Outage at Eastman's TX Facility Expected to Impact First-Quarter Earnings
10:15 AM MST | March 3, 2010 | Lindsey Bewley
Eastman Chemical says its Longview, TX olefins complex will be down following an equipment breakage that has interrupted production of certain products and intermediates. The company expects the outage to cut first-quarter 2010 earnings per share by about 20 cts-25 cts. The impact from the outage is expected to be offset by higher than forecasted sales volume and operating margin, Eastman says. The company previously said it expects first-quarter earnings to be "only slightly higher" than fourth-quarter earnings of $1.14/share. Analysts estimate...

Are you wondering if your child can be involved in sports and still maintain good grades? It is possible! It will take your support, as well as good communication and some guidance. With your help, school and sports can coexist peacefully -- and benefit your child.
Help your child create a master schedule.
For easy reference, you may want to consider investing in a poster-size laminated calendar, available at office supply stores. A traditional wall calendar will work, too. Create a color key, assigning each activity its own color, such as red for soccer, blue for softball or purple for school. Fill in important dates, such as practices, games, tests, school events and other activities. Help your child keep the calendar updated by adding events as you hear about them, especially after receiving newsletters or telephone calls about activities that your child will need to attend. Encourage your child to look a week in advance and be aware of events coming up in the near future.
Be clear that school is the first priority.
Allot at least 45 minutes each day for studying and homework. There may be some days where your child needs more or less than that, but you can adjust the schedule accordingly.
Be flexible.
If your child's schoolwork shows signs of suffering, you may need to decrease the amount of time spent on outside activities until the grades improve. It may be helpful to form a study group of classmates who can help each other stay on top of the work.
Sports provide an excellent opportunity for your child to learn how to budget time, which will help prepare your child for a successful future.

Scotch and Soda Shirt
Selected the 10 November 2010 by Romano as "the garagerocker"
Check shirts trend is on the skids. The only thing that you still can do is trying to find the most tastefully colored one. It seems Sotch & Soda have chosen colors nicely here, considering the last "niche" of the pattern : workwear (although checks are timeless). We've got here some purple mixed with a "forest green" color, all contrasted by some white and yellow lines : totally wearable!

Audit The Fire Department Don't Spend Money Developing a Finance Plan
With that said, why in the world would the city want to pay $38,000 to have someone develop a finance plan for the fire department. That's the reason mayors hire COMPETENT managers for police, fire and all their departments, to manage budgets and personnel. Incidentally, Mike McDonnell is apparently incapable of doing any of the latter. So the solution is to fire this thug for cause, for incompetence, not to hire someone else to do his job.
Also, you may recall that Mayor Suttle hired a finance director , Pam Spaccarotella for $180,000 a year. Yes, she altruistically gave up $40,000 of that but she still gets $40,000 more than her predecessor. Now, with such high powered support why would the city council outsource a finance plan?
Two council members, Jean Stothert and Franklin Thompson, had the good sense to vote against hiring outside help.
Once again because of the fiscal and management incompetence of Mayor Suttle and his lackeys (Gernandt, Jerram, Gray) which now appears to include Pete Festersen, the tax payers are getting screwed. If this $38,000 study is so important perhaps Spaccarotell will donate those funds from her salary since apparently she isn't able to develop a plan--even after saying she and her folks would meet weekly with the fire department management on their budget.
We hope that State Auditor Mike Foley conducts a full blown audit of the Fire Department. The city may have to pay for it, but it will be a lot more valuable than some study that competent management should be able and required to do.

I'd bet there is a five alarm call to the OFD central HQ right now. All hands on deck to shred as many documents as they can before the auditor gets there.
- February 25, 2010 at 9:53 AM
So, our city Finance Director (Pam whatever her last name is) needs a consultant to do what she should be doing to hold the fire department accountable for their ignorance???
She is as incompetent and stupid as her boss. This city council with the exception of Thompson and Stothert is giving cover to the stupidity and ignorance that runs city hall.
Thank God for Mike Foley. Lets go after this whole corrupt bunch and bring down this whole deck of cards.

Who's a better actor, Arnold or Sylvester?
My coworkers have a long-running debate going as to who the better actor is: Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone. No one is claiming that either is a good actor -- the debate is, who's better? Can you help settle this? -- Roger Taranto
Sure, I can. But first may I say how encouraged I am by the rigorous standard of debate that flourishes at your workplace! So many performance-related questions we get here at Ask the Critic are so, oh, you know, whatever: Who's the worst actor in a great movie, who's the best actor in a piece of junk -- stuff like that. But you and your colleagues aren't afraid to name names out of ''I Love the '80s,'' are you?
The answer, of course, is Schwarzenegger, who has always displayed a certain disarming circus-act gusto (lacking in Stallone, a humorless Oscar nominee) for the work he does, whether it's pumping iron or pumping the hands of voters. The suggestion of amusement at his own improbability is as much a thespian skill as it is a political asset.

Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Going to the doctor in Puerto Rico has for years often meant getting in line. Now, it might mean getting on a plane.
A medical exodus is taking place in the Caribbean territory as doctors and nurses flee for the U.S. mainland, seeking higher salaries and better reimbursement from insurers. Many of their patients, frustrated by long waits and a scarcity of specialists, are finding they have no choice but to follow them off the island.
Among them is Marilu Flores, a 60-year-old rural mail carrier who is battling advanced rheumatoid arthritis.
She not only is flying to the U.S. mainland to receive treatment; she's moving to Texas.
"The best doctors left a long time ago," she said.
In the last five years, the number of doctors in Puerto Rico has dropped by 13 percent, from 11,397 to 9,950, according to the island's Medical Licensing and Studies Board. The biggest losses are primary care physicians and specialists within a specialty, such as thoracic oncologists.
Of the roughly 400 cardiologists who practiced in Puerto Rico about five years ago, only about 150 remain. The number of anesthesiologists has dropped from roughly 300 to about 100 in roughly the same time period, said Dr. Eduardo Ibarra, president of the island's Association of Surgeons.
"Same with the neurosurgeons. They don't even number 20 now," Ibarra said. "There are no specialized surgeons in certain areas."
Those seeking a thoracic oncologist, for example, have to go to Florida, if they can afford it.
"It's truly catastrophic," he said.
The exodus of doctors is part of a larger wave of professionals who have left the U.S. island territory in recent years, settling in states such as Florida and New York, where there is a big demand for bilingual workers, especially police and nurses. Many Puerto Ricans also seek to escape a wave of violent crime and higher cost of living. Almost a million more Puerto Ricans now live on the mainland than on the island.
Medical professionals say they expect the situation will worsen.
President Barack Obama's new health care law means U.S. states will soon seek more doctors amid an influx of patients, said Dr. Guillermo Tirado, an internal medicine specialist in Puerto Rico.
"All states are preparing to cull a lot of doctors from Puerto Rico," he said. "If we have a big exodus now, we're going to see it get worse ... There hasn't been a revolution yet because the escape valve is to buy a plane ticket to Orlando," referring to the many patients who fly to the U.S. for treatment if they can afford it.
Puerto Rico currently does not meet federal recommendations on the number and types of doctors needed per capita, Tirado said.
The island of 3.7 million people has no more than two pediatric neurosurgeons, even though guidelines state there should be at least one pediatric neurosurgeon per roughly 80,000 people, he said.
Puerto Rico also lacks 93 full-time primary care physicians to adequately cover the medical needs of the population, according to statistics from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, which tracks areas suffering from a shortage of health professionals. Of the island's 78 municipalities, 37 need more health care professionals, including the capital of San Juan and Ponce, the island's second largest city. The island has roughly 7,000 primary care physicians, Ibarra said.
At the same time, the island's medical tourism industry is growing, with two new hospitals being built in Manati and Bayamon, catering mostly to foreigners from elsewhere in the Caribbean, and even some from the U.S. mainland, said Pedro Pierluisi, the island's representative in Congress who has limited voting powers. "In a way, it's inconsistent," he said.
Tirado said U.S. patients seek mostly cosmetic procedures, while Caribbean patients often seek specialists not available on their islands, such as endocrinologists.
"It's a paradox," he said, noting that U.S. tourists who need other medical services while on vacation often choose to go back to the mainland in an air ambulance.
To prevent doctors from leaving, one legislator has introduced a bill that would require medical students to stay and practice in Puerto Rico the amount of time it took to complete their residency if the government paid for it.
"We're being left without specialists," said Jose Aponte, former president of the House of Representatives.
The government pays for the residencies of at least 95 percent of all Puerto Rican medical students, investing $35,000-$45,000 a year for each, Aponte said. Puerto Rico has four medical schools, and roughly 400 medical students graduate a year.

TOMCATS is the outrageously hilarious and sexy comedy about hooking up, hanging out and trying to stay single. Vowing never to get married, six buddies contribute $1,000 each into a mutual fund with the agreement that the last single man gets it all. Seven years later, there are only two bachelors left - Michael (Jerry O'Connell) and Kyle, (Jake Busey) and the kitty has grown to a half a million dollars. Desperate to pay off a huge gambling debt, Michael plots to get Kyle married by tracking down super-sexy, Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth), "the lost love of Kyle's life". Through a little creative intervention involving a dominatrix librarian, a Las Vegas mobster, and a quick trip to a sperm bank, Michael and Natalie scheme to trick Kyle into unholy matrimony and split the money. But, when Michael finds himself falling for Natalie, the dash for cash takes a wild turn in this raucous laugh-fest!
Tomcats -- Open-ended Trailer from Columbia Tristar
Tomcats -- A group of buddies made a bet years ago as to whom would be the last bachelor of their group. Now, this bet could save Michael's life. He owes a casino a lot of money and needs the cash fast. There is only one friend in his way... Kyle, a womanizer, and his competition to win the bet. It seems hopeless, but Michael has a secret weapon... Natalie.
Tomcats movie trailer - starring Jake Busey, Jaime Pressly, Shannon Elizabeth, Jerry O'Connell, Horatio Sanz, Travis Fine. Directed by Gregory Poirier. Genre: Comedy
Rating: R
Trailer for Tomcats.
The story concerns a group of guys who have made a deal to each invest in a fund, which would be paid to the last remaining bachelor of the group. Michael Delaney, a cartoonist, attempts to get the other remaining bachelor, Kyle Brenner, married to a statuesque policewoman who Kyle said was the one that got away, so Michael can claim the fund to pay off a gambling debt. Unfortunately, the statuesque policewoman Kyle is trying to marry is the woman Michael has fallen in love with, Officer Natalie Parker. Michael then gets himself into all sorts of misadventures, from getting captured by a young woman and her grandmother with a bizarre BDSM fetish (the young woman seems like a quiet librarian at first glance) to trying to retrieve Kyle's surgically removed testicle, all the while attempting to pay off his gambling debt to the honked-off mobster menacing through selling his possessions, relieving himself of his 'Tomcat' status, overcoming his fear of commitment, and finding true love.

Hotel Porto Mare, Funchal
Reviews - Hotel Porto Mare
- Age Group: 41 - 50
- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Mature Couple
We had a twin room with a sea view. Large well appointed room with huge twin beds pushed together as a double.
The location is great if you want a quiet stay with no traffic noise. The distance from town is no problem if you enjoy a walk and if not there is a courtesy bus to Funchal centre and the cable car station.
The staff are polite and helpful.
The restaurants are good and I would go back to the Porto Mare just for the breakfast which is brilliant. A huge buffet fruit, cereals bread, cold meats and cheese and cooked all in great variety and quantity.
We don't do the swimming pool thing but the pools looked great. Plenty of sun loungers both by the pool and in the beautiful garden areas.
I stay in hotels frequently and this is the first one that I cannot find a single fault with it (other than the complimenary champagne on my 50th which meant that I went to dinner half cut!).
If this is 4 star I can't think what extra I could want from a 5 star - excellent value.
We loved it and can't wait to go back.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Hotel Porto Mare
Superbfrom wiganduo
As my wife and I are not sun worshippers, we found loads to do and in fact within the week did not get to do everything we wanted so will have to go back to finish them all. The cable car ride up to Monte is well worth the money with the Monte Palace gardens being one of the most impressive gardens we visited. Of course we also took the tobogan ride which is quite an experience. My wife wasn't sure wether she endured it or enjoyed it.
We will definately visit Madeira again and would recommend the Porto Mare to anyone.
Honeymoon heaven!from KBailes
On closing we would say do not go to this resort if expecting lively holiday as not many bars there is more restaurants, however ideal if on Honeymoon like ourselves.
A Hotel with Something for Everyonefrom carjam
Getting a sunbed wasn't always easy but we always managed it and where doesn't have this problem in July particularly in an island which doesn't have beaches or much coastline accessible for swimming.
That is the only possible criticism of the hotel. Lovely setting, rooms and service. We had good weather but I swam in the heated indoor pool every morning and it is great.
The cocktail bar has carpet and cosy seating and lighting, and I could just imaging spending many a happy evening there even if the weather was less than perfect.
My husband and I are in our late forties but found a nice mix of ages at this time of year, quite a few children obviously in July, but the hotel or pool was not overwhelmed
Madeira and the Porto Mare are a good place for a holiday.
Lovely hotelfrom irodger
Very good hotelfrom DWLSWL
Very good Spa, with Decleor trained staff.
Only negative was trying to get a sunbed at the pool area. Too many towels and nobody appearing to use them until the afternoon.
We had some fantastic food mainly in the Old Town, which is also better value. Our favourite was Marisa who do an excellent suckling pig (pre-booked). Some of the food in the Hotel Zone and Marina was hit and miss. The best restaurants weren't the dearest and tend to have a high number of Portuguese in them.
Wow the best hotel by far!!!!from Mel_Mike
THe hotel is beautiful, very large and extremely clean. The pools are spotless and the indoor pool was fantastic. The staff are very attentive and polite. The bedrooms are massive with sky tv which has at least three english films on a day, (which is very rare on all the holidays we have been on) The bathrooms are well equipped. Rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels (bath and pool towels) All rooms are sea view and are also very spacious with sun beds and table and chairs. The grounds are devine and the amount of pools makes up for no beach.
Right..........here is the best bit, the food in the hotel is second to none. Eat in the Lido restaurant we ate in there twice and both times had a three course meal with drinks for 55 euros for two. Try the lamb cutlets! The breakfast buffet is out of this world everything you can imagine. They even have a traditional english breakfast, which again is usually always dodgy in foreign countries but not here! My only tip is to take your own teabags if you want a decent cup of tea, they only do english earl grey!
DO NOT go half board, Funchal is full of restaurants and very reasonable! Down near the harbour there is a boat restaurant called the 'beetles bar', and try the MAr Azul which is also on the front! The walk to funchal is about 25 mins, nice walk though, taxi will cost you 4.40 euros in the day and 6 euros at night! Make sure you visit Monte and try thr toboggans, what a laugh!
We hired a car for two days and travelled the whole island, we managed 300 miles which only used half a tank, The car with petrol cost about £120 with full insurance from Europcar, the hotel organised this for us! Driving is so easy only one main road really, maps are well planned out though.
Places definatly worth a visit:
Porto Moniz, amazing fresh water swimming pools
Santana, for the traditional houses
Santa cruz, to just see the scary runway that hangs off the sea
Machicho very up and coming
Calheta for the man made beach
Sao vincente for the caves!
You will not be dissappointed with your holiday! or this fantastic hotel! x
Brilliantfrom HHunt50
One more recommendationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Rooms are big with views of gardens and the sea - all with balcony. Breakfast buffet large and well organized - even for the masses ...
Pools & Spa very nice, one little downside is that you have to pay extra for sauna/steam bath.
... and after all the architectural desasters on the island, finally a resort that deserves the name ...
Magic Madeirafrom JackNGM
It has four swimming pools including indoor and all are heated to a comfotable temperature. There is also a well equiped gym,a tennis court and crazy golf.
The Portugese are as a race very helpful and pleasant people and this is reflected in the staff.
The week we were there the hotel was two thirds full of Germans but not a towel to be seen reserving the sunbeds. Towels are supplied for use at the poolside and there are a plentiful supply of beds and a large cafe supplying refreshments.
A nice touch is the courtesy bus to Funchal which in the busy season I recommend be booked the night before.
We stayed B&B and the restaurant had a wide choice for breakfast including a good old fashioned fry up and even the fried eggs were fresh and not swimming in oil.
The room was superb with two double beds,a sea view,large bacony and the first time in my experience abroad tea/coffee making facilities.
All in all the hotel deserves its four star rating and I would certainly go there again.
Lovely hotel for a relaxing holidayfrom ManxMaid
Breakfasts were excellent - with a good selection to choose from - and don't forget - you can have a champagne breakfast every day if so desired!
(It could have been sparkling wine - but who's worrying too much at 9 am in the morning!)
Entertainment is fairly low key, but this was fine for us (we are 50 & 51)- we were happy to just 'chill out' with a couple of drinks in the evening after returning from our excursions to the many local restaurants.
The hotel has a courtesy bus which runs into Funchal and back - which we did not realise until the day before we were due to return home - but what the heck - we needed the exercise anyway!
Thanks to all previous posters who helped us to decide on the Porto Mare.
If anyone out there is not sure whether they have chosen wisely - don't worry - you will not be disappointed.
Top Local Tips for Funchal
Azul Mar Restaurant,Marina, Funchal We were ripped off at this restaurant on marina front. I hasten to add that none of the staff were Madeiran, although very pleasant, perhaps they were working on commision. We were fished of the promanade!! We ordered starters and I asked about the "fish of the day" on menu at 16euros. The waiter (from Croatia) suggested three things and I chose the king prawns - which were more like small lobters (?crevettes) the meal was just OK. We had some beers and two half bottles of wine - when the bill arrived it came to 91euros and the item I had been given was from a completely different part of the menu at 44euros! We gave them two 50euro notes and thanked them and walked off - we had been HAD! So eat at this restuarant at your peril. What was so disappointing was that the delightful waitress who originated from Romania and had been in Madeira for five years,told us that she wouldn't wish to come to UK as there had been so much bad press against her people here in UK.
If you are staying in Porto Mare............ When staying at Porto Mare, you are about 15-20 minutes walk from the center of Funchal. The walk down is really pleasant and not too strenuous, coming back is a different matter, use the free hotel bus! You will pass the famous Reeds Hotel about 5 minutes from the Porto Mare. You can have a look round this splendid old building and book afternoon tea. It isn't cheap but everyone should do it once, if only for the view overlooking the bay. You must book though. Walking further down, you will pass the Casino, which is also where they have the dinner cabaret. This can be booked through your travel rep and is well worth it. A little further on, you come to the Governors Residence. Ignore the guard on the gate and go into the gardens, They are spectacular and much more pleasant to walk through rather than the main road. Going down you will come out at the Marina shopping center. Worth a visit but not nearly as nice as Madeira shopping (a short taxi ride from the hotel, or a local bus if you can work them out). Either go round the Marina or through and come out on the sea front. Cross the road past the harbour and the Beatles yacht is there, I think it is called Vagabond. You can have a well earned coffee in there. (or McDonalds is over the road)! If you decide not to use your rep, below the pier is where you can book a catamaran trip to go whale/dolphin spotting. We were lucky in August, we saw loads of dolphins but equally, you may not. The trip is worth having anyway though as again, the views of Funchal are spectacular. If you carry on down the sea front, you will eventually come to the cable car which takes you up to Monte. You can buy tickets at the terminal, but better to get them from your Rep as it saves a long queue. If you go up to Monte, you can visit the Botanical gardens and the old church. This is also where you get the toboggan ride from (everyone does it once!) Behind the cable car terminal is the old town. wander round the little back streets and have a look at the many small fish restaurants. The food down there is fabulous, though you may have to book. Also in this area is the market. A spectacular display of flowers, fruit and some of the ugliest fish you will ever see (the scabbard) I'd recommend you eat it before you have seen it! To see some of the island you can hire a car, I don't bother as II am of the opinion that if you weren't driving it, then it will be in the hotel car park (parking is truly tragic in Funchal). Your rep will offer the West tour, it includes a 3 course meal and free wine/soft drink, and various others. We have done them all and I would recommend at least Nuns Valley and the West. Back to eating, the hotel is very good if a little pricey. Our favorites are the Italian, just below the Eden Mar hotel, of which Porto Mare is part (booking essential) and over the road, to the right of the Monumental Lido, just past the wine shop and a florist there is a little place called Sola Da Juda (spelling is phonetic)! Anyway, their steak on the stone is great and he triesnot to let you leave sober! For a drink, try Ketts (turn left out of the hotel and then left towards the sea, Ketts is on the right)-a real local bar with live music. Also, up on the road, there is O'Brians, an Irish bar that sells the black stuff on draught! If you need any more - ask reception when my daughter, Michelle, will be in. She lives in Porto Mare and works for Thomson. She has lived and worked in Madeira for 7 years and there is not much she doesn't know. Hope I haven't gone on too much, I've really only scratched the surface. You will enjoy the place I am sure, of all the places we have been, Madeira is the one where we could happily live.
Dinner Shows at Casino Park Nightlife is very subdued in Funchal - people eat early and it can be very quiet after about 9.30pm. If you fancy a livlier night out, the dinner shows at the Casino Park - 4 times a week - are a great option. You get a reasonable 4 course meal, followed by a very professional show - singers and dancers. After the show, there is a band playing a range of popular music for dancing. If you fancy a flutter, there is also the casino to go into to round off the night.

The three-day weekend of charitable activity is a 15-year-old tradition growing out of Los Angeles.
David Levinson started Big Sunday 15 years ago as a Mitzvah Day event.
According to Temple Judea of Tarzana, Mitzvah Day is a single-day event to bring the congregation together to spend one day volunteering in the community. Congregants choose from a variety of projects that cater to diverse interests, capabilities and ages.
Levinson originally put together the weekend to inspire groups of varying religions to come together for a common purpose. He adopted the event name Big Sunday years later after the event dropped its religious affiliation; it became Big Sunday Weekend when the events expanded over a weekend toward the end of spring.
The organization sanctions volunteer efforts in California, Nevada, Oklahoma, Florida and North Carolina. Past events include painting murals at local schools, planting fruits and vegetables in a community garden, Heal the Bay events, and other donating and fundraising efforts.

Much of Orange County may not have heard of Big Sunday Weekend, but that may not last long.
The founding organization based in Hollywood has been around for 15 years, having inspired some 300 volunteer events this year. The themed weekend, which came to Orange County five years ago, included a couple of dozen events this year, organizers said.
Big Sunday Executive Director David Levinson built the movement on the Jewish tradition of Mitzvah Day, on which a congregation spends one day volunteering together through a variety of projects and activities.
Big Sunday no longer has an official religious affiliation, but it brings religious and non-religious groups together for a weekend of charitable activities across five states. The emphasis is on inclusiveness. The only restriction, Levinson said, is that those affiliating cannot take a stand on controversial issues.
Levinson, 53, of Los Angeles said volunteering on Big Sunday Weekend is not limited to a single cause.
"If what they really want to do is to help homeless people, veterans, dogs or the environment, there is something for everybody," he said. "The idea is to do it together," Levinson said.
One of the 20-plus organizations participating Sunday, Second Harvest Food Bank, saw a turnout of about 80 people Sunday morning at its Incredible Edible Park in Irvine. The volunteers were taught how to plant tomatoes and pick green beans, all of which would help provide 400 Orange County agencies with the supplies for 80,000 annual meals.
Soosie Sohn, Tustin chapter coordinator for Lion's Heart, a teen-volunteering organization, said she was not aware of Big Sunday Weekend before she saw on the Big Sunday website that the food bank's park had openings for volunteers. Since volunteer wait times at the park can last up to a year, Sohn said she wants to be sure her volunteers are involved at the park, and other Big Sunday events, next year.
"I wish there were more events in Orange County," she said. "We would always pencil this in."
Max Goldenberg of Tustin said he enjoyed planting and picking crops at the park because he knows food is a much-needed resource in his community.
"We are changing lives because these meals are helping people," Goldenberg, 10, said. "They need this food because it keeps them alive."
Meanwhile, Merage Jewish� Community Center group, JCC Cares and Project Access Resource Centers put together donations of clothes, jewelry, salon hair and nail services, and acupuncture treatments to pamper mothers at Santa Ana's Warwick Square Apartments complex.
Ciry Hurtado, 40, was one of 25 residents chosen for a day of beauty and fashion makeovers geared toward Mother's Day.
At her apartment's resource center, she received a haircut and style from stylists at Costa Mesa's Tek Salon and Spa, just one of a few treatments that made her feel special.
"I came with my neighbors, and I am happy that we can come and take advantage of this because it is free," Hurtado said. "I usually wait three to four months between haircuts, and even longer to do my nails."
JCC Cares volunteer Adrienne Matros said she hopes to see Orange County establish its own Big Sunday volunteer hub one day. In the meantime, she enjoys the sense of community the weekend brings to local religious centers, such as University Synagogue and The Islamic Institute of Orange County, which also hosted Big Sunday Weekend events.
"It's nice to be a part of the bigger picture," Matros said.

The Oklahoma-based arts and craft store chain sued the federal government saying the "Obamacare" mandate requiring coverage of contraceptives in employer-provided health insurance plans is a violation of the company's religious freedom.
Last week, U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., joined other members of Congress in a legal brief in support of Hobby Lobby. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt also jumped in, filing a brief on behalf of the state and joining 17 other states in support of Hobby Lobby.
"Americans may form a corporation for profit and at the same time adhere to religious principles in their business operation," Schmidt said.
How this is a matter that demands the use of the limited resources of the state's attorney general is questionable. But that's not the point here.
Hobby Lobby has a solid case, one that's quite apart from the company's Christian principles. The kind of birth control to which Hobby Lobby objects to having to cover should not be mandated by the government in the first place.
Give Hobby Lobby credit for distinguishing between contraception with the sole purpose of avoiding pregnancy versus medication that often is prescribed for women's health whether or not for birth control purposes. Too many people who raise Cain about forcing companies to cover contraceptives ignore the frequent need to do so for a woman's health. Hobby Lobby objects specifically to emergency contraception and intrauterine devices (IUDs).
No matter whether one's religious beliefs accommodate contraception, a big problem with "Obamacare" is trying to cover too much. The "morning after pill" and IUDs should be outside of the boundaries of necessary health care coverage for the same reason "Obamacare" shouldn't mandate coverage of condoms, sterilization, plastic surgery and abortion – unless the mother's life is at risk. The health insurance mandate must draw a line to keep costs manageable.
The danger of this lawsuit is if a Supreme Court ruling in support of employers' religious freedom extends even to contraception necessary for women's health care. That would set up a collision of corporate rights versus individual rights and shake the foundations of a health care system that, because of politics, remains an employer-based one.

"Health and well-being are complex phenomena. An overly simplistic emphasis on superior longevity as a hallmark of health status all too often masks women's serious health concerns. Mortality statistics, for example, suggest that women are healthier than men. Yes, women tend to live longer. However, women are far more likely to experience depression, more likely to have chronic disabilities, and less likely to have adequate health insurance coverage. Women are more likely than men to use health services--more physician visits and more hospitalizations. It would appear that women are experiencing longer but not necessarily healthier lives."--from the Introduction
The results of the landmark 1993 Commonwealth Fund survey demonstrated that women's health is too often neglected. This book, based on in-depth analysis of experiences reported in the survey, provides baseline information on the psychobehavioral factors that have an impact on women's health. Topics addressed include socioeconomic factors that influence health (insurance, employment, poverty), care-seeking behaviors, psychological factors, and aging. Each chapter analyzes the appropriate survey data, presents findings and integrates the relevant literature, draws implications for policy and health care delivery, and identifies issues for further research.

From April-December 2008, 1050 sexual offences were recorded by police in the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary. Sexual violence is extremely traumatic: in a World Health Organisation report (see the link below) it states that 'sexual violence has been associated with a number of mental health and behaviourial problems': this includes post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and even suicidal tendencies. Most importantly, the report says that 'in the absence of trauma counselling, negative psychological effects have been known to persist for at least a year following a rape'. Fortunately, in Bodmin in Cornwall, there is 'free, friendly, confidential support for women and teenage girls who have suffered rape, sexual assault, incest, childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment or any form of sexual attack'. Support for victims of sexual violence should not be a postcode lottery, Devon needs a Rape Crisis Centre. We, the undersigned, feel that Devon County Council has a responsibility to help provide this service to the citizens of Devon.

Aysha Turner, United Kingdom2 years ago Comments: Devon needs a rape crisis centre, women need support to re-empower them and help to find confidence and trust again after rape. While we live in a society that is both patriarchal and male-centric and where rape victims are treated by police and society as either liars or aiding and abetting these disgusting attacks we will need these centres - desperately.

I have long advocated totally boycotting Amerika's aviation gulag. If enough folks did so, the loss of business would rouse the airlines, which are now fully complicit with the TSA, to demand its abolition instead–and corporate cronies' displeasure is one of the few pressures to which Our fascist Rulers respond. But even if you are the sole abstention from flying, staying on the ground could very well save your life: the TSA has killed one man and is morally responsible for the death of a woman; it's only a matter of time before its thugs murder someone else, either through sheer incompetence or with malice aforethought.
However, many of you must fly: you live 500 miles from the only doctor treating your rare disease, or the line of work with which you support your three kids requires long-distance travel. My heart goes out to you, but I have no advice on how to navigate the TSA's torture since I lack experience.
Fortunately, a road-warrior stepped up to the plate on this topic; he originally sent his tips to me, and I urged him to publish them. His primer will help you endure your next trip to the airport, from mentally preparing yourself before setting foot in the terminal to the parting barbs you can hurl at your gate-rapist. As you may imagine, I especially applaud this tactic: "When I travel by air…, I print out extra copies of essays about the TSA—the kind they don't want people to read. …I use Becky Akers' essays a lot. Just sit down in a chair in the waiting area, read them for a quick mood boost, and leave them on the chair for the next person to pick up." Hey, and I don't even charge residuals.8:59 am on March 3, 2014 Email Becky Akers

What if the test results aren`t normal?
What are the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer?
Early prostate cancer usually causes no symptoms. Advanced prostate cancers can cause some symptoms, such as:
- Problems passing urine, including a slow or weak urinary stream or the need to urinate more often, especially at night.
- Blood in the urine (hematuria)
- Trouble getting an erection (impotence)
- Pain in the hips, back (spine), chest (ribs), or other areas from cancer spread to bones
- Weakness or numbness in the legs or feet, or even loss of bladder or bowel control from cancer pressing on the spinal cord.
Other diseases can also cause many of these same symptoms. For example, trouble passing urine is much more often caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) than cancer. Still, it is important to tell your doctor if you have any of these problems so that the cause can be found and treated, if needed.

Grunting zoo workers act as foster moms to abandoned gorilla
CINCINNATI — Some zoo workers in Cincinnati are going ape over a baby gorilla.
They are wearing all-black outfits, grunting affectionately, and generally imitating mother gorillas to help the month-old baby adjust to a new home and get ready for a surrogate mother. Later, they will don hairy vests and carry baby Gladys on their backs, put on kneepads and gloves to move around like a gorilla, and they might knuckle-walk and climb a tree with baby on board.

To Book: 646-626-2832
I have always been attracted to the idea of the male gender as a contradiction: physically larger and stronger, but psychologically weaker and more easily confused than their female counterparts. Whether in life or in BDSM, a man needs the guidance of a strong woman to complete the thoughts that they never knew were left unfinished.
For me, BDSM is not only a lifestyle, but also an art. Kink is about experimentation. Each moment is spent carefully cultivating, and modifying you, my specimen of male weakness. Feeling out your mood. Getting inside your head. Manipulating from the inside out. No two scenes are ever the same because each mind and its inner workings are unique.
Our shared experiences will unfold without a script. This is real. I bring a disquieting nonchalance and twisted brilliance to my scenes where pain creates pleasure, and my devious smile signals delightful danger. Above all, I require your respect and trust.
I most enjoy:
-Electrical Play - Torture (TENS, Rimba etc)
-Edge Play/ Medical Edge Play
-Experimental Torture
-Full Mummification
-Extended Captivity /Extended Sessions
-Meditative Corporal Punishment (Paddles, Whips, Canes, Floggers, Cats, Crops, etc)
-Judicial Corporal Punishment (Paddles, Whips, Canes, Floggers, Cats, Crops, etc)
-Cigarette Torture, Human Ashtray, Smoking Fetish

Lockheed Martin announced it has successfully completed on-schedule a System Design Review (SDR) for the Global Positioning System (GPS) IIIB satellite increment under the U.S. Air Force's next generation GPS III program.
GPS III will improve position, navigation and timing services and provide advanced anti-jam capabilities yielding superior system security, accuracy and reliability for users around the globe, the company noted in a prepared statement
Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Newtown, Pa., is under contract to produce the first two of a planned eight GPS IIIA satellites, with first launch projected for 2014. The contract, which features a "back to basics" acquisition approach, includes a Capability Insertion Program (CIP) designed to mature technologies and perform rigorous systems engineering for future GPS III increments.
An important milestone that precedes the Preliminary Design Review, the GPS IIIB SDR established requirements for the capability insertion planned for the follow-on GPS IIIB satellites and validated the satellite design will meet the ever increasing demand of more than one billion GPS users worldwide.
GPS IIIA will deliver signals three times more accurate than current GPS spacecraft and provide three times more power for military users, while also enhancing the spacecraft's design life and adding a new civil signal designed to be interoperable with international global navigation satellite systems. GPS IIIB will provide higher power modernized signals, a fully digital navigation payload capable of generating new navigation signals after launch and a Distress Alerting Satellite System payload that relays distress signals from emergency beacons back to search and rescue operations.
The Lockheed Martin-led GPS III team, which includes ITT of Bloomfield, N.J., and General Dynamics of Scottsdale, Ariz., completed the milestone with the U.S. Air Force at Lockheed Martin's facilities in Newtown, Pa. Representatives from the U.S. Air Force's GPS Directorate, Air Force Space Command, the Defense Contract Management Agency, the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Defense and user communities participated in the review.
Meanwhile, Lockheed Martin is progressing steadily on the GPS IIIA program and is on schedule to deliver the first satellite for launch in 2014. In August of 2010, the joint government and industry team completed a highly successful critical design review, which validated the detailed GPS IIIA design and allowed the program to begin the transition to the production phase. The program has now switched its focus from design to manufacturing and has already completed 90 percent of the program's 59 manufacturing readiness reviews.
With a focus on affordability and risk reduction, the GPS III team is developing a GPS Non-Flight Satellite Testbed (GNST), which will serve as the program's ground pathfinder and vehicle demonstrator for the first complete GPS IIIA satellite. The entire GPS III development and production sequence will utilize the GNST to provide space vehicle design level validation; early verification of ground, support, and test equipment; and early confirmation and rehearsal of transportation operations.
Most recently, GPS III subcontractor ATK shipped the GNST core structure to Lockheed Martin in May. The GNST will run through the same steps of the production flow as the flight vehicles, including environmental testing at Lockheed Martin factories in Newtown, Pa., and Littleton, Colo., followed by processing at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The team is on track to deliver the GNST to the new Littleton, Colo., GPS Processing Facility (GPF) in December 2011.

They aimed for Ziggy Stardust. We got the Lucky Charms leprechaun.
Neil Jordan's latest exploration of androgyny (territory he previously, and beautifully, dealt with in 1993's The Crying Game) strives to be a glittery coming-of-age revelry, following a gender-bending ingenue named Patrick ''Kitten'' Braden (Cillian Murphy) as he searches for his long-lost mother during the days of glam rock and IRA violence. But for all its flair, Breakfast on Pluto's fantastical front is too forced, if not offensive. Indeed, Kitten comes off like a cartoon character without any charms.
Jordan, whose past credits also include End of the Affair and Interview With the Vampire, surely boasts an incomparable talent for crafting majestic and devastating tales of love lost. But when he doesn't stick to solemn storytelling, he struggles. (It's fitting that Breakfast on Pluto is based on a book by Patrick McCabe, who also supplied the source for Jordan's other silly coming-of-ager, The Butcher Boy.)
Subverting seriousness is central to Breakfast on Pluto, as Kitten scoffs at a friend who's joined paramilitary forces: ''Oh, serious, serious, serious!'' Optimism is one thing, but the cheekiness Kitten sustains while bombs tear bodies and relationships apart is nearly sociopathic. (That said, Kitten does briefly shed tears when a mentally handicapped boy is blown to bits in slo-mo, no less in a display of movie manipulativeness at its most grotesque.) In interviews, cast and crew discuss how Kitten constitutes ''eyes and ears and truth for the audience'' as the Troubles shake Ireland and England. Meanwhile, on the DVD's commentary, Jordan and Murphy dryly champion Kitten, or, as they persist in calling him, ''the character.'' (It's curious how distant and detached the director and star sound when discussing a movie supposedly beaming with such vitality.) But it seems that the truth we get from ''the character'' is that decades of hate and violence can be happily overcome through some rockin' tunes, bubbly sex fantasies, and a fab fedora. (Detractors of Life Is Beautiful's arguably flip dealing of the Holocaust should especially stay away.)
Comparisons of Pluto and The Crying Game, both focused on a drifter in drag, are inevitable. But on the commentary the director distinguishes the two films, saying he didn't want Pluto to be ''too, you know, arch.'' Crying Game's twist ending aside, there's little archness to that haunting meditation on love and gender. However, while Breakfast on Pluto doesn't play tricks about its hero's sexuality, the film does come off as a bit mischievous to ill effect. Blame that pesky leprechaun.

Macarons seem to have become very popular lately. Once only found in specialty bakeshops, you can now buy them at most local grocery stores. More people are eating gluten free and this is one little baked treat that fits into a gluten free diet. Macarons are made with ground almonds, egg whites, and sugar. With such a simple list of ingredients how can the task of making them be so daunting most people won't even try?
French Macarons
by Laureen King from ArtandtheKitchen
recipe adapted from MarthaStewart
Prep Time: 30 mins Bake Time: 12-13 mins Yield: 2 dozen
- 71 grams almond meal (2/3 cup)
- 117 grams confectioners' sugar (1 cup)
- 53 grams granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
- 2 large egg whites at room temperature
- Baileys Buttercream filling
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Sift together almond meal and confectioners' sugar (remove any large pieces of almond meal)
- Using mixer whisk together egg whites and granulated sugar on low speed for 1 minute to combine.
- Increase speed to high and beat until egg whites form stiff, glossy peaks.
- Add dry ingredients all at once. Gently fold together with a spatula until combined, about 40 strokes and batter flows like lava.
- Fill batter into piping bag fitted with round tip.
- On parchment lined baking sheet pipe batter into 3/4 inch rounds about 1 inch apart.
- Tap baking sheet firmly on top of counter 3-4 times to release air bubbles.
- Let macarons sit out for 20-30 minutes until tops harden slightly.
- Bake 350 for about 12 minutes.
- Cool completely, then fill with Baileys Irish Cream buttercream frosting.
- Store in airtight container and refrigerate.
Baileys Irish Cream Filling
- 1/2 cup soft butter
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3-4 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
Beat together butter and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add Baileys Irish Cream 1 tbsp at a time until spreadable consistency. I like to mine more firm so it doesn't spread when piped onto cookie.

I am pleased with my first attempt at these delicate cookies. A few things I would tweak would
be - make sure no large pieces of almond meal. (I tried to press the larger pieces through the sieve. I should have discarded them and just sifted a bit more. Also when piping batter onto cookie sheets, use end of knife flatten if have a little peak on them. A smooth top would have looked nicer!

We're still improving
West Brom boss Steve Clarke has been reluctant to talk about specific targets ahead of the new campaign but is optimistic his team can be even "better and stronger" than they were in his impressive first season in charge.
– West Brom manager Steve Clarke
I'm not sure I understand second season syndrome - it is another phrase the media uses.
For me, this is about trying to emulate what we did last season - to be a team that is positive and tries to win football matches.
The more we can win, the more points we will get and with that follows the success for the club. That is all you can do.
I don't sit here and worry about the fact it is the second season.
I have learned some lessons from last year and hopefully I can put them into practice this year and you'll see a better and stronger West Bromwich Albion.

Wanna see how retarded I am?
Ohes yes. :DD I found my videos from over a year ago. They're on youtube. :DDD I was a huge Naru-tard before it came to America and was made for little kiddies. e_e;; But! In these vids you can see that I was infact, a naru-tard. :D It's at my dad's nice big house and I'm the one with the thingy on her head. My brother, Cody is the other one. It was like, two in the morning and we were bored as fuck. Also, my dad and his girlfriend were asleep in the other room so, we were trying to be quiet. In one of them, there's this long period of nothing. xD That's because when the thingy fell it made a big boom and we ran. harhar. So, without further ado~ Here's my narutarded vids from over a year ago~ I still had my long hair, though you can't tell. Oh oh! I have no clue what we're saying in these. I don't have speakers right now. xD;
Yeah. I screw with the video at the beginning...again. xD &&Chyyyeaaah. I'm wearing a ICP shirt, btw. Ah, In this one we had a little skit that went horribly wrong. I kicked that thingy off his head and it boom and we ran. xD
In this one we're throwing those little things you put your cups on so it does leave rings. o_o xDD Yeah. I'm that blur you see every now and then. xD We know we need help. xD
This one is just for your viewing pleasure. xDD
Okay. This one is a serious one..sorta. It was for the girl in the red's school project. Figure out who I am and you get cookies. Or if you figure out what movie it's a complete rip off of. :D This one was made back in March this year.
The night before we shot the movie trailer above. Weasel fun! :D That's mai fingah~ :DD &You know you love my trick. xD Ohoh! That's a fazoli and 'I'm an Aunt' button I'm wearing. teehee.
Same night. I stole her haat. :DDD &&Kakashi's the fucking sex, dude.
One thing to say: BOOB SHOT! xD I wasn't aware it was that bad!
Maxie/nyuu/Jessie Whatevarr. She made this on her own. :D It was during this strange t.a.T.u. period I had. Cool, ne?
If you're wondering. Yes, I have gone by Hinata, Tatsuki, Souseiseki, Keira...The list goes on and on.
&&&My hair is shorter and redish purpleish now. :D I think I'm going to let it grow out again. The reason I cut it was cause I gotted lice. e_e; And I hate to let it get longer causecause it flares at the ends. >_<;
Hope you enjoiied. :DD I did~ Cheered my angsty ass up! :DD

Follow us on
With a bit of imagination, it is possible to create a study space where your child will look forward to spending time. First, maximize function and storage. Next, plan for an original and innovative workspace! Allow color to set the tone of the workspace.
Color Ideas
Warm color schemes are an appealing option for a child's study space. Warm color schemes are filled with cozy hues such as oranges, reds and yellows, which help create a cheerful atmosphere (see Color Wheel).
Painting walls a few tones deeper than the color of carpet, for instance, will make the study space appear more inviting (see Color Solutions).
Warm colors are particularly practical for north-facing exposures that receive limited light, or spaces that contain few windows.
Moderate warm color schemes with the addition of a neutral accent color, such as ivory, sand or sage.
Decorative Tips
Personalize furnishings and decorative accessories with the desired color scheme. Painted desks, hutches and chairs can serve as bold focal points within the study space
Painted shelving and desk accessories, such as file cabinets, pencil holders, framed photographs and trash cans act as handsome enhancements that help to unify the space with the desired color scheme.

Happy Weekend....
I had to close my eyes in order not to have a terrible mess all over my carpet (and hubby's shoes). Told him to take the keys....I wasn't going anywhere. I took a few migraine pills and laid back down...incredibly thankful that it was still dark. Closed my eyes for what seemed like 5 min, only to open them and see that it was 3 hrs later and I had to call into work (I was supposed to be there at 8). Needless to say...they weren't too happy with me and now my supervisor and I get to have a "talk" when I go in tomorrow (praying the migraine stays sleeping). Normally...this wouldn't be a big deal at work...but it's the third time I've called in with a migraine in the past month. This is highly unusual for me. I might get one or two of these beasts a year....not three in a month. I'm sure that it has a lot to do with all the stress lately and erratic sleep schedules....but I have to figure out something. I can't go to a Dr. about it because I have no insurance and can't afford to pay the hospital bill.....can't even afford the meds.
I just pray that everything levels out soon. I pray we can find the hubby another vehicle soon. I pray we can get caught up on our bills soon.
I think I'm going to go take a bath and relax some....maybe crack open a book and see if I can read that for a bit without my head feeling like it's going to explode.
I hope you all have a great holiday weekend.....I'm going to try and savor what's left of mine w/ some down time and leftover brisket ;)

Hope you feel better soon. Living in England, we have the NHS, and although lots of people moan about it, I canjust go to the doctor's, or to the hospital without worrying about the cost. Sure, the NHS is in a right state, and you have to wait for hours to be treated in a hospital, but it is there. xxxx

Same here... Migraine started about 3 years ago, with 1-2 attacks per year, and since December I have had a dozen, I guess. Have you tried a migraine diary? (I haven't, but I know it might help.) With many people I know it's certain food that triggers migraine, or spending long hours in front of an old monitor.
(I never go to the doctor, although I have insurance, and my migraine medication includes coffee, sleep and lots of fresh air if I see the signs early enough.)

Alachua County
Lochloosa Lake (5700 acres) is designated as a Fish Management Area and located 5 miles south of Hawthorne near the town of Lochloosa. Most of the shoreline is bordered by old-growth cypress trees, and knotgrass and spatterdock (bonnets) are the predominant aquatic plants in the lake. A public boat ramp provides access to the lake from U.S. Highway 301 in the town of Lochloosa, and at Lochloosa Harbor Fish Camp just north of the town of Lochloosa, also accessed from U.S. 301. In addition, a public pier is located south of the town of Lochloosa on Burnt Island and is a popular fishing site for those without a boat. Lochloosa Lake offers good bluegill, redear sunfish and warmouth (bream) fishing during April through September; however, some bream can be caught year-round. Anglers targeting bream should fish with grass shrimp in deep-water spatterdock or deeper grass patches. Black crappie fishing is best from January through April in the spatterdock with grass shrimp and minnows. During summer and fall, crappie anglers should drift open water with grass shrimp and minnows.
For more and updated information please call:Lochloosa Harbor Fish Camp 352-481-2114Gary's Tackle Box 352-372-1791
Lake Lochloosa continues to be the most consistent destination in the area for anglers targeting black crappie, and many anglers managed to catch limits of sizeable fish during the recent months. During October and November, crappie anglers should drift open water with live minnows or jigs, and start fishing closer to shore as the cooler temperatures of December approaches. Additionally, bluegill and redear sunfish can be caught on crickets, grass shrimp and live minnows at the northwest side of the lake, most of Little Lochloosa and the south end of the lake. The grass patches on the east shore and around Burnt Island are also worth a try. For those anglers without a boat, keep the fishing pier in mind at Burnt Island located south of the town of Lochloosa off of Hwy 301.
