I recently sent my granddaughter a package of gifts chosen with great care and oh soooo much love! The package contained two books, one three stories of classic children's literature, the other with children's songs, along with two audio CD's. I also sent her a dress and package of three pairs of underpants. On a religious note, a teeny Book of Psalms.
Sending this package entailed overcoming one obstacle and then another hurdle. First, I had no box. Let me explain that I usually pad the contents thoroughly in bubble plastic and then put in a box to protect in shipping. In this case, the boxes I had or found were either too big or too small or too heavy or WHATEVER. I improvised with two bags of sturdy, brown paper, which I taped and covered with adhesive wrapping. I waited until the Canada Postal strike was over, then the lockout and then waited yet another week and a half so that my package would have better odds at not ending up in some forgotten corner in the backlog of post strike and post Canada backed up deliveries. This strategy might have helped slightly. I went even farther and actually phoned Canada Post.
Finally, the package was picked up yesterday and I was told that my granddaughter loved all the gifts but what she loved the most were the underpants, because they were purple.
As a fellow female, I totally understand this logic!
This day began well. I took the bus, still aided by my cane but before I could get into a seat, the driver stepped on the brake and I lost my balance and fell backwards. Thankfully, I did not land on the floor; a male passenger grabbed the front of my coat to prevent my fall and I managed to grab hold of a pole. My leg, however, still mending from a break not too many months ago, took a beating and even now, at night, it still hurts.
Once I got to work, the day went well, with the usual pressures. In the evening, I had an appointment to work with one of the doctors from Hadassah on some of his lectures. Before we began working, we ate dinner, during which one of my teeth broke.
This friend is someone I've known and been friends with since 1997. Today, he has a beautiful house in a suburb of Jerusalem and his wife and son are abroad until the summer. The man was so sad. When I asked him why this was so, we talked and he said the only thing that matters in this world is money. He has friends who are multi billionaires and when I asked him about them, he said that it was them who taught him that – that he's been fooled all his life into thinking differently. I suggested he find other friends and be less sad and feel better about himself.
My friend doesn't sit in his living room or invite anyone to his house because it is an icebox. He can't afford to heat the 450 sq. m., since he's supporting 2 homes; one here and the other abroad. He showers in hot water and then wraps himself in what he described as a plush terry or velour (I don't know) robe and then gets into his bed where he said he has an electric underblanket (sheet) to keep him warm.
When we finished working, I returned to my humble home. I felt very fortunate that I felt warm and even though there is clutter, for lack of enough closets, furniture as well as other reasons such as time constraints, my house looks and feels like a HOME. I have homemade cookies in a jar and cook for myself when I want and/or need. For these things I thank G-d (don't worry, I still ask for those OTHER things).
I went to Ne'eman in the Jerusalem Mall to buy some pastries known as bourekas. Another customer and I were at one register while all the employees were standing around, laughing at the other register. I called out and said "Excuse me but we would like to pay."
A very young girl came over and with her face screwed up to show her annoyance said "You could have paid over there!" I told her that when the place is open for business, the employees have to give service if customers are in the store; that they can joke as much as they want but not have people just standing and waiting for them to be good and ready to do their jobs.
She shoved my change into my hand with a look of disdain to which I responded by demanding to speak with the manager. This guy saw it coming and IMMEDIATELY came over and introduced himself. I told him what happened and added that I really don't care who her father, uncle or brother is (this comment hinting she might be related to management, which is all too common). I told him that her attitude stinks and that she should not serve customers in that way, unless he wants us all to go elsewhere.
Since that day, I have not seen her, which doesn't mean she's not there anymore. Granted, these people are paid the lowest salaries but hey, I also got minimum wage at her age and for that kind of work! I got paid minimum wage as a research assistant at a university hospital and I was grateful to have income!
I don't know what kind of weirdos are raising this crop of people with no work ethic. Even if they do not want to do this work for the rest of their lives, they should give their all while they are doing it. Most people want to be the boss but to do that, they have to learn somewhere and with attitudes like that girl's they will get NOWHERE.
Seriously, I speak as a parent of an adult child of whom I am proud.
The question arose as to why so-called professionals can get away with being unprofessional? My response was as follows.
I think older adults have brought this on themselves. Before you attack, read my theory.
I think that when older adults deny they're getting older and continue to try to dress and behave like the youngers, they lose their dignity and status and no longer set an example for younger people; whether in personal or professional life. On the one hand, they might be able to "connect" with them to some degree; on the other hand the younger sees nothing that commands respect and rejects the older.
When we were younger and just began to learn about the world; in both the personal and business realms, there were older professionals from whom to learn. We would not have gone to a bar after work to "hang out" with them but when we were faced with tasks and projects we were able to get advice and direction from people who had been there and done that long before us.
By denying getting older and not wanting too much responsibility, more mature people have also put a lot of power in the hands of younger people regarding computers. Computers became a household item and people would call or wait for the neighbor's kid or their own children and/or grandchildren. Computers have also done away with higher level literacy. Too many Blogs and websites are out there with poor grammar, bad spelling, icons and chat abbreviations. Too many parents working "out there" and not giving enough time to raising and parenting their own children.
Every maturing generation pooh poohs the younger people.
Hahahahaha! I just changed the template on my blog and have singlehandedly disabled the links that connect you to the rest of my website!
Oy, oy…now there's more for my Webmaster to do. I hope he won't mind!
I feel as though, what's the point? Why always owe so much to so many? Is this what's left? G-d forbid, I sure hope there's more than debts! Holidays are hard being alone. I especially miss my son and his family at these times moreso than on regular days. I'm invited to a family for Pesach that I've never met. The man who invited me seems to strongly fear or dislike dogs, yet my dog is also invited (to stay in the playroom). I think I better make certain that it's alright with his wife, as well and that there REALLY is no problem with bringing Pnina. If it's a big problem, I might make my own Pesach Seder and stay home. Sad.

The Obama economy: It is dreadful
On Friday, the Labor Department reported that a dismal 88,000 jobs were created in March. That figure might be revised upward later, as previous jobs numbers have been. But there is no mistaking how bad it was. Even The New York Times offered no positive spin.
The Times reported that the unemployment rate was declining because more of the unemployed are giving up entirely. It even pointed out that "(r)elatively low-wage sectors like food services and retail have accounted for a large share of the job growth in the last few years."
The labor participation rate is 63.3 percent, the lowest it has been since 1979. The year after that was the year the nation rejected Jimmy Carter in a landslide for a President named Reagan, who offered a way out of the malaise. Yet today we accept high unemployment and snail's-pace growth in part because Reagan's party continues to be outmaneuvered by a President constitutionally incapable of governing, but born to campaign.
This is not the Bush economy. It is, as Obama said it would be by now, the Obama economy. And it is a dreadful one. Under him, it is likely to remain that way for years to come.

I have a question about the recipe "Lazy Mary's Improved Lemon Tart" from dymnyno. what size tart pan do we use? I have a 9.5 in and a 12 in? Can I use a pillsbury pre rolled crust and bake it first?
Kristen is the Executive Editor of Food52
Hi judyst -- hopefully dymnyno can weigh in, but for your first time, I might start with the 9.5 inch. Then you'll know if you have extra dough (and filling) for next time. (Note that this recipe makes enough for 2 crusts, though.)
Well played.

"Canada. North America's third-largest nation. Home of Toronto. Member of the Internet. Skies, and lakes, and skies. Let's peer into the heart of this great nation: Who it is, where it is and where it's going, and how it's getting there, and who's involved, and what's at stake. This. Is. That."At first glance, This Is That seems to be a basic CBC Radio news interview show; kind of interesting, but mostly inoffensive, maybe a little bland. Most listeners realize that it's really a comedy show that's managed to pull off a perfect style parody, probably around the time the commentators start talking about lowering the drinking age in Quebec to 14 — 12 if you're with an adult. Many don't. They call in to comment or complain, which the show uses as part of the comedy.

Foresters, KaBOOM! & Volunteers Revitalize Charlotte Community With New Playground
Playground to enhance family well-being
CHARLOTTE, NC, Oct. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - A dream is now a reality for children in Charlotte as their ideas and drawings were turned into a new playground today. In less than eight hours, the play space was built at Reid Park Playground with the help of more than 200 volunteers from Foresters TM, the Reid Park Neighborhood Association, Habitat Charlotte and non-profit KaBOOM!. The new playground will serve 8,250 children and their families in the community for years to come.
"Foresters believes in providing opportunities for families to spend quality time together," said Bruce Burak, National Sales Manager US Sales, Foresters. "A playground is an important piece for the revitalization of a community. Not only does it provide a first step towards keeping children healthy, but it's a safe, central location for the entire neighborhood to get together."
Planning for the playground began at a Design Day event held in August when Reid Park children and community leaders met with organizers from KaBOOM! and Foresters to design their dream playground. The children's drawings were then used to inspire the final playground design.Since 2006, Foresters has invested over $7 million with KaBOOM! with almost 100 playgrounds built or planned across the U.S. and Canada. Over their 15 year lifespan, these playgrounds will provide more than 2.6 million children and their families with an opportunity to spend quality time together. Foresters is a KaBOOM! National Partner and a founding member of the KaBOOM! Leadership Circle - a group of organizations providing long-term guidance and support to KaBOOM! and its mission. Thanks to the work of Foresters, the Reid Park Neighborhood Association, Habitat Charlotte and KaBOOM!, children and their families now have a 2,500 square-foot playground to call home that includes features such as a Triple Racer Slide, Rockblocks Climbing Wall and a Tic-Tac-Toe Activity wall.

How do I counter a lane with an Akali/Zed? Face one this morning and it was redic.
Would a Gank plank MF lane work against this? What supports would you use to counter what Adc's make a good matchup for the Zed/Akali bot lane?
Junior Member
That was random bot lane, you will not be seeing these a lot..Most common bot is adc+support of some kind. But nevertheless, if you have adc+ support that has sustain, like sona or sorakait should be fairly easy imo.
Just pick something like soraka/graves, sona/ezreal, nunu/kog maw, janna/corky (you can mix it up as you wish) as long as you have (support)/(attack damage carry)
Tim Allen Talon
Honestly brother, if they send 2 bruisers or w/e bot, go kayle,
it worked wonders for me,
Hey dude, I'm that Zed, we played again with against an Ezreal, Taric, they even had a Shen and Tf porting down to gank us, we escaped with a triple kill. We were doing it to add a little fun seeing as we were completely bored going adc/support all the time. We had a great time, fed assassins hurt!
Taric stun should shut them down. Or maybe another kill lane combo to counter them.

July 5th, 1981
The 1st Annual Sundance Festival
By Roger Ebert
Robert Redford's experiment: a struggle for independents
Sundance, Utah--Up here above Provo, in the resort he has carved out of a little mountain meadow, Robert Redford is conducting an experiment that Hollywood regards with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity. He has selected 10 low-budget films that are in the middle-to-late stages of preparation and invited their directors to spend the summer at Sundance working on their scripts in the company of established directors, writers and editors.
On the surface, this seems like an admirable and uncomplicated idea, a cinematic summer camp at which you bring home a screenplay instead of a woodcarving and an Indian belt. But the movie industry is not so sure. Rumors float around that Redford is starting his own studio, that his dream is to be a major producer of independent features, that just as Francis Ford Coppola wants his own major Hollywood studio, so does Redford want his own mini-¬studio here on the mountain he is developing.
The truth is apparently somewhere in be¬tween. Redford says he has no desire to produce personally any of the movies that are under construction at Sundance. But he might hope that eventually the Sundance Institute, a non¬profit foundation headquartered here, will be¬come a clearinghouse for independent film¬makers working outside the studio system. There are countless summer writers' workshops nestled away in the wilds of Vermont and Iowa - why not a workshop for filmmakers?
There is one difference: The filmmakers at Sundance did not pay to attend. After their projects were selected from more than 100 entries, they were invited to settle down in residence here at the expense of Redford's institute and several foundation grants. The facilities are spartan. The filmmakers are guests in several condo-cabins squirreled away in the hills above Sundance. Meals are served buffet¬-style in the small lodge building, and movies are scrutinized in a garage that has been converted into a screening room. There are videotape facilities at Sundance, and some of the film¬makers are conducting trial runs of their mate¬rial by taping some of their scenes.
None of the footage shot at Sundance will turn up in the finished films. It's all preparation, rehearsal and deep thought up here, reflecting Redford's personal belief that independent fea¬tures will not make greater inroads at the American box office until they are (hold your breath) of higher quality.
This is probably true. Most independent American films are made on very low budgets (from a rock bottom of $20,000 for "The Whole Shootin' Match", through a middle range, of $75,000 for "Return of the Secaucus Seven", up to a high of $1.2 million for "Heartland"). Most of them lack well-known actors, although very occasionally a famous actor will lend himself to a project. Most of them have limitations on locations, special effects, costumes, period de¬tails and scenery - because film is the most expensive art form except for grand opera.
But most of all, Redford believes, most of them could benefit from more intensive pre¬production work - things like script revision, close analysis of the story, and an occasional pointed question about the worth of it all. Because independent filmmakers are often the only people who believe in their projects (or even care about them), they are sometimes inclined to treat a film as a crusade rather than as a work in progress.
This first summer at Sundance is highly tentative. Redford and his associates say they are uncertain about exactly what they hope for from the experiment. "We started this with no rigid expectations," Redford said over lunch in his small office at Sundance. "They say I'm starting my own studio, I'm challenging the studios... Actually, I have no idea what this will turn out to be. I know that it's getting increasingly hard to get a movie well distributed in this country unless it has the potential to make millions of dollars. I think these projects here have a lot of promise, and I guess the idea is that they'll turn out better if the filmmakers have the opportunity to work on them with some experienced professionals."
Independent filmmakers got a boost here in Utah three years ago with the founding of the U.S. Film and Video Festival, which is held every January in another ski resort, Park City, and specializes in independently produced fea¬tures. Now maybe Sundance will help generate independent films to be shown at Park City.
The problem, however, is not getting a new low-budget movie shown in Park City. The problem is getting it shown anywhere else. Two weeks ago, as part of his summer-long institute, Redford held a weekend conference of most of the major exhibitors and distributors of "specialized" films - a category that includes independent U.S. features, foreign films, "art films," cult films, revivals and almost anything else that isn't a big-budget, first-run standard Hollywood production.
Most of the independent exhibitors and dis¬tributors accepted Redford's invitation, and it was astonishing, seeing them all together in the same place, to realize how few of them there were. The big studios and the big movies dominate play dates on most of the nation's movie screens, and there are only a handful of houses in most cities that will even consider booking a "specialized" film. Some 45 theater owners, bookers and distributors sat in the bright sunlight in the meadow at Sundance and agreed, almost without discussion, that:
-There are only seven or eight cities in North America in which a "specialized film" can get a decent booking and have any chance of a good run. They are New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles, San Francisco and, surprisingly, Seattle, which is the best city in the country to open a movie that's out of the ordinary.
-College campuses used to supply large audi¬ences for foreign, art and underground movies, but these days the kids go for action blockbust¬ers like "The Empire Strikes Back", just like everybody else.
-Big chains are completely uninterested in booking offbeat films. Like supermarkets, they're concerned only with the turnstile. Chains with four- or six-screen multiplex the¬aters don't even consider booking one of the screens with specialized films.
-Unless it's a rare breakthrough like "La Cage Aux Folies", foreign films are up against a wall at the American box office. There are only about 100 theaters in America that will book a serious, subtitled film, even if it's by Ingmar Bergman or Federico Fellini.
-There is still a market for specialized films among local and campus film societies, but the backbone of that market, rental of movies in 16-mm. prints, is being under-minded by the widespread and illegal practice of videotaping movies and then showing them on video cas¬settes instead of renting them again. (Almost every campus in the country rips off films that way, it was agreed; even, though they're break¬ing the law.)
-Exhibitors talked about the "strong want¬-to-see" factor that fuels blockbuster hits like "Superman II", contrasting it with the curious "desire not to see" that handicaps specialized films. The average moviegoer is under 25. Ten or fifteen years ago, young moviegoers were more enthusiastic about offbeat, anti-establishment independent and foreign films. Now they are much more conformist. More sophisticated big-¬city teen-agers who once attended films by Jean-Luc Godard have now regressed to the level of "Friday the 13th, Part II". Today's young filmgoers have a herd instinct and are reluctant to take a chance. In a sense, they "wear" movies like they wear clothes, attend¬ing a movie that their fashion-sense suggests will look good on them.
The outlook, everyone agreed, was gloomy. Various alternatives looked just as, gloomy. Public television stations like New York's WNET have attracted large audiences for prime-time telecasts of quite esoteric indepen¬dent films, but TV exposure, an exhibitor complained, removes the aura of a "special event" that a movie must have for a theatrical booking.
The brightest ray of hope at Sundance came from Seattle, where there are 13 theaters successfully showing specialized films. (By contrast. Chicago has only two first-run houses, the Biograph and the Sandburg, two showcase operations in Facets and the Film Center, occasional specialized bookings at the Three Penny, and several reper¬tory theaters.) Seattle used to be a lousy town to open an art film - everyone agreed - and the secret to its success was creative exhibition. Audiences were lovingly nurtured, leafleted, mailing-listed and cajoled. Lacking effective coming-attractions trailers, some exhibitors sim¬ply got up with a microphone and told their audiences what was coming next week, and what they thought about it.
No firm conclusions were reached at Sun¬dance. Various visionary schemes were suggest¬ed to establish a national support network for independent features - but without a steady supply of good movies in the pipeline, it would have trouble supporting itself. Success stories were recited about the few breakthrough films like "Secaucus Seven", "A Woman Under the Influence", "Penitentiary", "Gal Young Un" and a handful of foreign hits. Everyone agreed that if there were more good films, there would be larger audiences. But statements like that tend¬ed to lead into winsome silences.
Meanwhile, up in the hills in their cabins, Sundance's filmmakers-in-residence were work¬ing on their scripts. They were consulting every day with experienced professionals such as director Sidney Pollack ("They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"), screenwriter Waldo Salt ("Midnight Cowboy"), cinematographer Caleb Des¬chanel ("The Black Stallion") and actress Amy Robinson ("Mean Streets"). Would 10 really fine independent films come from their labors? Maybe. Maybe five. At least it is a noble experimentt ¶
I was there before the Beginning, in January 1981, for the third annual Park City Film and Video Festval. I wrote Sundance before it was Sundance .
The original poster for "Ashes and Diamonds" resembles a desperate message written down in blood. Indeed, when Andrzej Wajda's film opened in Poland in March 1958, it was greeted with a sense of urgency by the nation at large. Finally (thirteen years after WW2 ended) a movie got made that acknowledged the plight of the Home Army: the true war heroes whose vision of a free Poland didn't include a communist takeover. For more than a decade, these people have been banned from collective memory and referred to only with state-approved derision. Suddenly, a Home Army officer was the focal point of a major film. And even though he died at the end, the viewers were identifying with his lost cause rather than with the winning one. They knew the latter all too well from their everyday lives to cheer it.
I have always wondered what it would be like to repeat a year at school, and I often thought about what the consequences of this particular action would be on my social life. This is the primary reason why I went to see the French film, "Camille Redouble" (in English, "Camille Rewinds"). As I hadn't seen the trailer before seeing the movie, and trusting only the title -- the world "redouble" in French has come to mean to repeat a year a school -- I was expecting to watch the story of a young girl repeating a year of her education.
OK, this is where it really gets interesting. Forget the consensus Top 50 Greatest Movies of All Time; let's get personal. Sight & Sound has now published the top 250 titles in its 2012 international critics poll, the full list of more than 2,000 movies mentioned, and all the individual lists of the 845 participating critics, academics, archivists and programmers, along with any accompanying remarks they submitted. I find this to be the most captivating aspect of the survey, because it reminds us of so many terrific movies we may have forgotten about, or never even heard of. If you want to seek out surprising, rewarding movies, this is a terrific place to start looking. For the past few days I've been taking various slices at the "data" trying to find statistical patterns, and to glean from the wealth of titles some treasures I'd like to heartily recommend -- and either re-watch or catch up with myself.
I know we're supposed to consider the S&S poll a feature film "canon" -- a historically influential decennial event since 1952, but just one of many. I don't disagree with Greg Ferrara at TCM's Movie Morlocks ("Ranking the Greats: Please Make it Stop") when he says that limiting ballots to ten all-time "best" (or "favorite," "significant," "influential" titles is incredibly limiting. That's why I think perusing at the critics' personal lists, the Top 250 (cited by seven critics or more) and the full list of 2,045 films mentioned is more enjoyable pastime.
It's wise to remember that, although the top of the poll may at first glance look relatively conservative or traditional, there's a tremendous diversity in the individual lists. Even the top vote-getter, "Vertigo," was chosen by less than one quarter of the participants.
Like all of us, I'm living under a death sentence. Not to sound alarmist, but to quote Woody Allen in "Love and Death": "Isn't all mankind ultimately executed for a crime it never committed? The difference is that all men go eventually, but I go six o'clock tomorrow morning." Looking on the bright side of death, I think in some ways it must be nice to have such certainty. But we live in perpetual uncertainty and doubt (see "No Country for Old Men"). My own awareness of the prospect of my demise ranges between roughly five years and five seconds, according to fluctuations in the health of my heart. I've gotten close enough to peer over the threshold (and in one case, lost my grip and fell into the void for, I'm told, about 10 or 15 minutes). My point is, I don't see death as an abstraction but a... vividly imminent possibility, depending on the situation.
(Neuroscientists say it may take the human brain 20-30 years or of development to really begin to fathom the concept anyway -- to some extent we tend to feel, and behave, as if we are immortal before that. I think my brain "knew" somewhat earlier.)
My adventures in mortality are absolutely nothing, however, compared to what some of my friends and acquaintances have been through. People have asked me if my near-death (temporary-death?) experience in 2000 gave me a new perspective on life and I have to say... no. I've been preoccupied with death ever since I was old enough to have a rudimentary understanding of what that was. It used to make me a little dizzy thinking about an infinity of nonexistence, like the one I didn't experience before I was born, but I don't find anything disturbing or frightening about that. Hey, it happens to everybody. Dying is easy; living is hard.*
The big loser in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics poll is... funny. OK, we know there are no losers, only winners! But, still, with the obvious exceptions of "Citizen Kane" and "Rules of the Game," this decade's consensus choices for the Greatest Films of All Time are not a whole lotta laughs, even though they're terrific motion pictures. There's not much in the way of chuckles or joie de vivre to be found in "Vertigo," "Tokyo Story," "Man with a Movie Camera," "The Searchers," "The Passion of Joan of Arc"... At least "Sunrise," "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "8 1/2" have healthy senses of humor, but "Kane" and "Rules of the Game" are the only movies in the top 10 with the propulsive vitality of (screwball) comedy. They are flat-out fun (even if they are regarded as "classics"). And with "Kane" bumped to #2 this time, The List has become, to paraphrase a great comedy from the 1980s, one less funny.
I say this as someone who believes that comedy is everything, and that drama is lifeless (or at least emotionally stunted) without it. Some might argue that comedy without drama is also limited and superficial, but I think comedy is more profound and complex -- and more difficult to pull off successfully. I can name plenty of comedies that capture a mature vision of human existence (if you're into that kind of thing -- like all of Buster Keaton), but a drama that (artificially) excludes humor is feels false and inert to me. [No, I'm not saying the other movies in the Top Ten are humorless or lack cinematic exuberance; just that their energy is not primarily comedic, as i feel Welles' and Renoir's are. To some extent, I'm talking about the overall tendency to value "seriousness" above "humor" in these sorts of exercises.] As for the 2012 Sight & Sound Top Ten, compare it with 1982 ("Singin' in the Rain," "The General"), 1992 ("L'Atlante") and 2002 ("Singin' in the Rain"). The lack of comedy on the new list hearkens back to the Somber Ol' Days of the 1950s, '60s and '70s. As somebody once said: Why so serious?

This Oracle tutorial explains how to use the Oracle/PLSQL MOD function with syntax and examples.
The Oracle/PLSQL MOD function returns the remainder of m divided by n.
The syntax for the Oracle/PLSQL MOD function is:
MOD( m, n )
The MOD is calculated as:
m - n * floor(m/n)
The MOD function uses the floor function in its formula, whereas the REMAINDER function uses the ROUND function in its formula.
The MOD function returns m if n is 0.
The MOD function can be used in the following versions of Oracle/PLSQL:
Let's look at some Oracle MOD function examples and explore how to use the MOD function in Oracle/PLSQL.
For example:
MOD(15, 4) Result: 3 MOD(15, 0) Result: 15 MOD(11.6, 2) Result: 1.6 MOD(11.6, 2.1) Result: 1.1 MOD(-15, 4) Result: -3 MOD(-15, 0) Result: -15

The SPIDERfire ® series puts technological breakthroughs to work to deliver 95% thermal efficiency. Rheem's patented heat transfer system dramatically cuts fuel cost and is built to last. The system is engineered as a 'wet base' design wherein the entire heat exchanger is submerged. Where other fully condensing water heaters typically experience hot spots, this system eliminates them. The result is extended life of the product and maximized efficiency. The three-pass heat exchanger tubes are coated inside and out with a specially formulated porcelain enamel designed to protect against condensation.
Venting Options
With SPIDERfire ® you have a choice of venting. Installed with either power-vent or power direct vent. The power direct vent is the recommended choice where negative air pressure or indoor air quality is a concern.
More Venting Options (And Savings)
How? Because more heat is delivered to the water the flue gases are cooler. Cool enough to permit venting through standard PVC, CPVC and ABS pipe, which is cheaper than AL29-4C Stainless steel.
Multiple Water Connections
Water connections are easy with 2" NPT hot and cold water connections on both sides of the unit.

What is Asthma?
Facts about Asthma
What causes Asthma?
Who gets Asthma?
What are symptoms of Asthma?
How is Asthma treated and prevented?
Know how to correctly use your medications
Asthma medications generally come in inhaled or oral forms. Most treatment consists of using inhaled medications. Medications are most effective and have the least effects on other parts of the body when inhaled directly into the lungs. Medications can be inhaled using :
The best treatment is prevention of asthma attacks- This means keeping on top of your asthma when you are feeling well and always being prepared in case of emergency!
Asthma Medications
Asthma medications work in one of two basic ways:
It is important to remember that many asthmatics will need to take at least two different types of medications.
Immunotherapy consists of determining what substances a person is allergic to and desensitizing them to the allergen by administering periodic shots of the allergen.
According to the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology, approximately 33 million injections are given per year in the United States. Immunotherapy appears to be effective for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (runny nose and watery eyes due to allergy) and for insect sting allergies.
Is not routinely recommended (nor proven effective) for treatment of asthma, particularly severe asthma. There is healthy debate on the effectiveness of Immunotherapy in the treatment of asthma, with opinions varying from "effective" to "completely ineffective." However, some authorities argue that the risks of Immunotherapy exceed the benefits in patients with unstable asthma.
An expert panel for the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) recently issued new guidelines that recommend the use of a revised classification system for asthma. Based on these guidelines, asthma is classified as mild intermittent, mild persistent, moderate persistent and severe persistent. It is important to note that patients at any level of severity may have severe, lifethreatening exacerbations.
Low grade (not obviously noticeable) progressive inflammation occurs in the bronchial tubes of asthmatics not optimally treated. This means that when asthma symptoms occur there is much less room for safety because the bronchial airways are already narrowed.
It is very important to realize that all asthmatics except those with mild-intermittent asthma need to be taking daily anti-inflammatory medications even when they do not "feel" asthma symptoms.
How can I keep my Asthma under control?
Controlling your asthma requires:
Below is summary of potential triggers and control measures along with a "Traffic light color scheme" for using peak flow measurements to determine whether current asthma therapy is working.
When should I call my Doctor?
Call your doctor or go to an emergency room when:
Use of nonprescription inhalers, such as primatene, should be avoided. Prescription bronchodilators are more effective and safer.
Only prescription medications (corticosteroids) can treat moderate to severe inflammatory phase of asthma.
When should I call 911?
Call 911 immediately (not your doctors office) if:
DO NOT DRIVE OR HAVE ANYONE ELSE DRIVE YOU! Ambulance crews are equiped to give high flow breathing treatments and other lifesaving medications.

Morgan Freeman[1] (born June 1, 1937) is an American actor, film director, and narrator. Freeman has received Academy Award nominations for his performances in Street Smart, Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption and Invictus and won in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby. He has also won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Freeman has appeared in many other box office hits, including Unforgiven, Glory, Seven, Deep Impact, The Sum of All Fears, Bruce Almighty, the Dark Knight trilogy, and March of the Penguins.
Morgan Freeman was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of Mayme Edna (née Revere), a teacher,[2] and Morgan Porterfield Freeman,[1] a barber who died April 27, 1961, from cirrhosis. He has three older siblings. Freeman was sent as an infant to his paternal grandmother in Charleston, Mississippi.[3][4][5] His family moved frequently during his childhood, living in Greenwood, Mississippi; Gary, Indiana; and finally Chicago, Illinois.[5]
Freeman made his acting debut at age 9, playing the lead role in a school play. He then attended Broad Street High School, later named Threadgill Elementary School, in Mississippi. At age 12, he won a statewide drama competition, and while still at Broad Street High School, he performed in a radio show based in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1955, he graduated from Broad Street, but turned down a partial drama scholarship from Jackson State University, opting instead to work as a radar technician in the United States Air Force.[6]
Freeman subsequently moved to Los Angeles, California, where he took acting lessons at the Pasadena Playhouse and dancing lessons in San Francisco in the early 1960s and worked as a transcript clerk at Los Angeles Community College.[6] During this period, he also lived in New York City, working as a dancer at the 1964 World's Fair, and in San Francisco, where he was a member of the Opera Ring musical theater group. Freeman acted in a touring company version of The Royal Hunt of the Sun, and also appeared as an extra in the 1965 film The Pawnbroker. He made his off-Broadway debut in 1967, opposite Viveca Lindfors in The Nigger Lovers[7][8] (about the civil rights era "Freedom Riders"), before debuting on Broadway in 1968's all-black version of Hello, Dolly! which also starred Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway.
He continued to be involved in theater work and received the Obie Award in 1980 for the title role in Coriolanus. In 1984, he received his second Obie Award for his role as the preacher in The Gospel at Colonus. Freeman also won a Drama Desk Award and a Clarence Derwent Award for his role as a wino in The Mighty Gents. He received his third Obie Award for his role as a chauffeur for a Jewish widow in Driving Miss Daisy, which was adapted for the screen in 1989.[6]
Although his first credited film appearance was in 1971's Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow?, Freeman first became known in the American media through roles on the soap opera Another World and the PBS kids' show The Electric Company,[5] (notably as Easy Reader, Mel Mounds the DJ, and Vincent the Vegetable Vampire).
Beginning in the mid-1980s, Freeman began playing prominent supporting roles in many feature films, earning him a reputation for depicting wise, fatherly characters.[5] As he gained fame, he went on to bigger roles in films such as the chauffeur Hoke in Driving Miss Daisy, and Sergeant Major Rawlins in Glory (both in 1989).[5] In 1994, he portrayed Red, the redeemed convict in the acclaimed The Shawshank Redemption. In the same year he was a member of the jury at the 44th Berlin International Film Festival.[9]
He also starred in such films as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Unforgiven, Seven, and Deep Impact. In 1997, Freeman, together with Lori McCreary, founded the film production company Revelations Entertainment, and the two co-head its sister online film distribution company ClickStar. Freeman also hosts the channel Our Space on ClickStar, with specially crafted film clips in which he shares his love for the sciences, especially space exploration and aeronautics.
After three previous nominations—a supporting actor nomination for Street Smart, and leading actor nominations for Driving Miss Daisy and The Shawshank Redemption—he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Million Dollar Baby at the 77th Academy Awards.[5] Freeman is recognized for his distinctive voice, making him a frequent choice for narration. In 2005 alone, he provided narration for two films, War of the Worlds and the Academy Award-winning documentary film March of the Penguins.
Freeman appeared as God in the hit film Bruce Almighty and its sequel, Evan Almighty, as well as Lucius Fox in the critical and commercial success Batman Begins and its sequels, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. He starred in Rob Reiner's 2007 film The Bucket List, opposite Jack Nicholson. He teamed with Christopher Walken and William H. Macy for the comedy The Maiden Heist, which was released direct to video due to financial problems with the distribution company. In 2008, Freeman returned to Broadway to co-star with Frances McDormand and Peter Gallagher for a limited engagement of Clifford Odets' play, The Country Girl, directed by Mike Nichols.
He had wanted to do a film based on Nelson Mandela for some time. At first he tried to get Mandela's autobiography Long Walk to Freedom adapted into a finished script, but it was not finalized.[10] In 2007 he purchased the film rights to a 2008 book by John Carlin, Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation.[11] Clint Eastwood directed the Nelson Mandela bio-pic titled Invictus, starring Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as rugby team captain Francois Pienaar.[12] In October 2010, Freeman co-starred alongside Bruce Willis in Red.[13]
Freeman's latest project is the Danny DeVito-directed film Charlotte Doyle which will also feature Pierce Brosnan, and is due to begin filming in Ireland in early 2012.[14]
In July 2009, Freeman was one of the presenters at the 46664 concert (celebrating Nelson Mandela's birthday) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Freeman was the first American to record a par on Legend Golf & Safari Resort's Extreme 19th hole.[15]
At age 65, Freeman earned a private pilot's license.[16] He owns or has owned at least three private aircraft, including a Cessna Citation 501 jet and a Cessna 414 twin-engine prop. In 2007 he purchased an Emivest SJ30[17] long-range private jet and took delivery in December 2009.[18] He is certified to fly all of them.[19]
Effective January 4, 2010, Freeman replaced Walter Cronkite as the voiceover introduction to the CBS Evening News featuring Katie Couric as news anchor.[20] CBS cited the need for consistency in introductions for regular news broadcasts and special reports as the basis for the change.[20]
As of 2010[update], Freeman is the host and narrator of the Discovery Channel television show Through the Wormhole.[21]
He was featured on the opening track to B.o.B's second album Strange Clouds. The track, "Bombs Away", features a prologue and epilogue (which leads in to a musical outro) spoken by Morgan Freeman.
In September 2011, Freeman was featured with John Lithgow in the Broadway debut of Dustin Lance Black's play, '8' — a staged reenactment of the federal trial that overturned California's Prop 8 ban on same-sex marriage — as Attorney David Boies.[22] The production was held at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York to raise money for the American Foundation for Equal Rights.[23][24]
Freeman was married to Jeanette Adair Bradshaw from October 22, 1967 until 1979.
He married Myrna Colley-Lee on June 16, 1984. The couple separated in December 2007. Freeman and Colley-Lee had adopted Freeman's step-granddaughter from his first marriage and together helped to raise her. Freeman's attorney and business partner Bill Luckett announced in August 2008 that Freeman and his wife were in divorce proceedings.[25] On September 15, 2010 their divorce was finalized in Mississippi.[26] There were subsequent rumors in tabloids that Freeman had been having a relationship with, and was even engaged to, his step-granddaughter E'dena Hines, which they each strongly denied.[27]
In 2008, the TV series African American Lives 2 revealed that some of Freeman's great-great-grandparents were slaves who migrated from North Carolina to Mississippi. Freeman also discovered that his Caucasian maternal great-great-grandfather had lived with, and was buried beside, Freeman's African-American great-great-grandmother (the two could not legally marry at the time, in the segregated South).[2] A DNA test on the series stated that he is descended from the Songhai and Tuareg peoples of Niger.
Freeman lives in Charleston, Mississippi, and New York City. He co-owns and operates Madidi,[28] a fine dining restaurant, and Ground Zero, a blues club, both located in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Freeman was injured in an automobile accident near Ruleville, Mississippi, on the night of August 3, 2008. The vehicle in which he was traveling, a 1997 Nissan Maxima, left the highway and flipped over several times. He and a female passenger, Demaris Meyer, were rescued from the vehicle using the "Jaws of Life". Freeman was taken via medical helicopter to The Regional Medical Center (The Med) hospital in Memphis.[29][30] Police ruled out alcohol as a factor in the crash.[31] Freeman was coherent following the crash, as he joked to a photographer about taking his picture at the scene.[32] His left shoulder, arm and elbow were broken in the crash and he had surgery on August 5, 2008. Doctors operated for four hours to repair nerve damage in his shoulder and arm.[33] On CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight he stated that he is left handed but cannot move the fingers of his left hand. He wears a compression glove to protect against blood pooling due to non-movement. His publicist announced he was expected to make a full recovery.[34][35] Meyer, his passenger, sued him for negligence, claiming that he was drinking the night of the accident.[36] Subsequently, the suit was settled.[37]
In an interview with CNN, Freeman denied the claim that he was a "man of God," saying that "the question of faith is whatever you actually believe is. We take a lot of what we're talking about in science on faith; we posit a theory, and until it's disproven we have faith that it's true."[38]
In 2004, Freeman and others formed the Grenada Relief Fund to aid people affected by Hurricane Ivan on the island of Grenada. The fund has since become PLANIT NOW, an organization that seeks to provide preparedness resources for people living in hurricane- and severe-storm afflicted areas.[39]
Freeman has worked on narrating small clips for global organizations, such as One Earth,[40] whose goals include raising awareness of environmental issues. He has narrated the clip "Why Are We Here," which can be viewed on One Earth's website.
Freeman has donated money to the Mississippi Horse Park in Starkville, Mississippi. The park is part of Mississippi State University. Freeman has several horses that he takes there.[41]
Freeman has publicly criticized the celebration of Black History Month and does not participate in any related events, saying, "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."[42] He says the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it, and he notes that there is no "white history month."[43] Freeman once said on an interview with 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace, "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man."[42] Freeman supported the defeated proposal to change the Mississippi state flag, which contains the Confederate battle flag.[44][45]
Freeman endorsed Barack Obama's candidacy for the 2008 presidential election, although he stated that he would not join Obama's campaign.[46] He narrates for The Hall of Presidents with Barack Obama, who has been added to the exhibit.[47][48] The Hall of Presidents re-opened on July 4, 2009 at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.[48]
Freeman joined President Bill Clinton, USA Bid Committee Chairman Sunil Gulati, and USMNT midfielder Landon Donovan on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, in Zurich for the USA bid committee's final presentation to FIFA for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[49]
Freeman sparked controversy in September 2011 when, on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, he accused the Tea Party movement of racism.[50]
Freeman: [the Tea Party's] stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What's, what does that, what underlies that? Screw the country. We're going to do whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we're going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.
Morgan: But is that necessarily a racist thing?...Wouldn't they say that about any Democrat?Freeman: It is a racist thing...[The rise of the Tea Party] shows the weak, dark underside of America. We're supposed to be better than that. We really are. That's why all those people were in tears when Obama was elected president. 'Ah look at what we are–this is America.' Then it just sort of started turning because these people surfaced–like stirring up muddy water.[51][52]
On October 28, 2006, Freeman was honored at the first Mississippi's Best Awards in Jackson, Mississippi, with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his works on and off the big screen. He received an honorary degree of Doctor of Arts and Letters from Delta State University during the school's commencement exercises on May 13, 2006.[53]

More allegations of clergy sex abuse arose this week and I know I'm not the only person suffering from a queasy sense of hopelessness about it.
Will. It. Ever. End?
The Ramsey County attorney's office and St. Paul police are reviewing documents suggesting that the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis failed to notify authorities of a child sex-abuse accusation against a St. Paul priest within 24 hours, as required by law.
Another potential coverup. More grief forced upon victims.
It's tempting to run away as fast as we can, to hope that someone else will stop it, fix it, assure that no child is ever again harmed. But talking with sex-abuse experts who step into this world daily reminded me that we need to stay invested.
They believe that we return to this place of unease, again and again, because sex abuse is an incredibly complex issue, with no singular solution. And research on sex abuse remains relatively new.
To make real change requires digging deeper with our questions and keeping our minds open to answers that might surprise or upset us. It also means consistent, unambiguous accountability by those in power.
To begin, we all want to see a profile of "the" sex offender and what exactly drives "his" behavior. We aren't going to get that.
"There are many differences in who sex offenders are and what motivates offending behavior," said Donna Dunn, executive director of the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MNCASA).
Some perpetrators are motivated by power and control. Others face mental health issues or sexual confusion. Some are pedophiles, although not all.
"When we think that the whole anti-sexual-assault world opened up just over 30 years ago," Dunn said, "it is easy to understand how the research is just now starting to touch on issues we didn't know much about before."
For instance, while we commonly believe that most sexual offenders were once victims of sexual abuse, that is more myth than fact. Most victims are female; the lion's share of perpetrators are male.
"A tiny minority of victims go on to become victimizers," said David Clohessy, executive director of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).
Most victims more commonly turn their pain inward and blame themselves, he said. Some exhibit self-destructive and numbing behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse, risky sexual activity, cutting and suicide.
"Many become misanthropes, living alone," he said.
A sex offender, on the other hand, did not become one in isolation. This is a tough but important concept to get our arms around.
While the needs of victims must come first, Dunn and Clohessy agree that attention also has to be given to perpetrators and proven prevention strategies. Those strategies need to begin early and receive adequate funding.
"When someone has been harmed in this way, the community has an obligation to ensure a safe and healing environment," Dunn said. "But our main prevention focus is really about preventing perpetration — changing the environmental factors that may play a role in supporting, teaching or ignoring offending behavior.

Poll: Fight obesity but keep junk food
WASHINGTON — Everyone could use a little help keeping those New Year's resolutions to slim down. But if it means the government limiting junk food, the response is an overwhelming, "No."
Americans call obesity a national health crisis and blame too much screen time and cheap fast food for fueling it. But a new poll finds people are split on how much the government should do to help — and most draw the line at attempts to force healthier eating.
