Any recommendations?. Nothing relating to murders/crime etc.

My favourite autobiography is "Harpo Speaks" and is written by Harpo Marx. I had little knowledge of the Marx brothers but picked up this book one day and it was one of the most funny, entertaining and moving autobiographies that I'd ever read. It tells the story of the Marx's very poor beginnings as a large Jewish family in New York and traces the Marx brothers careers up until they retired. A great read.

I read an excellent one a while back, called Seabiscuit. It was about a racehorse.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 09:37 PM
Seabiscuit by Lauren (Laura?) Hillenbrand is excellent, I agree!
Recently read and really liked Stasiland by Anna Funder, and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Also liked Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer, but nowhere near as much as Into Thin Air.
My husband is currently reading and loving Unreliable Memoirs by Clive James.

Seabiscuit doesn't interest me, however I do plan on reading Laura's latest book Unbroken.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 10:05 PM
'Unbroken' is a great book.
Also have a look at 'The Sisters Antipodes' by Jane Alison.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 10:10 PM
Pretty much any biograpy by Claire Tomalin. Especially the one on Samuel Pepys.

Read Unbroken recently and much preferred Seabiscuit. I wasn't a pony club girl, either. They're both pretty good.

Reading this now, really recommend it. Also try The Emporer Of All Maladies, sorry I don't have the name of the author handy,it's about the history of cancer and is also vey good.

Thought of one more. Complications by Atul Gawande was a fascinating read. I've read Better by him as well and it was also quite good. Currently reading his third book, The Checklist Manifesto.

Hospital by the River is one of my all time favourites. A remarkable Australian doctor still doing surgery in her 90's, and helping some of the poorest people on earth.

I second this. Amazing book and difficult to put down.
Also loved Unbroken recommended by the PPs. Will have to try Seabiscuit.

In my skin by Kate Holden. About a woman who becomes addicted to heroin and becomes a prostitue. Despite the serious / downer topic, it's a great read, very eye opening.

The Native American civilizations have shown us how advanced "stone age" can actually be (and likely was in many part of Europe as well) - better than the few lasting traces of stone-age populations in Europe did.
The Central American populations used a quite advanced weapon with remarkable characteristics; a nightmare of a sword.
The Macuahuitl was basically a club with sharp obsidian stones as saw-like blades. A modern chainsaw is loud, but probably not much more frightening than a new Macuahuitl.
Obsidian is not just some stone; it's a volcanic stone that cooled down so quickly that it formed no crystalline structure. The result is that it can be split with excessively, 3 nanometer sharp and smooth edges. That's better than modern scalpels.
The Macuahuitl was basically a heavy, about one metre long scalpel sword - and it was wielded against warriors who had no metal armour. The club itself was already frightening, the sharpness was incredible, but the effect of a sawing motion slashing attack was certainly so brutal that we won't see a realistic Aztec battle in a movie anytime soon.
The obsidian stones lost their sharpness after some blows, of course. This did most likely require some economic and logistical effort because an army needed to be supplied with fresh stones and the means to fix them onto the wooden club (no clue how that was done).

Car Forums / Acura / Acura MDX
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
2013 and earlier-Acura MDX Prices Paid and Buying Experience
I just bought 2010 MDX with Tech package from Performance Acura in Chapel Hill, NC. I paid $43,219 + tax, tag and doc fee = $44,985.
I was very happy with this dealer. I live in Concord and I drove 130 miles to get the car from them. Closest dealer to me is in Charlotte about 25 miles and they would not go any where close to invoice. Ask for Phil if you got to Performance Acura.
vipa Posts: 1That is not true I just ordered an Advance without the Entertainment Package. The way it goes is that each dealership is allotted a certain number of MDX's and they can configure it any way they want. Since the vehicles are in short supply the dealers are trying to get the most bang for their bug and get the most expensive vehicles
Also, any dealer can look at other dealers inventory or what they have on order from the factory (Canada). Go to another dealer or get a quote on the internet which is what I did.
Each dealer may be allotted a certain amount of MDX's but I do not agree that they are in short supply. I have been to two different dealers and both have lots full of them. Everything from Base, Tech, Tech/Ent and Advanced. One dealer had 20 sitting on the lot waiting for someone to look at them. I know they are a great SUV but at an average price of $46 to $50k they have a slightly limited market. I started looking at them when they first hit the dealer lots at $1k under sticker and then got a call at 2k under sticker and last week got an offer from the same dealer for invoice. I am waiting to see what happens March 1 when the new incentives come into play before I make a decision.
One dealer tried to tell me that I better hurry because they are selling like hot cakes. The same ones are still sitting on his lot that I have seen for a couple of weeks now.
borno Posts: 77Looking at a 07 MDX, with sport and rear seat ent. Has 42K miles or so, Grey with light grey int. Think I can get it for $31K. Clean vehicle, I'm ready for the plunge.
Wife's sienna has over 100K on it and need the next suv for the family. Have an 01M3Conv., for a toy.
Son getting liscence in 15 months, so this will be shared all around the family, wife first, then son. I have to be practical.
So, and thing I should be overly aware of? Comments?
Thanks in advance for all input.
Just picked up a base in Northern Virginia for $38,991 (includes freight, TTL is extra). February has been an awful month (due to weather) so dealers are dipping into their holdback to make deals this month. I'm leasing so I'll add more details when I get a chance. Frankly, I was blown away with $4K+ off of MSRP.
sasc Posts: 14we are picking up a tech, grigio w/parchment-roof rails and cross bars in silver plus mats and locks for 44,200(rounded up) not incl ttl. prime acura rt. 1 most other dealers would not budge below 44,500 for just the car, inskip acura basically blew us off, guess they did not need to make a sale. Prime has been nice, had a few bumps in the road when our salesman quit suddenly and the paperwork seems to have been messed up a bit. The gen. mgr nick was very helpful, and we wound up sticking with them.
If 2010 base models are selling for $39k + TTL now, is it a fairly safe assumption that sometime this year there will be a $2k dealer incentive, so a base could be had for $37k. I have been looking for a good deal on a used MDX, but I think I may just be better off waiting patiently for a dealer incentive then jumping on a new one for $37k. Reading through the forums for 2009, it looks like there were multiple dealer incentives of $2k and a year end incentive of $4k (new 2009 base models were going as low as $34.5k).
ursamajor1 Posts: 39If you can wait, I think you're right. I thought I did well with $4k off MSRP in 2/08 (before the economic world took a tumble) until a colleague told me he got his 2009 (Tech, I believe) last summer or fall for around $10k off list, as the '10's were coming into stock. This was at a SoCal dealer, not sure which one, but he lives in Orange County.
A $2K incentive is certainly possible, but remember last year many prospective car buyers where freaked about the economy and Honda needed to unload 09's before the new design 10's arrived. In fact, Honda delayed release of the 10's until the dealer lots had cleared of 09's. If there's a large incentive in place, there's no way they'll go below invoice (they won't have to).
I am not sold that the economy has recovered. Therefore,sales of $40k SUVs could be slow. No guarantees, so we'll just have to see how it plays out.
I have the luxury that I don't "need" a new car. I would "like" to have one by December, so I will wait patiently for a good deal (new or used).
dnb1 Posts: 5I am in the process of negotiating a lease on an MDX tech only. Here are my 2 offers in ther northern NJ area...
Cash down $ 1179
Purchase price: 42,985
monthly pmt: 662
cash down $2075
purchase price: 43,700
monthly pmt: 640.
How does this make any sense? I've always read negotiate purchase price, but the one with the lower purchase price is the higher monthly pmt. I am assuming that offer 1 is rolling some of the upfront costs into the lease payment. That is the only thing that is logical. Any insights out there? Which is the better offer or are they essentially the same?
I'm assuming this is for 36 months lease. If you add up the numbers then they are almost the same. Option 1 = $25,011 and Option 2 = $25,115. I would go with the lowest down payment.
MDX Tech was the best choice I made based on resell value and all other upgrades you get with it.
Good Luck!
kss17 Posts: 5If you don't mind can you tell me the dealership you purchased the mdx base from in Northern Virginia ? I am in North Carolina and most of the dealers dont seem to have much inventory and aren't negotiating a lot. I can probably drive up to virginia/dc area if i get a good deal. Thanks
mbk3 Posts: 1just purchased a 2010mdx with tech for 43,900. now after reading this site, i am annoyed that i paid too much. Local dealers were not willing to go any lower, walked out on them and still got no where. Still wondering if i should have held out to get closer to the invoice price? difficulty finding color i wanted. phila area
It's 3% of MSRP. From my earlier post, you'll see I got about $600 below invoice (on a base). I guess it depends where you are and how competitive it is among dealers. Here in Northern Virginia, dealers have had a crappy month (due to weather) and the two dealers here always seem to slug it out over prices (to our benefit).
frizzledizzle Posts: 1After weeks of back and forth, just got the offer for a 2010 tech and entertain at 44,400 excluding Tax, tags and dealer processing fee with 4 years of oil change service but only valid til end of Feb. Seems to be as low as I can get them - I agree that Feb has been bad for them here in VA and they seem ready to deal. Only catch is it must be one currently on the lot - which is not much of an issue as they have one of pretty much any color. About 10 or so on the lot at the moment. No accessories included.
Thoughts? How would you rate this offer?
I paid $43,219 plus Tax, tags and dealer processing fee for just Tech with no oil changes. I think you are getting very good deal. Oil change option worth about $1000. Let's say if you drive 15,000 per year and oil change cost about $50. You will need 5 oil changes per year and total cost for 4 year is $1000. Now if you drive less then 15,000 miles then it will cost less for dealer. Any way I would take the offer.
flight_doc Posts: 2Regional Northwest dealers are all claiming $43,068 for "True Invoice" after dealer prep. Then most add the "NW Package" with all season floor mats, tri cargo liner, wheel locks, and invisible door edge guard. This takes the invoice plus add on price up to $43.7-43.8K as a starting point for dealing. This seems higher than most other posts I have read. I wanted to pay $43.3K but no one is dealing and all claim only the dealer owners see the holdback, so sales staff won't even take that into account in reducing the price. Does anyone know what a reasonable NW regional price would be for MDX w/Tech? I am ready to buy this weekend if the price is right. Thanks
First you shouldn't care what the salesman says or quotes you for the price. Do your homework and only buy what you want.
With that said the offer should be $42,819 on the MDX with Tech and tell them that offer does not include the overpriced extras because you don't want them. Give them your phone number and tell them if they want to sell it before they close business for the end of the month to just give you a call. If the salesman doesn't seem interested fax a copy of your offer to the sales manager. It's end of month quota time. You can then expect to add doc fee and lic and reg. to that price plus sales tax. The dealer is still making a good chunk of money at this price and would be a fool to turn you down unless they only have a couple in stock and have a bunch of people looking for them.

iPhone bug a potential threat?
There's a lot of "could" and "might" in this story, folks, so keep that in mind. MacNN is reporting that a group of iPhone developers has identified a bug in the current iPhone firmware that could lead to an exploit of the Default.png file.
Default.png is what's displayed when an application is launched in the iPhone. Typically it's a static image, but some of Apple's applications use a dynamic file, which could be fooled into granting access to third party code.
This sounds like conjecture to us, and MacNN's sources are not known, so keep that in mind. Plus, iPhone firmware 2.2 is rumored to be released on the 21st. Perhaps it will lock this down.

Why faintest thou! I wanderd till I died. Roam on! The light we sought is shining still. Dost thou ask proof? Our tree yet crowns the hill, Our Scholar travels yet the loved hillside.Matthew Arnold
Let the magic happen. It's always there. Abundance and love are always there. Believe in the highest good. There is a higher essence to everything. The realm you're in has a heaviness that mutes energy. You can penetrate through it, no matter how dark and heavy. Sometimes it has nothing to do with karma. Just don't forget to keep it open. Don't get too bogged down, don't limit the brightness. Reach through the dark energy and grab it. You might see the smoke coming out of the chimney and you'll even see the smoky sky. You need to reach through the smoke and bring the light to you. Remember the possibilities of something greater then are right here. Be willing to go to the lightness. Don't feed off what is not right in the worldKuan Yin
A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.Unknown
As for the word "Hare" (pronounced huh-ray), it's a call to Krishna's divine energy. Just as the sun shines forth to us through its energies like heat and light, the Supreme reveals Himself through His multitude of energies. If the Supreme is the source of everything, then whatever we see--and even what we don't see-- belongs to the energy of the Supreme.Unknown
Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light.Chanakya
Light glorifies everything. It transforms and ennobles the most commonplace and ordinary subjects. The object is nothing; light is everything.Leonard Misonne
It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. It is light I "listen" to. The light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. After sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. I see magic in the quiet light of dusk. I feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. A sense of magic prevails. A sense of mystery. It is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs.John Sexton
I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a 'record shot'. My first thought is always of light.Galen Rowell
The theme, or harmony, of a painting can be created by any one of its visual elements. A single colour... repetition of shapes... Light can be a theme.Mike Svob
Harmony is the analogy of contrary and similar elements of tone, of color, and of line, conditioned by the dominant key, and under the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations.Georges Seurat
Art is harmony. Harmony is the analogy of contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, conditioned by the dominate key, and under the influence of a particular light, in gay, calm, or sad combinations.Georges Seurat
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.Og Mandino
Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.Ruth Carter Stapleton
Out of compassion I destroy the darkness of their ignorance. From within them I light the lamp of wisdom and dispel all darkness from their livesBhagavad Gita
You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.Ernest Hemingway
Light is the symbol of truth.James Russell Lowell
Beautiful light is born of darkness, so the faith that springs from conflict is often the strongest and the best.R. Turnbull
Let your light shine. Shine within you so that it can shine on someone else. Let your light shine.Oprah Winfrey
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.Helen Keller
No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.Terry Pratchett
We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.Earl Nightingale

What a helpful post, Anneli! Great advice and good reminder for us all!
Thanks, Bonnie. Most writers already know these things, but I remember that, starting out, I had so much to learn. Since there are many new writers out there, I'm hoping they can find something useful in my post.
Thanks for the reminder, Anneli, we can never hear it too often!
When I first hear of some little tidbit about writing, I catch myself making the same mistakes many times before it becomes habit to write without that particular flaw, but eventually a new and better habit develops. It takes time and reminders (for me, anyway) and then I can move forward. Thanks for visiting, Patricia.
Anneli, I have learned so much from you and continue to do so. Thank you!!!
It goes both ways, Darlene. We learn from each other.
Great post, Anneli! Thanks for sharing such valuable information.
Thanks, Stephanie. Glad you found it helpful.
Anneli, I have bookmarked this page and will follow the advice. I think it will take some time but I shall try!
That's great, Pooben. We all started at the beginning and every day is another learning experience.
Writing is such a huge endeavour. It's fun to find little ways to continue to improve. Thanks for visiting, Sheryl. I love your writing. You're well on your way!
Ahhhh, got it! Useful stuff, Anneli! Thanks for sharing!

A proper release for the movie Johnny Got His Gun
The movie Johnny Got His Gun is a surreal look into the mind and life of Joe a vetran of war who has been left with no body and no voice, but is still mentally alive. This novel adaptation deserves a release and should not be kept under wraps. I emplore all fans of cinema to help me in this cause. Great art is meant to be shared not hidden.
I, Mikey Diablo, have created this petition because I love horror movies. This movie while bridging many cinematic genres is clearly a work of art and should be seen by more people. Feel free to drop me a line using the site created for our show, www.myspace.com/averbalbloodletting .

During the continuing brutal assault on reason perpetrated by campaign ads in election season, it would be nice if the press would do competent work to identify misleading and stupid claims by candidates.
Erin Jordan at Cedar Rapids' TheGazette.com took a stab at it in her "fact check" of an ad by Pat Murphy, running in Iowa's 1st congressional district:
"Blum cheated his workers out of overtime."
"He moved his business to dodge Iowa taxes."
"He laid off over 70 workers"
Source of Claim: Iowa Sen. Pat Murphy, a Dubuque Democrat running for U.S. House of Representatives
"Blum" is Rod Blum, a former executive at Eagle Point Software, and Mr. Murphy's opponent. This being a tax blog, let's look at the tax claim discussion (my emphasis):
Claim 2: "Moved his business to dodge Iowa taxes"
Originally incorporated in Iowa in 1983, Eagle Point, under Blum's leadership, reincorporated in Delaware in 1995, according to SEC filings. The company's physical location and all employees remained in Dubuque.
Many U.S. companies — including more than half of those in the Fortune 500 — have their legal home in Delaware for beneficial tax laws and courts.
University of Iowa College of Law professor Andy Grewal, who specializes in tax law, said a company's Delaware presence — even if it's just a P.O. Box — may charge royalties on income gained in other states. Companies deduct those royalties from the income taxes they are required to pay in, say, Iowa, while Delaware doesn't tax the royalties.
From the "conclusion":
Under Blum, Eagle Point reincorporated in Delaware, generally viewed as having more business-friendly tax laws and courts. In these types of cases, the home state can lose out on corporate income taxes…
The claims in Murphy's ad are mostly true.
The "fact checker" has no basis for that statement, at least with the tax information in her story. The idea that companies incorporate in Delaware primarily for tax reasons is flat wrong. Delaware is preferred largely for its well-developed business-friendly corporate law.
While Delaware is tax-friendly, the royalty maneuver casually referred to in the story only works if an intellectual property corporation has been set up in Delaware to own the IP; the IP company collects the royalties in Delaware, and the operating company deducts the payments to lower its income in high-tax states. There appears to have been no such entity.
The 1999 10-K filing with financial statements for Eagle Point Software would detail related parties and subsidiaries included in the financial statements. Any Delaware IP subsidiary would be included in the consolidated financial information, because while investors like it when their companies reduce state taxes, they don't like it if it means real cash leaves the company covered by the financial statements.
Eagle Point's only subsidiary included in the financials is a Wisconsin Corporation, ECOM Associates. As Wisconsin is a high-tax state, nobody would set up an IP holding company there.
The only "related party transaction" shown in the statements is its lease for its facilities. There is no mention of any intellectual property lease.
And there almost certainly would have been no need for Eagle Point Software to go through the trouble. Corporations apportion their income to Iowa based on the destination of the sale. As a public company, we can assume over 90% of their sales were to non-Iowa customers. That means almost all of its income would not be taxed in Iowa to begin with. And that would have been just as true if the company were incorporated in Iowa, rather than Delaware.
So, apparently without looking at publicly available information on Eagle Point, and with only a general statement by a law-school prof claiming no direct knowledge of the transaction, the Gazette's "fact checker" called the assertion that the company incorporated in Delaware to dodge Iowa taxes "mostly true." In fact, there appears to be no royalty agreement to funnel income out of Iowa. And, as most of Eagle Point Software's sales would have been to non-Iowa customers, there would be little state tax to reduce in the first place.
Conclusion: with respect to the tax claims evaluated by Thegazette.com, I rate their fact-checking effort worthless. I rate the claim by Pat Murphy that Eagle Point incorporated in Delaware to "dodge Iowa taxes" false.

TaxGrrrl brings word of 'Staggering' Sanctions Slapped On Wyly Brothers In Offshore Case. $190 million, plus interest, will get anyone's attention.
Christopher Bergin, The Hobgoblin of Little Minds (Tax Analysts Blog):
This week the Treasury Department got into the act, putting corporate America on notice that it will soon issue regulations that will take "targeted action to reduce the tax benefits of – and when possible, stop – corporate tax inversions." Treasury said it "will continue to review a broad range of authorities for further anti-inversion measures as part of our continued work to close loopholes that allow some taxpayers to avoid paying their fair share."
I think Treasury will end up regretting this announcement. First, two minor points: So-called loopholes are created by elected officials and include such things as the ability to deduct the interest you pay on the mortgage you got to buy that house you live in. And it's up to Congress to decide on "fair shares." The Treasury Department doesn't get to make law, which is why when it comes to corporate inversions it will ultimately do little more than make a lot of noise and create an initial annoyance.
The point is to score some election season points; if it causes problems down the road, well, they'll be somebody else's.

Sarah awoke in a sunny mood. Today she would lunch at her favorite restaurant with her best friend. Her mood rapidly clouded when she tripped on her husband's dirty clothes, crumpled on the floor beside the bed. In the bathroom, she found a wet towel thrown in the tub and toothpaste globs in the sink. Her anger began rising like mercury in the sun. She breathed deeply, counted to fifty and headed for the kitchen, where she was faced with a table littered with crumbs, an empty milk carton saluting her from the counter, and dirty dishes in the sink. She reached for the phone and pounded out her husband's work number. He answered with a cheerful hello.
"You've done it again," she shouted.
"What's your problem?" he replied.
"I'm not your maid, that's my problem. How many times have I asked you to pick up after yourself?"
"You're off the wall. Maybe you should see a shrink."
"You've got nerve calling me a nut, you pig," she shouted into a dead line.
What went wrong? For starters, Sarah and her husband were clearly not listening to each other during this exchange.
God gave us two ears and one mouth so that we will listen more and speak less.
On the road to conflict resolution, listening is the superhighway. Not surprisingly, listening is nearly absent in conflicted relationships. Here's why: Most people have not been taught conflict resolution skills. When a conflict arises, "discussions" cycle out of control and no resolution occurs. This leaves you terminally ticked off, which means that the next time your hot topic resurfaces, you are more likely to blast your mate rather than initiate a constructive discussion. When you come at him with both barrels, his natural reaction is to put up his dukes rather than prick up his ears. Since he's not listening to you, you turn up the volume, hoping to blast the wax from his ears. But the louder you get, the less he listens. Instead, he resorts to defending, justifying and counterattacking. This infuriates you even more, so you crank up the volume and -- no big surprise -- he becomes even more deaf, more defensive and more confrontational. In no time, you have a major vicious cycle on your hands.

How can you break free of this cycle? Learn to listen to each other. Before I teach you how to do that, we need to identify and eliminate the three behaviors that are polar opposites of good listening. They are defending, justifying and counterattacking (turning the tables). Let me give you some examples:
Defending and Justifying: Mary tells Peter that she is hurt because he forgot her birthday. Instead of listening and understanding her pain, he defends and justifies his mistake by saying, "I had a good reason for forgetting. I got caught up preparing our taxes and I forgot to check my calendar."
Counterattacking: Mary tells John that she is upset because he forgot to take his turn grocery shopping. Instead of listening and understanding, John counterattacks by saying, "Well, you forgot to wash my laundry yesterday."
Why do so many couples resort to defending, justifying and counterattacking instead of listening? In distressed relationships, listening has been lacking for so long that the partners feel starved to be heard. Not trusting that the other will listen, they both jump in at the same time, shoving their points down each other's throats. Yet listening is the cement of a happy marriage. To avoid divorce, you must vow to move heaven and earth to do a better job of truly hearing each other.
Next page: How to be a good listener

How to Be a Good Listener
In order to make this vow a reality, you and your partner must take turns being the speaker and the listener. The next time a conflict arises, let the partner with the gripe have the Emotional Right of Way to speak first. Don't worry, the listener will get his or her turn to be heard, too. When the speaker feels completely heard and understood, it's time to switch roles.
It's important for me to point out that being a good listener is more than passing a hearing test. If a listener merely sits quietly and says nothing in response, the speaker will think that she or he is talking to a gerbil. Good listeners convey, in various ways, that they have heard and understood what has been said. To become good listeners, both you and your partner must learn the following three skills.
1. Mirroring: The listener restates exactly what has been said. The listener must be careful not to overuse this skill, or else he will sound like Polly the Parrot. Here's what mirroring sounds like:
Speaker: I am so sad that my boss is retiring.
Listener: You're sad that your boss is retiring.
2. Restating: The listener repeats, in his or her own words, what the speaker has said.
Speaker: I am so sad that my boss is retiring.
Listener: Your boss's retirement really has you down, huh?
3. Questioning to Clarify: The listener questions (not challenges) the speaker to make sure he or she is clear on what the speaker has said. If the listener has understood, the speaker confirms that fact. If the listener is off the mark, the speaker restates his or her position, and once again, the listener asks questions until there is a meeting of minds.
If you were to diagram the Questioning to Clarify skill, it would look like loops within loops. The listener's job is to keep looping back until the speaker and the listener are on the same page -- meaning that the listener has completely understood the speaker.
Speaker: I am so sad that my boss is retiring.
Listener: You're really going to miss him, huh?
Speaker (restating the position): I don't know if I'll miss him. It's more that I won't have an ally once he's gone.
Listener (clarifying question): You mean that you will feel unprotected once he's gone.
Speaker: Exactly (confirming that a meeting of the minds has been reached).
A word of caution: A good listener does not pass judgment on what the speaker is saying. I can't tell you how many times "listeners" tell me, "But I don't agree with how he feels." I always caution listeners that feelings aren't wrong or right. Feelings are like the wind. They blow -- east and west, north and south. You never think of saying to the wind, "You are wrong to blow east." The same applies to feelings -- they need to be understood and accepted by the speaker, nothing more.

Listening Roadblocks
Sometimes a man fails in his attempts to listen because he simply can't understand why his mate feels the way she does about a given situation. If either of you finds it hard to understand why your mate feels the way he or she does about a given situation, the following exercise will help you put yourself on your mate's emotional side of the fence.
Forget the particular situation that is upsetting your mate and instead focus on the feelings he is having. Now, think of a situation that has triggered similar feelings in you. When you are on the same emotional page as your mate, you will find it easier to identify with and to listen to his feelings.
Guilt is another common listening roadblock, especially for men. When a man finds out that he said or did something to upset you, all his bells and whistles go off. Don't forget, he was socialized to protect and care for his wife and children. Now you're telling him that he failed in his job as a man and husband. So his guilt is working overtime. This causes him to switch into the other role that he was socialized to play -- the doer and fixer. Now he makes it his job to make your boo-boo go bye-bye. Unfortunately, since he has not been socialized to handle the emotional side of life, he is clueless on how to ease your pain. So the poor lug resorts to sentences like "Don't feel that way" or "Don't be upset." Unfortunately, these responses infuriate most women. Being told to "get over it" is majorly annoying when all you want is to be heard and understood. Have patience with your guilt-riddled macho man. Remember, he only wants to make you feel better. He just doesn't know how to go about doing so.
The following sentence will help most men grasp that the way to fix your pain is to simply listen and understand -- nothing more. Here goes: "I know you want me to feel better. Just listening is all I need." Try it and see what happens. If he still finds it hard to listen to you, the following hypothetical situation may help your man understand what you need: "If you accidentally trip over my foot and break it, my foot still hurts and I need to be consoled. I know you didn't mean to hurt (or upset) me, but I still need you to understand my pain."
I have mentioned only a few of the many roadblocks to good listening. You will find a complete discussion of how to overcome all the impasses to good listening in my book Til Death Do Us Part (Unless I Kill You First).
This week, I've taught you good listening skills and given you some ideas of how to overcome your husband's listening blocks. Before I close this week's workshop, I want to let you know that you have a huge "say" in whether your husband listens to you or not. It is your job to communicate your thoughts and feelings in a way that makes him want to listen. This will be the subject of next week's workshop. Tune in then.

Seoul — The 17th edition of PiFan got underway Thursday in Bucheon, a far-flung suburb of western Seoul.
Considering the anonymity of the destination, the Bucheon International Festival of Fantastic Film to give it its full name, has built a standout reputation as Asia's leading genre film festival.
It does so through a generously ambiguous definition of what constitutes 'fantasy film.' Should the programmers like, it can mean pretty much anything other than a documentary could be selected.
This year one, interpretation of fantasy is sexual.
Unafraid of either challenging or kitsch material, the festival is celebrating Italian porn meister Tinto Brass in a special section called 'Crossing the boundary between Eroticism and Perversion.' The sidebar is an exploration of sex films that has been the long-cherished ambition of programmer Thomas Nam.

From a range of eras and genres, here's Jenny and Alex's light-hearted pick of 50 great opening title sequences from the movies...
Odd List
We don't go to the cinema much, because we hate people. We also don't go because there's always the risk of accidentally going to see the wrong film. It's not helped by the fact that there's no way of telling until it's too late, because there are no bloody opening credits on lots of modern films. And by the time you do realise, you've eaten all your popcorn and you can't be bothered to move.
The movies on this list won't give you that problem. These opening credits are perfect scene setters for the movies that follow, so you won't have to worry about awkward popcorn wasting moments. It's not a top 50, rather a selection of 50 interesting credits sequences, »

And luckily for us Vesuvius erupted in 79 Ad, spewing out lava, pyroclastic flows and poisonous gasses. Some in nearby Herculaneum died instantly, others in Pompeii had a more drawn out affair and even the dog got it (noooo, not the dog!). Whatever – it's good cinema right?

Warner Bros
Some actors like to chew the scenery. Hamming it up is mostly a fun alternative to grimly spewing out dull lines, but even Shakespeare's plays can work well with an actor who's prepared to commit to the most overdramatic interpretation possible (take Richard III). Still, there's a difference between overacting on occasion and playing all your roles as if you're in a Warner Bros. cartoon, and all of these actors crossed that line a long time ago.
When you see these actors onscreen, you aren't seeing the character they're playing but waiting impatiently for the bizarre line reading or grandiose monologue which you know is coming. It's sometimes a welcome distraction and sometimes it takes you right out of the film. Some of these actors have made a whole career out of their stylised performances, and others are wasting their talent »

'Why audiences might prefer to watch his oeuvre – a 40-year mass of frequently explicit sex films – at home rather than at the multiplex, is an enigma that may never be unravelled'
Though few of his films have secured UK cinema releases since his notorious sex-and-sandals epic Caligula sent British authorities into the mother of all censorship tizzes in 1979, self-proclaimed Italian "master of the erotic" Tinto Brass remains a popular fixture on the home entertainment scene. Why audiences might prefer to watch his oeuvre – a 40-year mass of gluteally fixated, frequently explicit sex films – at home rather than at the multiplex, is an enigma that may never be unravelled.
Two Brass films that have long been available only on ancient VHS tapes make the leap to Blu-ray this week: 1998's Frivolous Lola and 2000's Cheeky, both courtesy of Arrow Films. In the latter, Venetian model Carla (Yuliya Mayarchuk, pictured) arrives in »

Question: Have you seen Tracey Ullman's new series on Showtime yet? I think it's smart and hilarious, and as much as I love her old characters, I 'm glad that she created some new ones. Her celebrity impersonations killed me, especially Arianna Huffington and Campbell Brown. I can't believe HBO let her go. Oh, wait, I can!
Answer: I reviewed it recently, and while I'm also a longtime Tracey Ullman fan, I'm not sure State of the Union represents her best work. Not so much her performance, which as always is amazing in its range, but in its scattershot choice of targets, especially a weekly sketch about Laurie David (who cares?). Many of the reviews tended to be more generous than mine, so maybe my expectations were too high. And there's much about the new series I like: the Bollywood numbers, her Buffalo news anchor character, the Renee Zellweger squint. But this is one of those shows where I felt it was giving me both too much and not enough ...

(CNN) -- Malaysia says it will send back to New Zealand an envoy who used diplomatic immunity to flee a sex charge there, defusing a messy wrangle between the nations.
Malaysia's government released a statement Wednesday saying it would return Second Warrant Officer Muhammad Rizalman Ismail to New Zealand "to cooperate fully and assist" authorities in their investigation into allegations against him
Ismail, 38, faces charges of burglary and assault with intent to commit rape, relating to an alleged attack in Wellington on May 9, according to officials in both countries.
Superintendent Sam Hoyle, commander of Wellington police district where the alleged offenses took place, said in a statement that Ismail would be arrested at the New Zealand border and taken to the nearest court on his return. No date had yet been set for Ismail's return, he said.
New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully welcomed the news of Ismail's impending return, saying in a statement that it underlined the "good faith and integrity" with which Malaysia had approached the case.
Ismail was working as a defense staff assistant at Malaysia's High Commission in Wellington when he allegedly stalked a 21-year-old woman and attacked her in her home.
He was apprehended by police and appeared in court the next day, but returned to Malaysia with his family on May 22, Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
The case caused an outcry when it was reported in the New Zealand media, with Prime Minister John Key telling reporters it was his country's "very strong preference" that the man face justice there, rather than in Malaysia.
But it later emerged that while at a formal level New Zealand had pressed Malaysia to waive Ismail's diplomatic immunity, Malaysian officials were under the impression after informal discussions that the New Zealand government was comfortable with him returning home to face justice, CNN affiliate TVNZ reported.
McCully apologized Wednesday for his ministry's handling of the case, TVNZ reported.
"It is now clear to me that officials engaged in informal communications over what is a complex case, in a manner that would have been ambiguous to the Malaysian government," he said in a statement. "I can say that the Malaysian side have acted entirely in good faith."
Under the 1961 Vienna Convention, diplomats are granted full immunity from local laws while embassy staff are immune from criminal charges but not from specific civil matters.
Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign affairs said in its statement that it had "complete faith in the New Zealand legal system" and "full confidence" Ismail would be dealt with fairly.

Gmail app shows up in, then disappears from, the App Store
The long-awaited Gmail app for iOS finally showed up in Apple's App Store today, only to be quickly yanked for widespread reports of serious bugs. Geez, you think they would have had it working properly after such a long wait.
The app looks to basically stick the existing Gmail web app into downloadable app form, with extra goodies such as notifications being added. But those notifications are where the bugs were hiding, causing Google to have to yank it soon after launch. But they promise that app will be back "soon," with all the kinks ironed out.

Philadelphia, Pa. (May 29, 2013) Facial fractures are relatively common, and potentially serious, sports-related injuries among children participating in a wide range of sports, according to a study in the June issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
The five-year study provides insights into the characteristics of sports-related facial fractures in young athletesincluding the causes and patterns of fractures in specific sports. "These data may allow targeted or sport-specific craniofacial fracture injury prevention strategies," write Dr. Lorelei Grunwaldt and colleagues of Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
Sports-Related Facial Fractures in Kids: Patient and Injury Characteristics
The researchers analyzed 167 children and adolescents with sports-related fractures seen at their hospital's emergency department from 2000 to 2005. Of all facial fractures in children treated during that time, 10.6 percent were sports-related.
About 80 percent of the injured patients were boys; nearly two-thirds were between 12- and 15-years-old. Nasal fractures accounted for about 40 percent of the injuries, 34 percent were fractures around the eye, and skull fractures accounted for 31 percent.
Although the injuries were not critical, many were quite serious. Approximately 45 percent of the patients were hospitalized, including 15 percent admitted to the intensive care unit. About 10 percent lost consciousness. Four percent of the children had more severe "level I" traumaunstable airway or vital signs, or spinal cord injury.
Approximately 45 percent of fractures occurred when the child was hit by a ballmost often when attempting to catch it. Collisions with another player were the second most

All my animals are full and I can't do anything for them because my barn and silo are full and I can't increase them I don't have what I need. I feel trapped, anyone know what to do?
Answer from: Hello kitty
You have to get a nail or pack of nails. Then it will upgrade to 75. Same with the barn you get a board hen it increases your storage. You get the boards and nails and pack of nails. When you grow crops. Good luck!

Two thing I do in this situation is sell goods (assuming you are at level 7) or produce goods. That will get you some room. I have gotten evrything I need to increase my silo buy harvesting food. I have been unable to get a plank of wood for my barn, but others have just buy harvesting. I've aso seen building supplies in the newspaper from time to time.
Answer from: Sparky Hansen
As you get room in your barn by selling items, only gather from each animal one at a time or you will fill your barn back up rapidly. Then just feed and gather alternately so you can add one item to barn and take one out (food) until animal items are taken. Also, it appears that if you plant a bunch of wheat (maybe other crops also) at one time and harvest at the same time, when the coins are going up to the box, a building supply will follow. Also, check other farms grounds as you are buying from them and you might see free red treasure boxes stuck in the ground. You don't always have to pay 3 diamonds for them like on your own screen. Sometimes there are building supplies.

When you collect goods from animals or crops, you will get given a board, nail etc. To get room in your barn to store them, just sell stuff at your roadside shop, or if you aren't at level 7, sell them to the people who come to your farm. Hope this helps.

You can buy the goods off other people, or you can just harvest crops and will eventually get everything that you need. Good luck!!!
