Hospitals must tout feelings over facts
Stealing Nashville's Heart
- E.J. Boyer
- Staff Reporter- Nashville Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Kim Fox knows what works and what doesn't when it comes to drawing more patients to a hospital.
Fox is a vice president at Jarrard Phillips Cate & Hancock, a Nashville-based health care public affairs firm. She has more than 20 years experience in hospital and health care marketing, serving as a regional marketing director for Nashville-based Iasis Healthcare and, previously, as marketing director for Tennessee Christian Medical Center.
We turned to Fox to see how savvy consumers and national health care reform are changing how hospitals market to their communities.
As patients get more savvy, are traditional marketing tactics like hospital billboards still effective?
Any kind of promotion that is a one-off thing does not work, and it never has. So putting just a billboard up does nothing. An integrated marketing campaign is still effective; you're just using different tools now. As we all know, social media has changed the world and marketing as well. You have to figure out how to engage people as opposed to just talking at them.
What drives volume in hospital marketing: statistics, awards, technology or a hospital's people?
We in the business like to think that data moves people to make a decision, and it just doesn't. Health care is still an emotional decision. A patient equates quality with how they treated me in the hospital. That's not quality, but that's what they think quality is. Throwing a bunch of numbers at them does not work, telling them we have the coolest robot on the planet does not work. It will get some attention for about five minutes, but it's still about the emotional connection someone has with any company, especially in health care.

Dirty bas.tard maybe I should dredge up some of the 'Corey Dillon is done' threads from before the DoS? gotta figure that BO'R must have made a wayward comment in some early breakdowns...?
Sorry, the real deal beat you to it months ago, but for some reason, even from heaven, I had to re-register after the fourm hack a little while ago. Anyway, here's the definitive answer....... Corey's done, it's over, look for 15 yards rushing against the Jags this weekend. So sad.
I double dog dare you - and if you find one, you can tell him the truth, I'm Kevin Mannix enjoying my retirement at the dead hacks club.
I've thought so too for some time. But you're overlooking the pow!er of this O-line and the wham! blocking of FB Ashworth. He gets 50 yards at least. Even if he doesn't deserve them. We really need a power RB here ... now that Antowain is gone.
I always enjoyed reading McDonough. Being Irish myself I always take these stories with a grain of salt.
Hey, I'm a real poster not a gimmick. But I'm enjoying the ghost stories. Oh, and Corey's old and washed up. And his Mama wears Army boots. :bricks:
i look for 25+ carries and about 120 yds. from CDill saturday. And thus the stampede will be unleashed.
corey, drink the kool-aid all i want is for corey to step into the patriot groupthink right now.it should fit well for him. i love the rodney dangerfield "just don't get no respect" thing brady put out there tuesday. laughed out loud. yeah, a lot of media folks ran off on them after 8 games. it's a valid attitude. but the two-time Defending World Champions, in any sport, are not generally complaining about "don't get no respect". so cocoon on, fellas--remember rodney!! the "Dangerfield Defense." hey--- if "disrespected" is the dilitheum crystals our boys need to fuel their warp drive, so be it.

There's no shortage of post-Inaugural commentary available on the web today. So I'll keep this short.
But I have to say that the CNN/Facebook integration absolutely rocked. Look at this:
On the left, had my workplace's network not been jammed with other streams, you'd see CNN's coverage. On the right, though, is where the magic happens. Those are my Facebook friends, talking about what's happening live.
Yes, chat has been done before. And, yes, live streaming video has become commonplace. But the combination of the live stream and my personal friendstream seems to me to be a real leap forward.
Recently, David Carr got a lot of attention for suggesting newspapers need an iTunes of their own. In his case, he was speaking of Apple's ability to get web users to pay for content, a topic which has presented an obstacle for traditional news operations. But I think this is a far more profound iTunes/iPod Moment right here in that CNN, like Apple does so well, hasn't really created anything new, but given us an easy-to-use tool that presents existing ideas in new and surprising ways.
There are no instructions needed. You see an event happening. You see your friends. You know what to do, and you dive right in.
What do you think? Did any news organization raise the bar higher than CNN did with this brilliant mashup of Facebook and their live stream?
UPDATE: C.C. Chapman posted a video about this during the event yesterday. "Do you see that? That's the world changing right there."

Former Mayor Tony Lombard presents his portrait to the City Hall
Former Mayor Tony Lombard has presented his Mayoral portrait in commemoration of his term as Mayor of Gibraltar to the City Hall. 2015 is the bi-centenary of the building which was completed 15 February, 1815.
Picardo pushes ahead with Madrid speech
The Gibraltar Government plans to side-step attempts to stop Chief Minister Fabian Picardo from addressing an audience in Madrid and will host the event itself.
Mr Picardo had been due to address the prestigious Nueva Economia Forum on February 3 but the invitation was withdrawn for what the organisers described as "reasons of State".
Tradewise 2015 attracts world No 4
Ranked fourth in the world, Bulgarian GM Veselin Topalov, is the highest rated player ever to take part in Gibraltar at the Tradewise International Chess Festival.
Topalov, Nakamura, and Hou Yifan are the big names in the thirteenth edition of the Festival which begins today at the Caleta Hotel.
"For the world No. 3 Veselin Topalov to play in Gibraltar is an indication of how far we have come in 13 years," emphasises tournament director Stuart Conquest.
Gibraltar would have thwarted any 'Sintra process' – Canepa
Today - by Dominique Searle
A political torpedo would have ensured that Anglo-Spanish talks planned for April 3 1982 in Sintra, Portugal would not have put UK and Spain on track for an "irreversible" agreement on Gibraltar, as has been claimed by former Spanish diplomat Jose Cuenca.
Adolfo Canepa, now Speaker but at that time Chief Minister Sir Joshua Hassan's right hand man, told the Chronicle yesterday that the Gibraltar delegation - including the then Governor Sir William Jackson - would have simply walked out.
"I cannot see that any Gibraltar delegation would have agreed to any irreversible process for an irreversible solution," Mr Canepa says emphatically.
"If they had attempted to move on that kind of process we would have simply walked out."
Gib frontier 'should have been demolished" - diplomat
Jose Cuenca, the Spanish diplomat who was Director for Europe in the 1980s under Foreign Minister José Pedro Pérez-Llorca has declared that he believes that the frontier should never have been closed in 1969 but "nor should it have been opened."
Sr Cuenca recently revealed in his autobiography how close UK and Spain were to taking agreed papers to a ministerial meeting in Sintra that would have "led irreversibly to an irreversible solution on Gibraltar."

Spain must comply with border findings Garcia tells Commission
The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has told the European Commission that Gibraltar has now complied with all the recommendations made to it in relation to the border and that it is about time that Spain complied with those made to them. These comments were made during the last day of Dr Garcia's visit to Brussels in a meeting with the Director General of Home Affairs, whose department is responsible for the investigation into the frontier. He briefed them and presented a dossier for December 2014.
Dramatic fire at Laguna Estate
Saturday, 24th January 2015
A fire broke out in a ground floor flat in Maidstone House, Laguna Estate, yesterday morning and was brought under control within a half hour.
Some residents were evacuated and one was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene.
Several Royal Gibraltar Police officers were also treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. There were no further injuries.
The fire saw residents escaping the building via windows and balconies and using the scaffolding made their way to the roadside.
An investigation into how the blaze started has begun.
UK and No 6 decry Margallo interference with free speech
Saturday, 24th January 2015 - by Dominique Searle
Spain's top debating society Nueva Economía Fórum's decision to call off a planned presentation by Chief Minister Fabian Picardo in the country's capital sent shockwaves through democratic circles yesterday. A Spanish MP has tabled a question in the Madrid parliament.
As the Chronicle broke the news that there was evidence that Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo had personally intervened to get the talk halted there was condemnation from the British Government.
Govt and Opposition clash over 'lightbulb' safety
Saturday, 24th January 2015
The GSD yesterday expressed concern that refurbishment work on Resolution House in Laguna Estate was being carried out without concern for the health and safety of residents.
The Opposition said it was reacting to complaints it had received from tenants in the building.
But the intervention drew a sharp rebuttal from the Gibraltar Government, which said the only thing that had occurred in the building was that a bulb had blown.
It accused the Opposition of being against the refurbishment of Gibraltar's older housing estates.
Fixed term contracts in the care sector
Saturday, 24th January 2015
The Government has stated that a small number of employees in the Care Agency with imminently expiring fixed term contracts which will not be extended will not be dismissed.
In a statement the Government criticised what 'those who are trying to falsely sensationalise the situation' were attempting to insinuate. x

Vickie's Reviews > The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East
The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East
by Sandy Tolan
by Sandy Tolan
I was hoping to learn a lot from this book, but I'm sad to say I've been left more confused than when I began. The author does manage to sympathize with both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict- no small feat. However I found her writing to be disorganized and, at times, I had a hard time following her thought process. The main drawback for me was the inclusion of far too many names and players, many of which weren't important and distracted from the overall meaning and importance of the story of Dalia and Bashir.

An entertaining light comedy with tasteful handling of an otherwise "raunchy" subject. Hugh Dancy, and Rupert Everett are wonderfully charming, and add much needed quirkiness to an otherwise average film. I am NOT a Maggie Gyllenhaal fan, and I think that I would have preferred someone else in her role. I tried hard not to let that distract me from the movie...

He created an invention that turned on half the world. Good movie! "Hysteria" is an exuberantly charming romantic comedy, yes, but it's also a surprisingly compelling depiction of a world in transition, when tradition was being challenged by progressive behaviors and technologies. Whether the story is really entirely true or not as it claims or is just a tale of manners, sex and modern sensibilities I don't know. But it is attractive, light and jolly good fun. Everything about Hysteria from casting to the acting, the costumes, the scenery... you name it, all was top notch. In Victorian London, Dr. Mortimer Granville, a young doctor struggles to establish himself. He is hired by a doctor to investigate treatments for women diagnosed with female hysteria using 'pelvic massage'. The doctor's two daughters develop an interest in the young Dr. Granville, each tempting to woo him. |

Funny and charming but tiresome. Hysteria has an interesting premise but very little hanging from it's coattails. The film garnishes most of it's laughs by drawing contrast from the audience's 21st century sentimentality. Unfortunately, It's a one trick pony that soon loses it's punch about halfway through. What we're then left with to enjoy is a most generic period-romance that's sooo formulaic and exhaustingly familiar you can't help but feel little to no effort was put into the movie at all. |

The birth of the vibrator doesn't seem like a tale that demands telling until you realize that the most prolific sex toy of all time started during one of the most sexually repressive cultures, Victorian England. In 1880, the plague of the era was a malady known as "hysteria." Half the women in London seemed to suffer from this condition where, as the doctors of the times believed, a woman's uterus had become unaligned and needed to be properly readjusted; the readjustment produced a "paroxysm" of relief. To treat hysteria, these trained professionals would oil their hands, insert them inside a woman's vaginal canal, and apply alternating pressure. They were getting these women off. Hysteria presents a charming document about the invention of the vibrator, a miracle of modern science. However, I wish the movie had taken a more mature approach to the material. The alignment process was an arduous one, and Dr. Robert Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce) needs a new set of hands. Enter Mortimer Granville (Hugh Dancy), a crusading young doctor who butts heads with the medical establishment over things like washing hands and germs. Under Dr. Dalrymple's tutelage, the practice is never busier, relieving upper class women of hysteria. It's going so well that Dr. Dalrymple would like to eventually pass the practice on to his young prot�g�, as well as his proper young daughter, Emily (Felicity Jones). Then there's the doctor's other daughter, Charlotte (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who clashes with authority, is outspoken about women's suffrage, is critical of the limited role women play in society, and devotes her time to a lower-class shelter to provide refuge and education to those in need. She represents a brand-new kind of woman in time, and Mortimer cannot get a handle on her. Mort is suffering some pretty serious hand cramps from his line of work when he gets a splendid idea from his childhood friend and amateur inventor, Edmund St. John-Smythe (Rupert Everett). It seems with a quick fix, the electric feather duster may have other more scandalous uses. Hysteria is short of being hysterical but it's certainly charming and provides an interesting history lesson with a light touch. The very nature of women's hysteria is a fascinating moment in history where men were bending over backwards to find medical assessments for what is, in essence, horniness. The fact that these women's doctors were getting carpal tunnel from all the manually stimulation of their clients has got to be one of the strangest workplace hazards. In certain regards, the invention of the vibrator has saved lives, or at least the hands of medial practitioners. It's probably also made a whole lot of women a whole lot happier. Feminine sexuality was just an obtuse concept to the well-educated men in charge. One character says, with absolute certainty, that women cannot achieve sexual pleasure unless through insertion. As another fun historical note of male ignorance when it comes to female anatomy, when Deep Throat was being banned in the U.S., the federal judge who deemed it obscene cited, in his writing, that one of the many dangers of the provocative flesh film was that it mistakenly exposed women to the idea of an orgasm without insertion. This is almost 100 years later and yet men in high places of power are still carrying on complete ignorance of something they very literally know very little about. In that regard, Hysteria is jolly fun as we watch women get their jollies. There's always something fun about watching uptight characters cut loose, especially when they find pleasure that has been denied them. Having a talented cast is also a benefit when you're working in comedy. Dancy (Adam) plays our straight man with fine properness. He has a few moments where he gets to delightfully squirm thanks to bold women and bold topics. He's got some solid chemistry with Gyllenhaal (Crazy Heart), who is the feisty spitfire we expect in this sort of movie. Gyllenhaal is charming without being obnoxious, and her English accent is impeccable. Pryce (G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra) and Jones (Like Crazy) are funny in their understated, stuffy British formal way, while Everett (Stardust) provides a great comedic jolt as the self-possessed, blithe technophile, ready at a moment's notice for a good wisecrack. Sheridan Smith (How to Stop Being a Loser) also deserves special mention as a maid who was formerly employed as a prostitute. Her randiness is a nice counterpoint to all that Victorian repression and she pushes the movie further into sex farce. While amusing, I wish the filmmakers would have taken a, dare I say it, more mature approach to a very interesting subject of history. The structure and very aim of the movie is that of a typical romantic comedy, which is a shame given the atypical subject matter. It's pretty much a romantic comedy transplanted to merry old England. Much of the humor of the movie is divided into two camps: 1) watching the uptight Victorian era Brits cut loose with decorum, or, 2) self-aware humor about the ignorance of the age. The first is always fun since we're watching people sneak their true feelings through the wall of social repression. Wexler makes sue of a lot of sight gags and heartily enjoys cutaway reaction shots of ladies going orgasmic. It's enjoyable but the fact that Wexler has to keep going back to the reaction shots for jokes, it loses its effect. Then there's the self-aware humor built entirely upon dramatic irony, where the writers tweak the knowledge of a bygone era with all of our clever foresight: "Oh those stupid Victorians, not believing in things like germs and female orgasms." After a while, the self-aware humor becomes tiresome. We get it; these silly Brits did not understand female health and proceeded to rule in their ignorance. I wish the movie left behind the easy jokes for some stronger social commentary. To this very day, we have men legislating women's bodies and their reproductive rights (see: Oklahoma saying life begins weeks before conception, or Virginia demands medically-unnecessary vaginal probes for no other purpose than to shame women, and so so much more...). Ignorance knows no end, and one imagines the rom-com that makes fun of our current social mores and understanding. It's during the last act where Hysteria really starts to come apart at the seams. Beforehand, it's been a fairly light comedy with some punctuations of commentary from Charlotte and her idealistic desire for equality. But then, and spoilers will follow, the movie suddenly transforms into a courtroom drama with Charlotte on trial. Her very mental health is on trial and if she's found to be a hopeless case of incurable hysteria, then she'll be shipped to a sanitarium and have her uterus forcibly removed. Wow. That is some heavy stuff for a movie that spent an hour making sex jokes. The courtroom setting leads to some pretty transparent speechifying; any subtlety goes out the window and we listen to messages about women's suffrage, equality, and empathy. This conclusion feels like it was ripped from another movie. It's tonally jarring. Then, after our lead takes his moral stand and confesses to his belief that there is no such thing as hysteria, that women are just stuck in sexually unfulfilling relationships in a sexually repressed age, everyone goes home to think about life. Then, thirty days later when Charlotte gets out of prison, she's met by Mortimer where he, I kid you not, proposes to her on the spot. For a movie about breaking misconceptions about women, tying things up with a marriage proposal seems almost hypocritical. It also marks a pretty big leap in the burgeoning romantic relationship between Charlotte and Mort. It seems rushed and a strange way to end a movie about female empowerment. The rom-com elements have won out over any higher messages. Hysteria starts strong but goes limp. Hysteria runs out of juice. Hysteria is a pleasant experience but doesn't deliver a proper climax. Hysteria is not the feel-good movie of the year. The very nature of the movie lends itself to all sorts of innuenduous critical blurbs. It's a rom-com transplanted to Victorian England and I wish that it tried a little harder with the material rather than settling for easy jokes relying upon the ignorance of the age. The cast is superb and the movie is certainly fun, but it falls apart in the end when the messages overtake the narrative. So what is the best Hysteria blurb? I've had better. Nate's Grade: B- |

Hysteria is a bland, fitfully amusing take on Victorian era sexual repression,and sexism. Blessed with the assets of a stellar cast and occasionally effective comic situations, it's diverting in its early scenes, but is defeated in its later acts by a soporific brew of obviousness (especially in its 'paint by numbers' romance) and incessant preaching to the choir. Director (she has few credits) Tanya Wexler handles the comedy quite well, but finds no depth in the story or the characters, a fault that lies in the script. It's the mostly historically accurate story of an middle aged doctor, in Victorian London, Dalrymple, (the always solid character actor Jonathan Pryce) who has a lucrative practice treating women for 'Hysteria' a catch-all phrase for women who need their neglected clitorises stimulated and go to the doctor for their weekly manual 'treatment'. He hires a young, incredibly bland, idealist Granville (the handsome and forgettable Hugh Dancy) to take over his practice and eventually marry his beautiful, conventional daughter (Felicity Jones). He has another estranged, saintlike, feminist daughter (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who is constantly borrowing money to take care of poor homeless people, prostitutes and any other downtrodden character she can get her mitts on. When Granville gets hand cramps from his labors, he and his inventor friend Lord St. John-Smythe (Rupert Everett, the only actor aside from Gyllenhaal who's memorable and a consistently welcome presence) invent the electric woman's vibrator. The royalties from this gadget give Granville enough money to rescue Maggie and fund her philanthropy, and of course, marry her as an anachronistic equal. The sister is left bereft, however there's a scene at the end where we see her begin her relationship with the 'gadget' so you know she'll be fine. Maggie Gyllenhaal carries the movie, despite the fact that her ebullience is often shrilly over the top, especially compared to her bland fellow characters, she's full of life and masters her English accent very ably. Visually, London is depicted very blandly, even the working class, filthy streets. Rent Oliver! if want to see this milieu depicted properly. Younger people may learn something from Hysteria about how repressed women were back in the day so for them it may be some kind of revelation, and serve some didactic purpose, but I doubt it. And boys may learn what they need to do to please a woman, (at least a more accurate view than the porn they watch) which I guess is good, though they'll need a supplemental map 'down there' which the film does not provide. By the way, there's a play by the American playwright Sarah Rule, The Vibrator Play, that covers all the same territory (Hysteria clinic, check, naive doctor, check, repressed women, check) in the same time period, albeit in Boston, It's much more complex and interesting, if you can find it in book form to read or if it's being staged somewhere near you. That play has more parallels to our time and seems more relevant to the plight of today's women, who have not quite come far enough. This film feels like it's beating a dead horse and seems to be belaboring a cause that has long since been won. |

This is a delightful British comedy about the invention of the first vibrator in the medical treatment of female hysteria in the Victorian Era. A very funny film that benefits a lot from the elegant dialogue and the sharp cast, with a perfect chemistry between Dancy and Gyllenhaal.

I worked backstage on the stage play In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play) by Sarah Ruehl in Cleveland in the spring of 2012. I heard this movie (with the same general plot themes) was being released around the same time. The play is a few years old and evidently is not the source of the movie's script. Both are about the invention of the vibrator to treat hysteria in women in the Victorian Age. Both contain lots of laughs, mainly from the way this subject still makes society blush. In fact, it is only on the surface that these two stories are similar. The characters and actions that make up the movie are distinct in themselves. The costumes and set decorations are well done. The early electrical contraptions that Everett's character tinkers with really give us the feeling of traveling back in time. Gyllenhaal's Charlotte Dalrymple is a proto-feminist and social reforming school teacher. The way that she and Dancy's Granville end up romantically entangled is pretty standard. Both of their characters seem more like 21st Century creations thrust into this late-19th Century world. Even though the romance is nothing special, the comedy is worth your time. Sit back, loosen up, and feel the tension melt away.

in "Hysteria," Dr. Mortimer Granville(Hugh Dancy) is a good doctor preaching the gospel of hygiene in London. The bad news is this is 1880 when few are willing to listen. This also explains the many entries in his resume for this year alone. Not willing to accept the charity of his wealthy friend, Edmund St. John-Smythe(Rupert Everett), Mortimer decides to hire on with the first pill pusher that will have him which turns out to be Dr. Robert Dalrymple(Jonathan Pryce) who has developed a massage cure for women's hysteria. All goes well for Mortimer until he comes down with carpal tunnel syndrome. At least, Dalrymple has two grown daughters, Emily(Felicity Jones), amateur phrenologist, and Charlotte(Maggie Gyllenhaal), professional reformer.
"Hysteria" is proof that no movie can be all bad that contains a reasoned defense of socialism. In fact, the movie is an enjoyable and often amusing romantic comedy. The bad news is that Mortimer is something of a stock character with an obvious choice between profit and working for the charity of others. The central difference between "Hysteria" and most other romantic comedies is its attention to historical detail, especially the invention of the vibrator which continues to give more people pleasure than even the chocolate chip cookie. This is a vast improvement over some of the now discarded relics and ideas of science that while we might laugh at them now, were taken very seriously at the time. One of the harsher sounding ones is alluded to while I should mention that this is still 50 years before the lobotomy was put into wide use. All of which is sadly still relevant with women's rights continually under threat. |

An acceptable if not grand period piece about early studies of female stimulation and vibrators. Unfortunately the sensational nature of the piece takes up more attention than the writing.

A delightful film. Great dialog and performances. The film kind of reminded me of movies like Casanova, Kinsey, and An Ideal Husband. Hugh Dancy shines in the lead role. He has a great on screen chemistry with both Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rupert Everettt. Rupert Everett almost steals the films. I definitely recommend this film.

"Hysteria" has several entertaining and humorous moments, as any period piece about the invention of the vibrator would surely have, but where the film fails in the constant overshadowing of the talented supporting cast, over the leading stars. Not to say Hugh Dancy and Maggie Gyllenhaal do not carry themselves respectably, but with Felicity Jones and Rupert Everett radiating the most humorous and thoughtful portions of the film, it is hard to justify the casting choices of the leads. The most memorable parts of the film involve Everett on his telephone. Instead of forcing the eventual couple of Dancy and Gyllenhaal, I much more leaned towards Everett and Gyllenhaal shacking up and Dancy ending up with Jones, but instead, we are force fed this strange coupling, where no one really wins. "Hysteria" marks one of the most sexual period pieces I have yet encountered (apart from the film "Garden Of Eden"), and ends up being quite enjoyable.

I saw a trailer for this quite some time ago, wanted to see it at the time, and then completely forgot about it. I stumbled across an advertisement for it again recently, and I'm so glad I did. This is a witty, charming and incredibly funny film, albeit a little awkward. The last 20 minutes or so are a bit lackluster, but for the most part I had a great time watching this movie.

Joseph Mortimer Granville patented the first electromechanical vibrator. His contribution to our society is immeasurable. This film is based on that contribution. Good or bad, this film's story would be worthy of being told as it is such an essential part of the history of the human race, but the script was decent, the performances were good and it was humorous, as it should have been when dealing with sexually conservative morons and idiotic prudes. God bless the vibrator, and long live hysterical paroxysm!

A period drama that covers the invention of the vibrator, this is a swift and funny film that is very entertaining. I LOVE the central romance--both Dancy's and Gyllenhaal's characters are people ahead of their time, in different ways. I think there can be too much of a broad touch with the comedy but this is still so much fun to watch. And a social consciousness is well expressed here too. The acting is also a highlight, from all involved.

This comedy/drama is far more entertaining than most true story period pieces - not because of the sensational story topic as much as because the characters were interesting and easy to get to like. Maggie Gyllenhaal's character is occasionally a little over-the-top, and the romance comes on much more quickly than makes a lot of sense, but overall it's a fun, interesting movie.

NFC preview time.
We looked at the AFC on Wednesday, and today it's time to breakdown the 16 teams in the NFC and get in all the postseason picks before Thursday's opener in Green Bay, (which means Football Night in America. Come on, you missed St. Tony Dungy. Admit it).
Here we go (and keep in mind that I managed to go 0-8 in picking division winners last year, which if you think about it is almost as impressive as going 8-for-8) ...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)
They are absolutely on the shortlist of teams that we look at as legitimate Super Bowl threats -- I'd put them in with the Patriots, Jets, Ravens, Steelers, Packers and Saints -- and are loaded with talent, but this is still a team with a questionable offensive line, an injury-prone starting quarterback and Vince Young waiting in the wings should what kind of seems like the inevitable happen to Michael Vick. If Vick stays healthy (understood that keeping the franchise QB is paramount all the teams I just listed as Super Bowl contenders, but Vick strikes me as easily the most likely to be injured in that group) the Eagles are a lock to win this division. But if he's out for four or five games the playoffs are no lock.
2. Dallas Cowboys (9-7)
Tony Romo has as many runner-up finishes in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship as he does playoff wins (one). Let's be fair when it comes to Romo: He has put up some remarkable numbers (fourth all-time in passer rating, the best net yards per pass attempt in NFL history), but he will never get a seat at the table until he has a sustained playoff run. That's how it works with quarterbacks -- no one ever talks about Barry Sanders or Kellen Winslow or Jason Taylor never winning a Super Bowl -- and right now Romo is on the outside looking in when it comes to any serious discussion of the top QB's in the league.
3. New York Giants (8-8)
Tons of injuries on defense (five legitimate contributors have gone down during the preseason, the latest being Jonathan Goff, who tore his ACL on Monday) on top of an already shaky secondary? I think we're looking at the end of the Tom Coughlin era in New York (hello to Bill Cowher) and the beginning of the Tom Coughlin at CBS era (let's put him as part of the sixth team with Kevin Harlan and scramble to find the mute button).
4. Washington Redskins (6-10)
Just when I started to question my credibility for picking the Patriots to win 13 games this season, Joe Theismann comes along and reminds me that I've got a long way to go if I'm ever truly going to be a convert to The Church of Homerism:
"I think the Redskins can go double-digits," Theismann told Mike Wise and Holden Kushner on 106.7 The Fan in Washington earlier this week. "I know there are people that don't think they'll win 8 games. I think this team can be a double-digit win football team. They're not afraid of the Philadelphia Eagles. They're not afraid of the Cowboys. They're not afraid of the Giants. They'll beat the Giants on Sunday afternoon."
OK, is that a reach? Maybe. But give the former Mr. Cathy Lee Crosby this: The man is no homer when it comes to evaluating quarterbacks.
"Rex is unflappable," Theismann said. "When Rex Grossman signed and came back, the way it was decided who was gonna be on the first team was by a coin flip. Kyle Shanahan basically brought a coin out and said OK, call it, heads or tails. And Beck wound up getting the start in practice over Rex. That's how it turned out. It was a coin flip. Rex told me that, that it was a coin flip. … We have a couple quarterbacks that can play in Washington. There are places like Carolina, where they'd love to have one of our guys to be able to be the starter down there."
I'd like to think it might bother the folks at NFL Network to see one of their own dropping the We Bomb, but when you consider that they actually hired Theismann in the first place it's hard to imagine a lot of thought is going on in those offices.
1. Green Bay Packers (12-4)
Good news: I'm bringing back my not particularly well-read, not particularly well-received and not particularly well-written weekly picks column! Also this: I really, really sucked at making NFL picks all season, which hurts the quality of a picks column every time. But this is a new season, and I'm planning to make Stu Feiner proud. The picks column will run every Friday, so let me take the Packers (-4) over the Saints in the opener on Thursday night, which pretty much makes Saints 44, Packers 10 a certainty.
2. Detroit Lions (10-6)*
We saw it with the Chiefs and Buccaneers last year, the Bengals in 2009 and the Dolphins in 2008 -- it seems almost every year a team makes the jump from double-digit losses to double-digit wins. The Lions sure to seem to fit the profile, right? Young quarterback (though a major health concern), a pair of stars in Calvin Johnson and Ndamukong Suh, a solid finish in 2010 and a third year in Jim Schwartz's system. Again, assuming Stafford can stay on the field, Look for the Lions to make the postseason for the first time this century.
3. Chicago Bears (8-8)
Jay Cutler was sacked 52 times last season (most in the NFL) and the Bears ranked 22nd in rushing. Their best lineman (Olin Kreutz) is gone and J'Marcus Webb (who was awful at right tackle in 2010) moves to left tackle, with Gabe Carimi at right tackle and Roberto Garza replacing Kreutz. Throw in maybe the toughest schedule in the NFL this season (how about Atlanta, New Orleans and Green Bay for the first three games?) and this will be a lost season for the Bears.
4. Minnesota Vikings (7-9)
I think Donovan McNabb -- soon to be 35, true, but just a season removed from a 92.9 passer rating and playing with Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin -- gives the Vikings a season of competent play under center, which was the opposite of Favre in 2010. But this is the best division in football -- if you buy into the Lions -- and someone has to finish last.
1. New Orleans Saints (13-3)
True, I'm picking them to lose Thursday, but look at the rest of the schedule for the Saints and find me three more losses:
Week 2: Home vs. Bears
Week 3: At Houston
Week 4: At Jacksonville
Week 5: At Carolina
Week 6: At Tampa
Week 7: Home Indy (remember, could be without Manning)
Week 8: At St. Louis
Week 9: Home Tampa
Week 10: At Atlanta
Week 11: BYE
Week 12: Home Giants
Week 13: Home Detroit
Week 14: At Tennessee
Week 15: At Minnesota
Week 16: Home Atlanta
Week 17: Home Carolina
If you were to set the lines for each of those games right now -- which is dopey I understand -- the Saints would be underdogs in Week 10 against the Falcons in Atlanta. That's it.
2. Atlanta Falcons (12-4)*
In the Anyone Not Named Tom Brady Division, Matt Ryan was as good a pick as any for MVP last season, throwing for 3,705 yards and 28 touchdowns against nine interceptions for a 13-3 team. Ryan -- and the Falcons offense -- will only be better this season, adding Julio Jones. The Patriots should lead the NFL in scoring again this season, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the Falcons make a legitimate push at 500 points this year.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9)
One victory over a team with a winning record last year, and that was in Week 17 against a Saints team with nothing to play for (playoff seeding was already clinched, Chase Daniel came in for Drew Brees late in the game). It's not unusual for a young team to take a step back after a breakout season -- think the Patriots in 1995 -- and it wouldn't surprise me to see a humbled Tampa be that double-digit loss to double-digit win team again in 2012.
4. Carolina Panthers (2-14)
You know what? If Andrew Luck turns out to be what everyone tells us Andrew Luck is, the Panthers would absolutely take him first overall if they have the pick again. That's the beauty of the new CBA -- it's not perfect, but the Panthers can write off Cam Newton and his $22 million (the last No. 1 overall QB pick, Sam Bradford, signed for $50 million guaranteed) if they think Luck is even potentially a minor upgrade.
1. St. Louis Rams (9-7)
They'll score enough points -- Bradford has future All-Pro written all over him, Steven Jackson has rushed for over 1,000 yards in six straight seasons and Mike Sims-Walker could be a legitimate No. 1 receiver -- to win this division but the defense isn't ready to compete against the NFC powers in the postseason.
2. Seattle Seahawks (6-10)
Yup, this division is going to suck again this year. Call it a hunch, but I don't think the Belichick special on NFL Network is going to be preempted for a roundtable discussion on the Charlie Whitehurst/Tarvaris Jackson quarterback controversy.
3. Arizona Cardinals (6-10)
Kevin Kolb ($63 million contract -- or $21 million for each win in his career to date), is a complete coin flip. In three years he could be Scott Mitchell Redux as easily as he could be a top-10 quarterback (and let's remember this is a guy with a concussion history).
4. San Francisco 49ers (5-11)
If Alex Smith had been the 81st pick of the 2005 NFL Draft I suspect he'd probably be in his third season as a backup quarterback in Kansas City or Jacksonville or wherever he could land. I keep reading this is really his last shot in San Francisco, and I suspect it wouldn't bother Jim Harbaugh -- secure in the first year of a $25 million contract -- at all to see Smith struggle. I wonder if Harbaugh would sign for a 4-12 season right now if it guaranteed him Andrew Luck.

Rani Mukherjee will appeal to the Police Commissioners of various cities to provide basic facilities, to have female officials in crime branches.
While Rani Mukherjee was prepping up for her role as the crime branch officer in her upcoming film, Mardaani, she visited various offices to absorb the atmosphere there and get a sense of how they work there.
On her visits, she was surprised and taken aback to know that the female officials in these offices did not have basic facilities like separate washrooms.
When Rani learnt about this issue, she decided to put in her word to the concerned authorities to make the necessary amendment. Since there are such important women officers at top ranking posts they should be able to put in a word too.
It is an extremely important matter according to her and requires immediate attention. Rani hopes that some steps will be taken towards this voice that has been raised by her.

Bond types
This is how we have classified the various types of bonds in the NZ market. They split into 2 basic types: "bonds" and "preference shares".
The major difference is that preference shares pay what is termed a 'dividend' but at a fixed rate, rather than 'interest' because 'dividends' can have imputation credits attached to them, and that has some distinct advantages. The other significant difference is that they are subordinate to any debt of the issuer -that is, they rank lower than debt - but rank ahead of ordinary shares.
Bonds (aka notes, securities)
Senior bonds: these sit at the top of the unsecured creditor ranking and are usually described as senior unsecured bonds or notes and are issued by non-banks.
Registered transferable deposits: the same as senior bonds but are issued by NZ banks. NZ banks do not need to issue a prospectus and RTDs, as they are called (no, they are not alcoholic) are legally the same as ordinary bank term deposits, for all that means regarding potential government support.
Subordinated callable bonds: usually issued by financial institutions as a form of equity in the past, but the rules have changed so don't expect any more of these. Normally have a call in 5 years and would have been expected to be called then. If not called, they reset at a larger than original margin over the 5 year swap rate. Beware ones issued before the recent financial turmoil as the reset interest rates may be attractive to the issuer.
Capital bonds: also called capital notes, in the NZ market these bonds are normally fixed rate, subordinated bonds with what is known as an 'election date'. At that date bondholders are offered a choice. The exact choice differs from bond to bond, but the bondholder will end up, at the issuer's choice, either getting fresh capital bonds with a new interest rate and election date, or ordinary shares issued at the then market price (less a small discount) or have them redeemed for cash. The bond holder does not have the power to force redemption for cash at the election date. What that means is that the issuer can make the new terms to rollover terms so unpalatable as to effectively force conversion into ordinary shares.
Convertible bonds: in the NZ market, these are normally fixed rate subordinated bonds that at the conversion date can be converted into ordinary shares of the issuer at the then market prices (less a small discount) or redeemed for cash. In other markets, 'convertibles' are bonds that give the choice to convert to the bond holder, usually at a fixed share price.
Subordinated perpetual bonds: bonds with no maturity date but callable at the issuer's option. In the NZ market, typically the coupon is reset every year.
Structured credit: these are usually bonds backed by assets (known as asset backed securities – ABS) or by mortgages (known as mortgage backed securities – MBS) and issued out of a trust or special purpose vehicle. However they can be structured in different ways (e.g. benefiting from a guarantee from a third party) so it is especially wise to look closely at the structure, terms and conditions and the assets backing the bonds.
Preference shares
Redeemable preference shares : usually have fixed rate or reset coupons. They are callable - that is, redeemable - by the issuer but are not convertible into ordinary shares and, if not called, are perpetual.
Convertible preference shares: the same as redeemable preference shares but can be converted into ordinary shares of, usually, the issuer at the issuer's option.

Please pray that God deals with this situation because I have made some mistakes.

My son Eddie is addicted to pain pills & nerve pills. He has stole my meds that I need for my being Bi-polar and the pain meds I have to take for my back condition about 6 times. I tried to prosecute him for breaking into my home to steal but was unsuccessful. I asked advice from a Christian friend @ church yesterday. She gave me advice and prayed for/with me as I cried. Last night my son came to my house trying to emotionally blackmail me into giving him some of my meds, which I now keep in a locked, pickproof handgun safe. I told him no, as usual. ( This is not the first time he has tried to get me to give him my medication.) He got mad at me and said some harsh things. I have been praying about the situation for years, that GOD would cure him of this addiction and that he & his family (He has a wife and 2 sons) would come to know JESUS and that he would turn his life around. He spends everything he earns on drugs, when he is functioning well enough to work, which is only after he either just took pills, or is wanting the money to buy some. Praise the LORD that his wife is a college graduate and works, because although he loves his boys he loves his drugs more so, his wife is the main one who supports the family. She is aware of his addiction and of course, aware of the times he has stolen from me since I tried to prosecute him for this. She is the queen of denial and refuses to leave him or to admit that he has a problem, even though he steals money from her purse every chance he gets. I told him last night to get out of my house and not to come back until he straightens up and is drug free. As his mother it broke my heart but, after MUCH prayer and the advise of other Christians, I feel as if I chose to do the right thing. Please, pray for GOD'S divine intervention & that he will get some help for his addiction. Also, that that at some point our relationship can be restored, as he is the only child I was blessed with and this is tearing me up inside!! ONLY GOD'S intervention will save him and restore our broken relationship. Won't you PLEASE join me in prayer!!!! Thank you in advance for your prayers!!! Sherry
January 26, 2015
Please pray God can heal my relationship with the other half of me. He is miserable and I haven't been able to find any encouragement for him. Our walks with God have gone astray and we need Him to come out of this trial. He isn't even praying anymore and it has drastically effected his mood and how he treats others, God truly is the only one who can give humans a heart full of love and the only way is to have Jesus in your heart and to pray and mediate in His word daily. As a couple we should be doing that together and on our own, it's the only way to grow closer to God and each other. Please pray that we can find our way back to where we need to be

This is a simple pattern, too. Another idea from a Japanese pattern magazine (Pochee). Take a triangular piece of fabric and sew the sides with blanket stitch. Then embroider a fixing pin. Finished!
1m x 1m sized fabric, fixing pin, stuff for embroidery
Jan 11, 2010, 08.48 PMby nettevivante
I totally agree! One might even make it reversible, by using two different colored triangular pieces of fabric.

Cute idea. I think this would be great for a piece of left over fabric.

Description: Executed in the manner of a 1940's low-budget programmer, this comedy-thriller chronicles the misadventures of screenwriter Edgar Allen (Rufus Butler Seder), aspiring to move along in the literary footsteps of another, 19th-century Edgar Allen. Edgar is trying to come up with good horror script in order to impress an agent. If the script is good, the agent will take on the scenarist. Needing digs, but having little dough, Edgar agrees to work for room and board as a janitor of the ramshackle Welcome Apartments, owned by an odd experimental filmmaker. Edgar finds that every resident is more than a little eccentric and uses them in his new script.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Wharton Memorial Psychiatric Hospital
Mental -- An early look
by Jonathan Toomey, posted May 25th 2009 10:00AM
During the pilot episode of the new FOX drama Mental, Annabella Sciorra's Dr. Nora Skoff tells Chris Vance's Dr. Jack Gallagher that his recent decision to strip down butt-naked to help a patient deserves some of her Harvard business school advice - ask for royalties because the video of it is sure to be more popular than Paris Hilton's sex tape. To that, I offer some insight from a Syracuse University TV production graduate - there's a reason FOX held off on premiering Mental until the summer. It's not very good.
