If you get a malicious review, just ignore it. If you get trolled on a forum or a blog, just ignore it. And if a troll vents his spleen on Twitter, just block the person and they won't bother you again.
The big question, though, is how long you have to ignore a troll before they move on and pick on someone else. Most trolls give up after a few weeks. A few will persevere for a month or two, especially on Twitter because Twitter makes it so easy for trolls.
But some really don't know when to give up. I've written before about Howard Jones, a man I have never met, never spoken to, and until he Tweeted about me, I'd never heard of.
Out of nowhere, back in March, Howard Jones posted a very strange Tweet. Someone had posted about a character called Mo Ansar being evasive and Howard Jones then Tweeted 'Makes Stephen Leather look easy to pin down.'
I didn't want to send him a public Tweet but then I noticed that he was following my Twitter account. I was following him and he was following me, and when two people follow each other they can send each other a direct message, a Tweet that only they can see. A private Tweet. So I sent Howard Jones a private Tweet, just for his eyes, saying that I wanted to get in touch with him. I asked him for a number so that I could call him. Unfortunately, instead of getting in touch as I'd asked, he then fired off four public tweets, for everyone to read.
In a series of Tweets, Howard Jones accused me of being behind a sockpuppet account that had been active on Twitter.
That is an absolute lie. The account is nothing to do with me. I Tweet through two accounts and both are clearly labelled with my name on the profile page, @stephenleather and @firstparagraph. Those are the only two accounts I use. I don't know why Howard Jones decided to make those allegations in public, but they are lies and I deserve an apology. I doubt I will get one, because Howard Jones has demonstrated an unwillingness to engage with me directly, he prefers to Tweet insults and lies.
Howard Jones was recently elected as a Conservative Councillor for Leatherhead North - and yes, I appreciate the irony that my name plays such a large part in his life. He changed his Twitter profile to let the world know of his new political office. He removed the word 'politician' and added 'Councillor For Leatherhead North'.
It was a close-won race. Howard Jones received 525 votes, only slightly ahead of Adrian Daniels of UKIP, who polled 512 votes, and Lib Dem Christopher Lloyd who got 519 votes.
I hope the fact that he now is in office means that he'll stop trolling me. It's one thing to be trolled by a member of the public. It's another to be trolled by a (non-practising) barrister. But if a Conservative Councillor for Leatherhead North takes to Twitter to harass someone they have never met or even spoken to, then that's a different matter. I'm sure that his constituents would rather he spent his valuable time looking after their interests than Tweeting baseless allegations about me. We shall see.
Howard Jones has just tweeted this:
In the Tweet he accuses me of being an Amazon fake reviewer.
Maybe he is confused, or maybe he is deliberately lying. I don't know. But the statement he made is a lie. And a lie told in public is a libel. As a barrister he would know that.
Here's the thing about Howard Jones. He is a barrister and barristers are governed by the Bar Code of Conduct which requires barristers to be courteous at all times. Clearly in my case he's being far from courteous so maybe I should complain to the Bar Standards Board? Or maybe I should ask the Conservative Central Office if they think he is behaving in a manner befitting an elected official representing the Conservative Party. Or get a lawyer to send him a "cease and desist" letter. Or do I just continue to ignore him? I just don't know. I just wish he would leave me alone.

When I drive through Mount Adams, there's only one thing that comes to mind. I couldn't tell you a thing about the bars, restaurants, real estate, shops or where to find parking, but, damn, I know the perch of that parking lot. "Shout it right now. You're a 10, Hannah Mae McCartney. We're not leaving until you do. I swear I will get in my car and leave you here if you don't." I remember wondering to myself if this scenario could possibly be any more corny.

I'm looking at an apartment at 10th and Madison in Covington. It's on the first floor and there's lots of sunlight. Also, in a roundabout way, I know the landlord. He's holding the place for me. My son and I looked at it again last week and I'm going to try and make this move happen. Thinking of this move to Covington puts in focus all my years living in Cincinnati.

Anymore, our situation is reminiscent of a mid-90's Britpop song. It's become the haves against the have-nots again, with the one caveat being many of the have-nots — perhaps as a result of a perpetuation of ignorance via our dilapidated educational system — have been boondoggled into joining the haves at their own expense with hopes, I guess, that the little money they pocket might be transubstantiated into gold at the local casino or, failing that, there's always that Good ol' American work ethic to fall back on.

Finally reaching downtown, I got off the bus on Fifth Street and as quickly as I could went to a hotel and used their restroom. This took a few minutes as I was fully paying the price for eating that oatmeal. Before leaving the restroom, I grabbed a hunk of toilet paper to wipe off my sweating face. I looked at my watch. I had 10 minutes to get to the interview.

Garbage Day

Two years ago I was renting a shitty, overpriced, one-bedroom apartment with a hole in the ceiling in the Clifton Heights area. Ever since I had moved out of the dorms, I had been weary of the neighborhood. I heard about my friends getting in fights for no reason while walking home and people getting their cars broken into. I never thought people could be so cruel to one another. I was naive.

In the mail and on the Internet, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is all over my ass. This started about six years ago when they learned that I had turned 50. Since then, their communication has been constant. The AARP wants me to be a member.

Sex and Friendship
Larry Gross
4 Comments · Wednesday, March 23, 2011
When it comes to sex and friendship, I think it's better not to mix the two. It's not a good idea to start out as friends with someone and then decide you want to sleep with them. If you want sex, date someone or just have sex with someone else for the sake of having sex. Don't let it get in the way of real friendships.

There is a responsibility and a joy that comes with living in a place that has a modicum of freedom. At a time in which lines are being drawn in the sand and decades-old regimes are being overturned in pursuit of it, we should perhaps show our solidarity by celebrating ours. This attempt begins in an unfortunate manner years ago: One afternoon I awoke to find an unsealed package addressed to myself sitting on the stoop.

I consider myself a lover of all animals and that includes birds, but more and more I find myself annoyed with all the damn pigeons downtown. I know they're simply part of urban life, but these flying rats are starting to get on my nerves.

The Best Babysitting Gig

My name is too hard to pronounce for a 2-year-old, so when my niece calls me she says, "Noo Noo." This was an improvement from my previous family nickname, which was "Nana." I suppose even at a young age I displayed the temperament of an Italian grandmother. Naturally the coolness of having such a nickname spread and caused jealousy within the family.

She Trusted Me

Through medication and therapy, my depression got better. Still, I couldn't bring myself to visit Phoebe at my son's place. I thought for sure she now hated me. I didn't know how I would react to that, but after my son bought his house, I knew I would need to pay a visit. I wanted to see his new home and, in turn, it was time to see Phoebe.

I stared at the clock. It meant little to me, only that there wasn't much time left. Dave was asleep. Or dead. I didn't care which. It seemed immaterial. It was immaterial. So, I propped my elbows back up on the windowsill and watched the spaceships attempt to complete their circle overhead. It was dark now. I got up to use the bathroom.

Walking around this winter in the snow has been a bit tricky at times. With that nerve damage in my feet, I can't feel the snow on the ground or on the sidewalks where I travel. It can be very scary, but during these winter months I've noticed something: There are people out there who have my back.

At the core, I long for both sides — the practical and the soulful connection. No, I don't expect this all of the time. I am realistic as well. The mountain woman, sure, she saw other people, and I was a mess, but how she often brought out the joy in me. The driveway man, sure, it was a one night stand. I guess I could see it like that. But he shook me up, pushing me to write, and I'm still at it.

I don't know for sure of Goodie's sexual orientation — don't know if he was gay, straight, bisexual or something else. What I do know is that 40 years ago, southern Indiana wasn't exactly a hotbed of sexual freedom.

A (political, cosmological or similar) system is made up of certain factions. But at least one of them is missing, its absence leaving a big hole that generates a lack of balance and harmony. When such a faction is missing, don't be surprised if there is one member left. A faction making a Face-Heel Turn or Heel-Face Turn qualifies only if its change of alignment leads to it no longer being a part of the system. If it's still a part of the system (although now in an antagonistic way), it's not this trope. Basically, a collective form of The Pete Best.

Ugh. Mondays. What could be worse? Atleast next week is Spring Break. VA Beach or BUST!! Atleast I hope my dad is taking us. I'll cry if we don't go. I love VA Beach.
Damnit sometimes I just want to kill myself for the simple pleasure that then people who think I'm chicken shit have to think twice. I fuckin' hate being home.. it's so straight! I mean my older sister wonders why I don't like being home and then tells me to swallow a fuckin' bottle of tylonel. Ugh. Her friends are so bitchy towards me.. well not all of them, just Maureen. Everyone think shes all nice and shit then she turns around and tells me to do it too. Sometimes I just hate life. But when I'm at school everythings great.. great friends, great classes with great friends... basically if I didn't have my friends then I don't know WTF I'd do. I just love them. It's just good to feel like someone cares about me because God knows no one at home does.. well yeah I guess my Mom and Dad "love me" or whatever, but it just feels like I don't belong.. and Aryn (older sister) just makes it more plain. I was like "Man Maureen, you're so annoying!" And Aryn said "Now you know what it feels like everytime you walk into this house!" I now know I made the right decision to move out, just because I guess it makes SOME people happy not having me around. Man, FUCK ARYN. She wants me to die so bad and one day I really will and then I hope she dies of guilt.. because she is the only person making me feel suicidal at the moment. I mean it used to be really bad, but now school is better, friends are better, drugs are better, LIFE in general is better. Thank God. Ok. I'm done ranting about this subject and that fuckin' bitch that I have to call my sister.

No doubt a lot of the outcome would depend on your own state laws.
This is a discussion on So what's done is done and now the cops are here... within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; No doubt a lot of the outcome would depend on your own state laws....
No doubt a lot of the outcome would depend on your own state laws.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
I know we have all seen the detective shows on TV. Just don't do what they always do on TV. If there is a weapon on the ground, DO NOT PICK UP A FALLEN WEAPON. You don't want your hair, blood, sweat, breath vapor, or anything else on a fallen weapon if it is not yours. Don't let anyone else pick it up, either.
I always laugh when someone on TV comes across a dead body, the first thing they do is to pick up the murder weapon. I know it's in the script, but come on, let's have a little reality once in a while.
"If you make something idiot proof, someone will make a better idiot."

I see no reason to unload the gun after the incident. As stated before, the cops will not be there instantly and you would be leaving yourself vulnerable.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
FL was the the 1st state to have the castle doctrine law in place. I believe since 1985. This year it was extended to wherever you might be if legally carrying (I always assumed this was the case in every state, and I was shocked to find out this was not the case). Also you cannot be subject to civil liability unless criminally charged. I am almost sure of this.
They certainly have the power to arrest you. A homicide (assuming the BG is dead) has occurred and you are the shooter. Whether it is a murder or not has yet to be determined.
I would ask to go to the hospital and get checked out. After that I would have no problem at all being arrested or at least being taken to the station for a while. Depending on the circumstances that could very well be the safest place to be for a while. The last place I would want to be is hanging out at the scene waiting for the deceased's family and friends to show up. I definitely don't want to be there when the TV crews show up.
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
IMO Most probably you wont be arrested. But the police must conduct an investigation. They will probably ask for some kind of a statement. I would make a simple statement beyond pedigree info. But that a personal choice. I wouldnt ask to go to the hospital if I didnt need to. While on the scene there is no reason to make a summary arrest as long as the subject is cooperative. I'd advise you to NOT unload the gun, but holster it. When the police arive allow them to unload it. In fact touch nothing. If you know where something is... direct the police to it.
If at home, my biggest concern is keeping the kids (pets) out of the now crime scene. Holstered weapon, and surfing the web looking for a lawyer to call while waiting for the first responders, and start making calls (work - may not be in for my next shift, family members, Lawyer if I find one - otherwise I leave it up to the wife or family to find one sine I am obviously going to be otherwise occupied for a long while, and likely will not be allowed to make any calls). Might think about putting on a pot of coffee.
In public...keeping any witnesses from leaving and talking to each-other, and keeping everyone out of the now crime scene, especially away from any weapons or evidence...while waiting for the first responders. Hopefully I will have some sort of mental facilities to start taking pictures of my own of any evidence that I know of just to make sure nothing gets missed or walks away.
Once the LEOs arrive, I will pretty much have the same responses as above.

As you are all aware by now (hopefully) I am a strong supporter of Law Enforcement. And I am a strong advocate locally and extremely vocal with my local council with regard to a precious few of them wanting to "part time" our full time officers & merge police stations with neighboring boroughs & voicing the need for our officers to have the latest & best equipment to work with.
There is a time to open your mouth & there is a time to keep quiet no matter how Pro Law Enforcement you might be.
Even if you ARE a Police Officer in addition to being a DC Forum Member - Watch these videos. Yes, they are fairly lengthy videos.
No matter if you are a civilian who carries for personal protection or you are Law Enforcement - you will understand exactly WHY a person should not talk to Police following a shooting & until advised by a qualified attorney.
I promise you all that you will discover reasons that you never even considered as a possibility after watching these 2 videos.
The "Part 2" speaker IS Law Enforcement.

QKShooter, you beat me to it. I was going to post those exact same two videos.
I only saw those a few months ago. Before that, I would have blabbed everything that happened to the cops, thinking I was doing the right thing. But after seeing those videos, I realized should I ever find myself in that situation that instead I will say the bare minimum that needs to be said. Basically, "I was attacked, I defended myself, I want a lawyer."
I don't want to give them any information because from the sound of it, nearly anything can be used against me even if I wouldn't think it could be at the time.
"Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." -Plato
Watch the video QKShooter posted. Absolutely eye-opening. SAY NOTHING to police. NOTHING. Your 911 call is evidence. Even something you think is helpful or innocent CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU.
If the gun has dropped, leave it if you can do so safely. This is now a crime scene. If you still have the gun, holster it or keep it near you, but not in hand. It will most likely be taken as evidence.
Chances are you will be arrested, and at the very least detained. Killing someone is a crime. It will take time for the cops and the prosecutors to decide if you will be charged or not.
And, this is kind of important, don't go around on internet forums saying you can hardly wait to blast some dirtbag. When officers arrive on the scene, what they should find is someone full of fear and remorse, who regrets having shot someone but was forced to because he had no other option to protect his own life or the lives of his family.
IF the DA decides he's going to nail you, everything from your NRA membership to your Glock underpants is going to be up for public scrutiny.
Wealthier people, who have attorney's on retainer, NEVER talk to the police without representation... many times they do not answer any questions for a very extended period! ( The Ramsey's, Tiger Woods, for examples...this list goes on and on). I agree with a simple statement of the facts, and when a question is asked saying " I feared for my life (and those of my family) and did what I had to to protect it (them). As I am sure you understand I am very upset right now and really have nothing further to say until I speak to an attorney..." Keep in mind, in ANY police interrogation, whether beside the road or wherever, it is NOT legal for you to lie to THEM, it IS legal for them to lie to you! Therefore, the moment you hear something that can't possibly be true, CLAM UP!!!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!! and exercise your right to have an attorney present during any questioning.

Men of a Certain Age Review: "The Pickup"by Dan Forcella at . Comments
Owen Thoreau has his life together.
After "The Pickup," though, the same cannot be said about either Joe Tranelli or Terry Elliott. At some points, the Big O was mostly laughing at the troubles of his employee, but at the end of the day he came through as a friend and helped pick Terry up by his boot straps.
Terry has never really handled adversity very well, but his antics here might have taken the cake. It's absolutely understandable to be in a funk after what Erin did to him. But going from melancholy, to adventurous, to stoned, to sexy time, to depressed, to mean and finally giving up... it sure isn't healthy.
That's not to say it wasn't fun watching him pick up the 20-something caterer at his own 50th birthday party. Nor was it less than hilarious seeing him wake up in what was most likely her dorm room, and even if it wasn't, then the magazine cutouts on her wall sure made it seem like one.
Terry's antics at work were also some of the funniest of the episode; from blatantly stealing Marcus' client, to sleeping in one of the cars on the lot, and finally losing it by backing a show car up into Marcus while he was trying to make a sale. The reaction from Marcus - punching Terry in the face a few times - was fantastic. Nothing like a little workplace violence.
While Terry's ridiculous behavior cost Thoreau Chevrolet its best salesman, and many future customers, Owen was not going to give up on his friend. When Terry said that he would be better off quitting, I was half -expecting O to let him go through with it. Nope. Not today. Not on his watch. A solid move by a friend to keep one thing in Terry's life stable. Now is the time for him to step his game up, and, as Owen said, "grow up."
Joe is having a major problem of his own, and it's one that might have even scarier consequences. I don't know how his golf game got so bad so fast, but he's got a serious case of the shanks, and sometimes it's really difficult to get out of that. By the way, shouldn't his coach try to help him out a bit instead of telling Joe to find a cheap coach nearby?
Down in the dumps because he is quickly watching his Senior Tour dreams flush themselves down the toilet, Joe made the big mistake of helping out a friend. What kind of a friend is Manfro, though? He knows Joe's deal and yet he continues to put him in tough situations regarding gambling.
Bad move by Manfro or not, Joe took the bait and picked up the money, which lead to him taking a bet. Here is where the once underrated acting skills of Ray Romano shined through. He played Joe as scared and nervous about taking on the bet and did is so well. And then when Chicago missed that shot at the buzzer, the excitement and exuberance was just pouring off of his face. Just like Joe, Ray can switch the light on and off with the such ease.
That ending sequence does have me nervous for what path Joe is going to head down now that Manfro seems to be out of commission as a bookie. I'm excited to see what happens, but scared for the character that I want to see succeed.
As mentioned at the top, Owen seems to be doing just fine as of now. We all know that won't last, but for the time being it's nice to see him happy and telling jokes like he's George Carlin.
What did you all think of "The Pickup?" And are you looking forward to the next episode to see what paths the three guys will go down?

I never expected to like this show because the ads looked so depressing and to be honest it's not light hearted at all but the performances are great. Owen is the stand out. He's the everyman trying to support his family. Terry and Joe are such screw ups in comparison but somehow you keep rooting for them that they'll figure it out. I felt for Terry but he can be such an idiot. Owen was right...grow up. Maybe if he pulls it together he can get Erin back at some point. I'd like to see that.
I really enjoy this series. To be accurate, though, Joe doesn't have a case of the shanks, he comes 'over the top' and pulls his iron shots, just the way Ray Romano does in real life. Of course, in real life, Joe would have as much of a chance of making the Senior Tour with that golf game as Charlie Sheen does of being named 'father of the year' lol
If I interpret it correctly, there's a great visual moment when Terry stares at the candle at the party. The candle is made to look somewhat like the silhouette of a woman. The candle is Erin, and simultaneously his 50th birthday. When he's staring at the candle he's looking at the arrival of his 50th birthday AND at a distant Erin who has departed, who would've made the 50th birthday have a purpose. Awesome.

All of this is good reason why Stevens was reportedly shortlisted by the Vancouver Canucks, Carolina Hurricanes and the Pittsburgh Penguins for their coaching vacancies … and good reason why the Los Angeles Kings aren't allowing him to speak with other teams.

Kyle Williams wants playoffs, badly
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 27 2012 1:50PM
By now we all know it's been 12 years since the Buffalo Bills made it to the post-season, and every building year serves as another to yearn for a spot in the playoffs once again.
Quietly, Kyle Williams has been around for the last half of that drought, six seasons in total. With a lot of new pieces in place and old faces being re-signed, the defensive tackle knows this could be the Bills' best shot as any in recent memory to get back to the playoffs.
Perhaps that's a bit of the reason why he responded to a question about playoffs being the expectation with such force and finality. It's been a long time for Bills fans, and he's never seen the post-season. Williams is certainly ready for them.
"Those should always be expectations. Those should always be what you're striving and working for," he said Thursday. "Because if you're not, you don't need to be here. We don't want you on the team. If you're here just to hang around and collect a check, go away. We want to go to the playoffs, that's what we're here for."
Thursday also served as the first practice of training camp, and another step in the right direction for Williams as he attempts to come back from foot surgery. The seventh-year pro from LSU talked about how it felt after the first session.
"It felt good today. We went out on the grass and I've kind of made some changes in my footwear that took a little stress off of it. It felt pretty good today, hopefully it will just continue to get better and better."
Practice continues through mid-August at St. John Fisher College.

Heading into the holidays while already struggling to stay on track has been a big concern for me. But, I got up yesterday and took my dog for an extra long walk before putting together the veggie tray to take to our holiday gathering. Loads of veggies and low fat dip.
I enjoyed wonderful company, I ate good food, I played (and won!) Bananagrams and watched two great movies. I ate a slice of my favorite pecan pie with no crust (haven't found a gluten free crust that was worth the carbs and calories).
Today I am well rested and pleased that while I went over my typical calorie allotment by 300 calories, it is significantly better than past Thanksgivings. I was in control.
I hope that you had a successful Thanksgiving holiday.
Keep Sparkin!
It feels good to be back on track. For a few weeks I had felt like a tidal wave had rushed in and pulled me out to see. I knew what I needed to do, because I had done it before, but I just couldn�t reach the shore. I just didn�t seem to have the strength to do what I needed to do.
So, I have focused on one day at a time. One meal at a time. One exercise session at a time. And it�s working. I have already seen a small downward movement in the scale, though my official weigh in isn�t until next Wednesday.
This week�s successes include:
� Drinking 8 or more glasses of water each day!
� Sticking to my modified South Beach Diet and paying attention to portion sizes!
� Being more prepared with healthy snacks and lunches ready to take to work!
� Eating five fruits and veggies each day and usually more!
� Increasing my physical activity each day! I didn�t work out to the extent that I was a few weeks ago, but I have moved my body more and walked more than in the past couple of weeks.
As a result, I am beginning to feel better about where I am in life and in my continued striving for better health.
Today, I raise my glass of water to all my Spark Friends who daily encourage and motivate me.
The last few weeks have been particularly difficult. I have regained 6 pounds.
I have been dealing with a very emotional personal situation, long hours and stress at work and my old friend, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), decided to rear her ugly head.
Over the past months, I have made great strides incorporating healthy choices into my life. I have been working to create a healthy lifestyle, not just a diet that will allow me to fit in jeans one size smaller.
When things began to crumble around me, I began to pick up old coping skills. The chips were invited back into the house followed by the ice cream, pushing aside my stockpile of vegetables. I curled up on the couch with a quilt and the TV remote instead of heading to the gym. I became tired and listless and increased my coffee intake. Now, exhausted and bloated I certainly couldn�t even begin to think of going to the gym or walking the dog more than a block.
But, that is the old me with the old set of maladaptive coping skills. Those old coping skills only put a band-aid on the problem. It doesn�t cure it.
A number of times in the past several months, I have come across the saying �A year from now you will wish you started today.�
So, I am starting today again. I am going back to my core plan. It works and I know that I can do it. So as of this moment, I am back to the basics:
� Eating my modified South Beach plan
� Eating 5 or more servings of vegetables each day
� Walking or taking a class at the gym for at least 30 minutes 5 days per week
� Drinking 8 or more glasses of water daily
And I�m going to focus on nourishing my soul, caring for the emotional side until I can get through this time in my life. Some things in life you can�t go around, you must go through them. This is one of those times for me. So each day, regardless of how difficult it is, I will take at least 20 minutes to do something that truly nourishes my spirit.
� Read a spiritual book
� Take a bubble bath
� Get a pedicure
� Write
� Paint
� Have coffee with a friend
� Try a new recipe
� Take a walk in a new park
� Meditate
� Listen to music
The more joy and health that I add to my life, the less room pain and suffering have. I choose happiness. I choose health.
Today was my measurement day. I restarted SparkPeople two months ago today. The numbers are awesome!
I've lost 18.6 pounds. That's 6.5% of my body weight!
I'm down 3 inches in my waist.
I'm down 4.25 inches in my hips.
Makes the hard work seem not quite so hard. I'm really excited because I've noticed that my fitness level has improved dramatically. I have more energy and am able to work out longer and harder. As a result, I've added Zumba and Spinning in each week. I'm going hiking again this weekend and maybe for a bike ride (weather permitting).
I feel as though the life which was pulled out from under me three years ago is back and it's going to be even better because I have consciously decided that health and fitness are a way of life for me, not just an occasional stop along the way.
Last week was another challenging week. I had over scheduled my days almost every day. As a result, I spent most of my time running from meeting to meeting, task to task. Then the weekend came and I repeated the cycle with running from event to event.
The good news? My schedule was extra full because I had plugged in a new yoga class and a new cycling class! And over the weekend was an outing to Rainbow Lake with friends. They fished and I decided to take an impromptu hike around the lake. Awesome! A year ago I would have been content to sit on the bank and watch the fish bite, yesterday I couldn't wait to get moving.
Maybe fitness is becoming a habit?

Because my husband fell in so we weren't able to make it in December. We had a wonderful time in the summer and fully intend to return in the New Year. We highly recommend the hotel and can't wait to return in 2015!
Could not work whilst staying here.
The road leading to the bridge filled with potholes. Hazardous walking from the car park to the hotel. Very poor lighting in the carpark & very badly lit from the bridge to the hotel. Rooms - bed very very uncomfortable, poor pillows. Windows would not open all paint peeling around the sills. Very poor.
Location excellent. Staff great. Dinner was good
The bed was awful. Uncomfortable, lumpy and sloping. The room was basic and the shower was more like a drip than a shower.
Lovely environment - very different from the usual hotel
Fairly small rooms
Location, looks lovely from the outside
Room was fine but generally the hotel felt very tired and uncared for. Breakfast was very poor
Relaxed atmosphere, wonderful location and friendly and efficient staff.
Nice views
Room a little small
We absolutely loved this hotel! OK so it is a little jaded and could do with an update but the staff are wonderful and the setting extraordinary. We didn't sleep so well as were in room 17 (Don't have that room!) and the boiler was so noisy we couldn't sleep after 3am! But we reported it to Reception at the time and the manager in the morning who dealt with it well. The manager said that really he would have expected another room to have been made available to us despite the hour and as a result he have us a generous discount. It was just 'one of those things' and not only forgiven but we will be returning. The breakfast was fabulous too - all in all a great hotel for one night or a longer stay.
A little refurbishment is required - room 17 one of the blinds does not work and the other blind only raises half way for example.
The location was good and the bar food was excellent
the rooms although we paid for a deluxe double it was far from deluxe standard, the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows very hard. The bathroom was old and the toilet seat falling off. Overall the standard was very poor
Location and building was really lovely
My room 5 was old and tired. The bathroom had seen better days as had the wallpaper. My heater did not work so asked to be moved. I was moved to room 7 which was as bad as room 5 and the heater in this room didn't work either. I complained at the reception and was given a heater in my hands to carry to the room. This was a convector heater which was on all night. This gave me a severe sore throat in the morning. The breakfast was okay but the staff were not very forthcoming in directing me to it. I had to leave the building in the poring rain to get to the separate breakfast room.
-the gardens -the proximity to Bray village and to Maidenhead and to the M4 -the helpfulness of the reception staff
-internet was poor -the whole bedframe and mattress needed replacing along with the pillows -proximity to M4 meant it was noisy with windows open and with no air conditioning in the room we needed the windows open
Shabby bathroom - light out above sink, tiny, things broken, window blinds had cobwebs on them, one was broken so major job to get blind back up, couldn't get sash window to stay open, room smelled of sweaty feet!
how it would have been before M4 arrived
M4. tiredness of room. poor quality of breakfast especially the watery coffee.
Pleasant reception staff Good location as we were attending The Fat Duck for dinner Beautiful location
Rooms shabby, tiles blown in bathroom and dirty grout. Rooms need refurb Wfi reception poor No bedside lamps Bathroom shaver light not working
Motorway noise, unable to close window, broken blind. Unclean unhygienic bathroom, broken toilet seat, cracked bath. Poor Restaurant stained carpet, dirty glasses. Bar very expensive no nuts only plain crisps. 'Extensive grounds' covered in bird droppings
'Different' location. Room was pleasant.
'Wifi' only really worked in downstairs lobby area. Not possible anywhere else. A big downside if you want to work in your room.
Location, location, location. This was my second visit. There are celebrity pubs to eat at in nearby Bray village. For the conclusion of a hire car based UK tour, this is an alternative to staying at Hounslow etc. before flying out of LHR. Windsor is 6 miles away.
The WiFi connection is none existent. It could be fixed for a few pounds (spent at Maplin in Maidenhead?) for a cheap WiFi extender to plug in somewhere in the hotel reception area.
The gardens and the location. Waking up on the River Thames with wide life around was very exciting
The rooms was a little dated although they had tried to fix it up. The bed was old and well used
Location was lovely Bray village is very nice
Beds were uncomfortable. The decor & furniture in the bedroom needs updating
It was convenient for the dinner I was attending in Bray. The staff were attentive and friendly.
A general lack of investment. Window locks broken, blinds torn, carpet old. No thing disastrous but... Very clost to the M4.
Fantastic location.
Beautiful location
Terrible service
Great spot, but would have expected a rather better restaurant

The 5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: May 24
2. Dimon Defeats Dumbest
It wasn't a shocker like "Dewey Defeats Truman," but Jamie Dimon's blowout victory Tuesday sure was surprising considering all the ink spilt over the election.
To be honest, it kind of makes us feel dumb for thinking it was going to be an issue.
Jamie Dimon will get to keep his chairman and CEO titles at JPMorgan Chase (JPM), ending weeks of uncertainty over his future at the country's largest bank. The tally from the bank's annual meeting showed 32.2% of the shareholders voted in favor of a proposal to split the chairman and CEO roles. That is down -- yes, down! -- from 40% the proposal received last year, definitively proving Dimon's threat to walk if he lost the vote was a game-changer. Shares of JPMorgan jumped 1.4% Tuesday to finish at $53.Shareholders also voted to reelect all the board members including the three members of the risk committee -- Honeywell CEO David Cote, James Crown, president of private investment company Henry Crown and Company and Ellen Futter, president of the American Museum of National History. What can we say? Color us wrong. All the dangers highlighted in the endless columns -- including yours dumbly -- about the best possible corporate governance at a bank which holds over $2.3 trillion in assets proved pointless.
London Whale, London Schmale. Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Schmail. The shareholders wanted, and got, their man. But what about us non-shareholders who didn't get a chance to vote? What do we get from Jamie consolidating his power at an organization large enough to bring down the American economy? We already have the unelected Fed Chief Ben Bernanke on the buy side, what's our upside for having an equally omnipotent Jamie Dimon on the sell side? Well, we get succession risk for one. While everybody is having a conniption about who will take over Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) when Warren Buffett steps down, that's not our concern at all. He runs an insurance company and owns a lot of stock. Big deal. Jamie, on the other hand, effectively runs a quasi-branch of the U.S. government. If he should fail at both roles -- and we are not saying he will -- then taxpayers will be on the hook for his mistakes, no matter what anybody says about living wills and resolution authorities. That much we learned from Lehman CEO and Chairman Dick Fuld (not to equate the two) during the 2008 bank crisis. And that's why the JPMorgan shareholder vote held larger consequences than hurting Dimon's feelings. "We intend to have a competent and capable successor to Jamie. But we hope that time is much in the future . . . I have no illusions that we would be able to clone Jamie," said lead director Lee Raymond. There you have it fellow Americans. If, heaven forbid, Jamie Dimon gets hit by a bus or eats a bad shrimp, the former CEO of ExxonMobil will be right there to dig into the banks derivative positions until a lesser man than Jamie's clone can assume the position. Sleep tight, folks. And don't forget to say a prayer for Jamie Dimon before bedtime. The future of your retirement is in his hands and that's the only say non-shareholders get.

Melrose Place Season Finale Review: Ella Sims By Knockout!!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
The second iteration of Melrose Place had its share of ups and downs.
After last night's epic season finale, though, all we can say is that the clash of WPK titans actually lived up to the hype, and that if the CW doesn't suck it up and give MP a second season, some interns here at TVF are seriously gonna break $h!t.
In our review of "Wilshire," we begin with the undercard, so to speak, before leading up to the heavyweight bout. First up? David trying to fix things with Lauren.
Unfortunately, Morgan is bat$h!t insane and doing her best Violet impression, only Melissa Ordway has more acting chops in her left pinky than Ashlee Simpson.
In any case, Lauren shows up at Coal to congratulate David on his achievements when Morgan basically pulls an Alpha Female move and calls dibs on him. Snap.
He chases after Lauren and they make up. All is right with the world ... until Morgan's dad shows up to kick David's ass for stealing from him and hurting Morgan.
This show is the best.
Hey, look at that. The L.A. County jail called - they're runnin' outta you!
Better still, Morgan's dad threatens to spare David if he works for him as a thief! If he refuses, than Lauren will pay. PAY! This guy is cut from the Dr. Mancini cloth!
Speaking of the evil doctor, Lauren reveals to Drew that she was called to help him install another one of his heart valves in a patient, which Drew takes issue with.
Drew confronts Mancini about his faulty device, and while he appears to listen, he's always got a plan. Diabolical SOB. Thomas Calabro just kills us every week.
On cue, security guards search Drew's locker and find oxycotin pills. Do not eff with an effer, as we once heard on Gossip Girl, could be the evil doctor's tagline.
After a season in the shadows, Lauren decides to make things right, telling everyone about the poisonous valve, and enraging Mancini beyond words. OMFG.Riley and Jonah (try to stay awake) decide to go to an NYU mixer as friends. Jonah has a change of heart and wants Riley back, but she tells him he blew it. Burn.
At the party, Jonah confesses to Ella, who is not happy. She does thank Jonah for helping her realize she can be in a relationship, but just not with his dumb a$$.
So basically, Jonah is an idiot, which we have been saying for weeks, and he's just coughed up not one but two insanely hot girls. Call us, Katie and Jessica?
That's not quite all for Riles. In another stunning twist, she opens up about Jonah to Drew, who then confides that he's quite possibly gonna be dead soon.
He's got one of Mancini's toxic heart valves himself ... WTF!
Finally, the battle of the bombshells ... babes ... businesswomen ... bitches ... other words starting with B. It's Amanda vs. Ella for all the marbles. Last call for bets.
Amanda talks to a Mr. Lao about bringing him the Sydney Andrews original, which means she's pinpointed a location ... but then the original Sydney herself arrives!
As a figment of Amanda's imagination, that is. Or a hallucination. A dream? Who the frick knows. All we can say is that it's obnoxiously cheesy, but we still love it.
Ella tries to butter up Amanda, but she has proof of her dalliance with David. Ella ponders why she chose to model herself after a cold-hearted bitch. Mmm hmm.
Round 1 goes to Woodward when she smacks Ella AND fires her.
When ghosts are taunting you, it's a rough night.
Ella stops by Riley's looking for Jonah, but instead spots the painting and the light bulb goes on! Ella now has it in her possession. Safe to say Ella wins Round 2.
We're just getting started, though. Amanda breaks into Drew's apartment. Ella catches her and gloats about her new leverage. Amanda looks like a lost puppy.
In exchange for it, all Ella wants is her own PR company and all the clients she signed for WPK. And funding. And all this in writing. Done, done, done and done!
For good measure, Sydney shows up to taunt Amanda. So wrong, yet so right.
The final round comes when Ella arrives to collect, Amanda tries to turn the tables by saying she didn't read the fine print, but Ella turns them right back on her.
She had a P.I. take photos of her with the stolen painting. Game, set, match!
As the FBI shows up to arrest Amanda, we see that PK (formerly WPK) has put Ella in charge of the LA office. Amanda vows: "This war is just the beginning."
We hope that's true. But if this is truly it for Melrose Place, we can safely say it was a fittingly over-the-top conclusion with Ella Sims dethroning the ice queen.
What did you think of the Melrose Place season finale? Should the CW renew the show? Are you pleased with the ending if it does not?

its been a while already but i really like this show.. so i would love for the CW to bring back mp. it was one of the best shows as well as hell cats.
please bring back melrose place season 2 please it was great fcuk the critics !!!!!!!
So sad,MP was a nice movie full of suspense,love, romance etc what's more to ask than for you guys to release season 2..
i don't like how the season 1 end, it end when d series is getting interesting, pls help us bring melrose place back.
This is by far the best show that I have ever seen !! I was so excited for season two, but now that I found out it has been cancelled devastated me! It was getting so interesting. I would LOVE to see season two!!!
we need season two please
I have been watching this show since I was a teenager. Have the original dvd's of the show. I got into this and I hear they are NOT bringing it back. But all the other vampire S#@T I could care less about I can't get away from. PLEASE put this back on the air it was getting really good. And no more supernatural BS Please!!
I used to watch Melrose from the 90's then it came back again and i was like wow!new and young characters on my screen once again.I'm a great fun watched seson1 thrice while waiting for season2 only to find out to my disappointment that the show as been cancelled.Please consider your decision.
I happened to like Melrose place 2.0 (2009). I don't think its fair that it got cancelled and yet Top Model and Smallville get more seasons. Smallville is just dumb now and Top Model has been done over and over again.
for all the fans of MP who want a next season we hace a support group for this in facebook :The Official Campaign to Bring Melrose Place 2.0 to CBS thanks


text: Nick Saban flamed out in Miami. Romeo is on life support in Cleveland. Even Charlie Weis, as a college coach, is taking hits for not having beaten a top team (and as I write this ND is losing to LSU 14-0). Eric Mangini has certainly been a big success in his first year with the Jets, but is the market bubble for Belichick associates about to burst? Certainly the assumption that any of Belichick's lieutenants are automatic winners as NFL head coaches had to have taken a hit lately. Yes, Mangini may be a Mangenious, but buying BB is as much of a crapshoot as buying any other coaching candidate. Will perception follow reality? Will the NFL GM's and owners stop salivating at the thought of stealing someone, anyone, from BB's staff? Hopefully so. What do you think?

Robot as a platform - Google upgrade their hardware ambitions
Posted by Anthony Mullen on December 17, 2013
- 11 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Some exotica for the end of the year: Yesterday I did an interview with the French publication Nouvel Observateur on Google's recent robotics acquisition Boston Dynamics. Google has been acquiring robotics companies hand over fist during 2013, and it's quite a reveal of how they are planning for the Google of tomorrow - something of interest to almost every brand. Here is my short take:
1. Why did Google decide to invest in robotics?
Robots, like smartphones, are platforms for products and services. Data-obsessed organisations like Google need to ensure that they aren't disinter-mediated in the 'last mile' to the user, and that means getting involved in the physical world with hardware. Google is steadily moving from their position in the ether with search algorithms towards a more connected physical world - from their smartphones and Android operating system to their work on Android@Home. The robotics play here is essentially on the same trajectory - control and influence in the 'last mile,' where data is gleaned from the physical world and activities performed are informed by intelligence from the cloud and edge networks. It's a good fit for Google, and after Kurzweil joining them to head up AI, I'm not surprised things have moved so quickly in 2013.
2. Is there any logic to these investments?
Yes. Google is working on artificial intelligence projects that have a major overlap with the world of robotics - an increasingly adjacent domain for them. Their investments in AI techniques like visual, audio, and text recognition are software competencies which will bolster a robot's ability to handle unstructured environments. Further, their work in appraising context through experiments like Google Now will continue to mature and be leveraged not just by smartphone owners but by autonomous and semi-autonomous robots.
3. Is the world ready to have more robots in everyday life?
I'm certainly keen to upgrade my own dumb Roomba robot hoover to something with a bit more personality! Unfortunately, I don't think we will see much coming down the pipe for the majority of consumers in the next five years, but manufacturing will begin to use them more for warehouse and logistics functions. Receptiveness to robots in our culture will vary across the world - the Japanese, for example, have a growing ageing population with fewer children to take care of them, so it's no surprise that robotic innovations for care of the elderly were pioneered in Japan. A country with high unemployment would see things differently, of course.
4. Could Google be a major actor in the robotics market?
Certainly. Some of the major mechanistic and engineering challenges have now been overcome such as balance, walking, running, and dexterity of movement, so the next challenge will be to make robots smarter with regards to how they operate within an environment - either privately or publicly. This is where Google's AI competencies and depth of data can move things forward.
5. What kind of robots do you think Google will create?
In private, they will be creating early prototypes of Androids (humanistic features), service bots, and pets, leveraging their AI capabilities, but I think the first deployments will be industrial in nature, such as automating the supply chain for their Google Shopping service to ensure they can compete with Amazon.
Today we are working out how to be relevant on a smartphone, but can you envisage your brand operating on a robotic platform in the next five to 10 years?

Definition of the noun SHCHI
What does SHCHI mean as a name of something?
noun - plural: shchis
- A type of soup from Russia made from cabbage.
Shchi is a Russian soup with cabbage as the primary ingredient. Its primary distinction is its sour taste, which usually originates from cabbage. When sauerkraut is used instead, the soup is called sour shchi, and soups based on sorrel, spinach, nettle, and similar plants are called green shchi. In the past, the term sour shchi was also used to refer to a drink, a variation of kvass, which was unrelated to the soup.

Viking Reviews and Testimonials
We like all our products from Viking, Refrigerator & Freezer, 30" Electric Range & Oven, 30" ovens and Warming Drawer.
Edward Lunaas
Westerly, Rhode Island - October 19, 2013
I LOVE my suite of Viking Professional line Appliances - not only do they look fantastic, but cooking and cleaning is a breeze! (In my kitchen we have a Viking microwave/vent hood, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher and gas range oven in stainless steel.) They are so fun to use, my husband has been helping in the kitchen a lot more! He remodeled the kitchen and laundry/butler room, and even put an additional Viking dishwasher in for when we entertain!
We are now in the process of remodeling the den and are planning to include a beverage bar complete with a Viking mini-fridge, wine cooler and ice maker! I had been asking to get Viking Appliances for well over 10 years; my husband questioned the cost per appliance versus less expensive brands. He would try to convince me that other less expensive brands were a better choice because he thought kitchen appliances were all the same basically. (My husband is a car guy, so to me, that was like saying a Studebaker and a Rolls Royce were the same - they both transport!) I frequently would get him to look at these Viking beauties in the showroom, but it would always come back to the costs. I discovered that he was doing research on these appliances on his own. Much to my surprise, he began to tell me about the positives of what he was learning from that research!
When we moved into our current home, the kitchen was barely tolerable; I HATED going in there...old, ugly, mismatched appliances that came with the house and they were not reliable - I had a double-oven wall unit (from a different company) with a turkey, side dishes and pies baking, and had a house full of guests. It was a disaster; those other brand ovens completely quit working in the middle of that dinner preparation! I was scrambling to come up with something to help the situation, it was embarrassing and disappointing to say the least! Not long after that, we began the remodeling of the kitchen and laundry/butler room. This time, my husband enthusiastically agreed upon the Viking appliances! Now I love spending time in the kitchen and my husband does too! He saw how much fun I was having and wanted to get in on it also! My husband now tells me that if we ever move again, we will get Viking appliances, if they are not already there! I even have several small Viking kitchen appliances; Viking takes food preparation to a whole new level of enjoyment and ease!

Tyler, Texas - October 13, 2013
As the CEO of a service company, for over 25 years, I am often called upon to speak to customer service issues as they pertain to my industry. However, there are many common threads that connect ALL service industries. The reality, for anything that is "man-made", is that most material items may eventually be the subject for service or replacement. As a manufacturer, it is an obligation to honor warranty status as it pertains to defects within a specified period of time. Many people tell me that their "customer service" experiences are disappointing in most cases. This factor of disappointment is often the result of a "lack of customer service".
IMHO, Jamie Phillips has exemplified the best of what is possible for a customer service representative. Let it be known, that in my case in particular, it was indeed Jamie who worked hard and diligently throughout my Viking outdoor grill issues. As my frustration levels increased, Ms. Phillips maintained her commitment to me/the customer, and was relentless in her efforts to get to a point of resolve. The Viking company can thank Ms. Phillips for recovering me as a customer.
Although my experience was frustrating, causing great inconvenience to me for nearly an entire season, Ms. Phillips maintained a clinical AND reassuring posture despite the very high levels of frustration. In closing, I hope this letter reaches all the powers that be, that there is someone in Viking's employ who should be noted, commended, and definitively recognized as a shining example of what is best in a customer service context.

We had remodeled our original home 15 years ago. At that time we installed a Viking stove / range that was great. We sold our home of 30 years one month ago and moved downtown to a new condo. All the appliances are Viking, two ovens, stove top, refrigerator, wine / beverage center, and finally dishwasher. We are very excited, and having Viking appliances help seal the deal!

Jamie, the service rep I dealt with to get the door and temp problems fixed, did a great job. She made sure the two issues would be fixed in one appointment. Then Miss Jamie followed up with me last week after the service was complete, and while I was out of the office on sick leave last week, all week, dealing with my abdominal/intestinal issues, and then again on Monday.

I have been so pleased with all of my Viking appliances. I would highly recommend them for their impressive design and superior quality performance.

For the past few years I have been the proud owner of a Viking Free standing Side by Side Refrigerator and Dishwasher and I can't say enough wonderful things about these 2 appliances. The refrigerator is a dream and the dishwasher is so quiet that I have to put my hand on it to see if it's running! Dishes come out sparkling clean and good and dry. My plan is to complete my Viking collection with the purchase of my dream appliance - a Viking open burner range sometime soon - then my kitchen will be complete!

When my husband and I bought our home we decided to remodel the kitchen. We purchased a full Viking Professional kitchen. We could not be happier with our decision. It not only performs well it looks beautiful in our home. I am most proud of the dual fuel range, which cooks my food quickly and evenly. I also love that their products are made in the U.S.A. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
