Jill Fischer
Psychologist, PsyD
"The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is not an easy one. If you've never been in therapy before, you likely have no idea what to expect, and you may worry that you'll be judged, criticized, or labeled as "crazy." If you have been to therapy before, the thought of "starting all over" with someone new can also be overwhelming, especially if your previous experiences haven't been very helpful. Whether you're a therapy veteran or a newbie, I believe I can help.

Bryan S Bass-Riley
Counselor, MDiv, MS, LPC
"Bryan believes that psychotherapy is a journey that therapist and client embark upon together. Like most journeys, there are twists and turns, hills to climb, detours, and one way streets. And like most good journeys, the trip is often as important as the destination. Often on this journey, clients will discover that their destination changes from their original plan...this is part of the adventure! Bryan approaches therapy from a position of profound respect for his clients, their stories, values, and beliefs. As stories, values, and beliefs unfold, clients learn new ways of understanding and living them going forward.

Tonight while smanettavo a bit of Sid, the strangest thing happened to me, all of a sudden I do not know how and why, not
I was able to get root privileges. The error in the terminal was as follows:
(Gedit: 4397): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~ / .gnome2 directory: No such file or directory
Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2/ ': No such file or directory
After a bit of shaking I was able to understand and solve the problem, which was given by a change (I do not know how
occurred) in / etc / passwd file, where the root is located at / home / root instead of / root. At this point I could only give one:
nano / etc / passwd
and line dedicated to root delete the entry / home. I hope it's useful to someone. EnjoiTags: Gnu-Linux , Sid , Tips & Tricks

Google asks DOJ and FBI for permission to disclose details of NSA spyingSubmitted by independent_thought on Wed, 06/12/2013 - 04:51
Major Internet companies are urging the Obama administration to give them permission to disclose more details about national security requests for their users' data.
Google sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller on Monday, arguing that the information would prove that the company is not turning over massive batches of its users' sensitive personal data to the government.
"Google's numbers would clearly show that our compliance with these requests falls far short of the claims being made. Google has nothing to hide," Google Chief Legal Officer David Drummond wrote in the letter.

Too bad the government has all that sensitive information vacuumed up already.

Silicon Valley techs ALL have carefully laid out a Plausable Deniability posture LONG ago... carefully crafted by the NSA (of course).
The 'access' to their servers is NOT out in the 'open'... by permission.
Of course not... that WOULD be stupid.
It's in the accessing/management HARDWARE they use, as disclosed by Binney.
Congressional Oversight is not privy to top secret classified information, and google, etc. want permission to disclose.
The sheep will accept the effort/apology and go on the way that they do.

Campbell Reports First-Quarter Results
First-Quarter Adjusted Net Earnings per Share Increased 7 Percent to $0.88
First-Quarter Sales Rose 8 Percent to $2.336 Billion
Fiscal 2013 Guidance Confirmed
CAMDEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2012-- Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) today reported its results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
First-Quarter Overview
•Reported Sales Increased 8 Percent; Organic Sales Increased 1 Percent
•Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) Increased 5 Percent, 2 Percent Excluding the Acquisition of Bolthouse Farms
•U.S. Simple Meals Sales Grew 3 Percent, With Soup Sales Up 2 Percent; Earnings Increased 5 Percent
•U.S. Beverages Sales Declined 5 Percent; Earnings Comparable To a Year Ago
•Campbell Completed the Acquisition of Bolthouse Farms on Aug. 6, 2012
•Campbell Recorded Charges Related To the Previously Announced Sept. 2012 Restructuring Program
Net earnings for the quarter ended Oct. 28, 2012, were $245 million, or $0.78 per share, compared with $265 million, or $0.82 per share, in the prior year. The current quarter's reported net earnings included transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, as well as charges associated with the Sept. 2012 restructuring program. Excluding these items impacting comparability, adjusted net earnings increased 5 percent to $279 million, and adjusted net earnings per share increased 7 percent to $0.88 in the current quarter. A detailed reconciliation of the reported financial information to the adjusted information is included at the end of this news release.
Denise Morrison, Campbell's President and Chief Executive Officer, said,"We are encouraged by our performance in the first quarter and feel good about the progress we've made in executing our three growth strategies.
"In our largest business, U.S. Simple Meals, we generated sales growth both in U.S. Soup and in U.S. Sauces, driven by innovation in our base business and by new product introductions. Our recently acquired Bolthouse Farms business performed very well in the quarter, and we remain excited about the growth platform it provides Campbell in the packaged fresh foods category. We delivered continued solid performance at Pepperidge Farm in the crackers business, while our bakery business declined in the quarter. Our Asia Pacific business delivered good results, driven by improved performance in Australia and strong sales growth in Malaysia and Indonesia. In U.S. Beverages, our core business in original 'V8' vegetable juice and 'V8 V-Fusion' beverages continued to be challenged by slackening consumer demand."
Morrison concluded, "Overall, our fiscal year 2013 is off to a solid start. We remain focused on returning our company to sustainable, profitable net sales growth. We know we have more work to do to change Campbell's growth trajectory and achieve our long-term targets on our base business."
Campbell Confirms Fiscal 2013 Guidance
The company confirmed its previous fiscal 2013 guidance. Campbell expects to grow sales between 10 and 12 percent, adjusted EBIT between 4 and 6 percent and adjusted EPS between 3 and 5 percent. The company expects adjusted EPS to be between $2.51 and $2.57. This guidance includes the estimated impact of the Bolthouse Farms business and excludes the impact of acquisition transaction costs and restructuring charges. In fiscal 2013, Campbell expects Bolthouse Farms to contribute approximately $750 million to sales and add $0.05 to $0.07 to adjusted EPS, including the impact of the suspension of Campbell's strategic share repurchase program.
Restructuring Program
On Sept. 27, 2012, Campbell announced a program to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network. This initiative includes plans to close the company's South Plainfield spice plant by March 2013 and its Sacramento plant by July 2013. In the aggregate, the company expects to incur pre-tax costs of approximately $115 million, most of which will be incurred in fiscal 2013. In the first quarter, Campbell recorded pre-tax costs of $43 million, $27 million after tax or $0.09 per share, related to these initiatives.
First-Quarter Results
For the first quarter, sales increased 8 percent to $2.336 billion. The increase in sales for the quarter reflected the following factors:
• The acquisition of Bolthouse Farms added 8 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 2 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent
• Currency subtracted 1 percent
First-Quarter Financial Details
• Gross margin was 37.0 percent compared with 39.5 percent a year ago. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted gross margin in the current quarter was 37.9 percent. The decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, which operates with a lower gross margin structure.
• Marketing and selling expenses decreased 3 percent to $254 million compared with $261 million in the prior year. Consistent with the company's plans, the decline was primarily due to reductions in advertising and consumer promotion expenses in the U.S. Soup business, partly offset by the impact of the addition of Bolthouse Farms expenses.
• Administrative expenses increased $17 million to $162 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms and higher compensation and benefit costs, including pension expenses.
• EBIT was $385 million compared with $416 million in the prior-year quarter. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EBIT increased 5 percent to $438 million. Excluding the impact of the Bolthouse Farms acquisition, adjusted EBIT increased 2 percent, primarily driven by lower advertising and consumer promotion expense in the U.S. Soup business, partly offset by higher administrative expenses.
• The tax rate in the quarter was 31.0 percent compared with 32.2 percent in the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability, the adjusted tax rate was 31.6 percent. The decrease reflected the favorable settlement of a U.S. state tax matter.
• Net interest expense increased $5 million to $33 million, reflecting a higher debt level due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, partially offset by lower rates on the company's debt.
• Adjusted net earnings for the quarter increased 5 percent to $279 million. Adjusted net earnings per share were $0.88 in the current quarter compared with net earnings per share of $0.82 in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 7 percent. Earnings per share benefitted from fewer shares outstanding, reflecting the impact of the company's share repurchase program in prior quarters.
• Cash flow from operations was $81 million compared with $73 million in the prior year.
• Net debt rose to $4.086 billion, an increase of $1.382 billion, primarily due to funding the $1.570 billion purchase of Bolthouse Farms.
Summary of Fiscal 2013 First-Quarter Results by Segment
U.S. Simple Meals
Sales for U.S. Simple Meals were $896 million for the first quarter, an increase of 3 percent compared with the year-ago period. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:
• Volume and mix added 1 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 2 percent
U.S. Soup sales increased 2 percent compared to the year-ago quarter.
• Sales of "Campbell's" condensed soups decreased 1 percent, as declines in eating varieties were partially offset by gains in cooking varieties.
• Sales of ready-to-serve soups increased 4 percent. Volume-driven gains in "Campbell's Chunky" canned soups were partially offset by declines in microwavable soups. "Campbell's Go" soups, launched in the quarter, also contributed to sales growth.
• Broth sales rose 9 percent, primarily due to volume-driven gains in both aseptically packaged and canned broths.
U.S. Sauces sales increased 4 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The growth was primarily driven by strong gains in "Prego" pasta sauces, the launch of "Campbell's" Skillet Sauces and growth in "Pace" Mexican sauces. Sales of gravy declined.
U.S. Simple Meals operating earnings increased 5 percent to $274 million compared with $260 million in the prior-year period. The increase in operating earnings was driven by earnings gains in U.S. Soup, partly offset by a decline in U.S. Sauces. For the segment, benefits from productivity improvements; higher selling prices net of related volume impacts; and lower marketing expenses were partly offset by cost inflation.
Global Baking and Snacking
Sales for Global Baking and Snacking were $574 million for the first quarter, an increase of 1 percent from a year ago. The change in sales reflected the following factors:
• Volume and mix added 2 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 2 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 3 percent
Further details of sales results included the following:
• Sales of "Pepperidge Farm" products increased, driven by volume gains and higher selling prices, partially offset by increased promotional spending. ◦ In cookies and crackers, sales increases were driven by solid gains in "Goldfish" snack crackers and the launch of "Jingos!," partly offset by declines in cookies.
◦ Bakery sales declined. Bakery sales were negatively impacted by increased promotional spending in response to competitive activity.
• Sales at Arnott's increased primarily due to double-digit gains in Indonesia. Sales in Australia were comparable to the prior year.
Operating earnings for the quarter were $85 million compared with $88 million in the prior year, reflecting lower earnings in Arnott's and Pepperidge Farm. Both businesses were negatively impacted by increased promotional spending.
International Simple Meals and Beverages
Sales for International Simple Meals and Beverages were $354 million for the first quarter, a decrease of 1 percent. Organic sales increased 2 percent. The change in sales reflected the following factors:
• Volume and mix subtracted 1 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 3 percent
• Currency subtracted 3 percent
Excluding the impact of currency, higher sales in the Asia Pacific region, Latin America and Canada were partially offset by declines in Europe.
• In Canada, higher selling prices contributed to sales growth.
• In Europe, sales declines in Germany were partially offset by gains in France.
• In the Asia Pacific region, sales increased due to strong growth in Japan and Malaysia.
Operating earnings were $47 million compared with $43 million in the year-ago period. The increase in operating earnings was primarily driven by higher organic sales and an increase in gross margin percentage.
U.S. Beverages
Sales for U.S. Beverages were $189 million for the first quarter, a decrease of 5 percent compared to the year-ago period. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:
• Volume and mix subtracted 4 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent
The decrease in sales was due to declines in "V8" vegetable juice and "V8 V-Fusion" beverages, partially offset by an increase in "V8 Splash" beverages.
Operating earnings for the quarter were $30 million, comparable to the prior year. The impact of lower volume was offset by lower advertising and consumer promotion expenses.
Bolthouse and Foodservice
The balance of the portfolio includes the Bolthouse Farms business, which was acquired on Aug. 6, 2012, and the North America Foodservice business.
Sales were $323 million for the first quarter, with the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms contributing $171 million. Organic sales in North America Foodservice declined 6 percent compared with a year ago. A breakdown of the change in organic sales follows:
• Volume and mix subtracted 3 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 3 percent
North America Foodservice sales decreased primarily due to declines in frozen and canned soup sales, partially offset by volume-driven gains in fresh chilled soup sold at retail.
Operating earnings increased by $7 million to $34 million driven by the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, partially offset by lower earnings in North America Foodservice.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses for the quarter were $63 million compared with $30 million a year ago. The current quarter included $21 million of restructuring-related costs and $10 million of transaction costs related to the Bolthouse Farms acquisition.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"For he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant." Luke 1:48a (NIV)
"When God is mindful of you, he notices everything in your life."
No one cares more about your life than God. No man, no woman, not even you. That's why God's destiny is always the best. God loves you perfectly and he is always thinking about you and thinking about what is best for you.
"Give God all your worries and all your cares for he is always thinking about you watching everything that concerns you" (1 Peter 5:7). Whatever concerns you, concerns God. Whatever you're worried about, whatever you're afraid of, whatever keeps you up at night, whatever gets your attention, gets God's attention. No one will care more about your life, so why not give him your life to care about?
Mary could say yes to God's plan for her life because she knew God was looking out for her and was always thinking about her. That's why she could sing praises to him and say, "for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant" (Luke 1:48a NIV).
What does it mean that God is mindful of you? It means he's alert, he's focused, he's paying attention. When God is mindful of you, he notices everything in your life. Matthew 10:19-30 says not even a sparrow can fall to the ground without God noticing. He even numbers every hair on your head. That's how close God pays attention to you.
That's why it's worth going God's way rather than your way. Accepting God's destiny for your life is the best plan.
Do you ever feel tired, drained or "beat-up" and just don't know why? That's because every day you're fighting an unseen spiritual war. You can't see it, but its effects are very real. In his 7 session Study Kit "The Invisible War: Winning the Battle of Temptation," Pastor Rick will teach you how to overcome the three predictable types of temptations that Satan uses to entice and defeat you: Passion, Possession, and Position.
Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God's Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

The UK remains the only country in the world to have a comprehensive, free-at-the-point-of-use cessation services and the study suggests that these services do provide effective support for smokers who want to quit. However, a number of important research questions remain regarding the effectiveness of different forms of intervention offered by the services.
For example, because gender, ethnicity, class, age and level of dependency affect success in giving up smoking, tailored interventions may help to improve cessation rates. In the case of pregnant women, two reviews of NHS smoking cessation services provide evidence that the most effective treatment for pregnant smokers includes elements such as systematic training of midwives in how to refer pregnant smokers, flexible home visits, and providing intensive multi-session treatments delivered by a small number of dedicated staff.
The research team concluded that NHS stop smoking services have made a contribution to reducing inequalities in smoking prevalence. To achieve government targets will require both the development of more innovative cessation interventions for some specific groups of smokers and recognition that tobacco control policy will need to take account of the unique challenges these groups face when trying to quit smoking.

The winners of the 2011 Oscars were finally revealed yesterday amidst the usual pomp and ceremony that we are accustomed to, and I have to say, it was a pretty good night for Britain.
Visual Effects Benefit from New Rules at the Oscars
No doubt you'll all be looking forward to the Oscars this weekend. It's particularly significant if you're a VFX fan, with five nominees in the Visual Effects category this year rather than three.
Escapee Ricardo Viana Gives us the Low Down on our Online Mentored Course
Want to know what it's like to do one of our Mentored courses? Well we caught up with Escapee Ricardo Viana to find out how he got on – all the way from sunny Portugal.
VFX wins at the BAFTAs
I don't think anyone was too surprised by last night's BAFTAs. Personally, I was really pleased to see Inception win the Special Visual Effects award. With the hardware becoming more powerful, the software more sophisticated and the work ever more creative, as an industry the bar is set incredibly high, and it's always great to see how people are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. It's even more impressive when you consider who else was nominated.
HeyUGuys speaks to Union VFX's Special Effects Guru, Tim Caplan
Have you seen the interview with our friends at Union VFX (the company behind the visual effects for 127 Hours) on HeyUGuys? With the Oscars around the corner, it's good to get an insider's view on one film that's up for a few gongs.
"I can't wait to start my VFX Course" explains CG Whiz winner Stu Schwartz
Since I've been back at school I've been constantly asked about the CG Whiz competition. Are you excited about going to LA and studying with Escape Studios? When will your placement start at The Mill? Are you nervous? Apprehensive? And truth is: I'm totally overwhelmed, but so excited! The more I look at what the course entails, the more eager I get. I'm looking forward to learning new 3D programs that I haven't used before. And not only that, but delving deep into them. I'm hoping that this will give me a much broader knowledge of VisFx. I'm also really thrilled about the Instructors who I will be learning from directly - they are all incredibly qualified and will be invaluable as mentors to me!
A New VFX Outfit to Watch
Currently wowing audiences everywhere, and hot off the back of its Oscar nominations, Danny Boyle's latest film 127 Hours is something we've been keeping a particular close eye on. Obviously we're fans of Mr Boyle's work (personally, I can't wait to see the Olympic opening ceremony), but in this case we're more interested in a small team of people working behind the scenes.
The title sequence from Scott Pilgrim
I just wanted to point you towards this article which discusses the amazing title sequence for Scott Pilgram. When I was a student wanting to get into the industry I found out about Shynola (a collective group of visual artists who have collaborated on a variety of projects) when a brilliant but very strange music video was produced by Unkle called "eye for an eye". When I came across this article of how Shynola worked with the Edgar Wright the director of Scott Pilgram, I decided to have a look.
Mentored Training Webinar, 9th February
We know just how popular our webinars are on all things CG, well the next in line is all about our Mentored Training and includes a preview of our exciting e-Learning platform.
For those who can't give up work for 12 weeks or come to our offices in London or Los Angeles, Mentored Training is just the ticket. You can study our VFX or Compositing online and still get expert mentoring and feedback from our tutors and share your creations with classmates on Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo (that's thanks to our clever e-learning technology!).
StereoScopic 3D Doesn't Work!
So when an academy awarded influential film editor like Walter Murch makes very detrimental comments about 3D stereo some people should take a long hard look at it. What does 3D really add to the whole film experience except expense and a headache? You can find his comments here - all of which are very observant and true.
The 5 Miserable VFX Jobs That Make Movies Possible
I came across this blog on the 5 miserable VFX Jobs that make movies possible and found it quite amusing... ;-)
Free Webinar - Mentored Training Tour
We've had lots of questions about how our Mentored Training works and we thought it would be great to give people a guided online tour. We'll take you through what you'll learn on the course but more importantly, how you'll learn on this course - demonstrating our unique e-Learning platform.
New Year's Resolution
It's that time of year when everybody makes a multitude of New Year's resolutions. I am of the opinion that they are not worth doing unless you are going to stick to them. Having said that, we have actually decided to start the year with a resolution. It's a fairly simple one: we are resolute in our wish to give you more of the free tutorials that you want. There you are, I told you it would be an easy one.
That's all Folks! For now…
With 2011 around the corner, I wanted to reflect on some of the amazing things that Escape Studios has achieved this year. Opening our offices in LA, launching our brand new US website, the phenomenal success of CG Whiz and the launch of our Mentored Training Courses is just the tip of the iceberg. We've had Paul Frankin of DNEG talk to our students about the incredible VFX created for Inception and Christan Manz, VFX supervisor on the latest HP7 talk about how Framestore wowed with their character creation.
TWO Free Tutorials: Car Lighting and MIA Material X Passes
Lighting and Shading are an integral part of the VFX pipeline and if you want to take your skills to a professional level these tutorials are the best place to start learning. What's great about these tutorials is that they tackle pretty complicated subjects head-on and they are practical so, although you'll understand the theory, you'll also learn how to practically apply this knowledge. The best part is that these tutorials will sit in our resource centre permanently, so you can access them whenever you want and learn whenever it suits you.
Escapees to work on Halo Fan Film
Escape Studios has been approached to help with some of the CG and VFX work on an exciting new, non-profit project called Operation Chastity.
Amazing Showreel from Displace Studios
Here's a link to a fantastic reel from our friends at Displace Studios, they worked with us earlier this year to create some eye popping 3D brand furniture for our new website and other collateral. They did an amazing job for us and I wish them every luck with this new venture.
Ben Hibon Talks About Deathly Hallows
For those of you who have seen the latest instalment in the Harry Potter franchise, here's an interview with the sequence lead of the animated section explaining the Deathly Hallows. You can check out the full interview here.
Framestore's VFX Supervisor on HP7 Inspires our Students
Last Wednesday, Escape Studios had the honour of having Christian Manz, VFX Supervisor at Framestore come into our studios and talk to our students about life in the industry. Christian discussed the bits about the job that are great (Like getting to see your name up on the big screen after arduous months of working on a project) and the bits which aren't quite so good (Like the long hours). It wasn't just our students who enjoyed it, we loved it too. Christian's thirteen year career has been an epic one and his latest contribution to the industry as VFX Supervisor on the latest HP7 is particularly impressive. We spoke to Christian about the highs and lows of his career so far, and what it feels like to have been part of one of the biggest films of our recent times.
