The Way the World Ought to Be
I think most of us see and hear things pretty much on a daily basis that we think are wrong with the world. I know I do. Here I share some of my thoughts on the things going on in our world and how things should be instead. Or, in my own opinion… The Way the World Ought to Be.
Why regulation is GOOD for business
A persistent theme these days among the conservative / Republican / Tea Party end of the political spectrum is that regulation is strangling innovation and thus inhibiting business and entrepreneurs.
On the contrary, regulation has been being dismantled at an unprecedented rate for the last 15 years, and we're now starting to really see the devastating effects it's had on the economy. Many banking and finance regulations were wisely put in place following the Great Depression in the 1930's, to ensure the kind of rigged system that caused the economy to collapse back then could not occur again. Well, today we see the greatest degree of income inequality since that time and it is no coincidence. It is because the safeguards that were in place have systematically been stripped away, allowing once again for a new age of robber barons to exert their enormous financial clout to further their own wealth creation at the expense of everyone else. And this all amidst a background of cries of socialism on the part of the current administration. It is true that there is a great redistribution of wealth going on, but it is NOT from the rich to the poor. In a strange, Orwellian way, the true redistribution of wealth is from the lower and middle classes to the very rich.
By now we've all seen on the news how the rich are getting richer, middle class incomes have stagnated or shrunk over the last few decades when adjusted for inflation, and how union power is slowly being decimated. Those are all grand-scale trends that are clear, but the root causes are not always so apparent. I'm currently reading a fascinating book (Griftopia) by Matt Taibbi, an editor at Rolling Stone, who has done a great deal of the painful research (because this stuff is really dry sometimes) and sheds light on what is perhaps intentionally esoteric stuff (because the more confusing it is, the less people are likely to put forth the effort to really understand it).
Here's a great example… Up until just a few years ago, commodities (coffee, corn, oil) were regulated so that only a small percentage of traders were not an actual party to the transaction (that is, either a direct buyer or seller). The small percentage was allowed for good reason… So that brokers could cover the gap when there were no readily available buyers or sellers. Then, Goldman Sachs successfully lobbied congress to remove this restriction and immediately set about hoarding commodities (most notably gasoline) in order to create false scarcity and drive up prices. And of course it was then Goldman Sachs who profited from the increased prices, in the form of the commodities futures contracts it held and the fees and percentages collected from them. And who paid the price? We all did, not only in higher gas prices, but higher prices for everything transported using gasoline, and especially food. It was an engineered transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich, and they use their wealth to only further perpetuate such schemes.
It really started with the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which said deposit banks (like the ones you and I have checking and savings accounts with) could not co-mingle assets with investment banks (like the kinds that drive Wall Street). With that repeal, these banks were now allowed to use your deposits to bet on risky investment vehicles, and worse yet, it gave them a vested interest in pushing their (sometimes worthless) investments on individual investors. The next crushing blow to consumer protection came with the infamous Citizens United ruling in 2010, where the Supreme Court went well beyond the question before them to blow a hole wide open in election finance laws. As such, schemes like the two I've mentioned are only like to worsen, as huge corporations know they can pick and choose who gets elected, and use that influence to hand-write legislation that will further roll back consumer protections and further the looting of the middle class.
You see, without regulation, these monolithic moneyed powerhouses adversely affect all of our lives by driving down wages while simultaneously increasing the prices we pay for everything. And this is the thing that is most damaging to small business owners and entrepreneurs. When the middle class can't afford to buy anything beyond the bare essentials, small businesses go out of business. When small businesses can't afford the cost of gas for delivering their goods, they go out of business. This is why regulation is GOOD for business. The worst part of it all is that we may already be beyond a tipping point, where there is no way back.
The long, long, long history of the Adams family.
My father was long fascinated with tracing our family history, and I know that he spent countless hours, years even, researching both his mother's history and his father's, going all the way back to the 11th century England. Keep in mind, this was before the days of the Internet. He labored the old fashioned way… digging through dusty library books and public records.
I have recently picked up where he left off, although I now have the distinct advantage of crowd-sourcing and online documentation. What I have found is nothing short of astounding! I have been able to trace our family line back 71 generations, dating back to the year 380 BC! There are spots where the dates become sketchy and anything older than 380 BC was clearly getting into the realm of mythology. But I was truly surprised by the extent of data available going back such a long way. I was surprised to find full dates of birth, marriage records, locations of birth and death, etc., sometimes as far back as the 3rd century AD. One thing that was most helpful in my search is the fact that many generations of my lineage traces through the royal family of a small kingdom known as East Anglia, one of twelve such smaller kingdoms that now make up the modern day United Kingdom. Since great importance was placed on inheritance and determining rightful heirs to the throne, I believe this is why extraordinarily complete records are available for this period of time. It's nothing particularly unique to my family. Most of us could turn up royal bloodlines in our family history for the very same reason… these are the records that are best preserved.
I was also able to confirm, like probably most Americans of European descent, exactly who among my ancestors arrived on the Mayflower in 1620, and almost all of my ancestors can be traced back to Massachusetts, following the migration from England and Scotland. More recent history shows how my family made their way to Kentucky and Ohio, where I grew up. There are so many amazing stories, if I were to tell them all, I would have to write many volumes of books. There are major periods dating to the height of Greek society, the Viking invasions of lands that are now northern Europe (Germany, France and England), a long period of stability through the Medieval period that lasted nearly a millennium, and several generations affected by the American Revolution. Having delved so deeply into these many generations makes me feel as if these people are as much a part of my family as are the grandparents I grew up and talked with face to face.
Below are some references of relevance to my family history, and below that is the complete lineage dating back to 380 BC.

Bank of America is the Evil Empire!
You may have heard of the Move Your Money Project (http://moveyourmoneyproject.org/). This is a movement to encourage people to invest in local banks rather than the huge conglomerate banks. There are a lot of good reasons for doing so, but that's really a whole separate post.
I want to tell you about my experience when trying to ditch Bank of America to go exclusively with a local bank. It is a telling experience, and if you've ever needed a reason to never do business with Bank of America again, please read on.
Monday, February 12, 2012
On Monday, February 13th, 2012, I decided it was time to join the Move Your Money effort, and close my accounts with Bank of America in order to go completely local. This included closing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) that I originally had with Countrywide Financial, before it was swallowed by Bank of America. Before my local bank could open a new HELOC, they needed a statement from Bank of America confirming that I'd frozen the account and could not make any more charges against it.
So when I called on February 13th, I experienced what I have come to expect from Bank of America… I was transferred no fewer than 5 times, including once where I was disconnected, so I had to call back. After speaking to one person after another who sounded as if they had no clue what they were doing, I finally spoke to someone who said I would need to send my request in writing and fax it to them. She gave me a fax number, which I promptly used, asking within the fax that they provide me with receipt confirmation and additional confirmation once the request was completed.
They explained that the reason I was transferred so many times was because I had a HELOC and not a mortgage, and that's a different department. And then I got transferred back to the first place, because it was originated from Countrywide, so it was handled by the mortgage department after all. Do they really think any of this matters to the customer? I just want to speak to someone who is able to resolve my issue. The rest is all their own internal organizational mess, which doesn't matter in the least to me, except to the extent that it makes my life difficult!
Here's a condensed recap of that first call:
ME: "Hi, I'm calling to… blah, blah, blah"
Customer Frustration Rep (CFR): "Okay, what's the account number you're calling about?"
CFR: "I'm sorry, that's not an account number. It would be 11 digits long."
ME: "I'm reading it straight off of my account summary screen, logged into your website."
CFR: "Are you sure you're looking at the right number?"
ME: "Well, it's the one that appears right under the label ACCOUNT NUMBER."
CFR: "Hmm, let me put you on hold for a minute."
CFR (more like 5 minutes later): "Sir, okay, that is a Countrywide account, so I'll have to transfer you to that department."
<Call back>
Finally, I get to the last CFR, who seems to be a little more knowledgeable than average and she gives me the fax number where I can send my request in writing.
Wednesday, February 15th, 2012
After two days had passed and I still had not received either a receipt confirmation nor a confirmation that my request was complete, I decided to call to see what I could find out.
Turns out, there wasn't much to tell. The CFR I spoke with didn't see any request to close my HELOC and didn't recognize the fax number I was told to send it to (keep in mind, my fax machine displayed that it was connected to a Bank of America fax). She gave me a different number where I could fax my request, which I did so immediately.
Thursday, February 16th, 2012
Still no confirmation that anyone has even seen my faxed requests, so I try calling again. After the usual gauntlet of ill-informed front-line CFRs, I was escalated to someone named Christie in their "Level 2" escalations. This makes me wonder just how many levels there are! Christie seems to know what she's doing, and she provides me a fax number which she says is right by her desk, so she's sure to get it. She even stays on the phone with me to assure me she has it in her hands. This was starting to feel a little comforting, like I might actually be making some progress. Christie assured me she would personally handle getting my freeze letter arranged and call me back within the hour. That was the last time I ever heard from Christie!
For good measure, I thought I would take a multi-angled approach, and so I went to a local branch of Bank of America to speak with someone face to face about what I needed. When I spoke with a local bank manager there, she looked up my account and said that she saw nothing in "the system" to indicate that I'd requested a freeze, or any statement to that effect. She offered to fill out a form that would take another three business days to process. This seemed pointless, since none of the checkboxes on this form addresses what I was seeking. I then spoke with a VP at that branch about my frustrations, and she seemed genuinely remorseful for what I've experienced so far. Unfortunately, she also seemed equally powerless to do anything to improve it.
Taking a third angle at it, I thought I'd take a stab at using their online chat feature. I knew from my own work experience that such channels are usually staffed with more senior people, and so I may get someone more competent. This is what I got instead:
Thinking they may just be really busy, I tried again… about a dozen times throughout the day… with the same result.
After getting nowhere via chat, nor with Level 2 escalations, I thought I'd try again to go through the local branch. Both the manager and the VP gave me their cards, in case "there is anything we can do to help you in the future." Kinda hard to help if you can't get through. I called (both business cards just list the main branch number, no direct line and no email addresses) only to get a message saying no one at the branch is available to take my call, and then I was transferred back to their national customer service number.
Friday, February 17th, 2012
Having not heard anything back from Christie still, I sent another fax to her direct fax number, reminding her that she owed me a call back. I got no response from that. After giving Christie sufficient time to respond, I then called the main CFR number again, and immediately asked to speak with Escalations. I spoke with someone name Leticia, who gave me yet another fax number where I could send my request (as if I really wanted to start at square one after 5 days of this). She said she'd personally assure me she'd see it through to resolution. I assured Leticia that if she didn't, I would be speaking with her manager, whose name she reluctantly provided. I asked Leticia if there was a direct number I could call, and of course there is not. I never heard back from Leticia!
This morning, I received an email from Bank of America, asking if I would like to take a survey about my recent experience. Why yes, I most certainly would!
Again, trying to approach from all angles hoping one of them would work out, I resorted to going public with my frustrations on Twitter, saying "@BofA_Help Wow, Bank of America is just outrageously infuriating to deal with. No customer commitment, no empowerment, no competence!"
This seemed to get their attention real quick, since I got a response within minutes, asking me for contact information, so that someone could help me. Finally, it feels like I might just be getting somewhere. I spoke with a gentleman named Edgar from "Executive Customer Relations." Edgar seemed knowledgeable and helpful, and genuinely interested. The only thing the previous employees seemed genuinely interested in was getting me off the phone.
Unfortunately, Edgar didn't get back to me until almost the end of the business day and advised me that I would need my local bank to call Bank of America to request a "subordination package." Well, I called my local banker, who informed me that subordination only applies when the existing HELOC will be staying open, not when it's being closed altogether. So I called Edgar back, and by that time, it was after normal business hours. To make matters worse, Monday would be President's Day, so all banks are closed.
Monday, February 20, 2012
President's Day - Sorry, bank is closed. Can't help you!
Tuesday, February 21, 2012
9:30 AM - I emailed Edgar to remind him of my case and to restate that all I need is a simple letter stating that the HELOC has been frozen. That's all. I don't care if it's hand-written on the back of a deposit slip!
10:30 AM - I direct message Edgar on Twitter to see if I can get a response.
11:30 AM - I call Edgar on his direct line, and he tells me that he's still working on it. I re-emphasize how I would REALLY like to get this resolved TODAY.
1:00 PM - I email Edgar directly to see if he has any progress to report.
2:00 PM - Edgar responds to my email saying he's still working on it.
3:00 PM - I respond, thanking him for his effort and again stating that I really want to get this wrapped up today.
4:30 PM - Time for another public Twitter posting: "@BofA_Help Another day coming to a close, and still no resolution from Bank of America! That's 6 business days so far."
4:45 PM - I get a call from Edgar, who says that there is a complicated paperwork process for what I am asking for (this doesn't surprise me at all) and that it won't be until tomorrow that he can get this to me.
So here we are, at the end of 6 days - 12 phone calls, 10 (unsuccessful) attempted chat sessions, 5 faxes, 5 emails, 4 (unsuccessful) attempted phone calls to the local branch, 2 face-to-face contacts, and zero resolution!
To be fair, Edgar is the only person in this whole mess who seems genuinely concerned and who takes ownership of the issue. He's gotten more than his fair share of the mess, thanks in large part to the lack of caring, competence and concern shown by his colleagues. He's unfortunately hampered by the shackles of a large corporation mired in inexcusable gridlock.
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Success at last… and on two fronts at that! Edgar made good on his word and provided the freeze letter today as promised. This was shortly after I visited a different local branch to try that route again. There I spoke with Taylor, who was very helpful and knowledgeable. Ironically, she presented to me the same exact form the other bank manager showed me last week, but Taylor was more accurate in describing what she could do with that. The bank manager I spoke with last week explained that the form is used to freeze the account AFTER it is paid off, even though Bank of Oklahoma needed that statement in order to pay it off, so it seemed like a chicken vs. egg type situation. Thankfully, neither Taylor nor her manager Elizabeth were so quick to throw up their hands with an "Oh, well" sentiment that seems to be so pervasive within Bank of America that I suspect it may be part of the formal training program.
As I was leaving, Elizabeth asked if I felt any better about Bank of America finally being able to resolve this. Yes, I did, but only in the same sense that an action movie hero feels a hard-fought sense of victory only after suffering through an unspeakable onslaught of adversity.
Think I'm the only one suffering? Hardly! Here's what the Twitterverse is saying:
Let me Google that for you.
I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things going on in the world. But I thought for my first post, I'd start with something a bit light-hearted. That is not to say it's not something that seriously bothers me… it does… but in the big picture of things, it is a minor annoyance, rather than a major injustice, which is the stuff that really gets to me.
I recently stumbled across a website that has a simple but universal appeal. That is, when people ask you the most basic of questions, you can then type that very question into www.lmgtfy.com (Let Me Google That For You) and then send the link it generates. In a really fun, snarky way, it will then start an interactive tutorial for the inquirer, showing them how to use Google.
Yes, it's painfully simple, and that's the point. It lets those annoying people know that they are being WAY too lazy by emailing you a question that they could have just as easily Googled themselves.

Iron Patriot Not in Iron Man 3
- Written by Zechs on Friday, June 08 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Previously thought of to be the Iron Patriot, instead the leaked picture is of another Iron Man character. Just who? Click and find out!
We've all seen the pair of leaked photos of "Iron Patriot", but the Latino Review has set the record straight on just who really that is in that suit of armor being in fact War Machine and the actor in the suit is Don Cheadle's stuntman.
Latino Review further has to say on the subject:
The US Government has had their hands on this Stark suit for awhile, and apparently they've decided to make it more patriotic (especially with the nano-technology stuff I hear is going down in China these days, it's important for America to look good, not like 'Iron Man 2?s' bulky grey War Machine).
That's why the set photo of "Iron Patriot" has the War Machine gun on his back, because it's NOT Iron Patriot, it's NOT James Badge Dale, it's NOT Coldblood-7.
The scene they were shooting at the airport in North Carolina (where we once again nabbed some spy photos of the new armor) involves the Vice President and a flight to China. Since the world is a world of super-humans post Avengers, who better to guard the Veep than America's most expensive armor?

Shark and Bake – Not Bizzare
Calling Shark and Bake a fish sandwich is like calling the bikini a swimsuit. Shark and Bake or Bake and Shark as the purist like to say, is a delicacy among tourist and locals at the number one beach in Trinidad, Maracas Bay. Shark and Bake can be a misnomer as it is sometimes served with some other fish fillet instead of shark, and the bake (bread) is always fried, not baked. What makes Shark and Bake a very tasty dish is that both the shark and the bake are deep fried, but only after a firm order is placed by the customer. The hot sandwich is then customized with any combination of over fifteen condiments from garlic sauce to pineapple chunks, but unlike Subway, the new sandwich owner puts the add-ons to his or her liking. Too many condiments contaminate the broth is the old wise saying and Shark and Bake is no exception. The secret to a good Shark and Bake is the garlic, shadon benny (cilantro), and pepper sauces. Almost anything else will take away from a perfect culinary experience. Restraint is the key.
Shark and Bake, like KFC and SPF 90 sun block, is not immune to steep price increases due to the world shortage of corn and a Shark and Bake now cost US$4.00, up from US$2.40 just over a year ago. This has not caused any decline in sales of this prized fish delicacy so a further price increase can be expected once customers remain willing. Shark and Bake is a unique dish to Trinidad and everybody has a favorite vendor at Maracas. Richard's is the most popular and largest vendor at Maracas Bay but Tantie Rita's is the tastiest. Shark and Bake has caused a stir on the Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods but I don't know what is so bizarre about a simple fish sandwich.
Bikini Carnival 2008
Nudity was considered good until it received a bad name from those who were afraid to get naked, even when alone in their mirrorless bedrooms at night.
There are inhibited voices crying for masqueraders to show less of their bodies on Carnival days and trips to the mall. Some are offended by high skin to clothes ratios and think the public display of the human body is immoral and can lead to a breakdown in society. Maybe those who are offended have bodies that can cause societal breakdown and psychological damage. This blog disagrees with the societal breakdown theory and agrees with Bertrand Russell when he said that morality is geographic. What people do is usually a symptom not the cause and what is offensive in one country is a tourist attraction in another.
In Trinidad and Tobago we have grown to accept that Bikini Costumes can be worn by women and some men in street parades on Carnival Monday and Tuesday but those costumes cannot be worn to work or to attend meetings unless asked to do so by ten or more people. Similarly, tight jeans may be worn by females who have the body and agility to accommodate those jeans without overstressing the fabric or the eyes of the observers. Also, the public has no problem with mini skirts being worn by the young and young looking but should not normally be worn while swinging in public parks or during the windy kite season unless the skirt is fitted.
What the high and the mighty, the self-righteous and those with inappropriate bodies must understand is that the World cannot strive without change and sometimes people need to change their drab office outfits and tattered home clothes, and show the World why months of oatmeal for breakfast and squats in the gym are good for the human body and spectators. Immorality is not only geographic but in the minds of those who strive on their need to be offended.
Life on Mars and Halle Berry
Not only was there life on Mars, but also a writer's union strike and canceled TV shows for the next season. Scientist on Earth hoped that life on Mars would have shed more light on the origins of life and male pattern baldness but this did not happen as hardcover copies of Cosmos by Carl Sagan and Rogain were found to be the only bestsellers on Mars for hundreds of years. Life on Mars was dreary and unfair like it was on Earth except that their United States hardly bought anything from their China other than mosquito coils, oyster sauce and rice noodles. Like Earth, Mars had its fair share of corrupt public officials and morons who roamed the planet trying to get votes.
Martians had similar traits to Earthlings and they both often complained about potholes on the roads. Martians also burnt tires so that the smoke signals could alert road officials and low orbiting spacecraft exactly where the road craters were located. On Mars, there were no tsunamis or bubble baths since there was no water due to slack management of the Martian Water Authority. The land prices on Mars shifted uncontrollably because sand storms often shifted land location. There was very little change in red being the favorite color of Mars but on Earth the color concrete became the color of choice and green became an artificial color. Martians did not need passports to travel within their planet and it was only required for entry into the US. The most popular movies on Mars were sci-fi movies where Earthlings were shown to be creatures destroying planet Earth and fellow Earthlings for unbelievable reasons. Martian suicide bombings became a thing of the past on Mars after Martians discovered that Heaven was a place on Earth.
Martians thought that the Earthling String Bikini was too modest since Martians, like Venusians and porn stars, never wore clothes except when under a mosquito or paparazzi attack. Though Martians did not learn anything earth shattering from Earthlings, but they did like Earth beaches of the Caribbean, Halle Berry, and this blog.
The Things We Choose
One reason people choose a particular political party is for the same reason they choose a particular sports team, religion, or Carnival Band. It fills a psychological need. Naturally, nobody goes around telling themselves they are voting for party H or going to the Sunday worship of religion G because it's psychological. That would be unromantic and may even trigger bouts of depression characterized by wild sex on yachts. Humans need to belong to groups with nice sounding names in order to have an identity. It gives people a purpose and their leaders some extra income. Religion, political affiliation, team support, social standing, bra size and vibrator color are some of the more popular groupings. These groupings may be inherited, acquired through a process of intelligent analysis, or simply be as a result of being invited to join because one met the specifications. Some people may even end up belonging to a group by chance, for example, green may have been the only color on sale at the toy store on that lonely night. Despite our best efforts, some groups we are hopelessly stuck with.
Belonging to a group is not the end of it, and finding reasons why a person's selected group is better that the other groups is also necessary. It's no point thinking your selected group is made up of a bunch of wimps and misfits. My chosen group must be able to beat up your chosen group, is what people think. This is where the mudslinging, cutting up of banners, renting of polls, and the spray painting of vibrators in the dead of night comes in. People need to be happy with the thought that their group is the best and the reasons can be illogical and comical. Some groups use fear of other groups to gain and retain support, while others use concerts. One criterion some people use to select a group is the apparent size of the group where biggest means the best. Others use the group's sense of fashion and how well their leader can act while rolling his "r"s. Even people who do not support any religion, political party, or have no social standing belong to unofficial groupings. These would be the people who either think and analyze, or are too lazy to think and analyze.
Choosing a group may be no different to choosing a car color or girl in a bikini. Any one would do since both would provide the same basic functionality regardless of car color or bikini stringiness. The only difference is one particular auto color or one particular type of spandex enclosed shape may look better and impress friends more in the daylight.
It would appear there is no such thing as only choosing wisely and ultimately we choose what makes us happy because Man is ruled by emotion, not logic.

Armond White: Australia's Once-Great Fred Schepisi Goes Off Course
What happened to Fred Schepisi? His newest film, The Eye of the Storm, is such a messed-up family comedy, it seems the work of an unhinged amateur who is both amused by his subject and yet incapable of dealing with it.
Elizabeth Hunter (Charlotte Rampling), a dowager dying in her Australian mansion, is visited by the two middle-aged children she mistreated. Son Basil (Geoffrey Rush) is a scalawag actor in a second-rate traveling troupe, and daughter Dorothy (Judy Davis), now divorced from her blue-blooded European husband, is adrift. Both need money—as well as the motherly affection they never got. The mixed emotions of their death watch parallel Schepisi's mixed approach. The confused structure and listless tone are unlike the stimulating precision of Schepisi's past movies.

North Sea Requiem(2013)
(The fourth book in the Joanne Ross series)
A novel by A D Scott
The fourth gripping, evocative, and lyrical mystery in the acclaimed series that brilliantly evokes the Scottish Highlands of the 1950s. A. D. Scott's extraordinary mystery novels have been called "beautifully written and atmospheric" (Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of Hush Now, Don't You Cry), "a visit with an old friend in front of a fireplace on a cold wintry night" (Suspense Magazine), and "must-reads" (Booklist). In her latest, Scott pits the staff of the Highland Gazette against their greatest adversary yet in a mystery that her fans will relish. When a woman discovers a severed leg in the boot of one of the local hockey player's uniforms, it's a big scoop for the Highland Gazette. But reporter Joanne Ross wants a front page story of her own, and she hopes to find in Mae Bell, an American jazz singer whose husband disappeared in an aircraft accident five years ago and who is searching the Highlands for her husband's colleagues. Things take a very sinister turn when Nurse Urquhart, who discovered the severed limb, suffers a hideous and brutal attack. Even stranger, she was the recipient of letters warning her to keep her nose out of someone's business - letters that Mae Bell and the staff of the Highland Gazette also received. What could it all mean? Unfolding against a gorgeously rendered Scottish countryside, North Sea Requiem captures the mores and issues of another era, especially in Joanne Ross - a woman wrestling with divorce, career, and a boss who wants to be more than just her superior. The result is a poignant, often haunting mix of violence, loss, and redemption in a narrative full of unnerving plot twists and unforgettable characters.

Depending on your generation, the character Annie may be best remembered as a comic strip, a freckle-faced '80s ingenue or a Broadway baby.

The actress, 41, Tweeted a photo of herself in costume – big hoop earrings, a heap of thick chain necklaces (one of them spells out "HBomb"), dark makeup and even darker roots.
"I want you to meet someone," Diaz writes in the caption. "Her name is Ms. Hannigan. She ain't nice and she ain't pretty. #Annie"

The new Annie officially has her nemesis.
Cameron Diaz has signed up to play the cruel orphanage headmistress Miss Hannigan in the upcoming film remake of the musical Annie, Deadline.com reports – the character memorably portrayed by Carol Burnett in the 1982 film.
Diaz will play opposite Quvenzhané Wallis, the 9-year-old Oscar nominee who is set for the role of Annie.

"This is a special dog," she told Ryan Seacrest on the E! red carpet pre-show. "It's renamed after my puppy I have at home – Sandy."

Captain Jan Rader talks about what it's like to sit in her very unique position and the challenge to recruit more women to the field.
Lt. Jan Rader takes a light approach to a lot of things, but one thing she takes very seriously is firefighting.
Jan is a Master Training Officer for the State of West Virginia. That means when it comes to sharing her love, respect and discipline for firefighting she's one of the best.
Firefighters are often our first responders in a variety of emergency situations, providing immediate help in our greatest time of need. But, in our region, that firefighter is often a man.
In Huntington, out of 107 professional firefighters, only one is a woman. Now, Lieutenant Jan Rader is getting a promotion to captain.
For the last twelve years, Jan has made a career of putting out the flames. Now, her latest promotion is actually blazing a trail. Lt. Rader, the only woman on the Huntington Fire Department, is about to be Captain Rader, the first woman promoted to such a rank in West Virginia history!
Jan has the support and even adoration of her fellow firefighters, a status she's worked hard for.
Ironically, Lt. Rader got interested in firefighting while living in the Washington D.C. area. There, she routinely saw women firefighters and took note.
She then moved back home to Huntington, and pursued firefighting where she joined a department with only one other woman. That woman quit only two years later and Jan has carried the torch ever since.

The No. 7 cylinder at the rear gets a 90-degree plug-wire boot, and is the only one that does. Just ahead of that, attached with a self-locking nut, is a plated silver tube which functions as a guide and heat shield for the starter cable. A wiring-harness hanger is attached at the valve-cover bolt. After Scott installs the wiring harness, he bends the hanger closed. Reproduction plug wires are from Lectric Limited and have the correct 1-Q-65 date code and other scripts. Scott has a set of original-issue plugs wires, and, according to him, these reproductions are "…right on the money." You can't see them, but NOS AC 44S spark plugs are installed.
Details at the back of the driver-side cylinder head are harder to get to and often missed, but count just as much as any other details. This four-wire loom keeps plug wires away from potential damage. Its end is dipped in a rubberized coating. Next to it is a braided copper ground strap bolted to the back of the cylinder head and hanging loose for the moment. It'll be bolted to the body once the engine is installed. Failure to connect this ground can result in baffling electrical troubles.
This bracket, which keeps the heater hose off of the hot exhaust manifold and out of the way, is finished in semi-gloss paint and bolted to the front of the passenger-side cylinder head. A hardened-steel bolt with a phosphate finish holds it to the cylinder head. It's overkill for a light-duty bracket. "I've seen different types of bolts used there," says Scott, "but I remember this car always having that bolt there."
Semi-gloss black is the only color you'll need for the power-steering pump, pulley, and brackets. The large bracket behind the pump is bare aluminum. "Bolts are zinc- or phosphate-plated," says Scott, "and they are authentic in all the positions."
Pontiac used a zinc dichromate-plated water-pump pulley. This one is NOS, so it has a factory-correct look. Scott tells us that some restorers have reported power-steering–equipped GTOs with silver zinc-plated pulleys, but he thinks they were west-coast cars. "Judges don't seem to care one way or the other at the GTO Nationals, but I'm sure that the double-groove upper pulley was never black. We've seen some single-groove pulleys without power steering black or silver." "Until '67 or early '68, Pontiac used this style of water pump. On the bottom bolts, particularly the one that's near the water inlet (lower arrow), the threaded hole breaks into the coolant passage, so Pontiac used a stud with sealer in that position. There are two more fasteners on the bottom of the water pump that break into the engine crankcase, so they get a stud with sealer, too. The nuts are self-locking, so when you take a water pump off, often the studs tend to come out, too, and people don't put them back in. This engine has the proper combination of studs and place bolts."
On non-air conditioned cars, the harmonic balancer and all of its fasteners are painted Light Blue, along with the rest of the engine. Air- conditioned cars got a bare pulley. "If the car gets air conditioning, they took the balancer bolt and the entire assembly off and traded it for a hub, pulley, and weights that had no paint whatsoever. But all other cars, whether power steering or non-power steering, get this double-groove balancer that was on the engine when it was painted," advises Scott.
The balancer timing marks get masked prior to painting. There are two marks on the balancer—the first is for 6 degrees BTDC, the second mark is for TDC. "I presume they took a piece of tape and laid it over those marks so that they didn't fill in with paint. We've seen this on original cars and on some of the pictures we've acquired over the years," Scott says.
"We've had a lot of original, low-mileage Pontiacs over the years, and we'd find places on their engines where paint hadn't seen oil or sunlight. Upon our request, a paint store mixed this Light Blue color based on those parts. It's acrylic enamel with a little bit of hardener sprayed from a spray gun. It gets a nice surface to it ,where if things spill on it, it wipes up easily and doesn't stain. In addition to this color, I have'66-'70 Light Blue Metallic and March 15, 1973, through '74 Dark Blue, which is correct for all '73-'74 Super Dutys. If people call me, I can sell them quarts of any of these paints."—Scott Tiemann
My goal is absolute authenticity. Every nut, bolt, and clip, as far as I'm aware, is absolutely on the money.
Pontiac valve covers use four bolts, and are interchangeable. Even so, there is a right way and a wrong way to put them on. On early valve covers, the edges are different—one side is straight, the other is not. The side without the straight line should be installed closest to the carburetors, leaving the most visible edge just above the exhaust manifolds with the straight line.
Trouble occurs when people try to swap ends to put the pentroof to the front on both sides. The pentroof should only be forward on one side, and to the rear on the other side.
We've got a lot more to come next month. Don't miss the next issue of High Performance Pontiac and Part 2 of "Detailing Tiemann's Tri-Power 389."

The flight instructor and student were practicing straight-in autorotations with power recoveries. During the first four autorotations, the student was the primary manipulator of the controls. The student was initiating the flare too high and so the instructor told the student that they would do the next approach together with both of them on the controls. During the flare portion of the ensuing autorotation, the stinger struck the runway surface. The tail rotor then contacted the surface and the helicopter yawed 360 degrees to the right and came to rest approximately 100 feet where the tail rotor struck the runway. The main rotor severed the tail boom. The instructor reported that he believed that the student misinterpreted his instructions to mean that he (the instructor) would be making the primary control inputs, whereas, he had intended for the student to make control inputs to initiate the flare. He planned just to follow through on the controls to guide the student to flare a little lower than on the previous attempts. The flight instructor stated that the accident could have been prevented through 'better communication between student and instructor as to who is responsible for initiating a control input during all phases of flight and especially during critical phases.'
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

I had an idea. So, it's coming to the anniversary of the release date of DH2 - and we're all getting a bit nostalgic and a bit of Post-Potter Depression, yes? So, here's what I thought:
On the day of the 15 of July 2012, we go back in time to pretend that it's the release date of the first film's trailer all over again. Have the hype that it would cause, edits and gifs made from that first trailer. Then, in November, on the day that it was released for the first time (November 16th) back in 2001, we pretend it's released for the first time…again.
Then, we continue this as a tradition every year, so we can relive all the memories, until, in ten years' time, we'll be back at the last film, on its twentieth anniversary.
Please reblog this, and maybe we can pass the message on!
Long live the Harry Potter generation!


text: This volume rejects the notion that Islam's sacred text is error free and cannot be critically evaluated. The study of the Koran must develop and mature. Scholars of Islam are of course familiar with the book's many errors and contradictions, but these inherent flaws have rarely been revealed to a wider public. "The Origins of the Koran" is an attempt to remedy this deficiency by bringing together classic critical essays which raise key issues surrounding Islam's holy book.

R.I.P. Piper (2006-2013)
My beloved Rottweiler and best friend Piper died yesterday morning. She had an aggressive tumor in her right elbow. She coped really well with the effects of the cancer — with the help of amazingly caring veterinarians and pain medications — for more than four months. But over the weekend she had several (mercifully brief) seizures, and by Sunday she had difficulty even standing up and seemed confused and disoriented. I don't know — and I never will know — whether those symptoms were consequences of the cancer, or just the idiopathic seizures that sometimes occur in adult dogs. But it seemed clear yesterday morning that things were not improving.
Her passing was very peaceful. As the sedative took effect and she became sleepy, I stroked her head. I told her that I loved her; I thanked her for being my friend and for bringing me so much happiness; I told her that she would now never be sick or frightened or lonely again. And I told her that we would see each other again one day, and be together forever. Of course, that last promise was mostly to comfort me.
Then the doctor — a grizzled old veterinarian who owns the clinic, and with whom we had had a meet-and-greet appointment just last Wednesday — administered the ketamine injection. As I sat with Piper, still stroking her head while the vet checked her vital signs, I began to realize that the vet herself was crying quietly. For some reason, that made me feel more at peace with my decision to euthanize Piper — less alone in my grief, I suppose.
To be continued…

The effluent release and meteorological data collected by plant licensees and reported to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) are intended to demonstrate compliance with applicable USNRC regulations. These data were not intended to be used for dose reconstruction to support an epidemiologic study. The suitability of this information to support an epidemiologic study depends on the intended use of the dose reconstruction. For example, it might be necessary to obtain hourly or daily data on effluent releases and meteorological conditions at each facility to reconstruct doses to specific individuals living near those facilities. One the other hand, data that are averaged over longer time periods (weeks and months) might be sufficient to obtain rough estimates of annual doses to populations as a function of distance and direction from those facilities. Dose reconstruction is discussed in Chapter 3.
The operation of nuclear plants produces large quantities of radioactive materials (Appendix D). Quantities of radioactive materials are most readily expressed in terms of activity, defined as the rate of radioactive decay of that material. Activity is usually expressed in units of becquerels (abbreviated Bq; 1 Bq = 1 decay per second) or curies (abbreviated Ci; 1 Ci = 3.7 × 1010 [37 billion] decays per second).2 An operating nuclear reactor can contain on the order of 1014 Ci of activity excluding very-short-lived radionuclides (NCRP, 1987). Most of this activity is the result of fission of the reactor fuel (see Appendix D).
A small fraction3 of this activity is typically emitted to the environment each year as a result of normal plant operations. Radioactive effluents are released in airborne and liquid form. They originate from several sources within a nuclear plant:
2 These units are used interchangeably in this chapter, depending on the source of data. In ternational organizations generally use becquerels. Nuclear facility licensees and the regulator generally use curies.
3 As will be shown elsewhere in this chapter (see Figures 2.1 through 2.4), operating nuclear plants currently release a few curies to a few hundred curies of activity per year to the envi ronment. However, some plants emitted several hundred thousand curies of activity per year to the environment in the past.

There is a silent auction so people can bid on the smaller items that get donated, a live auction is used for the higher priced or hard to obtain items that are donated and then there is a Dutch auction, where you buy tickets for a chance to win a big prize or a trip voucher. The winner gets the choice of which prize they would like.
New this year, there will be a 50/50 draw with a guaranteed payout.
Tickets for the fundraiser are still only $15 each and will be available soon at local businesses as well as by calling Catrina to reserve tickets and or tables. Last year was sold out before the event and a lot of tables were reserved ahead of time.
This is the biggest fundraiser the rink does every year and it is done to keep both the hockey and curling rinks open and operational. Many upgrades have been done in the past year, with the most expensive one being replacing compressors, etc., to the ice plant. There was approximately $100,000 done just in that alone.

THURSDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Dogs who accidentally eat
a commercial poison to combat gophers and moles can emit a toxic
gas that can sicken veterinary staff, a new report indicates.
Experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
say such canine gas attacks felled workers at four veterinary
clinics between 2006 and 2011, and such incidents "might be
underreported." All of the workers (and dogs) involved in the four
cases recovered, the report added.
The cases involved zinc phosphide, a "readily available
rodenticide that, on contact with stomach acid and water, produces
phosphine, a highly toxic gas," explained a team led by Rebecca
Tsai, an epidemic intelligence service officer at the CDC. People
who use the rodenticide are typically aiming to rid properties of
burrowing rodents such as gophers or moles, and the products'
instructions say that the pellets should be inserted within the
animals' tunnels or burrows.
However, sometimes users may have simply spread the pellets on
the ground, where dogs could eat them, or "even with correct
application, dogs might be exposed while digging in treated areas
with their paws or by consuming poisoned prey," the CDC team
Once the zinc phosphide is ingested, the dog quickly becomes
sick and owners typically rush them to a vet for care. But the
chemical reacts with stomach acid and water to produce the toxic
gas phosphine.
In one such case in Washington state last year, owners rushed a
"limp," semi-comatose dachshund to a veterinary hospital, where she
vomited into paper towels. A 34-year-old veterinary technician
nearby who breathed in fumes from the vomit "immediately developed
pain and nausea," the report said, but she recovered after 20
Other cases have been more serious. In 2008, a 62-pound dog was
taken to a vet clinic in Michigan after eating three zinc phosphide
pellets. The veterinarian induced vomiting in the dog "in a poorly
ventilated room" and quickly experienced symptoms such as
"respiratory pain, headache, dizziness, chest pain, sore throat and
nausea." Still sick 15 hours later, she went to a local emergency
room and was kept under hospital care overnight. Three other
workers at the same clinic were also sickened; all eventually
Similar events were also reported at vet clinics in Michigan in
2006 and in Iowa in 2007.
The CDC says many other cases might go undetected. "Because
symptoms might only last a few hours and can resolve without
medical treatment, victims might never associate symptoms with
poisoning," the researchers said.
For now, the agency recommends that pet owners use products
containing zinc phosphide as directed or, better yet, try alternate
means of eliminating burrowing rodents such as snap traps. And in
cases where pets are suspected of becoming sick by ingesting the
pellets, veterinarians should always induce vomiting outdoors to
disperse any toxic fumes.
Veterinary staff treating horses with phosphine poisoning have
also become sick, according to the American Veterinary Medical
Association, which issued guidelines this year for vets regarding
phosphine products. Besides rodent bait, these include aluminum
phosphide, an insecticide used to fumigate grains and animal
The findings on dogs were published in the April 27 issue of the
CDC's journal
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Prominent OC Surgeon Drowned After Head Trauma
IRVINE (KTLA) - Autopsy and forensic reports indicate that the prominent Orange County burn-injury surgeon Dr. Marianne Cinat, found in her backyard pool in June, drowned due to blunt-force trauma to her head.
Cinat was the medical director of UC Irvine Regional Burn Center in Orange. When recovered from her pool, she had swelling and scrapes on her forehead, a small cut on her nose, internal bleeding in her front scalp and a small cut on the back of her head. Her respiratory system showed evidence of fresh-water drowning.
Orange County Coroner authorities could not determine whether the trauma Cinat suffered was an accident, a homicide, a suicide or from natural causes.
The Orange County Register reports that while investigators with the Sheriff's Department do not know exactly what happened to Cinat, there is no indication that her death was a suicide or homicide.
Cinat, who was 45 when she died, lived alone in her single-family house in Rossmoor. She was a native of Michigan, was not married and had no children, according to coroner's documents.
Toxicology tests showed Cinat had no drugs in her system, but she did have a 0.11 percent blood alcohol concentration. The legal limit to drive a vehicle in California is .08 percent.
The Sheriff's Department file on Cinat's death remains open, in case new information arises, but for now no resources are being used to investigate it.Copyright © 2014, The Baltimore Sun

416-423-7555 | $10-17 Entress, $7-10 Margaritas
Been here two times before, decided to walk over for a lunch out of the office.
Your first question should be, "how are the margaritas?". Answer: great. I had Pamelita's Pick of the Day (mixed berry and chiles today) and it tasted like a berry smoothie with a hint of chile that lingers in your throat. Friend of mine had The Original and also endorsed it. Not super expensive either with the value in the 14 oz cup with 2oz of tequila ($10.95).
The sangria pitcher we ordered was decent, not overly sweet, but a lot of ice diluted the flavor a bit.
The menu is straightforward Mexican cuisine and well priced. Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, and some traditional dishes like chiles rellenos.
We shared Totopo (nachos with the usual fixings). Lots of goat cheese on top which added richness but the excess liquid from the tomato on the bottom of the plate turned most of the surrounding chips to mush.
I ordered mole on chicken enchiladas for my main. It's rich with a prominent chocolate taste, not much heat or other distinct flavor, but I still enjoyed it. Sides were bland rice and salad.
Friends around me ordered quesadillas and fajitas and didn't have much to say about them. The fish of the day was tilapia and came battered (surprise to us, waiter didn't let us know).
Quick notes on what I've had there before: chicken con pollo (again mole was chocolaty good, sides were basic), guac (fresh, served in stone mortar for effect), tortilla chips (look like they're made in-house, enjoyed them).
Service and Ambience
Took at least 30 minutes for mains to come to the four of us which was too long given the number of the patrons in the place. Our plates weren't cleared very frequently so we used the table beside us as an unloading dock. Lots of wasps out on the patio appreciated it.
Patio itself is quaint but nice. Theres another on the roof of the place as well that gets busy when the after work crowd descends on Baldwin St.
The Reco?
If you're in the area and want to grab drinks and snacks on the patio it's definitely a good spot. It can probably satisfy a craving for Mexican food, but don't expect a ton variety, any real depth of flavour, or stellar service.

Food poisonings up from raw milk, poultry bacteria
Sunday - 4/21/2013, 5:30pm EDT
AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Bacteria commonly linked to raw milk and poultry is causing more and more food poisonings, health officials said Thursday.
Cases of campylobacter grew by 14 percent over the last five years, a government study found.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report was based on foodborne infections in only 10 states -- about 15 percent of the American population. But it is seen as a good indicator of food poisoning trends -- the CDC refers to it as "the nation's annual food safety report card."
Overall, food poisonings held fairly steady in recent years. There were no significant jumps in cases from most other food bugs, including salmonella and E. coli. But campylobacter rose, and last year accounted for more than a third of food poisoning illnesses in those states and about a 10th of the deaths.
Health officials said it's not clear why campylobacter cases have increased, or which food or foods was the source of most of the added illnesses.
The study had another piece of bad news: there were jumps in illness caused by a group of bacteria called vibrio, which are associated with shellfish. There were fewer than 200 vibrio cases reported last year, but that's a 43 percent increase from about five years ago.
The CDC report focused on only nine types of food germs, and counted only cases that were lab confirmed. Investigators tallied about 20,000 such cases and 68 deaths in those 10 states. It compared 2012 statistics to reports in the years 2006 through 2008.
Many illnesses never get reported. The CDC estimates that as many as 48 million Americans get sick from contaminated food each year.

Governor Bob McDonnell's statement on the mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut:
"It is with a heavy heart and the deepest of sympathies that I learned earlier today of the horrific shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those impacted by the events transpiring today, and to the teachers, emergency responders, and all others touched by this tragedy. Unfortunately, Virginia has our own painful memories of the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007. Those memories will never fade, and we continue to grieve for all those lost on that April day. We are all too aware of the impact that events like this can have on a community. If there is anything Virginia can do to assist Governor Malloy and the citizens of Connecticut, we stand ready to do so."
