show a clip of SNL making fun of Bachman.

Any time a liberal member of the MSM (I know, that's a redundant statement) praises a Republican candidate, it can only be because said MSMer thinks that Obama can beat said Republican. Tingles hasn't had a "come to Jesus" moment, nor is her trying to be fair and balanced. He's doing his part to try to pick the GOP candidate for us.
They did it in 2008, and look how well that worked out for everyone...

Bachmann should stay as far away from the MSNBC types as possible. There can be no gain (since their audience is so small and lefty) and only downside. If she makes one flub, the only thing she will get is a 4 minute bit on Saturday Night Live. They will Palinize her immediately. Remember what they did with the state of the union speech and the camera shot?

Want some gluten free boardwalk food to wash down with cotton candy, water ice or ice cream? Try these fries. The stand has sauce and spice options.
Probably a violation but I did not have fries here. I just had the perfect drink on a hot beach day. The fresh squeezed lemonade was awesome
Curley's Fries is a nice stop within your visit to Moreys Piers amusement park. Cheesesteak and curly fries are must the best option with an iced Dr Pepper :)
Fries were very good. They are expensive, but they are great. They are fried in peanut oil, so those with peanut allergies need to know. They do post they fry in peanut oil. Curlys is always busy! Best fries on the Boardwalk
Just across from the hotel we were staying at I noticed long lines every day. On my last day I went over at 11 a.m. when they opened . I must say they had to be some of the best fries I've ever had loved them !
Bought these while waiting on line to get into my favorite pizza place-Sam's. It's pretty cool that Sam's lets you bring them in.
We stopped here for fries one night and they were the best I've had in a long time. I would suggest putting vinegar on them or get the side of cheese.
We also had their lemonade which is very good but they fill the cup with a lot of ice so you aren't getting much for the money.
never had burnt or under-done fries! they're perfect - always!!!! been going here for years and years!!! never a long wait - friendly service! you haven't experienced Wildwood until you've had Curley's Fries!
A dinner visit to WW BW would not be complete with a barrel of delicious curly fries with vinegar and a lemonade. Don't forget to save your cup for a discounted refill every time
These guys know how to cook a spud. Get the cheese on the side for dipping. Also a orangeade and save the cup refills are 2.50

Psychosis seized my mind, grabbed my very soul, shook my very essence and violently took hold.
Overcome with thoughts that twisted in my head, left me torn apart, and wishing I were dead.
Searching for the answers while my thinking was deranged, left us all with scars and everlasting change.
Thrust into a place where everything surreal. I was completely turned around, yet it all seemed so-oh real.
Pregnant now I wasn't, but the joy just wasn't there;
replaced by emptiness and permanent despair.
Akin to automation, every, single, day. You lose touch with your sanity, you slowly slip away.
Reality is yours, it's right in front of you. What's black is black to you, there is nothing they can do.
Truth is how you see it, through your own distorted eyes; you know the only way, is to finally say goodbye.
Urgency abounds, now that the answers clear, love still fills your heart, there is nothing left to fear.
Motherhood is sacred, it's only you that understands. The rest can go to hell, the rest can all be damned.
Still I thought I knew, what black was really black. Slowly began the process, of finding my way back.
Yearning for the void, to be filled within my soul. Yet knowing that I'd live and never 'gain be whole.
Crying every night, for years and years on end, asking for forgiveness, just looking for a friend.
Harshest on yourself, yet there's always some close by, to judge you for your shame, while you close your eyes and cry.
Overcome with thoughts, that had twisted in my head. Had left me torn apart and wishing I were dead.
Slowly opened eyes again as everything got lighter. The thoughts were all less foggy, the colors all were brighter.
I started seeing things, the way I used to see. What once looked like the color black, was now bright white to me.
Searching for the answers, while my thinking was deranged, left us all with scars and everlasting change…
Surviving Postpartum Psychosis and Losing a Piece of Myself…I am Natachia Barlow Ramsey. In 1999 I went undiagnosed with Severe Postpartum Depression with Psychotic Features (Postpartum Psychosis). Not only did I lose my mind; I lost my son.
I was tried for the death of my son, Was found Not Criminally Responsible. I Spent years in the mental health system while fighting for my daughter who'd been taken into DHHS custody. After 13+ years, I finally feel ready to have a voice and speak not only on behalf of myself, but for other women like myself.
I finally feel ready…
Once upon a time…there was a beautiful girl who lived in a magical land where everyone was friendly… huh??… WTH!! Sorry but this is a factual story about deceitful human intentions and poisonous words that destroy life. In 1995, I was allegedly accused for RAPE, while working as a school aide in my old high school. This was a story that hit every major newspaper in New York City and made headlines for more than a week. A 24-year-old woman with a 15-year old? WHAT? OMG!The tale of how I made a runaway "boy" dress like woman, hand cuff him, then performed all sorts of kinky sex acts. The articles written sadistically, mocking my character as a woman, mother and human being. The critics developed hideous rumors about me, which created media frenzy. My physical address and old random pictures of me smiling were posted but maliciously captioned. I became flea in their twisted circus. We live in a society where, people automatically jump the gun and pull the trigger without getting the facts. Being publicly defamed made me realize the closeness I became to devils of darkness.As a result of these false allegations, I lost my job, apartment, most of my friends and I even began to receive mail from inmates in jail. I was taunted by neighbors and given the cold shoulder by everyone I knew. I was also followed a few times walking my daughter to school. Mysterious cars pursued me yelling out profane names. Someone even sent me a series of adult books as a prank.

While growing up, I had always envisioned myself being a normal wife with some fantastic career, a husband making a lot of money so that we could afford a nice home with three bedrooms, roses adorning the yard, two white French poodles and a two or three car garage.
My life turned out to be anything but normal. In 1989, on a beautiful spring day, after months of hospitalization and a violent outburst at a medical center r in Wayne, Michigan, I was transported by ambulance in a strait jacket to a Psychiatric Hospital in Northville, Michigan.
I met with a lawyer a few days after arriving. Anxiously I shook his hand saying, "You've gotta get me out of here. I was brought here against my will. My family would have never signed a petition for me to come to this place."
The lawyer said, "Take it easy," as he gestured toward the chair for me to sit in.
As soon as I sat down, I repeated, "You gotta help me. I gotta get out of…"
From what I've scanned through of other people's stories, I'm not "sick" at all. Of course this is not true because I wouldn't be on this website. My symptoms may not be as severe, but I have "them".
I really don't know where to begin with this, but here goes. Sometime in 1997, I decided to get help for my uncontrollable anger, urges to cry, and feeling of self-worthlessness. The diagnosis was anxiety and depression with episodes of manic disorder. Some medication, a little therapy, and I was cured. I felt differently…to keep probing 17 years later to find Bipolar Disorder.
From the multiple sex partners I've had to the many times I've moved to the too many to count (but I do have an accurate total) jobs I've had in 35 years, while all the while remaining spiritual…I know I needed HELP! I have been actively attending group meetings, and just can't remember to make a one-on-one appointment with a therapist.
My dilemma now is whether to completely pursue disability or disability and advanced education to make my life independently fulfilling and meaningful—-I missed a lot of living in prior years, not knowing how to live.
One of the most important things we've learned about loving and raising a child with pediatric bipolar disorder is that even though we've been working with medical professionals for 6 years there are days nothing seems to work. Our son's emotional level is four years younger than his actual age so if you combine that with the rages and manic episodes it's very difficult for him to make friends. We've never had a weekend away and probably won't have one for a long time because we don't really have anyone who can handle him for more than a day. Does this sound harsh? Probably but this is our reality; welcome to it.

And baby makes seven!
Taylor Hanson and his wife, Natalie, welcomed daughter Wilhelmina Jane on Tuesday, a rep for the rocker confirms to Us Weekly.
Taylor, 29, and Natalie, 28, who wed in June 2002, are already parents to Ezra, 9, Penelope, 7, River, 6, and Viggo, 3.
PHOTOS: Quirkiest baby names ever
This summer, Natalie turned to Nameberry.com readers for help choosing a name for the newest addition to her and Taylor's brood.
"Thinking back on all the children's names has helped give me a fresh perspective in choosing the name for the baby girl we are expecting in the fall," she wrote. "It has helped remind me how the right name seems to come at the right time, and how, no matter how 'perfect' the choice, it will only be a part of all this little person will become."

Congratulations to all the winners of the JewishPress.com raffle at The Event
Prime Minister Sharon is being roundly criticized in his own Likud Party by those who are disenchanted with his policy of "restraint." Indeed, it would now appear that former Prime Minister Netanyahu would win a vote for leadership of the Likud if it were held today. Plainly, there is much frustration with the continuing violence and the failure of Mr. Sharon to bring an end to it.
However, upon reflection we believe the criticism is misplaced. Massive air strikes against Palestinian targets and/or an invasion and reoccupation of Gaza and the Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank at this time would surely trigger the strongest of international condemnations ? including from the United States. And Israel would most certainly face mounting terrorism, both inside and outside of the West Bank.
Yet the Sharon policy has already achieved significant success. There are already signs that the policy of targeting the terrorist decision-makers is leading to desperate-sounding calls from Arafat on down for international protection. One even hears some of the leaders telling their cadres to tone down the violence beyond the so-called "green line" and for a return to rock-throwing. Some are even heard to call for abandoning even rock throwing within the "green line." We don't for a moment think that we have reached a turning point. But it does seem fair to say that the Sharon policy seems to be having an impact while the alternatives do not look all that promising.
Just as importantly, the Sharon policy seems to be resonating well with the Bush administration. To be sure, Secretary of State Powell periodically expresses criticism of this or that Israeli action. But it is significant that both President Bush and Vice President Cheney continue to express a more supportive view of what Mr. Sharon is doing.
To be sure there may come a time when more extreme measures may be warranted. There may come a time when the prospect of stemming the violence through cowing those who give the orders may become too dim. But the point is that by that time Israel can reasonably expect to bring President Bush along with him by continuing to act reasonably under the circumstances ? measured and not precipitously.

Reportedly, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have formed a bloc that seeks to counter Islamist influence in the Middle East.
One wonders how the IDF could be expected to so quickly determine the facts.
And why would the U.S. align itself on these issues with Turkey and Qatar, longtime advocates of Hamas's interests?
Several years ago the city concluded that the metzitzah b'peh procedure created unacceptable risks for newborns in terms of the transmission of neo-natal herpes through contact with a mohel carrying the herpes virus.
"Friends stand together in times of crisis," said Gov. Cuomo.
Hamas has coupled its ideological intolerance of the existence of Israel with numerous terrorist attacks and rocket launchings.
Since nothing is static in warfare, the lesson is clear: Iron Dome must be continuously improved to stay ahead of developments in any rocket technology Hamas and Israel's other enemies might get their hands on.
The IDF pounding continued and it again seemed only a matter of time before Hamas would be forced to accept the Egyptian proposal.

I bought ten of these lights. The spikes have to be glued in if you want them to stay on. The light they give off doesn't come even close to being bright. Just a faint "moon-glow". I suspect that's because the lens is not clear and the led is tiny. They simply are not worth the price. I say that because I have others that are the same price and are very bright.
I bought these from MCM when they had them at a reduced price, (about $2.00 each). Better to wait for that sale again.
Now for the "good": they charge well with little direct sunlight and are fairly solidly made. I use them when we go camping and place one atop each 6X6 shin-height post the forestry used to delineate the roadside perimeter and campsite spurs. Saves me from banging my shins on them in the darkness at night. The soft glow reflects off the white side oft RV and gives a nice glow to it and the footpath. Just be advised that these are not like the solar "Malibu" types.
The lights shine so bright. They were a wonderful addition to my flower bed.

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.

Inquiry needed into Welsh NHS
12:38pm Friday 28th February 2014 in Letters
HIGHLY skilled professionals from one of our top universities have expressed concern at the high mortality rates in Welsh hospitals.
Mark Drayford, Assembly Minister for Health, hit back by saying there is nothing wrong with the Welsh hospitals.
He refused to countenance an independent enquiry. Yet there are many people, including myself, who would love to see an independent enquiry into the state of the NHS in Wales.
Twenty years ago Caerphilly had a consultant-led maternity service second to none in Wales.
Over the years, we gradually lost facilities, including our maternity service at Caerphilly Miners' Hospital, and our A and E Service – a situation mirrored throughout Wales.
We have not got the prospect of seeing most of our consultancy services lodged in fewer and fewer hospitals.
These plans would move our Accident and Emergency Services to Cwmbran, and anybody who needed to travel there to visit loved ones would need to take three different buses to get to the hospital.
So come off it, Mark Drayford. Listen to the people of Wales who know from their own experience that there has been deterioration in the NHS nationwide.
If we are to rebuild our service and regain peoples' confidence we need a top level enquiry into the Welsh NHS Service, and particularly into their much higher than average death rates.

Product review: Blue Coat SG Client shortens WAN waits for mobile users
Blue Coat's WAN-accelerating software client combines solid overall performance gains with excellent reporting, good central management, and a nice price; CIFS file transfers benefit the most, while FTP gets little help
Blue Coat is addressing this limitation in the next release of SG Client, due this spring. (Watch for our follow-up review when the new release ships.) GZip compression is applied across all traffic types to help squeeze data down to further reduce traffic, but in the case of my FTP test (an ISO disk image), there wasn't much room for compression.
Centrally located
Admins centrally define and manage multiple client installations from the Client Manager interface in an SG appliance. Defining an optimization policy requires very few steps. Admins simply list the port numbers they want SG Client to optimize (or ignore, as the case may be) and whether they want to enable CIFS acceleration. The SG management console creates MSI and EXE files suitable for distribution to each remote PC. The installation package contains all of the necessary information to tell the client PC which SG appliance to connect to and which traffic to accelerate.
The SG management console also provides a wealth of statistical information on traffic from all connected SG appliances and SG Clients. I easily viewed traffic based on time period or protocol. The statistical and reporting engine is one of Blue Coat's strong suits, and I like how easy it was to slice and dice the information many different ways. One hitch: There is no way to filter out specific connections for analysis.
The SG Client itself provides nice real-time performance graphs, and it allows users to view the performance increase as well as enable/disable the client and clear the disk cache. Users can also see connection status and exactly which traffic is being optimized -- very cool.
Overall, SG Client is a solid first step toward providing mobile and branch office users with a way to participate in faster WAN access to corporate resources. Although it didn't set any performance records, and FTP optimizations await the next release, SG Client didn't disappoint when working with CIFS traffic. Blue Coat's excellent reporting and central management will make life easier for busy WAN admins. Finally, considering the affordability of Blue Coat's appliances and the fact that the SG Client is free, the Blue Coat solution promises to be easier on the budget than many competing solutions.
