24 hot and hiring healthcare jobs
Working within healthcare appeals to our society in a way virtually no other professional sector does. Our attraction to this industry will probably always be well-matched with the necessity to educate and employ more qualified healthcare professionals—especially right now, as a substantial portion of our population is aging and requiring more medical care. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that there will be more employment growth within the healthcare and social assistance sector than in any others this decade. Here's a snapshot of the 24 healthcare professions that we at U.S. News have labelled the best to break into, either this year or in the years to come.

...apparently can be a bit of a pain in the behind, even for a pretty informal get together. I am finding this out first hand as I am in the process of trying to put together a party for a co-worker/friend who retired a few months back. As was usual, when he retired, I figured someone else would arrange for his retirement party. I guess most of those someone else types have all retired by now because despite this guy being well liked around the office, no one put anything together for him. Well, it could also be that moral on my job being at an all time low also had something to do with it. So as it turned out, i figured I would try to arrange a party for him - just something where those who want to attend will meet at a local restaurant/watering hole, and we will split the bill for dinner and drinks. Actually this is not as much a pain in the backside as it is a daunting task for me because I am not that self confident that I am going about it right, but since no one else stepped forward to do it - so what. I know some folks are interested in attending, I already checked on that; and so too is the honoree looking forward to it.
Forging right ahead today, I went to one of a few places I had in mind for the party here in Manhattan. I took a co-worker along and we had lunch there this afternoon. The place is called Giggles and is a restaurant/bar combo. It has a pub like atmosphere, is pretty big with lots of seating, has a lot of variety on the menu, has lots of variety behind the bar, and has fairly reasonable prices for Manhattan, especially in midtown. For lunch I had an everything burger, a huge burger covered with fried onions, mushrooms, bacon and cheddar cheese. It sat on a likewise huge bun. It was accompanied by tomato, raw onion, lettuce, pickle and fries. My pal Bob had a Cesar Salad. We both had sodas for our beverages (no booze because it was lunch on a work day, and booze and my job do not mix).
The waitress who served us was a pretty young lass, and not only that but she was a good waitress too. She was quite attentive. Once our order was in, we were served bread and butter, and our drinks arrived quickly. After a decent wait, pretty much just a short time later, our meals were brought out. I could not believe the size of the burger, it had to be 1/2 pound of beef. besides that, it was cooked just how I had asked for it to be - medium rare. It was a tasty burger indeed, and I washed it down with a tasty beverage too. Bob enjoyed the salad, and he noted that the service had been great. The waitress stopped by a few times to check on us, and was quite pleasant. Before leaving we asked to speak to the manager about arranging for a party, but the manager was not available. I'll have to give them a call early next week after the holiday. I am hopeful I can work some sort of discount out if I can assure them 25 or more people at the retirement dinner, hopefully they will be able to accommodate us on the nights I have in mind. Once I find that out, I will put out the word that the party date and place has been set, and wait to see who responds by or before whatever date Giggles gives to me as the cut off date for making a reservation.
Once that is all set I can only hope those who will have told me they will attend, will actually show up. I guess I can also hope that parking will be none too hard to find, but that is almost always a problem in Manhattan. Of course, I will have to also hope that the retiree shows up! If this comes off nicely, who knows, I may be elected as the office's Grand Poobah of retirement party planning.
If you are ever in NYC, and need a place to have a decent lunch in midtown Manhattan (very close to Times Square (2 blocks away) I recommend this place. Good food, good drink, and great service. I hope it is likewise for you if you ever get the chance to check it out.
All the best,

Purifying the Five Elements of Our Being
Using the Elements to Purify and Rebalance the body
Fire and air are the most commonly used elements to purify the body-mind. Water is also used in some of the cleansing practices of hatha yoga, the shatkarmas, to remove excessive mucous (water) and digestive acid (fire).
Using fire to purify and balance
A balanced sequence of asana that includes some movement and some stillness allows us to regulate fire as well as to harmonize the earth and air elements, two natural enemies. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika states in Chapter 1, Sutra 17, that "Asana gives one steadiness (firmness) of body and mind, lightness (flexibility) of the limbs, and absence of disease." That is, the steadiness of earth and the lightness of air can be alchemically blended through proper use of asana, even though they are natural enemies.
Using air to purify and balance
Certain pranayama techniques can be used to identify where imbalances lie in the elements of the body, and to consciously rebalance these.
One of the best ways of doing this is to learn the natural order of the elements in the body. Earth and water are at the base, below the navel, fire is in the middle of the torso; air and space reside in the upper body. Maintaining awareness of this when we practice asana, pranayama and meditation aids the proper distribution of the energy into the elements. As the prana moves up and down in the body, we awaken certain parts of the body with consciousness and energy, coaxing the elements into balance. Learn the process
The practices of how to balance the 5 elements through pranayama is taught systematically on the double CD entitled "Introduction to Prana and Pranic Healing", available from www.bigshakti.com.
Knowledge of the five elements is the essential to higher yogic and tantric practices. Tattwa Shuddhi, by Swami Satyananda from the Bihar School of Yoga, is a good resource.
Dr. Swami Shankardev is a yogacharya, medical doctor, psychotherapist, author, and lecturer. He lived and studied with his guru, Swami Satyananda, for ten years in India (1974-1985). He lectures all over the world. Contact him at www.bigshakti.com.

For reasons too uninteresting to explain, I have become a fan of Tottenhem Hotspur, a soccer team in Britain's Premier League. (I shall also save my reasons for becoming a soccer fan in general this late in life. I know you could care less.)
Anyway, my Hotspur — What a great nickname, a reason for part of my affection for sure! — stands third in the league, and met leader Manchester City today. The game was on Fox Soccer with an 8:25 am kickoff. Kind of Breakfast at Wimbledon, Winter Edition.
Only the few avid soccer fans who might come across this blog could care about the details. Luckily, I'm not going into many, since my knowledge of the game is most rudimentary. (I would have passed along the observations of the color announcer, but the bloke's Scottish brogue was so thick I simply couldn't understand him.)
I can say the first half was seriously underwhelming. It ended nil-nil. Not that a scoreless game is de facto unexciting. But this one was.
The Baby Blues — that would be Man City — took control, seemingly for good, with a two goals in three minutes outburst just before the sixty minute mark. Nasri tallied at :56. Prescott, just three minutes later.
But Defoe bounced one in after a long kick a minute later for Tottenhem. Which was followed by Gareth Bale's tying mark at :64. From boring and without tally to four goals in less than ten minutes. Boffo.
Tottenhem looked like it might do the improbable, but Defoe was just wide on a possible winner a couple of minutes into extra time.
Then TH's Ledley King fouled Mario Barotelli in the box with less than a minute to play. The Italian tallied.
Man City increased their lead over third place Tottenhem, and held steady against city rival Man United, which also won today, besting Arsenal, 2-1.
It was not the most pleasant beginning to today's triple header.

Harvey Murray Glatman: First of the Signature Killers
Finding Bodies
As Harvey pioneered the field of serial killing, Sergeant Pierce Brooks of the LAPD pioneered the field in a scholastic way, laying the foundation of what would become the study of serial killers. Renowned subject scholar, Dr. Robert D. Keppel, who in his book [Signature Killers] refers to the sergeant as his "mentor," praises the groundwork done by the LAPD cop who, intrigued with what he saw in Glatman, was "one of the first people to talk about catching repetitive killers by examining their behavior at crime scenes".
Better said, Brooks was the first law enforcement officer to recognize how some killers left a reiterating "signature" or "calling card" at the scenes of their crimes. His documentation led to what in time became the FBI's VICAP program, which tracks subtle nuances left behind by such murderers.
On that hot October night, though, Harvey Glatman was the only killer on Brooks' and his fellow officers' minds, for he provided enough of the macabre to keep the cops busy for quite some time.
The night of his arrest, and after he confessed to murdering Dull, Bridgeford and Mercado, Harvey was cuffed and hurried under armed patrol to the San Diego County Courthouse. But, he was not immediately jailed. There was something the detectives wanted him to do first: lead them to where the bodies were abandoned. The DA saw the Glatman case as open and shut but not a sure thing until the killer produced cadavers. Without his victim's remains any reliable defense counsel could paint Harvey as just any other whacko trying to make headlines.
Finding what was left of the three women was a necessity, as gruesome and hard as it sounded and there was no time like now for finding them. In the dark of the night, Harvey was packed away between a couple of detectives in one car and followed by a several police in another, and called upon to serve as navigator. He led the caravan down what had been the last leg of his familiar route from L.A. the San Diego Freeway to Escondido, then east on 78 to the desert and San Vallecito's foothills. Even though the shroud of night, Harvey knew the way like an old tar on habitual waters.
First, he showed them where he had raped and killed Shirley Bridgeford; a tan coat and scattered bones bathed by moonlight proved to the police he wasn't lying. Most of the skeleton had been chewed on or carried away by animals, but certainly there would be enough there for the forensic team to identify Miss Bridgeford.
Leaving a patrolman at the crime scene, the parade moved further down Vallecito Road until Harvey directed them to stop. Scouring the area to which Harvey pointed; the searchers finally came upon a skeleton, almost intact, with tufts of hair still clinging to the skull. "Angela Rojas," Harvey intoned the name he had known her by. But, the detectives knew she was really Ruth Mercado.

Publisher: Memoirs PublishingBinding: PaperbackPages: 100Size: 3.54" wide x 61.42" long x 92.13" tall Weight: 550.000Language: English
The Butterfly's Cage, is the heart wrenching, inspiring true story of a young Pakistani woman's flight to freedom. Suffering familial abuse, tyranny and disownment as a result of refusing to submit to the abuse received by not one but two violent husbands, Shahnaz* opens the doors to a hidden world, illustrating how cultural values can allow human rights violations to prosper and the cost of reputation is integrity, respect and love. Born into a wealthy family with homes in both Britain and Pakistan, she was forced to give up school at the age of 12 in order to care for her younger brothers. There followed two arranged marriages, to a violent, drug addicted, petty criminal and then to a vicious, controlling sadist. Her family ignored her pleas to escape her marital hell, instead casting her as the wicked, immoral daughter whose selfish desires threatened to damage the family's reputation. After years of abuse and intimidation in both England and Pakistan, Shahnaz fled the family homes to try to start a new life in London with her young daughter only to be lured back to Pakistan under false pretences. Stripped of her possessions and kept under house arrest, Shahnaz was in constant fear of her life for a further 18 months, enduring brutal beatings and diabolical threats to her life. Through her intelligence, courage and unwavering fortitude alone, Shahnaz overcame adversity, won her freedom, her family's acceptance and now lives in England with her daughter and third husband, embarking on a career in social care. Six years on, wishing to reveal the pain and suffering that can be caused by misguided cultural attitudes and social values, Shahnaz has written her story. *Shahnaz is not her real name - she does not want herself or her family to be identified

Save Tennent's Bar from Change
Tennent's Bar on Byres Road, Glasgow is under threat of redevelopment by brewery Mitchell & Butler are planning to close it as a real pub and turn it into a restaurant /gastro pub. Sometimes all you want is a pub where everybody knows your name. This is increasingly difficult to find in Glasgow's West End as style bar after wine bar or gastro pub pops up. Thank god then, for Tennents. Okay, maybe not everybody in Tennents knows your name, but you will quickly feel at home in Byres Road's only proper "local pub" where the friendly staff and manager Alison pour pints efficiently with a smile. Whether you want to watch the football on the pub's many television screens or just curl up in the almost as plentiful snug little corners with a newspaper, Tennents offers everything, including an extensive real ale menu and top notch pub grub, including the best steak pie in Glasgow. This is now under serious threat, there will be real pubs left on Byres Road.

Here's what I saw:
1. It's pretty clear Andy put a leash on Vick, ESPECIALLY in the red zone where we saw almost all running plays. Inside the 10 yard line we saw 0 passing plays. I commend the adjustments and Vick for taking better care of the football, but we can't keep kicking FGs when we're that close. The offense only has 1 TD in the past 8 quarters and quite frankly, that's a huge concern due to the top heavy of top ranked defenses in the NFC.
2. In one of my predictions in pre-season I said I thought McCoy was going to have a more pedestrian year, mainly due to not having Peters and a resurgence of other play makers like Jackson. As a runner, he really needs to go N to S and to stop dancing. The difference between 2 and 7 and 2nd and 12 is a big one. He had a nice game overall, but he needs to stop dancing, it's what he did his rookie year, but eventually transcended it last year. Why he reverted back to it is befuddling.
3. Hopefully the O-line gets better as the season continues. It was really really bad in the first half. Props to Vick for not getting flustered and forcing mistakes.
4. Another one of my predictions was that Jackson is going to have a great year. I truly think he is our best WR despite the fact he's way undersized and his entire game is built on speed. What happened to Maclin?
5. One of my last predictions that unfortunately seems to be coming true is that SS was going to be a weak link in this defense. I like Kurt Coleman but he doesn't have the elite athletic ability to make up for mistakes. When he bites on play action, it was an immediate easy pass and catch for the Giants. He's a nice player, but it's a position I would love to upgrade.
6. Nate Allen should be nominated for the pro bowl. He might not because he doesn't have sexy stats. But teams aren't even throwing his way, and the 3 times I saw him targeted he had the play VERY well covered. As I said before, he won't crush anyone, he's no Dawkins, but in a pass happy league, he just needs to cover well. And he does it, very well.
7. Nnamdi continues to get beaten and I don't know if he's not in sync with the safeties or vice versa, but there's blown coverages in multiple games now that are hurting us.
8. The defensive line needs to get more pressure. To be honest, I think Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham are being the most disruptive. They don't have the stats to back it up, but look at the tape, Cox is continually pushing back centers and guards and Graham is using his quickness to force throws. A little disappointed with Trent Cole's and Babin's production so far, especially Babin.
9. I wonder what the Giants saw in the second half that made the offense go from anemic to moving the ball pretty easy. Thankfully DRC made that pick, that's probably the play of the game right there.
10. Lastly, for the life of me I can't put a finger on how good this team really is. They played 2 games where they looked like a JV squad, and then they played two playoff contenders really well. Will the real Eagles please stand up?
Going forward, we need to score more points if we want to make a SB run. Hopefully our defensive line can start catching fire as well and really make this defensive one of the most feared in the league.

This second of three posts, covers Times and Seasons reader Last Lemming's suggestions for Mormon of the Year for the years 1970 through 1989. We already posted on Monday his picks for 1950 through 1969 and on Friday morning we will list his picks for 1990 through 2007. I suspect as these posts get into more familiar and more recent territory, more of you will have comments and suggestions about who Last Lemming suggested and who should have been suggested instead.

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on October 10, 2013 at 5:11 PM.
Twenty-four architecture students from universities around North America were honored in the 13th annual ACSA/AISC Steel Design Student Competition. The program challenges architecture students, working individually or in teams, to explore a variety of design issues related to the use of steel in design and construction. A total of $14,000 in cash prizes was awarded to the winning students and their faculty sponsors.
Students submitted designs in two categories that required steel to be used as the primary structural material and with special emphasis placed on innovation in steel design. The Bridge to Building category challenged students to design a pedestrian bridge that would enrich its location and provide a vital spatial connection, as well as include an ancillary function – a small pavilion – that supports the cause for the crossing.
Philadelphia University students Christopher Garrow, Heather Martin and Kaitlyn Shenk won first place for designing "Stream_Line."
Donald Dunham, one of their faculty sponsors, said of the competition, "Real-world issues require more inclusive and interdisciplinary strategies – strategies that can help craft sustainable real-world solutions. Giving our students real-world frameworks through international and national competition forums allows them to test new knowledge patterns in the most competitive, creative and intellectual environments."
Category II was the open submission design option and permitted students to select a site and building program that included at least one long-span steel structure. Top honors in this category went to Trevor Larsen and Ben Pennell from California Polytechnic State University for designing "Injection," and Byron Marroquin and Sal Vargas for their "Inverted Landscape" design.
About 250 project submissions from more than 1,000 students were received during this year's steel design competition, and nearly 100 faculty members served as student advisers for the competition. In total, 48 universities from across North America took part.
For more information about the competition and to view the complete list of winners and their steel designs, visit www.aisc.org/studentdesign or www.acsa-arch.org/programs-events/compet

Annie's Catalog
This makes me kinda of sad. I've been looking at Clotidle catalogs for years
Oh that's too bad. I too ordered from them over the years and love the catalog. I better keep my last one then. For nostalgia. The new site is not impressive.

Oh that is so sad.

Oh my..here we go again, no job...Sighing allot..
No and very slow they better speed it up. If something takes too long to load I'm gone. Might be cos it's a lot of traffic on the first day.
That is sad. They did a good job and their shipping was fast.
I didn't have any loading problems? -- Edited on 11/14/12 12:01 PM --

Back in the day mail order was the only way you got a lot of the unique notions as Joanns certainly didn't have them. Her and Nancy's Notions were catalogs I waited for whenever they put them out. It's amazing how many sewing supply stores there are now. But the internet is responsible for a lot of them. I used to love browsing through the catalogs. Internet pages aren't quite the same.
"Now if I could afford to buy all that I wanted." Yeah like one of everything in the catalog lol.

This loan move came as a surprise for everyone of us, regardless of those Drogba-esque glimpses in the preseason and the name Lukaku itself, which made us almost certain that he'll begin his journey '' On A Road To Become DD's successor '' this season. But that is long gone now, at least for a year or so.
I personally felt that, if Ba would've been loaned, that could have done very little favor to Lukaku. He would have been sandwiched [ with 'TO either sides].
Anyways, I think there are more than couple of things that played major part in this deal. Well, keeping Martinez's words and mouth watering loan fee aside, it seems somewhat tactical [you can say it logical or hypothetical] move. With World Cup 2014 lurking by and Benteke's tally climbing heights, Lukaku deserved and needed the proper game time. But where??? That was the million dollar question! So, here comes the boy, Kevin Mirallas, the regular starter for Everton and kind of regular for Belgium, who played some part in this deal. The opportunity to link up with the Belgium teammate (unlike in West Brom) for good 60 or 70 minutes or may be more on a regular basis, was surely needed to be grabbed. Though, playing alongside Hazard & Bryune would've been of different taste but GAME TIME, yeah, that's the issue here.
With Mourinho showing good faith on Fernando Torres [same can be said about E'to after some weeks], Lukaku would've risked being a shadow. But some of critics may argue about his chances at Everton with the likes of Jelavic and Kone already there. No matter the name I just wrote above, there are some additional qualities under his belt. His Physique and ball holding capabilities [lets ignore his qualities like dribbling, finishing and heading for now] are couple of steps above his striking counter parts. We know that Everton plays somewhat similar formation to Chelsea, this will also suit Lukaku and help him adjust easily. With the target man Fellaini now a Red, they desperately needed one and they got one. Moreover, with the presence of transformed-Coleman and somewhat lonely Baines, darting down the pitch all the time, Lukaku will be very handy with his physical dominance while holding the ball for others and also exploiting the spaces that'll open up when those full backs drag defenders away from Lukaku's territory.
Overall, I think this is the best platform for him to grow and develop further. The SPECIAL ONE has definitely played a huge part here. But whether Lukaku felt immense disappointment or not, he would have realized [already] that Chelsea will never give up on him and he'll be nourished properly.
You'll be here for a long time Rome!!!

Fairmont announced an agreement with CITITOWER, a joint venture between Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment and KLCC, building on the brand's growing presence in Southeast Asia, Fairmont Kuala Lumpur is set to debut in 2017. The 62-story luxury hotel will offer 750 well-appointed guestrooms along with an executive lounge and Fairmont Gold, the luxury brand's hotel within a hotel offering. Fairmont Kuala Lumpur will also feature six dining outlets, as well as 2,787 square meters (30,000 square feet) of meeting and banquet space and recreational facilities including a swimming pool, health club and spa. Fairmont Kuala Lumpur will be located in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) development, which is home to the iconic PETRONAS Twin Towers, the tallest twin buildings in the world. The project will include the hotel and one high-rise office tower, which will be connected via a six-story retail podium. "Fairmont Kuala Lumpur is an important milestone for both our brand and for FRHI," said Jennifer Fox, president, FRHI International and Fairmont Brand.

Guests will also have easy access to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and various office complexes through a covered walkway. The project is being designed by Pelli Clarke Architects, a group that is associated with many prestigious projects including the PETRONAS Twin Towers and the International Financial Centre in Hong Kong. Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia and the country's financial and cultural center, famed for its multicultural heritage, excellent shopping and diverse dining options. The KLCC development is ideally located close to many of the city's top attractions, including the Suria KLCC, a premier luxury shopping destination that also houses the PETRONAS Art Gallery, the Philharmonic concert hall, and a science center as well as cafes, restaurants and a 12-screen cinema.

We have all heard the news rumblings surrounding the NSA and all of the issues people have with the government being involved in our personal lives over the internet. One question is, will this eventually effect our world in areas outside of just browsing the internet? It already affects our regular Facebook updates and Twitter posts, but could it eventually leak into the world of gaming? We all know that with the birth of the more "media friendly" consoles, which do more then just play games, that something like this was eventually going to come up.
I, personally, would be surprised if this all does not leak into the world of gaming, but how exactly would it affect the way we play? Would they be able to listen in on the conversations had in parties? Will they have the ability to read the messages sent from one user to another? The ability to check your browser history is one that I likely see coming if you use an internet browser on your console. The first two, I agree, seemed quite far-fetched, but it does make you wonder if they have ability to check up on all this other information, and does that really give them the "right" to do it. I would only say that they at least have the ability.
Now, I am hoping that all of these assumptions are in my head and that, ultimately, this will not boil over into the gaming world. Unfortunately, it is quite possible that this is a problem we will have to deal with in the near future. Only time will tell what it will bring.
Do you think they will try to monitor gaming? Let us know in the comments below!

M5 closed overnight tonight near Bristol
A stretch of the M5 near Bristol is to be closed tonight (Saturday) while a footbridge is dismantled.
It will be shut between junctions 17 (Cribbs Causeway) and 16 (Almondsbury) northbound and junctions 15 (Thornbury) and 17 (Cribbs Causeway) southbound from 7pm tonight and 11am tomorrow morning.
The 220 tonne, 50 metre, concrete Pegwell Brake footbridge will be dismantled in two sections using cranes.
The bridge, known locally as the 'Banana Bridge', links Patchway with the village of Over in Almondsbury. A replacement steel bridge will not be in place until the new year.
The work is part of an £88m scheme to improve the area's motorways - cutting congestion and journey times.
The 'Managed motorway' scheme uses a range of innovative technology and operating procedures to actively control traffic flow. Techniques such as varying the speed limits and opening up the hard shoulder to traffic are features to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
The Pegwell Brake footbridge is being replaced because high-sided vehicles cannot fit under the curved ends of the bridge which are above the hard shoulder lanes.
– Paul Unwin, Highways Agency
Dismantling the bridge is a huge engineering feat and the only way that we can do this safely and quickly is by fully closing the motorway in both directions.
We strongly advise that people plan ahead, leaving plenty of time for their journeys and to drive safely via the diversion routes which will be clearly signposted.
M5 Northbound
Traffic travelling North on the M5 wishing to continue beyond junction 17 will be advised by signage prior to junction 18 to exit and join the M49 North. Traffic will then follow the M49 to the M4, take the M4 East to junction 20 and re-join the M5 North. Traffic wishing to exit at M5 junction 16 will take the M4 East to M5 South link road and exit.
Traffic that misses the advanced signage prior to junction 18 will continue North to junction 17 and return South to junction 18, exit, follow signs for Avonmouth (A4), turn at the roundabout, follow signs to join the M49 North and continue as above. Traffic wishing to join the M5 North at junction 17 will also follow this route.
M5 Southbound
Traffic travelling South on the M5 will be diverted at junction 15 onto the M4 West, continue to junction 22, exit and join the M49 South. Dependent on direction of travel, traffic completes the diversion as follows:
· M5 South: Traffic follows signs to join the M5 southbound carriageway at junction 18
· M5 junction 17: Traffic follows signs for Avonmouth (A4), turns at the roundabout, follows signs to join the M5 North, and exits at junction 17
· M5 junction 16: Traffic completes the above route, then from junction 17 follows diversion route signs along Merlin Way followed by Hayes Way, joins the A38 North at Filton and continues to junction 16 of the M5
Traffic wishing to join the M5 South at junction 16 will be diverted South on the A38, turn right onto Hayes Way (before the flyover) then onto Merlin Way and follow diversion route signs to join the M5 South at junction 17.

[QUOTE=Pebbles67;1259904]Yes my husband probably wants and needs validation. The problem is that he gets an idea in his head and then runs with it. He doesn't want to discuss, he wants to dictate and be obeyed. Unfortunately, many times his way of dealing with a problem is more complicated than it needs to be. Take Kevin's last CSE meeting, He acted like a jerk and in the end, if he had done his research earlier, instead of believing everyone in the district is out to get us, we would have known what to ask for and there would have been less of an issue. He has blown up at every meeting for both of our sons for the last 2 years. I'm tired of it.[/QUOTE]
Maybe the stress of having special needs kids is too much for him? Have you ever had counseling or went to a support group for families with these kinds of things?

Well, it looks like Martin Scorsese's passion project "Silence" -- long expected to be his next film -- will have to keep waiting. Another film, which has been in the works for a while, is now on track to shoot later this year.
Deadline reports that Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio will team up for movie number five, "The Wolf Of Wall Street." The project first surfaced in 2007, with Scorsese at the helm and "Boardwalk Empire" and "The Sopranos" scribe Terence Winter penning the script, with DiCaprio in the leading role. But a studio tug-of-war for the project between Warner Bros. and Paramount eventually stalled things, until the fall of 2009 when it was revealed Ridley Scott was circling the director's chair. Then, about a year ago, it was reported that the project was back in the hands of Scorsese who was eyeing it for this next movie after "Hugo Cabret." Indeed, the helmer is now moving forward with the film.
Red Granite Pictures picked up the rights last spring, and it's a pretty cracker jack tale. Based on the memoir by Jordan Belfort and his experiences on the job in the '80s and '90s, "The Wolf of Wall Street" centers on a drug/sex/alcohol addicted New York stockbroker who refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, the corporate banking world and mob infiltration. So yeah, that undoubtedly resonates in today's current economic climate. It should also be noted that Michael Fassbender told the Hollywood Reporter back in January that he had to been talking to Scorsese about a possible film. Was it "The Wolf Of Wall Street"? Maybe a different version of "Silence"? For now, Fassy's calendar is pretty full, making his participation in this project (if that's what it is) a tight squeeze, but we'll see.
Anyway, no distributor is yet on board, but the rights to 'The Wolf' will likely be up for grabs at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The film will shoot in August. No word on what happened with "Silence," but we presume it's on the backburner for now. That picture, a drama centering on 17th century Jesuit priests, is likely much, much harder to finance and maybe scheduling was a concern for proposed stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Benicio Del Toro and Gael Garcia Bernal (though who knows if they are still attached at this point). But as far as runner-up prizes go, we're not complaining.
Watch Belfort explain his misdeeds below on CNBCs "Originals" program:
Rah-al | March 15, 2012 9:00 PM
Haven't we seen this already before in Wallstreet? Same old story different decade: stock brokers are still doing coke, girls, breaking the law and getting rich. Nothing new to add. I think making Silence would be a smarter move.
te | March 15, 2012 4:34 PM
Cackling @ this. Keep trying for that Oscar, Leo, keep trying.
Brad | March 15, 2012 3:47 PM
Belfort is such a tool. He mentioned how Blake friggin' Lively was in the running for a supporting role in this film at a point (I think the role of his wife/girlfriend/mistress?). WTF. Could you imagine Scorsese and Lively working in a film together? No, stranger things haven't happened.
Kemp | March 15, 2012 3:45 PM
As much as I love Scorsese and DiCaprio collaborations (say what you will but Shutter Island is one of Scorsese's best recent efforts- tops Hugo- and a career best performance by DiCaprio), I am anxiously waiting for DiCaprio to begin work on "The Devil in the White City." Does this man not realize what a great project that would be? "Wolf" sounds like a typical DiCaprio film.

This sounds like a cracking film from Scorcese - plus it's revelant in today's world. I'm all for it. Something i'd definetely watch especially if is uses the same tagline as that book, 'I partied like a rock star and lived like a king. But must it be another Scorcese/DiCaprio joint?

Another Scorcese x DiCaprio Joint?
Mark | March 15, 2012 1:32 PM
Michael Fassbender mentioned in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter that he was in talks with Scorsese about a project he couldn't disclose. Ten bucks says it's a supporting role in this.
Robert | March 15, 2012 1:23 PM
Silence isn't getting made. It's sad to read this. Silence was going to be a masterpiece. I can't understand why a film that would take less than $30 million dollars to get made can't get off the group. Scorsese dropped this project like a year ago, now he's back on... I doubt he even gives two shits about this film. I figured if Silence wasn't gonna get done he could of at least did The Irishman.
Nik Grape | March 15, 2012 1:12 PM
Well shit. I was looking forward to the Silence and it keeps getting pushed back and I keep getting more and more frustrated. It all seems like a dream now that will never happen. This Wolf on Wall Street sounds promising though with Leo in another baity Oscar role, at least it's not the Sinatra biopic.

Just three days after the close of St. Peter's Fiesta, Gloucester residents are gearing up for a different type of celebration — the Fishtown Horribles Parade, with the Boulevard concerts and fireworks that accompany it.
The funky parade that featured mostly farmers and animals in costumes in its first years more than 65 years ago, now boasts a line of mostly floats on wheels, but parade coordinator Al Kipp would like to see even more floats.
"It started out as a bunch of farmers parading through the city and now its a full blown production," Kipp said.
Whether entrants are inspired to parade on foot or by way of decorative float, Kipp welcomes everyone to enter and meet at the high school between 3 p.m. and the parade's kick off at 6 p.m.
"I'd like to see more horribles," Kipps said. "I'd like to see more people getting together building floats to put in the parade."
Because construction crews have blocked off part of the school's parking lot due to Newell Stadium construction, parade organizers are insisting that people not try to park at the school. Floats, however, will all line up in the lot beside the school's auto shop. Vehicles still parked in the float area after 2 p.m. will be towed.
"All floats are going to the side of the school. We'll be down there directing everybody, but the main thing is there's absolutely no parking at the high school," Kipp said. "Any construction you've got to do, do most of it at home."
The parade flows down Centennial Avenue over to Western Avenue, then runs up Western, through Tally's Corner and crosses to Rogers Street. The march then curves up Manuel Lewis to Main Street, then runs up Main before hooking a right on Pleasant and a left on Prospect toward Railroad Avenue where it will head back to the high school via Washington Street. Those planning to watch can expect a team of horses, a solo pony, an array of floats.

text: Let me just say, you guys (or gals) who are giving this CD 1 star are no better than people who give it a 5 saying "It rocks!!!" But I think the people who rate it 5 stars are much closer to being right. Below is what I think of this album.Music: 4 starsThe music for the most part is really good. The riffs are every bit as hard to play as any of the Metallica riffs that I can play on guitar, which include "Fight Fire with Fire" and "Ride the Lightnening" and also Slayer's "Angel of Death". I just think they could be more well writen, but are still good most of the time and even flat out amazing every now and then. The riff 2 minutes into "Born in a Casket" is my favorite, and one of the best guitar riffs I've ever heard. This band has talent. The vocals admittedly sound bad, especially in the beginning of "Shredded Humans", but are still decent most of the time, and even truely great sounding at times. Strangely enough, "Shredded Humans" also fetures some of the better sounding vocals on the album. They can really have a hair-raising sound at times. On "Edible Autopsy", when he says"Skinned live…live…live…", it sounds especially creepy.Lyrics: 5 starsWhy 5 stars? Is it because I'm a gore obsessed freak? (no pun intended) No, I'm just open-minded enough to give them credit for being able to write such grotesque, vile lyrics that no one else can come close to. Reading the lyrics made me like them even more. I simply cannot comprehend anything that's more violent and grotesque than their lyrics, and at the same time, their lyrics fit the beat of the songs well and rhyme a lot of the time, maybe most of the time. It was really a mind-blowing experience reading the lyrics of "Mangled" and "Shredded Humans" while the songs were playing. "Mangled" was so damn fast I still got lost the 3rd time through.Closing Comments:The truth is, I did get some satisfaction from the violence, but does anyone think that people listen to Nsync for the music? Well, partly, but it's obviously mostly their good looks. I liked the music before I even bothered reading the lyrics, so I listen to them for both reasons. I like their music, and the violence. But mostly the music. I only gave the lyrics a higher score because I think they have the most talent in that area. I hope this reveiw has been helpful.Overall score: 4.5 stars

For the next five days all anyone's going to want to talk about is the final play of last night's 14-12 win over the Packers. Which is really too bad, because the Seahawks played some damn fine football during the other 59:52 of the game.
For instance: check Football Outsiders' Quick Reads this morning. The Seahawk defense turned Aaron Rodgers into a sub-replacement level quarterback last night. That would be 2011-MVP Aaron Rodgers, he of the "Elite Quarterback" name. Over the past few years the Packers have had one of the most potent offenses in the NFL. The Seahawks held them scoreless for a half and sacked Rodgers eight (!) times. And then, when the Packers got their offense "moving" they were only able to muster up twelve points, including a failed two-point conversion.
Lost in all the hullaballoo over the final call of the game is this: The Seahawks played the Packers pretty even over the course of the night. They got a couple big plays when they needed them. The defense was dominant. At the end of the day someone's got to lose that game, and someone's going to win it. I'm not convinced that the "better" team lost. Any number of other plays could have been the pivotal moment in this game. It just so happens that it all came down to the last play. With a little luck and a little skill the Seahawks ended up with the win.
A lot of folks are going to say the Packers got jobbed. And they did lose out on a critical call (although Matt Erickson makes a pretty convincing argument that the refs got the call right). But one play does not a football game make. And Seahawk fans should feel good about the other 59:52 of this game, because the Seahawks played well enough to earn a victory against a good team.

(WMC-TV) - A huge fire broke out at a Memphis funeral home early Christmas Eve morning. Firefighters fought massive flames on the 1300 block of Florida Street.
Snow Funeral Home has been in South Memphis since 1957 and in a matter of minutes it went from a thriving business to a charred frame.
Six bodies were inside Snow Funeral Home at the time; five of them were in the embalming room and one was in a casket. Firefighters were able to get all six bodies out of the building before they suffered any damage.
According to neighbors, the fire started with a loud explosion.
"We were watching TV and we heard this loud explosion. And at first we didn't think anything of it, we thought it was a gunshot and as my son got up to look out the window he notices that the funeral home was on fire and at that moment we called 911," said Kathy Pride. "It was burning, it was completely burning. I was just hoping it didn't catch anything else on fire."
Fire investigators are checking to see if a floor furnace may have started the fire, but the official cause remains under investigation.

Hello. I just finished a new tool rest and platform for my bench grinder. Its made with cherry plywood, cherry, and maple. I have two t-tracks, each running beneath a wheel of the grinder. I have a tool rest for lathe gouges and a more standard tool rest for chisels, gouges and such. The latter has two platforms, a 5" deep one for plane blades and other large objects, and a thinner 2" deep platform for chisels so that the handles do not get in the way. The angle is adjustable and the maple platforms also can slide in and out. I used ChunkyC's project as inspiration http://lumberjocks.com/projects/51685 . Here are some close up shots disassembled incase anyone whats to make one similar to mine.

This is the second of my Oriole prospect breakdowns. This one is going to focus on bullpen prospects. My main reason for looking at the bullpen prospects is that I know we have a lot of bullpen prospects thanks to Andy MacPhail's decisions to ask for bullpen prospects as throw-ins. Currently only one of them has really developed into a MLB bullpen piece in Kam Mickolio. So now it's time to take a look at who could be the next bullpen pieces coming into the team over the next few years.
Now a word of caution about this breakdown. The minor leagues don't have pitch fx so I can't tell just how good their pitches are. Pitchers tend to try out new pitches while pitching so these tend to get hit up and inflate pitchers hits. However since most relievers tend to focus on two pitches this will be limited. Relievers typically have fewer innings so there is much more variance.
Anyway, sorry about taking so long with the write-up. Things came up. Bad news showed up about a classmate which made baseball seem trivial by comparison.
First up Bob McCrory:
Bob McCrory is a fastball-slider pitcher. He's been called up in 2008 and 2009 so we have some pitch fx data on him. He throws a fastball around 95 mph and a hard slider around 88 mph. Last year he threw a curveball although the movement was inconsistent. This year he's thrown a change-up which has similar movement to his fastball. The change seems to fade to the left a little more than the fastball (but not by much) and has more drop. Both of these are to be expected.
McCrory has had problems with his control at the major league level walking over 11 per 9 innings in 2008 and is currently walking over 7 per 9 innings. However, if given an extended look his walks should lower fairly dramaticly as the past two years his walk rate has been under 5 per 9 innings at triple-A. His strikeout numbers have typically been good only going below 7 this year at triple-A. Unfortunately in the small sample this year, he hasn't been striking enough batters out to survive, although this should rebound to some extent.
This year he has taken a step back exchanging some strikeouts for more control. Unfortunately he's given out more homers than he has ever before. Since he's had a very good groundball rate in the minors (52.4% this year) it's likely he's throwing meatballs down the plate in order to keep his walks down and getting smashed every so often.
I don't see him sticking at the major league level without either learning some control or developing a third pitch (a splitter would be a very good complement for his skills). As a sinker-slider reliever he should do well against righties but get dominated by lefties. Most likely he's triple-A fodder with good stuff but no control as major league players are better at hitting mid-90s heat.
Eddie Gamboa- A starter last year for the rookie level (Aberdeen?) he was moved to the bullpen this year and dominated. Unfortunately a large part of that domination was due to a lot of luck. In two of his three stops this year, Gamboa had a Batted Balls in play of .252 and .235 where the average tends to be near .300. As a groundball pitcher (52%) he should have an average much closer to the .300 than not. Ok, so he's not as good as he appeared this year. How good is he? He's been pretty good. His K-rate has been decent but not great hovering around 8 Ks per 9 at all stops this year including Double-A (very good sign). His control was very good until he hit double-A where it exploded in 12 appearances. This could very well be an adjustment period for him especially if he's been trying out a new pitch. Assuming his control gets better he could very well be in the majors soon, within two years. His walk rate will be the key indicator. He needs to keep it below 5 per 9 preferably in the 3 range to succeed.
He does have a reverse-platoon split dealing with lefties better than righties which suggests a fairly good reportiore (I'd guess he has a change or a cutter). Could be a pretty good reliever but unlikely to be a top set-up man without more strikeouts
Luis Lebron- ummm wow that's a lot of variation. looks like another Sarfate type. He tends to post K-rates over 10 but very high walk rates too. 2008 was a down year for him as he seemed to have lost his mechanics for a bit when he posted walk rates above 10 per 9 innings. His luck has varied year to year with a BABIP over .400 in 2008. This year he's been very lucky with his cumative BABIP of .211. He's a flyball pitcher though so his BABIP should be fairly low. What he's been very good at in his career is limiting the long ball even though he is a flyball pitcher. That's likely unsustainable. He'll likely get a chance to show what he has at the major league level due to his high K rate but he'll likely be our next Dennis Sarfate. He also has a reverse-platoon split doing better against lefties than righties. He's also been with the organization since 2005 so he'll need to graduate to the majors within two years. He has the potential to be a good set-up man but a lot will depend on his walk rate. If he can keep from regressing to his 2008 numbers he should be decent in the pen.
Josh Perrault- I'm not really sure why he's not in the majors right now besides possibly not being on the 40 man list. Maybe he's a soft tosser? He appears to have been signed as a minor league free agent last year and had been decent not great over with the nationals. This year he seemed to have turned it up a notch posting K rates in the 9.20s at Double and Triple-A. His walk rates have been pretty good coming in at 2.03 and 2.53 for double and triple-A respectively. The only bad news is that he's a flyball pitcher so he will give up a good number of homeruns. I expect to see him in the majors next year. Anyway he's off to the AFL. Between that and spring training I'd expect to see some learning but some success as well. If he wasn't heading to winterball I'd expect him to be in the majors right now.
EDIT: It may have to do with a swoon the last two months. In August he posted his highest FIP of the season. This could be some fatigue and probably just some mental exhastion as Norfolk fell out of the post-season race.
Ryohei Tanaka- He's a former Japanese minor leaguer who was picked up by the Orioles this past year. He's got some oddities though. He apparently started playing baseball in June, and I'm not really sure why unless he was finishing up his Japanese minor league season or had visa problems. It appears that he started out in the bullpen and then was moved to starting although that could be wrong. He only spent 13 innings as a reliever but dominated from that position although taht sample is too small to really discuss. As a starter he was below average with a 4.5 FIP according to minorleaguesplits.com (their FIP formula is different from fangraphs). However, a lot of this difference seems to come from lefties, and boy what a difference. His FIP against lefties is over 3 runs higher than against righties! 3 runs! Since he faced almost as many lefties as righties he got rocked as a starter where he couldn't control his severe platoon split.
Here are his lefty/righty splits
So he goes from a dominant pitcher against righties to ...I can't even think of a good comparison. Basically in the majors he'll be restricted to a bullpen role against righties. He seems to have been streched out in order to get him more innings and practice. If he finds a way to make lefties simply good instead of Pujols at the major league level he should be a treat to watch in Baltimore
Also on a sidenote: I looked up Arrieta's stats and he has a low groundball rate. He may be another homer-prone Guthrie. That does not make me too happy.
EDIT: I forgot Jim Miller???
Jim Miller- Has an FIP of 2.87 which is rather impressive even for a reliever. A lot of his success is due to his ability to get infield flies which are caught almost 100% of the time. Unfortunately like a number of Orioles bullpen prospects he's a flyball pitcher. In the majors I would expect a number of his infield flies to diminish in the majors as players have better pitch recognition and better hitting skills. His strikeout rate has fallen this year with only a modest decrease in walks which is a step back. When he's called up to the majors he should be at the very least a decent bullpen cog. I would assume that his first year or so he would play for around a 4.0 ERA. Of course in his limited action in 08 he performed very well with a 1.17 ERA and a 3.39 FIP (fangraphs FIP formula) in limited action.
